Why is it that some people cover AC/DC songs when they have about as much in common with rock n' roll as Rosie o' Donnel has with Jessica Alba.

Rosie o' Donnel has a lot in common with Jessica Alba. They're both women, they both are celebrities, they both look like they just had a kid.

We can only hope she was joking....

And, yes....that "song" by the Jonas Brothers was...awful :| People like this should not be allowed to listen to The Beatles, let alone cover their songs.

Wait, WHAT :shock:

You mean to tell me that Fall Out Boy had the audacity to cover that song and turn it into a big pile of pop rock crap? Great now all the 12 years olds in the world are going to be singing "Walk" claiming Fall Out Boy wrote it.

Sort of like how some idiot mistaked the acoustic version of Creep for a cover of it by Muse and idiots believed it was actually Muse.


Creep by who?

Creep by Stone Temple Pilots or Radiohead..?

Incase it's Radiohead. Muse > Radiohead

LMAO, no just no. Its actully pretty awful. The vocals fail, the guitar fails, the drums fail, the bass fails, and most importantly! they turned a deadly heart moving song into a god awful pop punk song.

The worst one I ever heard was a random guy on the Ultimate-Guitar Forums. He attempted to cover Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. Not only did his guitar sound like a tin cat screaming on a hot tin roof cover in tin needles, but he played everything two and a half times as fast as the backing track. It was so unfeasably bad I sent it to my friend who still has it buried deep within his hard drive.

But out of the ones by big bands, nothings compares to Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey and Sign - Run To The Hills.

I haven't a clue. But Kerrang! were intelligent enough to allow them to publicly deface one of the greatest british metal bands of all time.
