Jeff Martin - Hurt - live

Jeff Martin "Hurt" Live at the W2 12. April 2007 jeff-martin.net

[@OntarioAtOrion]

I met you behind Centennial Hall in London Ontario back in the mid 90's. Me and my 2 friends climbed a pole and tried to see into the upstairs window. You came and waved at us through the glass and later on came out by the bus and signed our smoke packs! You had written 777 on only my autograph and I never knew what it meant! We saw you 5 more times, and you came over to say Hi after the show in Grand Bend Motorplex. You are the best to fans. Thank you for the best memories I have made so far :)

[@xaniaris]

I love this song. It has so much raw emotion... He played it wonderfully at the concert he performed at in Melbourne. I love his ability to be able to release himself on stage; he is one of a kind :)

[@Gwneff]

Jeff Martin sings Hurt with no compare to any one's performing it. He is our voice live.

[@Tammy-ow5db]

A true artist he puts his whole heart and soul in his music, sucks you in. My daughter and her friend opened for him at a private concert last summer. He was so kind and invited them to the tea party concert to watch side stage. Such a kind man, down to earth. An experience my daughter and I will forever cherish. 😎

[@Jizyon]

all right!yes 100% with you!im profoundly toutching by all the tea party song...and jeff of course!

[@PriestessVinile]

Finally a man who can actually bring LIFE and such brilliance to music!!!

[@jonproctor8368]

Jeff Martin did a really good job. Johnny Cash would be so proud of him.

[@nomoretelekom]

its actually not by Cash but by Nine Inch Nails

[@AnnaLVajda]

@@nomoretelekom yeah I don't know how Trent feels about it when Johnny covered it he compared it to having your girlfriend taken by a good friend it was upsetting but he held no grudge because Johnny was worthy of it.

[@mannix33]

Jeff Martin is the most underated, greatest singer/musician in music today. Simply brilliant!!!!!!

[@vegansrule6555]

Sheesh, he's such a blend of musicians, a bit of Jim Morrison, a bit of Elvis, a tiny bit of Nirvana. So much depth! Chills. So beautiful

[@misfit2785]

It's just himself, an amazing spirit.

[@AnnaLVajda]

Yes I don't like to compare him too much to anyone else though I know he gets the Morrison references all the time and maybe the resemblance helped his popularity and maybe he was influenced by other artists but he's undeniably talented in his own right. He does things lots of the others don't too he writes songs Elvis didn't he plays a variety of instruments Morrison didn't he didn't overdose at 27 either. He's a producer too not sure how many other musicians do that.

[@nategwinn]

In my mind....THE BEST MODERN ARTIST!!! Although Jeff and the Tea Party never really broke into the U.S...(other than Western N.Y) that Australia really embraced him and my home Canada still loves him dearly. Thanks for the glorious display of talent Jeff!!! *S*

[@terajjin]

Amazing. Simply amazing.

[@bachmorris]

Holy Shit! Jeff! way to go keep rocking, glad to know you're still workin!

[@cassidymav]

Jeff Martin and Trent Reznor probably have two of the most gorgeous voices this world has ever seen! And with a song as powerfull as this! Gosh! You become the song, swirl into it gently... such a beautiful version!

[@bluesublime]

Jeff Martin is truly one of canada's hidden jems!

[@nategwinn]

I have no problems when artists re-do songs, aslong as they do a good job at making the song 'their own' and give the song some justice.....Why does Jeff always make songs sound so cool??? *LOL* It's incredible listening to his strong voice....(and he's an incredible...AND underrated guitarist). I recently converted my wife's 60 yr old uncle over to listening to the Tea Party and Jeff Martin....and he is absolutely hooked!!! Thanks for posting this!

[@shellypete1]

I saw Jeff at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday night, singing Beatles Hits along side of Doug Parkinson, Glenn Shorrock and the amazing Jack Jones...I had not heard him before and his voice just blew me away...I guess I fell in love...(hes so god damned sexy)...I will be listening to a lot more of his music in the future...his voice is sensational...

[@lllllginalllll]

Really? You didnt like the beginning? Wow.I,from the first pluck of the guitar and the tone(and ofcourse it being Jeff Martin)I knew I was going to love it..and I DID!! amazingly soothing..loved it -every bit of it He is amazing..been a fan of The Tea Party for years..and Jeff Martin since about 2001! Yes,I agree about his voice,I love it too :D

[@alusru40]

I was there.... The concert was great. As great as all the concerts from the tea party were.

[@xLocox]

Thankyou Jeff :)

[@Phantomsbreath]

Holy hells. He's amazing.

