Nothing wrong per say of covering a song. Look at Johnny Cash's version of Trent Reznor's "Hurt". Reznor himself said upon hearing of Cash's version "It was no longer my song".

Ray Parker copied Huey Lewis, not the other way round. As for the article... metal has a bad reputation? Is it still the 80s/90s or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with Trent here. Seeing NIN perform that song behind the giant screen was amazing. Don't care for the mighty Cash's version. And yeah, Ray jacked Huey on that Ghostbusters track, not the other way around as Butters points out. I think they even won in court...

I was a skinny 18 yo and there was a brutal moshpit with skinheads kicking people when they fell. Needless to say I watched the show from the back lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddhahoodlum Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I've been a metalhead since grade 6 or 7 when I first heard Ozzy's Bark At The Moon followed by Judas Priest's awesome Defenders of the Faith. My first concert was either Alice Cooper's Raise Your Fist And Yell or AC/DC's Fly On the Wall. I've been hooked ever since. When I first heard thrash metal grade 9 or 10 I was amazed music could be so fast and brutal with (mostly) very socially aware lyrics. When I first heard black metal it was Dimmu Borgir's Progenies of the Great Apocalypse. I absolutely loved the epic music but couldn't stand the shrieked vocals. My buddy told me to keep listening and after a few goes it really grew on me and now I'll listen to pretty much any and all styles of BM (excluding suicidal and Nazi BM) as long as they have those vox. I just LOVE the singing style. It speaks to my soul the way clean vocals never will. And right now black metal is about the only thing in my life that can make me smile.

Don't care for the mighty Cash's version. Well it's subjective isn't it? (no real right answer). I mean Robert Plant is a bit of fan of the band "Dread Zeppelin" (who often cover Led Zep songs) but fans of Led Zeppelin might not be amused by their "interpretation". You'd have to get me pretty drunk though to like this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the video made Cash’s version far more impactful. He still did a good job on the song alone and it certainly fits his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attila Umbrus Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 There was a good documentary on Netflix about the influence of Metal in other parts of the world...I can't remember the name of it sorry! But it was a great watch. They went all over to see when metal meant to others. In Japan they dress up and thrash out to bands as it's a way to escape their extreme pressure they face culturally to succeed and do well in school and at life. It's a way to remove themselves from the pressure and have fun. In South America and the middle east they use it to escape extreme dictatorship regimes. It's their way to protest but not get thrown in prison basically. There were other great examples of metal music freeing people from their strict social lives. In north america we take for granted how free we are to express ourselves in any way we like to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
