You’re telling me for 3 years this has been on KZfaq and I just now get to see it? Ain’t no way

His grandkids gonna have to come to terms that this is no longer their grandpa this OUR grandpa

Got recommended this by the algorithm and clicked immediately. 100% worth it.

What the actual hell?! I JUST got this in my recommendations. I was not prepared for it... This song was played on my older brothers funeral after a long battle with MS, thank you for this rendition sir ❤️

Corey really needs to hear this, heart wrenching.

there are no dislikes, they are just likes from Australia

This feels like if johnny cash did a cover of this song, absolutely amazing.

The break in his voice at 2:55 says everything I need to know. This man has stared sadness in its face. I hope he finds peace.

This time the algorithm hit me in my soul

The "hurt effect" all over again, when an older artist takes a newer song and makes a beautiful heartbraking cover...

I know this is three years old, but this is my first time hearing this cover and it's beautiful. It really captures the emotions behind the lyrics.

This song was written from a very broken hearted perspective… but coming from this old man… makes it sound like the depths of hell can sing the sorrow…

Almost feels like when Johnny Cash covered “Hurt”

This song can't be stronger than when it's sung by someone who experienced a long life

I stopped playing guitar 7 years ago. Now i need restart after watch this video.

Coming from someone who is a HUGE Slipknot fan, you did this song so much Justice. This has to be the best rendition of the song I've ever heard. Absolutely amazing and so much feeling in it. Thank you for this.

We need Corey reacting to this

Dudes playing is smoothe. I bet when asked if he plays guitar, he responds “I dabble”

I myself am a musician but I can't even begin to express how grateful I am to see you play. A true musician. Feeling the music, embodying it, and displaying it to the world. Thank you 100x for sharing this talent with the world. Please continue what you're doing. much love, you made me cry tears I didn't know I had.

I'm 3 years late, but luckily this cover is eternal 🔥🔥🔥🥰

Has Corey Taylor seen this cover? He would really like it 😊 Mr. Watkinson this was a super cover!

Seems like everyone got recommended this at the same time

Frank is a perfect example that just because you are getting older doesn't mean you have to stop in time and only look back and never ahead. My age doesn't decide what I like our what I want to do. It's my will to live and feel thar shows me the way. Frank is not alone in that way.

This song has ALWAYS made me cry .. He adds a Johnny Cash twang to it.. Absolutely LOVE it.... ❤❤❤❤❤

This is why internet is the invention of the future. An old man with an amazing skill can show of, for the people to appreciate him. Well done sir.

I feel like Corey's version is what you feel when all the wounds are still fresh. You're hurt but more than that you are mad about it. This version is what happens over time, it heals, the hate eventually stops but there will always be some pain. Beautifully played, made me cry.

This song was played at my wedding and this version will be at the silver wedding

This is incredible. The guitar. Dog toys in the background. Not a thought in the world but his Voice. This is truly something else. 💗

Slipknot: *Makes a song about heartbreak* This old man: Hold my scotch, whippersnappers

Somehow, the way he sings this makes it wayyyyy more sad than it already is

The dog jumping up and chilling on the couch to relax to dad singing❤😢 beautiful cover

How am I just now finding this? And how does this not have a million likes? Thank you sir for taking the time to give us ur version..God bless you and ur family

This is depressingly awsome

Incredibly simple and powerful cover. VERY Johnny Cash “Hurt” feeling.

This song perfectly describes the aftermath of loving someone who abuses you. Thank you for the cover. I love it. I needed a good cry lol.

Having lost my step dad and my papaw 2 months apart at the end of 2023 this definitely pulled my heartstrings. It was beautiful!! You did absolutely wonderful Frank!

It feels like a Johnny Cash cover of snuff. Amazingly voiced and has all the feeling of the original

I find it so precious how still 3 months on he's liking every comment meaning he's reading every comment.. Generally brings a tear to my eye how humble this man is.. Don't stop what you are doing man it's amazing

Unreal that this just came up for me, hard to believe it’s been on here for 3 years. Love this version man!!!

I still listen to this, regularly. Still cry, regularly.

My biggest hope is that Corey Taylor gets to see this video. I think he would be proud of your rendition Frank.

Frank, I didn't think I'd tear up from hearing this song again, your rendition proved me wrong and I thank you for that, much love from Alaska and please, keep on keeping on. Your covers are absolutely what I need to hear in these trying times,and again, thank you sir.

Juat found this. Its beautiful Frank. I do believe Corey would proud to hear this rendition.

When I skip studying, videos like these that appear on my home page make my day better and calm me down.

This man needs to be protected at all costs.

a song that my passed father loved…a song that reminds me of better times…still hits hard whenever i hear someone sing it…i never knew i needed this, all i gotta say is…thank you ❤

So awesome! His style reminds me a little of Johnny Cash singing Hurt. It’s full of emotion. Good job sir!!!!

