From Autumn To Ashes - "Let's Have A War" [Original Artist: Fear]

Rise Against - "Fix Me" [Original Artist: Black Flag]

This is part of the soundtrack to the new Tony Hawk game and I am ready to get pissed. They took some of the best songs from some of the best bands of 80's hardcore punk and are having the worst of the worst of todays pop-punk cover them (with the exceptions of sucking being Thursday, Rise Against, and like one or two others which are great bands but shouldnt be doing this any way.) The band that really got me pissed was My Chemical Romance covering the Misfits and Fall Out Boy covering Gorilla Biscuits, and to top it off that is my favorite Misfits song and My Chemical Romance is my most hated band. If anyone else is pissed feel free to vent in here. I wish we could do as Fear say and "Lets Have A War" with those slimebag bands.:angry: :evil: :angry:

[cuts_like_drugs]

Fall Out Boy - "Start Today" [Original Artist: Gorilla Biscuits]


Everytime I see/think about this, a small child dies.

all of those bands suck, with the exception of Thursday.

[RetiredAt21]

I like Taking Back Sunday.

Look at it this way guys, it could have been worse, much worse. Picture this...

From First To Last - Firestorm

[SubtleDagger]

I like Taking Back Sunday.

Look at it this way guys, it could have been worse, much worse. Picture this...

From First To Last - Firestorm
Hawthorne Heights - Nervous Breakdown
Avenged Sevenfold - Straight Edge

[RetiredAt21]

Hahahahaha.

[SubtleDagger]

I like Thursday, Rise Against, and Thrice of course.

Saves The Day are decent but those kids are just too nice to be playing any old-school hardcore.

[RetiredAt21]

I really tried to get into Thursday but I couldn't. I'm not sure what it is about them that I dislike so much, but I just can't get into them.

[SubtleDagger]

They're really, really simplistic. I can play most of their guitar parts with my eyes closed. Hell, I could make some new Thursday songs up with my eyes closed probably.

It doesn't bother me for some reason. But still, they're not the best candidates for covering influential hardcore songs.

[RetiredAt21]

I know I got really intrigued and wanted to hear them after reading a guitar magazine that was ranting and raving about how good the guitarists are. Then I heard it and I was like "wtf?" And the singer's voice really got on my nerves. They have some pretty good lyrics though.

[SubtleDagger]

The thought of TBS covering those Descendents songs is just unimaginable. I can't even grasp what that would sound like.

I'm not saying it's bad, just that I'm unable to comprehend the result in any way.

[RetiredAt21]

I like TBS, so I'd like to think they sound good, but I haven't heard them yet. To be completely honest, I have a feeling they suck.

[SubtleDagger]

I'm honestly tempted to download these just to see how big of a travesty some of them managed to be.

http://www.myspace.com/tonyhawksamericanwasteland

Nevermind.

Have a gander.

[RetiredAt21]

Hahaha, I like that redone London Calling thing. That looks so stupid.

[SubtleDagger]

It reminds me of that Major Threat garbage we dealt with like two months back with Nike.

EDIT: Actually, that was like the beginning of this year. D'oh.

[RetiredAt21]

Hahaha, yeah! I remember that.

These songs aren't QUITE as bad as I was expecting, but jeez, they could have done better.

[albert_bass]

Actually, those covers are not that bad. If only they had put more new elements into them...

[cuts_like_drugs]

The Fall Out Boy cover is bad. very very very bad. bad bad bad.

[bottlerocket]

Everytime I see/think about this, a small child dies.

all of those bands suck, with the exception of Thursday.

Saves the Day is amazing, too...and old TBS is pretty cool.

[ICB]

Senses Fail covered "Institutionalized"? That's just...bad. :lol:

[RetiredAt21]

It is bad. REAL bad.

[El_Shiznit]

Of course this is the 30th thread on this subject.

[Berserker!]

Wow, I hadn't heard about this until a month ago!

[Shikyo]

I haven't listened to any of them yet... but the Fall Out Boy cover makes me very very angry.

I probably won't listen to any of the covers but there's one thing that I'm wondering... why didn't they just put the original songs in the game?

