Horrible remakes, covers, and why I hate Panic!

[Tangled Web]

Why I've grown to hate Panic!
I've discovered that they've covered some of my favorite songs at recent shows. Including: Eleanor Rigby, Killer Queen, and Karma Police. I decided to check out thier covers and what I discovered was God awful. Rather than trying to do justice to these pieces of music, they performed them in thier same bubble gum style.
What made me the most mad was their cover of Elenor Rigby. That song is so beautiful when done by the Beatles. But p!atd ****ed it up.

To give them credit, atleast they aren't releasing thier covers (god I hope they never do) but the fact that they disrespected such works in ****ty fashion is scary because there are plenty of kids who've never heard the originals and think that Panic!'s cover is cannon.

This got me thinking of other horrible re makes. There is already a thread for best remakes, so which re-makes make you cringe?

No no no.

I already hated them, but no way should they be singing Beatles tunes.

panic at the disco > the beatles.

kypade doesn't mean it Precious, he doesn't means it...

Panic! At The Disco always sucked. TW only ever liked them due to his dry hump related bias. It clouded his vision for a good while. Good to know he's opened his ears.

i can't believe you're seriously upset that panic at the disco sucks. i thought it was common knowledge by now...

So did I.

New Found Glory has shat all over some pretty decent songs.


their cover of "I don't want to miss a thing" is ear-wrenching

 

[The Chairman]

Oh, and when it comes to worst remakes, Limp Bizkit's butchering of "Behind Blue Eyes" takes the cake. End of discussion. Pete Townshend should've smashed his guitar over Fred Durst's head for doing it in the first place.

fixed.

The band Thrice did an awesome cover of Eleanor Rigby, IMO.

They did an equally awesome cover of Carol of the Bells.

Considering Eleanor Rigby and Carol of the Bells are two of my favorite songs ever, I think Thrice is really my mom.

Going out of your way to post how panics at the disco! sucks has really made me think twice of my opinion about you. Each Word I read sent me shivers of admiration for you.

You've finally become a man

 

[KingOfDreams]

They did a crappy cover of The Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight Tonight."

 

[Speedball]

Panic did WHAT TO ELEANOR RIGBY?!!!
I will kill them for that.
KILL THEM!!!

HULK SMASH PANIC!

 

[Sun_Down]

Panic did a crappy cover of 3EB's "Slow Motion" too. The lead singer was all cocky when he intro'd the song too, saying something like, "I bet you've never heard this song". Everyone's heard it jackass!

 

[KingOfDreams]

Pete Townshend should've smashed his guitar over Fred Durst's head for doing it in the first place.

I would pay to see that.

 

[The Chairman]

I would pay to see that.

As would I.

Also, The Scissor Sisters' version of "Comfortably Numb" is a similarly dreadful listening experience.

 

[KingOfDreams]

panic at the disco > the beatles.

You gotta be kidding, especially for somebody who likes Neutral Milk Hotel.

I just don't at all like the thread starter.

 

[The Chairman]

Oh, and throw one more in, Britney Spears version of "Satisfaction" is just...ugh.

 

[jimmy]

And YOU went to their concert.

 

[Tangled Web]

And YOU went to their concert.

That was long ago. I've grown.

I like the Panic at the Disco CD, I really do. and I absolutely loved it when I first heard of them (a few months before they hit it big)... my love has died down plenty, but I gotta say... they are terrible live. not even bearable... just awful playing live. if I had heard them in concert before the CD, I would be despising their name to this day

 

[jimmy]

That was long ago. I've grown.

You still went, and so, in the end, they win.
