I'm multi-talented. What can I say? Btw, I'm here less than you imply. There are many days I don't post anything.
I find much about you to be unbelievable as well. But not in a good way.
OT: Tracy Chapman at the Grammy’s

As I said
You’re an admitted internet troll, as you never advance a conversation nor even add anything or consider any other perspectives
Even when offered free club seats to actually attend a game
Another great cover in my opinion:
Zombie by Bad Wolves. Originally by The cranberries.
Also The Sound of Silence by Disturbed.

You may already know this, but before she died Dolores O'Riordan heard their version of the song and liked it so much that she agreed to come in to the studio and sing with them on the version of the song that was going to be released. When she died in a London hotel, she was there because that was the day she was going into the studio to record her part.
This is the kind of post that does not advance any conversation because it claims I said something I never said.
Interesting to read this thread at this point. A good one that devolved into some weird pissing match. As to the original topic, haven't seen the duet yet. Will have to track it down. Age dependent? For sure. If you were a 20-something when the song broke out, I'd guess you knew it. Another example of an obscure artist having the inspiration, brilliance, or good fortune to put together a classic that took off and got the necessary airplay to ascend. But, ya, it was a pretty huge sone back in the day.
Don't know Luke Combs, and even if he does a great job on it, it would be hard for me to hold it above Chapman's iconic version. Kind of like Darius Rucker bringing back Wagon Wheel. Sorry, Hootie, Old Crow did it better. Of course, wouldn't have minded hearing Dylan finish it and put it out himself, but Old Crow did a mighty good job with that one. Nothing wrong with Covers/Remakes, but they don't frequently add much more than reintroducing a good song to a new generation of consumers.

Man I hate both of those covers. Saw bad wolves earlier this year and they were a big yawn for me. I am not a fan of fratboy bro rock. But apparently they are a popular band.
man, i will very respectfully agree to disagree with you on wagon wheel. Rucker's remake on it is one of the few rare examples of a vast improvement..
Sort of sped it up, added some "rock" feel to it to make it soo much better. again, in my opinion.
Well, as long as you "very respectfully" disagreed. LOL I prefer the Old Crow version, but can live with Rucker's, too. Still have to track down this duet version of Fast Cars.
we've had our share of "best pizza in pittsburgh" threads and "best beers" and best movies and best whatever and people come off and say, YOu are wrong, im right, blah blah and it comes off as ridiculous since it's all subjective so that's why i say i respectfully disagree and dont make definitive statements on such topics..
Same -
Rare covers which are improvements
Hendrix all along the watchtower
Cash “hurt “
Janis - “ me and Bobby McGhee”
That’s the list
I really like Social Distortion’s “under my thumb”
And DMB “ watchtower “ version on red rocks
Korn covering “Wicked”
Too
Let me also add Alien Ant Farm “smooth criminal “
He confuses his opinions as facts frequently
But being the admitted troll he is -
Chimed in on a music thread to talk about himself (despite not even listening to music , himself )
I have never understood why people say cash covering hurt is superior to the original...no it is not. Trent wrote such a deep song that lyrically was the opposite of the nihilistic downward spiral album. Cash's cover isn't bad....it's good...but it isn't superior to NIN
Well when it comes to music or any performance/art who’s to say? Things hit different. It’s all subjective.
No 100% correct. That is absolutely true. I just find it interesting that the general public consensus is hurt with Johnny Cash is superior to the original. I disagree wholeheartedly. But is my opinion right and others wrong? Obviously yes. 😉
I believe it elevates the song with new perspective .
I love industrial music and downward spiral is a masterpiece .
Cash is hurting for a different reason - so his singing is amazing it’s not about the performance is superior
It’s that cash makes it so personal ..
Frankly, Trent agrees as well - it’s why he released it to cash

Which was absolutely the height of irony.....because what he bragged on himself, revealed one of the most boring and boorish people I have ever come in contact with real or cyber.
Great line, calling him The Closer lol...when he comes in they delete the thread
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone......"
WHACK!!!!
"Damn you NCPitt!!!!!"
WHACK!!!!
"Damn you NCPitt!!!!!"
I have to strongly disagree with this one. I think that is a pointless poor cover that’s clearly a money grab. To your list I will add Aretha Franklin covering Otis Redding with Respect, the Talking Heads covering Al Green’s Take Me to the River and Crosby Stills and Nash bettering Joni Mitchell’s Woodstalk.
I would say that is Reznor paying respect to the legend that is the man in black. Reznor has achieved at the highest level. He can defer at this point in his career
Music, being subjective.....is subjective. Nobody is right and nobody is wrong. It's what ever you like or whatever moves you. I personally loved Luke Combs cover and thought the Grammy duet was wonderful
I’m just not the NIN fan that you are. He has a certain place in industrial history for sure, but his version of Hurt kinda borders on whiny. And now, when the world thinks of this song, they think of it as Cash’s.
pearl
jam covering just about anything but particularly crazy mary bob dylan and pink floyd
maxwell a woman's work > kate bush
george benson unchained melody
hendrix all along the watchtower
