As I recall Trent Reznor said that himself.about this version. Specifically that while he wrote it, after this rendition it's not his song anymore.
This is a common misquote, Trent never said that Johnny’s was better. He simply said that what he was hearing wasn’t his song anymore.
Basically just expressing how impressed he was that Johnny Cash really made it his own, and didn’t just do a simple cover.
