This thread is just a lame cover of any number of more classic threads!
Anyway, I find the idea of "we take a cover and make it unrecognizable or change it to make it our own" a righteous load of rubbish. It's called a hack version in my book and isn't any better than a tribute style version.
To say [para] "40 year olds just look silly doing this, 'cause teens and 20-somethings are the ones who are cool and know how to rock" just reeks of the arrogance and naievete you'd expect to get from teens and 20-somethings.
To take stock of the most happening rock bands that were around when I was a teenager & compare it to the most happening rock bands of today,... it's uttlerly laughable. Sorry dude, you lose.
