Beautiful and elegant music all the way!

[@hlljhn3508]

Just Epic!

[@gctones]

You Know? I was never asked if i wanted this. A life, a smile on my face, and tear down the drain, and sunny sky, or a friend that walks by. I never asked for anything. I just wondered why, i never asked for a better life, i never asked for a wonderful life. All I ever did was ask, all my life, I never did, all I did was ask.

Is this from something? It’s beautiful

[@BatemanNYC]

Amazing!!!

[@wesleyreynolds7546]

The last of the greats.

[@giantfisher]

Trent/ NIN is my go-to listening. He's not the "last great", though. --GOOD-- Music is as perpetual as energy. It never dies. Some "music" is dirty like energy sources and should be done away with (coal/Miley Virus/ Nuclear/ R&B/Country)... Others renew in more pure forms.

[@h4724-q6j]

@@giantfisher Ironic. Trent has won a country music award and has worked with Miley Cyrus.

Sick!!!!!

[@BjavaBluesStop]

Thanks much Beadbop, owe you a coffee now:-)

[@bryanlagalo]

I am curious why 5 people did not like this. They didn't like these live versions, or don't like NIN in general?

[@beadbop]

Bryan, it's been my experience throughout life that -- no matter the topic of discussion -- there are always a certain percentage of idiots in the room... Usually, at least one-third of the people (e.g. Trump supporters). Thus, 5 downvotes out of nearly 20K views is actually a relatively low idiot ratio. Thank you for not being one of them! :)

[@estudos6156]

@@beadbop i agree, also imagine being a NiN fan and a dumb trump suporter, the level of cognitive dissonance of some people is crazy

[@theechothief5594]

@@beadbop That's pretty egomaniacal to claim yourself and someone else as the elite, smarter, more cultured, and whatever the Hell else you think you are. The fool dictates who he/she believes is lesser than, because they have have little control over their life. By self-electing yourself as a part of the non-idiot crowd, you're simultaneously electing yourself as the insecure fella in the room.

[@EvilSurroundsUs]

No worries. Thanks to Biden & the White House channels getting their ass*s kicked by having so many people down vote the videos of Biden's speeches, thumbs down votes are no longer a thing.

[@NvikIngsN]

What if we could? Why have I never heard of that til now??

Thanks. I am familiar with The Social Network soundtrack. Now I need to get The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo!

[@ttamsti]

anyone know what rubin plays at the beginning of the way out is through? that goofy lil brick thingy

[@beadbop]

It's a percussive scraper instrument called a sand block. The one that Ilan Rubin is using looks like it was homemade.

[@ttamsti]

@@beadbop thanks I appreciate that

[@nepntzerZer]

ah the chunky trent era

[@SlyProfits]

Someone please tell me how he gets that on the guitar

[@Gog-rb7te]

a lot of Fx

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

is that ilan rubin playing *the brick*?

[@beadbop]

It is indeed Mr. Rubin, so add another brick to Ilan's multi-instrumental wall!

[@theechothief5594]

Is trent off key at the end of 'Through?' I could be totally wrong, but he sounds sharp and off key, which isn't like Trent. He knows his way around musical theory and the technicals of music. The only time (no pun intended), I've ever heard him say he has trouble with key, pitch etc is when he performs 'All The Love in the World." He's stated a few times (or maybe just once) that he has trouble finding the correct key on that one.

[@beadbop]

I'd have to see the sheet music to be sure, but after comparing this to the studio version, it sounds to me like Trent and Robin's voices combine to make those "Through" notes a wee bit sharp. You're a sharp listener! (pun totally intended)

[@theechothief5594]

@@beadbop Ah, good call! I’ve always liked what Robin brings vocally. The Way Out is Through is just such a crescendo of T-Rez goosebump galore. Doesn’t get better.

[@AlexPalumboG]

Trent's a little off hear and Robin is A L W A Y S a little sharp

[@Enozzit]

There's an instrument that Ilan Rubin can't play?

[@Spiral0ut87]

Any idea what instrument he is playing at the start of 'The way out is through' '?

[@e.p.4343]

Sreenadh S I don’t play any instruments, so it may be an instrument for all I know, so take this with a grain of salt. I honestly don’t think that is an instrument he is playing. I think it is a 2x4 piece of wood and a file tool.
