One time some guy tried to tell me it was Johnny Cash who wrote this song and not Trent Reznor, which is ppular opinion. And I said that was bullocks. Bullshit. NIN wrote Hurt plain and simple. But then I did some research and turns out that crazy guy was right about it the whole time. I posted all the evidence up on my channel so you guys can learn the truth too. Turns out Johnny Cash really did write the song, and a lot of people collaborated to and make it seem otherwise.
Dude shut up u sound so dumb DeliveryManBoy every one knows Johnny Cash covered this song. I personally like Trents version better but that's cause I'm a NIN fan. Don't get me wrong Cash's version is good too.
@Rw7451 I can not believe that people actually think that Nine Inch Nails wrote this song. This is not at all the type of song a man like Trent Resnor would right. Trent Resnor never wen't through pain like this. Only a man like Johnny Cash could have written a masterpiece such as this. Go ahead and argue with me. I have proof that I am right on my channel. You will admit I'm right after you have watched the videos on my channel that proove that Johnny Cash wrote the song Hurt.
Nine inch nails did not write this song. johnny Cash did! Now I know what your going to say. Your going to say that cash covered the song almost 10 years after it was written and that Trent wrote it, and your gonna be all like... Trent even said Cash did it better. Copy and paste the wiki. Read me the album credits. It's all one big corporate lie perpetrated by Trent Reznor's vampire lawyers. If you don't believe me, I've made a plenty compelling case with plenty of proof on my channel.
Do not get me started on that disgraceful cover that Nine Inch Nails did of this song. I don't want to argue about it on my channel. Flame me if you like It doesn't bother me. I know that all of the proof on my page vindicates the name of johnny Cash, and prooves beyond a shadow of a doubt who actually wrote this song. It surely wasn't Trent Reznor. He's a devil worshiper.
he said the selling the equiptment thing was for a new beginning, it was mostly old shit anyway, like guitars fromt the fragile era and stuff. i think hell be back one day. he does these kinds of things
wow you suck bbrallbarn and youve made my day... you'll never hear the end of your comment. you'll get replys to it for years to come. thats because its wrong and dumb and you sound like the biggest loser faggot no it all but knw nothing retard. i hate you for it.
see thats the ticket. and your 100% right, i was just being a smart ass, and it was three months ago, and i know, agian, im writing on a blog or whatever. im actually amazed you both responded in less that 24hours. my opinion... you should have been a bigger dick to me. it would have been funnier. although i did laugh at the "sad basterd" part. that was good touch. and the other guy called me a tit, thats a first for me.
I remember seeing this on TV at the time, and its what led me to buy all his albums one after the other. I still listen to them regularly, and they're like best friends. I flippin' love NIN, even Ghosts. I am so damn glad I caught this on TV that day.
Personally, for me anyways, if you turn Hurt around you get Numb. And once you become so numb lacking love the most essential thing we need, the only thing we can feel is pain thus we are Hurt. We become numb trying to block the depression that surrounds us that makes us who we are but sadly the pain always finds it's way in.
"I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone" Trent Reznor.
Now, feel free to point out where the hell it says anything about his dad in that sentence.
Chill the fuck out man, just because someone got his fact wrong doesn't mean you have the right to slam them down and show how 'intelligent' you are. Get fucked you little cyber turd. Great Song - no matter what it's about
Reading back on my previous comment, I will admit that what I said does sound pretty harsh. Being 'intelligent' has nothing to do with this, it just annoys me when people say things like that without doing research first. And secondly, slamming me makes you the 'cyber turd' - so i'm not going to justify that part of your comment with any further response, good day.
Everyone here - take notice....have your research ready to comment on youtube videos... No Me slamming you makes me the person whos telling the asshole to shut up. That doesnt automatically make me anything...other than someone telling the smartass to shutup. Good day ;)
Well me setting someone straight in an admittedly harsh manner doesn't make me anything either. Were you so bored that you just simply had to respond to a comment made a month ago? Have you really nothing better to do with your spare time?
my favorite part was when the two guys argued via youtube about a song they apparantly like. then the argument turns into something that has nothing to do with the song. i realize i am lowering myself to your standards here, and that is the point. but people who get into arguments on this thing make my day. especially the ones that pick out speling and grammor to make fun of said person!!
so losers, now that i am ashamed of myself for comenting on your coments, argue away!!
my favourite part was when the sad bastard robertsow got involved with an incident that happened 3 MONTHS ago just so he could try to be a wiseass and stick his ore in.
Both versions of hurt are amazingly beautiful. I don't care if Reznor's version was a suicide letter, it has to be one the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
More like red apples and green apples, people forget that you CAN compare the songs, because they are the same goddamn song, only sang by a different person, so if a song is same but tastes different, it would make them both apples only of different kinds. Damn you kids and your incapability to understand the concepts of comparing.
I think, the difference between them is, that Trent Reznor LIVES (for) his music and you can feel that in every song! Especially in hurt; primarily if you know, why - or for whom - he wrote it.
Johnny Cash only sings it because of the money and the glory.
I think, he doesn't have any feelings to this song and so it sounds dead and absolutely false.
It is not, that I don't like Cash, but this song doesn't belong to him!
And I think what you said is completely backwards. If anything, then Trent has been lately doing things for money and glory, while Johnny Cash...Let's face it, he was an icon for his whole life. He never cared really about money, he was a convict after all. All he really cared about is what he represents and his image. And I also think that he puts as much, if not more, emotion into what he did than Trent does. Johnny was a real musician, one of few this century.
@cannabisabuser Trent does things for money and glory? Yeah right, I guess that explanis why The Slip was FREE and ghosts i-iv and everything he's done since then has been licensed under CC. moron. Full respect to johnny, I admire him as well, but you have no idea what you're talking about.
@Trixilver Yea, I admit I overlooked the fact that Trent is trying to do things in music his own way, especially distributing it, in rather creative ways. Disregard what I said I must've been on something...Both versions deliver feelings in a different way. No, really, when I look back at my comment, it does seem pretty stupid...
@cannabisabuser Trent composed all of his music which has an original flavour, as well as music for others, saying he is not a real musician is insane.
at first i didnt have that reaction. but once i learned about the story writing this song, and reznor's status at the time, i have that same reaction from time to time
Man, I think this is one of the most powerful performances NIN did for Hurt.
