to me, that is one of the greatest covers of all time because IMHO the original sucked. |

That one gives me chills. It also reminds me of the worst remake ever. Willie Nelson singing Dave Matthews' Gravedigger. |

Let's be real. If anyone else would have turned that rock classic into elevator music they would have been lucky to only have been booed off the stage. |

It got all the way to the chorus before she piped up and indignantly asked "Why is HE singing a Guns n Roses song?" :D |

I was listening to this song on the radio last night while driving home from work. I realized that this song has been around for quite sometime now, and I actually loved it back in my college days. |

As he was listening to it, he said, "isn't this originally by Van Halen?" :D |
