Bands Need To Quit Doing Crappy Covers!
OK sometimes covers or remakes are cool like when Disturbed did “Shout”, the Tears For Fears classic.
Why was this one cool?
Because they took a song and made it their own - they totally changed it - and revamped it - and to boot picked a song totally out of their genre you’d never expect from a hard rock/metal band and somehow made Tears for Fears totally rock in a new and unique way.
Even though Tears For Fears they already did rock in their own way. Yeah I’ll admit it - I dug Tears For Fears back in the day. They always made me sow the seeds of love.
Distrurbed also did a decent job covering Genesis’ “Land Of Confusion” - once again taking a song out of genre and roughing it up quite a bit again making it their own. The original video for that song always creeped me out!
But I digress.
Bands have used the formula of covering a classic song for years to attempt to get a quick & dirty easy hit.
Is it me or has it gotten out of hand lately?
Case and point - the latest TOTAL piece of crap - Hinder covering “Born To Be Wild”.
I cannot embed it here because Universal disables it on YouTube for all their videos.
Hinder? Born To Be Wild? Heavy metal thunder? Hardly.
This band killed the airwaves with their crappy ballad months ago and now this. Wow.
Someone make it stop.
But it gets better.
There is a version of the video for Nascar! No shit!
Check that out here
(just being consistent and linking instead of embedding this one!)
I know you saw that coming. Cha-ching! Instant money maker.
Here is why this remake totally sucks: It offers absolutely NOTHING new whatsoever. The song is not reworked, revamped, changed or modified in any way. The arrangement is the same, just sound newer since it is a new recording. It is trecherous ground to be covering classic songs as it is. Kinda like the unnecessary movie remakes over the last several years.
After you watch these horrific videos of Hinder killing “Born To Be Wild” go cleanse your soul and watch the original for some real heavy metal thunder:
Steppenwolf’s “Born To Be Wild”
I heard the new Godsmack tune on the radio the other day covering Led Zeppelin’s “Good Times Bad Times” - another one for the “DEAR GOD WHY?????” files. Yup. Another total piece of crap that offers absolutely nothing origial or new in their version other than to supply something to help sell their upcoming ‘Greatest Hits’ collection. Apparently it is working as radio stations are biting on this one hook, line, and sinker.
Listen To It Here - Yikes.
Hey I have an idea! Someone should remake ‘Psycho’ and ‘Halloween’!!!!!

I don’t think Hinder murder Stepphen wolf. Cause it’s really sounds like an 80’s remake. I’m sure some artist makes crappy remakes like Marylin Mansion’s remake of sweet dream. That was a crappy remake. But some can do it good. Just look at Korn they did the remake of Another Brick from the Wall and a perfect circle did a remake of Imagine. Yes I like Hinder and all, but I’m just saying not all remakes sucks.
November 15th, 2007 at 12:39am
see Joe Cocker.
November 15th, 2007 at 3:41am
The problem is not with the bands doing the covers, is with the people being so musically challenged that they do not even know it is a cover!
As long as people will never listen to originals, they will still allow for crappy covers to be made.
Funny thing is that I started listening to originals after I got “the spaghetti incident?” from guns n’ roses, where it was written “Do yourself a favor, listen to the original songs”.
November 15th, 2007 at 4:33am
ill agree with u on the hinder and disturbed bit but cmon that godsmack song is awsum.
November 15th, 2007 at 5:08am
I dunno about Disturbed. I mean they’re technically proficient and everything, but I haven’t quite forgiven them for their Holy Diver remake.
November 15th, 2007 at 5:18am
The new thing now is not to do a cover, but to take a successful song and to remix it in to your song. Sometimes the song isn’t very old, and can be from 2-3 years prior. Look at the amount of artists using Daft Punk songs, or the endless stream of pop and rap songs that just pump out re-mixes.
November 15th, 2007 at 8:56am
Perhaps it’s not the bands but instead your taste of music. They sound good, could be your writing skills could use some work. Whine about something else if you must.
November 15th, 2007 at 11:13am
Totally complete agreement with the Godsmack remake. I’ve heard this one a few times on the radio, and it’s basically an exact remake of Zep’s version with no changes to it of any kind whatsoever. Really, really lame.
What’s worse, it’s actually annoying because when I hear the intro chords, I naturally crank the radio, only to be disappointed when I hear the voice of Sully Erna instead of the sweet voice of Robert Plant. Erna is no Plant. Doesn’t even compare.
