Listening to both, I'd have to say that Johnny Cash brings more to the table in terms of raw emotion. What do you think?

IMO, Cash had more emotion.

IMO Cash killed a perfect song. I can't stand the Cash version.

the end of the last verse, when trent said 'beneath the stains of time, the fellings disappar.. you are someone else, i am still right here' and then leading into the chorus... there are few songs wity more emotion and i don't think anyone can do that song justice when covering it.

i find the cash one more emotional and more rousing....the NIN version is just so slow, which makes it come off cold and far away...at least to me..

the original one by far

Cash's version was cool because he made the song his own, but I don't think there's any way to top the original.

 

And if anyone's interested, Cash aso did a cover of "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden. Worth hearing, it's kind of funny.

I agree. The cover has more power in it, the vocals are better suited to the theme of the song, whereas in the original I thought the vocals were bland. The video for the Cash version is pretty damn good, too.

i love them both, but i gotta go with the Cash version. The video is especially amazing.

NIN version... but only because to many people think that Cash wrote the song...

 

Peace

NIN for sure, in most cases the original is the best!!

anybody know when the next NIN album comes out??

Posted

one just came out... are you refering to the one hes doing with dave grohl? im stoked for that.

trent reznor + dave grohl = one sweet threesome

Posted

it seems dave ghrol can make any record awesome

 

you got nevermind, songs for the deaf and all the foo fighters albums

Posted

have you seen the "big me" video before?

 

i love his pig tails...its a shame that he cut his hair

Posted

NIN by far...

 

And the new NIN album isn't out for whoever said that...Bleedthrough comes out early 2005...there's a webcam at nin.com and my friend from NO was the first to take a sign and stand outside the studio and got let in to hear it and a cdr with 2 tracks...she sent me the song "The Line Begins To Blur"....it owns all of your asses.

 

Thanks and have a nice day.

While we're discussing Dave Grohl, let's not forget PROBOT!

 

Awesome

 

and Both versions of this song are amazing. I picked Cash's solely because the video is absolutely heartbreaking.

o.t.: Probot? Explain!
