We all know it’s Johnny Cashs song now though.
Trent Reznor even said so.
Trent is wrong, the original is better. Johnny’s is ok.
They are both great. Johnny’s is definitely more than ok. Even subjectively speaking. You can say you dont like it, or it’s not for you, but objectively, it hits many nails on many heads and is an excellent version. Im not a fan of either band/artist. NiN has some great songs that i have heard. Johnny cash does, too. Hurt is definitely one of the best from both (of what i have heard)
I’m willing to say definitely that if you like the original, you have to like the remake. The only exception is if you’re trying really hard to show your NIN Fandom. But if you relax that instinct for 1 minute, you will like the Johnny Cash version.
would you say it hits the nine inch nail on the head?
I like the original key better - may have been harder for Cash to sing in, though
His version is better yeah
All my fellow edgy 90s goth/headbanger friends: “He called it ‘Nine Inch Nails’ because that was the size of the nails that were used to nail Jesus to the cross”
Then watching an interview with Trent in a documentary 20 years later: “I just thought it sounded cool at the time”.
actual nine inch nails are probably too big to nail someone to a cross with, they’re huge!
The nails in the NIN branded nail gun ammo crates in Quake sure as fuck weren’t nine inch long.
But they still gave enemies a….
Head like a hole 😎
Never ask your fav musicians for the reasoning behind something. It always means less to them than it does to you.
Just like Trent in Exotic Birds.
So did he have a worm bin.