I got nothing against Zep remakes or remakes in general. But remaking a song *exactly* the same is uber-lame. We’ve heard this song already. If you’re going to sing it too, mix it up a bit, be creative. Remaking it exactly the same make it suck. And Godsmack has really sucked it up on this one.
November 15th, 2007 at 11:31am
Yes, there are MANY terrible covers. It is 1/10,000 odds on the cover being better than the original. Most don’t even add anything to the original. However, this has been going on for too long to be a new trend. Just look at “Summertime Blues”
November 15th, 2007 at 11:56am
What about the bands that do covers that are better than the originals, or remapped into an entirely new school of music (Joy Division, Patty Smith, The Damned, Paul Oakenfold, the London Symphony covering Led Zeppelin) are a few that come to mind), or that do covers by lesser known bands to help make the original better known? Not all covers are just cheap and emotionless re-creations… .
November 15th, 2007 at 1:29pm
Blame the fucking Goo Goo Dolls and Sheryl Crow for making this shitpile of poorly executed cover music even allowable and digestible to the american public. its a fucking travesty. Hinder is awful, Geen Day isn’t punk and no one should cover Zeppelin on a whim (Encomium was allowed and should never be spoken of again).
Your exactly right - it is looked at as an easy way to cash in on a top ten hit - assuming the youth today even knows it isn’t an original composition - they are so stuffed full of bullshit mtv and vh1 pop rock its pathetic.
Do yourself a favor and pick up the Derek and the Dominos or The Band, or hell - buy the first Led Zeppelin album. This is when music was simply amazing. *Note that several of the songs on the first LZ album were blues covers - Page was notorious for ripping off his favorite blues artists. He did it well though.
November 15th, 2007 at 1:49pm
Agree with the author. Just thought I’d add that Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” has created a great lineage of revisits. Some of my fav’s:
Jimi Hendrix
Dave Mason
Dave Matthews Band

November 15th, 2007 at 1:53pm
All covers mentioned by you are horrible, the only decent cover as of late is Killswitch Engage’s Holy Diver. The other ones, horrible, of course what do you expect from bands that have no musical talent.
November 15th, 2007 at 3:00pm
I think there are many terrible covers out there, but a lot of this is just personal interpretation too.
November 15th, 2007 at 3:15pm
i dig the Godsmack cover, i really do, but what the hell was with the singer of Hinder, is he trying to do the whole Aerosmith/Stone Temple Pilots thing!? its not working terrible..
i agree with kiro 100%, but i Otto i dont know if you’re like retarded in the drum section. bonzo only used one bass pedal.. Shannon threw what he felt necessary into the mix to make it feel more “Godsmack”
and of course i think you missed a very important cover on here..
Killswitch’s version of “Holy Diver”
..AMAZING, check it out.
Covers are fun but i don’t think they should be on the radio. keep it for the concerts man.
November 15th, 2007 at 4:19pm
Wow, big surprise. A bunch of unoriginal pop-metal cock-rock bands recording songs tailor made for their Clear Channel Radio audience. These guys are in business to sell records and get airplay and they know how to do it. Get over it. None of these bands is in the least bit original. They are just more of the same wall of sound, dynamic range compressed, teen angst rock with lyrics that sound like they came from some 10th grader’s diary.
November 15th, 2007 at 4:32pm
I don’t think Hinder could screw that cover up anymore if they tried. That was a complete piece of garbage. And Godsmack isn’t meant to play that particular song. I could see them trying to cover Kashmir, maybe, but not that. But there are a lot of truly great covers for songs, and usually bands start out perfecting covers of other people’s music before writing, producing and perfecting their own. Artists should have not only the right but the duty to remind people of how awesome those songs were to them when they grew up. It’s a hit-or-miss game with covers, but there are good ones out there, too. Nightwish has done a few opera covers that are not only truly amazing, but have expanded metal, and music, for that fact, into new grounds, new territories that it wouldn’t have otherwise crossed into as successfully. If you’re gonna try to shoot down every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants to cover something, music will stop growing at the geometric rate it has been for the past hundred years.
November 15th, 2007 at 4:37pm
dont be surprised by radio stations playing crap — it’s their job. google “sony payola”
November 15th, 2007 at 4:46pm
you forgot Slayer’s cover of ‘born to be wild.’ I love slayer but that sucked. Look up the video on youtube.
and you forgot the worst one of all…the Showdown’s cover of “Carry on My Wayward Son”. Good god.
