@coyboyusa: I totally agree!
Pointless, but hey, thanks to TDR for mentioning it :)

Think it sounds very descent. And I think the singing is not bad at all.
Just to bad it’s not a bit heavier like I would have expected. ( the cheesy mixing sadly enough) But really a nice thumbs up! :)

A “heavy metal”-version???
It’s the original, almost note by note, forced into a pseudo-rock-dress. The original songs on the “Warmen”-Account are much better. But I have to admit that I’m very hard to satisfy with cover-versions, so my opinion might be very subjective.

It’s not amazing, but I reckon it could be a hit if released as a single in a few places.
Decent cover. Have to agree tho, not ’heavy’ metal really, bit harder han the original i suppose.
7/10

I think the only thing that is really good is that it stays very true to the original.
Otherwise not a fan. But nice to see people covering Roxette songs though.

ALWAYS NICE to see bands covering/remixing Roxette.
BUT::
It sounds like she was booted off Idols during the first auditions fase.
And the music isn’t “heavy metal”, rather similiar to the Rox live versions during the C!B!B! era with Micke, Jonas and PG all three strumming away on guitar. Actually, I think Rox’s version was louder - they at least had 2 drummers ;oP
Would love to see these “moshpitters” performing it live though!
Eugh, her voice is really irritating me now.
*Press STOP*

Not terrible by any stretch, but it does nothing new with the song. You need more than chugging guitar chords to do justice to Roxette.
The main vocals lack the emotion that Marie brought to it as well

Ah guys.. with Maries vocals you all would love this take on FLAF.
I love the sound of the heavier guitars

Just another proof that Marie has the best female voice on this planet...:D
Oh we Rox-fans are damned spoiled! :)

Well, I listened to the song, and it sounds just like a re-make of the original Roxette version. I hear NO “heavy metal” on this song.
it just sounds like a bad karaoke version of Roxette’s song.
Once again, after listening to this lady attempting to sound like a singer, one get more respect for Marie, once again.

It could’ve been heavier!!!
But i love it!! Better than all those dance-covers... I’m more into heavy metal!!!

I hate coversongs, but this one is just plain boring. It’s sung very monotonous and the heavy from metal is nowhere around.
Just a bit more distortion effects in the guitars. It was so boring I skipped big chunks of the song.
No energy, no rockin’ sound, no dynamics, it just misses a vital ingredient.... Roxette!
I expected to be more blown away as the word metal was mentioned, but alas...
It became a cover that needs a new battery. What’s more to say about it? Nothing, just that it’s time lost when you listen to it.
I’d rather listen my old cd of Rox, they put life and emotion in that song.

It’s better than the remix of It Must Have Been Love that I just heard on youtube. It Must Have Been Love Karma remix. Yuk.
