songscover songs you've never heard anybody play correctly

8111	Date: November 2, 2005 @ 11:37 PM Ok, maybe I'm a bit touchy about some things...but everytime I hear a guitar player improperly play: Hells Bells by AC/DC Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf or Satisfaction by the Stones or... almost ANYTHING by BLACK Sabbath, considering Tony Iommi's VERY particular rythm style... it makes me grind my *&^%$'n teeth... what songs have you noticed people/guitarists/cover bands screw up again and again and again??? Humor me.

GeneHilbert	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 12:07 AM I look at this from a couple different angles. Probably not to unique an opinion - but anyway. 1.) It depends on what you are doing with it.... if you have made this cover something of your own and you are playing the shit out of it..... I'm kewl with it.... 2.) Beginners who are giving it their all... and missing things here or there and are open to being corrected and are interesting in learning to play it correct...... Then I'm kewl with it.... 3.) If you are obviously fucking it up... don't know or care you are fucking it up, and come off as some hotshot arrogant rock star. Then it bothers me....... and they probably should have a day job.
zedsalt	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 11:51 AM Anytime anyone does an exact cookie-cutter cover of any song by an innovative artist, it irks me like fingernails across a chalkboard. I can never figure out why anyone would want to insult his/her/their favorite artists that way.
EtherEclectic	Date: November 3, 2005 @ 12:53 PM well for me its is when Korn decided to cover "a brick in the wall prt2" by Pink Floyd. it seriously made me angry how cheesy they made it sound. from the nasty fuzzy distortion to the vocals that had pretty much the same tone melody through out the whole song... and of course the solo.....
INoxx	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 5:22 PM confortably numb and wish you were here by other guys than Gilmour (even if waters wrote the second one, it just don't sound the same with his band)
Distilled1	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 7:11 PM But listen to Cathrine Wheel do Wish you were here And I am one hell of a Pink Floyd Fan and Purest. But the did it so well and so

hate9wicket	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 11:12 PM Wallflowers totally making "Heroes" sound really lame and uninspired. Of course it was a hit song, and Bowie laughed all the way to the bank while Bob was going-"That's MY son?"
Bhairava	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 8:26 AM I think people can do straight covers just to show themselves they can do it but for purposes of performing it to others thats a different. I've done a few straight covers just to try and just play the songs I like to try some more unusual cover choices though like Out on the Tiles by Led Zep I just covered its on my area. I usually just edit the rhythme a bit or maybe change the solo section if there is one.
Alecs	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 8:41 PM the ones i see most are green day, led zeppelin, black sabbath and metallica god it pisses me off
Bhairava	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 5:25 AM I don't really mind people covering Sabbath and Zeppelin no comment on Metalicca as long as they do songs that not everyone else does.
towanda123	Date: November 11, 2005 @ 10:26 AM Stairway to Heaven. I don't even get why so many people fell the need to cover it
