Nine Inch Nails: March Of The Pigs (1994)

[EXPcustom]

He did the video in one take. I am so glad my Mom let me go see them during the Downward Spiral tour in 1994 when I was barely 15.

[Drummydrum]

Current music does not compare.

[xXkiLLeDD0LLx3]

the make-up chick at 1:35....is that Tina from the Closer Making-Of?! oO

[unravellingboots]

Trent's hair is the best hair any boy can have.

[WakizashiSabre]

Or maybe stylist hehe

[Amouthfulofsin220]

This video always provides a couple of belly laughs for me - He's slamming into everything and everyone like a puppy that hasn't been housebroken yet...

He's not anywhere *near* perfect, but he's a gorgeous creature, ain't he?

By the way, why didn't any of the other guys get the powderpuff lady's attention?...they deserve to be prettified too.

[roarlike]

I will always thank my mother for raising me to this, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Type O Negative. ;D Cheers mum!

[JesusTerminator]

What would NIN be today if Trent was still high? I wonder.

[haaayz]

I wish I wasn't 6 years old in 1994 :(

So fucking awesome.

[markmccool]

The Whole album was recorded in Roman Polansky's house. thats part of the reason TDS came together the way it did

[TheNineinchsnails]

i might be dead rong..but i heard something bout this video taking place in the past house of roman and sharon tate. or is dat another video by nin or not at all ?

[bhikku23]

I think he actually lived there when he was working on this album. I used to have a Rolling Stone where he was interviewed about Lost Highway, and I think that's what he said.

[WickedGame066]

That's the Gave Up video I believe.

[TheNineinchsnails]

oh thx...i always wondered y trent wood make gave up music video in such a suburban place if u look at his videos from broken it just doesnt add up

[StZombie23]

That's Gave Up dude.... it even features Marilyn Manson...

[TheChimi18]

yes, he is........

[robotsant77]

thats what i heard but it was on the gave up video

[HTFAmvs]

I love how at 1:20 how Trent says "Take the skin and peel it back" and then when he's about to say "Doesn't it make you feel better?" you see light on his face. lol.

[JesusTerminator]

Grr the album version didn't have pig squeals

[Agnarian]

how can you not love a 29/8 time signature?!?!?! How they were able to keep up with that is beyond talent!!!!

[moenep]

the song is not in 29/8. that implies every measure has 29 eighth notes in it. the measures alternate. three measures of 7/8 and one 8/8 (every four measures has 29 eighth notes). yes ninwiki says 29/8 but that is technically wrong.

[KKoRnFreaKK]

Ninwiki says it and so does Rock Band loading screens lol.

[Lizzaly]

Is there anything hotter than 1990's Trent Reznor?

He's like a sexy Severus Snape.

[lvampira]

I remember buying this album on cassette...and tearing the shit outta my room! just going freakin' nuts...but NIN got sooo huge with that album that EVERYONE and their mothers were jammin to "Closer.:...that sucked!

[digitalhell1]

damn this song still gets me WIRED. It makes me so nostalgic and I used to play the drum beat on my set over and over until I had it down perfect. I miss the 90's so much. But I still listen, even today.

[TheCornholio713]

nnnnntsssss ntsss ntsss ntsss ntssss

[DangerStepp]

Trent is a hockey mask short of the Rocketeer costume.

[95Electronic]

Somone tell me how old is trent here

[Shad0wz69]

mid 20's

[Shad0wz69]

young drugged up trent was fucking badass!

[Mokurentate]

hells yeah!

[deathbygamecube]

wow such energy

[CrossCentaur]

OHH i like trenty WHOOO!!! Bauud Bouyy! hehe!

[PhearPhate]

No...that is young Trent being calm, actually.

[pwndatwhiteboy]

fuckin hardcore

[lingojac]

been a nin fan for 9001 centuries now, but i'm still surprised how different trent looks now compared to then.. modern trent looks more like this trent's uncle more than this trent 15 years later

[BoobooTheOwl]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Reznor looks like a different person... not just an older version of his former self. And Robin Finck looks mostly the same, interestingly, without the black cloth stylins ,of course.

[bekerly]

Modern uncle Trent is hotter than Trent 15 years ago. Yummm. Age has been kind to him.

[narutoabridgedfan18]

so are you trying to say present trent looks like 1994 trent's uncle

[lingojac]

that's right

[legnasin]

who the hell are you to say shit about his microphone? Thats what makes it so damn bad ass!

[Diamondproductions66]

masterpiece

[m4lign4nt]

One of my most favorite songs with an equally badass video.

