Really?    Madness. I have my reason, Butcher. My head knows I'm wrong and I half admit that, but it's to do with something I was on the receiving end of - while Manson's song was playing - from someone who was on the telly. I'm an emotional, sentimental old chap and the resurfacing of a moment that makes me go "Merciful hour of bejays, that actually happened" because of a song is what triggers the illogical side to my choices and likes. Same reason I think Liberty X's version of Ain't Nobody is better than the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Marc Almond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2019 In my defence, I said I’m with him that it’s a cracking cover, and it is, not that it was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted August 15, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2019 It's a shite cover, horribly produced. He adds nothing interesting to the Soft Cell version, which is fantastic. I liked his version of Sweet Dreams, but you can't pull the same trick twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a patch on Johnny Cash's version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Cash's version is a three minute sleeping tablet. I was firmly on the Hurt bandwagon - despite the original still being better - but the Personal Jesus cover is just a croaky, so-so jukebox rendition, beguiled into something else by the whole "isn't he lovely and dying!" sentimentality. It's a half decent blues song, but the sleazy leather Kraftwerk vibe Depeche gave it is what makes it a world beater. I've stepped in it there, haven't I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Coil's cover is my favourite, Marc makes a cameo in the video too. It's a dark take on the song and was the first single to give profits to an AIDS charity. Edited August 15, 2019 by Merzbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I really loved that entrance and the interpretation of the theme, but then, I also think Marilyn Mansons' version of Tainted Love shites all over the original, so I wouldn't ever listen to me about anything.   On 8/12/2019 at 6:23 PM, Hannibal Scorch said: It's a cracking version, so I am with you on that. I loved the original version, but this update fits the new Fiend to a T, so I am all on board for it  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
