@@DJ_Mescalino the thing is, they may have the same lyrics but are both singing about very different things, Trent = singing about his drug addiction // Cash = singing about his life both equally amazing and both their own they may have same lyrics but the meaning behind the songs are vastly different
@@Srsli Well Cash also faced addiction, But i do agree that cash spreads the story wider over his career as where Trent may only describe a small period. Just for some reason Cash-es version resonates deeper with me. I believe even Trent did so as well and said "this is now your song" to Johnny Cash . Regardless of the version Trent does deserve credits for writing those lyrics.
This song definitely stands on its own as a good song, but in order to really get why it's so amazing (and to really get why everyone in the crowd is so into it), you have to hear it in the context of the entire Downward Spiral album. It's a concept album. EDIT: And by the way, there's a reason this album is a QUADRUPEL platinum album. It's amazing, and truly an incredibly major piece of American culture. It would be well worth your time to listen to the album, or even react to the album. It's almost like classical literature-it has had such a profound influence on music and culture since its release that it truly is a work of art that everyone should take in at some point in their lives. It's just that important of an album.
You should have decked them for that. Mr cash faced is own mortality with this song. I'm not a violent person but I would have swung on that douchebag for that.
@@skeetus heroin is a bad drug. Yes the downward spiral does explain alot. But diff songs on that cd explain themselves in very diff ways. Trent reznor is truely genious. Turned his pain into something he loved. Too many musicians today do the opposite.
I fuckin LOVE this song! Gives me chills every time I hear it! So real, so deep, so raw, so simple yet so emotional! This was an amazing live performance too! Fantastic!!
There's a video out there of a live performance of this song with Nine Inch Nails collaborating with David Bowie. It's worth checking out if you haven't seen it.
"Something I Can Never Have" is an amazing live performance from this same concert. Not to mention Wish, and Terrible Lie. NIN is one of the best live bands you'll ever see.
should do March of the Pigs by NIN. if you've already heard it, makes sense why you haven't done a reaction to it, but if you haven't, I think it's right up your alley
I've been commenting on all.your videos to do NIN. It's hard to search your vids for certain bands, so I just found this. Yes, do more, his musical range is mind-blowing. He does everything from making you want to cry in your pillow, to wanting to blow up your dog... The man is one of the modern musical genius composers.
Alex, NIN is one of those bands that actually defined a whole genre and, some could even say, a generation. I noticed in your previous reaction to NIN that you didn't like it as much, but give them a chance and watch a full live concert from them. It's awesome.
Trent Reznor ends every concert with ‘Hurt’. This song and ‘Something I Can Never Have’ feel like his most personal songs he has ever written. Those two songs are in my top ten of the most beautiful songs of all time ✌️😘💕
Thank you! for enjoying the quiet moments and the vulnerability, just like the crowd in the venue, (and NIN for including the crowd noises in the song) like you said its an outro track so after so many emotions in a cd you need a nice send off haha
I'm telling you, watching the video/listening to the song on TH-cam is great but actually watching him preform this song live, it just brings a whole other level to everything. The emotion, the sounds, the lights, the overall vibe, it was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I felt like I was floating in the dark and at the end he turned on the bright lights and you could see everything in the room and it brings you back and ur like "holy fuck.... I just experienced that..." the next two days I was like, speechless. I was just in my own little euphoric world without any negativity. NIN concerts are definitely worth the fuckin price
You hit the nail on the head with the concept of an album. I really hope that concept doesn't die with music turning to online media. It adds a whole other layer to the art of music. Nothing like buying the physical CD and that first listen from beginning to end.
