Confession Time...

[khashka]

Marilyn Manson's cover of Personal Jesus is better than Depeche Mode's original.


Khash.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. Nah. I think Depeche Mode's was better.

[khashka]

5. You are just being contrary CG

But , because of the Viking Kittens, I'll forgive you anything....


Khash.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

6. I really do.

[tuvor]

8. Wasn't that DM's first single with a real guitar? n/t

[Crazy Guggenheim]

9. I don't know. I can't remember when they got Martin Gore.

[tuvor]

10. I believe it was many years before PJ.

I know DM *wrote* a lot of songs using acoustic guitar since early on, but I think PJ was their first song to actually feature anything that wasn't totally electronic.

But what do I know? I only paid close attention from Speak and Spell to Some Great Reward.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

11. You could be right.

[LaraMN]

2. No! Oh no! That's a sacrilege!

[khashka]

12. Sacrilege?

Violater sucked. Everything great about DM was missing on that album. Only the covers have any juice - MM's Personal Jesus, Tori's Enjoy The Silence....

3. Marilyn Manson's cover of Tainted Love

ROCKS MY SOCKS !!!! :yourock:

[khashka]

7. Oh come on!

No one can top Soft Cell on that one, heretic.


Khash.

[jonnyblitz]

20. soft cell's version is so limp and prissy. MM's ROCKS! nt

[khashka]

15. I repent....

Just downloaded MM's Tainted Love to my iPod and it totally rocks!
He's got that sort of growly viciousness that gets the emotion in the song just right :)

Khash.

[tuvor]

4. And Johnny Cash's is better than MM's.

[crispini]

18. yes. Johnny Cash's version is AWESOME.

[atomic-fly]

22. I third Cash's version!

[Left Is Write]

13. It is?

I confess I have never heard MM's version, but I have always loved that song.

[southlandshari]

14. Damn.

That's not what I thought you were going to say.

;)

[khashka]

17. What did you think I was gonna fess up to?

My life is an open book - and as I've been told more than once an overly melodramatic soap opera. I have little left to confess...

But here's one.... I loved you for your wit, charm, kindness - who knew you were beautiful too? (Re. your PM) Icing on the cake....


Khash.

[southlandshari]

23. Awwwwww

You said it - what I hoped you'd say! You love me! You really love me!

:woohoo:

And you even liked my picture, too?

Amazing. I was having a bad hair day and hated the outfit I was wearing when that was taken!

;)

[LynneSin]

16. I so totally agree with you on that one

I'm not the biggest Marilyn Manson fan but I do enjoy some of his music. But he definately improved this song with his version!!

[jonnyblitz]

19. i like Marilyn Manson's cover of Tainted Love better than

Soft Cell's original also.I never liked Depeche Mode...blech...

[kwassa]

24. The original "Tainted Love" by Gloria Jones is the very best

Soft Cell did a cover.

[DS1]

21. Rammstein's version of Stripped is better than Depeche Mode's original

and Marilyn Manson's cover of "Down in the Park" is better than Gary Newman's, and Johnny Cash's cover of Trent Reznor's "Hurt" is better, and Metallica's "Breadfan" was better than Budgie's original.

[NMMNG]

25. I like them both equally

I also like both versions of How Soon is Now equally--the one by The Smiths and the one by Love Spit Love. As to other songs that have been remade I have a preference of one over the other.