[RetiredAt21]

They would have been better off putting the originals in the game. MUCH better off.

[A_Perfect_Sonnet]

The covers appeal more to the "scene video game skater" crowd. I guess I'm really trying to say moronic posers with awful taste in music.

[RetiredAt21]

I'll agree with that.

[A_Perfect_Sonnet]

Read the site and look at all the myspacers sucking Senses Failed's dick. I wouldn't have been as mad if MCR weren't covering a Misfits song back before Jerry Only was milking the band name (back when they were making damn fine music.)

[Billy]

Oct 4, 2005 12:40 AM

**** you man senses fail is one of THE MOST amazing bands on earth in my opinion they made it better i coudlnt give a rats *** about the others but senses fail deffinetly made Institutionalied better

Wow.

[A_Perfect_Sonnet]

LOLZ! S3nze5 F@1lEdZ0rszz?!!! TEH BEST BAND EVAR! 4 Chorzd!!! W)0ww!!

Yeah, so who else can play their songs blindfolded (besides Burton)?

[Luxor]

Haha, nice.

The first Tony Hawk game got me into punk/pop-punk. Dead Kennedy's, Millencolin, Lagagon... good times.

[RetiredAt21]

I was so into Lagwagon and Millencolin at one point. They are still good bands.

[Luxor]

I was so into Lagwagon and Millencolin at one point. They are still good bands.
Classic pop-punk bands.

[OI! to the World!]

Senses Fail covered "Institutionalized"? That's just...bad. :lol:


oh my god it was the worst thing that has ever come to my ears.

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah, they're mad good.

Lagwagon and Millencolin

[Tyler]

LOLZ! S3nze5 F@1lEdZ0rszz?!!! TEH BEST BAND EVAR! 4 Chorzd!!! W)0ww!!

Yeah, so who else can play their songs blindfolded (besides Burton)?
I can play 2308538052 hardcore songs blindfolded too...doesn't make them not good.

Not that Senses Fail is good. And the Institutionalized cover sucked.

TBS's Descendents covers were really good.

[NewKindofArmy03]

And the Institutionalized cover sucked.

I didn't think so, it sounded too much like the original to suck.

[Tyler]

I didn't think so, it sounded too much like the original to suck.
It just sounds lame if its not Mike Muir doing it.

[Converge]

I like some of those bands...but their style..with the band they're coverings style..HAHAHAH



Fall Out Boy - "Start Today" [Original Artist: Gorilla Biscuits]

:(

/dies

[Rise Me Up]

i haven't listened yet, but I'm sure Thursday ruined the Buzzcoks song. :(

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Too bad Thursday is the best band on there.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Saves the Day

[Rise Me Up]

Too bad Thursday is the best band on there.


I like DKM and Rise Against out of those.


EDIT: and to threadstarter, up teh TN punX.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Haven't listened to this in a long time.

EDIT-Wrong thread, haha. I thought I was in the radio thread.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Wow......

[S.T.I]

TBS's Descendents covers were really good.

I thought this was about the only decent cover on the album. The others are just weak.

[Tyler]

I love DKM and Adolescents but that cover sucked.

[whiteminority]

Of course this is the 30th thread on this subject.

Wow, I hadn't heard about this until a month ago!

sorry dudes but its the first i heard and i felt it important to talk about it.

[whiteminority]

Too bad Thursday is the best band on there.
truth

[OI! to the World!]

suicidal tendencies was the worst the tsol cover was 2nd

[chips88]

I like Thursday, Rise Against, and Thrice of course.

Saves The Day are decent but those kids are just too nice to be playing any old-school hardcore.

Saves the Day used to be on a bunch of hardcore covers. In The Ups and Downs, Chris says that onetime they had a phonenumber of theirs in one of them, and they got like hate mail because of it, because they really weren't hardcore. Sort of funny.

[Tyler]

Saves The Day used to play shows with hardcore bands all the time...and their earlier records were hardcore influenced.

[cbmartinez]

Not really.

[Tyler]

Ya Rly!

