Lately I've noticed a lot of these new rock groups destroying classic songs. Latest two terrible examples that make me want to ice pick my ear drums.

Although Metallica's "Turn the Page" is not as good as Seger's, it's still pretty good.
Yeah they're not all bad. Definitely hit and miss.
Used to listen to All That Remains a lot. Not so much anymore.
Felt like they should of added a heavier part in that song to add their own touch. Just same tone over and over.
Off the top of my head, covers that were done well, and not mentioned:
Johnny Cash, Hurt
Orgy, Blue Monday
Seether, Careless whisper
Nirvana, Lake of Fire(Live)
Manson, Personal Jesus
Killswitch Engage, Holy Diver

They didn't destroy a great song like the other two I posted.
I can even deal with Avenged 7x's cover of Wish you were here.
I am a Seether fan & a big Veruca Salt fan, but I do not like Seether's cover of Seether
There are a lot of cover bands out there that are bad. But, I have a lot I love that perform the song better than the original.
It's an art form with a fine edge. Taking too much or too little from the original can make or break it - especially if it's across major genres.
I did a cover 6 years ago and looking back, it was awful. I tried to turn a classic song into a shred piece and while it sounds cool, it was too much of a departure from the original and lost its essence.

Well there's your problem... two awful bands.

Sad to say, but I think Nirvana did a better version of this song than Bowie.
The one that pisses me off the most is the that War Pigs cover that sounds almost identical to the original but they added annoying ass siren noises to it. IDK who sings it but they always play it on my local radio station for some reason
Much rather they try to honor without incorporating everything from the original, then again some songs just don’t transition well between genres I suppose. This was always one of my favs.
I cant stand either of those 2 new covers but dear lord do they play the shit out of them on Sirius.
Cant get to it right now but I like the cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps by Spine Shank and cant remember if is Virgos or Virgos Merlot cover of Maybe I'm Amazed

Spine Shank did do a good cover
Deftones are pretty much good at everything they do. They'll be the band in The Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in 20 years that no one ever heard of.
I listened to both back to back and I find that I love both versions for different reasons. Kobain puts more feeling into the song and Bowie just rocks the song.
