Is there a cover that PJ has played that you think just doesn't fit into their style?

I personally can't stand hearing them play Fortunate Son from 2003. I know it was politically relevant but it sounds terrible. Just makes me dash for the controller to change the song. Plus, the addition of Sleater Kinney makes it unlistenable. 2003 was full of poor covers.

Yeah, I agree. I really wasn't a fan of "Fortunate", although I love the original. Oddly enough, Sleater-Kinney covers it, and I love that version too.

Driven To Tears was OK, but not my favorite, I like the Police version better.

I was really looking forward to hearing "If You Want Blood You've Got It", and I got the Brisbane boot for it, but I was pretty disappointed. I guess it was the one and only time they did it, and if they practiced it a bit more, I'm sure it would be fine, but that version (to these ears) kinda sucks.

Wasn't a big fan of "The Real Me" on the 2009 tour.

I don't really like the cover to Ten. Pink? C'mon!!

Driven to Tears is fucking awful

I'd like "Reign" better if Boom didn't play the intro note-for-note on that toy piano of his. Otherwise I think they do a pretty faithful job.

I think "All Along the Watchtower" is bar none the lamest cover they do.

I love "Driven to Tears."

know your rights

fortunate son would have been better if they played it right

Its a tie between Driven To Tears and All Along The Watchtower. They are both pretty terrible.

Fortunate Son is just a notch below, but considering the time frame in which it was performed, it'll get a small pass.

I would also get pretty annoyed to hear Black Diamond in concert again.

Now why the heck would that annoy you? I hate Kiss with a passion and still thought it was awesome when Ace came out and played that with PJ. Mike and Matt on lead vocals? That was good fun.

Those are reasons enough to annoy me. Its cool that they want to have some fun, but I'd honestly rather hear Bugs.

Anyone who covers a KISS song and thinks it's "cool" needs a hard kick in the nuts.

probably 2 of my favourites. Know your rights, Uniondale 03 is a bomb.

My pick : Driven to Tears. I hate the song, whoever plays it.

Anything with Sleather Kinney. I do like Corin on Harvest Moon, though.

Not a big fan of Know Your Rights, but I think Public Image is their worst.

Patrick Bateman · **Posted:** Thu Mar 31, 2011 5:03 pm

My least favorite is easily All Along The Watchtower, and i love the song itself.
I've heard a couple versions of Driven To Tears that i thought were tight and i love Gimme Some Truth, Fortunate Son and pretty much all the Who songs.
All Along The Watchtower just doesn't do anything for me.
Oh and Kick Out The Jams, doesn't work for me either.

Worst/Poorly Chosen PJ Cover..........
