I actually watched The Carson Daly Show last night because I am strung out on painkillers and not thinking clearly. But I was glad to discover this band....

nervas - One of my biggest concert-going regrets was never getting around to seeing S-K when they came to town. Seemed like I was always busy working or too broke or something. I hope they get back on the road someday - I won't blow it a second time.

Those are sweet mullets!
On an unrelated note, I assume someone has already posted this somewhere in the bowels of this thread or it's precursor, but it bears repeating.
Trent Reznor, after hearing that version, said the song now belonged to Johnny Cash.
excellent video, also.

It's funny, the difference between a man and a boy singing the same song. That's how I see it, anyway.

When I first heard that song I thought (as I often do), "Oh, you hurt yourself to see if you could feel! You poor, whining bitch, go fuck yourself." And that's still the feeling I get when I hear him sing it. Go fuck yourself.
That guy is fine for what he does, whatever you call that scratchy useless shit, but he'll never carry the weight that someone like Cash does. Because he'll never have the experiences in his life to give his music or his voice any of that soul or power. It's not his fault that he's hollow, but he is. Compared to his peers, he's good, and really, I like his philosophy and a lot of the things I've heard him say. But you can't compare that cranky little whisp to any old school singer. There is no comparison to be made.
The Cash cover of his song proves that now and forever, and it says all that needs to be said about that. He didn't give that song to Cash, Cash took it.
FTW

That's good. Whatsitmean? :DD
he and Strummer did however cover a Bob Marley song. it's good, but doesn't resonate like the original.
