ohGr - cracker

I had Nothing to do with the creation of this video or song and I am only posting it as a fan.
cracker by ohGr

[@szenmaeythe7924]

I like that I listened to this as a teenager, now as a full grown man child, I actually feel it.

[@jamesmcrae9360]

If anyone actually took the time to fully listen to or read all the lyrics to this song, and not just watch and pay attention to the video and nothing else, it's fairly obvious it isn't about Manson, Reznor, Eminem, and dissing them for whatever reason people would like to imagine, It's about Ogre acknowledging certain feelings of bitterness, resentment, and jealousy for not being more popular and having as much notoriety and fame as these other artists in Industrial music, despite being one of the main artists responsible for developing and popularizing the genre, and rightfully so, to an extent, and thinking about miming or aping their style to gain more popularity, being frustrated that he can't understand these artists, their music, and/or why it is so popular or how to be popular like them, expressed in the lyrics, "Feeling blind to all important scenes", then, despite these feelings, ultimately realizing he shouldn't care about such things and should "give it up," because "it's unoriginal," to try and copy other artists' style, as the song puts it, and should ignore these thoughts and focus on staying true to his own artistry. I mean, everybody knows about how Trent straight up just admitted he ripped off "Dig It" for "Down In It", If anyone has the right to feel that way, it's him. I mean, how would you feel if someone admitted to straight up lifting your work when you helped develop and flesh out and establish a genre more and getting more popular then you? Wouldn't any normal person feel at least the slightest hint of resentment? Can you blame him? And despite that, Ogre still acknowledges these feelings are wrong in the lyrics and he shouldn't care and just focus on doing his own thing. So ultimately this song is Ogre introspecting more than anything else and it sounds to me like he isn't being critical towards other artists for selling out to appease a broader mainstream audience as many people might be led to believe as much as he is criticizing himself for even thinking about doing just that, hence the lyric, "Still sucking life from the mainstream?" Ogre realizes that he "thinks he's evil" for thinking about ripping off these artists, "but you're not," but he's not, realizing it's okay to feel that way as long as you don't dwell on these feelings to much and sell out and move on and continue upon your own personal artistic venture. Lecture/rant over. Now could we all just move on and enjoy the music with proper context?

[@princessstomper8068]

In fairness, Trent was always respectful towards Puppy and gave credit where due. I got into NIN first, then checked out SP because Trent namechecked them.

[@replicant1988]

I met him after a show, and he said something to me that I will never forget. Listening to this years later, I finally understand what he said when he spoke. And you're dead on... I listen to other artists, but Ogre and cKey created the medium.

[@replicant1988]

​@Princess Stomper Yes and no. SP and NIN have had some issues... early NIN Trent WAS respectful, but by Downward/Fragile era, kinda shit on SP... even though they had done work together.

[@jhcinco]

You are a man with knowledge..

[@colinrussell2017]

​@@replicant1988 Reznor was trying to distance himself from the comparisons during that peak it seems. It was like he was "Can I just have my moment for fucks sake?" Creating masterpieces like Downward spiral and the Fragile and having them be commercial and critical successes is no small feat (many REAL forgettable knockoffs and imitators would follow) NIN stood tall on its own merits by then. The comparisons were lazy at that point Reznor has come full circle (time and maturity will do that) and whole heartedly cites Puppy as influencial in recent interviews

[@blinkth3dog]

Another moment documents the fleeting magic of what could have been. God that line always it's so clos to home. It's perfectly written

[@GothicNostalgia]

This song never gets old.

[@havemercy4345]

True dat.

[@elijahmashter9587]

I still like it my I'm Young and dumb

[@donotseemecricket]

the people that complain or praise one or the other artist have to realise that this video isnt supposed to be a serious 'shit talk' or 'naysay' about NIN or EMINEM. ogre and trent are both cool guys and played together in pigface, hes mostly poking fun at the artists here (he even said himself in an interview) much like how eminem rips on other artists in his own songs. its not to be taken to heart. its a good and catchy song, and is a sweet video. its musical, artistic. and its very much ohGr.

[@tv44-alternative23]

It's all about shit talking about mainstream media, God I hate mainstream media

[@jimhamsnow6950]

Pigface has like 300 members. There was a joke that "everyone is in pigface". I doubt ogre and trent worked that close on anything.

