Hurt

Imagine being to pussy to sing 'crown of shit' lmaoooo

We are not all in middle school user

imagine a future in which Cash covered Closer instead

too* - i'm aware there's someone in this thread who is particularly conscious of grammar/spelling

The Cash version exists so redditors have something to post in "What covers are actually better than the original" AskReddit threads. The NIN version is a lot harder-hitting in the context of The Downward Spiral. The Cash version is scrubbed-down sanitized shit that Cash's label forced him into doing to make a quick buck off a dying man's legacy.

'crown of thorns' gotta be one of the biggest cliches ever

This lmao. I shit myself today no thank you. Also nice dubs

I'm not sure how the fuvk they are even remotely comparable. AT ALL

yup typical cash fan

Can't wait for deepfake speech synthesis to get good enough to hear Johnny Cash say "I WANNA FUCK YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL" in his raspy baritone voice

It does feel pretty meaningful as a sad old man's last lament, but that's just what the video and Johnny's death added to it. Otherwise it's just another genre-swapped Johnny Cash cover amongst dozens of others throughout his career. I still prefer the NiN version within the context of The Downward Spiral

One ends a concept album and is stronger in context

In Flames

that doesn't make it a good cover though

What do you think of the Bowie+NIN version?

Jesus what the fuck happened to this band

I shit myself today

Yes it does

Johnny Cash was a backstabbing faggot
I dont care how hurt he was

Is that also the timeline where Nirvana covered Suffragette City?

NIN

cash's cover is soulless and and cringey boomer pop, a total disgrace to the original.

NINiggers can’t understand nuanced emotion If it doesn’t involve screaming or loud noises

what about the eddie vedder version

You sure about that?

what about the Mumford & Sons version

>Johnnys version is for a man that lived a long life full of regrets and it’s all bleeding out with him and his life force
Back to what I said here , if not for the circumstances of his death then it wouldn't been just another cover song. Imagine if he had died a year earlier and everyone thought his cover of Personal Jesus was the most poignant thing they've ever heard, or if he had chosen Big Iron as the next single off of that album

Love it, but I'm a Bowie dick rider so I'm biased

you forgot na na, unless there's a na na we can't understand it

How the fuck are they still allowed to be a thing?

Both it just depends on the mood you're in

Jesus Christ

except it fucking doesn't lmao. original revolves around mood and atmosphere, it's genuinely introspective and depressing (yeah yeah, the lyrics can be overly dramatic and "cringe", but that doesn't matter), sonically speaking, something that trent really does very well.
in the other hand, cash's version it's just a very lazy, boring, lame as fuck attempt to build faux nostalgia and memories through his regrets and whole entire career. everyone loves this cover because "omg it's johny fuckin cash!". but honestly, it's just meh.
this is coming from someone who loves cash and nin. so fuck off and stop with the "yup typical nin fan xD".

>I'm a Bowie Dick rider
Neat now I can get somebody's opinion on which sounds better: the Outside version of Hearts Filthy Lesson or the NIN remix.

I'd ask about Afraid of Americans too but the music video is way better than the one on Earthling

>it's genuinely introspective and depressing
Fucking Nine Inch Nails fans, Jesus Christ.

I prefer the original, has an oddly "sexy" vibe.

Feel the same way actually

calling it under case LMAOOOO
