Worst Cover(s)?

[Edgecrusher]

There are some covers that transcend the originals in terms of sound and style, though. For instance, Nevermore covered Simon and Garfunkel's amazing "The Sound of Silence" and turned it into a basic masterpiece and a great example of how a cover song should be done.

Absolutely.

Both the original and Nevermore's verson are great.

I haven't really heard any I didn't like, but one that I really like is Children of Bodom's cover of Don't Stop At the Top.

Vomitron - Ghostbusters... Funny as hell

 

[Barking Pumpkin]

Ahh...yes, Nevermore's cover of "The Sound Of Silence." Is amazing, I love their vocalist. Once I heard Absu's cover of "Silvester Anfang/Deathcrush." I forgot how good the song part was, but I'm pretty sure Prosciptor actually played the drum intro as opposed to the recording Mayhem uses. I'm not a drummer, but it was pretty amazing.

Avril Lavegne's Chop Suey is so bad it's pure comedy.uke:

ANY Six Feet Under cover.

Any of the various butcherings that went on at that MTV Icon show for Metallica.

 

[The Wanderer]

Emperor's cover of Mercyful Fate's "Gypsy" anyone?

that cover rules, what are you talking about?

The SFU covers are pretty bad. those are probably the worst i've heard. I downloaded the mp3 of rock and roll aint noise pollution and about died laughing at the patheticness of the whole thing. then i sobered up and realized it was just sad.

I loved the cover. It gives a much darker feeling to the song and, in my opinion, the music brings out the general mood of the lyrics better than the original. Though the original is a damn fine song.

Dark Tranquillity - My friend of misery. I love Dt, but this is such a shit! No imagination absolutely.
