The only reason people hate on NIN is because they wear mainstream like 7 years ago. Do you guys honestly hat NIN that much? If NIN started playing on the radio, would it just seem like ear rape to you? I think if your honest with yourselves, you would admit that NIN sound pretty good.
@MsWetTowel Yes totally, Ever since Analog keyboards started using Digital sampling the Music Lost its creativity. Its evident from 93 onwards. I have Analaog gear and nothing I have heard from today comes close to the depth and Subtle emotion from those glorious instruments.
Had this on Gasoline In Your Eye video years ago and I used to wonder how they managed the overhead curved shots until I spotted the answer in a reflection in the pickup trucks windscreen at 7:08.
@YouTwit: I just made a big mistake & added this video as one of my favorites (pressed the wrong button)! Now, why should I do that when I can't SEE the damn vid, thanks to YOU once again???!!!! I have complained & complained on your ''help page'' (which is of no help!), alongside hundreds of other users, cos this is far from being my first problem I have since YOU decided to change everything....but then you don't care!
Sorry guys, love this song + vid, but had to get that out of my system!
look..we were talking about NINE INCH NAILS! NOT ANY OTHER BANDS HE WAS IN. if u actually read my post u would see that i said NIN STARTED AS SUPPORT TO skinny puppy- THEY WHERE NEVER A SYNTHPOP BAND! trent WAS IN a synthyboy band BEFORE nin! fuck me some of you just get on here to argue and show your lack of education DONT YOU. by the way, your comment about ditching one style for another was absolute rubbish. never heard of ministry then i suppose?! go bother someone else.
then we arent talking about n.i.n then are we?? saying that he was in some other band doesnt change the fact that his first tour as n.i.n. was in support of skinny puppy as i said. i never said he wasnt in any shit band i never heard of, like the one you mentioned, and really who gives a toss anyway. are you trying to say that trent has a stronger synthpop lineage than e.g. Ministry? and anyway, again who cares its trent fuckin reznor were talkin about- he's a frickin NOBODY! sound familiar?
446000 people led to believe that this is " Classic song from the pioners of the industrial rock." fuck me the disinformation is taging hard. how the hell is this industrial rock? Fuck it don't even answer I give up
@emile235 i was thinkin exactly that when i saw yr post. not industrial, not rock, not even near eh! next theyl tell us depeche mode are a disco band!!
every time I lessen to music like this I feel way ahead of time dont know why people look at me like a weird person but I feel so free. free of the system around me. and todays awful pop music.......... sensoriaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!
You can see why they never made much money back then? Distinctly uncommercial. Some of their stuff is weird with a capital W. This was one of the more 'accessable' songs from their portfolio.
What is with all the NIN hating? I fail to see whats wrong with Nin. Coil, Cabs, Nin, Bauhaus, Skinny Puppy, Neu!, Throbbing Gristle, etc.. is all awesome fuckin' music. Whats the problem? If you think NIN sucks i suggest you'd check out 'Closer (Precursor)' a NIN song but a mix from Coil. (Used in the movie Se7en)
@texasB666 Certainly today, NIN hating seems silly because from a modern perspective most of the 80s or very early 90s industrial bands seem of a vintage and mold. And I don't myself have anything against NIN. But *at the time*, NIN felt like a latecomer 'sell out' band to a lot of people, and took what was still a pretty small movement and brought it to arenas and mass teenaged popularity. So I think for a lot of people it's historically based and sort of a "you had to be there" thing.
@emile235 actually to correct your ignorance- the first set of gigs nin did was in support of skinny puppy! synthy and smiley? u must be high- u want your illusions smashed? go check out super-industrialists 'ministry' and 'with sympathy' if u want synthy homo-ness thats far removed from their present existence. im not into trent anymore, but at least he's kept the faith (not sure which)..can u say that about bigfat al jourgensen! no u cant.
@emile235 can u read? my post said..'the first gigs NIN did..' not "the exotic birds did..!" comprende? put brain in gear before putting mouth in overdrive perhaps in future.anyway, trent reznor..oh purleaeese, when was the last decade he did anything at all worth hearing by the way?
@z1rakz1gal I don't give a flying fuck about early NIN i am telling you that Reznor WAS IN A FUCKING SMILEY SYNTH POP BAND WHEN STARTED OUT AS A MUSICAN FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Can you fuckin grasp that? Fake ass synthy boy band DECIDE to suddenly go all industrial because pop career is failing
@texasB666 (Also, to be fair, recommending the Coil mix as an entry point to NIN is a little disingenuous in that that track sound 100% like a Coil song rather than a NIN song, much like the Aphex Twin mixes on Further Down the Spiral just sound like Aphex Twin songs.)
@Epiphyte Ouch! Actually you had me :) I'm not trying to be condescending btw. The Coil mix actually sounds very much like Coil, yes you're right about that. But you know how people can be, if you know what i mean. I'm 25 and it took years to appreciate all sorts of music. I actually think NIN's GHost album (for a not so old one) is also very good. I grew up with metalheads and even today the fanbase of the genre hasn't changed. They sometimes sound like winey bitches.
@Epiphyte Metalheads still live in the past which is very sad. And i guess its the same for some people who dig industrial. Right now, theres a big fuss about the new Morbid Angel album. They call it Morbid Angels's St-Anger. Its not a very good album, but its actually not THAT bad. People should boycot modern pop music which i think is ridiculous and is worth bashing. Not Nine Inch Nails or Morbid Angel.
industrial rock? They are pioneers of industrial yes but I've never heard anything "rock" in them ... a lot of electro though ;-p PS- love this track.
trent reznor will have ripped off mal, don't put the cart before the horse; mal had no confidence in voice (hence his mumbling, being low in the mix, use of tapes), and hated being the cab's front man even more. i've loved them since first seeing them supporting tg at the crypt in paddington, i can't remember how many times i've seen them, and i worked at some bizzare for a few years so i got to know mal as a mate (mutual interest in football and reggae/dub); top bloke.....
God, those eyes of his make me shiver and that pointy toothed smile makes me tingle. But that preacher dude is creepier than the old guy in the Poltergeist movie!
@zee339 Look, NIN didn't rip off ANYONE'S sound (except for maybe when they ripped off Dig It by Skinny Puppy when they recorded Down In It), okay? Cabaret Voltaire were pioneers of industrial, along with Throbbing Gristle and about a thousand other industrial acts. You might as well say Ministry ripped them off, or early Fear Factory, or RevCo. Of COURSE bands who are in the same genre will sound similar. And anyway, I can't name one NIN track that sounds like a single CV track. Snoogans.
@DarthTwitch Also CV weren't industrial anyway they were experimental. If you listen to the really early stuff like Red Mecca and the 1974-1976 compilation you will see just how forward thinking and experimental this band were. Not part of any genre at all, true experimentalists.
@DarthTwitch Precisely, but the idiots here have their heads too far up there "experimental" ass. What the fuck is experimental music even? industrial IS experimental music!

