NIN - Now I'm Nothing

[roboslobonator]

The instruments to me sound a little bit like 18 Ghosts II. Hm. Is there any way I can get this song in better quality?

[alkmoan02]

I wish this was officially recorded. This is one of my all-time favorites.

[dumberer67]

this crappy audio has been on my mp3 for years-its soooo great!!!!

[axis1250]

is this off any "unofficial" albums

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@axis1250 Its on NIN super rare tracks

[SarethSirBootalot]

What happened to the ending? I really wanted to hear that part...

[beowulven]

NIN is Jonas Brothers, a third rate pop band.

[NIN99Koala]

@beowulven Lol, fuck you...

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@beowulven subject matter is the key diffrence

[kutcharaninfan]

@beowulven are you an awful soulless troll trying get a rise out of us nin fans or just an asshole with NO soul to begin with??

[beowulven]

@kutcharaninfan

I attended one of the first NIN shows ever, on the opening date of Skinny Puppy's Vivisect Six tour. I've seen them live (alongside good bands) four times.

It's because I have a strong, creative soul and am not a 13 year old girl that I can see without question: your emperor wears no clothes.

Trent makes simple, obvious pop music for the Hot Topic crowd. And he's really short, which is, you know, just unforgivable. Good luck!

[kutcharaninfan]

@beowulven your underappreciation and trolling on this icon is unforgivable he is such a talented genius your just a dickhead

[kutcharaninfan]

@beowulven Ps. fuck hot topic!

[KedViper]

@beowulven Yes, because I'm sure pop-culture really enjoyed the simplicity of The Downward Spiral. ( Have you ever heard of Friedrich Nietzsche?) Just because someone makes music that people actually enjoy listening to and can relate to, doesn't make it pop. But even if it was pop, that's not necessarily bad. All you're doing is being a pretentious malcontent. And who the fuck cares if he's short? Probably not all of the women he slept with... Are you really a Satanist? hehe

[beowulven]

@KedViper

"I still recall the taste of your tears"? Methinks the Jonas Brothers would approve heartily. Good luck.

[KedViper]

@beowulven "If she says cum inside I'll cum inside for her" "God is dead and no one cares" " "Held against your forehead. I'll make you suck it. Maybe I'll put a hole in your head. You know, just for the fuck of it." "Devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest. Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress." "I'm like the cancer in your system. I've got a little surprise for you" "A life time of fucking things (up) all fixed in one determined flash."

[BatteriesDead]

this should have been in halo 02R

[eric1988ism]

i love this i want it

[DEADSOULS33]

fff

[METALHEAD975]

i wonder if a band will ever cover this, it would either be the ultimate tribute or a huge flop depending on the group

[hatfisc]

plenty of covers on youtube. 99% of which are fails.

[BatteriesDead]

@hatfisc LOL

[jrquilty]

wish Trent would have put Now I'm Nothing on the single Halo 3 Head Like A Hole since there was a few different terrible lie remix remixes and Down In It also, which is why I didn't buy the Halo 1 Down in It single cause on the HLAH single there was all kinda demos from PHM

[shiftyshorty12345678]

why is the audio quality so shitty

[flowerpower111]

live song

[Plur307]

@shiftyshorty12345678

Check out the video posted by the user chaonatic. It's a 1080p HD video of them performing this song in Kansas City last may. I was there!

[jrquilty]

So wish this could be added to the Pretty Hate Machine album as the intro for Terrible Lie but Ryko won't let Trent do any kinda deluxe album like they did for TDS but no they are fucking cunts, I don't even have the actual PHM-TVT album from 1989 now Ryko has some bullshit 2005 import. Then they wanna copyright a green tinted jewel case. Too bad I didn't buythe rights for the PHM album when TVT went backrupt lol or some other hardcore NIN fan.

[theXfaction]

@jrquilty Look around if you really want an original TVT released copy. I got an original one that they obviously don't release anymore cuz TVT closed down... I didn't even know Ryko got the titles and stuff for PHM. So I guess I'm lucky

[HoleHeadedLiar]

@theXfaction You guess you're lucky?

Dude, there's no guessing about it. YOU ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY.

[DanielH8Club]

I'm a little confused, if this was during their Pretty Hate Machine romantic rock band era, just how would this fit in? Or did this happen also because of the TVT fiasco?

[UnknownShadow718]

It was made as their introduction to Terrible Lie.

[churchy99]

Yeah I know. It's a little confusing, even the the some of the biggest fans don't know this exists because it was just written as an intoduction for each show on the lollapalooza tour followed by terrible lie - they bought it back for the wave goodbye tour - seeing this live was awesome!

[zilezephane420]

which show?

[churchy99]

I saw it live at the London 02 this year

[nineinchnail6794]

romantic rock??? your a fucking retard

[DanielH8Club]

i'm a fucking retard for wording something wrong? mmmmmmkay then.

if you looked at PHM's album, it's mainly love/spite-based. Maybe I did word that wrong, but I was just asking how this song would have fit in with them in that particular period of time...

