nin cant suck cuz nine inch nails made the song first you should not be so hatsy to make stupid comments like that it makes u look like a faggot wannabe
There can really only be one. Cash made a good effort, and the song was given a very rough edge by his passing. But Trent's original is so much more vulnerable and honest. It is totally unbelievable still to this day. It was a good thing that Nine Inch Nails quit in time, but they will be sorely missed.
I first heard/saw that song/clip about 15 yrs ago on "rage" (great Aussie music program) and it has kinda haunted me ever since(in a good way). Great song and great visuals to support it.
Hello I am NIN please respect evah other. But I remember everything. Ding Dong Ding Dong. hum hum What have I become, my sweetest friend hum hum everyone i know goes away in the end, la la la la and you can have it all, my empire of dire, i will let you down, I will make you hurt (OUCH) ladedala, oooh yaay, ding I wear this crown of poop, upon my something chair full of broken something i am still dont knowthe words, beneat the ...the feelings disaper you are someone else, im ..lalalalalal
the singer guy didnt like it in the begining, said he felt like someone kissed his girl, but after he hear cashs version and video, he liked it, and likes it still
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
screw cash! he totally butchered the song, the country bumpkin hack! lets see him attempt something I can never have. enen though he died lol. he wouldn't be able to at all cuz he's got no range. or any other NIN songs for that matter. cash turned this song into a monotone piece of crap
ya dude when he wrote it, it just amazes me that he had cash sing it, cash didnt ruin it he just give it another tone, and you cant say it sucks because 21 milion people have viewed it, nin performed it better but just seeing cash do that is amazing
McGritz.. Then you become a bigger legend than him if he is so terrible, make a better song, make a song that touches the very soul.. Other wise you are just saying a person is terrible while you are being even worse.
Trent is an amazing writer and did a great job you can tell the pain that he was feeling when he wrote it, you cant say cash destroyed it though. he mad it good in his own way. if you hear the cash version you know trent wrote it but you feel the pain in cash's voice. both are good songs and no one will ever be able to compare because they are very different songs.
that's false, johnny listened to it and cover it coz he liked it, in fact you don't even know his name(Trent Reznor), so don't write about things you don't even understand
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
haha not knowing his name has nothing to with anything it doesnt proove anething apart from the fact that i dont listen to it and its true he was asked to cover it by this trent guy. i do understand dude
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why the fuck did Nin have to go and ruin an Awesome Cash song. Trent Reznor is actually a cunthead for doing that, Johnny would be turning in his grave seeing this shit.
I'll ignore the gay bitch comment below because I don't know if it was directed at me.
And, no I don't. I think Trent is a musical genius. No one else can produce a sound like his. (At least with his older stuff). Can he be an Asshoole? Yes he can. And from what I hear he is good at it. But, is it really that big of a surprise that someone who has sold as much as he has, won as many awards, and go all that recigniton as he has, be an a bit of dick? No, it's not.
Wow can we say Johnny Cash bandwagon!? Holy hell. I mean, his version isn't bad or anything but this is Trent's song and it will never have the same meaning in any other versio than Trent's. End of story
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Man this song is totally crap. I've heard a lot of good about it, but there is basically nothing to it. I don't need a song to describe what pain feels like. Only idiots need that.
God damn, I really wish Cash never covered this. His version is *okay*. I'm tired of people saying, "Cash's version is just as good, because he put his own meaning to it..." That's just ridiculous. He *covered* the song. Anyone who has experienced pain in their life can put their own meaning to it. The NIN version was the final song on The Downward Spiral, a compositional *masterpiece*. This is Trent's song, and Cash's version is, quite simply, a little boring.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dude this guy is so shitty it is unbelievable... cash is way better... guess what... a good song with a shitty artist is a shitty song... cash saved this song if anything!
Where did all these Johnny Cash fans come from, anyways? Bandwagon hoppers. 7 years ago (something like that), Johnny Cash was an obscure country artist. Suddenly he became trendy when he covered modern songs by various artists, which was a brilliant move on his part. If you want a really good Cash cover, check out his cover of Soundgarden's Rusty Cage. He puts his own spin on it. As for Hurt, he took a song with feeling and made it incredibly boring.
i am just going by what i have heard but I believe that Renzor actually wrote the song for Cash. I remember hearing that when the song first came out a while ago. Correct me if I am wrong. And I completely agree with your statement lucianito
I dont think Trent minded Cash covering this song because (1) he had respect for Cash and (2) he knew that Cash truely understood the song, he knew how it was to actually feel the emotions expressed in it (having struggled with drug addiciton)
I think if anyone else had covered it it wouldn't have been as good because it would have felt as genuine.
Just incase you're wondering I love both versions.
theres no point in gettin mad over who wrote this. with a very little research you can find out for yourself johnny cash covered this song. both are good as fuck. if you dont like one.. well... beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I retract my previous comment. You're right, Johnny did cover it, my mistake. I guess it's just because johnny is so old you would think it would be the other way around.
i first heard this by johnny cash years ago and loved it. didnt know it was a cover. hearing this one doesnt shake my love for Cash's rendition, but I must say i LOVE that piano part during the chorus. ha i jus like the chorus in general

