Maybe ppl cover songs because it speaks what they want to write. Maybe they admire the band, or maybe it was a bet. Who really cares! It's an awesome cover, probably the best cover i've ever heard.
What i will say about the meaning is something i stand firmly on! Skynyrd had a meaning to this song in which only they will understand, and chino will have a meaning to this song in which the deftones will only understand. Musical lyrics aren't always meant for the listener to understand, lets be courteous to both versions and allow both bands to have their own meanings. It's one thing to write a song, it's another to sing it! No one will ever say that J-Cash did a better version of "Hurt" than NIN, only because Trent had a different meaning than J-Cash did. Trent was meant to write it as J-Cash was meant to sing it. Two totally different eras.
