NIN: Survivalism live w/ Saul Williams, Atlanta 5.10.09

[nindes]

Oh a NIN video i haven't seen, makes a change, i normally surf you tube for nin vids and when i get to the end i start again! ;)

[2112Primus]

OH MY GOD DAT STAGE PRESENCE

[IUseQsInsteqdOfQs]

Saul Williams' presence is more electrifying than his yellow pants

[SimplerThoughts]

Ketchup and mustard FTW!!

[claytond]

@SimplerThoughts You saved my day !

[hallorand9]

God..when Saul came on, felt like i was on coke and pcp. All that fucking energy.

[Mafila]

When I first saw Trent Reznor with Saul Williams I honestly didn't get it. Then I listened and I was blown away.

[MrSizzackz]

hah i love saul williams, He did a special apperance at a les claypool show, i was so excited! omg

[BigNothing85]

Anyone who doesn't like Saul Williams obviously doesn't listen to him.

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

Saul Williams is a fucking talented rapper. Look up his shit.

[007fiber007]

Yehh.. This is undoudtedly awesome. You can't compare a cell of art w/ another. PERIOD!! Great capture of a live event w/ nin/ Saul Williams. Only if people would listen and not hear music. That simple. And those of you who do know this is TRUE.say it...

[TheBandPinion]

Why do people dislike videos? (Epsecially NIN ones) If you dont like it...dont watch it. Its that simple.

[themahermax]

this performance would have been better if there was TWIGGY RAMIREZ on bass & JOSH FREESE on drums !!!!

the line-up of (BYIT TOUR 2005-2006) is the BEST

[Tbl4uHKA]

Негритенок прикольный в конце вылез подпевать. =)

[timmah638]

Based on the comments, I almost expected Saul to sound bad in this or something to cause the arguments...after watching it, I can only say the people who think he sounds bad are fucking morons.

[Rockvoxxx]

Saul is no joke if you dont know the rise and fall of Niggy Tardust sounds very Trent but you cannot deny Saul's power. This is ten shades of awesome!

[skateNappreciate]

you guys should check out Saul Williams' shit, I myself am an aspiring writer and he's a great inspiration, look him up on wikipedia or google and chech his self titled album her on youtube, somebody most likely uploaded it. remember, he focus' alot on lyrics

[victoriousrants]

every time Trent wears leather pants so tight they look sprayed on, an angel gets its wings :']

[midnightblackrose]

I'm sorry but between those red leather pants and Saul butt crack are cracking me up. Good performance though.

[PvtPlatypus]

Saul was great with this. 

[Bangieflea]

I've been a NIN fan for a decade, and to all the "who the fuck iz saul williams???" people, 2 tips = 1- Shut the fuck up and 2 - listen to Amethyst Rock Star or his eponymous album BEFORE/instead of Niggy Tardust. The man has lyrics like you wouldnt believe. He is an amazing poet - there's a reason Reznor wanted to work with him. Saul is a genius in his own right and its a travesty that he's as relatively unknown as he is. do yourself a favour and go listen

wow that was inappropriately long

[TheNineinchsnails]

@Bangieflea did you hear his song on the nike ad...I lost all respect for him honestly.

[wootslap]

@TheNineinchsnails Well that's fucking retarded. You understand that the record label owns the rights to that song and decide who they want to sell it to, right? Why don't you lose respect for Trent every time a NIN song is in a movie trailer?

[TheNineinchsnails]

@wootslap I know how copyrights work. Saul has to allow the song to be aired. Umg doesnt entirely have intellectual property over a song. Its the fact he sold it to nike...

[MstrSleepMan]

@TheNineinchsnails he believes in the nike responsibility initiative. I don't mind. we never seen it and probably never will. let it go.

[Boppa83]

@Bangieflea Well put Saul Williams has a lyrical prowess that most other artist would kill for!

[gundambob646]

@Bangieflea Have you listened to volcanic sunlight? amazing! 

[MrBarlieCharlie]

saul didn't get the 'wear black and red' memo

[ShakirkaLOVE]

ужас



[randomazn420]

And also who.is saul wiliams

[trancex777]

@randomazn420 look up Street Sweeper Social Club if you like RATM you will love them

[randomazn420]

Itd been awesome if at the end of this set they had like swat operators do a on stage takedown similar to that in the music video

[gebe321]

Does anyone know what piece of equipment Trent is using from 0:00 to 0:50?

[bassjompi]

@gebe321 looks like an MPG

[bassjompi]

@gebe321 looks like an MPG

[juicystunts]

saul williams is my fav ever

[yeraofchaos]

if you dont like it!! dont see it you fucking bastard!!! fuck the 19 bastards!!

[julyphoenix]

i bet those who says saul suck or some marketing shit knowing nothin about saul, or even some fucked up racist.

[vegamarco4]

I really hope niggy tardust 2 is in production.

[thelimbokid]

I broke into glossolalia at the end.

[blackgoetia]

Trent is a sergeant

[MrOwn1]

i want some goddamn yellow pants.

[ZZqezza]

yellow ... red ... yellow ... red ....

