NIN fan first but Johnny got this song to another level, his level ! rip John

[@toddrichardson8595]

June Carter saved Johnny's life. He was out of control until he met her. She settled him down quickly...

[@ianpowell1619]

And what exactly is your point, Todd?

[@toddrichardson8595]

@@ianpowell1619 My point is you're a loser

[@holdencaulfield8429]

Cheers for sharing, as I'm sure you were there so this is all essential 1st hand information from a guy who does vids abt bubblegum cards. Never mind, skrew due diligence. Its the Internet.

[@John-ls7qw]

As it happens sometimes the course of one mans life is shared in some way with another Trent's song and Johnny's performance of it takes both of them to a different level if it doesn't drag the heart out of you you clearly don't have One that's the power of both of them

[@peterwelsh1932]

The duet with Bowie. FTW. AF.

[@mattgilbert5850]

I agree with Trent. The video is what really did it for me.

[@davidhines7592]

don't prefer either version. if someone made another cover, unless they try to 'popify' it and instead do it with true feelings, it will be different again. thats the greatness of it. i identify closely with the themes from my own life - different addiction, but also pain, self loathing and regrets and anger at myself... list goes on. point is, i would probably sing to either Johnny's music or some special arrangement, were i able to sing that is. and i would bring my own doubts and regrets and pain to it.

[@BlueBeretFirearms]

I'm old enough to remember the NIN version (still have the CD). Both versions are excellent and carry weight in their own right. Cash's version is gut wrenching knowing it's a reflection of life. A life with extreme highs, extreme lows, and some regret. It's a reminder that the "things" in our lives are just dirt and the people in our lives is what matters. Be sure to check out Lolli Wren's version of Hurt. A new spin on an iconic tune but just a great.

[@170skeith]

I grew up with NIN version but I love both versions they hit powerful emotional points in their own ways and understanding Trent's mindset during writing it works just as well as seeing the passage of time in Cash's music video

[@theahearn2658]

I will always see the original as Trent reznor song. But Johnny Cash took that song and made it his own and elevated it. Even Trent reznor himself said it's not his song anymore. Because Johnny Cash doing that song at the end of his life you could feel the hurt and the regret and even a little shame and so much sadness and heartbreak and that it definitely was on another level.

[@LegendaMK]

Johnnys version was the first I heard, so for me that is the original.

[@kylerobins4058]

Michael Jackson covered alien ant farm too, I guess

[@CoconutLimePizza]

Yeah, my favorite Alien Ant Farm song is Annie are you Ok. I didn't care much for Michael covering it myself, I get that.

[@phantomaudits]

Why does this sound like Audit The Audit? I wonder 🤔

[@thunderbirdmcfly8657]

The greatest love of all was wrote by George Brason, with version we all know? Nothing compares 2 you it was a Prince song but How many people Know? We loved singing by sinead o'connor right? Johnny's version is the version

[@peteycabrera9455]

Both

[@equalopportunitygadfly5908]

Reznor’s version is Thus Spoke Zarathustra, by Friedrich Nietzsche. Cash’s version is the Book of Ecclesiastes. If you can comprehend this you may indeed be onto the meaning of life.

[@BloodyBender199]

I think a person can take a different interpretation of a song than someone who wrote it.. We often fashion ideas to fit our narrative.

[@oliverlambert593]

Is this Audit The Audit or did you just copy his tone and style?

[@NathanielBannish]

I think it's an AI voiceover used for both

[@Manzanahh]

there is a crime channel with the audit guy voice also maybe it is him

[@JohnnyNatrium]

Style? There is a complete lack of style. The entirety of this text was, in all its insulting irony, clearly a vapid, emotionless piece of phony superficial garbage generated by an AI in the first place (except for the part at the end that I'm certain they copy-paste on every video, where they pretend to be interested in the opinions of the viewers but really are just saying "leave a comment so that this gets more engagement and consequently popularity").

[@holdencaulfield8429]

oh yes please more AI talking Wikipedia articles, exactly what the World needs. Great job.

[@sharoncantwell1605]

The leona Lewis cover was awful even sad Kermit’s cover was better imagine being outdone by a muppet 😂

[@jessifer23f]

Really thought it was Cash's version was original.

[@JohnnyNatrium]

This surface-level - devoid of personality / emotional capacity or any unique analytical value - pure garbage piece of *content*, sounds exactly like it was 'written' by an AI, and I'm virtually certain that it was.

[@raphaelsimard9885]

The vagueness, the repetitions, the generic visuals... This is painful at times

[@PaulSmoker420]

"Weighty", not "Wady". 🙄

[@jasonnielsen5976]

I'm going to preemptively apologize, as I get a little heated about this, this song is not only sacred to me, but honestly it's an anthem for emo kids everywhere, I respect Johnny Cash, and have nothing against the cover, the problem I have is where people can't put forth the effort to educate themselves, it's not a freaking Cash song, what he did was exceptional, but this was such a personal offering.

[@andriswood5434]

Oi! It's Goth/Industrial! Emo is an absolute insult! Shame on you! Pistols at dawn! Goth is Goth Industrial is Industrial Johnny Cash is neither, He's just a damned fine musician! Sorry, just get REALLY cross when people mention emo. It is a sure sign of showing one's ignorance.

[@jasonnielsen5976]

@@andriswood5434 I'm not calling NIN emo, I'm saying Hurt is an anthem for Emo kids everywhere, not the same thing, and regardless of your perception of the genre, it's a true testament of the impact of Hurt when it defies the scope of a single genre. Put your guns away, I don't disagree with you, but if you listen to Lorna Shore, The Pain Remains Trilogy, it's bringing in exposure to the Deathcore community, Hurt accomplishing the same thing, it brought a whole new fan base to people who didn't previously have exposure to any form of Industrial.

[@ianpowell1619]

You’re old enough to have had an emotional connection to OG NIN version. You’re old enough to know being an emo bitch at your age is worse than when you did it 30 years ago.

[@hdervish2497]

I'll always love the original. Cash's version is too painful to listen to

[@theahearn2658]

That's kind of the point. And I saw this on another KZbin video but the way it's described is too perfect. Trent reznor's version is a suicide note Johnny Cash's version of it is a eulogy. The song is meant to make you feel it is meant to make you experience raw emotion. And Johnny Cash's version is absolutely the best version of it. If it's too painful for you to listen to then the song conveys what it's been trying to.

[@JohnnyNatrium]

@@theahearn2658 We know that's the point. Everyone knows that's the point. For this guy it may just be a little too close to home and it's okay to not listen to things that make you just feel bad. I'm sure everyone's heard the cover, and I also think that an open mind to art as being emotionally challenging is essential to life. But some things hit a person in a certain way that's just hurtful for them to expose themselves to. No-one said the cover shouldn't exist because it's painful for some guy to listen to. But it's the same mechanism as self-harm to force yourself to feel pain and misery by listening to something that just awakens that in you and that you know doesn't help you if you really listen to what it does to you. Like someone who lost a kid to cancer recently may avoid certain media (or in fact comedy), without shouting for it to be "cancelled" for everyone else. So maybe respect someone's individual preference because they're taking their own responsibility in choosing not to listen to it, and they're not saying "this cover is too painful for *everyone*" and that no-one should therefore listen to it

[@matthlechevoir4643]

Disagree with people saying “Cash is the version…” Well, in facts, it’s not. Full stop. Either all due respect. Then musically, NIN’s version sounds way better to me: the voice, the keyboard..,

[@Guanjyn]

I like the original better and I’m not even a big NIN fan.
