  • Sad thing this great band is no more.I think that we will be hearing from Ed, who is a one of akind singer/composer.The drummer will also be heard again, it would be stupid to leave that kind of talent go to waste. And yes, this has to be one of the best Cash Covers ever made.

  • COOL

    

  • DAMN, its kinda good!

  • GREAT !!!

  • poooor

  • 0:45 My eyes wide open...creepy

  • @Goldshteyn88 That's like my favorite part! haha ;)

  • pretty good

    

  • I Loved this cover since Chris Daughtry sang it on American Idol. and yes, I dare say, this cover is even better than the original, I think Johnny would be rocking to this in Heaven. :)

  • SO GREAT! NEVER PAYED ATTENTION TO THIS SONG UNTIL ED REMADE IT. NO DISRESPECT TO JOHNNY!!! ED SHAVE YOUR HEAD AND FACE AGAIN...CUZ YOUR HOT THAT WAY! : )

  • gayed up version of the original is shit

  • i dont like the original song - but this uhadad.. its GOOD STUFF.

  • dare i say better than JC...i love this...he sings it with passion... it made me goosebumpy....he's awesome :-)

  • I like this. So would Cash.

  • Where can i download this? Great cover btw

  • Comment removed

  • Kick ass version. I love it!

  • when that music kicks in it's like.....fuck.

  • This is a really amazing cover. I think Johnny Cash would have greatly approved of Ed having done this, because Johnny did the same with other people's songs. Its one thing to do what you feel. But, to take someone else's song and be able to sympathize with them and still give it enough of your own touch to make it new and fresh is a special work and talent in it's own right.

  • people try to compare too much, its His version, you have to listen to at as if he created it/ as if you never heard it before

  • You completely changed the song , I prefer the CASH version

  • Ed is so fucking cool!

  • to all who dislike this!!! If u wouldn't know original by Johnny Cash u would think is a gr8 song and thats it. Different aproach to LEGENDARY song and i love it. and dont get me wrong i love Johnny Carter Cash tru artist with hart of gold, iron balls and attitude of real man.

  • This is done so well , super cover Live , all time favourite.

  • I am addicted to this cover. Ed's voice is amazing and Chad Taylor's guitar solo is awesome!!! Live is so under estimated!

  • @SultanaMidnight81

    I totally agree. The voice of Eddie is exeptional. the guitarr and on the first albums the Bass is dancing with full grace. One of the worlds greatest bands for sure.

  • I shall be shameless groupie - forever!

  • One word only... EXCELLENT!!!

  • I think it's great! There was no way he could compete with Johnny Cash in conventional mode and in a Major key; this is a very interesting experiment.

  • this is shit

    why turn the key to a minor? it sounds terrible! and your voice simply doesnt reach the low notes either...

    agh!

  • @chrism216

    it's his own rendition of the song, and i think it's awesome.

  • @chrism216 I think switching to a minor key is appropriate for this song and is probably what makes it appealing to many. Ed does a good job with the low notes by keeping it soft.

  • Personally I think this version is better than the original. I tend not to deify artists though. Not dissing Jonny Cash, just think this version of his excellent song is better.

  • Ed's voice was live. Sad they broke up cause hes a douche, but his voice is still top in music.

  • Jeanine was right....

  • Keep coming back to listen in - great - love his version. Glenda-Marie

  • You've got a way to keep me on your side

    You give me cause for love that I can't hide

    For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide

    Because you're mine,

    I walk the line

  • Do you realize this by the band: "LIVE"

  • this guy is dope!?

  • How dare you mention Johnny Cash and John Lennon in the same moment. That's like mentioning Yahweh and FSM in the same prayer. Repent.

  • Brilliant version, Glenda-Marie..ty for posting

  • 109 people walked the plank

  • for you i know i'd even try to turn the tide...

    LOVE that line!!!

  • I think johnny would get a kick out of this....what a compliment....Johnny has done some trippy covers himself........LOVE LOVE LOVE Ed's Voice!!!!! And his passion for music!!!! Great lyricist, too....incredible!!!!! His band ain't half bad either!!!!!!

  • What a shitty way to sing and play such a beautiful song! Could it be more gay? Shame on you!

  • @sinwarrior you would know good music if it came up and bit you in the ass!!!!!!!!!!!! But perhaps you know all about gay, huh????

  • @sinwarrior Gay means happy! If you don't like it, the word you are looking for is BAD. The word gay should never be used negatively.

  • @sinwarrior the word gay means happy! If you don't like it, the word you are looking for is BAD. Gay should never be used in a negative way!

  • WOW I've been a huge Live fan since Throwing Copper and I never knew about this.

  • Perfect...>Touching...❤

  • The best version of that song, even better than the original in my opinion...

    Thank you very much omahaangel, and please What is the name that band?