[@Germs19]

Barely started listening to Jeff and the Tea Party a couple of months ago, fantastic band, I love his voice, it's a shame they're no longer together.

[@yingyang09876]

i really enjoy the way he blended both cashes and trents versions to make this kickass cover!

[@loosha84]

i cant wait to see jeff do an acoustic session next month....what an amazing voice.......sends chills down my spine

[@geinplayer]

nice track! r.i.p johnny

[@CigarettesNsongs]

GOD I love this guy his voice is amazing. Want to go see him baaaad.

[@LedZepUltimateFanPage]

Happy 50th Birthday Jeff!!

[@GoldSharkBoi21]

Oh my god i love this song and that cover whas amazing i think johnny cash would be so proud what s great man

[@darwinmedinamusic]

What a great voice. These discoveries make life a bit better, right? : )

[@ladyrazor]

*gasp* LOVE!

[@drakan80]

such powerful vocals, awesome.

[@Jizyon]

I am a big fan of Johnny Cash !!! I love this men !!!! But i yes this remake is perfect !!Jeff is perfect ! :)

[@DarkerSideX14X]

15 years..

[@digitalbladeca]

The voice of the 21st century

[@missparshin]

A musical God

[@SpinDoctor91]

wow that voice...so powerful.

[@RealPortgasDAce]

3 august Jeff Martin live at Het Front in Vroomshoop, The Netherlands

[@loosha84]

i'm a youngin, but i totally agree.....even to look at, there's a resemblance.

[@sylviegiroux4194]

He owns every single cover he makes!

[@bucketbot]

actually the Tea Party was doing this song way back on the Transmission tour. I remember them going a shortened version of it back at a live show i saw during that tour...so i am not at all surprise that Mr. Martin is doing the full song at solo shows

[@swingersfan]

A great Canadian artist.

[@broussey]

L O V E ~ I T ! ! !

[@soulsong4ever]

LOVE> madly.

[@nelson581]

yeah i'm from WNY and have seen this dude and the band. I think that splender solis was just too far ahead of its time to be popular. I'm 29 and loved tea party in high school and still put them on my mp3 player to take me back to then!

[@berna6900]

Very good performance

[@jrohit1110]

Too Good....!!!

[@rkmcdowell]

@rickygnr - Johnny Cash covered it. Trent Reznor wrote it. It's on Downward Spiral.

[@QuantumHeap]

@Pannadingoe if you haven't found it yet, there's a decent chance it's Santana's cover with Rob Thomas on vocals, his delivery does sound a bit like Jeff Martin at times on it

[@slimysteve12]

nobody will ever be able to play this song. It shouldnt even be attempted. They dont no how he felt and cant put that emotion into it. when johnny siings it he pours his heart into it and thats what makes the hair stand up

[@Rockrules4ever1]

fucking awesome...

[@CatDieselPwr]

very cool

[@JohnnyToothless]

A touching NIN track that is still covered today - the Sevendust version ain't so bad either......

[@digitalbladeca]

I totally agree. I think he's the best vocalist in the world (well, Bruce Dickinson is also amazing, I can't really decide). I liked the Tea Party years better, though :( I am so sad it didn't work out with them.

[@diangesh]

Hi I'm back!! I still love your music terrific !!

[@chadlabelle1181]

Fick you johnny cash made this song.trent would say the same

[@ozgisch]

I agree, when I first heard their first album,I thought right away he sounds a lot like Jim Morrison.

[@Burkie782]

I love Jeff's take on this song, and I am a way bigger NIN fans than a johnny cash one. I've been trying to record a version of this myself, just for fun, but can't get the depth or drive to make it seem worth while.

[@pierre516684]

Just FYI this is a nine inch nails song...Mr Cash only did a cover.

[@nukchuu1]

yeah but even Trent said it was JCs song now lol

[@jmarti64]

lol i found him because we have the same name. i searched my name and he popped up.

[@GayForJohnnyDepp93]

@aricomagik1 It's still a cover, since Trent of NIN wrote it.

[@the_black_arts]

I miss when The Tea Party did Hurt... Jeff really belted it out... AND YOU COULD HAVE IT ALL>>> MY EMPIRE OF DIRT>>> This is good, but TTP did a much more heartwrenching version(or should I say snippet - I don't remember them ever doing the whole song...just a bit in the middle of Save Me.

[@MasterGodfather97]

Right take note: this is a cover of Johnny Cash's version, as he sings "crown of thorns", as opposed to "crown of shit". He uses the changed lyrics that Cash implemented.