Heared the Cash-version before without knowing the title, but didn't realize at first, that this NIN-version was the same song, not to say, the original! IMO both versions are outstanding and perfect, and each one has it's own meaning!! I like both versions - and I mean - A LOT!!!
YAY! You reacted to the good Live version of this song. There is another one that everyone reacts to which was part of a charity benefit where Trent really didn't want to perform Hurt and it shows. Anyways, love NIN, check out Johnny Cash's cover (official music video) of this song and also NIN's Terrible Lie!
Wow I've been waiting for this, thanks Alex! You need to do a reaction to the new Devin Townsend video Spirits will Collide. Dont be the last one to react to this Masterpiece and regret it man.
wow, I'm not a huge NIN fan but that was a great live vid, love the crowd participation. I agree you should check out Johnny Cash's version - one of the last songs he recorded, and he brings such emotion to the song.
Please, check some symphonic Black Metal. You won't regret it. ''Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the great apocalypse'' at Wacken 2012 or ''Gateways'' same show.
The original live video performance from the O.G. Downward Spiral tour (which was their video on MTV for the song) is even more mind blowing than this was. It's use of projected film on semi transparent screen & the raw reactions from the crowd to a relatively new song are astounding. Also - his original performance audio captured the lyrics more clearly , as it's become more purely expressive (inaudible whispers) thru the years. This is a good thing - as his confidence the audience knows the lyrics is so high, he basically disappears into the song & let's it's quieting tones take over, almost completely.
You NEEEEEED to do the entire Downward Spiral album. Also, there's one line that gives away the meaning of the song and album. "The needle tears a hole. The old familiar sting." Heroin. The whole thing is about a descent into heroin addiction.
You should check out Black Flame by Bury Tomorrow. The cleans are something I’d follow into battle, while the screams will make you glad you’re not fighting them
If you ever get a chance to see NIN live you simply have to go! He usually closes with this song and the experience is something else entirely. Make it a bucket list item, you won't be disappointed.
You obviously need to react to Johnny Cash's version. It was one of the last songs that he had recorded before he died. His wife had died not long before, so it kind of gave a bit of a new meaning to the song. And the emotion in the video is so deep that it is considered by many to be one of the best music videos ever made.
hey alex love ur reactions!!! u should do fleshgod apocalypse - thru our scars,signs of the swarm - cesspool of ignorance, SUICIDE SILENCE - Unanswered (Featuring: Phil Bozeman of Whitechapel), whitechapel the somatic defilement !!! :DDD
Something i can never have by nine inch nails is powerful.
yep , my wife left me 2 months ago ... hurt and something i can never have .... listen to them daily , not really helping tho lol
Johnny cash did a great cover of hurt before he died. This tune is so deep in so many ways
Yup Trent Reznor praised Cash's interpretation of the song for its "sincerity and meaning", even saying "that song isn't mine anymore."
I think the original is better
@@imatoaster7831 there is no better or worse in that manor... and one think wich wins is music
Songs are like girls, if Johnny Cash does them, their his :-D
The man in black's version is better. The end.
Voice of the soul by Death... I'm requesting for months
now you HAVE to do Johnny Cash's version of the song.
YES!
peacex
Not as good as the original tbh
@@Shanks8898 I have to disagree, imo is one of the covers that are better than the original, but it's all about perspectives
im 50/50 on this one !
Scuffled Ice Cubes your deaf or tone deaf if you don't agree
First... more NIN. Trent is just mind blowing. Second... now you need to watch Johnny Cash's version, it is amazing. He really makes it his own.
Yes, while i have the upmost respect for the original i think the Johny Cash version is better.
@@DJ_Mescalino the thing is, they may have the same lyrics but are both singing about very different things, Trent = singing about his drug addiction // Cash = singing about his life both equally amazing and both their own they may have same lyrics but the meaning behind the songs are vastly different
For that reason i like them both as separate entity's
@@Srsli Well Cash also faced addiction, But i do agree that cash spreads the story wider over his career as where Trent may only describe a small period.

