Made even better by Trent's aggression and screams he's able to reinfuse into something that was released about a decade ago.

Bring my girlfriend to a NIN show last year, front row. She was a little bit afraid of the crowd. i told her "y'know, NIN is now in a more quiet felling, slow songs, more electronic, don't worry"....then...this song started ! This is the last time i saw her :-).

Truly one of those cases where the art (collectively seen) speaks so much for itself, and in such terms, that its indescribable almost, with anything but notions of uncanny genius, *godliness*, or the art itself. Its a rare kind of genius to behold!

Something about the heaviness of Trent Reznor and Robin Finck in this performance gives me goosebumps every time I watch this video. Correction, everyone that's performing this song has such raw intensity it makes me even more excited to see them this year.

[@rhylsaldar]

Introdused to NIN by a neibourghood friend when i was 14 with the DS in 1996 and directly linked up. I did not speak a lot of english at this time (french) but the noise and the energy fed something in me, I never know other NIN fans around me but I always listen. Now i'm almost 40 wife and a kid and NIN is in the Hall of Fame...

[@38bladerunner]

This is extremely powerful still in the year 2020, yes!!! Can't wait to see NIN again 😫😆😃

[@frogwitch4329]

i’m so fucking excited to see NIN at red rocks in september. this song in particular has gotten me through a tremendous amount. i can’t wait to let out so much pent up anger and frustration. this was a sick performance. trent could punch me in the fucking face and i’d thank him.

[@KevinCanada87]

I've seen NIN a number of times live in concert and had the pleasure of meeting Trent in Toronto during one of his stops. I'd have to say that if there was one thing that stands out not just in his music, but also as a person is that he's genuine. His live performances sound like the NIN cds (In a good way; not lip syncing or using computers to change his voice like pop stars) and after talking to him you realize just how down to earth he is. A good man and an amazing musician!

[@StevenHoeg]

so sick. never get sick of this video. Everything Rob shoots turns into gold

[@mathewhair4615]

This idea to have the cameraman on stage is genius. This is the closest thing I've felt to actually being there. This beats the shit out of a wide-angle shot of the entire stage, zooming in on particular band members. This gives it intensity.

[@joj8300]

So impressed with all you do Tried so hard to be like you Flew too high and burnt the wing Lost my faith in everything Lick around divine debris Taste the wealth of hate in me Shedding skin, succumb defeat This machine is obsolete Made the choice to go away Drink the fountain of decay Tear a hole exquisite red Fuck the rest and stab it dead Broken, bruised, forgotten sore Too fucked up to care anymore Poisoned to my rotten core Too fucked up to care anymore Broken, bruised, forgotten sore Too fucked up to care anymore Poisoned to my rotten core Too fucked up to care anymore In the back off the side far away Is a place where I hide, where I stay Tried to say, tried to ask I needed to All alone by myself, where were you? How could I ever think it's funny how? Everything that swore it wouldn't change, is different now Just like you would always say, "We'll make it through" Then my head fell apart and where were you? How could I ever think it's funny how? Everything you swore would never change, is different now Like you said, "You and me make it through" Didn't quite fell apart, where the fuck were you?

Best live version of this. I actually prefer the normal song though because the normal one sounds angrier.

[@DemonKnight85]

I've seen NIN live maybe 4 or 5 times. They are easily one of my top favorite bands. Tool may inch them out a little bit, but there is no doubt in my mind that Trent and company put on the best live shows I've ever seen. And this performance right here easily ranks among his best live performances. Right up there with the Fragile MTV music awards performance. This guy just has crazy energy!!

[@VanPerszing]

Make a genious record, perform it live even better.

[@vexbotz]

yiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkeeesss.. how did i just find this? whoa baby, this hits.

[@lordofsquad]

I love these onstage videos, really lets you get a better glimpse at Ilan. Insane drummer, wish I had his talent.

[@TTSetters]

NiN is the only band where the LIVE performance is always better than the album. Maybe that's due to the mechanical nature of performances in studio vs live. Also, NiN albums, are all good - my only gripe is the new Hesitation marks. It's good, but different. I grew up with Pretty Hate Machine in high school and have been listening to them since then.

[@jacobneylon647]

NIN live is incredible, but another band that is better live than on the album is Shinedown. FANTASTIC performance

[@oldwestdemons]

finally, i think in the same way

[@ig38428]

I wouldn't say always better, but it's definitely always different. I like that about Trent. He remixes his music to suit the live performances. I really like Hesitation Marks. It's more electronic/pop, less dark, but still very enjoyable. The Fragile will always be my favorite, though.

[@oldwestdemons]

Maryqueen Maandig = Yoko Ono, still good music from a good frontman with a little of her wife.

[@pigebear]

finally a video that captures the energy at a NIN show

[@665don667]

Definitely NIN's best, critics may not have thought so, but I think most NIN fans can agree--The Fragile was Trent's magnum opus. And this performance, the song is over 10 years old but here it sounds so fresh and new...People may say TDS days were the golden years...but I really think this tour & lights in the sky are NIN at the top of their game, especially this tour, reminds me of the early Pretty Hate Machine days with it's stripped down rawness.

[@hamidrezanikoofar]

Nuclear Bomb < Trent saying "where the fuck where you"

[@Mantooth901]

Most deep lyrics every to come out of a persons mouth. It moves me every single time, but yet in a different way than beautiful lyrics do. It's hard to describe but only Trent can do it to me.

Every time I watch this (I am probably responsible for half the views on this) I get goosebumps!!

[@lifter37]

The more of the live videos I watch (mostly put on by ninofficial), the more I see Trent evolve. Live performances have been tweeked and give such a different emotional energy. I very much enjoy listining to the changed music as I exercise! Such clean quality sound too!

[@PudgeDredd]

The most underrated of all the many underrated Nine Inch Nails songs. Maybe the best NIN song period.

I was referring to the people who drone on endlessly with "New NIN sucks, Trent make another Downward Spiral/Fragile", saying he's too old now, not the same energy/voice/performance as before. He's been screaming into that microphone for over 20 years now at countless shows, I think he sounds pretty damn good considering that!

NIN, like fine wine, just gets better over time.... now 55, this song didn't resonate with me in the 2000's, now, it's one of my favorites, and has me thinking how did I not love it from the outset... Amazes me how Trent's music can rotate in your mind like that, a different favorite every six months or so, as you hear things that you didn't necessarily hear before.... best ever in my opinion..........
