Total props to the guy admitting he loves George Michael on a metal show.
Hear, hear ... 'waves piece of paper'
Technically not a metal show
Talents tatent
@@nectarinedreams7208 maybe not, but it’s predominantly metal/rock they discuss. How many non-metal fans do you think watch the show?
GM was pure metal.
I might be in the minority here but Disturbed's cover of "The Sound of Silence." It does nothing for me and everybody gushes over it.
His vocals are so bad...
I like it, but there is a German band called Atrocity who had a better version, on their 2000 album Gemini.
It sucks. Check out Nevermore's cover version of that song, a total curveball but it really works
i fucking despise that cover. it's so corny and overly dramatic. absolutely awful and everyone acted like it was amazing
Can't stand it. I much prefer the original.
American Woman - Lenny Kravitz covering Guess Who. Imho
Douglas Howe Lenny Kravitz doing anything at all is pretty dire.
@@patrickcrowther9195 I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly ...LOL...man I hate Kravitz
Scott Ray it’s like someone fed pictures of James Brown, Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix into a Fischer Price rock star-making machine and out came Lenny.
@@patrickcrowther9195 That actually sounds pretty cool.
Douglas Howe The only thing he’s done of any significance.
Oh God....Madonna's cover of American Pie! 🤣
Horrendous.
Tawdry tarts shouldn't cover classic songs..
Great choice! That is hideous.
"Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird," by Will to Power is truly nauseating, especially the "Freebird" part. I could never before imagine a Lynyrd Skynyrd anthem getting turned into a limp noodle, but whoomp, there it is. Also, not bothered at all by R.E.M.'s "Toys in the Attic," but Axl Rose's singing of Mccartney's lines on "Live and Let Die" is cringeworthy.
Hudson Valley Squares is the highlight of the week. Thanks for all the great content.
I so agree !
I'm surprised there was no mention of Celine Dion's infamous cover of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long."
Oh, that one IS awful.
I didn't like her cover of "Alone" by Heart.
I guess you could say it shook a lot of people hahah.
Hey! It's about time for the 2nd round of this one! :)
Some picks: Happy Mondays - The Boys are Back in Town, Aerosmith - Come Together, Celine Dion - You Shook Me All Night Long, Motley Crue - Anarchy in the UK, Megadeth - These Boots, Disturbed - The Sound of Silence
I actually don’t mind Megadeth‘s covers of These Boots (and I Ain’t Superstitious, for that matter). At least they are quite far from the originals, which is always good. Can’t say the same about Anarchy In The UK though. That one sounds too much like the Pistols version, just not nearly as good.
By the way, Belle & Sebastian did a good cover of The Boys Are Back In Town. Haven’t heard the Happy Mondays version yet.
Mötley Crüe covering Madonna's Like a Virgin has to be one of the worst covers ever
Wow. That happened?
I'm so glad I didn't know that, and will never purposely hear it.
Yeah it's terrible and 35 years too late. Lords of the New Church did a great tongue in cheek cover of that one in the 80's and it totally worked.
Never heard that and I’m not even remotely curious to find out what it sounds like. Just picturing in my head how atrocious that must sound is enough
craig matthews There’s something about Müttley Crüde and virgins that just doesn’t sit well together.
@@ItsSuffBiatch Stiv & The Lords!!!
The Lord's Prayer.
Sheryl Crow’s cover of “Sweet Child O’Mine.”
Sheryl Crow’s cover of everything.
Disturbed’s version of “Sounds Of Silence” is number one for me. The “Toys In The Attic” cover by R.E.M. is great, actually, the b-sides and rarities album that song is on is cool, there is an excellent cover of The Velvet Underground’s “Pale Blue Eyes”. Dead Letter Office is the album. Didn’t know Pete didn’t like R.EM., I guess there isn’t enough Hammond organ in their music. 😂
REALLY??? You don’t? I really like the cover. Such a great build-up to an awesome and powerful crescendo
Wow, really!? I respect your opinion obviously, but I find that to be a very powerful/emotional performance.
