[MyOhMy]

Here's a bad one.

 

[ReligiousNutEruption]

Another good one

 

[Aerodyamic]

You're all welcome.

Edit: I just came across something else concerning Daniel Mustard... he was (as of July 30th) 93 days sober, and stopped by the Anthony & Opie show to record another cover. I'm not sure that I dig this cover quite as much, but considering it's a song that wasn't written for the guitar, I'm still damn impressed.

Spoiler: CLICK IT!

 

[ReligiousNutEruption]

You're all welcome.

Haha, I was just going to post that. Anyway here's another abortion.

I usually don't think about bad covers.

 

[Mr. Gency]

Good? Bad? I'll let you decide.
It kinda makes me think of that wedding singer from a movie (I don't know for sure but I think it was Old School), he also had a cameo at the end of Hangover.

 

[Marter]

I can't think of any bad ones, so I'll post two good ones. ^_^

[MisterMojo]

Mike Patton's entire Mondo Cane album. Also when Mike Patton did that four song LP with the Dillinger Escape Plan and covered Aphex Twin's "Come to Daddy." Also when Faith No More got back together and did a mocking cover of "Poker Face" at Reading Festival in the UK.


Yes, I have a Mike Patton obsession. No, I'm not going to do anything about it.

 

[Blue Musician]

I only have good covers, Sweet Dreams (Are made of These) by Marilyn Manson and Welcome Home (Sanitarium) and One by Apocalyptica, covering Eurothymics and Metallica respectably.

EDIT: Oh, and Hurt by Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails. This cover gives much more emotion to the original.

 

[Miumaru]

I avoid bad music, so heres a good cover. This does what a cover should do, respect the source but still sound their own.

 

[rt052192]

all excellent covers. There'd be more if I could only remember them...

Spoiler

the original is also awesome!
not that bad...
RIP
one thing new metallica actually did well
stand by me
ummm ska is just silly...
just proves that rap isn't that difficult

 

[Krion_Vark]

Good:

Spoiler: Iris- New Found Glory

Spoiler: Holy Diver - Killswitch Engage

And if you can find it the Acoustic Cover of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters by Rev Theory.

 

[Hazy]

I know this is going to sound incredibly fictitious in a kind of "Yeah, never heard THAT before" kind of way, but believe me when I say that I was literally just about to post that.

Oh, and it seems I've been beaten to Still Fly as well... tonight is not my night.

Damn, I loooove Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. I like it more than the original version performed by Nine Inch Nails.

I don't like his version of Personal Jesus though. I'm more a fan of Marilyn Mason's cover of it. That and Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This).





Well at least the music... The videos are a bit weird.

I dont know anyone but my dad (who is where I learned of them from) who even knows who Cake is, so I am very happy to hear you wanted to post it too.

Listening to Prolonging the Magic as we speak.

They're just about my favorite band.