[@KaMui_AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs]

@@jimhamsnow6950 They actually did! NINs "Suck" was a Trent and Ogre production and they performed the early pigface version live together. There you go - both together in '91: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIamZH-CbdqIfLM

[@ericg349]

I saw ohGr open for KMFDM in a small club during KMFDM’s Hell Yeah Tour it was awesome

[@Chef_Alpo]

Same here, Brighton Music Hall in Allston Ma. Little venue, mostly standing area, great to be so close to the stage. Sticky floors.

[@rodolfosantana9015]

Yep san diego ca . They got to do another tour together

[@rainbowrotcod]

This comments section hurts my head. If you hate the music, go somewhere else. And, just to clarify, Ogre and Trent don't have any real "beef" with one another. They're moreso friends, and have even collaborated together in Pigface. This song is just a goofy poke.

[@TheProphet6661]

Is there anything like Ohgr? Honestly, I just love the fact that theyre just insanely wierd as well as their music. But you cant expect anything less from the frontman of skinny puppy, their both awesome as hell.

[@octoberseven]

I once saw an interview with Ogre and William Morrison (who played guitar in OhGr as well as did the video for the song). They said that the video wasn't a dig on Trent, but rather basically just poking a little fun at a friend.

[@biggbobsxboxshit]

ive been looking for this song for at least 7 years!!!!

[@masterseal0418]

I just love the stopmotion in this music video. Gives it a lot of charm.

[@Ronzert]

crazy that this is 20 years old now

[@LukeTSManager]

Older if you consider how long it took for ohGr to put out this album. It was being made when Descent 2 on PC came out.

[@NorthEastEmo]

Truly

[@psychonautxiii]

This whole album is amazing. My favorite SP side project for sure. Thanks for the inspiration and getting me in the music business!

[@lestermagoo]

All props to Oghr, but there's no way his solo projects are better than Tear Garden. Pshaw!

[@SpookySims]

@@lestermagoo The Tear Garden is good, as well as The Legendary Pink Dots which are arguably better than the Tear Garden. Either way, it’s all preference really. I enjoy Skinny Puppy, Pink Dots, Tear Garden, and ohGr all similarly. They’re all amazing in my mind and perfect for whatever mood I might be in :))

[@WELTERWillClineYah99]

This is song is the enjoyable side of nature.

[@scottrodriguez8284]

Great trolling by Ohgr

[@CelestialSwann]

The gritty point of no return in someones life. Track is both godly and ungodly.

[@TheJinjo75]

You are right. All this drama is mostly created by the fans. Trent has always been clear about who are the originators. Just like the Clash in the punk era he made it popular. And this coming from not that big a fan of NIN.

[@JayLeePoe]

I'm glad this still slaps

[@theultrahvybeat]

Exactly! Trent never chose to be mainstream. his music just played on radio. When was the last time you heard Skinny Puppy or Ohgr on the radio? They're all amazing artists and if Skinny Puppy OR Ohgr got more air time radio wise they'd have a much larger following. They've all done a LOT for industrial and they are all enjoyable. Remember people, this video was done in jest to begin with ;-)

[@Koyakku]

liking more than one band at once is hard it's hard and nobody understands

[@AmberOfB0rg]

I know! Pore has always been one of my favs, though the entire Welt album was pretty damn awesome. I think it's pretty neat that bands still cover Kraftwerk, even if it is just the one song. ;)

[@Blatherskitz]

He took influence from the various forms of foetus,fad gadget et al. too.. I'm still waiting for the new Chemlab to hit.

[@4220220]

i'm sad, that's the whole NIN thing, and it's still like loving something, and the most popular thing that people know is a bastardization of what you love

kind of cute, kind of creepy, kind of relevant

[@seanjohnson6352]

I'm commenting from the future...it's 2023 on my time-line, I know your all excited about the new century and look forward to a new progressive amerika...I'm sorry to tell you that your currently living the best life you will ever know. Slow things down and soak it all up cuz this is as good as it will NEVER be again. Oh.. also Skinny Puppy did a reunion tour that started in 2013 and ends this year now that's commitment!

[@iamavoidtrippergutterslush666]

✔️💯 :')🤘

[@sshatchell]

I'm envious of anyone closer to the music I enjoy. I'm blown away that there are germans that only know of one industrial band. Like Ramstein and nothing else. It's funny how much Ohger loves the germans, and Nina Hagen loves americans!