Chris Connolly it’s awful, it’s got that generic overproduced metal sound to it and I can’t stand that lead singers voice, it is so bland, he’s just shouting, he’s not even singing.
ssp I respectfully disagree. Yes, At the end of the song (the crescendo), he is definitely screaming and shouting more than he is singing. But I find the slow and long build-up to feature some great and powerful vocals
Alexander Gilles yeah that’s cool, I find it bland and awful. The original is an incredible song, that cover makes me want to punch that lead singer in the face. lol.
Hey, Nick, I also think George Michael's voice is phenomenal. One of the best, most pure vocal talents I've ever heard.
The 2 of the worst covers by band and artist. Both of these are The Who covers.
1. Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit
2. My Generation - Hillary Duff
I was about to put down that Limp Bizkit. Ugh! What a disaster that was.
@@jtmichaelson Fred Durst can't sing in tune. I could tell they autotuned his voice for that song
Sheryl Crow did a really bad cover of Behind Blue Eyes too.
@@ChromeDestiny For me, it's either the original or the Roger Daltrey stand-alone version featuring an Irish group called "The Chieftans."
Rebecca's Sweet Music Limp Bizkit covered ‘Behind Blue Eyes’? Isn’t there a law against that kind of thing?
There are so much sports on tonight MLB, NFL, Roland Garros, WWE... so I was watching all while listening to your show with my headphones on. Cannot miss The Hudson Valley Squares on Mondays. How cool would it be to sit at a big table with all you guys(like in a viking hall), drinking beers, with kick ass metal music in the background and ranting away. Keep 'em coming, this is absolute gold!
Probably the absolute worst: Tiffany with "I Saw HIM Standing There." Why the hell did Paul McCartney allow that?!!!?
Bowie and Jagger doing "Dancing in the Streets." Michael Bolton: When a Man Loves a Woman.
I believe Bowie and Jagger did it for charity though, so I guess you gotta give 'em a break on that.
I chatted to the goddess that is Martha Reeves about 10 years back about the bands that have covered 'Dancing In The Streets'. She actually loves Bowie & Jagger's version
@@Walesktf ....could be the video made it appear worse than it was. ;-)
@@jazzpunk I agree matey, the video was pretty cheesy
@@jazzpunk To quote Peter Griffin "The gayest video ever...that happened! And we let it happen!"
Ancient history. William Shatner singing " Hey Mr. Tambourine Man".
MR. TAMBOURINE MAN!!!! 😆
Yeah, Shatner singing Tambourine Man is always good for a laugh. Dylan must have choked on a reefer when he first heard that.
I also hated Tiffany's version of "I Saw Him Standing There" (originally done by the Beatles).
Listened to Wing for about 30 second and it was worth the laugh. Sounds like an NES game paired with Yoko Ono on helium.
yes, this was painful in a stoopid kind of way
"So I went to see Smashmouth with this girl. It was terrible. And it was at Great Adventure no less."
"What kind of concert do you go see at Great Adventure?"
"Smashmouth. He just told you."
Haha. You guys crack me up.
Haha. I remember Kool and The Gang played at Great Adventure. No, I did not see it, but I'm sure it was better than Smash Mouth.
Winger’s Purple Haze cover is the most mediocrely bad cover song I’ve ever heard
Drift Away as covered by Uncle Kracker, original by Dobie Gray (well, the best version).
Madonna's cover of American Pie by Don Mclean
Beach Boys/Fat Boys--Wipe Out (original hit by the Surfaris)
Beach Boys--School Days (original Chuck Berry)
Blues Brothers 2000--Riders in the Sky
Megadeth--Anarchy in the UK (originally Sex Pistols)
Five Finger Death Punch--Gone Away (original The Offspring)
Nickelback--Devil Went down to Georgia (original Charlie Daniels Band)
Presidents of the United States--Kick out the Jams (original MC5)
Smashmouth--I'm a Believer (original by the Monkees, written by Neil Diamond)
I know some people who would list Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm, but I love it.
