What made Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt so impactful was his age. It’s something that Trent Reznor couldn’t replicate the depth in his lyrics and performance because Johnny added a timeline to the song. In Hurt you can feel a struggle…but in Cash’s hurt you absolutely know it’s been a life time of suffering. With respect to you Sir, you have had a profound effect on this song for much of the same reasons. You softened the tone of the song which took away the original angst and replaced it with pain. And your age added a timeline to this song. We get an entirely new performance out of your version. It’s much more of story in that sense. Loved every second of it.
What is this voodoo!? I read your comment and glanced up to check the time on my phone & it's 7:31. About to go for round 2 on the coffee tho. I must add - this is a phenomenal cover!
Hearing the strumming of the chords, the striking voice and the completely zen puppy on the table, I would never have imagined that it was a personal interpretation of a Slipknot song.
Four years ago, and this cover still hits different, old man. The way he pours his soul into it is unreal. We can feel every bit of pain and emotion-you earned our respect!
You cannot sing this song unless you have lived the song! My wife (of almost 30 yrs.) and I are going thru the fire right now. I cried my eyes out watching u play this. God Bless You! This is what I love about RUclips. You do not have to sell out Arena's to have an impact on someone's life!
Hear that bro. I sent this song with lyrics to a woman who I love but realize I've wasted 7 years of my life with, just to end up being used. She's a toxic narcissist, and I finally realize that she's never going to change . Stay strong and put yourself first, man. There are plenty of chicks out there who will appreciate you.
Frank, you've given 'Snuff' a whole new soul. This isn't just a cover; it's a lifetime of emotion in every strum and note. Can't stop listening. Thank you for this masterpiece. 🖤
This is the song I found you from around three and half years ago. And this rendition might just replace the old one for me. Love the sleeping puppy and the anguish you can convey with your voice!
I swear man... Every time I feel like shit, one of your videos pop up and I instantly feel better... You probably don't realize how awesome you are and that makes you even better... I sincerely appreciate how real you are... This world is filled with cardboard cutouts and husks of what once were humans and it's utterly refreshing to know that in various dark corners of the world, people like you still exist... Thank you
What an absolutely beautiful cover. Thanks for sharing. It made me cry listening to this. . . We just had a bereavement in our family that is tearing me apart! God bless you! This was like medicine for my broken heart!
4 years later and your version still makes me cry every time! You can hear the pain, sadness and desperation in your voice. I’ so very sorry you lost whoever you dedicate this song to.😢❤
Greetings from Brazil, Mr. Frank Watkinson. I recalled your video about the song "Snuff" from four years ago. I am glad for that; please continue with your channel. You sing very well and touch many people. Thank you very much!
Naysayers, what naysayers? Every comment has been positive as they should be. This man put his heart and soul into his version of Snuff. It’s outstanding!
You gave this song a new life even though it has never gone away. It will last forever in its original form. You will live on forever, as your version is timeless also.
Dear Mr. Watkinson, for years you have been working on a collection of the best songs in the world on your channel. I'm happy every time you upload a new song. You are authentic and put so much soul into every single song. I am very grateful for that. Please continue and delight us for many years to come with your gentle guitar playing and your wonderful voice. Yours faithfully Marco from Germany
Thank you Mr Frank for performing this version (and the original). This song hits some of us VERY hard, and your versions are truly heartfelt and phenomenal. \m/ -_- \m/
I have always loved this song. I’m getting older and this version hits different. A young man’s broken soul vs a soul that’s seen it all and has the scares to prove it. Life is messy. If you leave this earth clean you didn’t live. 10 out of 10. I’m off to find more of this.
Why am I crying?? 😭 First Johnny and now Frank. Our elders breathing new life into songs we used to rage to is a genre we didn’t know we needed. Hearing these songs we grew up with in a new way so many years on, after we’ve all dealt with hard blows from life is something else entirely. It’s almost cathartic. Thank you for sharing this with us, Frank. It’s beautiful. 🩷
I'm late to the party but glad I found my way here. Such a beautiful and heartfelt rendition of Snuff. Gentlemen obviously has fantastic taste in music. Thanks for the unexpected tears.
What a beautiful interpretation of this song. ❤ Crazy how so many Rock, Metal, Grunge, & the many combinations of any of them, can be reinterpreted to us with simple changes in instrument, arrangement, tone, & delivery. Thank you, Mr Watkinson! 😌
Man this is beautiful, love both the original you posted 4 years ago and this re-recording are beautiful ! Big Johnny cash vibes too! Thank you for this man!
Great job on this one Frank. Your choice vocal voicing suits the song so well. It retains it's darkness while not being overly heavy. The emotion really comes through. Thanks for re-sharing it.
Wow. This video popped up and my first thought was - “Alright… let’s see how this guy tries to cover slipknot” lol.. Don’t judge a book by its cover doesn’t do it justice.. I was fed a heaping spoonful of humble pie. You absolutely killed it man.
Coming from this man you really get the sense he feels these lyrics. He's lived that shit. I'm an aging metal vocalist, 56 now and I still love to perform. Not sure of this man's age but for him to have opened his ears to bands like Slipknot and System and find in them a deep connection is awesome. Speaks to the talent in the genre. Love this man's talent, love his open mind and heart to good music wherever he may find it and... I Love this man's doggie! You can tell he plays often and the pup enjoys it. I have two cats that 100% respond to my singing and music. Beautiful thing all around.
I absolutely love Frank! He has tons of great great songs on here. His originals go beyond the boundaries of heart felt. Once again, my hat's off, Frank ❤
"If you still care DON'T EVER LET ME KNOW" is maybe the hardest line, no matter who delivers it. Corey Taylor's delivery has more the tone of a threat, perhaps. Frank's delivery was more 'begging for mercy.' I felt that line way more personally here.
I've been missing out !! This is so very beautiful. I love your version more than I can say! And I'm in tears 💔 -- Now I need to listen to everything on your channel. Thank you. Much love and respect !!
WOW! This is truly the best version of this song i have heard. I mean that. I came across this video completely randomly at 5:30 am sitting at my table by myself actually struggling quite a bit. Thank you very much sir. Im about to go back and listen to all your songs now. There is no coincidence. Nothing happens by chance. You are amazing! You have a listener in East Texas.
Hadn't heard this for a very long time...I can really feel the song when you sing it. Such a beautiful voice you have. 🤍 You touched my heart. Thank you very much and be blessed. 🤍🙏🏼

