Re: Cover or Original?
That Neil Young/Redlight King, combo I wouldn't call a remake. More like a sampling or a remix.
As for the Trent Reznor/Johnny Cash thing, I like Trent's explanation of it:
I love how Johnny closes the lid and runs his hands across the piano at the end of the video, especially since this was the last video he ever filmed.
As for remakes, I nominate Ted Nugent and Motorhead for "Cat Scratch Fever" (personally, Motorhead gets my vote)
As for the Trent Reznor/Johnny Cash thing, I like Trent's explanation of it:
Trent Reznor: Rick Rubin has been a friend for a long time, and he called me asking how I felt about Johnny covering "Hurt." I was flattered, but frankly, the idea sounded a bit gimmicky to me. I really didn't put much thought into it, as I was working on something at the time and was distracted. A few weeks later, a CD shows up with the track. Again, I'm in the middle of something and put it on and give it a cursory listen. It sounded... weird to me. That song in particular was straight from my soul, and it felt very strange hearing the highly identifiable voice of Johnny Cash singing it. It was a good version, and I certainly wasn't cringing or anything, but it felt like I was watching my girlfriend f**k somebody else. Or something like that. Anyway, a few weeks later, a videotape shows up with Mark Romanek's video on it. It's morning; I'm in the studio in New Orleans working on lack De La Rocha's record with him; I pop the video in, and... wow. Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore. Then it all made sense to me. It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. Some f***ing how that winds up re-interpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning different, but every bit as pure. Things felt even stranger when he passed away. The song's purpose shifted again. It's incredibly flattering as a writer to have your song chosen by someone who's a great writer and a great artist.

So I love the Okanagan but it's a place best enjoyed from atop a very large pile of $100 bills. - Spocky
