You are least right about one thing, the songs were great without cash, but WITH cash the song are so great their original owners should call Johnny up and say "thanks John for showing me how my song was suppost to sound, I promise to try harder next time".

And yes I admit Hurt is not as great as it could be. But with his condition "autonomic neuropathy" and the fact the he keeps getting pneumonia so bad that it almost shuts down his lungs, his voice is not at it's greatest.

Aretha Franklin covered a great song in "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" by Otis Redding. Do you ask yourself why did she have to do that?

That's the point of a cover, taking a great song, and doing it your way.

Cash is amazing with his covers. NIN's "Hurt" was good, but Cash's is GREAT!

Hey, originally I just said I thought the covers were funny. I didn't say they were particularly good or bad (though on many I am leaning more toward bad). Then you guys said something along the lines of "well we should rough up BustaMike so he sees that Johnny Cash is the greatest artist ever."

Hurt is mediocre, IMO. The NIN version is much better, though I can understand the appeal of Cash's version. His cover of In My Life is much much worse than the original, but again I can kind of see how people could like it. Then we get to Rusty Cage. This cover is a travesty. He took an incredible song, switched all the timing to 4/4, and destroyed the good guitar part by replacing it with something an imbecile could write. How anyone could like this is beyond me.

Cash's covers are wonderful, fantastic, and amazing. His cover of Hurt is on of the best, if not the best, covers of all time. It is simply unbelievable. Johnny is simply and always will be 'The man in black'.

Everyone has their right to an opinion, there is nothing wrong with saying that you don't like a song. I just don't like you calling the cover "funny". It's a powerfull song about adiction and depression (both things that he knows well, and why he liked the song). It is also one of the last time June Carter was seen on video alive. So the cover is anything but "funny".

in fact I just heard this song (hurt) the other day on the tv show Boston Public. I had heard rusty cage before.

But anyways it is an interesting version. I like Johnny Cash. The only country I can stand- much of it has to do with his image. The version I had he doesn't say crown of ****- he says crown of thorns. I don't like that change though. But the song still moves me as does NIN's version. Although I still like NIN's version a little bit better. They strike me as needle users more than Johnny Cash for some reason . But Johnny is a hard drinker- I'm sure he's been through his bouts of pain.

Yeah, but Cash was a major druggie back in his younger years, too. He and Jennings were crazy into the chemicals, if I recall.

hmm I wonder what he was into. He's lived the hard life no doubt. He definately has the qualifications to sing that song . Now if the Dixie chicks or some other pampered young country star sung that song it would be different.

funny story I heard by Reznor. It seems Trent got all upset when he heard a stripper in a strip club somewhere in american was doing her dance to the song Hurt

I can't think of a worse song to dance to. Amazing.

I can understand why Trent was upset.

listening to 13 now. I can't say I like Cash's version better. I'm a big Danzig fan though . While the lyrics seem to fit Cash, the song's rythym doesn't sound right when Cash does it. He changes much of the song's music and pace around. To a lesser extent he does this with rusty cage as well. And for the same reason I do like Soundgarden's a little bit better. But Cash's versions are interesting.

But I do think Cash did a great job with hurt. He got the pace and tempo of the song right. And it gives me the same kind of feel that NIN's versions does.
