Old vs New

**Feckless** · 3rd-July-2008

Ah that always interest me. Different versions of songs. Coverversions so to say.....I´ll start with shock the monkey. A song by Peter Gabriel

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oaSZxd9jOY"]YouTube - Peter Gabriel - Shock The Monkey[/ame]

Its not a bad song.....now hear this

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Wm_3Z9Ryg"]YouTube - Coal Chamber - Shock The Monkey[/ame]

Coal Chamber meets Ozzy....and the result....imo great. Far more feel to it. And Ozzys voice really suits that song. Well I say new wins. The question is....which is the weirder video?

feel free to add some more if you like

Land of confusion
The original Genesis version:

Disturbed Version:

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

**Feckless** · 7th-September-2008

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....

**Incognito** · 8th-September-2008

Old:

"Shout" (Tears for Fears)

New:

"Shout" (Disturbed)

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

**MadShangi** · 8th-September-2008

Disturbed sucks.

**Marx** · 8th-September-2008

Disturbed was complete shite.

**MadShangi** · 8th-September-2008

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.

**Incognito** · 8th-September-2008

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.

**MadShangi** · 8th-September-2008

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.

**MadShangi** · 8th-September-2008

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

**Feckless** · 14th-September-2008

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.
