Cover versions

Everyone seems to go mad on that, and I can't stand it. It's a bit like Johnny cash's version of hurt. I think he sounds awful and raspy in it, but everyone fawns over it. Each to their own I guess. :D



This is a decent cover, don't know if it's better than the orginal though
I'm not mad on the Disturbed cover tbh. The feel of the original suits what the song is about more I think but the JC version of hurt gives the song a whole new meaning. Again, the original is amazing but they're two very different songs. Even Trent has said he prefers the cover lol.

Trent is an idiot what does he know, it's not like he wrote the song or anything lol.

I suppose if you take JC's version as the last monologue of a dying man, it works perfectly. Or is that too morbid?

No I think that's exactly what was intended. He knew he was on his way out and managed to completely change the song and make it work in that way. The whole album is pretty much that vibe. It's actually really good but sad as fuck.

The video added to the change as well. I guess everyone who hears the NIN version these days first time , not knowing who NIN was, would say it's about saying goodbye for good.

He didn't say that. When asked if JC could cover it he was' wow what a honour, but didn't think it will work. When he heard the JC version for first time he said it was well made but it felt like his girlfriend fucking somebody else. Only later when he did see the video he understood what JC did with the song and he said ' I just lost my girlfriend because the song is not mine anymore
