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

I can't condone violence but in this instance you have my full support. Those two covers Paul Young and UB40 deserve prison sentences.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑18 Oct 2019, 7:44pmI have two fists, so I could punch both of you at the same time.

Re: Worst Cover Ever
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.
