Leonard Cohen plagiarized, no baffled kings in this version.

Fractal chaos was never such a bad idea. It gave us this fun illusion after all. ;p Geesh. How could they do this to such a good song?

I'm going to guess Lenny got credit. Great Song, big Cohen Fan (early stuff)

I still fail to connect the dots. How does someone being tortured, executed, and then rising from the dead do anything for me? It's all a little creepy, really.
I do dig some some Cohen, though. I like my minor thirds and major lifts with some good torture porn.

Sorry but Leonard Cohen, the great Canadian, wrote the song first.

Sorry, I write English like an idiot. Leonard Cohen has been plagiarized is probably what I should have said.

I believe he meant "Leonard Cohen "has been" Plagiarized"
I read that wrong the first time myself.
Sorry to be a "grammar monkey."

No worries Necash

This band would have to pay royalties to Cohen so they don't risk getting a big huge lawsuit

I lasted less than a minute on that video. Not a fan of brutality videos. I'm not sure what that was supposed to do for a person besides make them press stop on the video. I found it irritating right from the start because I love Leanard Cohen's writing.

And after I heard KD Lang sing Hallelujah.....There's no way I could enjoy someone butchering the song.

Uhg...........Changing the lyrics like that from Cohen's original is pure blasphemy!

BTW my favorite cover of the song is by John Cale (he covered it before it was cool to cover the song, lol)

I'll see your Halleluja and raise you a Bird On A Wire.

Best Cohen re-make I've heard since Concrete Blonde did Everybody Knows.
