    This may be interesting ;)

    Reminds me a bit of the cover version by Disturbed (Land of confusion on that case)

  • The first time I heard this version, I was really unsure about it. To my ear, it sounded a lot like Weird Al singing, and that really colored my first impression. It made my brain think of it as more a parody of the original song, as opposed to a parody of televangelists. After listening again, I was able to hear this for what it is.


    I'm not a big fan of the original, though I appreciate it more now than I did in 1992. And other than a couple things I've seen on YouTube, I don't know Ghost at all. All that said, I like this. It's not going to make me go out and buy the new Ghost EP that this will be on. But I liked it. It's pretty faithful to the original, just amped up a bit, and has a lot of the theatrical sound that I've heard in those few other Ghost songs. I thought the bridge in particular was really good.


    The metal cover I have wanted for years is Metallica covering The Knife. James playing rhythm for the keyboard parts, Kirk and Lars thrashing away, 15k fans chanting "We / are / only / want / ing / free / dom." The Live '73 version specifically; every time I listen to that, I can hear Metallica playing it.

  • It's very good, I'm a big fan of the original, I think it's one of Genesis' best rock songs. I'm not sure how much heavier this is though, the vocals are definitely not as rocky as Phil's. The choruses have a touch of Def Leppard about them. Overall I do like it though! The comments are interesting, people talking about checking out Genesis.
