You can all thank Cyn for this. A post on cover tunes was her idea.
In fact, she pretty much threatened me with grievous bodily harm if I didn’t do a cover tunes post.
So here we go. I figured I would start with the crap that I don’t like.
It’s one of the most iconic and easily recognized songs in history……and Korn screwed it up.
Because no list of really screwed up things is complete without her, Miley Cyrus makes me think Cobain did the smart thing.
No. No No No No No NO NO! Stop singing that and go get some more toilet paper, Sheryl.
I…I just threw up in my mouth. And that was still better than this garbage.
Alright, enough of that. I can’t take anymore. Let’s get to some good stuff.
I’ll start with a George Michael cover. Yup, a good list is going to start with George Michael due to Seether.
Mudvayne gives the Stinger a bit of edge.
Yes, it’s sacrilege. Yes, Lars is a douche. Yes, they’re sellouts for cutting their hair. I still like Metallica’s cover of Seger’s Turn the Page. (Video is NSFW)
And finally, the greatest cover of all time in that it was done by a badass who did the song way way waaaaay better than it was done originally. The Man In Black covers NIN’s Hurt.
Alright Hostages, that’s all I got. Some of the ones I hate and love the most. What you got?
