Why is it that, with a cover, so many people are like "nice try, but nothing can beat the original"? Does it not occur to you that making a "better" version might not be the goal of the artist doing the cover? A lot of times, it's simply a show of respect to the original artist and the band is playing a song they love. Other times, an artist might hope to make it big by covering a classic song, but even they most likely don't expect it to be BETTER. Anyway, great song, great cover, period.
I think they did a great job at making the song sound good to their style...nothing's written on stone about taste...people who are more into heavier rock would like this style better I think...
northern kings version sucks it sounds like a molester in the air tonight phil collins is da best because its classic but in todays modern time non point wins the gold
I agree. Phil's version had suspense/drama in its buildup to the chorus.
While Nonpoint's doesn't have that, it's a great cover because it doesn't allow itself to be restricted by the original.
Far too many covers either try to faithfully recreate the original, thus sounding like a note-for-note copy without much individuality. Or they try so hard to be different they miss the mark entirely. Thankfully, Nonpoint seemingly made this of their own volition. Often bands are forced to do a cover.
see thats just a matter of opinion i grew up on phil collins (my folks are big fans of hsi) but i think this is better but then again i tend to listen to more hard rock and heavy metal stuff so this is better in my opinion.
There is no better version. Its preference. Phill was the creator. There is no arguing that. Personally I like this version. Its got more oomph, better instrumentals. He sounds less bored than Phill. Though Phills version had the best sounding drums and stuff.
these guys sing it an do a great job not to ruin a phil classic. its actually quite good thus y i searched it. altho they only sing it. phil seems to act the part thus it hits u harder.
I am a cover junkie! They always get judged because usually the original (as is the case here) is the best. Howevever, I like how they amped this song up a little. Another one (speaking of Collins) I liked was Land Of Confusion. On another note, why would you point out Phil Collins sang the original..lol!
its prettygood but it will never be better than the original by phil collins he is a legend and who ever trys to remake and top his songs they have no chance
Not as metal as I'd like it to be, but hey I'll take this cover over the other shitty ones out there any day of the week. I can't believe this band is the only one to successfully mix this song in with guitars =P
I actually like the new Miami Vice movie this song was in. A lot of people were hating on both this song and the new movie saying the originals were better and should have never been redone but I disagree. Variety is the spice of life!
the original version of this song is pretty good, but i think i like this one more cuz its faster. in the original, it was like one drum beat every ten seconds....
ppl say its better then phill collins version?? i dont get why? they've lost the meaning to that song!! you cant remake a song, thats been written and sung from some1's heart... other you get this, disarster.. could you imagine some1 singing 1 of eminems songs thats about his life? hallie's song? when im gone? no, because he has written then from his heart, he expressing his feeling and life into words.. ppl would laugh at some1 doing this to 1 of his songs, its no different with phil collins...
songs still have meaning to other people, so don't write it off immediately. Now i'm not saying that this does have meaning to them, but when they chose to cover it it could have been because it was relevant to them, or maybe reminded them of something in their lives.
its great i think, phil collins version is awesome as well, but i actually like this one better :D think its good for a band like nonpoint to sing a song like this :)
the guitarist uses a mesa boogie head from what i saw in a live vid i might be wrong but im sure hes using a tube head..way better than a distortion pedal haha
sorry guys. this version doesnt stand a snowball's chance in hell against the original. nonpoint rocks, this versions pretty good, but the original is pretty much a classic
Cool song. Can someone send me this song? I know that you can download this off of Limewire but I had problems with the audio file of this from there.