[@OrbitZombie]

Ohgr didn't even know the NIN and Eminem shit was even in this video. It was a "surprise" by the animator. If anything Ohgr gets frustrated sometimes. He says that Reznor is 2 steps ahead of him musically. And the "March of the Pigs" in the video represents Ohgr being trampled by Trents success. And NIN is Independent now you know that right?

[@eatyourcereal4134]

Yeah

[@jasonmefistopheles3431]

@@bennybigiron8471 stop crying... Nin and skinny are awesome... And this thing to talk bad to another artist is so inmature....

[@allpowersrise]

trent said himself that his song "down in it" was completely inspired by skinny pup's "dig it"

[@jackb348]

Pretty Hate Machine should have been titled Pretty Blatant Skinny Puppy Rip Off.

[@kicksex]

thats down in it. to be fair william morrison put all the trent and eminem characters as a surprise and didnt originally tell ogre about them...

[@VirtualSting]

This is such a catchy song. I love it.

[@dustinprewitt]

We didn't listen to Ohgr, and now trent is working for Hollywood and Di$ney.

[@spadehatesscrewtube]

Sorry if that sounded harsh. There was an excellent german art piece with stop motion photography, it directly inspired this type of video .. It was very similar to the tool video with the moving meat through the water pipes.

[@jankk]

Jan Svankmajer maybe? Not German but Czech, has some majorly creepy (and amazingly awesome) stop motion shorts & movies, some are here on KZbin. The Brothers Quay, who created the videos for Tool, have cited him as an influence and even named a film after him.

[@thomasbertelsen4486]

I followed them since the mid 80's and thought this was the best anyone of them did outside of Skinny Puppy, even the new stuff is not that good. BRAP on!

[@ICANHASGREATMUSIC]

[@Seth6581]

remember folks,if it wernt for this guy there probably be no NIN.

[@antivert]

Another thing.. under the Process logo in the beginning of the video, it says ""Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate", or, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."

IF, in fact, it is to Trent: I find it funny, cos back on the PHM tour, there was this one girl I know who he was really nice to---and not a nasty person at all.

[@congrumarons]

This is a great video, I love the visual style.

[@hiddenlawyer]

Wouldn't it be cool if Reznor stopped sucking and made an album worth listening to again?

[@MutleeIsTheAntiGod]

This is strangely awesome to listen to when you are pissed off at plastic people in your life.

[@XenoBoT]

Ohgr/Dave stated in an interview that the part with Trent was not originally suppose to be offensive. Though Trent really did sell out I think order of symbolic appearance are as follows: I think the lightbulb is suppose to be garbage. The fortune teller, Insane Clown Possse Trent,NiN And his march of pigs overwhelming Ohgr Eminem And lastly Ohgr himself reminiscent of his SP days Parody; Music Industry, Living up to, and binded to your past accomplishments. Video touches my heart

[@SightblinderX]

Man... this is good shit. KZbin needs more!

[@Zomb13T3k]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think ohGr and Trent did a track together in Pigface.

[@apheks242]

Yes that is one thing I will say you are right. I really don't think ohgr would that type of person. I have meet ohgr twice, and he was really cool. I don't think he would really do something like that. Mr. key on the other hand, who I am a huge fan of was very rude. But what can you say he is one of the best despite how he acts to a fan.

[@Mlotshaw1]

Love this a good example of Jungs theory of the manifestation/projection/ and transmutation/ and Assimilation of the shadow within the human psyche. The Process had some good theories to work from As it is...so shall it be.

Ive heard ogre often talked to fans who were suicidal. This song seems like a compilation of what he told people to not kill themselves. He should get an award or something for all the people he probably saved.

[@module8]

this is some fresh tunage here. i like it

[@morbidlyxyours]

Um... for everyone who doesn't know the history/who Skinny Puppy is, the reason Trent Reznor is in this, isn't because he failed musically or anything, it's because he royally ripped off one of Skinny Puppy's song (Nivek Ogre AKA ohGr)

[@ninmachine109]

I understand some of the animosity he may hold for certain artists in this, especially Manson. Reznor is a god himself tho. To say NIN is a ripoff of SP is insane. Every NIN album is completely different. i always thought it was hilarious at the fact some of his music videos were to obscene to air. besides SP is fucking awesome, the whole cult aspect is what makes them for me. i heard they even toured together once.......i'd shit and die

[@joopezixzixzix]

+ninmachine109 NIN's later albums definitely show a creative bankruptcy (although he seems to be heading in a better direction now through film work), and trent to some degree undeniably sold out the counter-culture that made him for the mainstream.