I remember first hearing Six Feet Under's cover of TNT, I thought it was a joke at first
Freddie Mercury: "You can do what you want with my music. Just don't make it boring!" 😅
George Michael did an amazing job at the Freddie Mercury tribute. Somebody to Love sounded great.
George was always great!
Whether or not he was your thing, he had a great voice.
Worst/Best cover: Ozzy and Dweezil doing "Stayin' Alive". Depends on the mood for the day.
JT Michaelson - Les Claypool also does Stayin Alive. It is awful..!! 😂
@@JosephFrancisBurton Stayin Alive Bluegrass Style...Yuck!!!
I thought that was cool
Leather wolf did a horrible version of Bad Moon Rising too
Wtf haha. Today's "Mississippi Queen" is pretty bad though
As an old guy who's always loved music I really appreciate these SoT videos. The old rock & roll enthusiasts are dying off and when we're gone musical opinion will be written by people who weren't there and don't have an understanding of the times or the artists.
Agreed 👍
Ozzy Osbourne and Miss Piggy covering Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild" is an unintentional Kids, Don't Do Drugs ad.
I found it so bad it's good.
The Johnny B Goode cover by Priest was the first that came to my mind as well. Very weird cover choice by a band that had made a couple of really tasteful covers prior to that.
Material for the next episode:
5) Machine Head - Message in a Bottle (It's one thing to go through an ill-conceived nu-metal phase. it's another thing to take The Police along with you)
4) Guns n Roses - Hair of the Dog (always sounded like an uninspired cash grab for Axl. Britny Foxx's cover that came out in the same time period tops it, easily. Of course the original is untouchable)
3) Will To Power - Baby I Love Your Way/Free Bird (ahead of its time because this was a mash-up of covers long before those were popular. And I can tolerate some 80's sap, sure, but doing that to Free Bird was just going too far)
2) Poison - Your Mama Don't Dance (Poison's brand of pop metal may have its detractors, but it had it's own place. But this was a quirky cover choice that got annoying real quick and ruined the flow of the whole Open Up and Say Aah! record. Always skipped it on CD.)
1) Toad the Wet Sprocket - Rock and Roll All Night (Let's take a 90's alt band and have them do a half-baked slow country-rock rendition of a KISS sing-along classic. Who thought this was a good idea?)
5 worst examples I can think of:
- Nelly Furtado covering Rush's "Time Stand Still" (I actually thought she was one of the better pop stars of the 2000s, but that cover was trash)
- Arch Enemy covering Iron Maiden's "Aces High"
- Art of Noise featuring Tom Jones covering Prince's "Kiss"
- Motley Crue covering Madonna's "Like A Virgin"
- And this last example was done live, but when Dream Theater (well, specifically James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess) covered Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" a couple years ago in tribute to Chris Cornell; god, that was so bad and LaBrie sounded horrendous
I could never understand all the love for Disturb's cover of the S&G classic "The Sound of Silence" . It feels... Cheesy, for a lack of a better word. Also, is it wrong to like Saxon's version of Ride Like the Wind? 😂
It is definitely not wrong to like Saxon's version of Ride Like The Wind. I love it big time. The band themselves like it because they still perform the song in their shows over thirty years later.
Disturbed's cover of The Sound of Silence is lame as hell. Nevermore does a way better version of it, doing something completely different.
Every song sung on MTV's MetallicA special. Avril Levine, Snoop Dogg
Wow- I find it real good
Not gonna lie, Limp Bizkit doing Sanitarium was okay 🤷🏻♂️
that snoop dogg cover was indeed sad but true
Holy shit I forgot about Avril's "Fuel". Awful. I guess Snoop's was so bad I purged it from memory. I have no recollection of him at that show at all.
@@videodead9630 agree
One that immediately comes to mind: any and all covers by Six Feet Under.
Edit: ...and it was promptly mentioned, as I kind of expected.
