I agree with this list with one exception: Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit. I always thought the original was a good song but the solo in the middle was REALLY out of place. The Limp Bizkit version keeps the flow of the song in a haunting, moody way and I really like it. It's one of the few Limp Bizkit songs I actually like (other than "Stuck" from their first album). Good list otherwise, though! - The Innkeeper

[@Unitenotfight]

If I'm being completely honest, Limp Bizkit's cover was pretty freakin' good. I even love the speak n spell segment and it's actually one of my favorite parts. To be even more "completely honest", it's probably my favorite song by Limp Bizkit in general. It's moody, deep without trying to be too deep, catchy, well mixed, and just easy to listen to. Idk how this ended up on the list.

[@Anthoberries]

Agreed on all points

[@mervannear603]

Yeah same.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

If I'm being completely honest I have to say that you have shit taste as it is by far the worst cover on this list.

[@SirLightsOut99]

I've got mixed opinions on it personally. I don't hate it as much as other people do, and frankly I have a little bit of nostalgic attachment to it because kid me enjoyed it and kid me didn't really know any better. However, the only reason I see it as being all right is because it's somebody else's song. Yeah it's kind of deep and it's not super try hard, but that's because the who already did all the work. Fred durst just copied it. The speak and spell part is the point of contention for me, because on one hand I kind of want to know what it would sound like if limp Bizkit had gone with the songs original layout where it sped up halfway through with a completely different verse structure. On the other hand, I am so glad they didn't do that.

[@shutup8321]

Thank you lol I love that song

[@Zomdra]

Honestly, I like Limp Bizkit's Behind Blue Eyes well enough. Admittedly I heard it before the original which probably helps but I personally think Durst's vocals on it are perfectly fine and while I understand why the speak-n-spell thing and overall production are hated they really didn't bother me much. I do wonder how much of the hate for it just comes from the pre-existing poor reputation of Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit rather than the quality of the song in and of itself.

[@CantonDem13]

Nah. I'm ambivalent about Limp Bizkit. I *do* love The Who, so that does color my opinion. That said, Durst just sounds kind of whiny in the cover. Technically fine, okay, but boring. This is the song of a sensitive, angry guy, which Daltrey (a hard act to follow, I know) gets across so perfectly in the original. Re-imagining a song can be great. But Limp Bizkit and Fred Durst neutered this one. Also, this cover's bridge is unforgivable, so...

[@seansweeney3365]

The quality of the arrangement and the delivery of the vocals are quite bland.

I didn't dislike it either. There truly were some great LB songs. I know it's cool to hate them, but they're a wonderful memory of my teen years.

Yeah maybe it sounds limp (yes I went there) compared to The Who, but so much of that song is in the words as an instrument. He got that part down.

Graveyard Classics 2 was a full cover of Back in Black (yes, the entire album)...and AC/DC got it LEGALLY BANNED FROM BEING PHYSICALLY AND DIGITALLY DISTRIBUTED DUE TO HOW MUCH THEY HATED IT. I don't think Six Feet Under has released another AC/DC cover after that, too. That could be a coincidence or Barnes just not getting around to covering them again, but I would not be surprised to learn that Barnes got told by someone in the AC/DC camp that he will never be given permission to cover their stuff ever again after that.

[@samanthafairweather9186]

Why would Six Feet Under think that was ok? I'm so glad that AC/DC were able to stop this from happening. I mean, The would've been done for copyright in the LEAST! Did they really think that they could release an album, which was the work of someone else, change the name of the album, then claim it as their own? These guys must be insanely stupid to them no they'd get away with it! Not only that, but as we can see, if they did this song so badly, you can only imagine how much they butchered the rest of the songs. Back In Black is the best selling album by an Australian rock band in the world! And deservedly so. So , for these morons to basically butcher such a rock classic, WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM AC/DC, is absolutely disrespectful!

I showed the Wes Scantlin cover to my friend who's a classically trained singer. She hadn't heard the original About a Girl or any song by Puddle of Mudd before, so I wanted her feedback. And I quote her: she said, "I was cringing the entire time" and, "Someone needs to take voice lessons."

Limp Bizkit cut the best part of Behind Blue Eyes out. That's such a classic. I love the Who's version. The heavy part at the end should of been where Bizkit kicked it up and they totally cut it out. Definitely massacring a classic.

[@dustinreynolds4975]

I don’t care what any simpleton says… “Simple Man” by Shinedown may be the single worst cover I’ve ever heard. The original Skynyrd song is damn near perfection. It really moves people emotionally. Shinedown took that song and diluted the instrumental aspect and just gave the overbearing ‘in your face’ (ears) vocals and made it ridiculous. It pisses me off that so many people think that the cover is actually GOOD. I was almost offended the first time I heard that song. It’s terrible. It’s on par with Tim Burton’s remake of “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.” It’s just complete garbage and never should have been redone.

Aside from the vocals, if you've even heard of guitar, you can't fuck up about a girl. The verse is two chords, the, I don't know what you call the, "I'll take advantage while.."part, pre-chorus maybe? But that's only three chords. Then three more to get back to the verse. He might've been high.

I actually really love Limp Bizkit’s version of Behind Blue Eyes 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@mr.brightside_]

same!

[@henrygvidonas9573]

The entire musical point of "Behind Blue Eyes" is the acoustic-guitar-and-vocals buildup to the "when my fist clenches, crack it open, before I use it and lose my cool" part when the entire band "explodes" into the recording. That's not only the climax of the song (even though it's technically a "bridge"), it's also the first thing Pete Townshend wrote for it and built the rest of the song around it, musically and lyrically. It's the part that Flaccid Pastry ignores completely and replaces with robot farts. They missed the entire point, the entire concept of the composition. They could not have failed any harder.

Both Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes and 5FDP - Gone Away hits me on a deeper emotional level than the originals does, and that, for me, makes them great covers.

You chose to include "Behind Blue Eyes" by Limp Bizkit and overlooked their cover of "Faith"? "Faith" was the song that got Limp Bizkit through to the mainstream -- had it not broken through, we might not have had to put up with the band at all. The point is, yes, "Behind Blue Eyes" wasn't a good cover -- but "Faith" was worse and, had it never been noticed, a lot of nu metal mess would have been avoided. It's for that reason "Faith" is the more unfortunate cover.