[Tjebby]

The Fall Out Boy cover wasn't THAT bad. It wasn't good or anything. And if you know anything about them, you could see how its fitting for them.

[cbmartinez]

Ya Rly!

nah :p

[NewKindofArmy03]

Not really.
He's right. Just put on Can't Slow Down.

[cbmartinez]

Bleh, there's not enough in there to call it hardcore influence.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

That is reeeeeally stretching it Bob, you know that. Just because they played with hardcore bands and everyone says they are hardcore influenced doesn't mean they sound like a hardcore band.

[NewKindofArmy03]

Well the opening track(Deciding) sounds like hardcore with pop-punk vocals.

And he said influence, not that they sound like one.

[cbmartinez]

That is reeeeeally stretching it Bob, you know that. Just because they played with hardcore bands and everyone says they are hardcore influenced doesn't mean they sound like a hardcore band.

Word.

[Lazybassplr56]

They also have original songs on the game. Just block out the songs you dont like while playing the game.

[cuts_like_drugs]

The Fall Out Boy cover wasn't THAT bad. It wasn't good or anything. And if you know anything about them, you could see how its fitting for them.

....
I had to pop into the lavy to chunder after the fag singer went "Start!" in some faggish poser scream. It's truley awful man.:mad:

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Nah, not really.

[OI! to the World!]

nah its pretty bad.

[El_Shiznit]

I give it a 6/10.

Expecting a 3. It wasn't bad, had it been original, but comparing it to the original, it's a disappointment.

[Oz Rembrandt]

Covering the Descendents?

Thats wrong. Plain Wrong.

[TakeWarning]

My thoughts:

Senses Fail - "Institutionalized" [Original Artist: Suicidal Tendencies] Bad vocals ruined the song.

My Chemical Romance - "Astro Zombies" [Original Artist: Misfits] ewwww

Saves the Day - "Sonic Reducer" [Original Artist: Dead Boys] I liked it, but it gets owned by the original.

Thrice - "Seeing Red" and "Screaming at a Wall" [Original Artist: Minor Threat] Boringgggg.

The Bled - "House of Suffering" [Original Artist: Bad Brains] Pretty much just the same.

Fall Out Boy - "Start Today" [Original Artist: Gorilla Biscuits] Horrible. Even Fall Out Boy fans from school agree with me. They ruined a classic.

Thursday - "Ever Fallen In Love" [Original Artist: Buzzcocks] I liked it better than the original.

Rise Against - "Fix Me" [Original Artist: Black Flag]
Pretty good.

[cobert]

Out of all of those bands, Thursday/Taking Back Sunday/Saves the Day are good.

Like said before, i cant even think of what the TBS cover would sound like. I ust cant picture it in my head, it seems like an odd band to cover a descendents song. Ill need to check out the game and listen to them all, its an interesting idea (to have covers), but probably poorly executed.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

I'm honestly tempted to download these just to see how big of a travesty some of them managed to be.

http://www.myspace.com/tonyhawksamericanwasteland

Nevermind.

Have a gander.

I love their remake of "i like food." :lol:

[Brain Toad]

I actually thought most of the covers were quite good, except for the Fear and Dead Boys covers, none of them were that horrible.

I have the album on soulseek if anyone wants it.

[Storm In A Teacup]

I like Senses Fail and Rise Against, but other wise...




:shudders:

[whiteminority]

I like DKM and Rise Against out of those.


EDIT: and to threadstarter, up teh TN punX.
totally. im from maryville what part you from?

[TakeWarning]

I actually thought most of the covers were quite good, except for the Fear and Dead Boys covers, none of them were that horrible.

I have the album on soulseek if anyone wants it.

The Start Today cover has got to be one of the worst covers I've ever heard.

I'll hit you up on slsk for the album. What's your username?

[S.T.I]

The Fall Out Boy cover wasn't THAT bad. It wasn't good or anything. And if you know anything about them, you could see how its fitting for them.

Could you explain what you mean by fitting? My mate told me something before but i forgot.

