Both are good in their own way. NIN’s Hurt sounds like a young man at the end of his road with a life he knows he won’t ever be successful in. Johnny Cash’s version sounds like an old man who’s wife passed, his kids don’t contact him, his grandchildren barely know him, and everyone who loved him dearly and he loved dearly are either dead or barely remember anything. Both hurt in a different way

It is thee greatest cover imo. It is one of the only few covers that blows away the original which was pretty good. It doesn’t do the boring paint by numbers thing that most artists do by sticking close to the original. It starts out by doing unprecedented things with the guitar. And it only goes up from there with a soulful take. Those bends in the middle. Wow! It ends on an insanely high note, literally, that is very difficult to pull off. When other artists then tried covering that song, they tried covering Hendrix’s version instead.

Johnny Cash covering NIN really was a weird concept, but it definitely worked. I think Cash's cover is even better than the original, something that almost never happens. Also Puddle of Mudd's cover is S tier only because it's so funny to watch the lead singer's face as he clearly is severely constipated. It reminds me of Roseanne Barr singing the national anthem. Also also, anything MGK does is S++++ tier by default because he is the greatest musician of all time. Did you know MGK killed Osama bin Laden with his bare hands? Obama and Seal Team 6 get the credit, but secretly is was MGK. MGK also created the Covid vaccine.

Now combine this with literally never hitting a correct note ever. Not once. Wretched singer. Once I started actually getting good at music in my late teens, I had to tell him that I don't want to make music with him anymore because I'm not confident in his abilities (verbatim).

Alien Ant Farm’s first two albums were great! My best friend in high school gave me my nickname because of the original Movies vid, the one where they’re at the movies! Danial San, eventually turned into Dan Yolsen, and then to just Yolsen and that stuck all throughout highschool and a little after

I agree and I’m glad someone finally agrees with me on Alien Ant Farm.

Totally agree, Finn. I love Anthology, and it’s a shame Smooth Criminal is the only song that is recognized on a brilliant album.

There's a Broken Bells cover of The Beatles And I Love Her that I can't find anymore that was done live on a late night show and it's brilliant. So good.

I’ve never had bigger goosebumps for a song in my life than from Cash’s Hurt cover. That recording came out from the absolute depths of Johnny’s soul.

My buddy Tomás Gorrio can do a good rendition of "Chop Suey" on just an acoustic guitar, and it especially slaps when he brings out the foot percussion. I've also heard a great local hardcore-ish band, X.Y. Spaces, do a good version of "Sugar." The commonality is that these were live performances. People love being surprised by live SOAD covers, especially when there's some sort of gimmick. However, it doesn't work as studio material or an intimate, straightforward live cover because instead of everyone moshing and singing together, you only get to ask yourself why you're not just listening to the original.

I went to an AAF concert a long time ago and they were awesome. They signed merch and they were friendly. since then i've listened to some of thier music. i've never heard anyone say anything negative, and i wonder if they're happy to have a fanbase or bitter about being basically a one hit wonder.

I saw AAF years ago open for Linkin Park and Taproot. Live show had great energy. ANThology was a fun album. It's kinda cliché but it was a soundtrack to a party.

You can do pretty much anything from Joan Jett or Quiet Riot. They both made careers off of covers. That being said, you should include Social Distortions cover of “Ring of Fire” in the next episode.

My top votes for top covers would be A Day to Remember "Since You Been Gone" and Electric Callboy "Everytime We Touch" Honorable mention and guilty pleasure would be Stretch Armstrong "Get This Party Started". I also feel like New Found Glory should be mentioned but I don't know what song to pick.

When I was younger my dad had a group of friends (one of them taught karate and had a dojo) and they would workout together in the dojo and I would just hangout. The Alien Ant Farm version of smooth criminal was on their playlist and I’d just rock out and I became a huge fan of the band. I didn’t even know it was a cover for a few years.