@missjenniferdevi Nice post! Saw Tangerine Dream a LONG time ago. Three dudes sitting in front of big banks of computers! They'd probably have macbooks in front of them now! Yeah, these guys came from somewhere too. All the greats "borrowed" from someone.
The Cabs were active since 1973 and were indeed partly influenced by krautrock like Faust, Kraftwerk and Neu!, but NWW, SP and PTV were 80's bands. I'd say The Cabs were one the earliest.
I normally dont do this, cause I hate ppl spaming in the commentsection, BUT I made a remix of "The Set Up" which I think all Cabaret Voltaire should hear.
I normally dont do this, cause I hate ppl spaming in the commentsection, BUT I made a remix of "The Set Up" which I think all Cabaret Voltaire should hear.
I don't know much about Cabaret Voltaire but I do remembering listening to this track many years ago and lovin' it then and now in 2011 it still sounds great ..its timeless.
LOL. You industrial purists are pretty much hipsters who wear a lot more black. Shut the fuck up about who-influenced-who, and whether Reznor is a "poseur" or not and just FUCKING ENJOY THIS FUNKY-ASS TUNE.
@faktualerror Industrial purists are pretty much hipsters who wear a lot more black? <None of this matters just generic generalizations. Your a bit late to defend him too. He has not been bashed for at least a month. So everyone had stopped.
Seeing caberet voltaire live at hammersmith palais is one of my fondest memories of youth, I went with a mate from work, he has had a big influence on my life. Luigi if you by fluke read this get in touch ! Justin...
I definitely don't feel old enough to like Cabaret Voltaire. born in '95, a year after they broke up. I'll just tell myself that I have better than average taste. ;)
Shit 90's bands like ---- ---- ----- & ---- just ripped off the ideas that had already been laid out as art, in order to fool gullible children and ca$h in on the megabucks. ---- ---- ----- & ---- are totally unacceptable emo acts that are actually celebrated by sick children because of their palpable emotional content, suggesting the artists themselves are sickly with a misguided will.
@texasB666 What up Belgium? Drink some of that killer begium beer for me man! Great name for someone from Belgium! Well, i really love this song, so i would probably say Micro - Phonies from '84. That's when i first found out about them. Love that album!!
Vaguest memories of this; now re-discovered I can't stop playing it
Total true GENIUS Timeless
Love the music + the video - The scary Preacher & the dancing in front of Tinsley Towers, the innovative camera work, Mall's prescence; all of it's perfect .
what i think is the most powerful about this band is, besides the music, their energy. the energy is something pure and authentic, conveys actually simplicity - which is also obvious in their visual language. Creativity is longing for simplicity. I`m an artist myself and sometimes the most basic idea is the most powerful!!!
I like NIN, but I love the Cabs. If you ever got the chance to see one of their shows, it was disturbing. Nothing outright, just on a base level. NIN was industrial with pop sensibilities. I also have a bit of a gripe with Trent. He got the lyrics to his chorus of "Closer" from me, and I didn't get any credit. How many other fans did he steal from? He also killed my best pickup line, as everybody now thought he created it.
Pretty Hate Machine by NIN RIPPED this sound off completely. Check Down in it by NIN total rip off this. love NIN, but Cabaret Voltaire were years ahead of their time.
CABARET VOLTAIRE were great. be great for them to play a few gigs.
@hundhun17 Well, let's be fair here, damn near every electronic/industrial band out there that came out in the 2nd half of the 80's ripped off CV, Throbbing Gristle (and offshoot projects: Chris & Cosey, Psychic TV, etc), Gary Numan, Kraftwerk or the Sparks. That's just how it goes. How many Skinny Puppy, Ministry, and KMFDM clones came out in the 90's?
@gsdeli Cubanate formed just after the release of NIN's Broken album. For all you know, Cubanate must have have listened to "Gave Up" and said "Hey! Let's make similar music!". Thus the 1993 single "Body Burn" was born.
NIN Fucking rocks and so does Cabaret Voltaire so If you don't like it get a fucking tree on your ass ..

