The word legend is used way too loosely these days but Johnny Cash is fully deserving of that title.

[@kristaspecht]

@@metalguru85 totally agree

Absolutely

This song always gets me whenever I listen to it. Thanks

Johnny Cash WAS a gangster. He spent time in jail. He said that he wore black to honor those who could no longer speak. He did all sorts of music, country, gospel, R&B and more and won top awards in every genre. If he were young today he might well be a rapper. He won fame and fortune yet fought with drug and alcohol addictions. This song was his goodbye to all of us. As the young man said, his voice was fading. In his youth he had a resounding voice. His style was almost speaking rather than singing because he said, many years ago, that he did not think he could sing. I listened to him almost all of my life. I saw him in three concerts. I look forward to seeing him perform again in Heaven.

[@edwardpfingston876]

I love the way Johnny Cash played the acoustic guitar. His strumming hand would ride up on the neck when the tune got light and go heavy on the body when he had to bring it out. Ring of fire is a prime example of that talent

[@IvanDal92ry2]

i'm a big johnny cash fan . since 2005 when i saw the video ' i walk the line ' i'm only 30 years old ... i really love country music 🥰🤩

[@johncampbell756]

Back in the early 1990s when gangsta rap was getting blasted by the media and politicians, many of them would quite Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" from the 1950s. The lyrics, "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die." Trent cried watching this video. Johnny's wife died three months after this video and Johnny another 3 or 4 months later.

[@maribethspence9458]

Johnny Cash is in both the country and rock hall of fame so he was both. They filmed the video at his museum House of Cash (I think that was the name of it) that had been closed for years before and was in pretty bad shape for not having been taken care of for many years. They effect was Johnny sitting amongst his awards and things that at one time met so much to not just him but the world and here it all was much of it broken and falling apart. That white house the video shows him walking up to was his childhood home. It's where he lived when his brother Jack who was just a little older the JR (Johnny) was killed. His father blamed Johnny for Jacks death all of Johnny's life. Jack's death haunted JR his whole life. His father often would tell JR that the wrong son died that day. Johnny was a serious addict, while it wasn't usually needles he was more of a pill popper he never really overcame his addictions. Ring of Fire was actually written by June Carter Cash before they got married and while both were still actually married to other people suspected to actually be about how she felt about Johnny. Johnny was only 71 when he passed. He looked so old because of all the drugs he did especially during the peak of his career. His best version of Folsom Prison Blues was the one he did in a live performance at Folsom prison. The second one after the warden told him tone it down cause he was riling the inmates up. He didn't tone it down instead he did it more intense as a sort of up yours to the warden or maybe that was his San Quentin album. I used to have both in the extended version

[@ryancoke777]

I agree with Smokey in that both versions are really good in different ways. Johnny's cover of Rusty Cage on the same album is fire as well!

[@AK1776-]

He was 77 in that video and died 7 months after. He sang it shortly after his wife died….most believe he died of a broken heart.

[@sheataylor1510]

When he closed his piano, it was the last time he played. His wife died shortly after this video and Johnny passed away a few months later

He also covered a Marilyn Manson song Personal Jesus

I think Trents version is sadder as its about a young mans perspective of addiction.Jonny's version is amasing ,but a different perspective of life.

[@stephanieclark9849]

*After Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails heard Johnny Cash's version of his song, he simply said "This song isn't mine anymore". And he said that with all the respect and love in the world. That says it all...*

[@6Haunted-Days]

@@pdog547 don’t blame him. He’s said this is his most personal raw song he wrote and he didn’t even want to put it on the album.

[@Budini67]

This was Johnny's goodbye. He recorded it in March 2003 and died in September of that same year. The song was originally written by Trent Reznor of Nine inch Nails and was about drugs and drug addiction. Johnny gave it a whole new meaning with his rendition. House of Cash wasn't his home, but a museum to his life and music. If you really want to see the best telling of his life story, watch "Walk the Line". with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. R.I.P. Johnny. We miss you, brother. (Edited because I had the name of the movie wrong)

[@derikothedon]

I believe that movie title was Walk The Line But yes, great movie

[@seamusburke639]

Trent's version was about drugs. Johnny's version was about LIFE.

[@s.mcpherson6354]

And he could also plug right into the addiction meaning. Johnny had his own long battles with drugs. He always regretted the prices that his wife paid for those addictions, which is why that lyric, and the edit in the video of photos or film of her and his daughter, are so devastating.

