While trolling YouTube, looking for something good to listen to, I came across a cover I never knew existed.
Queen is known for so many songs, that it's hard for most fans to pick ojt one "favorite". One that every one can agree on as a great though, is We Are The Champions. Freddie Mercury was a fucking good as a frontman, and this song is a perfect example. Green Day is not known for the musical prowess, but they can still be a fun band to listen to, and their longevity shows that entertainment value overrides anything else.

The Cover:
It's fairly obvious which one is better, as Queen makes Green Day look like a high school cover band, but I can't say I'm not impressed by the threesome's effort. If you're going to cover a band like Queen, you need to be on your "A" game, and you need to make sure to do the song justice. They did, but it's not the same, and it's probably not even in the same ballpark. Queen takes this easily...
