Does Tom Petty believe in dinosaurs? Also I thought Christians weren't allowed to sing songs about despair.

mattramone (March 3, 2010)

Also, you know, sluts in the Valley.

Cheesetits (March 3, 2010)

I believe in Tom Petty's case, it takes one to know one, so I think he does believe in dinosaurs.

What the fuck did Tom Petty do to deserve this?

I remember when there was all that hype for Gaslight covering Trusty Chords, and when I saw them they were coming out of the encore and someone requested they cover "Refugee" instead. It was really disappointing.

Uhhhhh......

Not gonna do it.

'Badboy' usually consists of drinking, drugs, fast women, self-destruction and not going to church Mr. Gillespie.

RedElephant (March 3, 2010)

you must mean MISSING church.

I do not think I've ever experienced a cover that has ruined the original song this bad in my entire life.

I am actually busting my balls laughing at this, sounds like she's dying.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU5-pGKP0LE&feature=related

A_Lan (March 4, 2010)

Ohhh man you are right this did make me laugh. Lol is there a part where she just speaks gibberish? because that part is super funny. good stuff :P

There should be a law against that.

ZachLeg (March 3, 2010)

that was horrible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_KSOb0UFEk

eran_zombis (March 3, 2010)

are you kidding? this song, in any form, is one of the most horrendous piles of shit ever released. this cover is hardly a departure from the original, which is already such a fucking travesty of a song that it really can't be any worse.

ramblinboyofpleasure (March 3, 2010)

Wash your mouth out. It's just because you're a hick!

crankwilldestroy (March 3, 2010)

Agreed, and it was extra terrible when Tom Cruise sang to it in Jerry McGuire

MonsterLobster (March 3, 2010)

This is worse (at least to me): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YqAmIqAqAg

I bet quite a few Paramore fans were in preschool when Relationship of Command came out.

ZachLeg (March 3, 2010)

I saw Fake Problems, Flatliners, Teenage Bottlerocket, Dillinger Four, and NOFX at that venue.

TheRedDeath (March 3, 2010)

"Is a million miles away a paramore song, or a cover?"

hahaha, poor misguided youth.

andrewg (March 3, 2010)

I know what to expect. I know exactly what to expect, why am I clicking this link? Oh great, a douchey photo staring me in the face. "the almost didn't stray too far" No that's not what this was ever about was it. Fuck you "The almost" Fuck you Fearless Fuck you Tom Petty and mostly Fuck me for wasting 45 seconds listening to this.

nick_s (March 4, 2010)

Someone actually out did All American Rejects in the 'prepared for teen movies' songwriting ability.

I never thought I'd say this but..........the John Mayer cover is so much better, that felt fairly uncomfortable.

longlivekeithmorris (March 4, 2010)

First off, this cover sicks balls. Second, this is punk? Because if this is on punk goes classic rock I think they need to change name of that cd to Classic Rock Goes GAY!
