[Closed] Wow - just wow. Amazing cover of a Simon & Garfunkel track....

amazing is such a subjective word

Please could you not say 'wow, just wow'. 'Wow' would have sufficed.
Thanks, just thanks.

I much prefer the original The Dickies version.

I always cringe a little when someone says "wow-just wow"

That is horrific.

Disturbed do some dreadful covers. Also all their original songs are pretty poor. Brothers other half loves them - so been subjected more than a few times.

I always cringe a little when someone says "wow-just wow"

That's the trouble with post-modernism....

Okay, so I like it anyway 🙁

Lasted 90 seconds.

Amazingly OTT production vs amazingly underwhelming nasal baritone from the singer.

We are not amazed.

Well luckily you don't have to bear our opinions in mind OP. Play what you enjoy! You would probably think most of what I enjoy is crap. 😉

I quite liked it. Only 99p on Amazon.

What he said, not everyone will like it (or in this case no-one) but you do, which is nice.

To be fair if this was a 10 year younger me I may have liked it.

'Wow, just wow'... means.

This must be REALLY good. (Otherwise you will be embarrassing yourself)

This is eine kleine aufzugsmusik at best.

I really do worry about the people on this site sometimes.

Nope sorry, if the original is very good you have to do something different to get a wow from me.

Thats just not even a very good cover IMO.

Mind. Blown.

Wait till you see what they do next...

Wow - just wow. Amazing cover of *

*The only cover ever made that deserves that kind of intro is this one

[b]Wow - just wow[/b]

😯 NSFW - In fact not safe for anything really

Can someone post the original please, so I can get that horrid drone out of my head.

Never mind johndoh - they’re a demanding lot on here! 😀

I quite like it. Mind you, I can’t talk - I also quite like this…

Rachel

Pfft I don't care. Just had my taste in music questioned on a new Spotify shared playlist we're playing in the office.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Disturbed followed by Sleaford Mods, Moby, Bowie, Sabbath, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Wagner, Adele, Motorhead...

🙂

Rock on

ha ha - yeah, I try not to add too much to them as people give me funny looks when it’s all odd Eurythmics tracks and Frankie Goes to Hollywood etc..

Ohhh, Frankie.... Added 🙂

This is a WoW, just WoW cover of Nivana's Stay Away off Nevermind. Partly because it's almost completely indistinguishable from the original.

Never have really got disturbed, they always seem a bit erm, characatured?
If that's even a word!

I just want to see what happens if you pull on those bits of metal in his chin.

(but from a distance!!)

Rachel

I love disturbed. Well, I don't like their music but David Draiman's good value. Kerrang magazine front cover: "Don't call me mad" says Mad Davey Draiman

The only one you need to [s]watch[/s] listen to...

#favfilmeva

The only one you need to [s]watch[/s] listen to...

Definitely. Quite ironic that the OP should like a cover of "The Sound of Silence" which is being belted out by someone who in the words of the Big Yin ..."sounds like a goose farting in the fog".

I agree I think that its a really good cover. Having said that I wasnt impressed with their other stuff

What a total pile of...... 😯

If you fancy a salubrious session of sometimes risqué covers then pop over to these guys YouTube channel 😉

Oh - and they're coming to the UK on tour 8)

Can I post this again?

Boy1 was extolling it's virtue last night. Wasn't impressed when The Wife played him the original. They have also covered Genesis - Land of Confusion. TBH it wasn't terrible. Proof you can polish a turd.

Grim....just grim 🙂

Or roll out the Cheese....

Its made me feel ill, waste of resources dont dribble on about MMGW if you listen to that shit

Wow - just wow. Amazing cover of a Simon & Garfunkel track....

OP,

No, it's not ... Wow ...

It's shite!

Utter shite!

It's painful to the ears and to hear ...

Why get so excited over a cover.

You have lousy music taste!

Pah, you need the Lounge Kittens covering Steel Panther.