November 15th, 2007 at 5:14pm
If you make crap ass music like Godsmack you should never be allowed to cover a Zep song, ever. End of story. You have to have some respect for rock music and where it comes from and I don’t think Godsmack do at all. Most of their songs sound such the same, unlike Led Zeppelin who pretty much laid out the template for modern hard rock.
November 15th, 2007 at 7:48pm
But that will be hard. You can’t tell bands to let other artist to do remakes of there songs, cause they have a chocie. And 2nd they mite be owned by the same recored company. And Green Day is more of a Pop punk other than punk.
November 15th, 2007 at 7:55pm
wow. not only are these crappy covers but crappy bands.
who cares what sellout shitrock like hinder and all those other radio bands produce anyways.
it’s funny how you notice that they are only doing the covers to make an instant hit…but failed to notice the reason they are a “band” is the exact same. and the reason they can get away with it is because of people like you who don’t know jack about music and who cling on to whatever is playing on the radio.
nice. but if you like it, then great, save the bands with balls for me.
November 16th, 2007 at 2:11am
you are all hacks. learn a thing or two about music before you slander it…
November 17th, 2007 at 2:17am
… then you have the other side of the scale, re: Nevermore’s interpretation of Sounds of Silence (Simon & Garfunkle) which kicks ass.
What do you do about the wierd instances such as Prince covering Sinead with “Nothing compares to you”. Horrible cover, but he originally wrote the song and sold it to her. Maybe that’s a little off the intent of the topic…
November 17th, 2007 at 3:01am
I honestly think the big slam of doing cover songs took over when Limp Bizkit did George Michael’s Faith. I remember after that it was like every other month a new cover was coming out. Now its totally out of control. In my opinion, I only like to listen to a cover song when its added to a set list at a show or something. It kinda pisses me off that all of these new, good bands are not that creative enough to come up with something new and because some other bands are doing it, then they have to make one too. Kinda like monkey see, monkey do. Now I do have to stress my opinion on the best ever cover song, and that is, In a gadda da vida by SLAYER. Original was done by Iron Butterfly. Very hard song to find, was on the Less than Zero soundtrack. Both versions kick major ass! Check it out.
November 17th, 2007 at 10:08am
the huge problem is that some venues don’t allow younger bands to play if they don’t do covers (see the swindonian scene for example).
most of the times producers themselves are afraid of risking by taking original bands on and stick to clones and clones of other “tested” bands and artists.
it’s easy to say “don’t do covers”, we don’t enjoy them either, unless that’s a one-off and personalysed, but it has to be the exception and not necessary.
creativity must be encouraged, but this is up to the medias/producers/ venues etc, not to the artists.
having the choice, artists (and not performers, sessions etc) will always go for their own stuff
November 17th, 2007 at 2:07pm
i heard this band Sonata Arctica and they covered Fade to Black and there was absolutely NOTHING different about it…practically sounded like the original. they’re a pretty good band though otherwise.
Cradle of Filth does some pretty good covers. They covered a couple songs by Slayer…Hell Awaits and Angel of Death. then they covered Hallowed be Thy Name by Iron Maiden. also, No Time to Cry by Sisters of Mercy. the only cover that i didn’t care for too much was Mr.Crowley…but it was still alright.
November 17th, 2007 at 10:07pm
covers have been done forever it’s not new and it will never go away.
hendrix beatles who stones zeppelin sabbath all did covers.
van halen guns n roses metallica all did covers
bow wow wow soft cell natalie imbrugila biggest hits were covers.
so if you like it you like it if not who cares move on.
November 17th, 2007 at 10:26pm
yeah what’s with all these covers?
good covers:
NIN cover of Joy Divisons Dead Souls
Pantera cover of Black Sabbath’s Planet Caravan
Sepultura cover Sabbath’s Symptom of the Universe
White Zombie cover Sabbath’s Children of the Grave
Type O Negative cover Sabbath’s Black Sabbath
Faith No More cover Sabbath’s War Pigs
Type O Negative cover Doors Light my Fire
Type O Negative cover Seals & Crofts Summer Breeze
Type O Negative cover Neil Diamonds Cinnamon Girl
Type O Negative cover Black Sabbaths Paranoid
Megadeth cover Black Sabbaths Paranoid
Megadeth cover Sex Pistols Anarchy In The Uk
STP cover Led Zeppelins Dancing Days
Layne Staley cover Floyds Brick In The Wall
GNRs cover Wings Live and Let Die
Alien Ant Farm cover Michael J’s Smooth Criminal
Megadeth cover Nancy Sinatra’s Boots
AFI cover Misifit’s Halloween
bad covers:
Killswitch Engage cover Dio’s Holy Diver…sounds too much like original to me, i hate it
Avenged Sevenfold cover Walk by Pantera…that song is untouchable…those bastards didn’t get creative at all, they just tried to out-do Pantera by using more modern recording equipment, and they failed.