[5ninxavinin5]

it's just me or seems that robin wants to play The Fragile at the beginning of the video? :)

[RJ8812]

not everyday do you see two guys up on stage..one wearing red leather pants, the other wearing yellow jeans

[GlenMuse795]

@RJ8812 LEGWEAR OF THE GODS.

[hardtodigit]

Pure fuckin' energy!!!

[daftmarzo]

Wow, the camera work is really good.

[DasFremde]

Saul should pull his pants up lol. I can see his crack.

[92451721921892113]

red pants = ketchup yellow pants = mustard this songs a hot dog and i ate it all!

[dzmowatt]

Saul Williams is a great slam poet and artist.

[Von2good]

Seriously guys its not like Saul randomly jumped on stage, He was invited to be there by Trent Reznor -- obviously there is a reason, sit back and enjoy Reznor's genius.

[CAPTAlNSTEWPID]

NICE BALD SPOT TRENT

[Dltn97]

Dude Saul has a LOT of energy he's awesome!

[music90js]

Survivalism was just a bit too much :D

[halosmyth]

Saul is so awesome live, I was at this concert and it was great but sad :(

I go to see saul whenever he is in town and it makes me sad, he usually plays at the loft a really small venue and it's never full, which is a shame because he is brilliant.

[MrE99999]

question: until 3:34 Saul has got his mic on the stand, then the mike is loose (he turns around a couple of times) and 3:46 it is back on the stand without me seeing the stand in the meantime. Magic?

[julifforve]

@MrE99999

clearly you are in the Matrix.

[Rosstacular]

@MrE99999 he grabs one on a stand next to him, diff. mic

[libbern]

And gotta say, the intro is perfect

[libbern]

I wasn't generally a big fan of the music Saul and Trent made together (without saying it was bad), but this was cool. Nin is kinda "white", you know... not many black people in the audience. But into the scenes comes this awesome black dude with funky shoes:D Hope they keep in touch.

[M02ART]

@libbern Haha, you are totally right.

[snupcho]

No guitar in this mix...

[starstruckstarfuck]

@snupcho

I can hear the guitar fine.

[haenzel86]

Great intro!

[ReznorRedux]

@ynattirbelise people say the same thing to me, usually on a daily basis

[NacreousCTD]

If Trent Reznor were to collaborate with Mike Patton....I think my head would explode! But it would be great final moments of my life :)

[jrmetul94]

Saul has so much energy... damn

[Fr0k]

Saul dance like Ian Curtis!

[ReznorRedux]

As much as I like saul, you gotta wonder sometimes, what the fuck is he wearing?

[knr6]

One of the coolest things about Trent Reznor: Those red leather pants. Only a man of his stature could rock those.

[Luisitox5]

@knr6 lol. yeah, he is awesome, but it's not real fur. He is against fur clothe.

[nanochase]

@knr6 Oh you should look at Trent during the "Broken" era. That man can pull off anything, including fishnet stockings.

[MSNGR415]

@nanochase those were the nin heydays

[misternipples100]

@knr6 challenge accepted

[4Esoteric4Dolphana4]

best

intro

EVER

[JimBoopLoop]

i was there and when trent and saul start saying AAAAA for an hour everyone was like o no he's broken :DDDDDDDD

[MaddogVGS]

Fucking song rocks.

[Sangdude]

I lol'd when Saul Williams showed up outta nowhere

[peacemakerofthewar]

Saul isn't cool as NIN



[ChainsawUnion]

@peacemakerofthewar Dude, you need to really take a look at what you're saying. Trent Reznor is a man of great intelligence and integrity. If he features someone like Saul Williams it is for a reason. Trent is considered the best producer of all music and broke completely new grounds with his music. Really, he pretty much created a new genre of music. If Saul is on stage with this man of genius, trust that Saul extremely talented. By saying Saul sucks, you're insulting Trent...

[jrmetul94]

@ChainsawUnion Couldn't put it better myself ><

[2222busdriver]

@ChainsawUnion Saul Williams revolutionized Hip Hop with his poetry, music, and lyrics. Saul Williams and Trent Reznor are great friends and Trent actually produced some of the stuff on Saul's last album. Like you said, Trent is an amazing artist and neither would do a show with each other if one or the other thought they weren't that great.

[morroida9966]

@ChainsawUnion sorry, thats not true, having saul on stage is a matter of marketing

[clevelandjasmin23]

@morroida9966 LOL no!! What marketing? are you born as a retarded, or did you become one? Saul Williams is less mainstream then NIN. If anything Saul Williams would be the one doing this for the marketing.

[morroida9966]

@clevelandjasmin23 i didnt say he was more or mainstream than NIN, that is not the point, think before you reply offensively

[grenadezeroone]

@ChainsawUnion saul sucks

[ChainsawUnion]

@grenadezeroone You're also a stupid troll who has the brain power of a fucking turtle and couldn't recognize talent if it stabbed you in your eyes.

