Nope. I like johnny cash but this is a butchering of the original song. The original NIN song has so much more depth to it, like the distorted guitar and ambient noises in the background. Trent's whispering voice fits the song much better than Cash's. This version just feels way too clean with its generic sounding guitar chords. Sorry for the autism but this really gets on my nerves

First song that came to my mind

Something about Radiohead and his lifeless voice, if you get some guy with a different pitch the song just becomes amped up by 20.

Radiohead is still great, I just think this is better

I'm not even anon and I disagree with you, only thing lead belly's has is the grainy background cause of the recording equipment, Kurt Cobain screaming at the end makes the song 10x's better anon.

>>72408501
The fact that people think this is better than the original completely blows my mind.
The original was an emotional experience the first time I heard it. There is so much pain in Trent's voice, so much emotion and the music complimented it all.

The Cash version just sounded generic. Like Johnny forcing it. It just sounded fake compared to Trent's version.

Basically every Nirvana cover.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRLCe-q_R0A

>>72411709
Yeah I agree, I saw the Cash version used in the Logan trailer and it legitimately pissed me off because I knew a bunch of faggots were either going to think it was cash's original song or flood the NIN version's video with "Liek if Hugh Jackman sent you here XD".

>>72411718
>Somehow made a David Bowie song even better

Based Cobaine

>>72411718
Except Plateau

Best Nirvana cover is Lake of Fire

>>72411464
I still firmly believe that this cover is the greatest synthpop song of all time.

>>72408501

lol cash took a nu-metal cringefest and actually made the world take the most melodramatic song of all time seriously for a second. Reznors version sucks and he even thinks Cash did a better job.

did anyone know this existed?
Post malone covering bob dylan. not fucking bad

>>72412342
i agree, lol i give him credit for his songwriting but the song was not well executed. Definitely enjoy johnny cashs version way more

>>72410709
Both of these covers are fucking horrid, especially the Karma Police one.

It isn't better than the original but I would say it's just as good. I don't get why so many people despise it.

>>72409065
You are absolutely right, it's a waste getting upset with the plebs, they just don't know any better.

Gira doesn't seem to like an awful lot of his work though, hence why reissues have different takes, why some didn't get reissued until recently etc.

Johnny thunders - great big kiss

>>72412342
This. People who think the NIN version is better are just being contrarians. The song is much more powerful without the distorted guitars, whiny ass vocals, and other assorted wankery. When you hear the Cash version you feel the pain of a man who's been to hell and back. Reznor's version sounds like it was made by an edgy 12 year old whose mom took his xbox away. Even Trent himself was fucking blown away by how great Johnny made that song.

>>72412521
Because shitty hip hop pays a lot better nowadays

other people (like me) heard this version first
wanna who likes which version?
also you're probably considering the original as part of its album, but not not giving similar consideration to the cover

>>72413082
Except that post was slagging off Johnny's version and singing the praises of NIN's

Here's The Body and Thou playing a live set together. This was the first time I checked either band out. Didn't realize the first song was a cover (Marilyn Manson - Irresponsible Hate Anthem) and loved it, thought it was fuckin awesome 2 drummer stoner stuff. I was disappointed to hear what these bands actually sound like, but the first song they play in this video is awesome. Looks like so much fun to play.
