[@David-zo7to]

[@NotSoFinalProductions]

Masterpiece. A combination of all three sounds without compromise from anyone.

[@mtlhero514]

the documentary was awesome. I didn't realize how talented Trent Reznor was. the way he writes is like a classical composer. made me really check out his other work.

[@TheMcThirstyBrothers]

What documentary?

[@augustinadriancristea5873]

Queens of the Foo Nails works for me. Amazing voices, lyrics and mixture of genres. Dave on the drums is spectacular !

[@charleswindsor7835]

Augustin Adrian Cristea yeah, little known bit of info on dave. Turns out he had some practice as a drummer in a little known band he was in before the foo's ;)

[@NYRAPPERFULL]

Queens of the nine inch fighters

[@NYRAPPERFULL]

With all due respect Mike R.L.! I deny you!! The answer is still Queens Of The Nine Inch Fighters!!!

[@NYRAPPERFULL]

With all due respect and ToBeHonest with you I thought maybe you would swear at me or say something really bad. It's like getting or using words as guns or weapons. You're like "shit did I do or say something bad?" but anyhow since we're speaking or commenting on about or of a song here's a list of songs I wrote or more so a track list: Track list 1. Skies of hell (instrumental) 2. Story 3. Paradox 4. Times 5. Murder in may (A cappella) 6. Rock n’ roll thing 7. Sunshine With all due respect Mike R.L.! What do you think of this song list or track list or set list? yeah I made those songs!

[@NYRAPPERFULL]

real songs, man. not a fantasy thingy. Take my word for it and i repeat myself. Take my word with all due respect.

[@NYRAPPERFULL]

To Be Honest with you. I'm recording them with my laptop and I just want to take my time with recording it. I don't have any idea how I can get these songs to the U.S.A if I didn't even record the bass, vocals or even guitar. I don't even have a band. Just so you know i don't play drums and 5 songs have been written. Sunshine and rock n' roll thing have been cancelled because they're only lyrics or just vocal melodies i've been messing around with them so it's only 5 songs that have been written and i just need to record them to get done. I will create more in the future. I hope they turn out to be better in time. So that's where my music at, Mike.

[@NYRAPPERFULL]

Speaking of home demos or just songs this is how my new track list looks like: Track list 1. Skies Of Hell (Metal Instrumental) 2. Story (Life-Photo Passer) 3. Sky Park (Free-biker) 4. Paradox (Eternity) 5. Murder in May (Pop A capella) 6. Garden and Gears (The Time Passers & Minute Men) 7. Rock N’ Roll Thing!!! 8. Welcome To The 50’s (Good Morning, Sunshine!) Mike, I gurantee you this record is gonna make at the very least 5 hits in the u.s.a It's gonna be huge. Just look at the set list And by the time I'm finished writing just look at the songs. What do you think, Mike?

[@dillimeinbilli]

The best part is you can really hear all 3 of them in this, as people and as musicians. There's this very Trent atmosphere and Josh flow and sexiness and Dave heart/soul.

[@jayreva56]

Three of the best musicians of the modern era. Amazing.

[@TheReptileDragons]

This song is just musical perfection no one can dislike this, especially the end of the song

[@schadenfrd]

Nine Inch Fighters of the Stone Age - Mantra

[@bringthedarth]

Dave also drummed on much of the NIN With Teeth album. I love to see collaborations between some of my favorite artists.

[@Mephiston]

Funny part is Trent has also worked with Butch Vig before back in the early 90s, and recently went on tour with QOTSA, so they already had a good relationship and knowledge of eachother already, and it kinda shows with the good flow of the song.

[@mywhychromosome]

+Mephiston If I remember correctly, Trent was involved with one of the Era Vulgaris songs, but it was like a bonus-track or a b-side...also, QOTSA opened for Nine Inch Nails as early as the "With Teeth" Fall Tour, which I saw at MSG...fucking great concert, awesome feeling to be seeing Queens and knowing NIN was coming up next rather than 'sitting through' an opening act that's not your bag

[@mywhychromosome]

Toda Comida do Cérebro Ah! Thanks a bunch. I knew it was something funky like that

[@mywhychromosome]

Toda Comida do Cérebro Btw, do you know exactly what Trent contributed to it?

[@milfpatrol69]

wow what an awesome song. it really does sound evenly like one third of each band. in "supergroup" collaborations it doesn't always pan out like this, but it did here to fantastic results. it takes a special kind of musician to respect the space of others but also burst out as hard as possible at the same time, allowing everyone else to do the same thing, and all three of them do it here.

