I saw this tour with Severed Heads as the opening act and it was incredible. Puppy started the show in a huge inflatable trash bag that looked like an embryo and then he slashed his way out of it--there was just fog and a back-lit screen that showed really spooky videos. I don't think it was the '88 tour. It was the "Mind" tour . . . one of the best shows I've ever seen!!!
Even though I like NIN and a lot of other industrial bands, I've never really gotten why people like Skinny Puppy so much. The music is great, but the vocals are abysmal. Sure, I get that they're pioneers and all, but they just don't do it for me.
@schepler2 I've always been a nine inch nails fan, skinny puppy is good too, but I notice people that like them hate nin which is funny cause I dont hate skinny puppy.
@Malliebearbat Back when this was actually coming out, most people who liked one liked both. However many people began to resent the fact that NIN got so much more popular when basically they are a watered down combo of Skinny Puppy and Ministry, both of whom came first, are more original and generally superior.
I've always loved NIN, but I can face the fact that Trent basi ally borrowed heavily from both, lightened it up for the masses and started to print money after that.
@vsander09 I wouldn't call "the Downward Spiral" light and I believe it's a better album than anything Skinny Puppy have produced yet. I like both bands but constantly reading this type of bollox putting down NiN is annoying. It doesn't make you cool or hardcore.
@Deesade86 No one here is trying to pose as hardcore or cool. Many actually just don't like NIN as much as SP. Sorry, but people besides you are allowed to have opinions too. And where exactly did I put NIN down? I just said what they did, which is accurate. No matter how you slice it, guitar rock was way more mainstream than SP at that time.
@schepler2 The vocals were the main thing, guy. They are unique and unlike all of the other "monster" voice industrial bands who copied them for 20 years. Also the lyrics are epic compared to the straightforward angst of NIN. Ogre's lyrics were like twisted stream-of-consciousness poetry unlike anything else ever done before or after,
Bottom line: If you don't get their lyrics and vocals then you are pretty fake as an industrial fan. Stick to the pop-dustrial.
@FawkesNation because some fans are just purist assholes that wanna act like everything they listen to is original aka theyre the goth kids in southpark.
but imho, you can definitely hear Skinny Puppy's (as well as Ministrys) influence in NINs material
betcha like that? if you don't its because the police of HOUSTON'S DEPARTMENT hasn't even filled you the butt fuck in. clueless well grab a canine tooths. Sign literally says No Hillbillys Allowed. are you a honky or are you a nigger? Barack is the original nigga who relies on faith. texas is from texas.
anyone know who directed this video? it has the same split screen effect used in Meat Beat Manifesto's "I Got The Fear" and Nine Inch Nails "Down In It"...the editing is also similar to the style used in Ministry's "Flashback" and "Stigmata" vids...just wondering
skinny puppy... the Pink Floyd of industrail sound....i say this, cuz of the complex lyrics very cleverly reinforced....new album due 2011 fall....I CANT WAIT!!!! It's called "HanDover" yes all one word as 2?
@crazytrain58 EMO? Skinny Puppy? What don't you kids just name everything from late 70's to the early 2000's emo?

@err0r While the banner has since been replaced with a Tegan and Sarah, I can't help but I disagree with your assumption of Ladytron. While they are a different style, both bands are incredible.
They have done nothing to garner the distaste of Industrial fans, Ladytron has even tried their hand at Industrial music in the past. They've done shows and videos dressed in military uniforms and have included all sorts of dark, mechanical symbolism in their work.
@8KingFisher A heart GUFFAW at your suggestion that dressing in military outfits and exploiting 'dark, mechanical symbolism' has anything to do with innovation. But thanks for your reasonable response to my otherwise obnoxious initial post.
@err0r I never said it was innovation; all I'm saying is that that despite their appearance, Ladytron's style is closer to Industrial music then most people realize. They're actually one of my favorite bands (in a top three with Skinny Puppy and EN), which is why I felt it was necessary to speak up when I read your comment.
I am, however, glad you appreciate civil discourse.

@crazytrain58 That's funny because the unorginal trash pop that is "Emo" didn't even exist in the 80s -_-. Skinny puppy has never had and never well have anything remotely in common with "Emo". So either you don't know shit about music or your fucking trolling.