Regardless of the version Trent does deserve credits for writing those lyrics.
Please react to Johnny Cashs version. You will not regret it
I agree worth listening to think you will enjoy it
Agree
Reading my mind hah
Also Johnny Cash faced his own mortality when he remade this.
I was just about to say this. My MOM even loved and cried to the Johny Cash version. Really awesome.
This song definitely stands on its own as a good song, but in order to really get why it's so amazing (and to really get why everyone in the crowd is so into it), you have to hear it in the context of the entire Downward Spiral album. It's a concept album.

Quadruple.
That's the word you were trying to spell. 😉☺✌
What he said 😂
I know a ton of people have already been saying it, but the Johnny Cash version is probably the greatest cover ever recorded.
I had someone say to me it was the worst cover ever. I wanted to yell at them
You should have decked them for that. Mr cash faced is own mortality with this song. I'm not a violent person but I would have swung on that douchebag for that.
Johnny Cash's version oozes with being tired of it all.
NIN's version oozes with Trent's pain of losing someone and regret.
React to Johnny Cash's cover of this
OMG YES!! My fave 'band' ever!!😍 I've seen him live so many times and he never disappoints💚💯
Saw them once with A Perfect Circle!
I've only seen them once which is so sad. They super rarely come to Minneapolis.
He gets better and better!
Rammstein has a new song out. Deutschland. React to the video bro! Those guys are the balls
One of the best songs ever written. Its about drug addiction. Read the lyrics and react to johnny cash verion
chrispy silverymoon it’s also a sort of suicide note after the protagonist in The Downward Spiral shoots his head off
@@skeetus heroin is a bad drug. Yes the downward spiral does explain alot. But diff songs on that cd explain themselves in very diff ways. Trent reznor is truely genious. Turned his pain into something he loved. Too many musicians today do the opposite.
Too many in that past took the wrong way out.
More Nine Inch Nails, please. Try Wish, or Happiness in Slavery. They both have a lot more energy.
Pls react to the new rammstein music video its awesome af!!!!!
It gets copyrighted pretty quickly though. Seen a few reactions and most of them get a strike in a few hours.
More NIN live show reacts! The light presentations and energy is AMAZING😍
I fuckin LOVE this song! Gives me chills every time I hear it! So real, so deep, so raw, so simple yet so emotional! This was an amazing live performance too! Fantastic!!

You should react to "we're in this together" by NIN. One of my all time favorite songs.
Love that song. Some recommendations:
- the day the whole world went away
- something i can never have
- everyday is exactly the same
Hey Alex, I love your videos, they bring me such joy and I look forward to watching them after a long day! I love it! Keep up the good work.
Now you need to react to Johnny Cash remake of this song. It was amazing, you will love it.
I've been commenting on all.your videos to do NIN. It's hard to search your vids for certain bands, so I just found this. Yes, do more, his musical range is mind-blowing.

Next try "Wish" by NIN 💖
Yes
The Downward Spiral is one of the greatest albums of all time.
This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
Depressing as hell song but also amazing, please react to more Downward Spiral songs, amazing NIN album
Thank you! for enjoying the quiet moments and the vulnerability, just like the crowd in the venue, (and NIN for including the crowd noises in the song) like you said its an outro track so after so many emotions in a cd you need a nice send off haha
Alice in Chains - Bleed the Freak
In Flames - Cloud Connected
i watch all your reactions but almost never type soz but this song brings tears to my eyes the lyrics so strong im an older guy so it speaks volumes
my fave song. at download fest just everyone crying. Trent is a legend
Great video and keep the amazing energy up man!
Amon Amarth First Kill!
Please do nine inch nails - closer and make sure it is the uncensored official music video
You would love every NiN live video that they have on their channel, pick any, a lot are right from the stage, MORE NIN!!!!
Dude! Just react to Teacher, teacher by Jinjer!
You definitely should!
Cheers man
Good song, but Johnny Cash did such a good job, that Trent himself said that its' Johnny Cash's song now
W1ck3d Rav3n13 well it’s not nearly as good.
yea, you're in the minority in this one.
yay I'm so glad you did this
Also, react to more NIN please. Maybe Mr. Self-Destruct, Somewhat Damaged, Wish, or Ruiner.
Apocalyptica - Battery. At Hellfest.
They will leave you wordless.
It's even that possible? It is
I love this whole concert.Im glad you did this version and NIN's instead of Cash's version.
I absolutely love Trent Reznor! He's a fkn musical genius!
This was the song of my soul as a teenager
Can we get a Nothing More reaction - this is the time (ballast) c'mon bro let's get it !!!
Why do you want a radio track?
Pick a track with some substance.
Christ copyright would be better
I like Don't Stop with Jacoby Shaddix and Mr. MTV
Honestly I haven't heard a song from them i didnt like. I think Alex would jam to this band
I'm telling you, watching the video/listening to the song on TH-cam is great but actually watching him preform this song live, it just brings a whole other level to everything. The emotion, the sounds, the lights, the overall vibe, it was unlike anything I've ever experienced.