[grenadezeroone]

@ChainsawUnion I recognise talent ---> y ou tube .com/watch?v=7sUgwqkEMEk

[tulanderio]

@ChainsawUnion Totally agree with you man!. But objectively talking, maybe Saul's intervention on this one is not the best, and the song losses it's shape a little. Anyway, there's no rules about music taste!!

greetings :)

[Rockvoxxx]

@ChainsawUnion exactly!, sadly,you can't get through to people who only crave three chord rock.

[Rockvoxxx]

@ChainsawUnion Also remember on way back in the day "pretty hate Machine" Trent thanked for inspiration PRince, Public Enemy, Jane's addiction, among others.

[peacemakerofthewar]

Saul isn't cool as NIN

[petharti]

Saul is the man.

[peacemakerofthewar]

@petharti No. Saul suck.

[TheDatasureal]

WOW.

[TheKornkid20]

Whoever said Saul sucks has something wrong with their brain lol NIN kicks ass

[T103168]

who the hell else has vids from the stage .....TRENT is fucking . geniusamazingbrillintinnovativ­groundbreaking badass....

[Wormdog84]

[peacemakerofthewar]

[davism4a1]

[1ertia]

[moonchild6484]

yeahhhhhhhhhh!

[mikegollihue]

I love how much Trent is into it in the beginning

[tonyadamsjr]

The 'Black Guy' is Saul Williams. It says it in the title of the video dude.

[omega1antichrist]

WHO THE HELL IS THE BLACK GUY?

[mavman16]

[geturphil69]

[lollirotcharlie]

[PeeSmitty2000]

Reznor and Williams should start a band and call themselves The Condiments. LOL.

[bladereaper3]

I need those pants.

[LIPSofDARKNESS]

why the fuck couldnt i have seen this

[5ninxavinin5]

first of all, say that i'm spanish and my english it's very poor!

It's just me or Robin starts playing The Fragile and then Trent starts with Survivalism and Robin notice his mistake? xd

[fireoceanqc]

2:54 did he says c'mon or tout le monde ? lol

[SweetJesusItsJack]

@fireoceanqc

Definitely "c'mon."

[fireoceanqc]

2:54

did he says common or tout le monde ?

[xlesLadyx]

Niceeeee :D

[DJRaveN4x]

that opening is freaking crazy.

[myboomstick]

thost pants are too small for saul's ass

[IndustrialRocker]

15 dislikes = 15 manson fans.

[YZach]

@IndustrialRocker I like Manson, I just NIN a lot more.

[YZach]

@IndustrialRocker I like Manson, but NIN is still my favorite.

[morelgungo]

@IndustrialRocker shut up, most people who like NIN like manson, and most manson fans like NIN.

[IndustrialRocker]

@morelgungo Don't take it to heart too much, it was a little comment that really meant nothing. I don't mind Manson myself, so take it easy :).

[crimson1lion32]

@IndustrialRocker thats not acctually fair..i like NIN too and marilyn manson... :( are you insulting your fellow fans?

[IndustrialRocker]

@crimson1lion32 I'm insulting no one, as I said to another person; 'It was a comment that really meant nothing' as I am a little bit of a Manson fan myself, I just find his personality clashes with his music a bit, but that is just my opinion which I am entitled to. So no, I do think it's quite fair although I am sorry if I have offended you.

[stalinised]

Saul Williams' boots are amazing...hahaha

[RaveKraver]

This was such a great show!

[LegionAnon]

So Survivalism just broke down into some kinda hoedown?

[bradburh]

@LegionAnon Shut up you racist.......saul williams is fucking amazing

[koskov]

What kind of troll is 'disliking' this video?

[starstruckstarfuck]

@koskov

its wither linkin park fans or marilyn manson creating lots of accounts

[Garmose]

@starstruckstarfuck lol, what are you on, I fucking LOVE NiN and LP is my favourite band beside NiN. O_o And Marilyn used to work with Trent, why would his fans hate Trent?

[ElephantsWithTutus]

What an amazing perfomance, i love that intro ;_;

[Recovrd1]

I was there! Jane's Addiction kicked ass too!

[doctorspankluv]

I love Floyd...as Trent duz. If I had to pick any above all....it's NIN. If u ever meet someone that dunt lyke Nails....beat them...leave them...never talk to them. They are evil. This is not an opinion....it is fact. They are from hell. Trent....as Christ (not comparing) preaches truths see. Tell the non-NIN listeners to burn in mutha fuckin hell.

[stinkfists462]

that intro is huge

[djjake]

lol what a dead crowd....don't even know how to do a simple eh chant

[robram818]

[RevinFreddy]

[doctorspankluv]

@tRipPinRolLz u are correct....they are not worthy at all to be in his presence.

[xFrankIero14]

fuck, yeah.

[MalluchTB]

This rendition gave me chills, you can just feel the synergy between them. Best rendition of Survivalism I've seen yet, by far.

[nova1636]

Dig the 3 chevrons on his shoulder, lol. Motherfucking sergeant of cool!

[iDiggMGL]

When I say niggy, you say survivalism. Long live NIN/Saul Williams

[roseagain2]

[isaiah11184]

@skateNappreciate I'd agree. Saul Williams is the seed of hip-hop that was meant to sprout.