@GarrettMikel Selling out is going to a club and you can't hop on stage and play your music due to record company owns your shit.Sell Out.anyway Skinny Puppy Rules
The best part of Skinny Puppy was the fact they were funded by the Canadian Govt. arts program! Can't beat that. The are they sickest. Can't top them.
Lol all the Skinny Puppy fans hating on Trent Reznor, it's kinda funny. Skinny Puppy had their influences just like Trent did. Trent had synth pop, industrial, classic rock, etc. Skinny puppy had their influences, TG, metal, electronic, etc. A lot of Industrial guys had their start in synthpop, IE Ministry and Trent. It just seems to me like what always happens when, in a community of artists, one becomes popular, and the fans of the others are understandably pissed and jealous. Enjoy both.
@seanthedonconsidine people are pissed because they havent got the proper recognition they rightfully deserve. Im sure we are happy that groups like NIN made it big, Trent isnt a dick (although he can act like one at times) who doesnt deserve his fame, he worked hard for it, but guys like Ogre and Skuppy deserve much more attention then they get. not saying they should be filling huge stadiums, their music isnt for everyone, but still, i think you get what i mean...
@hellchild65 Of course, your frustration is understandable. First everyone can act like a dick, I act like a dick all the time, I don't hold that against Trent: I know he's human.
Ogre and Skuppy deserve fame yes, but not many get it. As I said, in a community of artists, one usually rises above the others and acquires fame and recognition. Do you think Shakespeare was the only great writer of his day? No, of course there were others, but he's the only one remembered. It's an unfortunate reality
@suckitup1983 You mean NIN sounds like Skinny Puppy. NIN made "Down in it" by ripping off this song. (While I love both bands) Skinny Puppy was the originator (one of the rare, most creative and innovative bands in existence) and they deserve all credit.
SKINNYPUPPY <---GANDDADYS, all the others follow suit! such as NIN, Manson, Ministry and frontline assembly, these all made some of the best industrial music ever made...but it started with the puppy...hats off to you all that love this music!!
Everyone talks about how Down In It sounds like this song, but NIN's "The Big Come Down" sound more like this tune (at least in the percussion department)
@elmarlo222 I must say, you are correct. That section of the SP video at 1:23 i think is the closest to what Jay-Z has in his song. Heard the JZ song a few times before but never heard the connection.
If you guys want the full version of Ain't it Dead Yet with the audio fixed go to downunderground.blogspot.com/2010/02/skinny-puppy-aint-it-dead-yet-87-vhs.html
We should be proud of NIN, Manson, etc. Because they're being influenced by the right bands. As long as we have artists being inspired by other great artists, we have great music! And the more influence Skinny Puppy has, the less shit we'll get, like Justin Beiber and all that manufactured pop/rap rubbish that's on the radio today. I salute NIN and Skinny Puppy!
@peteagassi nin never coloborated with a sellout rapper like mm did wiht eminem, mm is an embaressment...though i will say as a nin fan, nin really never gave any respect to sp, kinda lame..
@TheNineinchsnails Trent stated, himself, that the original version of Down In It was admittedly a rip off of this song. He has also mentioned in other interviews that he liked SP.
@peteagassi Proud of crap and more crap? Why are we even comparing NIN with skinny puppy???????????? NIN could never dream of being what puppy is. Trent is garbage.
@DanceTheSpears Trent is garbage? Wtf r u 12 yrs old? You can say you prefer one act over another, and one type of music over another, whatever, etc, but saying someone, particularly someone as talented as reznor, is garbage just makes you sound like pissy 12 yr old net-trash brat. What's hilarious these bands and artists roll their eyes at morons like you and these others jerks around here acting like ignorant, overly-opinionated morons.
@777Luth Correction: Actually, praising Trent makes YOU sound like the pissy adolescent, here. Anyone with common sense, good taste and a working knowledge of technical talent could plainly see that SP is FAR SUPERIOR NIN. Keep on sucking Trent's cock, fanboy. He loves attention. XD
@peteagassi The ironic thing is that I saw Skinny Puppy in 1988 at City Gardens in Trenton, NJ. There was an opening band. They sucked. It was one guy singing and another playing drums and guitar. They had a reel-to-reel tape player on the stage as well. They sounded like bad synth-pop that was trying too hard to sound hard. After they were done, I thought, "that was the worst band I ever saw" I couldn't wait for Skinny Puppy. Oh yeah, the opening act was NIN, before Pretty Hate Machine.
@gangurobitch Not at the same time, he kept the guitar on his back and would switch back an forth between that and the drums. If he was playing both at that same time, I might have been impressed.
@gmcg923 Yeah, nails was really pop oriented until PHM. If you listen to the purest feeling demos it's almost all of the same songs that are on PHM but they sound way too synth pop and suck really hard.
@gmcg923 Dude, Skinny Puppy and Nine Inch Nails at the same concert. No matter how Nine Inch Nails was panned for that act as an opening band, you are very, very, very, very lucky to see that.
@GarrettMikel I wouldn't say Manson sold out at all guy, his music just isnt in the Industrial area anymore, which isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as he carries it well and puts on a good live show. and his last live tour blew big mexican balls! that being said, I think NIN's last 2 records were complete and utter shit, but the live show is still good... But SP still makes awesome music and put on some grade A performances! the best of the three!
@evilfuzz86 idk, Ministry and Skinny Puppy are tied imo, even though ministry kinda got way too thrash metal for my tastes in the middle of last decade, they both are sick groups!
@MechanicalDoom9 :-P Trent has admitted more than once that Down In It was "strongly influenced" by this song, and I'm sure you can hear the similarities to other tracks on Pretty Hate Machine, like the ghostly voice 3/4s of the way through. It's just like the one in Sanctified.

