Super Junior’s “Sorry, Sorry” rock cover by Royal Pirates

Super Junior’s single “Sorry, Sorry” has already been covered by many people on YouTube
but the cover by Royal Pirates’ is the best by far.

Royal Pirates is an independent rock band out of Southern California and its members are Moonchul (vocals/guitar) and Sooyoon (drums). They have a great sound despite the fact that they’re only a 2-piece band. This isn’t their first Kpop cover but it’s arguably their best one so far.






In my opinion, I think Super Junior’s original version of “Sorry, Sorry” pales in comparison to Royal Pirates’ rock version. I myself play the guitar and I’ve been in a few garage bands that never officially made it out of the garage. As a result, I’m partial towards independent rock bands and the beautifully coarse sound of a heavily distorted electric guitar. I’m sure most of you hardcore Kpop fans won’t agree with me that Royal Pirates’ version of “Sorry, Sorry” is better than Super Junior’s version, but you have to admit that Royal Pirates did a pretty damn good job covering the song.

Like I said before, this isn’t their first Kpop cover. They’ve also done a rock version of DBSK’s “Mirotic” as well as a rock version of Wonder Girls’ “Nobody.”








Royal Pirates has also done covers of songs from Britney Spears and MUSE plus they have one original song on their YouTube page. If you’re interested, you can find even more info about them on their myspace page.
