The bassist is Pino Palladino, one of the world's most renowned session players. He's played with The Who, Gary Numan, D'Angelo, Paul Young, Elton John, John Mayer, Jeff Beck, Tears for Fears, and many, many others. He's a bass playing god.

[@kikstand2011]

@Ian Norton you might want to grab some headphones and take another listen there bud. 😂 This is on a fretless, and almost all the notes you hear in this song, are pino. If you can grab a fretless, and play even close to this, good on ya. 👍

[@ettoremacca2927]

@Ian Norton u don't play bass,right?

[@RocknRoll420763]

I was wondering who he was... He is an absolute phenom! he's a giant too, makes Trent look like dwarf. 🤣

[@RodneyGurdal]

@Ian Norton LOL. When you become the world's greatest bassist and can transform a lame studio track into something like this, we'd all love to hear it.

[@sachindevaraj]

@Ian Norton are you sure? Pino is one of the best you cant really compare

Wow I have never heard of this rendition before. Definitely had my brain receptors blasting on all cylinders! So mesmerizing in hypnotic.

[@Pogokoala]

Pino Palladino really added SO MUCH to this song. The man is a beast! and makes it work and fits so well, better than the original song. best part is, once you hear it, His bass line stays stuck in your head for awhile. the smallest fill adds so much to this song.

[@praszu]

Essentially this is Sanctified, Closer and Sunspots mega-mix mash-up. It suggests that Trent was inspired by the same pool of feelings and experiences when writing all those three songs. It makes sense if you pay attention to the lyrics.

[@JamieHoughton]

That high pitched vocal part that loops every two bars from 4:16 is from Discipline as well

[@TheJaxVillain]

Adding Lisa and Sharlotte during that tour took his songs to a level I didn't think possible. So dope...

[@sachindevaraj]

he married R&B jazz and Nine Inch Nails in this entire presentation. its genius

Seeing Pino play with NIN in several of these live shows has completely overwhelmed me in how fucking badass he is, that fretless groove i never figured would add such character to this song, but holy hell i dont think anybody else could have delivered it with his taste. But particularly this song, i love this song so much and ive probably played this video like 50 times just in the past week. This song is also sexy lol

[@DigitalMetal]

I can't enough of the bass guitar in this performance. Wish I could find a studio recording of this, but in the rehearsal version's bass is different. At lest this is a decent quality recording.

[@DigitalMetal]

Haha, yeah, thanks Arthur :P

[@RoxieMarquez_marroxeli]

It was shot at Staples Center in HD for the BluRay release that we have yet to see...There was this giant camera on a boom crane over the crowd, it was unreal.

[@aprilfreshL7]

Kris Occhipinti because every time he tours - even on same tour- he hires different musicians depending on the hemisphere of each half of the tour.. hence every song is never played the same twice .. ever

[@jhonnycagexrage7458]

Kris Occhipinti That bass and those electronic arpeggios, mhm so perfect :v

[@RoxieMarquez_marroxeli]

It was recorded in high def intended for a blue ray DVD release. EVERY BIT OF THIS SHOW was high quality top notch. THe man spared no expense on this production. I'm just lucky we were there.

[@dandomattana9900]

This live is something above the perfection.. Everything fits perfectly, the lights, the beats the awesome bass line, trent coming through the stage and dancing, synthetizers, chorus kicks perfectly. One of the best live I ve ever seen. Hope to have the chance to see again NIN for the 3rd time

[@marksimmons7906]

Not just his harmonics and everything else lush he's doing in this song, but oh my gosh that octave slide Pino does around 2:29 is completely delicious.

[@turtlemouth]

To paraphrase an awesome quote - perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. Stripping the song down let that bass player shine.

[@axelmelgarejo9648]

Trent Reznor and his team are simply amazing, Trent is the true genius song writer of all time, his music is just on another level, it's from other dimension, literally. Who else is waiting for the new album first single release this year? Will there be sounds like in the Gone Girl OST? That'd be fantastic and as usual in NIN's work very ahead at it time.

[@SSS.1984]

Like a slow burning candle shining through the darkness which overshadows the entirety of this eerie piece. Blending elements of Techno with more traditional Rock rhythms, "Sanctified" rides a pulsating electrobeat as an elegant bassline latches on to it's energy & matches it beat for beat. Trent Reznor spins a tale of a destructive relationship which climaxes with a chilling segueway into the self destructive "Something I Can Never Have".