From Wiki - Trent Reznor also acknowledged that Skinny Puppy's "Dig It" inspired the very first Nine Inch Nails track written that became the first hit song, "Down in It" There you go. Get off TR's teet and realize that Skinny Puppy really truly were the originators of this sound. Even your false prophet says so.
@franklopez1025 manson is a poser, by calling nin a poser is hella noob just cause nin came after sp and they played a lower tone of industrial doesnt make them posers... Sp did that also to throbbing gristle its called passing the torche your just a rook to industrial music, gtfo you noob
@TheNineinchsnails reznor is a unoriginal douche. EVERY "single" that hes released was stolen from someone else. throbbing gristle and skinny puppy did u se some of the same samples, but cevin and ogre were given permission. reznor only had permission to use maybe three SP samples, everything else he ripped off and took to the mainstream as his own. totally sounds like a poser to me, and since your name is "the NIN" i would say your a noob, if you consider trent to be industrial.
@ohgr919 he is if anything industrial rock, your an idiot they never got permission neither did NIN your making assumptions. Sp was a watered down more mainstream than tg, nin was more watered down and mainstream than sp, Marilyn Manson is a more watered down more mainstream version of nin. TG was underground, sp was on mtv, nin was at W.Stock. MM is making songs with eminem, they all have levels and you have to appreciate it rather than be hater.
@TheNineinchsnails i appreciate originality. two groups being in the same genre hardly makes them some ridiculous genetic copy as you so ignorantly suggest. and fuck assumptions i know exactly what im talking about. pigface, sp, fuck even the revolting cocks shared samples and did shows featuring members of each other groups. trent reznor also participated in a few of these, but he also used their samples, lyrics, track titles, and called it his own. he's a shiesty no talent fuck.
@ohgr919 are you saying he called suck his own song, are you saying he called dead souls his own song, he was part of the industrial community, idk wtf you are talking about they even asked nivek if there has been any long term grudge on either side and he said distension on either side. I really feel you have your own troll feelings cuz he took some samples, Every band has and idk the info you are getting saying he took all the credit.
@ohgr919 you guys are just really funny. who cares. NIN be used as a gateway to skinny puppy. i found about skinny puppy like this marilyn manson, trent reznor and then skinny puppy. yes this song shares similarities to down it. even the name.
its funny how if they aired this on mtv today kids would not understand wtf that was, its funny how people think as we progress our perception of what is disturbing changes, but i can say this band was disturbing when they came out, they are disturbing today and they will be disturbing in 2050
Why do all Industrial muscians hate each other? i mean can't Manson , Nivek and Reznor sit at a bar and buy each other beers. They did all go on and become successful muscians...I Love all three of em.
@MrZigxx I really wouldnt call manson Industrial/industrial rock anymore though, hes kind of moved into the alternative side of music. shame too, hes got NIN's old drummer/keyboardist you think he would utilize him more then he did last record...
A Skinny Puppy show is like a gift on Christmas day that you wanted all of your life. AMAZING. Beyond that, even.
Check out BREAK ME on our site. This is not spam, but good music....music like you like if you are here, only gets promoted if I do it my damn self. You won't see radio helping me anytime soon.
I finally got a chance to see Ogre in Repo: A Genetic Opera, and he;s far more complex than I had imagined. Skinny Puppy is a third of the seminal Industrial Trinity. Thanks for preparing a path less trodden for me boys....
@Rents66 If you believe the latter then you totally missed the point, Skinny Puppy hardly needs to "get" street cred... the whole point was that a cult can be started by anyone and it was a symbol for another cult that exists today. You also seemed to miss the point of publicity. Albums don't sell themselves and if you think bands make music for free then you are not living in the real world.
I saw this tour with Severed Heads as the opening act and it was incredible. Puppy started the show in a huge inflatable trash bag that looked like an embryo and then he slashed his way out of it--there was just fog and a back-lit screen that showed really spooky videos. I don't think it was the '88 tour. It was the "Mind" tour . . . one of the best shows I've ever seen!!!