[@C134B]

Man, in Them Crooked Vultures you can see a bit of Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters and Queen Of The Stone Age, but not only that, you can see their evolution throughout the years and so many styles that i just can't do much, just enjoy. Also, I think Joshua was on acid on most of the TCV interviews and for "interlude with ludes" it's almost a guarantee

[@bjrntorearstein6347]

Fitting title, Mantra. And a damn good track, too! Makes me think of open roads, powerful engines and a low summer sun...Perfect in-car music!

[@MrTrampolineMaster]

josh and daves voices go so well together

[@KoTLinho]

+Austin Pugh thats Trent Reznor singing with Dave

[@gnomeofwar]

+KoTLinho its all 3 guys doing vocals .. Dave starts off... Josh does melodic echo vocals around 1:30 ... (maybe its all 3 guys?) .. at 1:56 , Trent's voice fades in to be more dominant. But does it really matter? 3 'modern day legends' working together on a song, originally an instrumental jam, followed by a "We need to write lyrics to this!!" however it worked out.. I love both the Instrumental AND the Vocal versions of this song.

[@gnomeofwar]

+gnomeofwar and ALL 3 harmonize together in a mind blowing way

[@JasonsLaughter093]

These three seriously just need to make an album together. It would be one of the greatest albums ever made. Hands down.

[@StajoLaBell]

This song should be built into a project with these three. Fucking INCREDIBLE! Good, real music is hard to come by these days and these guys are the ones I would expect to do it. Keep rocking Reznor, Homme and Grohl

[@SmyganPro]

Them Crooked Nails

[@ritamarques3946]

This song build up so much that when it got to the part where it "exploded" I could literally feel the relieve. Very good!

[@EncryptidTube]

Mind blown. There is hope for today's music.

[@garyclark9185]

I agree total perfection,

[@Ramenoth]

If there was anything beyond perfection, this is it.

[@AzureRadiance72]

A lot of combinations but "Stone Age Nails Fighters" sounds epic for me. I love the piano here.

[@abraxas2]

A vision of you there Standing tall By the gate Everything is new Stare into What is not Yet As your bones grow And you feel the pain In exchange Experiences hang Run round your mind And collide Hang your toes Over the edge Cause you can You can switch your place Hide inside If you try You'll open up your eyes And realize How you fit In the wild A lion is a lion No apologies And a leash Is a leech In a corral You're safe and warm Pass it on to Every Sheep Time and time again You stick your self To accept Someone else Give up the wish Let go of the dream Barricade Fantasy Burn the dogma Let the fire Overtake The desire To define (I will find a way To keep this moment) What's raging (For myself I will find a way) Out of control Like a wheel (I will find a way) Like a storm (To keep this moment for myself) Like a virus (I will find a way) Like an ocean Like a silence (I will find a way) An emotion (To keep this moment for myself) Like a darkness (I will find a way) Like a chance An idea (I will find a way) Like a verb Like an outrage (To keep this moment for myself) Like a sunrise Like a monster (I will find a way) Like a monster Like a mantra Like a mantra And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again And all of this Will never be the same Again

[@turkeygod]

this song sounds extremely good if you listen to the shortened version without vocals before listening to the full version with vocals

[@behindthen0thing]

turkeygod yup

[@vanwoertj]

Great stuff. You can really here all 3 artists contributing their own styles...and it worked beautifully.

[@SumFallGrace]

Annnd Dave drummed on NIN's album "With Teeth".

[@TheBMGvideo]

... Trent kills it in true form... 'I will find a way'

[@monipecas]

i wonder how it is iven a little possible, i say... i'ts just beAUTIFUL.. HOW THE THREE OF THEM,, CREATE something very very.. different

[@adamclarke3485]

and yet so.....comfortably familiar.....3 uniquely different musicians coming together to make something that sounds like something i wish could be produced more often....

[@BR0K3NARCH3TYP3]

A fantastic collaboration indeed, the strengths of each person really come through

[@weyoume0]

I am nearly flying away, right into space, into the perfection of music.

