AFI cover a Nine Inch Nails song!

For those of you that haven't heard AFI's rendition of the NIN classic, "Head Like a Hole", I suggest you follow this link to download the mp3. Get it while it's still up, because it won't be here for long.

Be sure to keep an ear out for the song when it appears on the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas video game. Anyway, go check it out. In my opinion, it's pretty awesome. Then again, I know hardcore NIN fans would most likely hate it.

thats like shit covering shit. thanks for the news

fuck AFI. my band does "That's What I Get". poseurs do popular singles covers...

edited to say that i'm still DLing it to see what it's like...

downloaded it.





did I mention I thought it was complete crap?

Finally the most awful thing ever.

It's OK. The original version is a lot better.

I like the NIN version much better.

thats doesnt really sound like davey

that's really funny for some reason...

*cries*

I can't believe Trent would okay this. Wow. This is bad. Damn.

I might be a little partial to NIN, but I do like AFI. But this just sucks.

Well, I don't like AFI and I prefer the NIN version.

And the thing is that Trent helped the record the song. Least, that's what I heard.

Okay, everyone seems to be jumping on this, good and bad, I need to check this shit out finally.

man, im a big nin freak, and i think afi is shit, but what the fuck, i kinda like it. and i was very negative going into this. i dunno what the fuck is wrong with me

Davey needs to scream more during the song and less at the end. Cmon now. Do Trent good.

horrible

I think my entry says it all.

I like both bands immensely, but this isn't that good yet. I hope the finished version is a little more polished.

You mean this isn't the final version?

There's still hope!!!!

i love AFI and NIN but i do not love that cover if that come on in the game when im playin GTA i think i will be turnin the radio over

Well...at least they're not covering Closer or Terrible Lie....

Rumor round the water cooler is that this version is unmastered, and somehow was leaked out. At least I hope so, otherwise, they or Trent needed to do some more work on it.

being both an AFI and NIN fan i perhaps am too open minded on this...but i think its pretty decent...the only problem with it really is that it isnt different enough, so i think we are all listening and going ohh this sounds nothing like trent, and i think maybe if they had added enough of their own style and influences then maybe people wouldnt be so upset with it. Like when Johnny Cash covered Hurt, it was different enough that you didnt really listen to it as a old NIN song but as something new.

It's kinda lame...sounds more like ripped off instead of covered.

Ahh that would make more sense then. I've always been told that Trent's a perfectionist and this would NEVER pass the test.
