Hahaha, she doesn't even know the words

Holy crap.
Didn't she also do a Depeche Mode cover?

Horrible version of one of my favourite songs. It almost sounds like he's taking the piss.

I actually love the original I must confess, and one of the most awesomely f*cked up music videos ever to boot.

I can't make it through 1.5 minutes of the Kiss original anyway.

Anyway...




I would say Avril Lavigne's "Chop Suey" did it for me. I couldn't stop laughing.

I love GnR but yeah, the studio version was ok in parts (like the guitar solo) but trying to make a song like that into a hard rocker just doesn't work, and that live version is pretty damn horrible.

How did they take a simple 2 minute ballad and turn it into a bloated wreck like that?