As a 53 yo man who was introduced to Slipknot by hearing a gf's teen son playing their music almost 10 years ago, this is incredible that a man of your age also knows a great song when they hear it.

The dog in the background is just like "it's melancholy nap time."

This has made my day! My grandpa passed away 7 years ago and I lost my grandma last year on chrsitmas eve. He was one of the best guitarists I’ve ever heard, he just had a way of drawing you in. It’s just so beautiful to see you play.

Disculpa que no te escriba en inglés, soy española y me cuesta encontrar las palabras. Me das ternura al verte, he escuchado varios de tus cover y me relaja mucho oir tu voz. Tengo 32 años y también canto desde que era una niña. Siento una bonita admiracion por lo que haces

This version could fit in a western movie or serie.

Pure, raw, pain in this one. Geez. I felt that all the way down.

Today I am in a rough place emotionally and mentally. The algorithm blessed me with this video and it's healed a piece of me I forgot existed. This is beautiful, thank you.

Mr. Frank T. Watkinson, I listen to your covers every single night to help me relax and fall asleep. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all. I would love to have someone interview you so we could hear stories and life lessons.

if corey taylor heard this i think he would find it amazing

There's a strange melancholic quality to the way you've done this. Less anger, and so much more sadness. I've heard this song a hundred times, but I've only ever teared up twice - once when I heard the original live, and today when I heard your version. Thank you. For bringing this to all of us.

I still come back to listen to this once in awhile. It's a great cover.

Frank this is my favorite song I wish I could play like you please never stop you made the older guy cry

Holy crap, my KZfaq algorithm finally got it right with this one! 😱

I keep coming back to this cover, its so great. Thank you Frank ❤

Thank you for sharing this. Probably one of the best covers I have heard yet.

This is honestly one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen.

"If you still care dont ever let me know" is such a heart wrenching line no matter if its the first of 100th time you hear it🥺

This is powerful and moving...you can tell during parts of his vocals that the words have more meaning to him than we will ever know..music is power..and you my friend are a titan..

This is an absolutely beautiful cover of a beautiful song.... Thank you so much ❤

see, this is what great heavy metal is about: real deal truth.

When I listen to this I’m not 16 anymore I’m now 80 years old and wondering where all the years have gone

this man found the truth in Corey’s music weather you like Slipknot or don’t this is why musicians write music so that no matter what kind of music you create someone is listening

Frank Watkinson, you know that you will now live forever. That forever time means this cover will be heard by 100's of millions, maybe even billions.

Plot twist corey taylor in his latest mask......

Sometimes you want music to make you FEEL something. Anything. And I keep coming back here when I need that. Thank you again for this cover.

Dear Frank, I still keep coming back to your interpretation, it grips the heart so much! Thank you for doing this!

Everyone's gangster until grandpa starts death screaming.

Corey taylor's one is when the wound is still fresh. This one is when the hurt has healed but when you contemplate the scars...the feeling of nostalgia comes..

You totally rocked this one Frank! 🤘 The emotion you bring to these covers pulls my heartstrings right out! ❤

Absolutely incredible sound. This is excellent. 🕊️My new favorite song🕊️

He embodies the energy of Johnny Cash. Why is this man not famous? I love this so much.

Can we get Corey Taylor to take notice of this... because holy fuck... its beautiful

Absolutely amazing cant beleive im just hearing this, great cover i love these different takes on covers

Absolutely amazing. You convey emotion so well. Thank you.

This definitely has Johnny Cash "Hurt" vibes. So haunting from the first word and it resonates with you throughout. You can feel the preservation of youth in his words and it also feels like a rebellion to the law that states we will all grow up one day. Stay forever young my friend because I understand your struggle and you definitely put your own stamp on such a dark Slipknot song and you gave it new life. Thank you.

Never thought I’d see a guy who looks like my grandpa covering a slipknot song so beautifully. Subscribed

I love this so much. It calms my hurting soul..

Thank you Frank, this was exactly what I needed to hear today.

This is Simon and Garfunkel "Sounds of Silence" meets Sipknot...

I feel like every time he closed his eyes while singing he saw reflections of his life with happy memories and sad ones too

Simply amazing. I could feel the emotion 🖤

I love this man so much. Your voice is so soothing

In some way, the softer instrumental/vocals actually makes the song much more cruel and harsh.

Never would've thought someone could take a Slipknot song and turn it into a Johnny Cash style cover. Cool stuff

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with the world

You sir have did this song some amazing justice so much emotion you put into this ....thank you

The algorithm sent me a gift. Thank you sir.

The dog is like "uh oh, daddy's playing "Snuff" again. He sounds sad, I better go in there & make sure he's o.k." Dogs rule!!

Just stunning ...so much feeling. 💜

Absolutely amazing Frank. Thank you for this

So reminiscent of Cash's version of Hurt. Such a beautiful cover.

His grandkids are going to be pissed when they find out grandpa has more views on this than all of their Minecraft videos combined...

One of the best covers I’ve ever seen in my life. Great job.
