U2 Remake of All Along the Watchtower

[Medicine Bear]

Why ruin such a great song? This is bad, bad, bad!! "The Edge" sounds awful on guitar and Bono is just destroying the vocals. Ugh!

 

[Red Dawn]

Is it as God awful as Dave Mathews version?

 

[NutBucket]

Uh...didn't this cover come out in the mid 80's?

 

[broon]

Have you heard of that new band called Poison?

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

:thumbsdown: for Alanis Morrissette's cover of "Crazy" by Seal. Geez, it was like a bad Duran Duran parody or something.

 

[nakedfrog]

I consider myself fortunate never to have heard it.

U2 = SUCK

I don't know why some bands feel they need to destroy good songs. It just saddens me.

No kidding. U2's remake of Gloria didn't even sound like the real one. They didn't even do G-L-O-R-I-A Glooooooria in it. Sheesh.

Amen. Why can't people just leave well enough alone? Hendrix is certainly more than well-enough.

Umm Hendrix didn?t write the song, he just covered it.

Personally I like SRV's version of Little Wing more than the Hendrix one.

I like Sting's cover better than SRV's.

Never heard that tool's version. First time I had heard the U2 version. Radio station was playing it while I was at lunch. It was a live recording and was bad. Kept listening just to try and figure out who was slaughtering the song. Finally after it was over the DJ said it was U2. I can't begin to describe how bad it was.

No. DMB is worse.

A statement that was as true in 1981 as it is now.

If bob Dylan were dead he'd be spinning in his grave. As it is he's just pissed that Tom Petty is slowing turning into him.

 

[meltdown75]

there should be certain artists protected by legislation prohibiting remakes of their songs.

Hendrix is definitely among them.

 

[Analog]

I think Hendrix' version is better than the original Dylan.

Uhh... he covered that song...

 

[nakedfrog]

I don't know that I've ever even heard Dylan's version. There must be a good reason for that.
