This song has meant a lot to me. I hear it as a prayer to a God that I want desperately to believe in, but the whole thing is set in the context of it being a terrible lie. It's a struggle I've dealt with for years and it is very comforting to hear it put into words with such emotion.
@Massacrus Yeah, I've actually resolved my issues with religion vs. intellectualism crap and agree that it is much easier to sit back and complain that something doesn't make sense rather than do something about it and figure out what you believe in. I have been able to relate to this song better than any other song I can think of and am very happy that I am no longer in that state of mind. I just wanted to share my take on it and what it means to me. But thanks for caring!
@Aaronsolnelson simplified, nonetheless. if you want to hear an actual conflict, youtube "johnny cash - god s gonna cut you down". and, just fyi, "Ya svoboden" means "i m free":-) i can understand the lingo a bit.
I love how Reznor's voice sounds exactly like it does on the studio albums. I mean, like his with teeth and Year Zero studio vocals. No vocal processing there....
I crowd surfed during this song in Sydney, Australia in 2005. Still hasn't been topped in terms of personal epic moments. During the same gig I carried an unconscious girl from the mosh pit to the ambulance resuscitation station and was sought out and thanked by her boyfriend after the show. Unbelievable night; I felt like the king of the world. Then I went to a bar afterward and spilled a beer on my crotch which brought me back down to Earth. One of the most amazing nights of my life.
@AquaticLD50 same thing with the AATCHB tour version of closer. He has that same energy. I mean during that song, he smashed his mic stand, and poured water all over one of his keyboardists.
Trent Reznor is indeed a walking time bomb when it comes to live performance.
This is sick ! This is insane ! I really love this song. This is the best band in live. BUT .... This is so sad that they stopped to play live. Never seen them in real : (
you fucking promise meeeeeeeeeeeeeee fucking biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch aaaagagjhahagh you fucking hooooooooooooooooooooooooreeeeeeeee i can belive thiiiiiiiiiiis terrible lieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
the lineup with danny lohner and robin finck,with charlie clouser was better. i live down the street from clousers family,and know em but that didnt change my opinion.
@beerbra420 I couldnt agree with you more, every time I have NIN live they are nothing short of amazing. One of the few bands I can say their live sets make the albums sound like shit.
oh my... why??? cause he's getting married? what the heck ishe gonna do? bore to death? :(( this means I'll nevver get the chance to see him live. I couldn't make it to his gig last month :(((
Yeah well i noticed how even the ugly chicks can be two facing whores. It doesnt matter cuz either way this song is just about every single two timing whore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DX GOD DAMMIT!!!!! LIES! LMAO!
lol. Try living in NYC and see if God can help you there. If there are no miracles out in NJ, and NYC seems to be a last resort and he still he can't help, then the whole world, including you will be screwed. That's not a "Terrible Lie"... That's a fact. lol.
I waited up at the stage for four hours. Great show, great spot. I had to back up though, the moshing killed me. Best performance I saw at Bonnaroo, no doubt.
i found this dvd on a wal-mart here in mexico a week ago, it was like 90 pesos (something like 7-8 bucks). i bought it inmediatly, its an amazing performance, Trent is a great frontman... i wish i could have been in that concert u.u
yeah so cool like jim morrison,jimi henrix,kurt cobain,layne stayley they look pretty fucking cool dont they oh wait thats right there fucking dead because they looked so cool but they like trent have a disease of addiction that wants them dead and you guys want to talk about him looking different im glad he looks different and im glad hes alive and not dead like the rest of my cool looking rock idols
I didn't say his appearance made a difference to the music he's composing gregsuperstar, I just said that I prefered Reznor when he was a scrawny guy in rags. I'm at least entitled to my own opinion, and yeah butercup0516 I miss his hair too XD
Are you guys serious ? I mean, you do think that bulking changed his voice ? Trent is about 45 years old now, and his voice didn't change a lot... btw the video file is poor quality. Check out the DVD, his voice is not so different..
I prefered Trent as a scrawny guy in raggy clothes, thats just me. I think that was his best image. Even though he's kicked the drugs, I dont think I'll get used to Reznor as a bulky guy. Ah well, long live NIN
