God only knows how high Dave was when he made this

In terms of the talent involved at both ends, that could be the worst cover of all time. :scared:

Yeah, a shit artist butchering a good song isn't all that surprising. A good artist butchering a good song is.

They could have their own thread for this but this is the worst by virtue of how often it is unfortunately played :angry:

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I can't condone violence but in this instance you have my full support. Those two covers Paul Young and UB40 deserve prison sentences.

Yeah, this one. Also, you should linked the actual video:


Live and Let Die cover isn't good, but I'll say I do kinda like the big metal bombast of it relative to the original.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

True, though it should have been left well alone.