[@mathewazaria1549]

I remember that September day. I refused to open my presents for my birthday that day because of it. It upset me to know that he was gone.

[@ChrisHendrickson82]

The Nine Inch Nails song was the song of a young man in the depths of depression realizing that he's destroying his life with drugs and he can't see a way out. The Johnny Cash song is the song of an old man at the end of his life looking back at everything he's done wrong and everyone he's hurt and realizing that there's nothing he can do to make anything better. The woman in the video is his wife June Carter-Cash. She passed away a couple of months after this song was released. Johnny followed her just a couple of months after that. His daughter said that when she heard it she felt like it was his way of saying goodbye. When Trent Reznor was initially asked about Johnny covering his song, he said that he was flattered, but not at all prepared for what he heard. Later, he was in the studio working on some music with Zach de la Rocha when Rick Rubin sent him a copy of the video. From a Rolling Stone interview, “We were in the studio, getting ready to work - and I popped it in,” Reznor says. “By the end I was really on the verge of tears. I’m working with Zach de la Rocha, and I told him to take a look. At the end of it, there was just dead silence. There was, like, this moist clearing of our throats and then, ‘Uh, OK, let’s get some coffee.'” Personally, my favorite Johnny Cash song is "Man in Black." It's where he really lays out his personal philosophy and how he looks at the world. It shows just how remarkable of a person he was. If you check out this link you can see the first time he ever actually performed it, literally the same day he wrote it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXXHZGWBYtKCjNk

[@jamesbraun9842]

It makes sense because Johnny was a alcoholic in his prime years and later 4egretted having the addiction.

[@Robinsos79]

This song punches me in the gut every time.. it was one of the last songs Johnny recorded before he died. His wife had passed not long before and he was just done. He played it for his daughter before it was released and asked what she thought. She said it sounded as if he was saying goodbye. He said "I am".

[@patriciacarson9168]

His wife June is in this video. She passed in May after this video from complications of heart surgery. She died in May and Johnny died in September. Rick Rubin told Johnny he wanted to work on an album with him, and Cash didn't seem sure about what Rick wanted to do. Rick said, "Just play your guitar and do what you feel." Thus the American series came out, and everything is classic.

[@cherilynlarsen8104]

Kills me everytime!

[@mercychoke4475]

Pretty sure this WAS, in fact, the last song he ever recorded... Or, at least, the last video he ever filmed. He was almost completely blind by that time. When he closes the piano at the end, you'll notice he caresses it. That's because he knew he would never open it again. Went to join his beloved wife June, in Heaven, very shortly afterwards. RIP Johnny Cash 🌬🙏🏼🤲🙏🏼🕊🕯⌛

[@whitakerl1]

Do yourself a huge favor a watch the Jhonny Cash movie "Walk The Line". I'd watch a movie reaction for that.

[@GN-jn1ty]

Trent wrote this song as a young man trying to redeem himself. Johnny sang it as old man log past redemption. That's why Johnny's version is so emotional and chilling.

The Original American Badass!🇺🇸💪🍻!! R.I.P JOHNNY!

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

Rick rubin's innate ability to find the core elements of an artist and bring them to the Forefront while leaving the excess behind is really on display with his work but he did with Johnny Cash. The arrangements are so sparse, often just Johnny and his guitar but that is exactly what makes his voice cut to the Bone. I love the years cash was with Colombia, as those are some of the most classic songs in his career. But the stuff he did with American recordings and Rick Rubin so much later in his career are just amazing. What else would you expect from a producer that worked with the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Danzig, Slayer, all within a two-year. Back in the 80s.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

I'm glad you mentioned Rubin. People rightly credit Cash for the performance and Reznor for the song, but I believe it was Rubin who had the idea for Johnny to cover this as well as his concept of how it should sound.

[@harrydewaarheid6134]

Its his way to say goodbye to life. He pased away not long after this song. The greatest storyteller of all times. He made this song his.

[@heathgardner9908]

Initially, Trent Reznor was completely against this cover. It wasn't until he saw the video that he realized what it meant to Cash and signed off on it. And Smokey is right, the two versions of the song are their own thing, bringing different emotions to the table. Very much worth reacting to the original Nine Inch Nails version.

