Cover vs. Original

Behind Blue Eyes


Plain sailing for me. The remake by Limp Bizkit is totally redundant. If someone doesn't know the original by The Who, he should make up for it as soon as possible.

OK, all of you schlubs that voted for, um, "Limp Bizkit" (and remember, they said it, not me) have some homework to do.

Oh... by the way...I'm all about old school rock and I have the Who version on vinyl... LB gets the vote for a GOOD COVER.

Um... it's a COVER. not a CARBON COPY!!! Siting it being different is a lame reason to label it as not good. Well done Fred Durst.

I haven't heard The Who version, (God knows why, I'm 36!), but I can't imagine it being better than LB's. It's a version I love to sing along with, crisp, clear...simple.

Limp Bizkit's cover is a really good one, but it doesn't really bring anything to the song that would make it better. Because of that my vote goes to The Who.

I feel more emotion in the Limp Bizkit version and I have no idea why...and I certainly never expected to partly like the cover! I say partly because LB ruins it with that bridge part (what the heck is being said/spelled, anyway!??)..what does it have to do with the song? I understand making covers different, but to "corrupt" the original is wrong. Most covers (and yes, there are exceptions) are only good for one thing: introducing a great song to a new generation who would never otherwise hear it. Sure, they don't know it should be credited to someone else, but at least they know the song.

I must say fred durst from limp bizkit sings very emotionally und passionately, at least the singing i like better than the original vocals ... needless to say that the guitars and the whole quality of the who is never reached but the vocals are really not bad, for my taste more exciting than the original!!

Ihr seid die dümmsten Kids von der ganzen Welt Limp Bizkit is die Beste Band der Welt neben den Ärzten und Linkin Park
