I listened to both NIN and Johnny Cash (thanks to the tv playing it for me) last night and noticed that, yes, some people may like one more the other, but both versions suck. Both Reznor and Cash have had much better songs (like every other song they did).

Yeah!!!

Yes, but "Hurt" will be more likely to get you laid if you play it.

Last I remember, rygD was in the Gulf.

I think that whole bullets-getting-shot-at-him, bombs-exploding-at-any-moment-next-to-him will get him laid just fine.

Hey, rygD, hope you're safe. And home.

and less stupid the next time you post.

I came back a while ago. Don't really wish to discuss this anymore after this, but I disagree with the whole Iraq thing. I understand many reasons why Bush II may have decided to invade, but none that seem relevent enough to doom an entire country to becoming a worse place than the hell it started out as, and getting Americans killed at the same time. On that note, I feel that since I was there when it started I need to go back and stay until the end.

And Hurt is not the type of song I think I would want to use to attract pussy, the results would be much less than satisfactory.

I think from here my posts can only get better, as I truly do not care enough about this topic to understand why I posted to begin with.

And from his Mom:

I think Rye Dog and I will get along just fine...

oh, so you think that Johnny Cash's Hurt sucks too?

next time Doc & Lammy are in town, we are gonna show up at your crib.

i will hold you down as for as long as she wishes, as she repeatedly punches you in the cock.

cheers!

Yeah, they both suck. Not that he does a bad job with what he has, as the song blows.

1888, if we get along it will be a first, I don't get along too well with others.

CG... I meant this:

"... but I disagree with the whole Iraq thing. I understand many reasons why Bush II may have decided to invade, but none that seem relevent enough to doom an entire country to becoming a worse place than the hell it started out as, and getting Americans killed at the same time..."

I actually like JC's Hurt... (That looks so wrong) and I like his stuff ALOT!

Grate, you just blew it RyeDog!

no shit, captain obvious, i was talking to digits. i already knew you didn't like it from the title of the thread.

I love it when people say something sucks without saying why.

Here's why Johnny Cash's Hurt does NOT suck: Because he sang it knowing he was near the end of his life, sang it a few months after his wife died, and he sang it in such a way that you could tell every word was absolutely true for him. He sounded like he was torn apart inside and had to get it out, and you can hear it in the way his voice wavers. It doesn't get any more real than that.

His cover of Personal Jesus, on the other hand, sucked. You could tell he just sang that one because he liked the song and thought it would be fun to do, but it didn't really mean that much to him.

this porkio fella speaks the truth.

A good time will be had by all.

I'll voulenteer to drink, and be an onlooker.

The song sucks because whiney songs suck and it is a whiney song.

Same reason Nirvana sucks. I could give more, but I don't feel like going to listen to shit music to support my feelings.

My feelings alone should have been more than sufficient to support my statement. Unless I was bull shitting you.

Whiner.

Weener too.

Yeah, Johny Cash was just whining. What a crybaby. In fact, his middle name is Little Lord Fauntleroy. I believe he's even descended from Marie Antoinette, maybe even FEMA ex-head Michael Brown. He used to always put on Laura Ashley perfume and drink soy milk before going on stage.

Or not.

That song isn't whining. It's FEELING. Try that sometime. It ain't always fun, but it's worth it.

Well put.

twang, twang, twang...

ALL MY EXS LIVE IN TEXASS

Um, no.

The Whiner label was for

I am actually quite whiney, especially when sick. I just don't like whiney music.

I was always a fan on NIN's version, and yes, it did get me laid once. But of course I was only 17-18 at the time when it was released, so perhaps I was more in that retrospective, self-destructive, world-sucks attidtude that comes with those rebellious years. When I saw Cash's version (the video on LaunchCast) this last year, it put a whole new spin on it. As opposed to a physical pain that Reznoe appeared to be talking about in his version (my interpretation), Cash appeared to be discussing the regrets of life and the loss he endured. Theres a scene in the video where it flashed to a photo of his ex, and I got all choked up on it. What Im trying to say is:

They both kick ass!
