OMG!! That is the BEST video!! That song has very personal meaning to me, not J. Cash's version, but the original Trent Reznor/NIN version. But when I heard J. Cash's version, I had to grab A LOT of tissue!!

As to me, right now, I just received, a late birthday present to me, the Super Deluxe Guns and Roses: Appitite For Distruction Boxset!!! SO COOL!! And 60% off MSRP on Amazon!! SO HAPPY!! So, I'm copying all the CD's to my Mac laptop, so I don't scratch the CD's. And a 5.1 Blueray disk of all the videos and songs as well! Such a cool boxset! And it's BIG!! I think 18-20" by 18-20", I didn't actually measure the box, and it's HEAVY! Very well done!! They have more on discount at Amazon if you are a fan. And it comes packaged in a form-fitting thick cardboard box to protect it during shipping(not done by Amazon), but by the manufacture, comes in flawless shape. I really appreciate that! Retail was about $120.00, on sale for I think I paid $62.00 brand new from Amazon. It's the best made boxset I've ever bought. So, that's what I'm listening to!

Wow....I just sped thru this collection of songs, brought back so many memories. I must be about the same age /generation ..(grad h.s. in '71 )
Joined the "Canoe Club" (USN- never again) , Oct. '72- 76 Went to college San Diego City college,76- 78 , grad w/ A/A Life Science,
transferred to San Diego State '78- ''81.. Grad with a BSN. Was going to go back into the USN, as a "O" instead of an "E", but by then, I'd got married, had bought my new Harley, and couldn't see giving up life in So. Calif. for military life.

I used to be into hard rock, ( rather listen to the Who> Beatles) .. saw only 1 Santana song in this collection,, ( no Samba Pa Ti ? ! ) and NO Allman Bros Band. ?
They were the BEST Southern rock bands, IMO . Saw Marshall Tucker band, when the 1st started out , @ a free concert @ UCSD soccer field,
I heard about on the radio. Also saw a free concert by Climax Blues Band @ same place.

My music taste / listening changed a lot, as I got older..went thru a Blues/rock stage for a few yrs.. Ever listened to Peter Green ? ( the founder of Fleetwood Mac )

Past few years, I started listening to contemporary Christian music.. Chris Tomlin got me hooked, then Mercy Me, Big Daddy Weave, Newsboys,and recently discovered Zack Williams. Hillsong Worship,, Elevation Worship, Matthew West, Francesca Battistelli , Dave Crowder , Jordan Feliz, Tauren Wells + many others.

When I listened to rock, it got me revved up, energized...contemporary Christian music has an almost opposite effect, it makes me feel calmer,
at peace, contented. It soothes the road rage I'd feel when I drive, and helps me be a calmer person when dealing with those I find annoying.

AC/DC 's Thunderstruck was one of my favorite songs, to get me going.. :)

Don't remember the title of the movie that clip is from..( Battleship ?) but I remember watching the movie.
Great part, watching those old vets get to do what they had done in the past.

only disappointment was seeing Liam, Neeson, one of those major league Hollywood hypocrites- a foreigner that made his career playing a gun-toting man-of-action, then speak out (often) against an individual's right to own firearms in the U.S.A. - as if his opinions are important or matter.