[@ExUSSailor]

Johnny made this, effectively, a whole different song. The original is a very personal song about a person's struggle with addiction. Johnny's version is a retrospective, looking back with regret at his entire life, and, saying goodbye. Also, Johnny's first tour was supporting Elvis, and, he was from Kingsland, Arkansas.

[@stupidpocket8610]

Johnny's daughter said "Daddy it sounds like you are saying goodbye." Johnny said "I am. "

[@ashleydixon4613]

Johnny Cash is from Arkansas. (It’s just that he spent most of his life living in Tennessee.) The video clips where he’s looking in the windows of the little abandoned White House... that’s the house his sharecropper family grew up in, in northeast Arkansas , the Mississippi River Delta. They farmed cotton and obviously had next to nothing. Picking cotton in the blazing hot Arkansas sun-Working like a dog and still having next to nothing; it was a hard life for a lot of people. (i’m from Central Arkansas, no way would I live in that part of the state.) That would be bad enough if you had a stable home life, but despite his mother being a kind, loving woman who probably taught Johnny a lot of his music skills, his father was a raging alcoholic who blamed 12-year-old Johnny for his older brother Jack’s death. Not hard to see where a lot of Johnny’s demons came from. The picture hanging on the stairway is Maybelle Carter-June’s mom-who was like a second mother to Johnny. The Carter family was already big at the Grand ol Opry and on the radio when Johnny was growing up and listening to little June and the rest of her family on his radio! It always just kills me seeing June looking at him with such concern... and then she’s the one who dies three months later. He only outlived her by four months.

[@alfredthegreatkingofwessex6838]

Whoever directed the video is also a genius. I love the parallels to Jonny’s life and the example of the feast in front of him. It looks classy and expensive but it doesn’t look good. There’s nothing attractive about it. Just like Johnnys life at that point. “And you can have it all, my empire of dirt”. Like saying “I wish you had my life and my fame and my money, so you’ll see nothing matters if you’re not happy.” Is like he regrets that because of drugs and his career he’ll always be remembered as the great Johnny Cash. But nothing more. Nothing deeper.

[@Hollywood6IX]

Agreed

[@heyskipj]

I looked at it like they the home, the Gold albums, the museum were all treasures he built. But through selfishness and addictions he drove everyone away. Now he’s got this empire. And he realizes all this shit around him is meaningless. He’s angry, and fuck, he’s burned every bridge now. And fuck, fuck, I’m an addict. You try and build that bridge, I will burn you again. He’s finally realized who he is and offers peace. He apologizes without asking forgiveness. Man in Black/TR. Bad MOFOs

[@pdog547]

@@heyskipj Excellent take, thanks. This song/video is so deep on so many levels.

[@kelly9876]

I think it is relevant that when he signs "empire of dirt" is when they show a cracked gold record. How many people would give their life for a gold record? And he calls it dirt. At the end of his life, we realizes what really matters. The closest friend is his drug addition. The old white house in the video is revisiting his childhood home, his childhood was rough

[@crystalspears465]

So this is one of those songs that stands alone as a cover. I love the original NIN version. Being I'm more into metal, I heard it first although I was very familiar with Johnny Cash as well growing up. The first time I heard this cover, I bawled because it hit so much harder. To me this song lyric wise always felt like it should've come from the perspective of someone much older than Trent was at the time because what I took from the song was the story of someone looking back on their life and all the mistakes they made and the regrets they had and laying that bare and coming to peace with it. From what I understand, Trent originally heard the track and wasn't crazy about it but then saw the video later and was like "ok now I get it." Beautiful song. Fun fact: I grew up in the town that Johnny Cash and June Carter got married in, Franklin KY and the church used to (not sure it they still do cause I don't live there anymore) have Johnny and June look alike contests!

[@pdog547]

Yeah, apparently Reznor was a bit upset at first. But I think he realised it was probably his own pride and maybe jealousy that someone else could take one of his songs and perform it with so much more feeling than Trent could. But Trent was young, he is not stupid and he saw this I think. After he did, I think he probably felt what he should have in the first place - The Great Johnny Cash took one of his songs and made sure it would last forever. Trent should feel honoured, this is a part of American History now.

