Snuff. A slipknot song, rerecorded.

A lot of people wanted to see my hands the first time i did this, and some didn't think i was playing but the gear i had at the time knocked it out of sync ., so here is the cleaner version , i don't think it will have the recognition the first one had though. And Marshall still likes to hear it.

[@thatHRBNGRsound]

More Cohen than Cash, but 1,000,000 percent Frank.

[@trevor866]

What made Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt so impactful was his age. It’s something that Trent Reznor couldn’t replicate the depth in his lyrics and performance because Johnny added a timeline to the song. In Hurt you can feel a struggle…but in Cash’s hurt you absolutely know it’s been a life time of suffering. With respect to you Sir, you have had a profound effect on this song for much of the same reasons. You softened the tone of the song which took away the original angst and replaced it with pain. And your age added a timeline to this song. We get an entirely new performance out of your version. It’s much more of story in that sense. Loved every second of it.

[@bigduke1984]

You definitely hit the nail on the head.

Hear that bro. I sent this song with lyrics to a woman who I love but realize I've wasted 7 years of my life with, just to end up being used. She's a toxic narcissist, and I finally realize that she's never going to change . Stay strong and put yourself first, man. There are plenty of chicks out there who will appreciate you.

i am in tears since i found your recording. my wife and I separate. i did not know the song. especially the first line and some others cut so deep. 'you could not hate enough to love' and 'I couldn't face a life without your light. But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight'. simply true.

[@robwoodring9437]

"If you still care DON'T EVER LET ME KNOW" is maybe the hardest line, no matter who delivers it. Corey Taylor's delivery has more the tone of a threat, perhaps. Frank's delivery was more 'begging for mercy.' I felt that line way more personally here.
