[Live-Acoustic] - The Becoming - Nine Inch Nails [~2002]

[jovamereel]

Cool vid... about as close to really "acoustic" as we'll probably ever see from these guys, even if there is still a pre-recorded track running throughout. But man... wouldn't it be cool to see a truly unplugged show from this band? Like old-school MTV unplugged with Nine Inch Nails... I'd pay money to see that for sure.

[insatanskeep]

I love Trent. So glad that Professor Snape started a band <3

[thefluxcapacitor1]

youre fucking stupid, hes white like a fucking muslim

[MerryAndrew22]

I just noticed that Trent kinda looks like professor snape......ha....No wonder his music is so awsome.....He probably knows magic....

[shadowoflightvideo]

2002, not 2005

[xxTaylorJamesxx]

weird, the guy from smash mouth sings alot like this

[carloshhache]

Trent plays the piano like a fucking animal...

[jerefoxleycba]

@carloshhache he wants to play it like an animal ^^

[velcrosexlinkage25]

SNAPE!

[cheesemaker3000]

i have the same mic as him xD

[GOONOFTHEWORLD]

who is the 1 fruitcake who disliked this video,put him out so i can whoop his ass.

[bullsfan93]

can someone tell me whos playing guitar and drums?

[jcrm05]

@bullsfan93 Jerome Dillon - Drums. Danny Lohner - Guitar. We need NIN back and with these guys.

[lorenaolivas]

WOw

[lithjimmy]

@ 1:50 you can hear the Piano playing, but Trent's hands are nowhere near the keys. The music will always be great, but I don't think this is live.

[whyfuckwhenyoucaneat]

@lithjimmy it is live, but he's overdubbed certain parts after the fact. You can hear him overdub the vocal line "..isn't here any more" at 01:21. Also, it's obviously shot with only one or two cameras, but to create the look of having lots of camera angles, they played along to the recording and changed the camera. He's done that a lot with other things. Nothing wrong with it, they're just making it more entertaining for viewing

[Idkfawin32]

@lithjimmy Thats the acoustic guitar. Listen..... The sound is too warm to be that piano

[jovamereel]

@lithjimmy That's because they are playing along with a pre-recorded track with a lot of instrumentation already on it. And to the guy who said "that's the acoustic guitar"; No, that's pre-recorded piano. If you want, just watch the drummer; He's not playing all of those loops. In fact, the drum loops start well before he plays a single note. Not that there's anything wrong with this; I'm just trying to clear up some of the confusion about this performance.

[sdv0018]

woah.

[108miker]

one of the best songs ever

[Opock]

Some one know where can i find this version? i have this album NIИ live kroq almost acoustic christmas-2005-12-10, there isnt this version! :'( i wanna cry for this!

[fearless1000]

@Opock Its on the second (Still) disc of Live: And All That Could Have Been

[TheSprince84]

love this

[opussucks]

great song, ok version. the drummers overly dramatic facial expressions are annoying though.

[fenderacolyte]

where did you get this! is there some DVD of the "and all that could have been (still)" tracks????

[roseagain2]

Damn!

[Sappy22889]

Trent Reznor is so awsome hes like a kick ass Beethoven when he plays piano

[plague4life]

@Sappy22889 couldnt agree more

[Sicknessqc]

eh between 1:50 to 2:28

[Sicknessqc]

@reptile914 and ruiner29 : Because between 1:50 to 2:50 is not piano but a guitar...

[reptile914]

the guitar has nothing to do with what i just said. im refering to the piano still playing while trents hands arent even playing.

[roguestreak]

@reptile914 Probably using live loop recording, use a stomp-box to record a section then start it looping on demand, good for layering in live situations. Used to good effect live by the likes of Kaki King and Liam Finn.

[SkullOfPain]

This era was Trent in his prime.. He lost his scream after this...

[joejacktalcum]

I've heard this a hundred fucking times, and I still get chills when he screams and wood when he whispers

lol

[oklahomandn49]

this is from the 'still' cd, the accompanying cd to 'and all that could have been'

[ruiner29]

damn that was climatic. i suspect a looper in his piano,.. possibly controlled by a pedal on the piano....skills

[atomicwave]

@ruiner29 or some back up tracks or post production, lol

[reptile914]

im a huge NIN fan. always will be. great "LIVE" performance. or is it? this is prolly the most amazing acoustic version of any song i ever heard. but why is his piano still playing from 1:50 to 2:50 if both his hands are on the mic? hmmm :-\

[PeedroPaula]

DAMN! That is beyond amazing.

[rorymorris1]

My favorite version of this song, fuckin savage!

[thescarface1989pt4]

anyone know where i can download these still videos???

[fenderacolyte]

i want the entire session

[Biglg69]

AWEFUCKINGSOME

[scumballina]

Fucking incredible. End of story.

[aschen]

getting sober did a number on him... he looks older in this than he does now...

[zeedog14]

yea you can can their CD called "Still"

it has this preformance on it!

[mjkfreak1]

This is absolutely ridiculous...The band kicks ass here once again. His scream melts me in places of much interest. I love you Trent.

[bartonfinkinNY]

amazing,,,, whew, sweating here

[rockerfaerie]

I LOVE THIS COMMENT STREAM

NIN FANS RULE

0,o

the non trent worshipers but YAY NIN FANS

[netscion]

this is by far one of the best live performances of any song I have ever heard. What a talented fucker :p

[NINphomaniac80]

Once again I can't help but think, if only I could be that mic, trent would grab me hard and put his mouth all over me..it won't give up it wants me dead, goddam this noise inside my head

[TheDucktapeAlchemist]

I know... his mics are lucky...

sometimes...

once he wipped one at a drummer's head live... O_O

[erikplayspiano]

it wasn't a mic...it was a mic stand. It hit Jerome dillon in the head, poor guy. But he finished the set one handed while holding a bloody towel to his skull. Wish? March of the Pigs? Just watch "closure"

[aschen]

he hit chris vrenna. jerome wasn't in the band yet back then. they were playing Sin.

[aaalax26]

Wow that was amazing

[coleseidl]

Trent Reznor... Making the grand piano the most badass instrament ever, since 1987.

[TheDucktapeAlchemist]

Ai'nt that the truth?

xD

[oneznzeroz]

@coleseidl

You're right. I used to think the piano was kinda boring then I found NIN many years ago. I suddenly realized that it was a bad ass instrument if u use it right.

[AmericanPoetMorrison]

this is so odd to watch...

[LLMelvinL]

Free at last !
