Title: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: Oasis1 on August 24, 2011, 09:27:36 AM Number 4: Sheryl Crowe, Sweet Child O' Mine Big Daddy isn't one of Adam Sandler's most well-remembered movies. It isn't a classic like Billy Madison or Airheads, and it isn't despised like Little Nicky. It's somewhere in the middle, in the same ballpark as Mr. Deeds. Sheryl Crow recorded a cover of "Sweet Child O' Mine" for the soundtrack and rock fans really, really hated it. Axl has never commented on it, but he probably hates it too. He's a hard man to please. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/photos/rolling-stone-readers-choose-the-worst-cover-songs-of-all-time-20110818/4-sheryl-crow-sweet-child-of-mine-0311550 Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: Liquor & Whores on August 24, 2011, 09:52:21 AM on the other hand the re-recorded part of SCOM for the Big Daddy soundtrack is absolutely great
I mean this (instrumental) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIGxGMC78bg Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: Loaded NightraiN on August 24, 2011, 12:23:52 PM I think if AXl hated it he would not have allowed it, or even debuted new guns during the same movie
But yeah its awful Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: russtcb on August 24, 2011, 03:12:01 PM Number 4: Sheryl Crowe, Sweet Child O' Mine Big Daddy isn't one of Adam Sandler's most well-remembered movies.

I cannot stand her version of that tune. Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: DeN on August 24, 2011, 04:21:29 PM so I'm the only one who loves it.
Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: Loaded NightraiN on August 24, 2011, 04:38:35 PM so I'm the only one who loves it. Ummm Yes.... Yes Sir Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: russtcb on August 24, 2011, 05:06:49 PM so I'm the only one who loves it. I don't mind her cover of Zeppelin's D'yer M'ker, but I just can't get with her cover of SCoM. Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: Silex on August 24, 2011, 05:33:34 PM "He's a hard man to please." Funny how even in the news like these, the press has to say something negative about Axl. :hihi: Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: jarmo on August 24, 2011, 05:50:26 PM "He's a hard man to please."

Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: willow on August 24, 2011, 07:11:42 PM I like some of her stuff but I never really liked it. I guess basically I didn't like it cause its a little strange hearing it sung for a child instead of a lover. lol

I guess basically I didn't like it cause its a little strange hearing it sung for a child instead of a lover. lol I just remembered another cover of hers that's great. She did a version of Rod Stewart's The First Cut Is The Deepest that was excellent. But I just can't get over how bad SCoM was. Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: Boromir on August 25, 2011, 06:17:12 AM I love it too : ok:

Amazing. Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: babydolls on August 25, 2011, 07:17:16 AM hated that version. Have yet to hear any GnR song covered by a female vocalist that I do like tbh. For example much as I like Courtney - Hole's PC cover was not good. Something less obvious might work, in the vein of Tori Amos covering Smells like Teen Spirit, maybe. maybe not.

Granted, thats prob one of the better female vocal on a Guns song I've heard, it was an ok cover, though it sounded more dated than the original song! At least they went for it though and I can imagine it going down well live too She has a good rock voice. Sorry LIGuns, those three singers in your post are perfect examples of the covers I really did not enjoy. each to his own though : ok: Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: ianlei on August 26, 2011, 07:27:23 AM I realise the thread is more about well known female artists, so i hope this isn't off topic, but i'm really liking this cover at the moment - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvzwqab4liI&feature=related
(I hope you like it Julia!!).

He's a hard man to please. This statement made me laugh. There is no way to know how Axl feels, if he hasn't publically spoke about it. Strange that they would say this, but I do agree that the cover is poor.

Something less obvious might work, in the vein of Tori Amos covering Smells like Teen Spirit, maybe. maybe not. I thought Hole's cover of Paradise City was a joke, wasn't it? Doesn't she hate Axl/GNR? Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: Loaded NightraiN on September 14, 2011, 03:01:56 PM hated that version.

No, she's oddly obsessed w/ axl nowadays Title: Re: Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time Post by: One.In.A.Million on September 18, 2011, 02:02:15 PM I personally can't stand anyone covering a GN'R song, especially if the person tries to change it into a completely different rhythm and tempo/style. On a positive contrast to that, I fuckin LOVE the newly recorded SCOM which appears in this film, and that instrumental posted earlier in the thread is just heaven. Now that is a way to smash a GN'R song, by not changing it too much, and completely making it your own, as did the GN'R of 1999 did do, they absolutely owned it. ;D
Robin's solo is so powerfull, and full of feeling. I would kill to hear all of this song, with all of the interludes, intro and full solo as well... :love: |
