Murder Junkie - Duran Duran did virtually an enitre ALBUM of bad covers, called "Thank You", which included the following bad versions of good songs:

White Lines (Grandmaster Flash) A little help from GrandMaster Flash himself can't even help this cover.

I Wanna Take You Higher (Sly & the Family Stone) Blah.

Perfect Day (Lou Reed) Ok, I guess so.

Watching The Detectives (Elvis Costello) Nope… uh-uh.

Lay Lady Lay (Dylan) Yikes. Do not let Duran Duran go near another Dylan song… EVER.

911 Is A Joke (Public Enemy) Simon LeBon rapping?! Ridiculous, and embarrasing to say the very least. Can't believe this song got the OK from the record label.

Crystal Ship (The Doors) Not bad, but yet still somehow very bad, indeed.

10. Thank You (Led Zeppelin) Probably the only decent cover on this album.

I Wanna Take You Higher Again (Sly & the Family Stone) Decided one version wasn't enough for some reason.

The saddest thing about this album… I OWN IT.

I would like to point out here that Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor was the first to cover 911`s a joke on his solo album , so Duran Duran are technically responsable for ruining that song TWICE.

No difference in the Limp Bizkit version and The Who version??


You must be one of the people who think Fred Durst wrote the song... If you were old enough to hear the original, you would know that Limp Bizkit butchered it. And how the hell can you stand up for rap-metal bands anyway?

Just shows your age.

Oh wow now using my age as an insult? Listen jerk, I don't think fred Durst wrote the song i've heard both versions or else i wouldn't be saying they sound the same would I? and yes im standing up for them, big deal you hate the band, i do too but the songs still sound the same. Compare them back to back the only diffirence is the eletronic part on the bizkit version and the part where they do the solo routine and it speeds up on the whos. Aside from that its the same. Which is what 40 seconds? Then if you cut out the end of bizkit its fine.

Oh and quit assuming shit about me, it really doesn't make you look intelligent.

I think what my furious friend is trying to say here is The Who:Limp Bizkit::Jefferson Airplane:Jim Carey in cable guy

The songs are diffrent yes, but theres nothing that was done diffrently on the whole. The voice is diffrent, and yes LB used speak and spell. Other than that, it was a direct copy. It was not, say

The Animals's House of the Rising Sun compared to Tracy Chapman's version which were completly diffrent aside from lyrics. And maybe it was if we count decipherability.

Thats what convinced me that the guitarist for LB is the worst guitarist ever, they copy the song note for note, except they leave out the awesome guitar solo and replace it with speech and spell, it isnt even a hard guitar solo, in fact its simple as hell. :laughing:

Well that was done when they had the guitarist from "snot", Im pretty sure Wes Borland wasn't there then.

I know, i know it wasnt Wes, but the new guys name never sticks with me.

wasnt there a thread somewhere in here about good covers? whered that go?

I apologize, it is my personal belief that ANYONE who stands up for Limp Bizkit or Korn must have been a teenager angry at their parents during the 90's.

And I've listened to them back to back: Roger Daltrey sings with passion and power... Fred Durst sings like a dying animal. If you honestly think these songs "sound the same" you need to get some Q-Tips to remove your massive earwax buildup.

I'm also a little bitter that you think Dylan is overrated. It's not like there's a standard by which you HAVE to like an artist, but saying that Dylan has never written any amazing lyrics is just stupidity.

Dylan is overated, and also the vocals are gonna be different its a cover.

Duh the vocals are going to be different. And they're terrible. And exchanging a guitar solo for speak and spell changes a song pretty drastically.


You're going to have to explain to me how Bob Dylan is overrated. He's been putting out good music since 1962. Your parents were probably still ****ting in diapers.

Dylan is a talented lyricist, but c'mon you can't deny he gets to much hype. It happens with alot of classic rock aritsts. He just isn't as great as made out to be.

Oh, so you completely changed your opinion?

That was a few days ago...

Hey I think you're missing a bandwagon driving by! Better jump on quickly.

Have you been listening to Highway 61, or Blonde on Blonde, or Freewheelin' or Blood On The Tracks or Bringing It All Back Home lately? Your opinion of Dylan changed like night to day.

I said hes "not the amazing genius writing everyone makes them out to be."
I didn't say "his lyrics are utter crap and hes an untalented writer" did i?
Yeah, i stand by him being talented, I also stand by him being overated and his lyrics having the crap hyped out of them.
Don't take what i say out of context.

You obviously don't know what taking words out of context means. I copied your post and pasted it... What I did is called quoting. Taking words out of context is a completely different thing.


Any one of your elementary teachers could teach you the difference, you just have to ask. Go into class tomorrow and ask your teacher what the difference between quoting and taking words out of context is.

Yes, but you making it out like i said his lyrics suck and trying to make me look like a hypocrite there. When as i explained that wasn't hypocritical of me at all.

So then you don't know the difference between quoting and taking words out of context. End of argument.

By the way, I wasn't trying to make you look like a hypocrite. Why do you keep using words you don't know the meaning to?

