I don&#8217;t hide this fact. I remember listening to The Downward Spiral as my anthem of teenage angst and anger. I grew up in a tiny town (2,000 people) in a high school of 550. I felt like a freak and a weirdo. Nine Inch Nails was the music I lived on. I&#8217;ve had the privilege of seeing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintourhistory.com\/profile.php?userid=4737\">Trent Reznor perform live five times.<\/a> This music is the soundtrack to my life and today I fell into a hole of cover songs so I thought I&#8217;d share a few of them with you. There are many, many more online but these all stood out to me.<\/p>\n<p>Going to see Nine Inch Nails live is as close to a religious experience as I&#8217;ve felt. The crowd and the emotions and the music washing over me is one of the best feelings in the world. I always come home hoarse, sweaty and exhausted. But feeling so energized and amazing.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/NINprayer.jpg?w=629\" alt=\"NIN Live, hands raised\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie performing Hurt<\/h3>\n<p>This song gives me chills. Bowie and Reznor&#8217;s voice are amazing together.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/c7_Te7iDojA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Johnny Cash covering Hurt<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The Best Cover Song Of All Time.<\/strong> Cash takes Reznor&#8217;s words and comes to them from a vulnerable place and gives the song a whole new, incredible meaning.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/vt1Pwfnh5pc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Sevendust covering Hurt<\/h3>\n<p>Hurt is an incredible song and it&#8217;s nice to see another version of it. This one by stripped down and live on stage.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/lyZkXiaBepQ?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Linkin Park covering Wish<\/h3>\n<p>Wish is a great, if not forgotten song. This is a fun, live cover.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/bsS_cxv33R4?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Flyleaf covering Something I Can Never Have<\/h3>\n<p>I remember Reznor saying years ago he wanted to work with a female vocalist. It finally came to fruition with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjgnfrKy-HKAhUEND4KHYqHCTIQFggdMAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fhowtodestroyangels.com%2F&amp;usg=AFQjCNGXHa38jehR7mvdLTwEbI6uFAav0g&amp;sig2=GcFxW6_g0jN2EqXbp4g0xQ\">How To Destroy Angels<\/a>. I love Reznor&#8217;s music with a female vocalist. This is a great cover of a beautiful song.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Jq-MFSg_WqQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Corey Taylor covering Something I Can Never Have<\/h3>\n<p>The lead singer of Slipknot&#8217;s acoustic take on a haunting track was meant to be performed acoustically. Taylor has an amazing voice.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/VUtlqqjnKHE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>AFI covering Head Like A Hole<\/h3>\n<p>Early NIN sounds like electronic punk. AFI&#8217;s cover of this old NIN track fits perfectly.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/Kwqx8N-MHww?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Kawehi covering Closer<\/h3>\n<p>Closer is a song I don&#8217;t listen to much because it got so much play when it blew up in the 90s and I got tired of it. It became a party anthem for it&#8217;s &#8220;I want to fuck you like an animal.&#8221; But Kawehi&#8217;s cover is a rare and unique take on the track so I included it. The best part of Closer remains the piano at the end.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ItosTQ4PVlI?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love Nine Inch Nails.
