I think it was interesting - a more hard rock take on it. I bet Adam, Monte, Tommy and Isaac would like it!

They better not quit their day time job! Horrible!

Ya.... no. I had hope at first because I like the instrumental rock sound, I've just never been a fan of the whole screaming thing.

Rita said...

I prefer the Glitter Bombs bursting in my ears from Adam's version, the metal bombs not so much. Good luck, Colossus Of Rhodes.

I couldn't stand 2 seconds of it lol!
I'm sorry but this is a happy song they sound like they are gonna beat me up or something
Maybe it's just cause I don't understand that type of music

The Dark Side said...

My eardrums are bleeding. Not sure what they were going for here--perhaps a remix, redo, reefer infused blowout? There are a few parts that aren't bad, but...not my cup of head banging rock! Have the neighbors called the cops? Jeeze my head is still ringing. Good luck guys, anyway.

Sorry ColossusofRhodes...hate it! If I Had You is such a positive, upbeat message. This version just sounds loud & angry.

I hate this version of If I Had You! My son loves this type of music and I just don't understand the meaning of it, the screaming and anger. It is so depressing!!

Anonymous said...

No thanks! Couldn't bear it after the first 3 or 4 seconds....good luck to them though.

What was the question? Sorry...can't hear after stabbing both my eardrums with a letter opener...Why? Because it wasn't as painful as listening to that, that, errr WTF WAS that anyway?? UGH.

Well it is different and some parts the singing was good. I think you have to be into this type of music to appreciate the sound. Maybe for younger generation but this old lady likes Adam's version. Good Luck guys!

Based on this cover, and if these guys knew what the Colossus of Rhodes truly was, they would have named themselves Bikini Atoll instead.

They bombed this in a bad way.

@ Glambrit,
i take it you didn't like it, don't hold back, tell us what you really think....

p.s wasn't this posted a few weeks ago? or one very similar. didn't like it then, don't like it now.

HK fan said...

OT....

Just sending out wishes to all the New zealanders on this site, and especially to all those in Christchurch. Hope you're all OK. have been watching live coverage of the devastation of the earthquake on the Australian channel. Its unbelievable to watch, especially when you've visited the places you can see, and have friends there. our prayers are with you.

OT...I saw this terrible news also and hope JadamNZ is safe as well as others in NZ. The last one in Sept. was terrible too. Hope there won't be any more aftershocks. So much death and destruction in the world now. I pray it will stop. 65 killed in Christ Church and hundreds missing. Can't get excited about watching this video now. funbunn40

Sorry ... I could only listen to three or four notes before I turned it off ... this isn't how ADAM meant this song to be sung ... very OMINOUS sound ... horrid!

Regarding Christ Church earthquake ... I'm praying to GOD to PLEASE put an end to all the devastation worldwide .... I feel so very sorry for all the victims & will keep them in my prayers. Love 'n Light

Hi Jadam here, thanks for you kind thoughts. We ae okay as the earthquake was in The South Islan and i am in he north island. Watching on TV tho it is devestating hard to beleive this has happened in such a big scale in our safe little country. The death toll so far is 65 but expecting more. So sad. I txt a friend I made thru another fansite about 18months ago and we keep in contact and she was trapped at work. havent heard from her again, so dont know if they are out yet.
Thank you again for your kind thoughts
Jadam. Z.

*clicks mute after ten seconds of listening*

*pets kitteh*

Kitteh yowls loudly.

Me: 'I know, baby, I hated it too.'

Kitteh: 'Mrrow?'

Me: 'You hungry?'

Kitteh: 'Meow.'

Me: 'Okay, let's get you fed, and then we'll listen to the REAL version of this song.'

Kitteh: 'Mrow!'

Half an hour later...

'Now THIS is music! Isn't Adam wonderful?'

*loud purring*

'I'm glad you agree. It shows you have good taste, kitten.'

One minute was more than I could handle. The Parody was better. LOL! Could this be a joke?

I also couldn't even get through the whole song. I do have neighbors who would love this though. Everything that comes out of their garage when the 16 yr olds are hanging out there sounds like this. I can't even sit outside when they are there. They love to play it as loud as possible.
PS. I have noticed that it goes off as soon as their Mom gets home. So funny. I wonder if these same guys will like this 10-15 years from now.

HORRIBLE!

I really like the Beasty Boys, but I don't think this is working with this song. It's always fun to experiment though and I'm happy you chose to try one of Adam's songs.
Keep plugging at it....you never know : )

It's good that Adams songs go through different genres. They probably didn't cover it for your entertainment.

OT @JadamNZ, So glad you're safe and hope your friend will be found safe as well and will be able to contact you soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with all in NZ and hope any buried in the rubble will soon be found and will survive. This video isn't my fave. Maybe a nod to Adam to want to cover, but head bangin' loud is all I gained from it. Good luck, guys, something for everyone out there! funbunn40

Sounds like Creatures from the Black Lagoon having a jam session in a nightmare! Not really trying to be mean, just the vision conjured up in my mind listening to it.lol funbunn40

I gave it a chance. I suffered thru a whole 20 secs of it before it reminded me of the scenes in some horror movie where the Devil himself made a comment. What a butcher job of a great song. All artistic interpretation aside, that was just annoying. I love the Beasy Boys. This is nothing like them. This sounds like an EVP they catch on Ghost Hunters. Sends chills in my soul. Yikes!

P.S.- and I'm a metal head from the 80's and this is grosser than anything I've ever heard.

adam luv said...

OMG! That's funnier than any of the parodies! Loved it in its horribleness! (dont think that's a word but apropos to this subject).

Anonymous said...

yuk. & can u believe there are people who listen to that kind of noise?

glitzylady said...

Skipped it entirely. I get the idea from everyone else who listened to it that I really didn't need to hear it for myself.. Pretty sure I would much prefer Adam's anyway...

Sending out prayers to New Zealanders affected by the earthquake. Losing even 1 life is a tragedy. Just hoping this is the end of the devastation for this country, and the earthquakes stop.