  • @pobrefachatu 'Live'

  • @sickspic9591 And you also live:::)))

  • @sickspic9591 I HAVE SEEN SOME AMAZING, At first I thought the same song WITH THE TWO VOICES, BUT COMES A TIME TO HEAR THE TWO VOICES SINGING AT THE SAME TIME HAHAHA, JUST IN TIME -2:11 "

    I THINK THERE USED THE RECORD, SURELY

  • I don't get all the shitty talk!!! They are very talented and did a great version of this beautiful song. God bless you EddieK :)

  • wow anybody else insanely creeped out? bust out the restraining orders plz. You got skill.. but avoid the cash

  • Go fuck your couch, you dont fuck with johny cash you peice of shit hooker. You mom dropped you on your head about a million times, what gave you this brillant idea, I hope that you get shanked in an alley way, When you die I will be at your funeral just to piss on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! FUCKING BITCH!!!

  • I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night And happiness I've known proves that it's right Because you're mine, I walk the line You've got a way to keep me on your side You give me cause for love that I can't hide For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide Because you're mine, I walk the line
  • I like it, it doesn't deviate too far from the original so as to be not enjoyable, but it sounds sadder, and so I prefer the original because it seems to convey more strength of spirit than this version does. Nice job though.

  • I love this...really!!! wow!

  • it makes ya cry !

  • awesome kurwa!!!

  • he did a fine job I wish he did not say anything after it thats where thay fuck up..

  • lovely

  • This is pure crap.

  • @pvervloedquicknet I couldnt agree more

  • I love Cash and i love this too, a great cover of a wicked song, god i love you Ed!

  • To be honest, I like this version even better than that of Johnny Cash. I'm a fan of both artists (Live and Johnny Cash), but this version just flows more naturally IMO. Just like Johnny's cover of "Hurt" is better than that of Nine Inch Nails. RIP Johnny!

  • The guy singing won drag queen of the year in 2009

  • Great re-make of an old love song!!

  • Great version and maybe better than the original. Ed K is the man..

  • Until 1:00 you were singing like man... then like a fake and gay... Daaaamn!!! we dont need more "cebolla" here!! aweonao!! una lata cuando te poni cebollento sacowea

  • @BYUTES this version introduced cash to other listeners aside from country fans and ed made it his own, by far the better version

  • @drearystate you're right but you can't say It's a better version!

  • daughtry started writing music because of live, if it wasnt for Ed and his beyond spectacular abilities daughtry wouldnt exist, yeah he copied them

  • I just looked it up. I'm wrong. Live's version came first. Chris copied it for his performance on American Idol season five. It was not Chris' interpretation.

  • I was told Chris Daughtry did this version before Kowalszyk. Check out Daughtry's American Idol performance. They are almost identical.

  • @MaryCummins He performed that after this was released and he has been accused of copying it almost exactly for American Idol numerous times.

  • @ieatbabies4444 Yes, you are right. After I posted that I went to check the dates to be sure. This came first.

  • Comment removed

  • Seriously, our teacher used this today a hot yoga! So good!

    

  • Love this version.... But Cash is god.....

  • Love this version.... But Cash is god.....

  • I wasn't sure about this one but i gave it a listen. I did like this very well done

  • You haters know of course that one of Cash's most popular songs nowadays is "hurt", which is a cover. The originial is from Nine Inch Nails. I think he would have enjoyed such a great cover.

  • I loooooveeeeee this Cover version. Does anybody know, where I can get the Chords for guitar?

  • Love it.

    Would love it even more to see these guys together again...my fav band.

  • I love this song and I like very much your voice and your way of singing this song.

  • @shrekster2005 How rude are you.. What the hell would you know about Music! Because if you knew anything you would appreciate that this artist was paying respect to Cash and sees Cash as an inspiration! ! Ughh gets me so mad that cowards think they can say anything the like on the net because they hide behind a screen.. Grow up!!!!!!

  • Everyone is entiled to play the song the way they interpret it, but I find this loses the meaning of the song. I've loved this song since I was a little kid, this cover ruins it!

  • to be honest i hope johnny cash on hearing this version god rest is soul went barmy and saaid fuck off

  • A great version of a great song! Johnny we miss you !!

  • 91 dislikes!

  • I hate covers but...this one is a really good one. It's very rare that you see such a well done cover that pays so much respect to the original. Well done!

  • How can anyone, with any musical interest, call this crap? This is an AMAZING cover with a unique twist. Doesn't have flow? The way they carry it, with the high's and low's, tells a story. They took musical genius and mastered it.... their way. I'm actually a huge fan of this over Cash's own version with it's modern flair... yet beyond it's time.

  • uuuuuuh, what the hell is this?