[xxxhens]

I liked the last band, but yeah, I'd love to see the Fragility set all back together, whatever the fuck happened with Jerome. Never want to see Trent back on heroine, tho... just the soft stuff, eh? Just to take the edge of, eh? Just a little bit, eh? I think he's losing it -- don't like the smell of it. Can't wait for a comeback, when the time is right...

[IntractableJ]

I learned for the first time today, that The Downward Spiral and Superunknown were released on the same day.

March 8th, 1994.

[IntractableJ]

That is one of the greatest days in musical history.

[ToOlOGT22]

cool, the drummer uses an electric pedal for the slow part

[johndoebob69]

Trent, I don't really know how to soften the news buddy, but you could have retired years ago if you had saved all of that microphone and keyboard money.

[feketepacsirta]

I agree..Long hair was the best for him

[catchewer]

Long-haired Trent is hottest

[tkpadilla]

I would insult jezebel with comment I was going to make about your makeup.

[March3Yahoo]

This song has such clever songwriting. I don't know too much about music but I can tell that this is a talented songwriter.

[obscureface]

2:56 falcon punch!!!!!!!!!

[loganalexa]

This was the first NIN video I ever saw, and I was like "damn, who is this sexy man?? I want some of that" And then I realized that all of his music was awesome too!! Wonderful!!

[jassiMC]

the F

[NpKTURKEY]

LOL he scares me in this video

[yunikage]

rammstein rammstein rammstein

[markmccool]

Please don't mention Rammstein Nazis in the vicinity of NIN again....

[RunToTheLight1986]

Rammstein are not Nazis. A FEW of their fans are nazis.

[yunikage]

fuck yeah 7/8 time!

incidentally, rammstein's video for "keine lust" features an homage to trents mic throwing

[muzakfreak]

10000000000000/5 stars???

I love this video long time

[gewmonster]

yeah fuck the mic!

[darthjack11]

im not a big fan of nine inch nails but isnt the guitar sorta really out of sync with the druums? i dono

[condemned75]

No. It isn't. :)

[pwettylittlefing]

no it's soposed to be like that, it sounds out of time but they're not :)

[pioughd87]

Off camera, there's a giant box labelled "microphones" that they bought at costco

[xManchildx365x]

who was that chick @ 1:42

[shagadelic215]

love this song

[sickosandsuch]

This is fucking brilliant. This is orchestrated punk, ordered chaos where no matter how much you fuck shit up it will be arranged that you sound perfect.

[mickeyboy1a]

you aint gonna gain any points for slagging NIN off tbh

[sickosandsuch]

Slagging? I fucking adore NIN, and this video. That was a complement.

[crazyedd123]

i wondered why the beat of the song was so awkward, it's in 7/8

it's like he went for a 4/4 piece but then just thought he'd knock abit off the end XD

[iammadedeath]

@crazyedd123:

Three bars 7/8, one bar 4/4. Repeat.

In effect 29/8.

Which is Michael Jackson's Birthday funnily enough.

[bog69bec91]

i mean hows does he do it

[bog69bec91]

does robin do that twanging noise at the start it sounds cool

[waxflag]

Trent Reznor It is one Machine Destroy

[MuskateerGripWeed]

this is the song that got me into the NiN,

.oh and the guitarists hair style I wore my long hair like that in High School ha ha.

eat shit principal skinner.

[ajpatter210]

Damn how long has Robin Finck been in the band?

[totlyepic]

According to Wikipedia, this is what his membership as a live member looks like:

Active: 19941995, 1999-2000, 2008present

[ajpatter210]

That's so awesome that he played guitar on TDS. I saw NIN at the Lights in the Sky show in San Antonio, and Finck was fucking shredding. He is such an amazing guitarist.

[totlyepic]

He didn't play guitar on TDS. Reznor is the only true member of NIN. Everyone else is a "live member". Reznor's credited with all instruments/vocals on TDS pretty much with the exception of Lohner being credited with some guitar stuff.

[iammadedeath]

@ajpatter:

He goes in and out depending on whether he's more pissed of with Trent than Axl Rose, Cirque du Soleil or whoever else he's worked with.

But I think he started touring with 'Nails after Downward Spiral came out, about 93/94-ish.

He's been playing alongside trent three of the four times I've seen NIN over the last fifteen years.

[robinfinckisgod]

His first stint started in 1994 for the TDS tour, known as the Self Destruct Tour, which went on until 96. He joined again for the fragile tours in 99 and finished in 2000. He was invited to join them for the With Teeth tour in 2005, but declined the place, which was eventually taken by Aaron North (North played the with teeth and year zero tours). In 2008, Finck finished with gnr and joined NIN again for the slip tour, known as the Lights In The Sky tour, and now on the wave goodbye tour.