November 17th, 2007 at 10:29pm
oh and I also believe that it was Trivium who did that cover of Master of Puppets, another song that to me is immortal and shouldn’t be touched by other artists
November 18th, 2007 at 2:02am
Basically I think that you will see more and more bands doing covers in todays file sharing society. When a lot of bands are being played on radio and internet radio these are proven songs that they tend to pick up for market value that have been tested on radio before.
Again another advantage to this is for the sake of file sharers as they dont really loose on any royalities in having them downloaded on podcasting sites etc. Why would they need to worry it is not their song and the original artist gets credit for the first song. It actually can push the original artist to sell more copies.
Remember back in the day of Van Halen You Really Got Me, Pretty Woman etc on their albums well Covers were done then and they will still be done today…
Although it is a nice thought that most bands can write and play but we all do live in this world where their is talent and where there is not.
November 18th, 2007 at 4:12am
You should have seen some of my Old Pics on my Album Covers looking like a 2 yr old trying to learn how to write or draw in scribbles. Now, that was a huge mistake. I don’t mind some of the Gore that some Bands have made on their Album
Covers. What I do laugh about is when I see a Heavy Metal Band that make themselves look like Donny and Marie Osmond…”NOW THAT’S A LAUGH”!!!
ANYHOW RICHIEDUDE YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!
Sincerely, Terry from MySpace.com and t_rcr@yahoo.com…The Memory Of My Band… “THE DEADSEA’S”, (1986-1994).
“MUSIC IS FOR LIFE”!!!
((PEACE AND UNITY)))
November 18th, 2007 at 4:34am
I CONCUR, I LOVE MINISTRY’S COVER OF ROADHOUSE BLUES AND WHEN A BAND TAKES A COOL OLDER SONG OR SOMETHING TOTALLY OUT OF ITS GENRE IT’S COOL TO SEE THEM REDO IT.
I LOVED THE FIRST VERSION OF CARS DONE BY FEAR FACTORY UNTIL THE LABEL TONED DOWN THE GUITARS AND MADE IT SOUND ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL EVEN HAVING GARY NUMEN DO VOCALS ON IT.
WHY REDO SOMETHING IF IT’S NOT GONNA MAKE IT DIFFERENT?
NOW MY WIFE ON THE OTHER HAND HATES WHEN BANDS REDO OTHER PEOPLES SONGS AND DO NOT MAKE THEM EXACT.
I LIKE TO FUCK UP OTHER PEOPLES SONGS IT MAKES IT FUN!
November 18th, 2007 at 4:36am
TERRY UMMM I THINK YOU GOT IT WRONG HE WASN’T Taling about making album covers but remaking songs from other bands
lol

November 18th, 2007 at 9:22am
All us who perform beg, borrow or steal from the past…in the most sophisticated orchestra circles, the more note for note the better.
Music is subjective,and I tend toward preferring those who do mostly their own, but dang, let’s just Rock and let Rock, can you dig it?
November 18th, 2007 at 9:25am
I’ve always had this thought in my head: “What if System of a Down did a cover of Culture Club’s Karma Chamelion” Wrap your mind around that one. It would definately sound better than Limpbizkit’s only hit, “Faith”, origionally done by George Michael.
November 18th, 2007 at 11:47am
Hinder’s version of Born To Be Wild is ok.
But Marilyn Manson’s versions of Highway To Hell and Suicide Is Painless (The theme from M*A*S*H) suck.
November 18th, 2007 at 2:17pm
I agree that there are a whole lot of crappy, pointless covers out there… I’ll still give a listen to anything the Electric Hellfire Club covers tho, at least they put their own spin on it. check out their take on “Sympathy for the devil” or NIN’s “Heresy”
November 18th, 2007 at 5:05pm
everyone here is retarded, its fun to cover songs, no matter how poorly done they are. i hate all the formentioned bands. personaly i think all those bands give metal a bad name. but, im sure they have fun covering the songs.
