>>68918497
desu this song is great reminds me of king crimson or mercury rev

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tmc8rJgxUI

The fact that so many people actually like this shit version makes it worse. Axl Rose's cat wailing is even more obnoxious than usual here.

>>68918439
did bowie ever do a cover that wasn't shit?

>>68919447
Let's Spend the Night Together is a pretty good cover my man

>>68918428

Cuck band

>>68922133

this reminds me of all those dudes who replayed bach with synthesizers while taking themselves more or less seriously. some of them are really worth the kek.
Apart from "switched on bach" things i found those gems

I said it was a good Bowie cover not bad.

The Killers

Don't think I've ever heard a worse cover.

>>68918505
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fregObNcHC8
I prefer this to the Bowie one

>>68924610
Jesus christ, they destroyed the entire atmosphere of the song. That fucking guitar sounds like at 1:28 sounds like a 10 year old's first notes as he learns to play.

>>68918497
I would have been much happier not knowing this shit existed

>>68917866

Avril Lavigne's """"""""""""""cover""""""""""""" of Chop Suey. Interestingly enough, I can't find the actual video of her singing it anymore so I can only assume she had it taken down in embarrassment.

honestly i like this one.

but then again pixies were a shit band to begin with, but the only thing that really sticks out is Rivers' voice.

>>68925249
holy fuck this is art

>when the cover is pretty much the same in quality as the original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivBTeBa0-4g

>>68925336
this is impressively terrible. if 1:30 isn't the most cliche thing could have but in the video i don't know what is. also at 2:00 when it suddenly becomes where the streets have no name. this is music for people who find ed sheeran to abrasive.

>>68925503
why does the picture look like a rammstein album

>>68917866
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgfILrd8HjE
I love the original but fuck, I can't stand this
>>68925503
Holy shit I remember these guys, one of their music videos was on one of my Mortal Kombat games on the Gamecube.

I want whatever HHH is on

>>68925446
ill admit pixies arent that great but i do love velouria. weezer sucks though. is there anything less creative and interesting than weezer? this cover just shows how boring and replaceable they are as a band.

It's actually not that bad. I've never heard the original though so I went in with zero expectations.

>>68926382

Has there literally ever been a listenable cover from the AV Club series?

educate yourself:

It's not amazingly influential or groundbreaking or anything, but it's a pretty standard Albini cut. And that cover tramples everything good about the song (namely the mixing and the delivery)

how did they make a song off of painkiller suck?

that Weezer cover is pretty enjoyable family

>>68921823
Fucking no it isn't

>>68926570
when low covered toto's africa it was kind of alright.

also when the lead singer of low sang institutionalized by suicidal tendencies.

ironically, low is the highpoint of the AV club

>>68918625
this is supposed to be a bad cover thread, not fucking awesome

I mean this is a meme cover. This is adorable and I wish we still had mainstream bands like Talking Heads that could be covered by Kermit the frog

>>68927603
This is worse than I thought it would be

Welp I'm posting it.

This stuff really bothers. It just seems like they're using joy division to their gain. To appear like a more serious band, or to make money. Plus, how could they like a band like joy division and cover them in this way?

>>68921856
holy shit

Wild is The Wind is pretty good, as is his cover of "Cactus" and "Fill Your Heart"
