311's cover of The Cure's "Love Song"

[kyparrish]

Have you heard 311 cover this song? IMO, it's a great cover.

Anybody know of any legal online music stores to buy this from? Can't find it on iTunes.

Eh...It's okay. I hear it quite a bit on a local radio station here.

311's cover of The Clash's White Man in Hammersmith Palais (wtf kind of name of a song is that) is a fvcking awesome song.. The Clash's recordings were crappy quality.. 311 nailed it hard.

There are some good covers, and then ther are some bad covers.

I think the 311 cover falls into the bad category.

They killed it... by playing it 1000 times a day.

all time worst cover song: sheryl crow covering zeppelin's "D'yer Mak'er"....somebody shoot me

anyway, i don't know why i like this 311 cover so much, probably because i love the original version so much, and feel like this version is a good interpretation

Yeah they started playing it about a week before "50 First Dates" started showing... now its all over the place. Nice song though... 311 and The Cure couldn't sound any more alike.