NSFW. Contains rude words and suggestive images.

Meh!, didn't like his throaty attempt at a powerful vocal delivery but if you like it then my response to the track in no way invalidates your musical taste - we all like different stuff etc…etc..

I imagine not many folk would enjoy what i'm listening to at the moment - Lubomyr Melnyk - Ripples in a Water Stream

Pukes then wanders off to see if his brother still has a cassette of "Sounds of Violence" by Arthur Sproat & the Roving Skullwaggers *

* long since gone band covering S & G stuff, nothing on google neither, my favourite was always "Showroom Bound" 🙂

Absolutely dire just awful just so awful

[img] [/img]

Sounds like a fairly poor cover of Anthony & The Johnsons covering S&G.
Just dull, really, brings nothing new to the party.
I [i]love[/i] a good cover, I'm gradually putting together a covers playlist in iTunes, but I keep finding new ones; this, I'm afraid, won't be on it.

That was turgid shite.

I had a creeping suspicion that's what would be waiting for me when I clicked the thread. I think there's actually a "thing" within American hard rock where they explore their deeper, more emotional side by torturing classics. Witness.....

To the OP - they've been playing the song over here and I'm loving it!

🙂

Music is purely subjective and you either like it or you don't.
If you are 13, a whiney American brat who hates his mom and thinks his teacher sucks I'm sure the OP's record is really good.
But for the rest of humanity it really is pathetic. Not as bad as the bad company cover which will have most right minded people looking up their local taliban recruitment centre in the yellow pages.

I'm rather partial to this at the moment after hearing it on Radio6

I'm digging the Lubomyr melnyk, thanks for the tip off

Saw that posted on Facebook the other day. Think that it would've been better if my hopes hadn't been raised before hearing it.

Wow just wow !!

My favourite break-up song is actually a cover 🙂

Some quality, for balance

Spat coffee on the keyboard from the title. Listened to about a minute of it. It sucks. The original was pretentious nonsense but it doesn't make me want to smash the speakers the way that garbage does.

Beej ......love the lounge kittens song!

Hmmm.. I lasted about 40seconds too.

Not my thing at all.

But I admire them for covering it, why not.

These people took a song and pwned it.

That would be from Johnny Cash's still shit but dying phase. When he was discovered by all the grief athletes.

I quite like it. But... It's a superb song, and they've done nothing to it other than be a bit raspy, so for that it's a no from me.

original better

I'll see your Postmodern Jukebox and raise you an Alice Russell

and OP sorry but need to try harder.

To the OP, each to their own eh. To my ears it was okish,nothing more, nothing less.

It's better than the Nouela version that popped up below it on the YouTube feed.

Good choices Holst, TH are class but then so was Jimi. You should dig out the XTC version of all along the watchtower, god only knows what Andy Partridge had before he got on stage but he is away with it, brilliant, and eccentric to my mind and utterly baffling to many others. I would put up a linky but I have to dash off for an interview.

Tiger6791!!!!!!!

i know i clicked play but that 'take that' thing made me vurp,

can i 'apple+z' my mind?

garvaldnights : He's can certainly play can't he?, if you like that then check out [url= http://www.erasedtapes.com/store ]erased tapes record label here[/url], I'd start with nils frahm & olafur arnalds

Meh.

Initially dull - the neon light didn't really split the night.

But wait here's a key change. That's original.

Then I'll get louder and more growly, that should be a good ending.

Thankfully it ended.

At work so youtube links dont show up.

But, can I safely assume that someone has posted Cash's cover of NIN Hurt?

Surely a 2 page thread on covers someone would have brought that up by now...

I rather like disturbed but that was a bit average. The land of confusion cover is however ruddy awesome!
Taken by trees : Sweet child of mine is a rather lovely version.

How about some bonkers brass band action?

try this

That was crap. But for balance, here's Richard Cheese doing a cover of a disturbed song.