Johnny Cash was 71 when he died in September 2003. This video was filmed in February 2003. (His wife, June, is in the video and she would die in May of that year.) His health was poor and he was quite frail. He had lived a rough life at times and that can really age a person. Absolutely check out some more of the American Recordings he did with Rubin. Another good cover is his version of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus". And you have to react to "God's Gonna Cut You Down" by him! It was released posthumously, so the video has a lot of celebrity cameos. See if you can name everyone.

The NIN version and Cash's version take on a different meaning almost. Johnny is reflecting back on his whole life, Trent was only like 29 when The Downward Spiral came out, so the lyrics, while deep, don't seem to have as much gravity to them as a man at the end of his life... At least that's how I feel. I love both artists and their version of this song though. I've been a NIN fan for almost 30 years now, I was stoked when Cash covered this.

This is one of the covers that stands alone and is considered better then the original. Rezor said later "ithe song no longer belongs to me"." Cash's version of an older man reflecting on his life. NIN a young man in the midst of it it.Two very different songs even if they same. I wish you would do a reaction to the NIN to see how you react to the two versions. The video was filmed in Feb. His waife passed in May and he passed in Sept of the same year. So Cash's version is also interepretted as everyone leaving you when older be it because they die or not wanting to deal with an older person.

Both versions are unique in what they bring to the table. One is about a young man in the throes of hating/regretting his addiction, the other an old man reflecting on his life and wishing he could change things. They are different beasts that encapsulate the beauty of music perfectly in my mind. That the same song (with a couple of lyric changes that were superficial) can have such a differing impact is nothing less than god to me!

[@nongovernment3606]

The sadness in this version of the song comes from knowing more about him. The more you know the sadder it gets. at this point in his life he was suffering from arthritis in both hands and wrists and playing guitar and piano hurt. so seeing him play both and hearing about the needle and all you know a lot of it is about what he has to do, in order to do what he loved. If you step back and listen to NIN version you feel anger in what he is singing about, your angry with him. Johnny makes you cry for him, he cheated on his wife he was cruel and mean to the people he loved. and he treated himself even worse. Then he found god and a new wife and that was when he did ring of fire and countless gospel songs in the late 80s early 90s. He got in trouble for taxes and lost his home and it was turned into a museum. and eventually closed. in the video he shows clips of his high parts like when he looks at the camera and says you stay the hell away from me. That was him at his highest point. He was on a tv show called Columbo in an episode called Swan Song. it has his song ring of fire in it. I recommend you look it up it is good. After each good high part he follows the scene with a sad reality part of what was really happening in his life. During the crescendo you can see his daughter crying hearing the song and you can see the pain he was suffering while holding the glass pouring it out and when he brought them to his face on how much they shook. This is where 90% of the people who know begin to cry because they know what happened shortly after this.. Rip Johnny Cash the Legend in black

[@greenpeasuit]

A little known collaboration Johnny Cash did, look up One Bad Pig's version of "The Man In Black". One Bad Pig was a Christian Punk band in the late 80s to 90s. Johnny collaborated with them to do a punk version of his song.

This song is on my "Suicidal" playlist that I listen to when I'm feeling incredibly depressed and don't feel like continuing. This playlist somehow helps me stay around...

[@Leozar]

Hope we never hear that playlist. Enjoy life buddy i know it's hard but it has a lot of beatiful things. Wish you the best!!

[@Corificus]

@@Leozar Thanks bro. I am still right here...

[@Leozar]

@@Corificus glad to read that! And thanks for the answer! Have a great day buddy!!

[@kristaspecht]

I also hope to never hear that playlist my friend. Suicide is never the answer. Glad you are here.❤

[@Hollywood6IX]

Choose to live my friend. Whenever your in a dark place just look around you and remember how special your are to be alive. Things might get hard but remember to just keep going. Much love

[@SugarcatPlays]

You know its a good cover when the writer (Trent) says the song is no longer his, it's Johnny's

[@briansanders6247]

Trent said this song was Johnny's song after this recording......LEGENDARY!!!!

[@seandooley226]

In the Video there's a couple things done to emphasize that Johnny's time left was short and the regrets he had. It's filmed in his museum which had been closed for awhile, the huge feast at the Banquet table with no guests, and the end of the song, he closes the piano like a coffin lid. Johnny Cash told his family that this video was him saying goodbye. Rick Rubin, his producer for this project said he cried the first time he saw the video. A pre release copy was sent to Trent Reznor at the studio where he was recording his own album at the time, after he watched it he had to leave to keep from breaking down himself. As for Johnny Cash and genre... Cash and Elvis Presley are the only two musicians inducted into both the Country and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks for doing this one

[@sadiekincaid5310]

@seandooley226 now Dolly Parton is also included in that short list. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November of 2022.

