Best/Worst Remakes/Covers (1 Viewer)

golden years is a 70's song, not 80's.

Yea, but in terms of Marylin Manson covers it's kind of in the same vein as Tainted Love and Sweet Dreams, so I just mentioned them all together.

no kidding. they were one of my favourite bands for years, and i pretty much didn't even consider going to their show earlier this year/later last year/whenever the fuck it was, because i knew it would just suck and make me sad.

yeh i went to their concert, it did suck.
Although i wasn't exactly a fan, I knew 2 songs, I just went coz I felt like a concert.
But the lead singer wore this lame white costume and jumped around like a fag the whole time, plus all their songs sounded exactly the same.


As for covers, Marilyn Manson has done some pretty decent ones. HIM have some good ones too.
Bad ones? the dresden dolls. I like their original stuff, their covers suck.

Bad: Scissor Sister's cover of Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out.

i actually really liked that. i thought the cabaret-feel of their version really spiced the song up.

Yeah I did think that? Whats your point? I obviously don't know everything about music like you do. I don't really care for either NIN or Johnny Cash, or you for that matter.

Hate to act like a dumb blonde, but isn't Johnny Cash a country singer?

Whats that got to do with what I just said?

bad- scissor sisters absolutely destroying comfortably numb
good- the living ends version of tainted love. and 10:15 saturday night was pretty good too.

Bad: Scissor Sister's cover of Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out..

I love that song

But speaking of Franz Ferdinand, their cover of Sexy Boy (by Air) was an abomination.

He did something with NIN. That's why I care. Lol.

And I like A Perfect Circle's cover of Imagine by John Lennon.

reel big fish- take on me

people like that are pretty much why i didn't want to go see afi

why? coz I'm not a totally hardcore fan like you?

Davey Havok, you mean?
People speculate whether he's gay or not. I personally think that he's bi, but it doesn't matter. Hey, look what happened to Elton John and Darren Hayes, both formerly bi's, now gay.

to be honest, I don't really care if he's gay or not. When I say 'fag' i mean it in a non-homosexual sense.

I liked When The Levee Breaks, well, that's more of jazzy cover of it also Peace Love and Understanding.

I think Maynard's always been one for covers.