[kmfdmkid2000]

Epic. Only word to describe this explosion of OMG I think I just came.

[Iraqveteran8888]

Reznor is having a very Jim Morrison-esque moment in the video. Classic....He's the real deal.

[philippeEmmanu]

the week i bought this album;a 15 year-old-kid was dropped, by his ankles,to his death

[TV616]

gotta love roadies and the never ending supply of mike stands

[ZarathustrasCrown]

lol me and my buddy always used to laugh at just HOW many times Reznor kicks the crap out of his stand, either chucking his mic or knocking the stand over...classic...

[1yellowapple]

I was 3 and I remember this haha that and enter sandman (was my first music memory haha)

1991 baby

[19911995]

Robin and Trent!

what a combo

[bostonkane]

fuck me sideways - I Was only 10/11 years old!!!!

[JornSlotboom]

when i was at the age of 4 my brother made me listen to this.. i will always thank him for that :)

[MG53895]

absolute classic.

[ny5280]

I got this album in 94, when i heard The Downward Spiral, i was hooked on this band and Trent Reznor right away, i was 14 then, i think i played this album every day for like a fucking year, after that i got Broken and Pretty Hate Machine, been a fan since, allways will be??

[donutboy53]

man this is awesome, see I wish there were more bands like this but no im stuck with shitty music to listen to...man I was born in the wrong fucking generation

[loganalexa]

You know donutboy53, I was in high school when this song came out, and at the time, I thought I was born in the wrong generation, but today when I listen to new music, it is almost all crap. Now, I am so glad I was a teenager in the 90's!! Grunge, REAL metal, and industrial-- all awesome in the 90's!! Wouldn't trade it for anything!!

[AutumnParanoia]

I'd trade anything to have been a teenager in the 90's instead of now, you're so lucky.

[timdavies90]

I know it sucks, I'm getting into all these amazing 90's bands right as they stop touring...

[UnknownShadow718]

Yeah, you finally find some good music, and then next thing you know, they might be separating, long hiatus, the stop of tours. It sucks.

[LICK5d]

Yah, music now blows comepared to then. I guess they are planning on doing another woodstock. And I was thinking, who is going to play because, there is no new and interesting bandS out. They all suck and sound the same. The 90's woodstock rocked, with NIN, AND PRIMUS! I mean who is going to play now, fall out boy! YUCK!

[eisenkreuzmusik]

we sure were, music was so damn good back then, today's mainstream blows ass

[loganalexa]

Honestly, Autumn, yes we were lucky. I'm just happy that there is still teenagers that enjoy real music! You guys give me hope that we are not completely lost. Spread the word!!

[sparkamnia]

Hell yeah man! I'm a teenager and this is my favorite band! I love every album and song! I've got a few friends who jam out to NIN with me. NIN FOR LIFE!

[LICK5d]

I TOTALLY FEEL YOU. I there is jnothing but crap out now. When I was in high school there was cool shit like this and primas, and rage, and nirvanna, and STP. But now there just ant shit, the last cool thing I herd come out was the white stripes. O

[sidchimaera]

yain't lyin', jack. stuff today is pure fucking garbage.

[marguipico]

I am a teenager in the wrong generation :(, I wanted to live in the 90's!

[Ch1ck3n5]

Ah, LOVE.

In the raw, full of energy. This is the best.

[AmnzeroUK]

this is music :)

[mtbpr]

AMEN...

[annrice2000]

I LOVE IT, FUCKING RAW NIN I remember when they first became somewhat of a big band instantly loved them! still do I'm a loyal fan to the end. TEARS are comin

[UDLock]

Why the hell would you post that in the official nin channel?

Tool is good, but I think "tool" is appropriate for most of the fans

[fuqimgrimsey]

blasphemy. go post on some tool vids if you like them so fucking much

[Plur307]

When it comes to great music why do people have to rank everything? Tool and NIN both are awesome. After that who cares?

[Walkingart82834]

BEST BAND EVER!

[mehico33]

intensity like only a madman can deliver, this guy is a beast. i get so psyched up listening to nin, cheers trent i put on 20 kgs of muscle in one year because of you lol

[bostonkane]

I wish I could let go like that

[rob5000x1]

you can! just do a lot of coke and tequilla lol

[bloodisthenewblack1]

the song is good just a wierd drum beat

[darkangel294]

how can i put the И

???

[Sonny91601]

Raw, Trent Reznor still in his prime. Awsome video.

[fuji113]

NIИ!

[ozael24]

ROCK N ROLL

[MrSeanhalket]

This is good. I do prefer NIN's slower stuff.

[Bit3Mee]

So incredibly HOT.

[CreatureCore7]

This is one Raw video... I'm sure it's not, but it looks a bit like Jeordie White on the gold Gibson.

