The Ataris - Boys of Summer
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
Avril Lavigne - Knockin on Heavens Door
Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey

(avril lavigne is actually a fake. her band is hired, one of my friends knows the bassist and he said he is just part of a hired band. she doesn't write any of the material she claims to write, and she doesn't play guitar, or she sucks if she does.)

Black Betty by Spiderbait. They took all of the interesting things out of the song and made it one long bore.

Feel a Whole Lot Better by Tom Petty (orig. the Byrds). Aside from a slightly different lead tone and (obviously) different musicians and singers, it's identical to the original. While it'd be fine if I didn't know it was a cover, as it stands it's just boring.

That's what I've suspected all along. Strumming a few chords during the chorus doesn't mean you can play guitar or that you wrote your own songs.

They just put her with a "band" and dress her up like that and tell people she writes her own songs as part of her "punk rock" image.

Thank you for pointing out the Chop Suey cover, I had to hunt it down and I must say i's very satisfying indeed tongue.gif

I especially enjoy the FATHER! part and the 'when angels deserve to DIEIEIEE' -bits.

My god. dry.gif
