LMAO thanks for making my day, I'm still laughing my a*s off.
I didn't even recognize the song, now I have to go put some sweet oil in my ears to clean that awful noise I just heard.

I love it how the one guy walks over at about 1:15 and looks like he's trying to make sure they really sound that bad. That was totally awful, I don't think you could make a worse cover of The Final Countdown. Totally hilarious though.

Oh my god. How do you classify the genre? Emo-metal-Klingon-opera?

I'm speechless.

That was worse than my high school band, and my high school band was downright awful.

I don't think you could have picked a worse lead sound. It's like a bad Mellotron flute sample.

LOL, yeah that's the one. Then the guy in the pink hot pants(!) arrives on-stage to check the amps. Unfortunately, when he's finished the amps still work...

Could be just a soundcheck, though.

Reminds me of my brother's band when they performed at school. They'd only rehearsed once together, and none of them played in sync, and one was just playing a different song altogether

It sounds alot like they've rehearsed the song listening to the CD only to find the chords, but the vocalist is constantly several keys below the others. He is actually singing the correct pitch mostly, only several keys too low.
They should have transposed the entire song down to his level and it may have sounded slightly better. Although maybe not, the keyboardist keeps missing a note every 3 seconds

Here's the original:

Really bad cover tunes, eh? How about this one:

Do guys grow beards like his because they can... or is it some divine calling?

Thought the bass drum.... eh freezer sounded pretty good.