[@weever5000]

where can i here tea partys version veedub87

[@hardcorejoe1991]

well good mate (Y)

[@KingUponMain]

NIN made the classic. johnny cash did a pretty awesome cover and Jeff does it even better, the vocals are great, the melody, the instruments, rock on Jeff, just please make another album!

[@deadpool4dawin]

fuck yes he's playing in trasmania soon

[@drakan80]

he means the order. Trent Reznor's (i.e. NIN) the original writer

[@the_black_arts]

Garth Brooks signature series? I haven't followed Jeff that much since The Tea Party ceased to exist, but I find it EXTREMELY odd he'd be playing a Garth Brooks Takamine. Is Garth Brooks playing a 1916 Gibson Harp Guitar now too? Odd.

[@Cxaxakluth]

@Dj44marihuana Great... That comment looks it should go on Johnny Cash video. -.-

[@KingUponMain]

anyone know when jeff's new album is coming out?

[@relearn]

@Misrabelle definately Reznor... love the NiN original, assuming cash got permission to change the words, but am gessing Trent wouldn't have minded too much. a great song that sounds good no matter who sings it :D (so far, pls don't let the idols cover it)

[@Misrabelle]

@slimysteve12 Except that it's actually a Nine Inch Nails song? Trent Reznor wrote it.

[@rkmcdowell]

@slimysteve12 - Trent Reznor wrote this song, not Johnny Cash.

[@SkynetVita]

lol, thats cool

[@Nio-Velvet]

its soo an awesome cover ! does someone know the tuning and the tabs ?

[@AkiraFudou]

They might've said that for the 'crown of thorns' line as opposed to the original NIN lyric. Johnny Cash replaced it in his cover.

[@gigadongle]

Jeff loves Trent

[@intothevoid42]

I hope you're saying, RIP - Johnny, because this sounds more like Cash's cover and not because you think it's his song. This is a Nine Inch Nails song. Although, much respect to Mr.Cash and his version, as well.

[@originalcynn]

@cassidymav wait until you hear Shepherd

[@uppastbedtime]

But listen to it by the original dying lion, Johnny Cash. That is authentic hurt.

[@bapsp]

NIN

[@bop665]

the original lion is trent reznor.nine inch nails

[@GayForJohnnyDepp93]

@aricomagik1 well...that's still a cover.

[@TheRealSonicYouth]

No. He covered this years before cash did.

[@Misrabelle]

@rickygnr go look it up on wiki. Apology accepted.

[@HamSTAR1986]

its a good song people shut up I if its a good vocalist its a good verson.

[@doctorvox1]

hey brother real good version of hurt . and al that fucking guys they have no voice to sing that song they are only ride bullshit comends here they are nothig Brother keep on Rocking .

[@weever5000]

the only usefull canadian

[@deluxairhead]

Trent does it so well don't he !!!!!!!!

[@Wolfmoss1]

Not a bad cover. I wished he went up an octave and really screamed out the last part like Reznor does though. That would have made it perfect. No cover matches the sense of desperation and depravity conveyed in the vocals quite like Trent can.

[@AnnaLVajda]

Yeah well with Cash he was old I think he recorded it a few months before he died and it has that whole lifetime behind it. Trents original version was like young angst hence still swearing he says sh*t instead of dirt for example. So I think the period of the persons life affects their interpretation too.

[@Wolfmoss1]

@@AnnaLVajda Hey there, I totally forgot I even made this comment 11 years ago! 😂 I agree with what you said. The time in an artists life totally influences the interpretation of their piece. Jeff had one of the best intense vocals when he was young so I just wish he brought them into this cover too. But I wish I had the energy I did 11 years ago too haha. 🙂

[@cashtwonine]

wow everyone is redoing nine inch nails music and espicially hurt

[@Blahzayify]

It's called CENSORSHIP!!!

[@juankevinable]

this is a cover of the cover ._.

[@pcassidy92]

its just like all along the watchtower is attributed to hendrix, cash just played it better (in my opinion)

[@weever5000]

hahano no was jk.

[@Wielaica]

Irritant op het laatste moment dat gefluit er tussen door.

[@dimemax]

It's Bob Dylan -_-

[@Aranman16]

Reznor's original song will always be best, Cash's was pathetic, and Martin's is pretty cool.

[@meir123]

wow, i kinda liked it, but it's not as good as the original

[@robmatlivingstone]

Some one should teach JM major chords. All negative, all a downer.

[@hdb22]

nope. cant say i like the cover. but linkin park rock the joint.

[@nwLohmann]

thats not nice. are the canadians so bad?