[@heathcornbeef]

Kia ora (hello) cuzzies from Aotearoa new zealand hay dude's please check out TRINITY ROOT'S song CITIZEN live at the tuning fork and if you like it check out THE LITTLE BUSHMENs song Peaceful Man both of these bands are fronted by Warren Maxwell who is an amazing MUSICIAN AND NEXT LEVEL VOCALIST OFF THE PLANET VOCALS POSSIBLY AN ALIEN 👽 WHO KNOWS HE WOULDN'T TELL YOU IF HE WAS AND WHO WOULD BELIEVE HIM IF HE DID

[@thunderspike1892]

Johnny Cash recorded Hurt in March 2003. He died September 12, 2003 age 71. His wife June Carter Cash died May 15, 2003. They were married for 35 years. Johnny were married to Vivian Liberto for 12 years before divorcing her and marrying June. When she died he said that it tore him up inside. He survived her by less than 4 months. RIP

[@dragonladyfink4685]

Trent brought me to discomfort in this song. Johnny makes me HURT. I bawl on Johnny's version. This was his goodbye to the world. Lady in pic is mama... long haired lady is June Carter Cash(wife). Both were dead inside a year of this song ...June 1st. But Johnny couldn't live w/o her.

[@ThexCatmanx]

Rick Rubin didnt produce Slipknot's first album. It was Subliminal Verses and the band HATED working with him.

[@jaxikk]

Hi my favorite rappers (we don't have rap in Poland, we have Hip-Hop). Great reaction as always. For me, this song is Johnny's farewell. It's very good that he took a song from another artist, because it fits perfectly, but i was his way...

[@nammis77]

Watch the movie Walk the Line. Its about Mr. Cash with Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. Really good film.

[@maneatingpie2338]

Trent Reznor himself even said this is no longer his song. It's now Johnny Cash's song. Every time I hear this version I always cry, the emotion in Johnny's voice and playing is just incredible, definitely his song.

[@dawntextor8170]

Have you guys ever done apocalyptica?? Please do, they will surprise and delight you!!!!! They stand alone and have tremendous collaborations, I guarantee you'll be blown away!

[@samdragon2778]

A recommendation. If you haven't done it yet, please try Gorden Lightfoots great song "The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald"

[@almasmith906]

Please do somethings different. React to Dimash Kudaibergen SOS from the Singer China 2017. He can do any genre and has a 7 octave range. He even raps in some songs. He is classically trained and has a mastersdegree. He will amaze you.

[@profanepersonality]

Cash is Rock/Blues/Rockabilly/Gospel; but not Country. Country adopted him.

[@tjmasson1013]

Nine inch nails said they would never play that song again because they said. Jonny killed it so hard. Respect

[@jockmcque3018]

Trent Reznor has said this is now Johnny Cash's song. Back when he was still alive. Probably the best cover version ever. Even beats Frankie Goes To Hollywood Born to Run.

[@lowellupchurch1609]

This song has connected with me on a variety of occasions throughout the years. Killer song

[@jasonfallon9457]

Let’s get back you your crush Maria Brink guys. In this Moment “Burn” Live in Tokyo. You’re welcome.

[@peterhineinlegen4672]

Cash was famously hooked on heroin for a while in the 70s. He's from Arkansas. There was a joke he used to tell - he saw a guy walking down the street wearing only one shoe. So he says "Hey man, you lost a shoe!" and the guy replies "Nah, I _found_ one!"

[@AngelofSunday]

You may be high, but you’ll never be as high as Johnny Cash eating cake under a bush. Check out that meme. Great song btw. So iconic. Both versions.

[@geoffpinkerton63]

Pete and Bas, 80 year old UK Grime artist, you should check them out, their own stuff too their grand children help out with terminology.

[@scottthomas4779]

Correction Rick Rubin only produced one of slipknots records. It was their 3rd one...back to the reaction

[@jasonraines8282]

Great video. That fine gentlemen is buried about 13 miles from my home. In Hendersonville, Tennessee.

[@jeremeywilson2318]

I live in Arkansas & have been by his childhood home in Dyess a couple of times. It’s a historic museum now.
