whatever his reasoning, i thought his cover was cool except for that. crown of shit has different connotations than crown of thorns. that's probably what he was after when he changed it, if it wasn't the swearing thing, but i liked the original connotations more. anyway, yada yada...opinions...yada yada...assholes...etc.

I think the emotion that Cash put into the song made it incredible, nevermind the lyric change. I still love the original more. Sometimes another artist's take on a song, can be really good. I think this is a great example of that.

Meh the crown of shit/thorns thing isn't that bad, really. It irks me sometimes because they both kinda sound out of place but it just caught me after a weird conversation with some moron. I retract my previous statement of them being retarded.

 

I like Cash's version more than NIN's though.

I don't know sometimes the covers can be better than the original, not in this case, but look at Tesla's version of "Signs"(Way better than the original)...Placebo's cover of Depeche Mode's "I Feel You" is pretty damned good...not better than the original, but definitely sexier.

i'm not saying it never happens, i'm saying it's rare, especially with a song like hurt. it's not one of my favourite nin songs by any means, but it still seems like something untouchable.

100% agreed. the only other example of better covers than originals i can think of is stevie ray vaughan covering hendrix.

Every song from the World of Noise album is better than that cover.

Hey at least Johnny Cash is already dead so he can't cover any more NIN songs, amirite?

 

Tact:  pass it on.

any respect that you lost by saying that grunge was a lowpoint of music, you got back right there. kudos!

 

edit: My Violent Heart has been taken off all the sites I could find links for ;)