@elmarlo222 I must say, you are correct. That section of the SP video at 1:23 i think is the closest to what Jay-Z has in his song. Heard the JZ song a few times before but never heard the connection.

great track. i can definitely see how trent was influenced by this song and skinny puppy as a whole.
RandomHero5677 10 months ago
We should be proud of NIN, Manson, etc. Because they're being influenced by the right bands. As long as we have artists being inspired by other great artists, we have great music! And the more influence Skinny Puppy has, the less shit we'll get, like Justin Beiber and all that manufactured pop/rap rubbish that's on the radio today. I salute NIN and Skinny Puppy!

@peteagassi The ironic thing is that I saw Skinny Puppy in 1988 at City Gardens in Trenton, NJ. There was an opening band. They sucked. It was one guy singing and another playing drums and guitar. They had a reel-to-reel tape player on the stage as well. They sounded like bad synth-pop that was trying too hard to sound hard. After they were done, I thought, "that was the worst band I ever saw" I couldn't wait for Skinny Puppy. Oh yeah, the opening act was NIN, before Pretty Hate Machine.

@GarrettMikel I wouldn't say Manson sold out at all guy, his music just isnt in the Industrial area anymore, which isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as he carries it well and puts on a good live show. and his last live tour blew big mexican balls! that being said, I think NIN's last 2 records were complete and utter shit, but the live show is still good... But SP still makes awesome music and put on some grade A performances! the best of the three!

@MechanicalDoom9 :-P Trent has admitted more than once that Down In It was "strongly influenced" by this song, and I'm sure you can hear the similarities to other tracks on Pretty Hate Machine, like the ghostly voice 3/4s of the way through. It's just like the one in Sanctified.

From Wiki - Trent Reznor also acknowledged that Skinny Puppy's "Dig It" inspired the very first Nine Inch Nails track written that became the first hit song, "Down in It" There you go. Get off TR's teet and realize that Skinny Puppy really truly were the originators of this sound. Even your false prophet says so.

TheNineinchsnails 1 year ago
@TheNineinchsnails reznor is a unoriginal douche. EVERY "single" that hes released was stolen from someone else. throbbing gristle and skinny puppy did u se some of the same samples, but cevin and ogre were given permission. reznor only had permission to use maybe three SP samples, everything else he ripped off and took to the mainstream as his own. totally sounds like a poser to me, and since your name is "the NIN" i would say your a noob, if you consider trent to be industrial.
ohgr919 1 year ago
@ohgr919 he is if anything industrial rock, your an idiot they never got permission neither did NIN your making assumptions. Sp was a watered down more mainstream than tg, nin was more watered down and mainstream than sp, Marilyn Manson is a more watered down more mainstream version of nin. TG was underground, sp was on mtv, nin was at W.Stock. MM is making songs with eminem, they all have levels and you have to appreciate it rather than be hater.
TheNineinchsnails 1 year ago
@TheNineinchsnails i appreciate originality. two groups being in the same genre hardly makes them some ridiculous genetic copy as you so ignorantly suggest. and fuck assumptions i know exactly what im talking about. pigface, sp, fuck even the revolting cocks shared samples and did shows featuring members of each other groups. trent reznor also participated in a few of these, but he also used their samples, lyrics, track titles, and called it his own. he's a shiesty no talent fuck.
ohgr919 1 year ago
@ohgr919 are you saying he called suck his own song, are you saying he called dead souls his own song, he was part of the industrial community, idk wtf you are talking about they even asked nivek if there has been any long term grudge on either side and he said distension on either side. I really feel you have your own troll feelings cuz he took some samples, Every band has and idk the info you are getting saying he took all the credit.

@Rents66 If you believe the latter then you totally missed the point, Skinny Puppy hardly needs to "get" street cred... the whole point was that a cult can be started by anyone and it was a symbol for another cult that exists today. You also seemed to miss the point of publicity. Albums don't sell themselves and if you think bands make music for free then you are not living in the real world.