November 18th, 2007 at 8:04pm
Music of any style is borrowed to some degree or outright stolen whether covered or otherwise. That’s just the nature of things and how art/music will evolve (or regress in this case!)I know when I do a cover I instantly evaluate whether or not it works- a.k.a.- Do I love the song? Does it sound good? Am I doing the song justice? etc. What we have here are horrible bands with dollar signs in their eyes doing stale and over done songs who probably have someone else telling them what songs to play in the 1st place so of course they suck. These bands couldn’t make the best of the classics sound good if their lives depended on it. I only commented because I put a lot of integrity into any music I perform & am furthermoe tired of hearing about bands like this who obviously don’t.
November 18th, 2007 at 8:35pm
ok all the music critics out there are totally missing the point. none of these bands need to do a cover to sell records. they are all pretty well established bands with a great fan base so i doubt they went into the studio DUDE we need to cover a classic rock song to get people to buy our cd. come on that sounds retarded. dont you think just mabey that these bands are covering these songs to honor and respect bands that have influenced them musically. i know when i try to learn a song its because i like that band and that song not because i wanna get a bunch of people to like me. i was at a godsmack concert recently and they went into a rendition of the pantera song “walk” and amazingly everyone was into it and singing along and i didnt hear booos and people saying OMG how can they cover that godly band. what is the big deal honestly, if you dont like it dont listen to it, quit making a big bitch blog about how bad you think covers are to the music industry. and you know what, mabey just mabey these covers introduce fans that mabey have not heard the original versions to classic bands that they may have not thought about til their favorite band just happened to do a cover song. i see absolutly nothing wrong with covers even if they suck. and by the way beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

November 30th, 2007 at 1:42pm
that is awefull
November 30th, 2007 at 2:31pm
WHO GIVES A FUCK??!! i mean, covering songs is not in any way a new trend. it has been being done since man first started writing songs. the problem is that people are making money doing bullshit covers. thats because all the bands you mentioned doing these covers are corporate bands. Godsmack, Hinder, Disturbed…they are all corporate sellout disposeable bands. do yourselves a favor and move your musical direction to the underground. these are the bands that really matter. bands that play purely for the love of what they play. you will never hear a Jungle Rot song on the radio, because they are too extreme for the weak-eared masses. they know that. but they will not change their formula for money. they play for the love of it all. FUCK CORPORATE RADIO BULLSHIT!!!!
November 30th, 2007 at 3:49pm
I have to disagree that these are crappy covers. So what if they didn’t “make them their own”….the point of a COVER is to be true to the original, which I feel both Hinder and Godsmack did a very good job of. They are NOT the original artists and therefore are not going to sound EXACTLY like the original, and that is normal. When a band “makes it their own” the song, instead of a cover, becomes a remake in my opinion. My hat goes off to both Hinder and Godsmack for covering these songs at this level with their own talent, sound, and voices while staying true to the feel of the originals.
I may take flak for my response here, but that’s OK. I can only say that I’m not narrow minded when it comes to music and I can listen to and like anything between classical and death metal. People who do not like a band like Hinder because the genre is not within their personal taste should refrain from listening to or commenting about something they are obviously biased against.
December 2nd, 2007 at 10:46am
the cover thing has got to stop. there is enough new undiscovered music that kicks ass out there to not have to listen to someone elses rehashed bullshit. it’s f’n 2007 and high time to change the views of the consumer. everyone wants to blame radio and record companies for whats on the radio but sadly that is decided by sales and if a specific song sold in the past well you get the idea. what i cant stand is that original music bands have a real hard time getting support from clubs or radio and that sucks. why do cover bands make more from a bar show than an original band that plays some covers. it’s obvious who actually works harder and cares more?
December 5th, 2007 at 4:50pm
first of all Hinder sucks ass any way and are a bunch of wanna be rockers . what about when the ex singer of nightwish did covers of both alice cooper’s posion and Nirvana’s smells like teen spirit or when the dixie chicks did the cover of steve nick’s or acutally fleetwood mac’s song “landslide” these women totally ruined these songs for me.
December 6th, 2007 at 6:01pm
ok two points
1)hinder just utterly sucks ass and should never have made it big with all that sappy shit…
December 6th, 2007 at 6:02pm
and…
2) unless your led zeppelin…dont do their songs…
December 7th, 2007 at 10:23am
They all suck phallus. None of these bands, including Disturbed knows shit about real metal.
December 7th, 2007 at 3:28pm
Ok I just saw someone say something about Disturbed and “Holy Diver”, correct me if I’m wrong but that was Killswitch Engage was’nt it??? Get your shit right if you’re gonna flame on a message board, I don’t like Dio, or KE but I know the facts…I think.
