Korn rendition of Word Up is another awful song, but i don't like the original too
Limp Bizkit's cover of The Who is so absolutely fundamentally atrociously godawful that I can't even. I remember being a kid when it came out, and everyone around me thought it was just soooo good; they downloaded the original on limewire by a mistake and made fun of how old, lame, and "gay" it was, compared to the amazing Limp Bizkit version. The nu metal years—what a time to be alive.
i didn't know there was an original at first so I thought it was pretty good coming from limp bizkit
several years later i heard the original and holy shit, it's so much better
My god, i totally removed that cover from my mind, but as soon as i read this it instantly popped in my mind that terrible DJ-ing part that comes up instad of the bridge of the original one
Now i feel obliged to remind you all that they also covered Faith from Wham!
Also Disturbed covering Shout from Tears for Fears is another thing i'd happily remove from my ears.
