Wow, this is awful. Nine Inch Nails is my all time favorite band, and this version is just plain awful. Though I don’t know what’s worse, Linkin Park covering this song, or the comments people left saying that this is better than the original. Also they can’t even play it right. It’s atrocious people!!!

Worst Cover Songs: Zac Brown Band (Rage Against The Machine)- Killing In the Name Of

Oh jeez here we go again. What and Why? Not to mention they have a fiddle. I was laughing pretty hard when I found this version. The one positive thing I can say is, actually nothing. This is pretty bad.

Worst Cover Songs: Five Finger Death Punch (The Animals)- House Of The Rising Sun

I have no idea why some bands insist on covering such classic songs, only to ruin them in the end. Not to mention when the band in question covering the song is horrible. With that in mind I present to you all a horrible rendition of The Animal’s classic “House Of The Rising Sun” done by an absolutely horrible band, Five Finger Death Punch.

Worst Cover Songs: Dillinger Escape Plan (Guns N Roses)- My Michelle

As much as I like sharing good cover songs, I can’t get enough of presenting you with horrible covers. This one is right up there among the worst I’ve heard.  I am a fan of The Dillinger Escape Plan, but this is just ridiculous. Take a listen to them destroy Guns N Roses song “My Michelle.”

Worst Cover Songs: Sevendust (LL Cool J)- Goin Back To Cali

I really like Sevendust. They have released some really great albums and songs. One thing I noticed throughout their career is that they hardly ever release covers. Back in the early 2000’s there was a compilation album of hard rock/metal bands covering hip hop songs. Sevendust would pick LL Cool J’s “Goin Back To Cali.” As much as I like Sevendust, I can’t help but think how bad this is.

Worst Cover Songs: Adema (Alice In Chains)- Nutshell

I love Alice In Chains. They are in my top 2 favorite bands of all time right behind Nine Inch Nails. Anytime I hear a cover of one of their songs I have to listen. no matter how bad it is. A few years back when Adema was popular (remember that?), they released an EP that had a cover of Alice In Chains “Nutshell.” Well I forgot about it until last night and now I feel compelled to share it with you.

Worst Cover Songs: Spineshank (The Beatles)- While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I remember the first time I heard Spineshank’s version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” from their first album Strictly Diesel. I was absolutely mortified. And this is coming from someone who isn’t much of a Beatles fan at all. I’d also like to mention that I really do like Spineshank. Especially their albums The Height Of Callousness and Self Destructive Pattern, but this is just bad! So without wasting anymore time writing anything, take a listen and you’ll hear why this is one of the worst covers ever.
