The NZA Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ive no idea why one of the best musicians of all time never got this thread, so here it is. Cash was the best. Cash > Dylan > your favorite artist. Tribute to Cash - God's gonna cut you down video - featuring Keith Richards, Bono, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Johnny Depp, Kanye West, Chris Rock, Terrance Howard, Amy Lee, and many others, all dressed in black. Also: Video to Cash's cover of "Hurt", still prolly one of the most touching videos ive seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 you can get the fuck out of this thread, you cash-hatin' commie. you know the pieces of crap your asshairs catch that just arent large enough to really be dingleberries? Cash had them, and they were each, individually, more talented than anything you like. additionally: i like how country music is trying to claim him as one of their own posthumously.

the division of joy Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 when have i ever said i disliked cash.... i like him... i just prefer dylan... so what you're saying is.. cash's dingle berries are more talented than cash himself? fun man... Fun... i do however fail to see how dingle berries could compare to the likes of hendrix, the doors, the smiths, new order, joy division and many of the other great bands i listen to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, The Doors need their own topic too if they dont got one... Anyway, it occured to me the other day that one of the books i lost on my misadventures on the dallas highway was Cash's autobiography that i never got to read, i should look that one up at abe's books. I'm gonna go listen to "25 minutes to go". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 aw man, you havent seen it? really? It was his final works; that video i put up at the start, "God's gonna cut you down" is off of there; amazon says "Like The 309" was actually the last song he wrote...IV is fun for his excellent covers, but V was the last of his original works, barring any unreleased material that comes out at a later date. Im gonna go add the day he died to our calendar, but if you want V, ill burn it for you man, its what he'dve wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Cash the only man capable of making country music listenable. His five american albums are all class, people go and on about hurt, which is a great song. but i prefer i hung my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 that's a great one, too. I personally never got over his live stuff at Folsom & San Quentin, those're just badass performances. I heard he did stuff with Marty Robbins (another one you might dig), but i havent found any yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alive she cried Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I've been meaning to pick up cash's live albums. I heard he did stuff with Marty Robbins (another one you might dig)never heard of the guy but i'll look him up. No love for Willie Nelson? I've obviously heard of the guy, but i could'nt name one of his songs. is he anywhere near as good as cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alive she cried Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Not a chance. I know they wrote it and everything, but i don't think it's even close, the only better cover version of a song is all along the watchtower by Jimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 the only better cover version of a song is all along the watchtower by Jimi Yes. Though really I'd say Nine Inch Nails did the better version of 'Hurt'...overall Cash wins out. What a voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I know they wrote it and everything Do people actually refer to NIN in the plural tense? It's just Trent Reznor. It's one man with computers and access to studio equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 yeah, but he has a revolving door of others helping out. Its mostly his show but there's others involved. i still say nine inch nails do a better version of hurt you can be wrong more than once on the same thread, i dont see why not. but i don't think it's even close, the only better cover version of a song is all along the watchtower by Jimi You should hear STP's cover of "Dancing Days", but this thread's about Cash, not Zeppelin or people being constantly wrong. Anyway, the live albums - specifically, Live at Folsom Prison and the San Quentin one - are just the definition of classic. His first performance of "A boy named Sue" and a few others, his best versions of "Folsm Prison Blues", "Wanted Man", "Cocaine Blues' and a few others, and hearing the warden fuss & prisoners cheer in the back only rebuffs it. Check em out man, you wont be dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 see, but that's why no one listens to you young bucks. Youre comparing a classic storyteller from like, elvis era who never really got his due, but paved the way for so many after him, and showed amazing versatility for a baritone country/gospel singer, orignally, and you cant name a classic artist that didnt take from him and look up to him. and youre comparing him to reznor, who's no doubt an innovator in the genre of industrial (though he didnt create it) and has an impressive body of work for his age, and a lot of my respect as well, but is a legend and a great contemporary artist. Youre right that they shouldnt be in the same sentence - cause i made a thread here about the equivalent of what jimi did for the guitar, and you come in crying that, somehow, slash isnt getting his due. You havent said a thing since this thread started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 when the fuck did i cry about slash not getting his due? and its just all an opinion man.. i honestly don't see anything special about cash... and i don't see why he is supposedly so influential... but if you see it.. cool.. more power to ya... he was just never my thing and the more i listen to him, i doubt he ever will be my thing... we can agree to disagree without going all arch and jumbie on this, right?

The NZA Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 it was an analogy. an analogy's like...fuck it, i wont ruin the surprise. and whereas id normally see where taste cant be argued much, there's preferences and levels of ignorance. I can tell you im not a big fan of Pink Floyd, for example, but if i come in and tell you Puddle of Mud pwns them, id appreciate it (mebbe down the road) if someone who knew music history & had more refined tastes put me in my place. Thats why this isnt jumbie/arch/jax etc. This isnt elitism, its education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
