Read the Wiki article about "the man in black" and I /dare/ you to dismiss this song. If you're still unconvinced, and have read about his life story, watch his cover of "Hurt." He only, obviously, covers songs that mean something to him .. and to his listeners.
@kilian227 Oh really? Personal Jesus came out in 1989 on the Depache Mode album "Violator". Johnny Cash covered this song in 2002 on the album "American IV".
@Sketch1994 The Cash version is marvelous but the Depeche mode version is a masterpiece so impossible to compare both....Wait for the Bieber version to have a serious compare
how in the fuck did i not know johnny cash did this song first, all southen baptist preachers like johnny cash-----but they shit their pants if you recite a prayer in latin, then they get all bible beaters to beat you if they hear you mentiojn marilon manson.

Rick Rubin asked ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante to re-work an acoustic version of Martin Gore's song, which featured a simple acoustic riff that stripped down the song to a blues style. <3 John Frusciante.
Jesus christ... This song has no god damn religious significance. "Your own personal jesus" means that people need to find something tangible in their life to believe in and to rely on for support, not the invisible man in the sky or the flying spaghetti monster. How this could be mis-interpreted is beyond me.
@celcius119 Sod off. I've got nothing against athiests in general, but I detest fanatics who can't listen to a good song without insulting other people's beliefs.
@ceciburwell almost 99% of all the people listening this song, don´t do it with religious reasons, who are you trying to impress?¬¬, and it spells "ATHEIST"
Wikipedia: "Johnny Cash recorded "Personal Jesus" for his 2002 album American IV. Producer Rick Rubin asked Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante to re-work an acoustic version of Martin Gore's song, which featured a simple acoustic riff that stripped down the song to a blues style. Frusciante plays guitar on the track, along with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell."
@gpenn2 They think Marilyn Manson probably did it first hahahahaha @inhalethispoison, you're a dumbass. Depeche Mode did the original and will always have the hit and better version with it. Learn your music before you start acting like you know shit
As a child of the 80"s,,,, I liked it, at least I can understand the words (yeah!)Beat was good..Wished I wasn't so popularized that I missed him this way...
personally i like johnny cash but i feel mansons better mostly cause this song fits him more and i dont like this style music...but this is still great :)
He didn't pull this one off sadly. Hurt he did a good job on, but this one doesn't sound right at all. He had good music choices though, Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode are pretty groundbreaking as far as new music is concerned. Not bashing johnny at all, just saying this one didn't come off well.
Depeche Mode's singing with his guitar playing would make it much better. Nothing against Johnny Cash, but his singing, at least in this song, is awful!
happy 80th Birthday Johnny you will always live in our heart
