Daughtry - Separate Ways

You guys are also cherry picking all the exceptions, and are actually proving my point: most covers are a waste of time.

While many covers suck I don't mind the ones where the band/musician takes a song and makes it their own instead of trying to basically copy the original. For example take a pop song and turn it into a metal song...

I'm with you here.

I feel like the majority of the time that covers are just attempts at publicity grabs...especially if you're doing a very well known song.

I think in general, the covers I've enjoyed most over the years are covers of songs I wasn't familiar with in the first place.  In those cases, I'm good with covers. 

Or covers can be fun in live settings when your just trying to appeal to the crowd and might not have a big catalog of music.

But to me, recording covers of very well known songs just isn't that interesting.  I'll usually listen once but never go back to them.

I can tell you hundreds I really like but I aint gonna be fucking typing them all out, so no, your point is not proven.

Your opinion and my opinion could not be further apart, but I aint the one saying my opinion is fact.

Most hot-takes are a waste of time.

yea my vote also goes to the majority of covers being a waste of time.

There's only one cover song that I love, which is No Easy Way Out by Beast In Black.  Tobi has a couple good ones with Maniac by Avantasia, and Rock Me Amadeus by Edguy.  You're So Vain by Faster Pussycat and Dream On by Helix are alright as well.
