Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral music video

[holographicplanet]

I love Nine Inch Nail's music & music videos! Inspires me to create short films myself... much like these, distorted, yet they've got a hidden meaning behind them

[alexanderthegreat18]

No podía creer lo fácil que era dejó el arma sobre su cara BANG! (Tanta sangre de un agujero tan dimunuto) Los problemas tienen una solución toda una vida de mierda reparada con un determinado flash todo es azul en este mundo la sombra más profunda de setas azules todo difuso se derrama fuera de mi cabeza

[Retrospect1995]

I bet you that every single person who owned this album could've related to it at one point or another. This is such a good album; you haven't lived until you've experienced it.

[SeleneSybil]

I just remember being in my dark teenage room and obsessing over this. It's somehow comforting to know that while I listened to this album with severe depression others did too. I hope we all found some comfort.

-NIN fan

[wolfgurl196]

So it's a song with no words? Sorry I don't know much about this type of music :/

[xXxTwiggyzLovexXx]

After reading some comments, I guess I'm not the only one who depended soul-deeply on this album during depression... Errghh.

[IntergalacticFetus99]

Keep this video and don't listen to the people who say to take it down.

[smulpaap85]

"Filler track" :')

[TheCreepsAreAlright]

@smulpaap85 no.

[ravenouscolonelhart]

Think about the government, or the banks, or any big institution, then think about how the average person is obviously fucked because of that. K, now think of God. K, that explains why everything is so shitty. In fact check out Tom Waits God's Away on Business, though this song describes the solution and not the problem.

[ravenouscolonelhart]

weirdass comments lately. wtf.

[dismantledtube]

this blows and looks amateurish. plz delete.

[leonakita]

wtf is this incidious noise?

[DbsDoom]

@leonakita *Insidious And you just called this song crafty and treacherousness. Why don't you make sure you know the definition of a word, or at least the spelling, before you apply it to something you quite obviously don't understand. /pompous douche bag rant.

[leonakita]

@DbsDoom I stand corrected on the spelling but stand by my use of the word to describe this obnoxious drone. Btw, how is a 7-word comment a rant?... and im far from pompous but do understand the sound of heavy drug usage, quite obviously..this is it ! Capiche, douche bag doper?

[psychopathicKilLa86]

Trent is an amazing artist, and he always will be in my book :D

[Mantooth901]

Little do people know that this is the climax of the entire album...

[IntergalacticFetus99]

@Mantooth901 I figured that out the first time I listened to this album.

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@Mantooth901 Thats a well known fact

[Mantooth901]

@StickyInADarkBlueCut Then why would majority of people label it as a "filler track"

[Mantooth901]

@Mantooth901 And why does it only have 43,000 views

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@Mantooth901 I don't know what majority of people you are reffering to.I mean what else could have been the climax in TDS?? certainly not reptile

[Mantooth901]

@StickyInADarkBlueCut It has only 46,325 views I dont think that people know too well that its the climax, majority of people wouldnt even bother to figure what the album is about in the first place.

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@Mantooth901 well thatscausemostpeopleareretarde­d

[nanochase]

Odd. I have severe depression and I was in a very bad place a few months ago, but this song, this album, made me want to carry on. I guess knowing there was someone out there who really understood what it was like made all the difference. Thank you Trent.

[Reptilectricful]

Does anyone else envision themselves in a dark factory/isolated church with this song? Sitting in the corner, with only a ray of light going through the window?

[silsantiago90]

@Reptilectricful That would be me

[TheNightsMoon]

Problems have solutions you know.

[ngyafero]

i can't belive, its first time i hear this.... its ultimate

[silentshadow867]

I love this song. Music video was ok except for the climax... Too cliche.

[myterminalandthetrip]

I was addicted to this album some years ago. It helped me a lot to make myself some question that I was afraid to ask. I got through the darkness because of this record either. And this song.. every time I listen to it is like a stab in my soul and my heart but reminds me the way I can surface and overcome the darkness.

[Englishrose270]

This is by far my favourite NIN song. Makes my brain go to all sorts of scary places. So intense.

[joe6panther6]

intense, scary, creepy.. sad, painful..

[angelhair0]

one of the best songs in the universe. the video is kind of cheesy though. but i do appreciate the efforts of a true nin fan.

[martyrization]

The guitar notes in this song sound amazingly familiar ... are there any other NIN songs that have similar guitar sounds?

