Personally I think the NIN version of this song is far better, but all my friends seem to disagree with me. Let's settle this argument, who did it better, Johnny Cash or NIN?
Hurt
Jackson James

NIN, the johnny cash version is indulgent rubbish.

the (quiet) version is the definitive hurt experience.

Piano hurt>guitar hurt
Nathan Howard
NINs version is far superior in every musical way and form. The only thing the original has going for it is the fact that Cash sings it.

This is some quality b8 user, but I'm not biting.
Andrew Ortiz
Trent Reznor, for all his talents and genius, cannot fucking sing, so it's obviously gotta be Johnny
Nicholas Parker
I prefer Cash's version
Ayden Bennett
Cash does do the vocals better and clearer but Trent's versions have some serious heart to them especially after playing TDS in its entirety
this is the best version, I actually don't like the version that appeared on TDS much anymore
Evan Bell
They're 2 very different songs with the same theme. The other is about after the suicide with regret about it, the other is accepting the inevitable death that's in nature of us.
Chase Barnes
NIN is the correct answer
Ryder Green
Cash 100%, his vocal delivery is leagues ahead of Reznor's on a song that's all about the lyrics and what they mean.
Samuel Diaz
As a finale to TDS its incredible but on their own Johnny Cash's definitely sounds better, but if we are talking about Trent playing it live on the piano then that wins by miles.
Dominic Lopez
This is the best version of the song.
Ayden Diaz
Ditto. Underrated dvd.
John Stewart
NIN, because Cash's version is the reddit version
Jordan Cruz
The opposite is true actually.
Parker Jones
nope
Jonathan Mitchell
Not true
Angel Smith
Suicide or Looking back on your life near your death bed
That's the difference in the versions to me
Cooper Rodriguez
I identify myself more with Trent.
Henry Jones
>IIIIiii...shat myself today
Austin Edwards
I like both versions, but find the NIN version more powerful in the context of The Downward Spiral.
Matthew Baker
If you guys want to associate reddit with that, go ahead. But they wank over Trent's mostly because of Rick and Morty.
Evan Perez
wrong
Charles Johnson
Are you that fucking ignorant? Reddit even jokes about their "Cash > NIN" circlejerk
Nicholas Perez
When just listening to the songs on their own, I can understand why people say Cash's version is better. But The Downward Spiral is all build up to Trent's version, and it's a lot more satisfying.
Ayden Lewis
Unpopular opinion: I don't like either version.
