Tonight I heard Green Day's cover of W.C.H. for a charity? album. Anyone else heard it?  Not a fan of G.D. myself.

I'd say! Will be quite horrible...  

It's not bad what Green Day did- but nothing beats John singing it.

What's he says in " till the pain is so big you feel...." something?

Thanks for the link, Revolution.I like it. The acoustic version of John sounds weird to me. Like diferent takes mixed. The song could sound better and this cover is a proof.

Not a bad cover ... at least, it doesn't sound like a studio demo!

Actually, Avril Lavigne's version beat out like 17 other people who wanted to do Imagine. So

here is a short clip: http://store.wbr.com/store/product.a...997153&sys=wbr

Looking at the track list, i'd be anxious to hear the Black Eyed Peas version of 'Power To The People'. I can picture that for some reason.

I'll listen to it as soon as I can, I like Green Day but I just hardly ever like covers of my favorite bands. I would like to hear Green Day tackle some earlier stuff, namely "I Want To Hold Your Hand" or "I Saw Her Standing There".

Brings me back to The Dead Kennedys great cover of "Back In The USSR".
