And Gary Jules' cover of Mad World was 17 years ago. Admittedly, I may have caused this problem as I actually bought that single... I was a very, very sad 12 year old.

priest17 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I've tried my best to stay away from these cover threads coz they recur pretty often and I always post the same shite but I've just had this introduced to me (never seen the cat in the hat no) and its actually gotten worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually defend coldplay as an alright band but that is just awful. Whenever bad covers comes up I always remember this from a iron maiden covers album kerrang gave away Also if you love bad covers just listen to the punk goes x series of albums. Some absolute howlers on those. No idea how they are still going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelzoid Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 This one is far better And I really like this one. Despite it being Sting, Gil Evans and Orchestra provide the backing and the guitar solo is sublime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although an interesting addition - I'm no sure this counts as a proper cover. It's actually the intro to their own song 'Christmas Lights'. He's just slotting in a few of the lyrics into the intro of a Coldplay song - probably relatively on the cuff. He was mates with Adam Yauch who died that year so I think we can forgive him.

So I avoided this for a good couple of weeks and now watching it, it's not so bad. If you want to see a properly awful version, I've got you covered: I saw them do the same thing at IOW that year. Just as inept. Not sure what's going ion, but the band obviously couldn't be arsed to learn the song for the tribute and just look on vaguely embarrassed. Shit.
