you know you're old when you're salty about kids thinking the cover version is the original
That said, Cash absolutely fuckin nailed that cover. I think it's way more emotional than the original. I'm sure Trent was proud as fuck at what Cash did to his song.
I know it's not a popular opinion but I don't think Johnny cash understood Trents original meaning of the song and turned it into a self aggrandizing song. Especially the change from "I wear this crown of shit" to "I wear this crown of thorns".
It just doesn't hit like the NIN version which clearly came from a very personal place.
Exactly this. It also lacks the gravity of an entire concept album preceding it and two minutes of static death sounds at the end. It's a sanitized cover of a song that shouldn't be sanitized.
I think it's similar, I think the thorns are the pain of regret that he wears for all that he has done. The crown of shit is similar in that it's worthless, he's a king of nothing.
He absolutely did and it's an unpopular opinion because you're positing that a song man who'd been in the business for 50 years couldn't understand the meaning.
He changed the line because of his faith, mostly.
If his faith was in conflict with the song, he should've left it tf alone.
Johnny Cash always nailed covers. He makes songs I thought were average sound great, and you believe every word he sings.
As a bonus, his version is way easier to play on guitar.
He's out and said it's Johnny's song now.
Unpopular opinion: His versions of One and Rusted Cage are better than the originals.
I'm old enough to have bought Downworld Spiral on release day, and I think Reznor wrote that song for Cash. It just took him and the the rest of us 20 years to realize it.
there are tons of covers that i love better than the original (if i like the original at all). just one example is lacuna coil's enjoy the silence
Don't look up something like all along the watch tower...
Written by Dylan and performed by Hendrix.
Narrator: it was not.
That's the important part.
Right? Like damn, I know that was a good cover but have we already forgotten it was a NiN song?
I love Fallen Kingdom. Who the fuck is Coldplay?
