VERY LIKELY THE WORST METALLICA COVER I’VE EVER HEARD

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 at 11:30am by Axl Rosenberg

I don’t know who you are, Stefanie Heinzmann, but give yourself a big ol’ pat on the back. You’ve managed to make Avril Lavigne look like Chuck Schulinder. I’d rather listen to Attack Attack! cover Katy Perry, fer Chrissakes.

I’m saying this sucks.

MS Maniac Charlie Famer sent this to us, and claims that it was a big hit in Switzerland last year. Assuming that’s true, I’d just like to take this moment to say suck it, Switzerland.

ATTACK ATTACK! HOPE THEIR BOYFRIEND DON’T MIND IT

First of all, major credit goes to reader Daniel Stalder for bringing this to our attention.

Attack Attack! have covered Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl.”

There is nothing especially remarkable about this; shitty screamo bands cover crappy pop songs all the time these days.

However, the lyrics to this particular song make the cover that much more horrifying/hilarious.

KATY PERRY GOES POWER METAL!

Sorry for the slow start today, ya’ll!

But good things comes to those who wait. MS Maniac David H. sent us this phenomenal power metal version (!) of Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl,” done with the original vocal track on top of instruments all performed by Andy Xiong. I kinda liked the original version of this song (shhhhh!) but this version turns it up to 11. Nice work, Andy!

Stick with it until the ripping Mercenary-style guitar and keyboard solos.

DEAR METAL BANDS: STOP IRONICALLY COVERING POP SONGS

Thursday, April 30th, 2009 at 10:41am by Axl Rosenberg

MetalSucks Maniac Matt Clark sent us the link to the below video of the unsigned band YEAH! Destroyer covering Katy Perry’s “Hot N’ Cold.” And while I’m fairly certain Matt meant for us to see this cover as a good thing, I have to say – it fucking sucks. And I’m sick of bands doing this kind of shit.
