JOHNNY CASH IS METAL
Thursday, February 26th, 2009 at 1:15pm by Axl RosenbergToday would have been Johnny Cash’s 77th birthday. In his honor, here’s his video for “Hurt” – a cover of a Nine Inch Nails song from the producer of Reign in Blood.
Is this version superior to Trent Reznor’s original? Cash’s age (and personal history) certainly lends the lyrics extra poignancy; he’s not a young man belly aching, but an old man looking back at the mess of his life.
Discuss!

WHILE WE’RE POSTING COVERS OF SOUNDGARDEN’S “RUSTY CAGE”, CHECK OUT JOHNNY CASH’S (+BONUS JC/NIN COVER VIDEO)

Maybe it’s because the Soil version Vince just posted is so damn awful, maybe ’cause the iconic Johnny Cash would probably never appear on this website otherwise — in any case, here’s the dark cowboy’s cover version of Soundgarden’s “Rusty Cage”…and it’s pretty awesome!
Also, if you weren’t depressed enough that it’s Monday, here’s the weepy Mark Romanek-directed video of the Johnny Cash cover version of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt”. Ironically Mr. Cash’s last video ever; very touching and fitting as his final performance.