HERES THE BOTTOM LINE, Trent Reznor wrote and performed this song first and although johnny cash is cool and all his version is nowhere near as awesome as this one and just because you only ever heard johnny cashs version DOESNT MAKE YOU RIGHT WHEN U SAY HE WROTE IT
hahaha ur fuckin dumb. you go to rehab if you get caught with a gram of weed. standard procedure. you dont HAVE to be addicted to shit. im not sayin trent wasnt addicted. i dont know about that
i kinda prefer the original over cash's just because with nin u get that its about trent's heroin addiction, but with cash it sounds like insulin or high blood pressure... but cash it still awsome!
Piss off guys this is art , jackass that came here complainning on this song have fucking no life ! By the way NIN rocks as well as for Johnny Cash but respect Trent for putting his guts and his soul in that song ! How dare you to spit on that! What a shame!

Look, Nine Inch Nails and Johny Cash are both great artists who have made some genuinely soul stirring music in their own way. None is better than the other, thats a trivial argument. Cash obviously covered Hurt because it touched him in some way and he made it his own with that song. You have to respect both artists, stop arguing over trivial matters.
I love Cash's Version and this too. I can relate to this man better but I find Cash's version to be more musically intricate, these are just my preferences. And this is NIN-Hurt, Cash has 20 million views and plenty else, he doesnt need a page devoted to a debate he would never have wanted
TO EAGLESCOUT86, GET A LIFE!!!!! "Oh i cant respect this group blah blah blah" NIN did the song the way they wanted to do it plain and simple. Cash did it the way he wanted to do it and who ever else redid it. You say there a bunch of "talentless hacks" well all their songs are originals. So why dont you go back and listen to all those other groups that use somebody elses stuff cuz they cant come up with something by themselves and shut the fuck up!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can NOT respect or even care to listen to another 10 seconds of a band that put out a song that was covered by two others that totally did a WAY BETTER job then the band that WROTE THE SONG! NIN are a group of talentless hacks.
amazing song... it puts me in my own little world and is my number one fav song ever... and since i am one of those fuckin fans murraycountycentral is talking about... i would like to say one thing to that little fuckin prick... fuck you get off the god damn site put a 12 guage in your mouth and pull the damn trigger... honestly if you dont like the shit... CHANGE SONGS... its that easy... you dont have to sit on you computer listing to it while you complain about it.... you really piss me off..
If anything it epitomizes everything that centers around the self satisfactory behavior that causes strife and estrangement with those that are close to us.
Well, that's kind of obvious. He was addicted to heroin at the time of writing this. Sitting in a shitty hotel room, shooting up, nearly insane. His only connection to sanity being his music, knowing he's a failure and a weakling for succumbing to the drug, knowing its his own fault for driving everyone away, and that he'd give up all of the nothing that he had just to have someone back, even though he knows hell end up hurting them again. Its the vocalization of failure and helplessness.
One thing is absolutely undeniable.. "murraycountycentral" is a complete fvcking moron. He is someone who does not deserve the gift of life, and his opinion is not valued by anyone other than himself.
Uh, Trent Reznor is a better vocalist than Johnny Cash...just saying for the person who begged to differ. That being said, Johnny Cash is awesome still. But let's keep it real.
jesus christ! wow, i decided to listen to NIN for the first time cuz some dumbasses were saying NIN is so much better than Hurt... and my god NIN fucking SUCK BALLS!!! jesus! i cant even explain how fuckin bad this faggot sounds... haha i laugh at you fuckin fans!! fuckin twats... by the way Johnny Cash sings this song soo much better it makes these losers sound even worse, cuz Cash was like fuckin practically dead when he sang the song. HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Cash version is so much better. Johnny was really hurting when he recorded the song and his recording reflects that pain. Trent was sitting in a hotel room whacking off and feeling emo and lonely when he wrote the lyrics. Even Johnny's slight alterations of the lyrics ("Crown of thorns" instead of "Crown of shit") made the song more poignant. Besides, are you really going to compare Reznor's voice to Johnny Cash? Are you really?
but you realize trent reznor was the original creator of this song, and if you look at his face while he sings the song, you can know he is singing about something painful to him.
so shut up and stop pretending you know everything.
Hey amateur musical historian, do you think only the original version of a song can be the definitive version? How many people have even heard "Big Mama" Thornton's version of "Hound Dog?" That's because Elvis' version blew it out of the water. Likewise, most people would agree, that the Beatles version of "Twist and Shout" is superior to the Isley Brothers original. I could give more examples but I'll just quote Franklin: It is better to appear a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt
He is crying while performing the song, you douche. How much more emotional do you want him to get? Yeah, someone who uses someone else's words felt more "real" emotions.
fuck you. as far as im concerned, this is Johnny cash's song. if you dont think that Johnny cash didnt feel real emotion with this song, then you are THE stupidist person i have ever seen comment on youtube.
my boss and i were having a conversation about bob dylan and he mentioned bob dylan has some great songs, at least the ones he didnt sing. i disagree with this; if my opinion is as valid as any of yours, i think the original captures the message that the artist intended more so than any remake. when i heard cash's version i thought it was innapropriate and boring. very powerful song!
idk.. everyones got an opinion but it just seems indulgent to me. cash's is very raw.. doesnt need the glam to make it powerful. i gues i just dont get it. whatever.. guy still wrote a great song.
no i haven't. but thanks a lot for the tip. I'm actually listening to Johnny Cash's version right now (I listen to it a lot). lol. I will definitely look them up. thanks again! :D
no i haven't. but thanks a lot for the tip. I'm actually listening to Johnny Cash's version right now (I listen to it a lot). lol. I will definitely look them up. thanks again! :D

