@@Therealchrist The whole track is a masterpiece, but that huge fucking ending where it sounds like an atom bomb dropping is the closer everyone needs to hear. No pun intended.
Yes Johnny did a good job but I really can't understand how anyone could claim his version is better. This is Trent at his most raw. Heroin is a hell of a drug. The sound, the feel, even his voice sums it up entirely... It's almost a case of 'you have to have been there'. Clean for 15 years now and Trent is actually the reason why. :)
It shocks me that folks don’t know about one of the greatest songs of all time. Cash of course was great but nobody has the raw soul of depression and despair in there voice like Trent. He still gets me through my days
I don’t know about that man there’s something a lot different about being a young person person having time to change. From Johnny Cash’s perspective, it hits completely different and is quite a bit more tragic.
Trent sang this from his soul, his heart, this was a calling for him. To say that a cover from another artist is better is mind boggling. Trent's version is as pure as it comes.
I’m glad you are expanding your musical horizon. as you get older, taste of music will become more diverse. There’s so much treasure out there to discover. Sometimes the same song you love takes on a completely different meaning after several years.
Thank God someone told you this was a NIN song. Drives me crazy when people think it's a Johnny Cash song. Even worse, when people assume Trent covered Johnny's song. Nooooo.😂
No lie, I've been waiting so long for someone to react to the unplugged version. I heard it like 10 years ago on yt and feel like it's the best version, with the original coming in close second, and Johnny's version being something all it's own. Respect for all versions on their own right. Just a powerful set of lyrics.
whit all due respect to sr. cash, but i never understand how most people seems to prefer his version, mean i get it, but trent version is so raw and pure...is like cash version is the "easy listening" side of the song in a way, not a bad way, just different, to me trent version is always a lot better
This was my theme song for a few bad years ... this, and Every Day Is Exactly the Same. Trent is just a genius, and his music got me through some very tough times.
So back when pretty hate machine first came out Trent reznor did a small paper interview where they asked him who his influences were At the time he answered Devo and Johnny Cash It's crazy that both of those bands have covered a nine inch nails song Johnny Cash did hurt of course and Devo covered head like a hole What tremendous validation to have the people that you grew up idolizing cover your music Reznor is a legend not even getting into the amount of awards he's won since he's gone into composition
This was one of my favorite NIN songs. I’m surprised you hadn’t heard this one since you were a fan of theirs in the 90s. It was such a haunting ending to The Downward Spiral. You could tell Trent was facing his demons, his addiction, and his regrets in such a vulnerable way. The Johnny Cash version was much more tragic because he was looking back on his life and his career in his final days. So there was more weight to the pain, since he knew there were no more chapters of his life to write. No more opportunities for redemption. Despite all of his success, all he was left with was the pain and regret 😿 It impacted Trent when he heard it. It’s interesting that Trent used the “crown of thorns” lyric from Johnny Cash’s version rather than “crown of sh*t” from the original in this acoustic performance.
This is the first time I've heard Trent sing Johnny's lyric change. Both versions are fantastic, but the original version always reads to be as more anguished, while the cover reads as more regretful. Both distinct kinds of hurt to express though masterful songwriting and arrangement.
Johnny Cash's version was a cover and it was beautiful and he made it about his life. Trent rezner's version was about a completely different subject, and it was the last song in a story which is the download spiral. There really is no comparing the two. One of the most beautiful songs ever written from one of the most amazing albums ever made
NIN! This was one of my favorites too! Everything Trent did was amazing. He's an amazing song writer! Trying to picture you hearing like "Downward Spiral" and being like "This! This is what I want to do! Dude writes lyrics saying he wants to f*** someone like an animal and everyone is listening to it!" Lol! Just joking but you get what I mean🤣
He seemed to not be so angry as his original album recording. He was younger and anyone who heard iit will know, he was mad on that album. Cash's was so retrospective. And I felt that to be the craziest part . Because trem Reznor didn't and shouldn't have come across that way as he was young
hell yeah! NIN is amazing. you should do more songs off The Downward Spiral album- it's the perfect representation of the descent into madness of depression/drugs/suicidality. this LP holds a special place in my heart
I've noticed one of the biggest differences between Johnny and Trent version of HURT is that Johnny Cash's video really captures you more so with the visuals. If you were to listen to both with eyes closed they are equally powerful and captivating allowing you the listener to hear each of their personal HURT reflected in their singing.
You should check out Trent’s song “right where it belongs” off of Nine inch nails album “with teeth” it holds so much truth about humanity even in todays world!
Check out “ chris kläfford imagine “ he is from Sweden and he is soooo great at singing, you have never heard someone doing imagine better then him! Take care❤
And man...they even have songs with David Bowie! I also love Bowie and "I'm Afraid of Americans" is one of those songs that are unfortunately, how I feel sometimes when I get to know horrible things about what happens in the u.s. ... From wars to school shootings, cults to basic care and rights... It frightens me because western countries seem to follow! Don't get me wrong, please... It's not about individuals, it's about politics.
I have to say, while I do love Johnny Cash's version, and I couldn't argue that it's not the better version, I always, always miss that dissonant note in the verse (the sharp 4/flat 5). That note just crunches at your soul. I understand why they got rid of it for Johnny, but... damn does it make the song.
@@CliffBeatsOfficial Hey Brother, have you heard and seen 'Hurt' by Johnny Cash? I'll give you the link. th-cam.com/video/8AHCfZTRGiI/w-d-xo.html Johnny Cash 'Hurt' less than 6 months before he passes. John realized as we all do as time runs out for each one of us we walk into the here-after with nothing but ourselves.
You gotta check out the studio/album version in headphones. It’s sound design at its finest.
100% this. The album version features so many details this one doesn't, and is significantly more sinister.
Yes he does.

this. you can really feel the pain on the original studio version.

