  Cover Songs 23 April 2010: Thank you to Tim who emailed me this very interesting information: Just wanted to let you know that there are two different versions of "I Don't Care" by Finnish cello-metal band Apocalyptica featuring Adam Gontier: the original album version and a radio edit version.

The radio edit version is available only on the single and the US and Canadian edition of the album. The re-recorded version was produced by Howard Benson. Benson is a two time Grammy nominated music producer and aerospace engineer. He has worked with such artists as Hoobastank, Saosin, P.O.D., My Chemical Romance, The All-American Rejects, Papa Roach, The Used, Santana, Sepultura, Motorhead and many more. www.myspace.com/howardbenson

Eicca Toppinen from Apocalyptica explained in an interview with the Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles magazine (February 2008) why there are two versions of the song:

"Actually we’ve reworked the song. Adam [Gontier] originally recorded his vocals in the spring (of 2007) with our producer (Jacob Hellner), but Adam wasn’t entirely happy with the result. So a couple of weeks ago, Adam went to the studio with (3DG producer) Howard Benson to record a new version of the song. It’s really great. It will actually be on the US/Canadian edition."

Eicca Toppinen told about the song in an interview with Jaco Dekker, ZwareMetalen.com (22 September 2007): “I wrote some of the lyrics to “I Don’t Care.” Max Martin wrote most of the lyrics, though. The song is about fantasy and not about anyone particularly, but I think everyone can find a sense of truth in the lyrics.”

The song reached #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for one week in 2008 and #2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart where it spent a year in the top 20.

The song made it to #96 on the Billboard Hot 100 Rock Songs of the Decade chart. (Billboard.com December 31, 2009).
