Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.3/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 17.9.

Hmmmm those last couple of minutes ruin it.
Tempted to give it a higher grade just because it is an amazing song. That being said, this is a bad cover of an amazing song.
Terrible cover. G'N'R take Bob Dylan's intimate death hymn and try to turn it into, we are the champions. Camp, bombastic and totally unnecessary. Makes the Chili Peppers, subterranean homesick blues, sound like Hendrix's, all along the watchtower. Atrocious.
Fantastic cover. Like it way more than the original

This is an abomination. The entire band should be taken out and maimed for putting this godawful thing on record. Let Axl NEVER (try to)sing again. Maybe the worst vocal ever recorded. "Ay-ay-ay-ay" my ass.
Despite the voice, I'd take this over the Bob Dylan version everyday. I love the rock-gospel ending.
