Reznor previously had a big brush with country music back in 2003, when Johnny Cash delivered a stark version of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” forwent on to claim the CMA Award for Album of the Year in 2003, while “Hurt” picked up Single of the Year and Video of the Year for its Mark Romanek-directed clip — but Reznor’s composition didn’t wind up among the final nominees in the Song of the Year category.
That experience of having a personal song interpreted by a country icon was also strange for Reznor at first. “You feel a little bit violated, you know?” he said. “And then you get over that, and you realize it has become something else, and the Johnny Cash thing is incredible. It’s very flattering.”, but it’s hard to imagine the ceremony passing without at least some mention of the song. Artists slated to take the stage include Dierks Bentley with Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Eric Church, Chris Stapleton with Pink, and Lady Antebellum with Halsey.

what did i just read
So proud of this cowboy
Johnny Cash covers ONE song...
Country music veteran?
Country Music veteran Trent Reznor? I mean, good for him but... Really?
Country music veteran?
Hey I’m just happy that Trent gets recognized for his contribution to this song. That’s really important for the original artist to be recognized!
Asajii Mate! Maaate! Maaaaateeeee!

He did create the biggest country song ever in old town road soo
Country Music? Have you LISTENED to nineinchnails ?
Pretty Little Hay Machine? Wut?
.... That's it... The world is on it's fuckin' head....
🤨🤔🧐
... hwat?
Johnny Cash recorded 'Hurt' so it kind of comes around sideways...
Head like a hole! This country’s my home! I’m an American boy! Got country boy soul! 🇺🇸

🤔
So Trent Reznor counts as country but not Lil Nas X. Wonder why that is.
Back in the day, 'Reznor' and 'country' in the same sentence would have been unimaginable, except as parody tracks like this. 'I reckon Noah's ark would have been just like the love boat.'
pretty cowboy hat machine
Ah yes, my favorite country artist, Nine Inch Nails.
what
gayh0rney
COUNTRY VETERAN? WTF
LOL!
I been listening country all this time?
SLAVE SCREAMS You load sixteen tons and what do you get? SLAVE SCREAMS Another day older and deeper in debt. SLAVE SCREAMS St. Peter don’t you call me, cause I can’t go. SLAVE SCREAMS I owe my soul to the company store.
Country?
I....hmm.
I think that headline might be missing a comma!
masonhastie
I mean he wrote Johnny Cash's country hit Hurt.
Ummm... what? Yeah, no more proof needed that I have, somehow, ended up in an alternate universe.
A genre is born.
Say what?
DAVEfromMN
um
I wonder what LilNasX has to say about this
Does he look like Messi or is that just me
Jojojo....se vale experimentar con estilos, its like Lennon fr Billie ellish

I mean after rolling stone hosting a political podcast with two absolut dimwits it’s no wonder we endet here.
The song is formed around one of his samples off of Ghosts IV
shrekd
Paul Raven used to tell me a joke all the time. 'Did you hear what happened to Trent? People would ask 'what' like he died or something. 'Nothing'! Paul would reply. And laugh. Well things have changed.
A solid 75% of his songs repeat the title of the song as the first lyrics... he’s not as great as people think
'Head (of cattle) Like a Hole (in my bucket)'
You mean music veteran who has written country music. Yet another misleading (inaccurate) article title.
I’m more thrown off by the use of “veteran” here; has he written or had many other samples used in country music songs?
It will go nicely with his Tony Award.
Ahhh yes with county classics like Starfuckers inc and The Perfect Drug, well earned
mythrus
I don't think he's a veteran but show me.
Who?
Animal is right up there with folsome prison blues with country classics
I remember when Reznor discovered other great country music talents in his genre such as Marilyn Manson
Wait, what?
So they will acknowledge an industrial/metal/punk contributor but wouldn't acknowledge Lil NasX? I wonder what the difference between the two artists really is?
Just as MLB vet Trent Rozier wins his first MVP. Wow congrats
😆😆😆😆😆
Wait. What?
So jarring when there’s a glitch in the matrix
Well, if Johnny Cash can be in the Rock & Roll, Country and Gospel Halls of Fame...then this shouldn't sound strange at all. Good for Mr. Reznor. Hoping to see him get the Emmy & Tony Awards for his EGOT,
It was inevitable...
I was always a fan of Trent Reznor's industrial..wait *squints eyes* country music..? 🤔
i love his new single with George Strait 'Write This Down In It'
