Hurt - Johnny Cash (Originally by Nine-Inch Nails)[/quote]
Each time a thread like this pops up, someone inevitably says this very thing. In turn, I inevitably feel a strong desire to punch something while bashing my head against the wall. Is the remake a bad song? No. It’s really not all that bad. But it’s like some evil genius was brainstorming ways to ruin the original and said, “I know! I’ll get Johnny Cash to sing it in his incredible monotone. Then, I’ll completely de-emphasize the instruments that were so important to the original and replace them with a nice, unintrusive acoustic guitar to compliment the monotone voice of Johnny Cash. I’ll top it off by making sure he sings the song with roughly 1/100th the feeling of the original.” But that’s not where it ends. As if to spit on the original even more, critics could not stop gushing about how “edgy” Cash had been to cover gasp a NIN song, and soon the ignorant masses began to adopt the mindset that NIN had actually covered the song. I wish to God this cover had never come to be.

I’m really sorry you don’t like it. I kinda hate reznor’s voice in this song. I honestly thought johnny put more feeling into it.[/quote]
It’s not that I think the cover is a bad song. I think it’s decent and I occasionally listen to it. I just don’t think it comes close to the original. That post wasn’t saying there is anything wrong with your opinion, though. Music tends to evoke ridiculous reactions.
And ya, when fags like Limp Bizkit cover a song like “Behind Blue Eyes,” everyone loses.

Dude I love NIN but Cash’s version is in my workout playlist, “I Hurt Myself Today” right before some kroc rows. I also listen to a lot of NIN especially Ruiner when lifting.