[@StottMikel]

Hey buddy. :) First off Reznor and Dave go way back. He played drums for several of the "With Teeth" tracks. Also Trent was in his film about Sound City... the point of this song was it was done in a single take w/o any "splicing" ... there is another video of the three of them playing it in one take without the vocals. Don't forget Trent is classically trained on those Keys. ;)

[@TheBassgurl]

I think I just died and went to heaven. Seriously. Too much musical sexiness for one song to hold

[@EvelinaKirova]

bow Mr. Grohl for the great music, album an movie. Thanks for sharing that amazing experience.

[@MrPekingCat]

4:44 Enter the genius of Homme.

[@MrConkerz22]

More like 5.26 man

[@mattynigma]

Brendan Coffey Much more of a Reznor-style feel IMO for that part specifically

[@rimefrostkitten]

Matt Goodwin Reznor feel from the beginning. Bass guitar takes the lead. Ever listened to Lullabies to Paralyze?

[@theyanchamp]

+Matt Goodwin You mean production. I agree.

[@mayorofsimpleton5674]

I literally read this when I entered.

[@mywhychromosome]

Brilliant combination, especially for what by all rights should just sound like 3 great but totally different musicians dickin' around...my only complaint is that that buildup around 5:00 with "Like a MANTRA!" and then the cut-out, should build up just a LITTLE more and a little longer before the drop-out to achieve the desired drama

[@mrstevo75]

Thank god this guy said it. I've been a fan of Reznor for many many years, but both Grohl and Homme are both pretty talented guys.

[@StottMikel]

If you watch their discussion, you can see why they get along so well. TR was classically trained and while he leverages tech and synth, at his core, he is about music. Grohl did drums on about half the "With Teeth" tracks...so their paths have crossed in the past. That crazy off-beat off-time madness in 'The Collector' screams Mr. Grohl.

[@Itjustgotserious]

Well Dave Grohl is more against people that use the technology as a crutch. If you watched sound city, you would understand that Dave Grohl recognizes Trent Reznor as being very talented, and that he does not use the technology as a crutch, he uses it just like an instrument. He also says that Trent is one of the most brilliant people that he knows.

[@WickedLiquid]

Cool, I've been a fan of both Ghrol and Reznor since the mid 90's (since I was 13, lol) but I didn't know that. Truth be told I wasn't a big fan of With Teeth so maybe that's why. Also Ghrol always strikes me as someone who would rather record something in his garage as a raw take while Reznor is kind of the opposite and overlaps multiple instruments. They're both musical geniuses but very different when it comes to recording, ya know? But hey, it's always nice to learn something new. :) Cheers.

[@jeffdeptula6946]

to all musicians out there. this movie should have spoken to you. we all need to stop with relying on digital so much, the old school way of recording is still the best. im on a personal goal to do this. im currently looking for my band and make my own path.

[@guitarist5477]

I agree that the old school way gets the best sound. To be realistic, most of us musicians don't have the money to be able to record this way, especially with how hard it is to even make it in todays world. Most musicians need digital just to get off the ground before they can even get to any analog style equipment.

[@jeffdeptula6946]

true, but we gotta start somewhere. this is the right time to get your foot in the door. the record execs are saying the music is sounding to much the same. I go into the studio in January. the time is now!

[@guitarist5477]

jeff deptula I think this is a great start. I would say all musicians who have the funds should record analog, specially cause the sound is better. Plus it would show how much more they care about their quality.

[@HeyZeus096]

I think that for right now, the best way to do it is use both integrated and kind of pick and choose what to use for what. That being said, my band has no access to an analog studio and we're recording purely digital right now for the cost of a few plates of brownies and constant sarcasm from our recording guy.

[@jeffdeptula6946]

HeyZeus096 that's cool as long as it's used the right way. if its going to be a constant crutch to fix mistakes, then were right back to todays music problems. I know about the dollars. its tight for me too, but I gotta do itright the first time and go analog. good luck to you and your band. im still searching for mine.

[@Poxmell]

Goose bumps inbound.

[@radiojunkie12]

Definitely get chills when Trent starts singing.

[@Bogeyman667]

That's true. He actually played drums for a total of 6 songs on With Teeth + percussions for the song All the Love in the World. I wish they'd make more music together, this is awesome.

[@MusicFromUsToYou]

I do know that, but never before have they all shared the credit equally for one song.

[@ShredifyinBrian]

Homme and Reznor are also really good friends, and Grohl and Homme are good friends with each other, so it was only a matter of time before they collaborated on something, and the very first time it ever happens we get this amazing song out of it.

[@Africansuperstars]

What an amazing track!!! Dave u legend, SOUND CITY ROCKED!!!

