Please could you not say 'wow, just wow'. 'Wow' would have sufficed.
Thanks, just thanks.

I always cringe a little when someone says "wow-just wow"

Disturbed do some dreadful covers. Also all their original songs are pretty poor. Brothers other half loves them - so been subjected more than a few times.

That's the trouble with post-modernism....

Lasted 90 seconds.

Amazingly OTT production vs amazingly underwhelming nasal baritone from the singer.

We are not amazed.

Well luckily you don't have to bear our opinions in mind OP. Play what you enjoy! You would probably think most of what I enjoy is crap. 😉

What he said, not everyone will like it (or in this case no-one) but you do, which is nice.

To be fair if this was a 10 year younger me I may have liked it.

'Wow, just wow'... means.

This must be REALLY good. (Otherwise you will be embarrassing yourself)

This is eine kleine aufzugsmusik at best.

I really do worry about the people on this site sometimes.

Nope sorry, if the original is very good you have to do something different to get a wow from me.

Thats just not even a very good cover IMO.

Pfft I don't care. Just had my taste in music questioned on a new Spotify shared playlist we're playing in the office.

Nothing wrong with a bit of Disturbed followed by Sleaford Mods, Moby, Bowie, Sabbath, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Wagner, Adele, Motorhead...

🙂

ha ha - yeah, I try not to add too much to them as people give me funny looks when it’s all odd Eurythmics tracks and Frankie Goes to Hollywood etc..

This is a WoW, just WoW cover of Nivana's Stay Away off Nevermind. Partly because it's almost completely indistinguishable from the original.

I just want to see what happens if you pull on those bits of metal in his chin.

(but from a distance!!)

I love disturbed. Well, I don't like their music but David Draiman's good value. Kerrang magazine front cover: "Don't call me mad" says Mad Davey Draiman

Definitely. Quite ironic that the OP should like a cover of "The Sound of Silence" which is being belted out by someone who in the words of the Big Yin ..."sounds like a goose farting in the fog".

Boy1 was extolling it's virtue last night. Wasn't impressed when The Wife played him the original. They have also covered Genesis - Land of Confusion. TBH it wasn't terrible. Proof you can polish a turd.

OP,

No, it's not ... Wow ...

It's shite!

Utter shite!

It's painful to the ears and to hear ...

Why get so excited over a cover.

You have lousy music taste!

Pah, you need the Lounge Kittens covering Steel Panther.

NSFW. Contains rude words and suggestive images.

Meh!, didn't like his throaty attempt at a powerful vocal delivery but if you like it then my response to the track in no way invalidates your musical taste - we all like different stuff etc…etc..

I imagine not many folk would enjoy what i'm listening to at the moment - Lubomyr Melnyk - Ripples in a Water Stream

Pukes then wanders off to see if his brother still has a cassette of "Sounds of Violence" by Arthur Sproat & the Roving Skullwaggers *

* long since gone band covering S & G stuff, nothing on google neither, my favourite was always "Showroom Bound" 🙂

Sounds like a fairly poor cover of Anthony & The Johnsons covering S&G.
Just dull, really, brings nothing new to the party.
I [i]love[/i] a good cover, I'm gradually putting together a covers playlist in iTunes, but I keep finding new ones; this, I'm afraid, won't be on it.