[Dust Junky]

Death by Aphixiation to anyone who downs "The Bled", "Drop Kick Murphys and "From Autumn To Ashes"

[Brain Toad]

The Start Today cover has got to be one of the worst covers I've ever heard.

I'll hit you up on slsk for the album. What's your username?

Same as here.

I didn't mind the Start Today cover, but I don't like GB much anyway.

[TakeWarning]

I didn't mind the Start Today cover, but I don't like GB much anyway.

Yeah, I know, still can't believe it though.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

I really don't see why you guys think Start Today was such a bad cover.

[TakeWarning]

I really don't see why you guys think Start Today was such a bad cover.

Because they took one of the best hardcore songs of all time and turned it into a crappy pop-punk song. The guy's voice is terrible on top of that.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

It really isn't terribly different.

[TakeWarning]

It really isn't terribly different.

Apart from the fact he completely ruined the vocals. And they made it sound too new-school.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Nah, still don't think it's that different.

I think most of you are just saying this because it's Fall Out Boy.

[Tjebby]

Could you explain what you mean by fitting? My mate told me something before but i forgot.
Fitting was a wrong word choice. But what I was meaning by it is two of the four members, or three I can't remember, they were all in a hardcore band before FOB. Gorilla Biscuits is one of their favorite bands.

Nah, still don't think it's that different.

I think most of you are just saying this because it's Fall Out Boy.

123. I thought it would be horrible, but it really wasn't. The fact that they threw out the harmonica bummed me out. The vocals are different, so what? Would you want a cover song to be sang the exact same way as the original?

[NewKindofArmy03]

Yeah, one thing I can appreciate about the Start Today cover is that they made it their own. Most of the bands tried way to hard to sound like the original and it just sounds forced.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Seriously, if you wanna hear the original Start Today, listen to the original Start Today.

[TakeWarning]

Nah, still don't think it's that different.

I think most of you are just saying this because it's Fall Out Boy.

I like Fall Out Boy. Well...kind of.

But what I was meaning by it is two of the four members, or three I can't remember, they were all in a hardcore band before FOB. Gorilla Biscuits is one of their favorite bands.


You don't happen to the know the name do you?

[RCVA]

My little brother's gonna get the game. It's going to be funny.

[whiteminority]

123. I thought it would be horrible, but it really wasn't. The fact that they threw out the harmonica bummed me out. The vocals are different, so what? Would you want a cover song to be sang the exact same way as the original?
i really dont want a band covering them.

[Tyler]

i really dont want a band covering them.
Well there's really nothing you can do about that is there?

[whiteminority]

Well there's really nothing you can do about that is there?
that doesnt stop the fact that i dont want something happening.

[Tyler]

that doesnt stop the fact that i dont want something happening.
What's wrong with it? Is it defiling their glorious name?

[whiteminority]

What's wrong with it? Is it defiling their glorious name?
it weakens the song itself.

[Tyler]

it weakens the song itself.
oh my

[cuts_like_drugs]

Nah, still don't think it's that different.

I think most of you are just saying this because it's Fall Out Boy.

and?

Also, the guys voice is horrid.

[40 oz 2 freedom]

Not really.

The guy had a poppy voice, so did Civ. FOB did a better job than any of those other bands would have done.

[REINER]

Anyone have these tracks they can send me?

Senses Fail - "Institutionalized"
My Chemical Romance - "Astro Zombies"
Saves the Day - "Sonic Reducer"
Thrice - "Seeing Red" and "Screaming at a Wall"
Fall Out Boy - "Start Today"

[emo_kid2071]

I happen to like My CheMical RoMance, From First to Last, Story of the year, and if people have a problem with emo kids they can go **** themselves!

[REINER]

Those bands aren't emo.

I found the ones I wanted except the Misfits cover.

Senses Fail cover - vocals sucked
Fall Out Boy cover - vocals sucked
Thrice - recording quality sucked, might have been a bad mp3

[NewKindofArmy03]

Thrice was one of the better ones.

[REINER]

Yeah, I liked it even though it sounded like any random punk/hardcore band covering them. Their's is the best I've heard so far.

[Lazybassplr56]

I thought Thursday's cover was pretty good.
