Nine Inch Nails - Memorabilia

[TheMetamaxNIN]

NIN is my favorite band, but this song is my least favorite.

[marinlabyrinth]

while listening to this, i heard a strange squeal behind me. i then got the sense that something hairy and sinister with razor sharp teeth was squatting under my bed.

i'm pretty sure it's just the music, because I don't want to think otherwise.

[JimmyGunz905]

I read that in the late 90's, imediate pre/post "The Fragile" that Reznor had become fascinated with dance music, house music, etc. Rolling Stone or something, I can't remember but I know I read it. This seems to lean in that vein of music, I can hear it.

[GunYou1]

THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MEMENTO...HAVE WE MET BEFORE?

[TheNightsMoon]

This song makes me paranoid... After hearing it, I thought that someone was watching the house, so I panicked and turned on all the lights and locked all the doors... Of course, nothing was there. lol

[WhoreAudio]

i love this, perfect sex music :P

[OlDirtyChef]

I hate when people think covers have to sound identical to the fucking original.

[StfuAndEatTheCorn]

This song was so ahead of its time. I've loved this song since the first time I heard it. Top 5 all time NIN songs.

[s3lf15h]

@StfuAndEatTheCorn You know it's a Soft Cell cover? You should probably go listen to the original, RIGHT NOW

[dbooyy1]

HE RECORDED DOWNWARD SPIRAL AT THE SHARON TATE HOME!!

[TheCreepsAreAlright]

@dbooyy1 Otherwise known as Le Pig Studios. I love the fact that this whole album has a dark, roomy feel to it. Maybe because of the atmosphere...

[dbooyy1]

@TheCreepsAreAlright ya and the fact that the albums song names are like relevent to the murders like the name pig smeared in the bedrooms or the fact its named the downward spiral which has been quoted as a manson saying.

[TheScorpio333]

great soft cell remake

[praxtron]

if you get scared by this, it's a sign.

kill yourself

[JesusCristo2002]

@praxtron - That shit isn't funny.

[praxtron]

@JesusCristo2002 people killing themselves over music? fucking comedy gold right there

[steven8807]

This song reminds me of sweaty e-tards and their drama at raves.

[DollfaceTX]

I love this song.

[OneNationUnderMe]

this song scared me so bad after a long day, that i actually listened to one of my brothers raps to get it out of my head O.o

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@OneNationUnderMe Hahahahahahhhahahhahaha

[projectnoel]

i love this song!

[toomanyrifts]

love thing beginning. "What do your nipples look like?" :D best loop ever.

[loismustdie231]

@madz714 Party music is still good for parties. However NIN is much more interesting artistically.

[OneNationUnderMe]

i squished the headphones to my ears and heard the most fucked up voices and words

[awake352]

@OneNationUnderMe

That's how NIN works, man.

[OneNationUnderMe]

@awake352 i know that lol

[SHAWNWILD1]

TRENT REZNOR & MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN, COREY TAYLOR & JONATHON DAVIS are the best ever, especially the first 2 artists...........

[skithness]

My nipples look like milk duds.

[JesusTerminator]

call it a cover, but this is a huge takeoff from the original.

[Sportbilly121]

is a great song ... original is better though

[linkinaddict01]

genius. i love it. i used to not be a fan of NIN and then I just started listening to them more...

Trent is one of the most influential people in the music business, if not the most influential.

[TBLO1976]

For me this is one of NINs best tunes, always was and always will, perverse and funky...

[rocksinoo]

I love their electro works ! Go check Nine Inch Nails "Ghosts" ! Pure gold

[Ne0Frame]

What do your nipples look like?

[FerrariBoy9100]

This song can also be found on the album 'Closer To God'

[steven8807]

The dark side of the Rave scene.

[IntergalacticFetus99]

@steven8807 Lol please don't call NIN rave music. Ravers are so fucking retarded. They can take their plur bullshit and shove it up their asses.

[CrazySaiko]

@IntergalacticFetus99 industrial.. whatever lol

[steven8807]

@IntergalacticFetus99 I'm not calling NIN rave music...did you read me typing that? Hell no! I'm just saying it reminds me of the darker side of the rave scene...look at it in your terms rather than attacking...

[IntergalacticFetus99]

@steven8807 HEY HEY HEY JUST CALM DOWN ASS HOLE

[steven8807]

@IntergalacticFetus99 ?

[bolmsp]

awesome !!!

[BondSlave101]

I think the only thing I don't like about NIN is that their openings GO ON FOREVER! Guh.