@missjenniferdevi Nice post! Saw Tangerine Dream a LONG time ago. Three dudes sitting in front of big banks of computers! They'd probably have macbooks in front of them now! Yeah, these guys came from somewhere too. All the greats "borrowed" from someone.

The Cabs were active since 1973 and were indeed partly influenced by krautrock like Faust, Kraftwerk and Neu!, but NWW, SP and PTV were 80's bands. I'd say The Cabs were one the earliest.

Shit 90's bands like ---- ---- ----- & ---- just ripped off the ideas that had already been laid out as art, in order to fool gullible children and ca$h in on the megabucks. ---- ---- ----- & ---- are totally unacceptable emo acts that are actually celebrated by sick children because of their palpable emotional content, suggesting the artists themselves are sickly with a misguided will.

what i think is the most powerful about this band is, besides the music, their energy. the energy is something pure and authentic, conveys actually simplicity - which is also obvious in their visual language. Creativity is longing for simplicity. I`m an artist myself and sometimes the most basic idea is the most powerful!!!

I like NIN, but I love the Cabs. If you ever got the chance to see one of their shows, it was disturbing. Nothing outright, just on a base level. NIN was industrial with pop sensibilities. I also have a bit of a gripe with Trent. He got the lyrics to his chorus of "Closer" from me, and I didn't get any credit. How many other fans did he steal from? He also killed my best pickup line, as everybody now thought he created it.

Pretty Hate Machine by NIN RIPPED this sound off completely. Check Down in it by NIN total rip off this. love NIN, but Cabaret Voltaire were years ahead of their time.
CABARET VOLTAIRE were great. be great for them to play a few gigs.

@hundhun17 And everyone tells me he ripped off Skinny Puppy with that song. Sounds like to me he ripped off this band and song for Down In It.
AustinLuck78 1 year ago
@hundhun17 Well, let's be fair here, damn near every electronic/industrial band out there that came out in the 2nd half of the 80's ripped off CV, Throbbing Gristle (and offshoot projects: Chris & Cosey, Psychic TV, etc), Gary Numan, Kraftwerk or the Sparks. That's just how it goes. How many Skinny Puppy, Ministry, and KMFDM clones came out in the 90's?

@gsdeli Are you daft? When do you think Cubanate was founded?
hakujinjin 8 months ago
@gsdeli Cubanate formed just after the release of NIN's Broken album. For all you know, Cubanate must have have listened to "Gave Up" and said "Hey! Let's make similar music!". Thus the 1993 single "Body Burn" was born.
