Whoever did Sweet Child of Mine a couple years ago. Yeah, Ozzy doing Mississippi Queen was bad for sure. Not that the original was great, but Limp Bizkit doing Faith really sucked. Korn's new cover of Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall really really sucks too.

I really don't like "Inna Gadda Da Vida" covered by Slayer. It bugs the piss out of me.

 

 

and EEEWWW to thinking of U2 covering CCR...

Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit covering The Who.

 

 

+1000 That's what first popped into my head when I saw this. It made me sick when I saw the music video, and I'm not even a fan of The Who.

Tori Amos covering 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'

Some hair band (don't remember who) covering 'The Real Me'

 

Cobain and Entwistle (RIP) are spinning in their graves.

:(:cry::bor:

 

Layla is not Cream's! Derek and the Dominos! E.C. and Dwayne Allman on guitars. Good stuff. But, you're right, the accoustic version sucks. Though, I don't think he had much choice - it's from the MTV unplugged concert.

Sorry, you're right, Duane was on guitar. That's what's really missing, I think is that screaming guitar and those killer vocals. I would have been thrown out of the MTV studios for booing if I'd been there. Yuk.

 

Agree earlier with earlier songs, and let's add another horrible mistake: Celine Dionne (sp?) - You Shook me All Night Long! What a farce.

I actually really like that version. I think it's a lot better than the original. Of course I think any pink floyd after Syd Barret is poop

I totally agree. The first time I heard it I laughed...hard. The solo section is a riot. It has absolutely no feel. It's kinda like the guitarist is trying to sight read it out of a Guitar World and when it gets too difficult that's when the "improvising" starts. heheh.

It's like me when I'm trying to play YYZ... Um... that's good enough. Hey, I don't let anyone else hear it yet though. :^)
