Forums: The Bar,

yeah my mate played me Evanesence's cover of Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana. (It's on the Going Under single) ..Whats up with that? It just sounds so wrong with a chick singing it.

Have you heard No Doubt's version of Sliver??

I have. Its got people booing in at the start "you succcccckkk!" etc cuz its from like '94 I think, before they were quite popular. At first I didnt like it but it grew on me.

//Evanesence's cover of Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana.

Whaaat!!?!!!? Those people are NOT allowed to cover Nirvana. I will have words to them.

Apparently she's butchered a Led Zep song too.

What the?? she should be shot for even trying

she's only covering other peoples great songs because her songs suck and she's only just realised that no one likes her anymore
hahaha

hey Tama Drummer......there has been rumours going around that avril may be soon to cover the foo fighters song 'next year'.
if that happens then i'll personally see to it that avril's career is extinguished ...well i'll TRY to do something about it anyway :)

//if that happens then i'll personally see to it that avril's career is extinguished ...well i'll TRY to do something about it anyway

I would so like to see that happen!!! someone knock some sense into her!

I would be more pissed if it was 'Everlong'

ahhhhh 'everlong' is my favourite Foo fighters song! oh i love it so much!

I think there should be rule for covering other artist.

- If you make a cover of a band, make sure the song is at least 12 years old.

OK???

And it's understandable that she wants to make other peoples songs, cause she have like 13 songs, and most of them suck.

no cause any Led Zep song is older than 12yrs

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! NOT AVRIL!!!!!!!!!!!!

She did an acoustic cover of "chop suey" on Stern the other day.
God save me from all crap covers of crap songs, cheers.

whos next i say what song is she gonna cover next?

Bette Midler - 'Wind Beneath My Wings'

Blindspott - Phlex.

haha misteribanez you are going to get a whole lot of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " from blindspott#1.

i think she should do phlex.

id like to see her pull that off
also before i forget
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

No she never will, because Blindspott will never get big enough for her to notice

lol, datz true tama

I think it's cool.

YOU are joking arent you????

Avril = hot young flesh... Maybe she should do porn instead...

Avril porn? Yeah right! maybe she should consider doing that.....for blind people! they wouldn't be missing out on anything anyway!

LOL!!

do i detect jealousy?

no i'll admit that avril was once alright. this was when sk8er boi was released and also back when i was naive. now she's absolute trash, her talent, or whatever she had, has long gone and i feel sorry for her fans. covering other bands songs is not good. some bands pull it off rather well, but these bands have also had years of experience under their belts. Avril however is a sad excuse for a pop star!

jealousy is not in my vocabulary. for avril it is Hatred!

I'm surpised blindspott#1 doesn't like avril lavigne.

//no i'll admit that avril was once alright. this was when sk8er boi was released and also back when i was naive.
You are very young, aren't you?

//Now she's absolute trash, her talent, or whatever she had, has long gone
When did this happen? What has changed at all? She is still doing the exact same thing she has always been doing - but I assume she'd be better at it now because she's had more practice.

//You are very young, aren't you?
Well not really unless you think 17 is 'young'. Only 65 days until my 18th - i can't wait!!

Wait, doesn't Avril wear trucker caps? That's unique and different!

she did a interesting cover of MetallicA's 'Fuel'

nowhere near as bad as that band Speedway whose cover of 'Genie In A Bottle' has been playing on juice....the idea is okay (maybe) but the end result sounds like christina aguilera with a backing band, rather than the edgy 80's-tronic fash trash that the band's on stage appearance would suggest. . .

oh so many bad covers... is it so hard to stop and say "wait, this isn't working, lets try another song"

http://www.mp3.com.au/grusome ]

Heard the mash-up of The Strokes' 'Hard to Explain' and 'Genie in a Bottle'? It's pretty freely available out there in MP3 land, called 'A Stroke of Genie-us' by the Freelance Hellraiser. It's probably the best mash-up I've heard... maybe second to 2 Many DJs putting an acapella of Destiny's Child's 'Independent Woman' over 10CC's 'Dreadlock Holiday'.

I hate those sort of rocky covers of "disposable pop" tunes, from the Presidents of the USA through Cake to Alien Ant Farm. I don't find it funny, and as a creative act it's invariably worse than the original.

Those paras are unrelated to each other, btw.. except that they're both responses to grusome.

I reckon the Me First & The Gimme Gimmes would have done a better version of 'Genie In A Bottle'

I liked that cover, very speedy :)

Madonna - american pie!?!? the sad thing is it was actually popular

i don't like the original either

always so positive...

stop having heart attacks, people.

Avril fan, Avril fan! Burn her!

So whos better? Avril Lavigne or Kelly Osburne? I bet most u gurls will say Kelly, since her fat ass will minus the jealous factor... He he he
