Unpopular Covers of Classic Rock Hits that Disappoint Fans – Grunge

m.p. Bizkit. Just one word. But you know we’re all sheep. Baa.” The Speak & Spell voice was meant to add a robotic effect, but it just comes off as cheesy and ill-fitting. 
The dark lyrics of “Behind Blue Eyes,” a song about feeling isolated and misunderstood, don’t mesh with Limp Bizkit’s aggressive rap-rock stylings, and Durst’s vocals lack the emotional depth needed for such a meaningful song. Durst’s angry delivery doesn’t suit the melancholy tone of the lyrics, and the decision to end the song with a loud scream is jarring and out of place. One YouTube comment sums it up: “I wished I could unhear this.”

Sweet Child O’ Mine — Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow’s cover of Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” was part of the soundtrack for “Big Daddy,” a 1999 film starring Adam Sandler. With a more laid-back and folksy tone than the original, Crow’s version was criticized by Guns N’ Roses fans for being too slow, less energetic, and lacking the passion and grit that Axl Rose brought to the original. 
Fans of the original song called out Crow’s version for being boring, uninspired, and pale in comparison to Guns N’ Roses’ classic rock anthem. Despite the negative reception from fans, Crow’s cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” did well commercially, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart. However, when it comes to comparing it to the original, most fans agree that Guns N’ Roses’ version is the one that truly rocks out.