Look up "The Quiet Session" theres 4 or 5 acoustic gems there from NIN.

A chi lo dici, mentre ero seduto sul mio impero di spazzatura e qualsiasi cosa toccava distruggevo. Trento è un genio.
Me too
Masterpiece is the right word. Downward spiral is a masterpiece.

I believe it's because Trent said that the song was Johnny's after Cash covered it. So its a wonderful acknowledgement and tribute.
This is the first time I've heard Trent sing Johnny's lyric change. Both versions are fantastic, but the original version always reads to be as more anguished, while the cover reads as more regretful. Both distinct kinds of hurt to express though masterful songwriting and arrangement.
God I love this version of the song. So beautiful, dark and heartfelt. Absolute perfection.
Your not alone either cliff ❤️🐢❤️ xx
NIN was one of those foundational bands of my youth. Their catalog has very few misses. Trent is a legend 🔥🖤
For me the same, Trent Songs was often what I could say, he speak from my soul.
Trent Reznor is a funking proper legend bro.

Trent rezner's version was about a completely different subject, and it was the last song in a story which is the download spiral. There really is no comparing the two. One of the most beautiful songs ever written from one of the most amazing albums ever made
Hearing this again, 29 years after it was recorded was mind-blowing because of the stark difference in Trent Reznor the person between then and now.
I saw NIN at least 3 times live, once with David Bowie. They were one of the best bands live that I have seen.
This song, along with K's Choice's "Not An Addict," both have different meanings after beating drug addiction.
I've never heard this version... *shivers*
Cliff you should also check out Hollie Wren's version of Hurt. Another soulful rendition. Love your vids bud. ❤
Great reaction to truly one of the best songs ever written. Cheers!
You sir, are hands down the nicest and most real dude on TH-cam. Love the channel and keep up the great work! Peace and love brother.
🖤NIN🖤 I'm already feeling my heart go tighter... I've been through that ish... Exactly.
1st time for me too! Not surprised Trent wrote it! It destroyed me either way!
✌️♥️
Kaleo "Save Yourself" live amazing song and breathtaking scene where it was preformed.
This is beautiful. I think both Johnny Cash and Trent Reznor sang this song digging deep into their life experiences. I felt their pain.
Was able to seen NIN in concert.. amazing
This song is still so moving live ❤
There's a song from this same session called "non-entity", you should check that out! It's really good
NIN! This was one of my favorites too! Everything Trent did was amazing. He's an amazing song writer! Trying to picture you hearing like "Downward Spiral" and being like "This! This is what I want to do! Dude writes lyrics saying he wants to f*** someone like an animal and everyone is listening to it!" Lol! Just joking but you get what I mean🤣
4 minutes in and that left Tat of yours is already tingling? "He likes it, HE LIKES IT!".
Everytime I hear someone talk about this song, they sound like they believe Johnny Cash wrote it and Trent covered it, not the case....
Beauty is in all music forms, it’s just finding it and appreciating it. You have a pure heart because of what you’ve been through.
He seemed to not be so angry as his original album recording.
He was younger and anyone who heard iit will know, he was mad on that album.
Cash's was so retrospective. And I felt that to be the craziest part . Because trem Reznor didn't and shouldn't have come across that way as he was young
You NEED to do the studio version.
hell yeah! NIN is amazing. you should do more songs off The Downward Spiral album- it's the perfect representation of the descent into madness of depression/drugs/suicidality. this LP holds a special place in my heart
I just see you have react to the song ... always good react ...your so gentle and empatic

Love your videos!!!

More NIN would be awesome. A really haunting song is “This isn't the Place” off of Add Violence. Would love a reaction!
A masterpiece lol v feel the same way

Trent did heroin with Bowie in the 90's around the time of the downward spiral, hurt was written towards the end of that addiction if I remember right
According to the record nine inch nails is trent reznor.

Trent Reznor wrote this. Johnny Cash's version is the cover. The original studio version is very different & (as you said of Cash's) more complete.
Reach out to us too if you need to!
Is someone going to tell him re Johnny Cash?
This song smells like my high school bedroom
You could go out with a bang and really piss TH-cam off by reacting to NIN's uncensored 'Closer' - I wonder what email you'll wake up to!😉😀
I’m going to get those emails either way 😂❤

@@davidcochran6291 I did that video almost a year ago 🙏
Johnny cash sang it more heartfelt and raw
Interesting that in this version he changed “crown of shit” to “crown of thorns” from the Johnny Cash version
JC says “crown of thorns”.
@@CliffBeatsOfficial sorry autocorrect changed what I meant to type
Likely has to do with the setting.
I don’t think he said anything like that (take it, it’s yours).
I still prefer Johnny's version.
You should react to rappin' for Jesus it's a Christian rap made by a church that actually goes pretty hard
Gave up, from Closure, was amazing
