Nine Inch Nails - "The Becoming (Still)" 2001 New Orleans, Directed by Rob Sheridan

[@matthewstrong1114]

This has always been my favorite version of this song. So powerful!

[@lordsatan2137]

For sure! All the still versions are my favorite! So damn good

[@nastierpogo]

same here

[@cgroom23]

I remember listening to this probably 13 years ago and being blown away. Now, it only blows me away.

[@Justdustlust]

With these live videos and the album Still, the entire AATCHB is like an epilogue to NIN’s first big chapter. Thank you for posting these.

[@DaedBoi]

Halo 17 will always be my favorite.

[@jarodjohnson1605]

AATCHB was my everyday driving music for many months. Interesting, the thoughts it illicits while driving professionally. I ended up parked, drunknown and opiated many a night. Not professional, but philosophically inspired. I'd write alot. Never amounted to anything that would eventually taint its' importance to me. Still forgot most of it...

[@Paulogy]

To this day, when pressed to say what my favorite NIN song is - it's this. And when pressed to say what my favorite video/performance is? It's this.

[@crotalusatrox7931]

Love the acoustics of the studio.

[@mellendegenerate]

SAME why are more people not saying this haha

[@punker-gamer-trucker-guy]

I remember the rumors circulating around the time after the fragile of an unplugged sort of thing. I imagine that was a hard thing to put together, but i wish there were more of this! Maybe someone could nudge trent and talk him into it now, like a sort of retrospective intimate performance. Theres so much material that would sound great from his entire body of work.

[@thevoid99]

this needs to be on a major blu-ray release. NIN should do a series of video reissues. one for "closure" with the extras from the original 2006 unreleased version plus new ones including documentaries and maybe a classic album series on "the downward spiral". for "and all that could have been", all of the TV specials related for that time, music videos, and a new documentary on that period.

[@NytronX]

Likely shot on digital, which in the 1990s means it's limited to 480p/576p standard definition

[@DrF3L1X]

I'm stuck in this dream

[@inm0710n]

Trent climbed into out minds and illuminated every dark corner and we are better and wiser for it.

[@MichaelZimmerPhD]

This is a near-masterpiece. Thanks so much for sharing it, Rob.

[@kiplingtturner]

I didn’t follow that song very well and I love that album like I’m taking drone lessons now from the professor and that’s still one of the creepiest songs I’ve ever heard

[@atomseyes]

I can’t believe how closely this performance mirrors what Tori Amos was doing at the same time in 2001

[@WHR17]

Fucking brilliant, Still has always been one of my favorite releases. This version of the becoming is amazing!!!

[@lorcansavage1550]

I feel like Trent’s throwing an angry look to someone playing an imperfect note on the first ‘me that you know’ round

[@William77863]

This version of this song is up there with Over the hills and far away and The End for me. Perhaps one of the greatest songs ever recorded by anyone ever

[@austindurham5736]

This. This is what a masterpiece sounds like

[@awtriphop]

I could be hours about how NiN and trent make such a cool and great sound but just watching and listen how they do it acoustic is fascinating thank yo Rob

[@cliftonseigerman8073]

To be the fly on the wall in this room, I want to experience Trent like this, so raw, one of my favorite albums, and the song, I’ve always loved this song! 🙇🙇🙇

[@xyzero1682]

Thanks for putting this back online, great quality!

[@5kN9]

wow I never realized how massive those candles behind Trent were

[@ronjon7942]

Ohhh. Wow. His voice always resonates well with my biology. Somehow it passes through my ears in way that I could pick it out in a noisy place with a lot of people talking. And I can feel his voice in my bones and chest. Kinda like these two female opera singers, a Russian and an Italian, when they perform The Flower Duet. Beautifully haunting. It won’t give up It wants me dead ‘N’ goddamn this noise inside my head

[@peace85587]

searching for this version for so long thank you for uploading it after 20 years

[@aboutthisproduct7674]

whoa I never saw this!

[@magisternoctis]

Once again, thanks for the remembrances you’re providing! I saw lately that Trent is going on hiatus. That’s quite understandable, I still remember the premiere of his very first video on MTV way back in 1988, when I was still 16 years old, called ‘head like a hole’. I couldn’t wait to buy the full album Pretty Hate Machine afterwards in a local record store. ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@iKevinF]

I really enjoyed that, wow.

[@Amathene]

Rob, really appreciate you releasing these CLASSICS vids!

[@rossddx]

Awesome song version, great performance by all the three musicians.

[@silentsiren72]

This is really happening to me. I'm turning cyborg!

[@ewdenver1]

What a loss to us music lovers… Now it’s what it’s feel like’s… Trent

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

Stand back... God's at work. Ooooft

[@spiritwalker8504]

I’ve had a demon haunting me since I was 7 and this represents it perfectly. I’m 29 now

[@CRASS2047]

I’ve always wondered what Travis Barker would look like without tattoos. Now I know

[@rainbowrotcod]

goes absolutely crazy at 1.25x speed

[@vectorcuenta8760]

Intentarán creer que intentas esconder algo duro para hacerte sentirte más expuesto. Y es que un sosegado y un sujeto emocionalmente débil y con problemas sociales para entender moralejas, no importa cuán débil sea, siempre estará desesperado de eliminarte... no es tu trabajo hacer que lo decifren o que decidan entenderlo de todo modos por ti. Quieren involucrarse en tu situación y contagiar el mismo sentimiento de vulnerabilidad en ti.

[@crotalusatrox7931]

Well spoken.

[@Ozone814]

Pre-Katrina New Orleans was so amazing. Its a dead zone now

[@tacticalcenter8658]

I wonder if they have anything on Trent like they do on all the other musicians and movie stars. Those who own everything. He's part of the system or he's not?

[@ginajames4564]

how completely irrelevant. Give the wifi password back to your carer and please stay off the internet, its bad for people like you.

[@JaneDoe-zc2zn]

Satan beat the machine, became god and God, was consequently god and God all along, and is always making music as Doctor Michael "Trent" Reznor of Nine Inch Nails... And his other bands and musical stuff. Satan is announcing that Satan became god and God with this song. And, something about a little orphan Annie? Trent's brother...? Me? Half?

[@JaneDoe-zc2zn]

Am I Satan, Trent? Can't escape a god. Am I the other lyricist? Sounds possessed.

[@JaneDoe-zc2zn]

The entire song can be interpreted from the perspective of Satan possessing Trent, and saying...? A lot. All of it. To Trent and to others.

[@JaneDoe-zc2zn]

Satan refuses for there to be any other members of Nine Inch Nails. Just Satan and Trent. Blood brothers.

[@JaneDoe-zc2zn]

It is MY machine. Because it is me.

[@JaneDoe-zc2zn]

Broken, All, That wants me dead. And, God, Dam/Damn this noise inside my head.

когда то кай метов играл индастриал!

[@user-hm7pq7oc1j]

This isn't from 2001

[@chrisnunley114]

Yeah it is.

[@bigguy1164]

Recorded in 2001 Released in January 2002

[@CharlesWhipple-x3n]

Could do without the overbearing drum beat. Rather hear Grant's bass line.
