DGAF if he was dying. It sounds like absolute garbage. NIN 100 times better. I’m tired of hearing how great a cover it is. It sucks!

I cannot stand the Cash version, this is certainly not a troll.

I don't know about "worst", but I agree that it's vastly overrated and became a "thing" to agree with, whether you agreed or not.

Other examples:

Prince's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" solo (we had a whole thread on that last year I think)

acoustic version of "Everlong"

Without the video, it's an average song. The video adds a lot more to it.

I usually don’t tell people their opinions are wrong but you’re wrong.

People aren’t able to differentiate between a good story and a good song. The cover has a good backstory, but it isn’t a good song. People act like since the cover has a good backstory it automatically makes it a good song.

Johnny Cash can't sing. Even in his prime. He talks.

That fits his style of music, but does not translate into other genres.

I won't say it sucks, but it's not something to celebrate.

I like it, but you are entitled to your incorrect opinion.

Most over rated solo ever.

I have to agree here.

I've seen way too many times this song listed in "Best Covers" lists and discussions.

After seeing Trent do it live again last month, it is not even a question of the original being superior.
