Let's all come to grips with Slash feat. Fergie & Cypress Hill - "Paradise City"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH3542oMTwE

a little piece of my childhood died.

I say we start we start collecting money (a Slash fund?) with the intent of raising enough $$$ so that the dude will no longer feel like he can't turn job offers like this down.

god wut

the guitar parts are kind of interesting in that they are a perfect example of how bad major label rock production values have gotten in the time since appetite.

yeah true, but i still think appetite is in dire need of a remaster or something

fergie is like a living cringe

yeah actually why haven't they done that...there are some rarities they could probably stick on there too

love this thread title

knew that was gonna hurt, but wasn't anywhere near prepared. sounds like mickey rourke.

I don't know whether to cry or barf.

Was discussed some on Rolling Hard Rock a few months ago, including a link to somebody who actually prefers it to the original, though that makes no sense at all to me. I still can't get through the thing.

Rolling Past Expiry Hard Rock 2010

so it's fergie doing the axl impersonation? or not.

Better than Chinese Democracy though.

tyler,

on the first verse i swear that's a sample of axl off the original...not totally sure though

this is what it sounds like when doves have diarrhea and you're situated underneath a flock of them.

someday people will get tired of feigning outrage at every mediocre cover of a great song, and the day that happens something like 5% of the entire internet's bandwidth will get freed up at once.

"mediocre" come on dude

xpst
yet you are in the thread, you fell into my trap, i'm afraid you'll find there is no escape, mr. bond

mediocre is rong, it's an actual trainwreck befitting the thread title. i find fergie's axl impression kind of endearing tho.

I didn't feel the cringes listening to this as watching that celine dion AC/DC duet, at least no more cringes than listening to GNR's paradise city.

eh i think this is closer to garden variety bad than 'trainwreck'

this is the greatest song ever recorded

only Canadian women give a shit about a man's thighs

that shania twain cover is an abomination.

OTOH, she is hott.

Kinda like the '68 Comeback Special art direction

"I wanted to run but I was already there" WTF Shania, get one orgasm

OH SHIT, Allison Krauss!

just watched it again, to be sure.

it is perhaps the worst, most embarrassing, cover version i've ever heard.

0:56 (pointing at the one member of the crowd doing more than politely clapping along): "yah, you got the head goin' HAHA."

oy vey.

Shania, get one orgasm

this was the best porn flick of 2002 iirc

I made it all the way to the "Are you BLIND" part of the Paradise City cover.

I couldn't make it more than a second and a half of the Shania cover.

haha went looking for this thread, forgot this isn't even the first time Fergie has covered GNR: Which of the following covers of "Sweet Child o' Mine" sounds the most horrendous

Better than Chinese Democracy though.

Wrong. Chinese Democracy is a really good album. You just have to stop thinking of it as a Guns N' Roses album, and think of it as Axl's attempt to make a J-pop record.

Trivia: Shania Twain was married to "Mutt" Lange, who was producer on that AC/DC song.
