  • Hurt - Johnny Cash

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode the boys untangle the knots surrounding the unlikely pairing of Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash. Despite initial mistrust on both sides, the Reznor-penned "Hurt" takes on new depth and meaning sung through Cash's deep bass. Making it all happen, Rick Rubin walks the line with gentle persistence proving the power of a producer, as Mark Romanek completes the ring of fire with his emotionally-charged video. And if that weren't enough, Ozzy makes an appearance proving that anyone can fly high again with the right guidance and a bit of Calamine lotion! Join the high rollers as they descend into the downward spiral and emerge unscathed, save a mild case of poison ivy.