  • make up your minds ....The singing is so deathly quiet and low..and then the instrumental parts are loud ..Song just doesn't have any flow

  • @MrLasider

    That's the point. Its supposed to create a omen like feeling.

  • Johnny Cash.

  • The more i listen the more i like, thi sversion could be a big hit , MuchLove

  • Crap..

  • @openroad88 Don't agree that it would be crap!Listen to it and be open for the music!I LOVE LIVE!!!

  • @margrietmac1 Yeah, I've listened to it, and it still sucks. I Walk the Line was my first favorite song as a kid. I'm open to covers but this seems a little overdone.

  • He's a great singer. Live was one of my favorite bands. To bad they had to split up.

  • this maybe chris daughtry's version but you still did real good.

  • @harriswa Chris Daughtry, in essence, stole this from Ed Kowalczyk when he was on American Idol: It was a huge scandal when he was on the show. However, Chris Daughtry sings this like it's his own though, which it - unfortunately - isn't.

  • @harriswa Dude...I saw where you keep making the same asinine comments all through out these posts. You have been told REPEATEDLY that LIVE recorded this arrangement in 2001. If you are really a Daughtry fan, then you should be able to hear, in his VOICE, who has influenced him as a singer! Listen to ColdPlay, and tell me you don't hear U2 and the Beatles...same for Daughtry, who clearly loved Live and SoundGarden...now quit being such an ass and let people enjoy what ED and the BOYS did here!

  • Amazing how the roots of the song are the same, yet Live makes it their own. Outstanding!

  • i dont think i liked it

  • beautiful

  • This is beautiful!! Well done!!

  • Well Done!!!!! What a joy!!!!

  • amazing cover!!

  • My fav cover of this great song. Recorded on a Sun Legacy Records album featuring other great covers as well.

  • a little spooky lol

  • I'm a big fan of Cash and this was a good cover :)

  • you sound alot like chris daughtry when he did this song.

  • @harriswa

    You do realize this was the inspiration for Daughtry's version on AI? It was recorded about five years earlier, in 2001.

  • @ukeheliel i know but nhe still did it good.

  • @ukeheliel NO SHIT

  • @riffmeister76

    Congratulations on replying to something that was written for someone else.

    When you can tell me what part of Harriswa's initial comment made it obvious that they knew, then you *might* not sound like a jackass.

  • @ukeheliel NO SHIT

  • wow.....

  • Thats fantastic !

    Nobody can it make better than you!

    your voice is fantastic..

    and that version is great...!

    Go on with it!!

  • he makes creepy facial expressions, especially at the beginning; i thought this was a joke but it wasn't bad.

  • i kind,n see what they were doing.but its too hard on the ears J Cash was fast and it had solid beat. to me to heavy

  • @easye1989 Eva dude. That is absolute horse shit.

  • Comment removed

  • @easye1989 seriously you carry a lot of anger mate. You must have a really shitty life.

  • why ?

  • Apart from his voice, I didn't even know that was ed with his beard.

    Ed looks the best totally bald

  • JC is great.. Live is great. Live's cover for JC's I Walk the Line is EPIC.

  • I really like how the biggest change to it was just putting it in a minor key. Well, that and a few harder rocking sections. :)

  • i love johnny cash but this is the best cover ever for walk the line

  • Avatar studio, right? That's where Mr. Mayer recorded Heavier Things and Continuum!

  • I love it!

  • I love this cover, But Id like to know what Tuning he's using and Possibly what the tabs are, Cant find any anywhere. (guitar)

  • Awesome cover!!

  • Im a huge fan of Jonny Cash,and this version is very good,they have given the song a new id which is but still keep the core of the song alive.

    well don

  • He looks like Jason Lee from "Jay and Silent Bob" when he has a beard.

  • This is different, I like it. I love Johnny, but that doesn't mean I won't expand my horizons to different versions of an amazing artist's works. Kudos to you, dear friend.

    :)

  • if you wanna make a political statement don't burn the flag, wash it!

  • You lose I.Q. points every time you shit.

  • copy cat.

  • well done ! You can recognize the sound and the theme but it is a very different perfomance. I think, it's good !

  • I like this version even more than the original. Great song from Cash, but Kowalczyk has done an awesome cover!

  • I just have a wide taste in music, hun. I like both versions, it depends on the mood i guess. This song is clearly different from the original, yes, but does it suck? No.

  • Dude you can do better

  • I thought it was cool. A new spin on a classic song. This guy made it his own.

  • @TheBrady666 I agree completely.

    I'm not a big fan over people who literally copy the song and call it a cover. This is brilliant.

  • we just watched a great tune completely murdered. Don't try to do this again, man.

  • amen

  • This guy sucks balls.

  • i hate it

  • this is a good version of the song and done in a new way i like it

  • very nice voice ! :)

    greetings from germany! :)
