The Horribly Bad Cover Bands Who Were Dumb Enough To Use Youtube Thread

[jaguarr]

Folks....there are some horrible, horrible cover bands on Youtube (as well as some of the other video sites). And in that horror there is also much humor. This thread will be a refuge for those of us who take pleasure in watching other human beings unwittingly make giant asses out of themselves while thinking they are doing something incredibly fantastic. Yes, it's mortifying to hear them butcher beloved songs, but the laughter it brings will heal any wounds you may suffer from their aural assaults.

And, with that, let's kick things off with an awful Holy Diver (Dio) cover:

Oh crap, I am watching that when I get home.

It's weird how popular that song is for, as far as I can tell, an insane song that is about nothing more than the medieval-tinged stream-of-consciousness ramblings of a guy with a rhyming dictionary.

The only thing that makes it even better is that it's a horrible cover band with very little talent butchering the song to itty-bitty pieces. The comments are typical Youtube as well and are hilarious! Some jackass actually wrote "Doug sounds better than Dio!". LOFL! Sorry, but Doug sounds like a cat with a firecracker stuck up it's ass.

So many bad metal cover bands... so few bullets.

 

[Halcohol]

You can't honestly tell me there's anything better than... Mini-KISS!

 

[Dangerous]

Check Slayer doin Born to be wild- very bizzare.

 

[Mee]

Someone should post Taylor Hicks cover of A Day In The Life.


Better yet, don't. No one should have to hear that.

Why listen to Queen when you can have 0veen?

That really wan't half bad, actually. A few missed notes here and there, but not bad for a cover band.

[Super Kal]

ugh... that's horrible...

 

[JP]

I'm a Queen loyalist.

 

[jaguarr]

Queen ain't easy to cover. That cover band certainly isn't great, but compared to most bands I've seen trying to cover Queen, they're not half bad. Especially considering they probably don't even speak English.

[JP]

The non English speaking bands are usually the better ones.

 

[Drakon]

Just for Jag, cause I know what he's gonna say. [This is payback for Holy Diver, bee-otch! ]

Ugh. They are indeed a horribly bad cover band.

Neverending story

 

[Drakon]

I must point out that the Dresden Dolls are NOT, in fact, a cover band, per se, however the song I posted above IS a cover, from the opening of Rocky Horror.

 

[JP]

Just for Jag, cause I know what he's gonna say. [This is payback for Holy Diver, bee-otch! ]

Hey.

I like the Dresden Dolls. They shouldn't be singing that, though.

 

[Drakon]

So do I. And I actually like that cover, though I'm a Rocky Horror ****e.

Again, another cover tune, but not a cover band. I'll find an actual cover BAND soon, though.

I just went to a midnight showing a few nights ago. Awesome.

I couldn't even get through the first few seconds of that.

 

[Drakon]

The song they cover isn't bad. And that cover itself wouldn't be horrible, if they could just stifle the need to growl half the goddamn lyrics.

 

[JP]

Is Midnight Oil's version the original? I just listened to that, and I enjoyed it.