Fire from the gods - end transmission
Song is brilliant definitely deserves more attention
Seeing NIN live was my first concert. Hearing Hurt live is a piece of me I will never forget.
this song is amazing in it's simplicity
Mind blowing band live, nice one sir 😎
Probably one of the best songs ever about the touchy subject of heroin addiction.
I also think you should listen to the entire downward spiral home it's like listen to an audiobook you got to hear the whole hair thing
MORE QUEEN!!!!
Heared the Cash-version before without knowing the title, but didn't realize at first, that this NIN-version was the same song, not to say, the original!

Ahh...as I watched it with you, I realized I haven't listened to NIN for a while. I think I have my program for the rest of the day.
“Happy In Slavery” from Woodstock ‘94 is a must.
This has been my favorite live performance of all time
Thank you!! For the longest time I couldn't recall where the song in Rick and Morty S2 finale belonged to.
So beautiful 😢
Please React to Alter Bridge - Words Darker than their Wings Live at the Royal Albert hall
Yes!
Man, lost my 17 yo neice a month ago, was starting to have good days but relistening to this just did me again.
Wow I've been waiting for this, thanks Alex!
You need to do a reaction to the new Devin Townsend video Spirits will Collide. Dont be the last one to react to this Masterpiece and regret it man.
Johnny Cash did a killer cover of Hurt. He was country of course. But The Man In Black was very influential on a lot of metal guys. Myself included.
React to hickory creek of whitechapel, you'll love it
Not that this isn't great but there are better live versions. Trust me. I've seen them a few times and it's an experience.
So glad you did this.
You should do "Closer" next !
I love the live version where David Bowie sang with Trent.
wow, I'm not a huge NIN fan but that was a great live vid, love the crowd participation. I agree you should check out Johnny Cash's version - one of the last songs he recorded, and he brings such emotion to the song.
Please, check some symphonic Black Metal. You won't regret it.
''Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the great apocalypse'' at Wacken 2012 or ''Gateways'' same show.
Please check out the whole album. While not my favourite by these artists, it is still an unbelievable concept album.
Fantastic song. Facing the reality of life/death and people you’ve affected along the way IMO.
Reminds me of the girl that got away. She introduced me to NIN. Sigh... such feels.
fun fact: Mr.Reznor is a classically trained pianist.
Also the video for Deep is just kick ass. So is the song, very good, driving beat.
I concur with many others here. You absolutely have to do Johnny cash's version now.
If you want more NiN, you need to do Wish or Happiness in Slavery from the Broken EP
You are awesome!React to Head Like a Hole.Or March of the pigs.It will Rock!!

Heroin. The whole thing is about a descent into heroin addiction.
There is a cool live version of this song of NIN with David Bowie and Adrien Belew...
Nine Inch Nails - wish ( ft. Chester Benington - Linkin park)
You should check out Black Flame by Bury Tomorrow. The cleans are something I’d follow into battle, while the screams will make you glad you’re not fighting them
More NIN!!!!
Trent Reznor said this song was no longer his after Johnny Cash covered it. Maybe check the cover out. Goosebumps, I assure you.
Told ya I'd watch it 👌
You should react to second and sebring by of mice and men soon but keep up the uploads 🔥
Trent Reznor, their vocalist is from Mercer PA....which is less than an hours drive from where I live.
This is Powerful live
If you ever get a chance to see NIN live you simply have to go! He usually closes with this song and the experience is something else entirely. Make it a bucket list item, you won't be disappointed.
The lead singer said that after hearing Johnny Cash's version of Hurt it wasn't his song anymore.
You obviously need to react to Johnny Cash's version.
It was one of the last songs that he had recorded before he died.

hey alex love ur reactions!!! u should do fleshgod apocalypse - thru our scars,signs of the swarm - cesspool of ignorance, SUICIDE SILENCE - Unanswered (Featuring: Phil Bozeman of Whitechapel), whitechapel the somatic defilement !!! :DDD
We want more NIN
More BucketHead!! MORE!!!!!!
Yesssss finally. But do johnny cash version.!!!!!
Westside Connection used this track for their song, " Tha Gangsta, Tha Killa and the Dope Dealer"