[steve98989]

@BondSlave101 They aren't meant to be radio friendly in that, they are meant to be listened to. You need to feel the emotion and appreciate the sound, regardless of the song.

[Problembeing]

Is this meant to be a cover of Soft Cell? Oh dear :/

[JordMcDrummer]

what do your nipples look like?

[laptopboone]

@JordMcDrummer They look like nipples! Mine are really small, actually.

[undertow7676]

trent is just a pure misucal GENIUS

[batman53092]

dance to this....3 in the morning .....doing once dance movement...

[CCtjehh]

I am very badly in love with this song (:

[KKHKISHZKH]

Interesting. I hadn't heard this one. Ooh, what a beat.... could put that to some good use... ;)

[shad0wMata]

Trent Reznor.....that's all I can say about this song. TRENT FUCKIN REZNOR!

[sox12321]

wait, someone called soft cell the best band ever? lmao

[myfreetime123]

I can see why this has been rumored as being used as torture music.

[rist98]

@myfreetime123 play atleast 4 songs from the album downward spiral atonce...^^ thats some good torture^^

[KedViper]

@myfreetime123 The Sesame Street theme song was also used for torture, I heard.

[myfreetime123]

@KedViper that's kinky

[KedViper]

@myfreetime123 No, I mean it was a government thing, hehe.

[DEMchannel]

@myfreetime123 "In other news, prison guards at abu Ghraib were baffled today as all prisoners interned there simultaneously broke out in uncontrollable headbanging."

[Brunnhilde1000]

@myfreetime123 Yes, that makes perfect sense for me.

[MrEspaillat]

dude,seriously shut the fuck up and get out of here if you dont like nine inch nails.why are you here?

[myfreetime123]

@MrEspaillat Lol you must have had a reading comprehension fail. Are you dyslexic? Because you completely misunderstood my intentions.

[davidfflick]

@myfreetime123 Rumored?

[skydom57]

i just addded this to my new playlist dub'd "relaps"

[InSingularity]

@myfreetime123 What you do is you tie someone to a chair. Then you make a stereo mix of this song where one side is slightly out of sync with the other side. Then you put some good stereo headphones on them and play that mix. Real quiet.

[isaacnelson1234]

@myfreetime123 it was in Guantanamo bay but it is no longer used there today

[avelione]

I think it's waaay better than the original. I discovered recently that some original songs can be covered in a way they sound as created by the covering artist.

[colonelsanta]

@avelione The original sucks cuz he starts rapping. Stupid idea that Trent clearly fixed.

[retroEddz]

i fucking hate when people are like, "YAY, NIN CUD ONLY WRITE A SONG LIKE THIS" when in reality the REAL BEST BAND EVER: SOFT CELL were the original artists, their version is so much better!! give it a listen fuck buckets

[shapetwist]

soft cell made this sound amazing - reznor made it sound pretty sweet in his own style too

[Mertule93]

totally addictive song♥

[abutterfly1287]

This is much better than soft cells original version. Trent Reznor is a musical genius.

[Boowey116]

only Trent can make a song about collecting keychains awesome

[Lynafleder]

@Boowey116 Weeeell, he didn't make it, it's a cover of Soft Cell! XD ...and a bloody great one! OuO

[retroEddz]

@Boowey116 DUMB ASS. HE DIDNT WRITE IT

[DahaktheDragon]

Now that I think about it this kind of sounds like HTDA style.

[starstruckstarfuck]

great cover!

[metalgearcolin75]

"What do your nipples look like?" - Robin Finck

[maddash24seven]

Haters don't know about my Memorabilia.

[1yellowapple]

soft cell cover :P

[Boowey116]

... seven minutes? lol talk about devotion, for Trent to whip out a 7 minute song.

[royalnash]

its ok it aint all that the other disc had like 4 better songs than this maybe 5 or 6

[royalnash]

how could you think a song is the worst and then love it you dont know what you like. if you were good at picking out music you would have heard the genius of it with your first listen dummy

[Blade3327]

@royalnash Actually, most NIN songs take a few listens to get into. Not saying there aren't plenty that are fantastic the first time around, but even the weirdest ones can start seeming awesome with each play.

[colonelsanta]

@royalnash A lot of my absolute favorite songs are songs I didn't like at first. Not that I didn't hate them, just they never caught my attention.

[f0sin]

i always keep coming back here

[Karolinger]

I have never heard this song before. It's so different. Very cool!

[Blade3327]

Memorabilia... memorabilia... memorabilia...

[davestheman83]

move over soft cell!