[LoomVideos]

since hearing this song live for the first time at the london show last week ive kept singing it - wish this was released!!

[BJZnRPZ]

I gotta take a shit brotha.

[JesusCristo2002]

Musically Reznor's most significant work to date is indeed "Ghosts I-IV" and "The Fragile", in a recent interview Reznor stated if he ever changed his mind regarding his 'final' tour, he might begin a tour consisting of songs only from "Ghosts" and "Still".

[sarroyo129]

He's getting married!!!!!!! In my opinion, he wants to maybe start a family and dedicate time to his fiance.

[TRACER0218]

To Mariqueen Maandig.

We know. ;P

[XxKaoticFatexX]

Trent's Getting married yeah!! FUCK HER LIKE AN ANIMAL TRENTT =D

[cloudnin1]

he is?

its been a while scince iv updated my info.

thats so awesome tho!

[XxKaoticFatexX]

No so awesome in the end :(!! nin have split up now! they won't tour for a while until trent decide to get back to nine inch nails

[letsgoforajoyride]

@sarroyo129 very bad mistake for an independent. she only using him.. dunno what he sees in her other than those DSL's

[KedViper]

@letsgoforajoyride Well, I mean he's getting rather old. It's probably about time to reproduce.

[MushroomBluex]

y would u think he is quitting he put out like 5 albums in the past few years. He has obviously spoiled you. Give the man some time to work.

[PMartinez527]

because he has said this is the last we will see of NIN for the foreseeable future.

[kraeze]

Do you hear the ghost in the background??

2 Ghosts 9 I think... Sounds really similar.

[MrPangwang2]

there is no ghost 9. Its one through four. The closest thing to what I think you are trying to make a reference to is 2 Ghost I or 9 Ghost I. Figure out which one it is. I would suggest getting your album info corrected at the ninwiki, ; )

[afthefragile]

Oh and Trent has been working with producer Lawrence Bender on the Year Zero TV series. So he is pretty serious about it...

[carrotcrow13]

wave, wave, goodbye...christ i hope hes not quitting for good

[MexicanHumanoid]

a brilliant musician like trent could never quit. i think he just needs to recharge again and his absence will create new demand. when the fragile came out most of us were DYING for NIN at that point. i'm not saying 5 years off is whats needed, but maybe in 2 years he'll have something completely new and exciting.

[CRAZYslowpoke]

nah, Id say a good 5 years again. he'll probably just do some fun things like maybe another ghost type thing or a what I really hope for is a full piano album because though I love his angry songs, I love his quiet ones even more

[afthefragile]

Well he said he's looking to make a tv series out of the year zero concept and also working on a software. And if that doesn't work, then he'll go back to making music normally back again. He's also got to release that YZ2 album he's been speaking of since he release YZ.

[TRACER0218]

The Slip is YZ2.

The software? The Alternate Reality Game is completed. There is no more.

The TV series we've been hearing about, don't count on it. I don't know why, but I think it would be a fail. It may make it to an internet minishow, but not a television show.

Nonetheless, I love the Year Zero story. I would make a video for each of the songs.

If I only had the talent.

But my imagination runs with the story.

Can't believe I missed the events though.

[PMartinez527]

the slip is not year zero part 2. He said recently that he has not had time to get around to working on it. And he just recently pitched the year zero miniseries to HBO and is waiting on a decision.

[TRACER0218]

It has no relations to Year Zero?

The why the Resistance flag set as the art for Letting You?

Think about the lyrics and how they can connect to the story of Year Zero.

They do.

[TRACER0218]

*then why the Resistance flag..

[CtrlAltDECIMATE]

Letting You is the sequel, or an expansion to, Year Zero. The album as a whole isn't related to Year Zero.

[leavinghope1970]

Still got my 'sin' tshirt from the Lollapalooza 91. Still wear it sometimes.

[BatteriesDead]

omg i had a shirt(:[ yes had a shirt i do not know how i could lose such a wonderful shirt :'[) that had the art of pretty hate machine on the front and in the back it said now im nothing and a big logo of nin :[[ i miss it so

[matts88]

haha, you can't buy that one anymore!

[BatteriesDead]

ihu :[

[JennRocksVegas]

Hey, thanks for posting!

This is the same version of this song I got years ago when Napster first started...

Such an awesome tune.

Thanks again!

[Fjallevarehang]

He should extend it and release it. The part when he scream is just awesome!

[trevoreriksmoen]

one of the best nin songs ever!!

[poolboyinla]

very nice

[NvikIngsN]

There's an awesome live version of this and terrible lie on youtube. It can be found on the unreleased Closer DVD that leaked onto the internet...

[Steve141986]

Where do you live? >:)

[MikeG82]

why wasn't this released?

it is awesome

[MMSeven1963]

I agree!

[SegaNeedsVodka]

your the same dude, aren't you?

[sabastiane6]

This was actually released on a bootleg live cd of NIN performing in Lollapalooza '91. I have this cd somewhere. The song they start playing at the end is Terrible lie.
