Yeah, Jonathan Davis from Korn. I liked the one from a few years back more, but nothing can touch the original. Why must people remake songs that don't need it?

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald kicks ass, but it always makes me a little misty because my grandfather was one of the sailors that was on the ship.