William Shatner “ Lucy in the sky with Diamonds “ epic epic
I heard that cover of Zombie, never knew who sang it. It was horrible. I also hate Disturbed Sounds of Silence.
Bad wolves i think.....
A ton of people have covered Zombie, especially after she passed away.
Zombie is a song i always hated. I prfer Britney over Gaga any day.
When Pete mentioned William Shatner I thought it was going to be Space Truckin'.
If he hasn't done Space Truckin, he needs to.
naw the Shats the shit. you can take out William shatner's spoken word versions of so much great stuff from the rocket man to Lucy in the Sky with diamonds and more...
Or lucy in the sky with diamonds
@@luckysevens.AltRock8 wow that's even better that one I was sometimes have out of playlist that I accept that's click on that list until and I just can't stop laughing
Come Together by Aerosmith
Johnny B. Goode by Judas Priest
Whiskey in the Jar by Metallica
I Can’t Explain by Scorpions
Bad Company by Five Finger Punch Death
I always turn off Come Together when it comes on the radio👍🏽
@@timothyorie7021 I know get tired of hearing that!
Come Together isn’t necessarily BAD, but when compared to the Beatles version, it doesn’t hold a candle. I won’t turn it off, but I’ll never choose to listen to that one over the Beatles version
@@alexandergilles8583 Has there ever been a worthy cover of a Beatles song? Maybe Extreme?
kitoyobeni1 I think for the Beatles, because almost all their songs are perfect, one needs to look at covers of them objectively. Look at the song as a song and not compare it to the Beatles version. Because yes, like you said, comparing any beatles cover to the original is a pointless exercise because the Beatles version will always be superior
"YOU LOVE THOSE ALBUMS?!" Pete's face said it all.
Love the Hudson Valley Squares!!! I can't stop laughing! Great Picks!!! you guys definitely have enough material to do several shows!
I just listened to some songs done by "Wing" and I almost died from laughing so hard.
Wing is great. Like watching a car accident. 🤣🤣🤣
Purple Haze cover by WInger......Yikes.
Miley Cyrus's cover of Zeppelin's Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, it's almost sacrilege, Sheryl Crow covering D'Yer Maker is another.
It's not a Led Zep song, they also covered it.
I can’t believe nobody’s said “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” yet! I love Great White with everything in me, but come the hell on!!
Krokus- Ballroom Blitz
Both poison AND jackyl’s versions of Cover of The Rolling Stone
Skid Row- Rats in the cellar
Megadeth- These Boots are Made for Walking
Yes!!! I forget that Megadeth Cover...Awful!!!
"Anarchy in the UK" is 100 times worse than these boots
You guys are great, this stuff is gold.
Worst..american woman-Lenny Kravits,radar love-White Lion. Best..the boys of summer-Ataris,this flight tonight-Nazareth
Omg I just listened to the Limp Bizkit Faith and it gave me stomach cramps.
A good song, but not great for me, was Bob Dylan’s “ Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”. Guns N’ Roses remake is absolutely awful! Axl Rose’s screeching causes my ears to bleed!
I feel that way when I listen to any G'N'R. I've always hated Axl's voice and his annoying dragging out of vowels.
I prefer the G'N'R version! I love that guitar solo by Slash!
I like the GnR cover, mainly because I find Dylan boring and they turned it into a rock anthem. Also I don’t mind Axl Rose’s vocal stylings. If you are a Dylan purist/cannot bear Axl, then I understand it I guess. But the original is boring and forgettable.
Brain Stormer No, actually I’m not a Dylan fan as a performer, although I think he’s written some great songs. I just find Axl Rose’s vocals on this cover a caterwauling catastrophe! But we all hear things differently, don’t we.
Bob Dylan - Knockin‘ on Heaven’s Door ****1/2
Guns N‘ Roses - Knockin‘ on Heaven’s Door *1/2
Bob Dylan‘s vocal performance on Blonde on Blonde is fantastic, by the way. When people say all Dylan covers are better than the originals they usually name All Along the Watchtower and Mr Tambourine Man as examples. It’s true for those two, but there are other Dylan covers that aren’t nearly as good as the originals, e.g. The Byrds - The Times They Are A-Changin, Adele - To Make You Feel My Love, The Rolling Stones - Like a Rolling Stone.
