That song is so full of emotion, and excellent cover, I love it to peices. It is the song that made me like Johhny Cash. THe video is very emotional too, the simplicity and Johhny's frailty before death.

It's very beautiful yep. :)

NIN did a cover of it right?

Wait...I just realized...This is a NIN cover...not a Cash cover...

Wow...Johnny Cash covering a NIN song huh? Odd but good.

Give me a minute, when I have finished uploading this radiohead demo disc.

Johnny Cash -> Hurt

http://rapidshare.de/files/12044381/Hurt.mp3

Awesome...so I did some reasearch. Cash released an album before he died entitled, American IV: The Man Comes Around where he covers several other artists songs including the Beatles, Sting, NIN, and the Eagles, and then some original songs by himself. It sounds really good. I might just get it.

You mean this album: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006L7XQ/qid=1138492588/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2_2/203-0540551-2507156

Love that cover, my fav is still the original by nine inch nails though

so "hurt" is not written by cash??

so "hurt" is not written by cash??

Wiki link for all your knowledge on the song:

Now if someone could upload that album (if they got it) if the mulitmedia section ;)

always belivied it was a cash written song.. .anyway its a great song..

I'm shocked. I always thought the original was Cash's. His version is so much better!

Thanks for the info ;)

I heard it ...and it is very very solemn. And painful

 

Thanks for the notice

Pure fucking rubbish cover. In no way lives up to the orginal.

what are you on? you been drinkin blood, or burning crosses

 

his voices tone and pace just make the song just before his death and NIN are fucking shite and he has done it justice

oh and could anyone upload his beatles in my life cover from the same album??

NIN aint shit buddy,trent reznor has written some beutiful tunes ( most of them very depressive but still) Johnny cash felt this song represented the way his life was so he did that amazing cover, he made that song his own but there's no need to diss Nin or Cash or whatever.

 

Ps. Chris ( coldplay ) should've never played hurt live, he killed this song :sick:

Pure fucking rubbish cover. In no way lives up to the orginal.

 

Not to dispute your opinion but:

 

Trent Reznor said himself that Johnny Cash's cover affected him so deeply that he has not been able to listen to his own version.

Trent Reznor on Johnny Cash's "Hurt"

 

"By the end I was really on the verge of tears. At the end of it, there was just dead silence. There was, like, this moist clearing of our throats and then, 'Uh, okay, let's get some coffee."

I'm not Trent Reznor. He can like it if he wants. I think it's awful. I think his voice terrible in it. It's so droning. I think it's well crap.

 

P.S. The Beatles suck.

I suppose you love 50 Cent and all that other crap rap and R&B shit.

Hahaha. Where on earth did that come from? I don't think I've ever mentioned anything about rap on this board before. It also makes you look very ignorant when you lump all rap and R & B into the same category as 50 Cent. And lumping Nine Inch Nails into that category, which is what you seem to being doing, is beyond moronic. Bravo. *golf clap*

 

Some people like the cover he did, I don't. I'm pretty sure I should be allowed express my opinion on that without being attacked. I didn't tell people not to like it. I just happen to think it sucks.

:heart: Cash :heart:

i love his music...he was a great musician...great movie about him, btw. :D

Johnny Cash Album Hits Top 37 years On

 

 

Late country legend Johnny Cash has topped the US album chart for the first time in 37 years.

 

A total of 88,000 copies of American V: A Hundred Highways were sold in its first week of release, according to music magazine Billboard. The album is Cash's first to reach the number one spot since the 1969 album Johnny Cash at San Quentin.

 

It features material Cash was working on in the months leading up to his death in September 2003.

 

Cash also tops the country album chart, knocking the Dixie Chicks' Taking the Long Way to number two after seven weeks on top.

 

In 1957, Cash became the first artist to release a full album on the influential Sun record label, ahead of Elvis Presley.

 

Singing in a gruff, baritone voice, he went on to have hits in the 1960s with Ring of Fire and A Boy Named Sue.
