What are you listening to atm?

...you call ME emo (for listening to Dark Tranquility?), then turn around and give a thumbs up for Atreyu?

Someone grab a wrench to pull this kid's head out of his ass. It's been there for far too long.


Listening to: The REAL (and only) version of Creep!

It's obviously not the only version since there are many other versions of the song out there. I do enjoy Radiohead's version quite alot, but seeing others take on the song is fun, especially if it comes out pleasant.

Only version I recognize, due to the generally indulgent douchebaggyness that comes into play on every last rehash of the song.

I donno, personally there's some songs I consider sacred. Creep being one of them =).

All the "douchebaggyness" you hear from other covers are obviously in your head. While I understand there are some people that get so asshurt when other bands try to cover significant songs, it doesn't mean they're bad but they generally don't like them if Yorke isn't singing the tunes.


Anyways listening to Zerospace-Kidneythieves.

The version you posted, for instance, is a complete wreck of a revision. She doesn't have the voice to make the song her own to begin with, and she obviously let her ego beat whatever measure of talent she has.

Horrible choice of song for her vocal style, and I honestly see no reason why you would even enjoy such a lacking display. Come now --- I know your taste may be flawed, but it isn't shit.

Listening to: THAT.

That's what a cover is. They put his or her own style into the song while still remaining true to the lyrics and rhythm of the song.

And you can tell me my taste in music is flawed when you stop listening to Swedish pussy metal bands trying to nail In Flames leftovers.


Edit: Shit forgot to add, .

Dark Tranquility came into existence + relevance before In Flames. The idea that you're suggesting they're cleaning up after In Flames tanked it makes me wonder if you know anything about them beyond what Wikipedia told you in your two minute search. If anything, Dark Tranquility is working off of the scraps of Old Man's Child (another band you'll have to Wiki).

On bitchtits' version of Creep: She stayed true to the lyrics and rhythm, and that leaves you feeling content (if not utterly thrilled)? How about the tone she completely murdered, and the feel of the song which was entirely lost by her glorified, arthouse wannabe style?

Not only could her voice not handle the song, she ripped away any of the raw edge that made it such a ridiculous hit to begin with. The only thing 'raw' about her performance was her throat two minutes later.
