Why do the Scots all have to make it about Scotland? Do you feel like the poor relation/short guys lol. Just asking. For example; if it was a cover of an American band's tune by Blur for instance, I wouldn't feel the need to say that 'my countrymen did it proud'

Better than the original. Oddly enough, i actually think this version is "heavier" than Korn's. Their's is more "grimy" and "seedy" I think. :D

[@ISCREAM.STORE1]

HM Axyl yeah this version is deep and dirty heavy, but still maintains crispyness round the edges, helped by the vocalist not growling or screeching or screaming. So it is very heavy metal instead of grungy imo

@@ДеницаФутекова Original stands as first and unique which started all the hype and because of that has my utmost respect, however it was more synthesized in vibe of spandex 80s and less rocky which was delivered in this remake.
