Cover vs. Original

Sweet Child O' Mine


Some think it's sacrilege, but I'm just a sucker for Sheryl Crow. I like her twangy sound over the hard rock original. Plus I like ballsy covers.

Sheryl Crow did a fabulous job on this song. Guns did a good job originally but I find myself liking Sheryl's version better.

Um, Sheryl Crow is hot and all but, she had a brain fart when she did this song. GNR!

By far the worst cover I have heard. Crow has some good songs, but it would have been better if she had recorded something else.

G'n'R are one of the top ten best rock bands, Crow couldn't get away w/ there biggest hit.

yo pienso que no esta del nabo el cover que hizo Sharlyn pero

NO se compara para nada a la cancion original de los GN'R

Unfortunately, Sheryl doesn't cut it. Shame, her version of First Cut is good. Try the version of Sweet Child by Luna (iTunes) which is a fantastic song that doesn't take anything away from GnR.

I think I was ill for a week when I heard Crow's puke of a song. What a disgrace to cover G&FR like that. At least she wasn't going for November rain, that would have brought judgment day upon us.

duude.. how can you even compare GNR to Sheryl Crow.. Guns N' Roses has by far made the best version of sweet child o' mine

That should be "who the F*** are the 22%". I was a little to fired up before.

The poster from 26.10.2005 is an idiot. Crow is an an above-average-dive-bar-guitar-chick. GNR are legends and that is a fact. Ask any successful band today or the all-time greats and they will all testify to the greatness that was GNR. I could write for days defending my position but I think the 78% vote (at the time of this post) speaks for itself. BTW, who the F*** are the 28% who voted for Crow?
