Worst. Glam. Cover. Ever.

The first time I heard Sheryl Crow's version of "Sweet Child O' Mine" I was in some random bar in Washington, D.C. Crow's version offended me so much, the hair on my arm sort of stood on end and I ranted a little. Ok, a lot. I remember thinking "I am so writing about this song" but a few days passed and I forgot my rage. Forgot, that is, until I heard the real "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns n' Roses - and then the anger came rushing back.

There are only a few songs that cannot be covered. "Sweet Child O' Mine" is one of those songs. Especially by a pop singer. A female pop singer.

I have to be honest here: I don't hate Sheryl Crow. I've seen her in concert. Her live show is decent. She is not, however, anywhere near as good as Guns n' Roses - and her version of "Sweet Child O' Mine" makes me want to cringe. The song is perfect. It didn't need covered - or changed - in any way, shape or form. It certainly didn't need a modern video.

I have nothing else to say. Just watch the video. Tell me if I'm being too harsh. Something tells me you'll see it my way.
