Nine Inch Nails - Now I'm Nothing & Terrible Lie - NIN|JA Tour - 5.27.09 *In 1080p*

[@iximusic]

His vocal performance in Now I'm Nothing gave me goosebumps! He doesn't usually sing like that.

[@skylerwhite3427]

i love your videos! and this always gives me goosebumps too. i listen to it when im feeling down.

[@philwhite1897]

i'm watching this performance for years now repetitive. And i always wish that there would be a studio version like this. But i'm hoping this performance still be online the next 10 years. It always gives me goosebumps.

Imagine going your whole life with out “getting” (understanding to a degree) Nine Inch Nails. A moment of silence for all the people that think “oh yeah Trent is that Closer guy”.

[@franksgreatdecline]

once you get to “the fragile” you’re basically hooked, at least that’s how i got into their entire discography, i even found myself getting really into bad witch for some reason.

[@ideitbawxproductions1880]

It'd be more accurate for them to say "Oh yeah, he's the 'fuck you like an animal' guy"

[@martiekds-ls9872]

His lyrics are so intelligent - so aware of the varieties and vagaries of human suffering (with some joy, too). I feel I’m presently living in a non-joyous set of NON songs the snippets of tne lyrics popping unbidden into my conscious brain … such a balm for my own pain. HE has said (as I imagine you know full well): “music saved my life.”

[@awordabout...3061]

Terrible Lie isn't quite as violent as it was in 1994, but for a man approaching fifty, that was pretty fucking badass.

[@leslieprieto4152]

He’s also not hopped up on drugs and beer like at woodstock

After all the Oscar's, Grammy's, and induction into the RnR hall of fame, Reznor is still one of the most underrated & important humans of my generation. Culturally

[@clementecontreras7944]

so head like a hole can blend into terrible lie

[@LordChrisBerg]

Clemente Contreras lol this comment cracked me up. But yes you’re right

[@bigdog517]

It's more of a Broken/TDS song, afiak no studio version exists

[@Mephiston]

It was written as a lead in for live shows, after the album. Much like pinion did for wish during the broken era. It only exists as a live song, and from live recordings. It was indicative of the turning point of a lot of self loathing and anger that came through in broken and extended to the downward spiral.

[@neilgreene]

I get shivers every time I hear TERRIBLE LIE! Going on 30+ years of shivers now!

[@T3hGumbizo]

Same, I was lucky enough to see him live twice (including the show where he knocked a security guard out). He was was a force of nature on stage. Its sad reading about what happened to him.

[@ev446]

agreed

[@DrScott666]

Lol just posted the same thing about Ilan Rubin! His backing band definitely doesn't get the credit they deserve.

[@chaonatic]

Actually, I was at the last show performed and Trent made it clear that he would indeed continue to create music under the Nine Inch Nails machine, though he would not be touring as NIN from then going forward. That being said, he did follow it up with "But who knows what the future holds..."

[@August090401]

Well hey, now I'm going to see them tour to Detroit in October, so that answers that.

[@therealwilfreddierkes9980]

Yeah...that didn’t last long. Finally got to see them at the Palladium in Hollywood, a few years ago. They were phenomenal.

[@hexum74]

I remember seeing NIN open with this song on the Lollapalooza Tour. Such a raw, emotional, beautiful song! Tho he doesn’t have the same “desperate anger” he had back then, it’s still such an awesome song!!!

I've been looking for it ever since then, now I found it!

[@augustobt.]

man, kudos to whoever filmed this. Great angle and absolutely amazing performance.

[@earthwerm]

Somehow I went from thinking Trent was remarkably unattractive to being so sexually attracted to him that my ovaries feel like bursting at the sight/sound of him. Life is weird.

But I LOVE him.

[@CFKMAN]

Nine Inch Nails should never be allowed to play in the daytime or daylight. It just takes away from the effect lol

[@rustybooker]

Charlie Hustle I was at this concert and you are so very right.

[@destroyourselves]

it was weird, but they did some great songs that i hadn't seen them do the previous 6 times i saw them, so it was definitely worth going.

[@madeinerror]

nope man... its called daydreaming :)

[@matthewturk8660]

That is why he went on club tours after these run of NINJA shows. He didn't like ending NIN in the daylight with them not being the headliner.

[@minusxero]

Well you can't say Trent doesn't have a flair for the dramatic. That entrance was something else, and the wind blowing at that exact moment made it that much more epic.

[@jaymesnin]

Nine Inch Nails will always be my favorite. The NIN machine must go on!

[@jamisbillson4872]

NIN are immense. In a GaryNuman interview he says, with a laugh..."Trent was asked to write a soundtrack for a film. And wins an Oscar!". The guy is on a higher level than anyone I've got into and I am a top musician who picks the music apart. I still say Jerome Dillon is THE NIN drummer. Freese was spot on machine drummer (which oddly didn't suit NIN so well), Ilan Rubin is a fantastic drummer (ambidextrous he told me when I asked because his style is strange) and so I learned how to drum left and right handed and owe him a debt of gratitude for this...it really opens the kit up. But Jerome Dillon is the ’art' that live NIN works best with. I'm a guitarist and synth bod...mainly because of NIN in 1989 at the Astoria in London.

Monsieur Halloween...is that request to me? I could do with a vocalist. I do everything else but didn't win the voice lottery. An irony that the music gods will have to deal with when I see them.

I went down a rabbit hole of videos pertaining to NIN and crossed paths with this one which I knew I had seen before but never put a comment on. I was at this show, maybe six or seven rows back from where I think this was being filmed with a buddy of mine who died a few years ago. This brought back memories of an amazing concert, drinking beer and singing along with Trent that night. Something I hadn't thought about in a long time. Thanks for recording this.

WHAT IF YOU Where The MIC GUY, And As Soon AS TRENT Grabbed The New Mic And STARED To Sing.... No Sound Came OUT! lol What WOULD YOU DO? 2:24

[@rist98]

That can't really happen. Mics get checked before use. Engineers have pretty good capabilities for communication. And there are at least 2 mixing engineers that can actually identify a bad wire before that mic gets up on stage. If for example the wire came out, trent could bash it back on if he wanted to, he knows that shit fairly well. But the engineer could climb up on stage to do it, or bash that other mic up again instead as well. But ye, that just does not happen, unless the engineers all are incompetent. And incompetent people do not get such jobs.