NIN version is so good. I love johnny cash and think he did an amazing job, even trent reznor said he loved it in an interview. But this version is still so kick ass.
this song is great! i all so love the Cash version but tbh a song this well written is hard not to make it sound like a masterpiece

TO ALL SEEKING HELP WITH ADDICTION: You need to look into treatment with a drug called Ibogaine. Ibogaine is an addiction interruptor, not a maintenance drug like methadone or suboxone. Ibogaine will stop your withdrawal,elevate your mood, and stop cravings. I have Ibogaine videos faved on my chanel. It is not legal in the U.S., but there are clinics in Mexico. Two I know of are 1. Dream House 2. Villa Serena. Good luck to all!!

HERES THE BOTTOM LINE, Trent Reznor wrote and performed this song first and although johnny cash is cool and all his version is nowhere near as awesome as this one and just because you only ever heard johnny cashs version DOESNT MAKE YOU RIGHT WHEN U SAY HE WROTE IT

Look, Nine Inch Nails and Johny Cash are both great artists who have made some genuinely soul stirring music in their own way. None is better than the other, thats a trivial argument. Cash obviously covered Hurt because it touched him in some way and he made it his own with that song. You have to respect both artists, stop arguing over trivial matters.

I love Cash's Version and this too. I can relate to this man better but I find Cash's version to be more musically intricate, these are just my preferences. And this is NIN-Hurt, Cash has 20 million views and plenty else, he doesnt need a page devoted to a debate he would never have wanted

TO EAGLESCOUT86, GET A LIFE!!!!! "Oh i cant respect this group blah blah blah" NIN did the song the way they wanted to do it plain and simple. Cash did it the way he wanted to do it and who ever else redid it. You say there a bunch of "talentless hacks" well all their songs are originals. So why dont you go back and listen to all those other groups that use somebody elses stuff cuz they cant come up with something by themselves and shut the fuck up!

Well, that's kind of obvious. He was addicted to heroin at the time of writing this. Sitting in a shitty hotel room, shooting up, nearly insane. His only connection to sanity being his music, knowing he's a failure and a weakling for succumbing to the drug, knowing its his own fault for driving everyone away, and that he'd give up all of the nothing that he had just to have someone back, even though he knows hell end up hurting them again. Its the vocalization of failure and helplessness.

Cash's version is better, but the nin version is the original. Reznor's girlfriend had just died, I believe, so both were very, very emotional.

Cash version is so much better. Johnny was really hurting when he recorded the song and his recording reflects that pain. Trent was sitting in a hotel room whacking off and feeling emo and lonely when he wrote the lyrics. Even Johnny's slight alterations of the lyrics ("Crown of thorns" instead of "Crown of shit") made the song more poignant. Besides, are you really going to compare Reznor's voice to Johnny Cash? Are you really?
bigpoopie69 2 years ago
but you realize trent reznor was the original creator of this song, and if you look at his face while he sings the song, you can know he is singing about something painful to him.
so shut up and stop pretending you know everything.

Hey amateur musical historian, do you think only the original version of a song can be the definitive version? How many people have even heard "Big Mama" Thornton's version of "Hound Dog?" That's because Elvis' version blew it out of the water. Likewise, most people would agree, that the Beatles version of "Twist and Shout" is superior to the Isley Brothers original. I could give more examples but I'll just quote Franklin: It is better to appear a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt
bigpoopie69 2 years ago
And can we count the number of times covers of songs have been rubbish? Far more times, than successful covers.
The point is Trent Reznor *wrote* this song. Without Trent, there would be no song for Cash to cover. So give credit where credit is due
