Rolling Stone's Worst Cover Songs of All Time

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.

I don't mind her cover of Zeppelin's D'yer M'ker, but I just can't get with her cover of SCoM.

Funny how even in the news like these, the press has to say something negative about Axl.

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 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.

Now they know what is in Axl's mind. Amazing.

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.

Cheers for that - hadnt heard it. 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

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 -

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.