Motley Crue covering Smokin In The Boys Room
Quiet Riot Mama Were A Crazee Now
dan cussin just find it so disrespectful how some so gullible think that those songs I mentioned are originals and not covers.
1. The Wallflowers- Heroes (David Bowie)
2. Will to Power- Free Bird/Baby I Love Your Way Medley (Lynyrd Skynrd/Peter Frampton)
3. Poison- Your Mama Don't Dance (Loggins & Messina)
4. Motley Crue- Smokin' in the Boy's Room (Brownsville Station)
5. Metallica- Turn the Page (Bob Seger)
6. Devo- Satisfaction (The Rolliing Stones)
Metallica - Sabbra Cadabra.
I heard this version first, being born in the late 90’s. Later on I heard the original and fucking head banged to it, wondering why in the hell metallica slowed it down, and ever attempted it in the first place.
And don’t even get me started in how they attempt A National Acrobat as a bridge section. Just no.
@@ZMsoloman5000 Isn't that the truth. Sabbra Cadabra had such an hypnotic, otherworldly ambience (to my ears), with much groove as well. Probably my second fav tune from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (my fav Sabbath album.) None of that is found in the Metallica version. Heard it once, never listened to it again. Awful.
DeTeaOneNineFive Absolutely agree...the Metallica version lacks any of the swing that Bill Ward brought on the drums. Ozzy's vocals are incredible on that album!
I would love to hear them cover a Sabbath tune, but that one definitely was not in their wheelhouse
6:05 ....Purple's Roadhouse Blues was not necessary, but it sure wasn't a bad cover.
And the fact they learned and recorded it in under 30 minutes makes it pretty cool. I hear it as an encore....and a great Morse solo too.
No.
It was bad.
I figured it was recorded for one of those Cleopatra/Purple Pyramid/Dead Line “tribute” records.
The whole Under Cover album by Ozzy Osbourne. A complete atrocity.
dan cussin beyond gross!
Please! Ozzy hasn't had a good Record since The Ultimate Sin !!
@1970borntorun I totally agree! His first 4 are essential. Blizzard, diary, bark, and sin.
After that, useless.
Still a living legend!
The commentary you guys made on some of these was priceless. Loved this video! DO A PART 2!
Hilarious with some classic lines from everyone. But like being unable to look away from an accident, now I have to go listen to some of these just to see if they top my long-time list topper - the inimitable William Shatner singing (?) “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.” And, like Pete, I think he was taking this seriously. Hoping strongly for at least one more show on this topic by The Hudson Valley Squares. Thanks again to all five for the laughter and entertainment.
Rip Eddie van Halen , Just read the news.
no doubt Fred durst and limp biscuit covering behind Blue eyes
George Burns doing fixing a hole from the Beatles
Of course GWAR DOING KANSAS'S CARRY-ON WAYWARD SON
we won't even get into those Pat Boone covers first time I heard him doing Metallica I don't think I've still straightened out from the cringe
but hands down I have to MIMI
Mariah Carey's god-awful cover of Def leppard's bringing on the heartbreak
The Gwar cover is an improvement
@@jettrainbow okay you got your opinion no problem..
personally I think it's an abomination but I never was a GWAR fan
Trucker Kev The Paid Tourist Gwar’s cover was pretty awesome and funny as hell, but hey that is Gwar.
@@tackle47 yeah you know it's like people that like Bob Dylan for his singing you know you can like who you want personally I just was not a fan of gwar..
Trucker Kev The Paid Tourist fair, to each their own and Gwar is weird as hell.