[@ReisterJP]

hahahah "Reznor is a God" the God of douchebags and posers maybe.

[@TheJinjo75]

"Every NIN album is completely different." Yes he still keeps ripping artist left and right

[@plum-locorecords8108]

How is he ripping off artists left and right?

[@leescuderi8331]

Such as who? That's a bullshit statement without anything backing it up. Typical...and I'm a huge Puppy fan ....much more than Nails. I really don't like NIN that much but I have never seen the comparison. Why? Because they used distorted synths and drum machines to construct music with? Nails seemed closer to Depeche Mode to me with more of a "pop" structure. Easily sung verses and choruses. Puppy was much more abstract and there were plenty of dark industrial acts at that time that you could say NIN were more influenced by. I could see his first few albums had these influences but his more recent material definitely has its own stamp. I really don't see who he is blatantly ripping off these days. We all have influences but they are way less obvious now apparently.

[@FuneralDivine]

catchy!... like Trent & Eminem too, dont care about the mainstream level. As theultrahvybeat says, "Trent never chose to be mainstream."

[@decaymon]

The truth is not always such an easy pill to swallow.

[@sshatchell]

Ohgr is the industrial pioneer. We may admire the germans for Die Krups and Ramstein, but they admire us for Ohgr and Skinny Puppy.

[@ChristopherKnapp711]

Nothing to admire with Krupps and Ramstein, really. And i am german lol.

I love skinny puppy but this is best Coimpilation EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for everybody

[@anamethat]

um...the fragile can bearly even be considered rock, and nine inch nails has always had a rock element about them anyway, so while it is a little bit rock, it's primarily industrial.

[@Mlotshaw1]

The symbol for the Process Church of the final judgment on the out side of the building ,With Puppy he made a whole themed album based upon its principal's primary of which for the Process is the unification of Christ and Satan as well as Jehovah and Lucifer as one being and I believe within ones self the use of deity names being used for many reasons including religious, philosophical, and psychological and meant to relate to the nature of the universe and mans own internal nature.

Biorobot: yes, that is the emblem for the Process Church.

[@OrbitZombie]

The downward spiral and Pretty Hate machine are Trents most mainstream albums...hes gotten more money from those albums than ANY of his newer ones.

[@AmberOfB0rg]

Maybe he pushed that sound to its limits at the time, but even if he did (and I'm a fan of both NIN and N.Ogre) with the constant progression of music in all aspects there should certainly be room for yet newer sounds. Once we say there's nothing more to be done, nothing more can be done -- we've defeated ourselves.

OHGR is exactly what I'd expect from ohgr. epitomizes vocally and musically to a lesser extent what the frontman would exhibit. No taking away from ohgr musically but with defference to the other members, ck dr (rip) and even the new crew, SP rules. Nuff said!

[@SpunkDaddy]

hahaha, funniest thing I've seen in a while. A little soldier guy(ogre) kills everything, then lets reznor walk all over him with his pigs...then gets shat on, starts to like rap, then realizes it sucks, so he kills more people, then he sees what he used to be, kills that too, his leg falls of, and he dies... hahahaha

Entirely you opinion. And I was not saying ANY of those groups you've mentioned sold out. I like Sister Machine Gun,Throbbing Gristle,Ministry,NIN,Skinny Puppy,Ohgr,FLA and Rammstein. Trent Reznor hasn't sold out. Hes been giving away MP3s for FREE and if you want a Vinyl or CD version pay. He has not been making near as much money as he used to. He cleaned up from drug addictions,got buff and started making new music which you don't like because its not the same psycho stuff he used to make.

[@callmepresh]

ill be his paper ballerina...

[@crazymiles]

That's because he samples a Prince song in one of the songs on Pretty Hate Machine.

I do like this song. I liked the very early stuff (Remission especially where they actually used a decent bass + the vocals were more "massive"). Don't care much for the recent SP stuff. Sounds small and muted. This song is much better.

@CinnaMint Roman Dirge did the cover art for the album this song was is on, so probably why the two were related.
