I love the S&G version. I also recently heard a Gregorian version of the song that sounded really awesome. I heard it off of this cd called Gregorian - Masters of Chants where they have Gregorian monks singing mainstream music. They also do a really kick ass version of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica.
The Nevermore version is fun to play. Also a good mosh song
yes, nevermore actually got me listening to S&G in the first place because of the SoS version (of course, i had heard more, but it prompted me to take a closer listen). yes, indeed lyrical genius, along with a certain other band!
