Why do people flip out over covers?
    #18787488 - 09/01/13 10:27 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

hypothetical scenario: A well known classic from the 70's or 80's or 90's or whenever gets covered by a newer band. Many die hard fanatics of original recording flip out. Why?

The same phenomenon seems to happen when movies are remade. Why?

Are the originals sacred? I thought imitation is the highest form of flattery but perhaps that isn't true. Perhaps it simply signifies lack of originality and a raping of a sacred symbol.

Because then shit like this happens.. :rofl:

:shrug: in reality I dunno.. No one's making anyone listen to the horrible covers. I tend to be more bewildered by them. "How can someone fuck it up that bad?" "Can't they hear themselves?" "What made them think they could pull that off...?" is the type of shit that runs through my head when I hear a horrible cover.

I still laugh at the Papa Roach one.. The way he does the chorus is hilarious. Probably mostly because I can picture my brother doing that exact thing to sarcastically mock someone, but that's Papa Roach's actual attempt at covering the song.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I like covers that are a funny or different take on the original song. If you're just going to try to duplicate the original, why bother? I'm not sure why people would be upset about the very existence of shitty covers, OCD maybe? If you don't want to listen to it, don't.
