Worst Song Cover Ever
- Thread starter Soviet Heavy
- Start date
As far as bigger acts pissing on each others milkshake and then drinking it, I think Limp Bizkit's cover of Ministry's "Thieves" is at the top of the horrible heap.

Also, while it didn't get much attention from me one way or another, my friends big on New Order HATED Orgy's electro-numetal adaptation of their "Blue Monday".

Even with all that cowbell there was no saving this cover, unless the goal was instructing one on how to un-rock a great rock song. And was it just my ears or was Celine's sidekick sneaking in some auto-tuning?skywalkerlion said:
This thread...just...
Depression...sorrow...
This thread is killing me, but I can't stop pressing play on every damn video posted. I must REALLY hate myself today.
The A7x cover I was like 'wtf, this isn't bad man that into guitar is sweet and it can-OHWAITWTFISHEDOINGNOOOOOOOO'. That first guitarist should just solo the whole song, in a different band, in another country. The singer sounded like someone kicked him in the balls.
And lol at that chick doing the Nirvana cover, I bet she claims she has bi-polar and punches people a lot. I'd still hit that though (if/when she's legal)

I couldn't do it...it was horrible...Here's my entry but I doubt it'll match up to the shit sandwiches others have posted here...mine is more of a shit-n-cheese whereas everyone else brought in 6-foot party shit-subs.
as much as I love Cradle, I can't stand some of their covers...Hallowed be thy Name is another cover they did that I just can't stand.

All covers done by Placebo. Especially of Kate Bush and The Smiths.
Fuck you Brian Molko, fuck you.

Not exactly a cover but, this song samples the song of hard work.
This song is about him partying so much he DOESN'T want to go home. At least do it properly.
I'd heard about the Avril Lavigne-Chop Suey debacle before but never actually listened to it until the link at the start of the thread. Oh dear god that was awful. Shameful even.
My personal least favourite was the Sugababes version of Obsession. The original (and indeed pretty much any other subsequent covers) feature a guy singing one set of lyrics and a girl the other, because that's what the song is about (that and undertones of stalking and rape). When the Sugababes did it, all of them sung all of the lyrics, thus meaning none of it made any sense and making them sound like a bunch of skitzos. Also they sounded awful.

That's not right at all. If it's patently the same song with the same words, any band would get sued if they just plain 'ripped it off'. A cover is when an artist or band, having paid royalties to whomever the copyright holder is, records their own version of a previously released song. And they don't have to make it sound different, there are plenty of covers out there, particularly with todays contemporary music, that are practically identical to the original.Kiraxa said:
