EBS_freak Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 What songs do you think should never be covered as you would never be able to do them justice...? With all these pap covers arriving in the charts... which songs do you hope never get covered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacko Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 No-one should ever try to cover any of the chili peppers numbers. It just doesn't work. I've also never heard a decent cover of Sweet Home Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Anything with originality, do it again in a completely different original style. Strip to song back to the vocal line and build it back up. It helps if you don't really know the original so you won't be influenced.

The_D Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I should probably go and hide then We do Mustang sally (the girls love it and someone ALWAYS asks for it), Teenage kicks and under the bridge. We also do Sweet Home Alabama! Give the drunken public what they want is my view. I think a few on this list are songs band members dont want to do. Not what bands are incapable of doing justice. None of the above are difficult to reproduce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