Really Good Covers:
Voivod - Ultraman
Vader - I Feel You
Sodom - Iron Fist
Sacred Reich - Who Do You Want To Be
Pungent Stench - Four F Club
Horrible Covers:
Iron Maiden - Cross-eyed Mary, Juanita
Judas Priest - Johnny B. Good
Leonard Nimoy - Proud Mary
Metallica - Turn The Page
Megadeth - These Boots, No More Mr. Nice Guy
Quote of the night- "the guy is turning in his grave like a rotisserie" -Ryan Skow.
Celine Dion covering You Shook Me All Night Long
"Locker room...moron". Great humor from these guys. Great choices too.
I despise Nu Metal.... should be renamed D-Bay Rock.
Great and hilarious episode.
Love this lineup, but it would have also been interesting to see what Mr. Poppoff might come up with.
Six Feet Under - Smoke On the Water
Lenny Kravitz - American Woman
Boyz2Men - Jingle Bellz
Riot - Born to B Wyld
Dyztyrbed- Sounds of Sylence
Metallica - Mercyful Fate Medley+Blitzkrieg( if James

Nick is absolutely correct about George Michael. Dude had amazing pipes. One of my favorite singers.
Nick rules with his unprecedented insight and takes ! Love him !
I will 💯 agree with Nick. I lean more towards hard rock/ metal, however FREEDOM when George Michael was with WHAM is one of my secret guilty pleasures “! Michael / tremendous talent ! 👍💯
So early this morning I got George Michael - Careless Whisper stuck in my head. Well since I'd never properly listened to the song I only knew the Saxophone which kept repeating in my head. Came home and listened to Carless Whisper for about 2 hours straight. Now I am well aware that "Guilty feet have got no rhythm".
My vote. “Once Bitten Twice Shy by Great White. Not close to original by Ian Hunter.
Best thing about that one was the girls in that video.
Good choice. Terrible cover and terrible band
I like both versions
I agree Bob. Great White sucks. Average vocals, average musicianship!
Again very enjoyable but with a twist. Part of me heads for UA-cam and my voice of reason says STOP. I certainly don’t want to hear Wing, a graduate of the Yoko Ono School of Music, sing anything. And really man, Thou Shalt Not Cover the Classics: Born to Be Wild, American Pie, Toys in the Attic, etc. Common sense applies. You guys did get me to laugh out loud several times! And Nick you are an anomaly: a lover of Death and Black metal who has a soft spot for George Michael and the Cranberries! Hey man I still like the Carpenters. Thanks Squares!
I really enjoy Lenny Kravitz' music....but his cover of Guess Who-American Woman is sooooo terrible. It made me realize how bad that the original song actually was....but somehow didnt notice the song sucks until I heard Lenny's version.
Megadeth covering "Anarchy in the UK" is horrible and, quite frankly, beneath them. Stupid song, stupid choice for a cover, and a waste of space where an original song could have been. I think the exact same is true of their cover of "No More Mr. Nice Guy" except the original isn't as bad as the Sex Pistol original.
that Megadeth cover is exceptionally awful!
How bout These Boots?
@@bschuler6216 I like that one.
Megadeth's version is great, but the original is a great song. Motley Crue's version is fucking terrible.
Delores oriorden was in London to record vocals on zombie with that band when she died in her hotel.
This list isn't in any particular order. P. S. Wing is awesome!
1. Savatage - Day After Day (Badfinger)
2. Chastain - Barracuda (Heart)
3. Lizzy Borden - White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane)
4. Disturbed - Shout (Tears for Fears)
5. Machine Head - Message in a Bottle (The Police)
The Corrs - Old Town (originally by Phil Lynott). Just has no feeling in it.
The Cure - Hello, I Love You (originally by The Doors).
Fallout Boy - Love Will Tear Us Apart (originally by Joy Division).
Iron Maiden - Massacre (originally by Thin Lizzy).
Led Zeppelin - I Can't Quit You Baby (originally by Otis Rush).
Metallica - Whiskey in the Jar (Traditional Irish song).
Six Feet Under - Purple Haze (originally by Jimi Hendrix).
Slayer - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (originally by Iron Butterfly). Church of Misery's cover was better.
Weezer "Africa" there was no need for that song, it is exactly the same as the original.
