WANT TO HEAR ATREYU BUTCHER A FAITH NO MORE SONG?

 Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 at 4:12pm by

Of course you do! Here’s Atreyu’s version of Faith No More’s “Epic” from Lead Sails Paper Anchor 2.0, the recently re-packaged and re-released plan to pillage their poor fans of all of their money album. The music isn’t so bad — in fact, it’s pretty much a tried and true copy of the original. But the vocals? Ugh. Someone please smack these guys in the jaw for me.

    36 Crazyfists is the only band I’ve heard do a decent FNM cover.

  • hotsauce

    You know I never really got into this band. I’ve heard maybe one song and it was on a bonus dvd that came with a Victory Record cd that I purchased. That song was kinda lame, this cover is really lame, I’m so happy to have saved some money on have never purchasing anything this band has ever put out.

    Well, there goes my lunch…

    Terrible~!!

  • cisco

    Couldn’t they try to make the song their own? I mean look at what Cash did with ‘Hurt’, Trent even said that the song is no longer his anymore. What am I griping about anyways, these guys suck, even if they did their own rendition it would blow hard.

  • anthony

    epic was on the original release of “leads sails”

  • dudemandude

    f this. seriously f this. if you want to get me angry bring up terrible covers like this. its not only insulting bc a shitty band is ripping off a good one, but is most aggravating bc shitty bands do this to mine a ‘hit’. F THIS! seriously, you take the only song by FNM ever to make the top 10 and decide to cover it. why? cause you cant write a single on your own. you couldnt pick any other FNM song?
    don’t get me wrong, even when a band i like does it i get pissed. sepultura covers U2? ok cool. Sepultura films a video of U2 and releases it as a single? F THAT! write your own damn single. alien ant farm, disturbed, limp bizkit (twice). F that. eat sht and die fckrs.

    Actually I thought it was a good cover. The vocals are very different, but in a good way. Why listen to a cover if its the same as the original?

  • sklives

    an obscure cover is always tastefull…this is total shit…shit shit shit shit

    Like Dave said – why listen to a cover if it’s the same as the original? Thing is… apart from the vocals, this one *is* the same as the original. As such, the vocals just sound crap. Now, if they’d made the music heavier to suit the vocals, that could really have worked.

  • Kye

    It’s still better than 90% of the rest of that album. Atreyu should’ve just stopped at The Curse.

    The only worse butchering of “Epic” I’ve ever heard is this one.

  • J.P.

    Ok, confession time, I always felt the curse wasn’t half bad. Fuck it, I actually thought Deathgrip had some moments.

    But this record is seriously troubling, and this so called “FNM cover” (I puked a lil’ when I said that) is revolting, the music’s dead on wich as previously mentioned, brings nothing new to the table hence making it unnecessary, but fuck dude, the vocals! the vocals! they are torture, and I fucking loved the Smashing Pumpkins!

    “WANT TO HEAR ATREYU BUTCHER A FAITH NO MORE SONG?”

    -no, no i don’t

  • Merta

    Screw Ateryu doing a cover on Faith No More. Has anyone seen Avril lavigne doing a cover on System of a Down’s Chop Suey? Fuck it made me want to kill that bitch. She fuck it up so bad, I would watch it at your own risk.

  • TedTedPoleyPoley

    the music suspiciously sounds exactly like the original (at least up to the time i stopped it), so it’s almost like a shitty karaoke session at best. fuck these guys, man.

  • Kye

    The difference is, Avril’s cover of Chop Suey was a joke…Atreyu take their covers pretty damn seriously. I’ve seen them 4 times now(the majority of which were before they released Deathgrip and Lead Sails…aka, when they were good), and they ALWAYS play You Give Love a Bad Name.

  • amy

    i feel like i’m always harping on this point, but: if you are some wanker band, you aren’t entitled to do any cover you want. you don’t get to piggyback through association on fnm/whomever’s success. y’know, just cuz you suck donkey dicks and have no way to market your band. esp with a band like fnm, whose fans would never lavish goodwill on a suck-ass excuse for a band like atreyu.

  • maggot07

    i heard this on the radio the other day and was instatnly pumped to hear epic while i then miliseconds later realized “this isnt Faith No More”
    i was pissed
    this version fucking sucks large fat cocks similar to the members of atreyu

  • ZapBranigan

    The best Faith No More cover is “Zombie Eaters” by Il Nino featuring Chino. That song is fucking rad.

  • J.P.

    Ok second confession.

    I liked the Bon Jovi cover… probably ‘cuz im not a Bon Jovi fan.

  • http://www.last.fm/user/Richaod Richaod

    Lol, half-screamo rap.

    Their cover of Bon Jovi’s You Give Love A Bad Name is much worse/more ridiculous.

  • http://cultclassicmoviereview.blogspot.com You Don’t Know Me

    this butchering of “Epic” makes baby Jesus cry.

  • Rob

    Didn’t see this mentioned, but I’m pretty sure it’s Suffocation who does a killer version if Digging The Graves.

  • defender of the faith

  • defender of the faith

  • Mike’s Patron

    Ok, I want my 1min and 33secs back please that I wasted on this crappy ass cover…

  • Eric

    My head hurts. That was the single most defiling thing a band could do!
