Sometimes it works well. But often it's just a bit "meh" :P

And it's quite a lot less likely to work well when it's a collection of the world's worst bands doing it :P

I'm still looking forward to it though, it'll be funny :lol:. I wanna see if any of them can take the crown of worst Green Day cover of all time from Avril Lavigne.

I probably won't listen to it unless there's a band I like that's participating. I haven't even listened to any of the broadway songs just because I don't like hearing other people sing and change my favorite songs. :happy:

Well yeah but it's mostly the singing that can make it sound so much different. I haven't heard any full songs but I've heard parts of them on Broadway Idiot and I didn't really like the voices of the male leads.

Excited for this, mostly the Frank and 5SOS ones! :)

Frank's doing Extraordinary Girl, not sure if any of the other tracks have been announced yet.

Had a feeling for some reason that you'd be excited for the 5SOS cover ;)

Have fun at Slam Dunk btw

He means he found out about this and made a thread about it first, then a few weeks later when Kerrang announced the album another thread was made and his was forgotten. Fair point, I've merged the two threads and will add the extra info from the Kerrang announcement to the OP

Still no news on this eh? Ah well time is getting close...

Fuck, can't believe 5 Seconds of Summer are covering Green Day. They are literally the epitome of shitty, corporate boy bands. There are these two girls in my class who are obsessed with these guys, and it literally drives me crazy when they talk about them. And they claim that they are not a "boy band" because they play instruments. Pretty sad.

I looked them up, and it looks like they covered Boulevard of Broken Dreams at the Fillmore in San Francisco a couple days ago:

Complete shit.

You're judging them off 10 seconds of live footage? wow that's gotta be a new low. :/

Anyway great band, one week left til this is released - hope we get track list info soon! :)

Come on they were all having fun - not hurting anyone - they even said they have ruined GD for everybody. Take it as a compliment that they want to cover GD. I am not a fan of them but Aussie, Aussie, Aussie :D

BOWLING FOR SOUP :runaround:

But yeah. I'll be staying away from the rest of it.

I'm so fucking glad that I recognise less than half of those bands. My music taste is still good.

i recognise 5 of them, yet my music taste still sucks :P

Posted

Pretty sure I've been in at least three of them.

Posted

I literally recognise two bands. So I've no idea what this will be like - it'll be interesting to hear.

Posted

I've only heard of three of them, one from a friend. Never listened to any of them.

Not sure how I feel...
