blockhouse , to music in A Heavy Metal Legend Secretly Wrote One of Johnny Cash's Best Songs

Based on the title of this post, my first thought was “Hurt,” and I was like “Who doesn’t know that Johnny covered Trent Reznor?”

But then I read the article. Cool find, OP.

scottywh OP ,

Yep… same… It’s why I had to read the article.

I had no idea Glenn Danzig had written anything specifically for Johnny.

It’s a great song… maybe a bit of a stretch calling it one of Johnny’s best but I didn’t want to alter the title.

I like both versions but I have to say I think Johnny did it better.

jesterraiin ,

Same.

It also applies to “Hurt” originally by Trent Reznor.

AttackBunny ,

I like the NIN version of hurt, but I love the Johnny Cash version. It’s just resonates so much better with me.

There was apparently a lot of shit going on in Johnny Cash’s life at the time too. He ultimately died 7 months after filming the music video and June died 3 months after he filmed the music video.

Saddest music video of all time article

Well, Reznor didn’t secretly write Hurt for JC. He released it on Downward Spiral in 94. JC just covered it. Same for Rusty Cage and Personal Jesus.

I do agree that his version of Hurt is fucking phenomenal!

I don't want to sound confrontational or like an asshole but they're different. I mean, we're blessed with both versions. Now that I know this, Danzig's version actually holds more weight. I had no idea he wrote it for Cash. They tell different stories. Fucking cool.

scottywh OP ,

Very fucking cool! No doubt! Glad to have both and they both have their place.
