@Ramitorez Band's don't cover songs to make them better, they cover songs because they love and respect the bands that made them. Of course the original is better, there is no question about it, but I love what I hear and I respect them even more since they love the music I love.
Dead Kennedys did it better. Not a bad cover. I love SOAD and Serj. I also like the Foo Fighters. However, Serj sounds like the dude from the B-52s in this song.
serjs solo stuff is better than system because Malakian made them shit live and he thought that he was an amazing singer and especialy on hypnotize made them sound absolutely auful

What is a worthless, payola-driven group like the Foo Fighters doing covering a masterpiece like 'Cambodia'? Weren't they happy enough to desecrate the classic single "I'm in Love With a German Film Star"?
serj tankian is the greatest artist ever but this performance sucked dick
! this is a quote from vhobsessed78 !
The lyrics were changed, for one. And second, it was played on MTV! The Dead Kennedys HATED MTV. Hell, they even wrote a song called "MTV Get Off The Air".
This fucking sucks. I'm sorry, but it's the truth.
The lyrics were changed, for one. And second, it was played on MTV! The Dead Kennedys HATED MTV. Hell, they even wrote a song called "MTV Get Off The Air".
This song was cheapened horribly. They really took the piss out of it.
Yeah but still it was part of the song, it's part of depicting some racist jocks. Just because some fools know nothing you don't have to change the song.
yeah i didnt understand why the hell they would cover a dead kenneedy's song...they should have done mtv get off the air. still love serj and foo fighters though
Such an ass...only superficial people would be bothered about that kinda thing, like it won't be "cool" to like the song anymore if it's on Guitar Hero. Which is hella fun to play by the way.
Fuck MTV, Fuck the Foo Fighters and Serj for deciding to play this song. Fuck these people rocking out to this. FUCK THEM ALL! Those fucking mindless cocksuckers. Guarantee they have never heard that fucking song in their life. Oh lets smile and cheer for a song like that.
Wheres David Grohl's voice if they sang it together it would if been fucking rad but it's different with Serj Tankian something from the Dead Kennedys
Dave said he was gonna come back to Ireland in November (said it at dublin gig i was at!!!) - Please bring Serj too - and do this song live!!!!! i would go crazy
haha what a shit cover. They took out the best guitar park - probably because they can't even play it. The he changes the lyrics like a pussy. Ya' know DK sung a song called MTV Get Off The Air for a reason. All that pillock has just done, is disgrace a band better than both these talentless, mainstream pieces of shit. I bet he don't even know who the fuck pol pot is.
U f'in numpty, Its from the MTV Awards show, and the first half was shown live (dont no about the rest) hence they forced him to censor it! Serj a pussy, fat chance!
maybe he wasnt censoring, because he thinks "brother" is a better Word for niggers??? because after all niggers call themselfs for brothers dont they? yea they do=)
I personally think niggers is a curse word invented when niggers where slaves
Jello wrote the lyrics "offensively" and like that for a reason. If serj can't put up and say fuck MTV i'm not going to be sensored (seeing as though it's not even in racist context anyway) then yes that would make him a pussy. And to you up there syaing "oh no" he aint gonan say niggers before his new album is he OMGZ!?". Jello Biafra went to a major music awards meant to be playing Holiday In Cambodia and sung the infamous Pull My Strings. Check the lyrics out, you can imagine the outrage.
no one else than Serj could do this
