I prefer Tangled Up In Blue. And no band should cover Bob Dylan because I'd hate to not be able to listen to his stuff after hearing a shitty cover of it.

Mike Ness's version of Don't Think Twice (happy?) was pretty fucking sweet.

Jimi did an awesome job covering Dylan's "All Along The Watchtower." but that chezz 60's band the Hollies or whatever fuckin ruined Dylan's "Tambourine Man"

You guys sure are into posting the shittalk lately, aren't ya? Who cares if Less Than Jake doesn't want to cover Drowning Pool? I saw LTJ live, they don't have anything on any of those bands. Not to mention the fact that they make fun of easy targets. "Oooh, take that Fred Durst!" Hows about posting something relevant and not wasting your time?

I'm not saying those bands are amazing, but Less Than Jake is pretty terrible, too.

Report

Someone (June 18, 2002)

youre insane. at least LTJ didnt have to follow in on the coattails of crappy nu metal bands. LTJ was actually instrumental in starting the ska movement. remember them, RBF, and the bosstones? Saliva and drowning pool are just pathetic non-talent rap/numetal hybrid bands with no talent and idiotic hooks. At least LTJ has some credentials.

Ska started before less than jake was even born.

Its just a lighthearted interview... I'm pretty sure most of us are into this music because on one level or another its entertainment. Pour yourself a cup of tea and relax a bit...

Someone (June 16, 2002)

I personally enjoy learning little quirks about my favorite musicians. I appreciated the interview. The guys from LTJ are interesting to talk to and as always, funny as hell.

"Hows about posting something relevant and not wasting your time?" you are reading a fucking internet website you fucking idiot! you are allready wasting your time... the website is meant for fun, not political/human progression (for the most part anyways) go outside and get something done you fucking nerd

I didn't complain about wasting MY time. I said "your time." There's a huge difference.

I love LTJ, they shouldn't have a list, they should not do any covers at all ( I would walk 500 miles, I think I love you, and that grease shit). But has anyone ever heard a good ska cover. Wait I know Come on Elieen by Save Farris.
