Comparing this to MM or even the original is like comparing the Johnny Cash and NiN versions of hurt.
They certainly made this their very personal version of the song, re-interpreting it rather than doing a simple remix. Not sure which one I like better since I love the original, but this one certainly gives you shivers (in a good sense).
The video itself certainly is a piece of art. Thanks a lot for uploading.
@nikosduke Manson is great but his version is basically the same as Soft Cell's only with loud guitars and loud drums. This at least is artistically re-interpreted. Art, yaknow?
i'm not going to turn this into a mudslinging match of which one is better. It really doesn't make sense to compare 2 versions of a song that are both made in completely different styles. If Coil made a version which was more industrial-metal than i can understand the possibility of a comparison. but in this case you're comparing apples and oranges.

is it really about the song or the song and the presentation and the onslaught of AIDS? Jackasses.