What about a show with covers better than the original??
A few tips: Nazareth's "Love Hurts"..."This Flight Tonight"...
Zachary1966 No way is their version better than Joni‘s sublime original version on her masterpiece Blue.
👍🏽@@beetlebum7760 Good on ya...but I think differently 👍🏽
Zachary1966 And that’s totally fine. ✌️ After all, we all hear things differently.
Jeff Buckley- Hallelujah
All covers Miley Cyrus made: Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd), Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (Led Zeppelin), Rebel Yell (Billy Idol) a.s.o.
R.I.P. Eddie Van Halens - You really got me was one of the best cover.
There was a Doors tribute album with Train doing an awful cover of Light My Fire. I hear they covered all of Led Zeppelin II as well, I can't bring myself to listen to that.
Amorphis did a great Light My Fire cover early in their career.
Ozzy Osbourne covering In My Life. It doesn't so that amazing Beatles song by John Lennon from Rubber Soul any justice. He butchers it, sounds like it is riddled with autotune, one of the best Beatles songs, just doesn't do it any justice sorry if people disagree with me
The entire "In A Metal Mood" album by Pat Boone- what the hell? BTW, one of my favourite covers ever is Devo's version of "Satisfaction"- definitely made it interesting and unique.
The worst part about the Nickelback cover of “Saturday night” is the opening to Hockey night in Canada. So we had to listen to it at the beginning of every Leafs game.
Just listened to Back in Black by Wing. Well, as much of it as I could anyway… Made my day Pete. I just sent it to my 2 sons and I imagine they're cracking up right about now. What's next, Yoko Ono doing Crazy Train?
Thanks guys. Those Wing covers are dreadful.
Guns n Roses “Live and Let Die” and “Knocking on Heavens Door.” Gag me with a spoon. Hard pass.
Their version of Knockin on heavens door is completely at odds with the meaning of the song and not in a good way.
Bingo! I'd forgotten about KoHD. Good call, that is beyond terrible.
Like em both
I hate the GnR cover of “Live and Let Die”. Nothing can beat the Wings/McCartney original. But I love their cover of “Knockin On Heaven’s Door”. I don’t think its sacrilege at all in terms of the meaning. They made a rock anthem out of a typically boring Dylan original. But feel free to disagree.
Brain Stormer completely disagree. Axl can’t sing, beyond over rated. Just absolutely gross. Boo boo mr umpire I strongly disagree!
Ozzy/Miss 🐷 Piggy - Born To Be Wild
Will To Power - Freebird/Baby I Love Your Way medley
* Maybe not rock but I always hated
Psuedo Echo - Funkytown
Club Nouveau - Lean On Me
Don't know who covers these but I've heard awful versions of "Boys Of Summer", "Glory Of Love" (Peter Cetera)
Metallica - "Whiskey In The Jar" I could never stand (they aren't Irish either)
* I never liked when American bands like Motley Crue and Megadeth covered "Anarchy In The U.K."
Winger - Purple Haze
"Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)" - David Bowie
I heard that Will to Power freebird last year and i lost it .. ick
Chris: What you described is called acapella. It's not my cup of tea, but this kind of music is very popular. Van Canto seems to be very big in Europe from what I see. The Manowar cover is interesting. Does not replace the original for sure.
ZZ Top - Viva Las Vegas
Rolling Stones - Like A Rolling Stone
Warren Zevon - Raspberry Beret
Metallica - Turn the Page
Van Halen - Pretty Woman
Lucinda Williams - Long Way to the Top if You Wanna Rock n Roll
Twisted Sister- Leader of the Pack = PATHETIC!!!!
Judas Preist - Johnny B. Good = Cringe!!!
Is your avatar a reference to Rush’s Geddy Lee?
@@analogkid2869 The Name is Homage to Geddy Lee. The Picture is El Duce from the Mentors
Respectfully disagree, "Turn the Page" by Metallica is a solid cover, but I don't have to hear it ever again!
I LOVE Metallica's version of Turn The Page!