[Nihilanth1982]

does anyone know whats being said by the background voices? like a group of guys talking about something. could swear part of it sounded like 'no, i mean..' towards the end

[steven8807]

@Nihilanth1982

Something tells me they're talking about sex..."I put on the rubber..."

that part gives the whole conversation away...I think. I'm not sure to be honest with you.

[letsgoforajoyride]

@steven8807 hes talking about all the girls he fucks and the ones he doesnt wherever he goes, and they all give him sort of perverted memorabilia, i have never been there i have never had you, icant, give me a reminder, i need a reminder Memorabiliaaaaaa...

[TheHevquip]

i think this is one of the few songs that is a better cover than the original and though it may have originally been a Soft Cell song, the lyrical content is quite fitting for Trent and his ol' Nine Inch Nails touch.

[guil1214]

awesome as hell!!!!!! i loved it the first time i heard it.

[TheAtomic1234321]

WHOA that talking at 3:00. I thought someone was in my room. Holy shit

[Commander311]

@TheAtomic1234321 the first time i heard this(after smoking a bowl) i heard that talking and i about flipped shit. but now i love every second of this song.

long live NIN

[JonPL]

@TheAtomic1234321

Nice audio ;)

[emptik]

with NIN music just make sense, i can't wait to see what's next

[offtothekhole]

this is deep fucking shit!!! listen beyond the music...it will tell you something NIN fan since 1994 \M/ collect or reject!

[Trivialnights]

Anyone who thinks cullyvan is a faggit, thumb me up.

HAHAHAHHA!

[TheAPC91]

@Trivialnights You got my "Thumb" ^^ lol

[f0sin]

lowflame is low

kthxbye

[TheAPC91]

@cullyvan Made on Fruity Loops????? Im sorry...But you are really fucking retarded dude !

[TheAPC91]

@cullyvan WHERE DO YOU CAN HEAR LOOPS IN THIS ??? ITS PRODUCED ! I DONT THINK THAT AN ARTIST LIKE TRENT REZNOR, IS USING LOOPS ! Whatever...

[FunkyHonkyCDXX]

@cullyvan Did Protools even exist in 1994?

[Hobbyist56]

@FunkyHonkyCDXX since 1989 actually

[FunkyHonkyCDXX]

@Hobbyist56 Learn something new every day.

[cullyvan]

@FunkyHonkyCDXX I dunno, sorry i was in a bad mood when i wrote that.

[Candyland9090]

@cullyvan Whoaa, buddy what are you on?

Can I have some?

Jesus Shiiiit. I love this song.

Soft Cell is great too, though.

[minddnim55]

@superfundeathhammer dude i know i felt the same way!

[superfundeathhammer]

I remember I used to think that this was the worse NIN song ever but now I absolutely love it

[cullyvan]

fine if your about 14 years old i guess.

[cullyvan]

Never mind, I was in a bad mood when i wrote that. Peace and love and all that,

[Goochap]

I'm 15 and i like NIN

It's not about age, its about not being an idiot.

It's also about maturity, i listen to it because i choose to and not because the guys at the radio station tells me to.

I have no idea what i'm talking about

[zaludman]

@Goochap But I completely understand what you are trying to say though. NIN will always remain to be music for thinking people with taste in music, people who refuse to listen what MTV and commercial radios wash out our brains with...

[Goochap]

Glad to hear you understand. I'm HORRIBLE at expressing myself which is frustrating as fuck.

But yeah, i agree with you.

I mean i'm an individual. i listen to what i choose to listen to.

I'm not saying the music on the radiostations suck. (however most of it does)

I like Kanye Wests 808's And Heartbreak album for example. Despite the autotuning. I like how Kanye uses it more as an effect than pitch-corretion. I don't even know if any of the things i just wrote is relevant in any way but meh.

[Mertule93]

@cullyvan Then let me ask you what would you describe as a "music for matures"?

[METALHEAD975]

best version of the song

[xxdarksolxx]

From what I recall this was originally on the 2 closer to god cd singles. I will have to check my cd's @ home. None the less, this song is wicked i love it :)

[Joematdog]

yeah your right. closer to god :D

[collier78]

u are correct great song

[METALHEAD975]

screw you, NIN is the best band ever

[tmiya88]

U MEAN NINJA is bam. U lose.

[wheatthin488]

@METALHEAD975 Its one guy, Trent Reznor so you mean to say best artist ever. which is true he is.

[sexylittleangel777]

@METALHEAD975

damn right

[keyotikdragon]

@METALHEAD975 not so much a band more of a solo act... Trent Reznor... back in the day he used to assemble a band to play live but NIN is really just Trent

[3z3three]

@tmiya88 you are boring!