If you say you like something one day, and you dislike it the next, that's not hypocritical, that's what we call the John Kerry flip-flop.

Ugh please don't use words you don't know the meaning of, especially when you're dealing with someone who has a college degree in English.

I admitted i was wrong when i said yes. Do you have to turn around and make yourself feel better by making a condescending remark? Way to be an ass hole.

EDIT: Once again, the statements don't contradict eachother jerk, and i believe "Oh, so you completely changed your opinion?" in otherwords saying one thing and saying another somewhere else is being hypocritical.

An act or instance of such falseness.
Instance falseness, meaning changing my opinion immdietly (lying) to help me. Unless having a degree in english gives you the right to change the dictionary?

I'm not trying to be an *******. I'm pointing out your misuse of words.

Use this as a general rule: if you don't know the meaning of a word, then don't use it. Because someone who knows the meaning of that word is guaranteed to call you on your obvious misuse.

See, now you've resorted to name-calling and we can all see how childish you really are.

You're missing the big picture again. Changing your opinion has nothing to do with being a hypocrite.

EXAMPLE:
No one should eat ice cream.
If I eat ice cream, then I am a hypocrite.

If I say, I don't feel that so-and-so writes good lyrics,
Then the next day, I change my opinion, so-and-so is very talented, that is NOT hypocritical.

There's a gigantic difference between being a hypocrite and changing your views... You're just not seeing it.

Did you not read the dictionary definition and read my post? Cause to be honest your entirely missing what i said. Name calling? If i said YOU ARE AN ASS HOLE that would be name calling, YOUR ARE BEING AN ASS HOLE, is saying your acting.

Anyway i have a date, so i wont reply to your next post for a few hours.

Yeah, but if you say "Oh, Dylan is overrated" to make yourself seem superior or for whatever reason, when you really love Dylan with all your heart, that is being a hypocrite, because you're professing beliefs that you don't actually hold.

If, on the other hand, you have radical Dylan mood swings I suppose that doesn't really make you a hypocrite.

You aren't old enough to go on a date.

When you say "Way to be an ass hole" you AREN'T calling me an ass hole?

When you say "JERK" you AREN'T calling me a jerk?

You have worse logic than my nine-year-old daughter. Don't get all pissy at me because you don't know the meaning of 'context' or 'hypocrite', I'm just helping you out so when you get out in the real world and start saying these things you don't sound completely foolish in your misuse of words.

Grow up ya incompetent qu eer!!!Don't get mad when people express an opinion because you'll see it often, ya hear?:nono: That band did not only a terrible "job" on that song, but they do it to their own songs, for God's sakes!!!:laughing: It's somewhat alright if a band becomes a one hit wonder off their own song, but when it's one hit wonder is another artists song, that's surely pathetic!!!
If you're "annoyed" from me, then that's fine!!!It's your opinion!!!You should then know that because I say that that bands "cover" sucks, it's my opinion, got it?Stay "annoyed", neither you or that song/band mean s hit to me, End Of Story!!!:drummer: :clap:

Go home, kid. You don't need to call people names over an internet message board. You're letting everyone know how young you are, and it makes everything you say irrelevant.


I don't know what is wrong with you people who get angry and name-call when we start stating opinions.

Here's the thing, children, if someone states an opinion that is different from yours, and you have a discussion about it, there is no need for directly attacking! It's childish, it's stupid, and it makes what could possibly be a good point turn into something that no one respects because of your poor attitude.

I don't care if you're twelve years old. I don't care if you're forty years old. But for God's sake, don't act like you're two years old.

.

EDIT: Nevermind fuck this, you can turn around and argue with me like a little kid k?

That's good, a very intelligent argument.

**** this.

Very admirable.

You're welcome to post again when you get over your young child anger and are ready to comment in a polite and civilized manner.

Ok that's enough children, I'd appreciate if you all stop getting your panties wet over how over or under-rated Bob Dylan is, and STAY ON ****ING TOPIC.

Moving on,

I would like to share my annoyance at Maddona stealing the music from ABBA! That 40 year-old wank is still not writing her own music, and continues to take other music.

P.S. Black_Jack_Davey, if you're such an old timer, then why are you on a message board arguing with a 14 year-old? If you keep attacking people like that, you are going to get banned.

Urgh, agreed. That song would have no substance whatsoever if she didnt put something good in there, and judging by her current state, she's not fit to come up with that part herself.

Yep sign me up for hating that decrepid bandwagon jumping whore also.

I guess im lucky i've never heard her stuff huh?

Where have you been living the past 20 years? Mars?

It's like who would sing about a phone ringing? Maybe for little kids.

And has anyone noticed those rubbery thighs? She needs to cover up so we stop needing to chuck. HAHAHA, this is good, she needs to cover her body, not other artists songs!!!!

Ooo I thought of a song I used to love until Jessica Simpson killed it: My Boots Are Made For Walking.

I agree..

Poor Willie Nelson, having to be a part of that.. That music video was terrible. She skankified a really classic song.. So sad..

Didn't Operation Ivy do a very loose cover of that song?
