Durst's mutilation of "Behind Blue Eyes" is probably the moment when it became confirmed that the world hated him.
another one. I actually like Henry Rollins a lot, but...
Rollins Band - Ex Lion Tamer. He just can't pull off a Wire song, no matter how hard he tried. points for effort, though.

The first song of his/theirs I heard was the cover of "Sweet Dreams"--again, the band made a terrible song even worse. My brother and I heard it on the radio. We kept expecting the band to kick out the jams at the end, but that never happens. Instead, he does his best to sound "twisted" and "sinister." It's music for trench coat-wearing, Warhammer-playing, comic book-reading fifteen-year-old boys with nunchuks.

No, that's UYI:2. This is the one where GNR decided they were 'punk':
"Since I Don't Have You" - 4:19 (originally performed by The Skyliners)
"New Rose" - 2:38 (originally performed by The Damned)
"Down on the Farm" - 3:28 (originally performed by UK Subs)
"Human Being" - 6:48 (originally performed by The New York Dolls)
"Raw Power" - 3:11 (originally performed by The Stooges)
"Ain't It Fun" - 5:02 (originally performed by The Dead Boys)
"Buick Makane / Big Dumb Sex" - 2:39 ("Buick Makane" originally performed by T. Rex and "Big Dumb Sex" originally performed by Soundgarden)
"Hair of the Dog" - 3:54 (originally performed by Nazareth)
"Attitude" - 1:27 (originally performed by The Misfits)
"Black Leather" - 4:08 (originally performed by The Professionals) The album's liner notes however, credit this song to "Steve Jones/Sex Pistols"
"You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" 3:35 (originally performed by Johnny Thunders)
"I Don't Care About You" - 2:17 (originally by Fear)
Hidden track: "Look At Your Game Girl" - 2:34 (written by Charles Manson)
Man, GNR did some godawful covers. They did Aerosmith's "Mama Kin" too.

my band from high school has a pretty repulsive version of "a minute" that no one on here will be tormented with enduring.
still worth sharing in concept though.

Nothing at all redeemable about that band.
On the other hand:
Pegboy-Surrender
Done faithfully, and tastefully. A great cover.
