Found one by accident and it really needed to be posted, stat! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8BFaS8uLkI&feature=related Hi Viriginia! Good choice! As soon as I saw the title of your topic, I immediately thought of Miley Cyrus singing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Here is a cover of "Black Dog". While the guitarist sounds good, the singer sounds awful! Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 The guitar is really good though Kiwi! This one is pretty bad too! (original): But even better (or worse!) is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULmC8JTTVy0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Scissor Sisters. Comfortably Numb. End of. That was such a putrid pile of filth, they should have been pilloried for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Scissor Sisters. Comfortably Numb. End of. That was such a putrid pile of filth, they should have been pilloried for it. Sorry but I think thats one of the best cover version of the last decade, the Floyd themselves were very positive about it aswell. If they'd just tried to do a floyd disco cove" at random the results could have been horrible but The Wall does have an undercurrent of disco to it which I think they picked up on and emphasized. Comfortabley Numb itself wasnt "funky" of course but it was smooth and basically what they did was take the riff from Another Brick, speed it up and transplant it which I think works very well indeed.

Electrophile Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 It's godawful. I don't know a single person, even people who aren't that into Pink Floyd, who likes it. The band must have been having a collective drug flashback when they said they liked it. I'd rather listen to Another Brick In The Wall pt. 2 (and I think it's the band's worst song) than that cover of Comfortably Numb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missytootsweet Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 The original, a classic #1 hit Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts..... And the cover........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mET9CBsHbF0 I listened to this with an open mind, but in the end this sounds too creepy for me! ... ....missy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 If you're going to cover someone's song, especially this one, it'd probably be wise to actually learn the words to it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Are we allowed to use profanities here, btw?) That's your opinion, and you're at least partly correct, because a grape is about the only thing that REM could smash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 That's your opinion, and you're at least partly correct, because a grape is about the only thing that REM could smash I just remember listening to R.E.M.'s Dead Letter Office when it first came out and one of my friends commenting how he preferred R.E.M.'s version of "Toys In the Attic" to Aerosmith's original. It also showed more of R.E.M.'s harder side which they rarely showed on record, you had to see them live to hear their covers of Aerosmith, Mission of Burma, Television, etc. In other words there's much more to them than "Losing My Religion". Great song and it showcases many of R.E.M.'s strengths as songwriters and performers but the harder stuff heard on Accelerate, Monster and New Adventures in Hi-Fi really reveals their punk rock influences.

silvermedalist Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I thought Aerosmith's first three albums were dynomite. But after that forget it. Even Rocks was not in the league the first three were in. Songs like Mama Kin and Train Kept a Rollin were amoung the best. Dream on too,, their Stairway if you will.

bouillon Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 ^ You're right about Rocks, Silvermedalist. It's good, but not as good as Toys. Some of their later stuff's ok - Night in the Ruts was pretty good, though it gets slagged off, also Done With Mirrors (I don't think they were done with the mirrors by then, if they even are now ). But even on a rough night, they could run REM out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Aerosmith at their absolute lowest point, covering Diane Warren's "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" for the Armageddon soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKAn1HvmRXM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 That's not a cover, Jahfin. Diane Warren is not a singer-songwriter, she's just a songwriter. So they did the song she wrote, not a song she herself has performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 That's not a cover, Jahfin. Diane Warren is not a singer-songwriter, she's just a songwriter. So they did the song she wrote, not a song she herself has performed. Which makes it all the worse. Then again, it's not the first time Aerosmith have had to turn to outside writers in an attempt to score a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