December 8th, 2007 at 3:09pm
Haha. Okay, I’ll tell you what, This is so damn right on the mark, I simply have nothing to add?!
We were discussing this exact topic at work this week. Meanwhile, our shop radio was playin that Godsmack cover and we all HATED it!
December 9th, 2007 at 11:38pm
JUST HAD TO SAY THIS ABOUT COMMENT #5…… WRONG!
IT WAS NOT DISTURBED THAT COVERED “HOLY DIVER”. IT WAS KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AND YES, ITS FUCKIN SHITTY! THE ORIGINAL WAS SHIT BY ITS SELF. STOP THE GODDAMN 80′S COVERS ALREADY! AND JUST MAKE UR OWN FUCKIN NOISE!
December 10th, 2007 at 4:26am
i hated the 80s and all the covers but one all fuckin suck my asshole. the only good cover is god smacks remake of led zeppelins- good times bad times, the reason is because they tried to keep it origianal and not ruin it by giving it their own sound. i dont personaly think any other radio bands sound cover any zeppelin songs, but god smack did ok.
December 11th, 2007 at 8:51am
Hinder? SUCKS!!! Godsmack? Good band, not so good version of a classic. Disturbed? Both songs redone well. memo to new bands out there: If you do a cover tune, do it somewhat differently than the original, or don’t do it.
December 12th, 2007 at 1:40pm
As far as covers are concerned, Isn’t everyone tired of the repetitive play lists that the radio has deluged us with? I am sick of hearing the same thing over and over! Even our conversations about it are somewhat redundant. The “rock” cats of the 70s were doing old blues, and on and on. Now some of us that grew up listening to the great 70s rockers want to see something new come. If I want to hear Led Zepplin tunes; I could turn to three station right now and guarantee that within a couple of songs one would be played. WHY DO I HAVE TO HEAR SOME HACK PLAY IT? OK, now your a talented band, you’ve made some money making something up. They gave you an advance to make more…. WTF is the problem now? I am a stage technician and I hear and see all the tours out. I have to have a straight face for my clients. But when I hear band’s like “Stained” (doing a HACKED rendition of a small part of the “Wall”) or any of the above mentioned bands, I always CRINDGE!!! Don’t get me wrong…some bands that do covers CAN do great with them. As far as I am concerned, lately the Exec’s have nothing better to offer than music they already own. Why do you think the new thing is not to get signed, but to do it yourself. The one that the suits can control are the ones that OWE. LACK OF CREATIVITY, to put it in THREE WORDS. I concur with the Author….STOP IT NOW!!!
December 13th, 2007 at 2:35pm
panteras cover of ted nugents cat scratch fever. fuckin awesome
December 15th, 2007 at 7:39am
I fucking hate Hinder anyway I’m a little more intenst then that but yeah I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU ON ALL OF THEM. Disturbeds songs were awesome. I don’t really like land of confusion but they did a good job covering it cause like you said they made it into there own music and style. But SHOUT on the other hand FUCKING AMAZING I love that song by Disturbed and of course Disturbed is my favorite band. So talk to all you awesome motherfuckers later PEACE
December 15th, 2007 at 7:43am
HAHA COMMENT #5 said Disturbed remade Holy Diver HAHA that’s fucking awesome they must really love rock/metal music
December 15th, 2007 at 10:25am
Son of Science covered Backstreet Boys hahahah!
December 18th, 2007 at 1:36am
i think the Godsmack remake was not Godsmacks greatest work BUT on the other hand if we didnt know it was Godsmack we would all be in an agreement that the cover is actually not bad! I like Godsmack, I dont like that they remade this song though…just like I love metallica but when they tried to remake some of the songs they remade on garage inc….i was a bit miffed! For example, TURN THE PAGE was a great cover but coming from metallica just seemed weird…check out my myspace page…i have updates of TOP 10 FAVORITE REMAKES posted every couple days….

Say You Bands that Put Make-Up on your Faces with alittle Black Liner around the Eyes… I had rather Look like I have a Snake in my hands and eating the flesh with Blood pouring out of my mouth with a Mask on looking like Slipknot. Now that’s “THE DEADSEA’S” I was back from 1986 to 1994. Now that’s the end of my Comment and I am not meaning this as an insult to My Bro’s out there. All Bands from many Genre’s are accepted on my Profile Page at aeromant@MySpace. http://www.myspace.com/aeromant
