Nine Inch Nails - Sanctified (VEVO Presents)

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

Between Pino's incredible bass groove, the backup singers, and the lead from Sunspots, this rendition is pretty amazing

[@DavidAndersonKirk]

Yup, the sunspots lead synth. . so awesome for them to tease that in there.

I used to dance to this by myself at 4am in the dark inside my apartment every day. Back in the day... my neighbors upstairs said this song helped their baby sleep well. Wow, thank you for this beat, even today!

[@jus]

I keep coming back to this video. One of my favourite songs. Pino on bass is ridiculous. This almost sounds like a Mick Karn Japan line

[@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

[@ian-online]

@@JamieHoughton texture guys, it's the textureeee 😍😍😍

[@brandonaldaymachuse6669]

NIN definitely reminds me of Madonna...in mind. She always reinterprets her songs live.

[@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.

[@HeinGerber]

Trent took a timeless classic and gave it new life again here. Mind = blown

Pino Palladino re-invented this song.

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

[@brc9257]

100%!!!!!!

[@markipelagogogo]

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.

[@NickSuda]

This arrangement summarizes why I am so incredibly bummed that I missed this tour. This is musically one of the most interesting things Trent has ever done with his back catalog. The whole point of Tension 2013 was like the opposite of the With Teeth tour which I did see. The With Teeth tour was all about "attitude over chops", and Tension 2013 was all about bringing as many established session musicians as possible into both the songwriting process and the tour. The background singers man, the fucking background singers. What a transformation. Pino of course just completely adding a brand new flavor with that choppy fretless lick. It's crazy to think about how Adrian Belew in addition to playing on Hesitation Marks was originally supposed to be the lead guitarist for this tour until he backed out and was replaced by the usual Robin Finck. How badass would it have been to hear his dying animal sounds in the space of a guitar solo? This whole tour was all about musicianship above everything else, he hasn't done anything like this before or since. Such a sick version omg.

[@rizzorizzo2311]

Caught a couple stops on this tour and it was amazing.

[@auberginemachine567]

Going to this concert was the best (and most expensive [and worth it]) bass lesson I ever had. Pino is the best living bass player.

[@Nrgfreq]

Trent is insane. I can't even stand it. Everything he does is so amazing!

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

this is the proof that when you bring a great bass player to a song, everything changes for good

[@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.

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

[@stellacarrier8341]

This magnificent live version of Sanctified (Vevo Presents) by Nine Inch Nails takes me on a fun music trip to music nostalgia lane when I was around 16 or 17 years old and originally discovering the cd version of this song. This live version of Sanctified lights up the original music collection of Sanctified in an exciting and lively way.

[@kriminalrekordz]

Pino Palladino nailed this track. Amazing bass line, on amazing song.

[@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".

[@ziggypop5545]

Pino bass literally lit this song to another level.. Trent dance moves literally kills me 🖤