[@Africansuperstars]

Dave played on seven of the tracks of With Teeth: percussion on "All the Love in the World", drums on "You Know What You Are?" "The Collector", "Every Day Is Exactly the Same" "Getting Smaller" "Sunspots" and "The Line Begins to Blur."

[@fabiostrippoli93]

Dave played drums on 7 tracks on NIN's album "With Theet" (2005). You never thought you'd see the day? Well, that day was 8 years ago!

[@GtvooH]

I didn't like eletronic till this year, so i'm not very used to it, but reznor is (with John Frusciante) the most brilliant artist i've aver heard. (and FF/QOTSA are between my top favourite bands)

[@gicger]

i'll never find anyone who fits me as well as reznor's artistry

[@GoodgriefMaltese]

I will find a way to keep this moment for myself.

[@johnnahodil]

thanx, love all their stuff, real music from real artist

[@Octology_]

The recording industries resistance to change with emerging technologies, turning a blind eye to what the public wanted, and refusing to update out-of-date business practices are "the elephant in the room." Music piracy didn't start with Napster, similar programs, or even the internet. Anyone with a dual-cassette deck at home in the 80's could pirate music with ease--and did. The "music industry" is doing just fine. Never before have we had so much music available to the masses.

[@TheBigmed23]

Too much awesomeness in this song !

grohl said in the movie is that trent uses electronics as a tool not a crutch like DJs and what not

[@MusicFromUsToYou]

5:24 ... That sounds to me like a legitimate raw and edgy NIN guitar riff. I love it.

[@dillimeinbilli]

You're right man. I know a lot of you don't like her but Courtney Love had written a really sensible article in 2000 about this problem and I learnt a lot of things I didn't know about how little musicians actually get from these "platinum"/"million dollar" records. And how little creative control they end up with. The system Radiohead, NIN etc are going with is way better.And Kickstarter etc make it about support for the artist and responsibility from the artist. No middleman

[@BemisShmemis]

Glad I'm not the only one who sees this.

[@AdamsDuhStuff]

Very true. But you can't say that piracy and people uploading stuff to KZbin, etc. hasn't hurt sales. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk and steak for free? Sound City was mostly shot with a RED Epic camera. The music may have been recorded to analog tape but the interview audio and voiceovers more than likely weren't. If the documentary's audio was mixed with the Neve board and recorded to analog tape for the mix down I'd be impressed.

[@WickedLiquid]

Dave Grohl and Trent Reznor? Wow. Grohl and Homme is a no brainer but Dave was always passionate on his stance against electronic music. And Reznor is... well, just look at How To Destroy Angels, that side project doesn't even have a real drummer. Don't get me wrong I love all three musicians and I'm a big fan of NIN, Queens and Foo Fighters/Nirvana. I just never thought I'd see the day.

Grohl and Reznor already worked together dude, Grohl did most of the drums on With Teeth, and obviously Reznor's featured on QOTSA albums before, to me it makes perfect sense :)

[@cortarelva]

Am I the only one who gets huge Faith No More vibes from this song?

[@dromendus]

I'd argue that as far as talent goes, Homme and Reznor are pretty much in the same league. Have you heard Queens' new album ...Like Clockwork? It's nothing short of pure musical genius.

[@WoodieLarsen]

suspense is an under utilized tool.. sometimes NOT doing what people might expect is just as good (sometimes better) than actually doing it.. it's patience. very cool tune.

[@dysamoria]

This is the second (third?) time that Dave Grohl has worked with Trent Reznor. Grohl contributed live drums to the Nine Inch Nails album With_Teeth in 2005(?).

[@faigmoreno]

[@Googaliemoogalie]

I agree with you totally, and in the documentary where this song comes from, Dave Grohl says that music is produced without any knowledge of instruments and technology is a crutch, and he says how Trent Reznor doesn't need that crutch because he has amazing talent..Trent Reznor Is an amazing artist and you can see his talent through NIN. And when Drave says things to say against music its always against the new pop music like Rihanna and company...which is terrible garbage

...A lot of that is people buying singles instead of albums, why pay for an album with 3 good songs/songs you want and 9 fillers when you can buy just the 3 good songs digitally? Before you had to buy the whole thing, now you don't. I'm not saying all albums are like that, but that's what some artists or people do, especially in pop. That's why there's less revenue with higher song download counts. Sound city was recorded via analog btw.