Me to his later stuff 👍✌❤🍳
I did too😊
Truely feels like Cash Covering NIN Hurt. AMAZING!!!
More Cohen than Cash, but 1,000,000 percent Frank.
When I see an older gentleman doing a Slipknot cover on acoustic guitar, I subscribe. Great job sir! Very beautiful.

You definitely hit the nail on the head.
It's his cousin Old Cash, he has lots of character and stories in those dollar bills
Spot on. Incredible cover
And to think Trent won't play anymore..
Alot of people forget
Cash died about 3 mths after the video
Literally perfect comment ❤
You did this 4 years ago! This is how most of us found you i think. Love it!
Exactly❤❤❤❤
It's how I did! Love you Frank! Getting married this weekend and your music will be in my heart ❤️
It's how I found Frank!

A palatable version of slipknot for those of us who can’t handle the AHhHHHH RAAaAA
@@dexterlecter7289You could probably handle this song. It's chill for Slipknot

You are the reason I started playing guitar
This is the loudest whisper I’ve ever heard. You’ve touched my soul. Thank you ever so much.
This song already breaks my heart. This breaks it further. Beautiful. 🩷

You would not BELIEVE how hard this goes! If I could add it to one of my playlists, I 1000% would. Keep up the good work, Frank! 🔥🔥

Man it is rare for anything to get through the wall I put up between me and my emotions, but this cover smashed it down like the walls of Jericho.
I cry every time I hear this version. If this doesn’t make you sad and emotional, I’m pretty sure you don’t have a soul!😂

You, good sir, are a treasure! And WHAT a version..yet again you knock it out of the park with Snuff. Let's get this to Corey!!
Love ya Frank! Fear not the naysayers of your abilities, for they do not hold an ounce of your soul. This is a Maggot keepsake. We appreciate you! 🤘🏼
Naysayers, what naysayers? Every comment has been positive as they should be. This man put his heart and soul into his version of Snuff. It’s outstanding!

This was exactly what my soul needed today brother. Thank you for sharing this amazing rendition of this masterpiece. ✌️ 🕊️
This gives me fantastic vibes of Jonny Cash covering “Hurt” by NIN. Great cover!
So glad you re-recorded it! It still sounds as amazing as the one from 4 years ago! ❤🎉
This is what so many don't understand about artists .It always start out as their poetry . It's never just screaming and swearing .
Bravo Frank! Love this song omg memories 🙂 Cute puppers 🦴
"If you still care DON'T EVER LET ME KNOW" is maybe the hardest line, no matter who delivers it.
Corey Taylor's delivery has more the tone of a threat, perhaps. Frank's delivery was more 'begging for mercy.'

Absolutely stunning! I felt every note, every word. Thank you, sir. Looking forward to listening to more.
