Thanks for posting this. I checked it out- and it was AWESOME. My husband and I both agreed it was better than the original (and we both love early Nine Inch Nails.)

They had 2 specials on Cash the other night and when they got to the "Hurt" video, the narrator said something to the effect of "most people have now completely forgotten that NIN ever did the song"....;))


[Trent will be fine. He's still got the magnificent visual feast of "The Perfect Drug" to comfort him]

The 2 contrasting approaches to the "meaning" of song are fascinating.

NIN went for a generalized shotgun effect with endless imagery of random, scattered global death and destruction.
It appeared somewhat "political" and judgemental in its intent.

Cash went for an intensely personal, laser-beam focused single shot between the eyes.

Wholesale impersonal death vs. personal, impending death.


[now if we could only get Billy Idol or Type O Negative to cover "Sanctified"]....LOL!
