Land of confusion
The original Genesis version:


Disturbed Version:


In Flames Version:



Hard to say who wins....I like the Genesis video but would prefer the In Flames sound...ah well

oh and btw...equilibrium is a fucking great movie!

What a development.....

Rich man - Rich girl
Real oldschool "Fiddler on the roof":


Oldschool:


Gwen Stefani:


For me Gwen wins by far.....the first one is really cool though....

Old:

"Shout" (Tears for Fears)



New:

"Shout" (Disturbed)



My opinion: the better of the two: definitely the older version...lol

Disturbed sucks.

Disturbed was complete shite.

Another friend of mine, who is a musician were having a discussion about Disturbed one day. He rightfully pointed out that every song they do sounds the same. The singer sings the same way for every frickin' song. It's lame.

Agreed!

I'll go one further. I hate Disturbed not only because all their music sounds the same, but it was my ex's favorite band AND he liked to get smashed and play this song really loud, get really angry, and yell out these lyrics ...into my face.

Talk about disturbed.



I swear to you when he did this it really seemed to me like he was possessed by an evil spirit. This video seems appropriate in that context.

Walks down memory lane...ain't they grand.

Geez. Your ex sounds like a real winner. LMAO.

I just get the feeling that the lead singer wishes he were Maynard from Tool, but falls short.

It's really weird, really, MadShangi. He could be in a really great mood, have a few beers, hear this song (or any song by Disturbed), and turn into a total asshole in less than five minutes.

Sounds like someone has bad taste in music AND can't handle his liquor. Tsk tsk. Kids.

Okily dokily.....another one

The old:
NiN - Hurt
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFx2TmQfM-o"]YouTube - Nine Inch Nails - Hurt: Live[/ame]

Just found a live video

The cover:
Johnny Cash - Hurt
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go"]YouTube - Johnny Cash Hurt[/ame]

Funny thing about this. I heart the cover first. And I really prefer the cover. The video is awesome and the voice of Johnny really really makes this song much better. Arround the release Johnny Cash died. So although I had never heard of him that really made me sad and I found myself listening and listening to that song again and again.

Johnny Cash led an interesting life. He struggled with addictions, and overcame them, but the road to recovery was very bumpy, indeed. Knowing his history makes the song "hurt" all the more poignant.
