If you ever wondered what it would sound like if Fez from That 70s Show sang The Final Countdown:

Korn does a good cover of Pink Floyd:

First time I heard it I was laughing for a good hour. It's sooooooo bad. As a huge fan of death metal and someone who also definitely enjoys some AC/DC from time to time, I can tell you this is easily one of the worst things I've ever heard.
Wow, that's pretty bad. Thanks? :lol:

This may be worse, though:
Holy shit you're right :lol:

Opus original

Or their cover of One Vision as Geburt Einer Nation.
Queen original

I was really excited when I'd heard about Laibach doing something with a couple of Morbid Angel songs. Was pretty disappointed when it turned out it was just a couple of remixes.

I would've loved to hear Laibach actually cover of God of Emptiness.

oh! This band Dump (who is actually just James Mcnew from Yo La Tengo) recorded an entire album of Prince covers that's totally brilliant called That Skinny Motherfucker With the High Voice? Very recommended.

Not bad. Prefer the original by far, but not bad at all considering who Korn covered.

while on the subject of Korn, what about their cover of Ice Cube's "Wicked"?