[pinstripe666]

Thats THE GOD Charlie Clouser!

[lloydsaddiction]

dude, i thought the same thing when i watched the vid for the first time. but i guess its not him... whatch this guys face, it seems like jeordie's, but its not.

[Caseus]

lol, how many mics ha he got? love the energy in this video!

[katelynstardust]

I'm obsessed

[bigredmarx]

same here.

[kav10101]

In 31 days i'll be battling to get as close to this Man as possible. He truly puts his heart and soul into his game, and i respect and admire him for that.

And it also helps that he turns me on something chronic too. Sarah xx

[AsheyaLalintoth]

The way Trent throws down the mic at the end. = Hot.

[MinnowBelcher]

The make up woman had an intimate moment with Trent, for all us to watch if you can see it.

[TheGoIsWin21]

I'm still trying to figure out what was going on there...

[MrWulf360]

STEP RIGHT UP!!!

Trent dont retire please!

[mabooshi14]

sorry i ment to say there alot like NIN lol

[mabooshi14]

NIN 4EVER oh theres this band called showbread they are alot like showbread in some there music if you peeps want to chek them out theres a song called the dirt its on my page chek it out if you want

[danielhl22]

i miss Danny Lohner in nin and Charlie Clouser and Jerome Dillon and Aaron North and Chris Vrenna and Jeff Ward and Chris Wooley and Alex Carapetis and Jeordie White and Josh Freese and Alessandro Cortini. I wish they made a live dvd where all of this wonderful musicians play it would be cool if they separate the show by ''eras'' and the musicians of each era!!!!!!! would be awesome

[deadcellsociety]

Agreed,but would be a little difficult since Jeff Ward is no longer a part of this world....may he rest in peace...

[StarInvasion]

awsome

[Stefmanovic]

Hmm, ever since I saw that video on Beavis & Butthead I just miss their comments on this version of the video!

[Hmm200]

I think he does coke at like 1:42

[OliverKick]

lol

[loekust]

LMAO

[xinadeath]

Trent Fuckin Reznor : FTW!

[ppp198524]

trent does and plays pretty much all

[polistyrenejassband]

i do shine my pants

[Dilly250515]

This was there best line up ever. Sux it didn't last long with all of them. Still was great to see NIN's last tour with Robin back in the band. Him and Trent rock on the same stage

[nerohardy222]

nine inch nails for life.keep screwing the system trent.

[syoaran931]

omg hes drunk

[CassielWinchester]

this is how i feel on the inside XD

[ajbaker130]

sexy beast ;]

[DeusExNull]

I'm going to grow my hair like Reznor's.

[lifedeath08]

Trent is the fucking Man!!!!!!!!!

Long Live NIN!

[zxcvbnm5111]

Your a talentless 'turd' who listens to shit music >> back off the reznor

[nazsh11]

its ok hdje is entitled to his opinion even if its wrong. besides i think he is just trolling.

[hdje39m8]

Trent Reznor is a talentless terd that hasnt written any good songs

[Corpse969]

You're saying Reznor is talentless? He wrote all the songs by himself and he plays all the instruments and if you have nothing to do other than bitch about musicians you don't like on their music videos you are in desperate need of a social life!

[syoaran931]

well besides drums XD or was that just the first album?

[Corpse969]

I'm not sure if it was just the first album or not. But I was told that Reznor plays all the instruments himself.

[MagellansUnderwear]

unless otherwise credited in the cd jackets, Trent plays all of the music for the studio recordings. seeing a live NIN show is a completely different experience from a studio recording. equally amazing, but different.

[gundambob646]

so true, its like how trent wants to keep things fresh by bring in new members for his live band, hes looking for different ways to express his music. but i have to say thing KEEP ROBIN!! FOREVER!! lol also +1 magellansunderwear

[wheleerz]

yeah trent should keep robin and bring back danny whenever he starts touring again

[stevicrow]

suck my dick he does all the work himself. when you write master etc 15 albums and do better than u can talk. untill then stop talking besides i cant understand you with my dick in your mouth

[RockFanatic319]

Out of all the music I've heard, there are some people that actually put their minds and heart into their music and you're looking at one of those people.

[Dougieroar]

So true, some of his music (especially the remixes) were terrible, but he acknowledges that. His good music is just so fucking good though

[zxcvbnm5111]

i love how he just throws shit down lol

[zxcvbnm5111]

me too xD..bad ass song :)

[TLDBFH]

this was made when i was born lol

[bmci963159]

haha me too

[DTfanforever]

wow ur young lol

[ROBOTWORKMAN]

YES IT IS....CLASSIC VIDEO.