[mfhoxie]

@martyrization Closer

[angelhair0]

@martyrization there are several times in this album and further down the spiral that the "closer" melody appears

[frootloopwarriors]

@martyrization That riff is at the end of closer, the chorus of Heresy, the bass and keyboard line of Piggy uses similar notes, this one, and probably several more.

[frootloopwarriors]

Has anyone else noticed that the riff is the same as the little piano part at the end of closer?

[systemsfailed]

@frootloopwarriors That sound plays thought the album :)

[frootloopwarriors]

@systemsfailed Yeah its the downward spiral theme.

[KedViper]

@frootloopwarriors And it's the same in Heresy if you listen closely at "God is dead-" I just realized that not too long ago reading something.

[travmanzano]

this video is about as gay as a bag of dicks. real amateur immature shitty collaboration.

[tmamone83]

@travmanzano Yeah, aren't there some little boys you should be fucking right now?

[KedViper]

@travmanzano Aren't you a little old (36?) to be commenting on how gay something is, and you talk about immature.

[tmamone83]

Awesome job! I used to write the lyrics all over my notebook, along with pictures of gunshot wounds.

[travmanzano]

@tmamone83 yeah because your a fagtard, who thinks about doin stuff as opposed of doin it. If you listen to it, be about it.

[spacequeen]

@tmamone83 That sounds very hot.....

[Oli4drums]

I say good sir, well done with that riveting video!

[imnamelessdude]

i wanna hear it without it bieng muffled just to feel how hard this song is thru my speakers

[rouncer81]

some guys dont get this track, and they dont get modern music.

[pinkthunderwonder]

i like the whole sound but also especially starting at 2:00

[ravenouscolonelhart]

I thought the images were really appropriate for the song, well done.

[pinkthunderwonder]

The music video goes so well with it too, fucking props.

[pinkthunderwonder]

Can't stop listening to this song... especially 2:30 *-*

fuck this song is beautiful no wonder why he likes this so much

i wonder who likes it more :)

[dogkiller18]

Problems do have solutions you know :)

[EveryoneCallsMeChris]

Fantastic editng and imagery. Thumbs-up for you.

[rouncer81]

go this song! :)

[thetantrum17740]

I love trent and i love this song!

[xyerdx]

Very good editing. didn't really like the imagery because this song isn't about what you just saw. but hey, can't really complain when it's the only video trying. You should really study the felling and meaning which trent wanted to make us feel. Still good job and should definitely make another.( Pilgrimage perhaps?)

[eurekapile99]

Nicely done!

[Birrraful]

This song is soo amazing.

The video is kind of cool too.

[xman177]

Is this the CD version? I'd love to put this on a mix CD someday. The first minute or so reminds me of pink floyd and the last minute and a half or so is awesomely intense :D I just discovered this song yesterday but it's already an inspiration to me

[NINmindfreak27]

@xman177 It is a really intense song. I remember when I first heard it I wished that part wasn't muffled, but I love it that way now.

[phantomninjaman]

oh good god what the hell is this, i thought it was gonna be music

[rouncer81]

@phantomninjaman you need to open your mind.

[jdelira]

@phantomninjaman think you could do better , you stupid twit

[rouncer81]

this song rules!

[Muskateering]

That was brilliant. I made one too but its not as good as this, its more of a horror version and has some rather nasty imagery. Feel free to check it out.

[Muskateering]

@Muskateering in fact its nowhere near as bloody good! lol

[mawhar]

excellent video, deserves more views, I'll be watching it again in the future. Unique filming/editing style, nice job.

[calamariOne]

heh... like stepping into halflife 2... without the facehuggers.

[Shoe3003]

Awesome video, very professional.

I just wish that the gunshot clip wasn't censored!

[thramagen]

@Dragforce92 this album used to make me depressed and scared, but afterI got used to it I can use it in a healthy way

[offtothekhole]

i am going to put in my will to be played at my funeral along with Eulogy god, bands aren't like this anymore!

[JReyes123]

man i feel like killing people when i listen to this song its beautiful

[SplatterdaySaints]

i hope to see you go pro one day this i would consider an original video for the song that fuckin sweet great job with the abstract filming

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Everything is blue. Everything is deepest shade of mushroom blue.

[merwahn]

did you do that?!

its like 90% great :D

[IrishDutchman]

Holy shit, this song still scares me. It's a horribly powerful piece of music.

[meboz67]

wtf this is terrible

[milkit878]

awesome pure awesomeness. this is a beautiful work of art.

[xboxizdope]

I prefer the version that's on "Further Down the Spiral", but that's just me :)

[dave6767tv]
