No issues with the original song at all, I actually really like it. But yeah, that wasn't great
Give me the Travis version anyday! And Travis bore the arse off me!
The barely achieved high notes at "still believe" crack me up every time.0 -

I remember seeing it on MTV & being hooked straight away. Still listen to it so often.
One of my favourite bands. Second only to pearl jam for the best concert I've ever been at
Captured my teenage angst just right back in the day
Delighted to see it leading the way too!0 -
I know I can only submit one which I have already but actor Luke Evans is a very good singer

Yeah I was laughing myself.
They were laughing. & their audience was too
So I suppose it deserves half a point for the fun factor.
I wonder did they post it as a piss take, because there's no way they could have been serious with it lol0 -

My favorite acoustic cover at the moment... just because I find it infectiously happy.
The Punch Brothers covering The Cars song 'Just what I Needed'..

She was singing in a key way above her natural range for years, pushing her voice and that can cause damage.Deleted User wrote: »Eva Cassidy - Songbird (originally by Fleetwood Mac)
She does some great cover versions, I originally thought about going with her cover of Summertime Sadness, but thought the keyboard might have made it not-strictly an acoustic performnce.
Now she sings in a lower register that suits her much better, she has quite a deep voice.
I thought the NIN cover she did on her Black Mirror episode was quite good, it would be cool if she did a rock album

I've just watched a Johnny cash - Hurt by her just now & added that for possible future acoustic subs :P
*I think I'll be bineging on her the rest of the night too

Ha, just realised you were talking about Miley here & not the woman I posted.
Oops, me not paying attention as usual
But also I'm a bit of a Miley fan myself. She has a new song out a week ago called 'Angels Like You' & its really good 0 -
Personally think a cover version is only worthy of mention, if it brings something new to the original... I can't stand facsimile covers. (Sorry whoever mentioned Miley Cyrus cover of Summer time Sadness)
In the cover below, Bruce plays a mean acoustic guitar and harmonica combo, adds an F-bomb which I don't think was in the original lyrics and changes a couple of other words too....and lastly, C'mon its Bruce F-bomb Springsteen !!!
Bruce Springsteen - Royals (Lorde)

Its actually there own song originally sung without featuring Fred Durst (from Limp Bizkit).
I had known a few of Limp Bizkit's songs but wasn't a huge fan, but I didn't know who Staind were at the time.
Absolutely loved the song and never forgot the name of the band.
While I wouldn't say I know a lot of their music, I do love some of their songs and Aaron Lewis (lead singer) is an amazing singer live. I've submitted one of his songs in an upcoming walrus too 0 -

I always thought it did :pac:
Generally I wouldn't count the average rehearsed rock concert song with full band, but I would count that song as acoustic. It was a broken down moment with just his guitar and Fred. I think the strict definition is electrical amplification but I am open to correction?
Brings back teenage memories for me too! I'd forgotten this song before you shared it 0 -

Not sure were to start with this..needs a longer answer as there is overlap.. give me a while to find a link cos it would take to long to type. lol
starters
live versus studio recorded
note you can also record a live gig
electric normally internal electronics in the instruments
acoustic instruments can be miked to be recorded in a studio or even a temporary sound pick up placed inside them...
electro acoustic/semi acoustic eg guitar that you could play not plugged in but also does have internal electronics that can be plugged in to make it louder and sometimes eqs to play with the sound frequency mix.
drum versus drum machine
piano versus keyboard
upright bass versus electric bass etc
so live normally refers to a once off event or a gig that is part of a tour that you may or may not record.
It may use electric or semiacoustic or acoustic instruments or a mixture
Acoustic can refer to type of instruments... or the fact that a live gig is not electrified at all or uses acoustic or mainly acoustic instruments and voice which may or may not be amplified using amps/mics/pa etc
Flip I think a link might be better...see what I mean with my rambling
Edit as ari mentioned the complication that the average drumkit in a rock band is an acoustic instrument/s that have microphones around and on and in them to amplify them.0 -

Yes off the top of my head... he finished composing the lyrics/verses live on tour while playing an semi/acoustic guitar one night..ie low key not fully electricfied instruments with a full band...then the song charted as an acoustic version then later they recorded a studio version for an album which in turn also got released and charted. My head is spinning..darn good song anyhow 0 -

Ah my head hurts lol. But thanks for the breakdown
I just took it as a song that was live, or maybe a simple set up like someone singing with just a guitar.
I'll put some thought into whether I'll continue with considering the technicalities, or to just do my own thing with a song
I've an 'Emo' playlist with only a couple of songs in it. I've listened to some of the songs for years and only recently looked up one of the bands that I always thought might have been an Australian Emo band. Dont ask where that idea came from.
Turns out they are classed as a rock band, and they are German!
Nevermind though, they will continue to be my 'Emo' band lol0
