Nine Inch Nails- Twist (Ringfinger)

Track 8 off of Halo 0-Purest Feeling. I do not own the copyright to this material. No copyright infringement intended on my part. Enjoy!

[@Sindollx666x]

I always loved this version dubbed Twist. Actually both Twist & Ringfinger have their own magic qualities that I love for different reasons. The version of this I have on tape/ipod has Trent doing a bit of speaking at the very end of the track.

These lyrics are so about pegging.

[@Nin13666]

Lol shit now I can't unhear it.

[@leegsy]

This version talks about going deeper, wearing chains, making "it" hurt and how he loves the pain. It's about Trent and his boyfriend fucking.

[@gunguy-ru5jo]

@@leegsy Trent never had a boyfriend

[@leegsy]

@@gunguy-ru5jo How do you know that? Maybe Trent just didn't announce it to the world.

[@SLI1337]

Interesting usage of A Clockwork Orange screaming samples.

[@sandystar3890]

Best version

[@abbysapples1225]

I am glad you came from Pennsylvanian. Thank you michael trent reznor, I mean Trent Reznor. But 4 real, I never head this version and I enjoy the rawness of it.

[@penenadpi]

Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet meet INXS within an entirely original piece. This guy is genius no doubt

[@FWDSUXARSE]

Best version of this song, first heard it back in 1997.

[@eviscero]

Same. It was a cd called rusted nails iirc

[@FWDSUXARSE]

@@eviscero Sounds about right, great Bootleg.

[@FWDSUXARSE]

Might be Rusty Nails if my memory serves me correctly but damn close enough.

He sounds so young and small on this version. Still, I like "Ringfinger" better.

[@mindlessself420]

love ringfinger and when i heard this loved this more than ringfinger, they are both basically the same the lyrics differ from ringfinger

[@ARPWIRE]

Anyone know if there's an instrumental version of this demo without vocals?

[@aldude999]

There isn't, we're lucky to even have this, and probably only have it because he brought the master tapes to London to work with John Fryer.

[@jolieupshaw9477]

What are they saying in the beginning?

[@MindlessSelfGuitar]

I don't see the difference. Twist is about a woman hurting a man and ringfinger is about marriage.

[@taffysaur]

lol always said pretty hate machine teh ultimate break-up record.

[@LizardCane]

Arent they the same thing?

[@Sindollx666x]

In the late 90s I actually had to get rid of my copy of Pretty Hate Machine after the love of my life broke my heart, it wasn't helping with the thoughts of ending my life. Really it was "Something I've can never have" specifically that was making me go further down the spiral...haha see what I did there? Lol. I got a new copy a few years later again. I even have it on vinyl too. Such an incredible album, especially for 1989! I still listen to it as much as I did back in the 90s. Ironically me and that love got back together numerous times. We even have been together recently. Off and on for about 26 years now, we love each other very much and have basically both come to terms that that will never change. We're always gonna be a part of each other's life. He was my first love, and probably the only true one.

[@Angel-yi6pi]

Actually twist is not about a relationship between a boy and a girl at all. Trent is very openly bisexual and this song is about a relationship between 2 boys. If you have the version with him talking at the end it is even more obvious although I can’t believe anyone can miss the barley veiled references in this song

[@aldude999]

@@Angel-yi6pi "very openly bisexual" is overstating it quite a bit don't you think? Don't take PHM too seriously, he's said in multiple interviews that he never really connected with the meaning and lyrics, unlike his other albums.

[@Kshine1024]

Uh, yeah. Even better than Ringfinger.

[@Krystallen]

Mr Reznor produced music close to a "world wonder". i cant even place the Genra. N!N gene sounds more accurate. He pretty much creates unique art. I say put the guy back on drugs! So he can do some amazing things again! Everything post 2000 have been good! But nothing he did lately have even come close to Pretty Hate machine or the Closer Album. His music is about powerful feelings. Pains of drugs, human nature and girls hurting you to the extent of torture when you fall for her. Oh....and he made lots of cool pure party tunes! ;-p

[@ladyc8099]

Krystallen Mr. Reznor is now happy with a family. So he deserves his happiness don't you think? As an nin fan I will say his music is still just "awesome" as always. To say he should be on drugs...really?? You like his early music ok that's fine. Some don't like his music as of today. But to me and all nin fans Mr. Reznor is going strong. He is a legend in his own time. Yes I said that. Just my opinion.

[@tenplauges]

Your comment is worded like youve been fucking with some pretty good drugs....and there is no "closer" album fuckhead. Closer is a single off of The Downward Spiral. Are you a troll?

[@natejohnson247]

Why are you correcting him on a stupid album name idiot. You should be correcting him on the fact that he would rather have people destroy themselves on drugs just so he can have music for himself. Selfish piece of shit. Oh it benefits me so i would rather it hurt him! As long as it helps me i dont care at all! Most people are pieces of literal shit coming out of the asshole of hitler after he ate two bowls of corn and ten jewish children, and then ate a milkshake and mixed it all up during a workout and when home, took a shower, and went to sleep, let the shit churn in his intestines and get old and rotten, and then after the shit being so much to handle, and trying to get out, he closes his legs together to force it to stay in and drips liquid down his legs, then finally dumps the old shit, and then pisses on it. AND DOESNT EVER FLUSH.

[@excs4619]

There was the Closer To God single that was almost an hour long