@@metalmelodies6718 I agree with you. I love that cover too. I love most of the covers they did on the Garage Inc. album. Metallica still sounded like Metallica back then.
Guns n roses live and let die
Agreed
Knockin' on heaven's door for me. I might be in the minority for liking the original a lot.
Bad,but sympathy for the devil was even worse
The lead actress on Johnny B. Goode was Uma Thurman. I believe K.K. (or Glenn?) hated the cover as well. It was done because of the pressure by the record company.
Shit, another one I forgot about. This British late '90s girl group All Saints absolutely butchered "Under the Bridge" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers!
I was disturbed when I heard the Disturbed version of Simon and Garfunkels Sounds of Silence
Before I start the video, I'm gonna unashamedly state that I love both Dio AND Killswitch's versions of Holy Diver. Fight me.
Thank you guys for your RANT: Bad Cover Versions of Great Songs.🎤🎸🎵🥁
Metallica has covered a few Budgie songs. Their cover of Breadfan was fine, but their cover of Crash Course in Brain Surgery is atrocious.
The "tomatometer" of Johnny Be Good on Rotten Tomatoes is 0%.
Its certainly not a great movie, but I don't think its that bad...nor thr cover. At least Priest changed it up a bit.
I agree, I've always loved their version and don't understand the hatred for it at all.
@@mestersen It's strange. People will argue that it's not like the original, then complain when artists follow the original too closely. It has some of that guitar synth sound, so it's a period of Priest that many fans don't like anyway. It's an easy target.
Judas Priest - Johnny B. Goode. What the hell was that song even doing on Ram it Down????
My first thought too!
Heath Lawrence “Green Manalshi” is a pretty terrible cover too as is “Diamonds and Rust”.
@ssp I’m with you! I’m not a fan of Joan Baez but that cover of Diamonds and Rust was just plain awful! However, I am a fan of early Fleetwood Mac and while they certainly didn’t do Green Manalishi justice, I didn’t think it was as bad
Beanchowder I like Joan’s original version, the song is about her and Dylan’s relationship, but I’m a big Dylan fan, I know Pete isn’t.
@@sspbrazil Better By You, Better Than Me
I have just searched for wing’s cover of “back in black “ utter genius and appalling at the same time brilliantly awful well worth a listen.
+1 for that awful cover of Bad Company, FFDP are possibly the worst band on Earth
Clutch does a pretty bad version of "Money" by Pink Floyd. The guitar effects sound like ass.
Acid King does BTO's "Not Fragile" ...no thank you
Yeah, and I love Acid King otherwise!
@@gwts1171 yeah they are great
Puffy DiDDY Daddy = Jimmy Page = Kasmir!!!! How Do You Ruin Your Own Song?????
@SpaghettiLee - nice call. How to ruin a classic, Is your name a reference to Rush’s Geddy Lee?
LMFAO!!! I'm f***ing DEAD☠️☠️☠️
@@analogkid2869 Yes C. Kay..it is A reference to Geddy Lee
Spaghetti Lee Do you like Rush or are you goofing on Geddy Lee?
How the hell did Puff Daddy convince Jimmy Page to let him use Kashmir! Ultimate cringe! I honestly don't know what's worse, "Anarchy in the UK" by Megadeth or P Diddy pooping all over "Kashmir"
I like the Killswitch Engage cover of Holy Diver. Sorry!! loll
And i'm a huge Marilyn Manson fan so i fucking love his cover of Sweet Dreams and i like Eurythmics. lol
Megadeth "Anarchy In The UK" - Dave doesn't even get the lyrics right. Two of the same song - U2 and Motley Crue both covered "Helter Skelter: by the Beatles. I agree about the Limp Bizquick version of "Faith". Metallica "Whiskey In The Jar". Also, everything on the Queensryche or Ozzy covers albums. Now we need a "Best Covers" show, guys!
Gotta agree with Megadeth's 'Anarchy In The UK'. Does Mustaine even know what an anarchist actually is?
