The radio station my morning alarm is set to plays it sometimes and it's a bad way to start the day. seconded, that song awakens a rage I feel with little else. What an atrocious cover

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:Also, as a general rule, 99% of covers that are metal covers of a non-metal song, and 99% of covers that are non-hip-hop covers of a hip-hop song are all dogshit. Facts. The only good metal covers of non-metal songs that I can think of are Muse's cover of "House of the Rising Sun" and Apocalyptica's cover of "Hall of the Mountain King".

The original song is awful enough -- it's actually impressive that someone managed to make an even worse version.

How about Weezer’s cover of Toto’s “Rains of Africa”? That felt completely unnecessary imo, and I really like weeper (blue album and Pinkerton at least)

Puddle of Mud's "REEEEEEEOW" cover of About a Girl. Maybe the worst real song I've heard ever. Say what you will about Kurt Kobain, but the dude wasn't doing a lot of complicated vocal stuff. This rear end in a top hat is straining like he's holding in a poo poo the entire time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTh9qiXEy4Q Matt Weddle - Hey Ya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edsbS_SCADE CzarChasm fucked around with this message at 22:08 on May 22, 2023 |

That felt completely unnecessary imo, and I really like weeper (blue album and Pinkerton at least) yeah terrible cover. for a start africa had already been a bit of a popular meme song for a while and they were late to covering it, had already been played to death. and then second of all it was a pointless cover because it was basically the same but with some distorted power chords under the chorus.

This looks like a comedy skit 3) I heard the "I do pick a number too" lyric as "I do take a number two" because of this post

FnM's version of War Pigs. It's perfectly fine and well played but it doesn't really add anything to the original. It's just like what a decent Black Sabbath cover band would have done.
