07. The Becoming - "The Downward Spiral : Live" presented by ThisOneIsOnUs & The NIN Hotline

[llamasarus1]

trent should play piano more

[Bostonian91]

I feel sorry for the guy who thought the Downward Spiral was one of his weakest albums haha

[Staphylin]

One of the best performance of the song !!! I've never seen The Becoming being so violent !

[scrollofdeath]

hey its the tambourine man :D

[KyleThomasShultz]

This whole album is amazing, but this is song always makes me lose my fucking mind and become what I really am.

[Squidpus]

I came

[leghump]

This may be my favorite version of this song yet.

[GlenMuse795]

@ynattirbelise DUDE DID YOU HEAR THAT VIBRATO TOWARDS THE END OF IT? HOLY SHIT. PERFECTION.

[lithiumpipe]

god damn this noise inside my head

[TunerLegend17]

the becoming studio version is amazing. so much raw emotion. its the slip version but live

[thepenguin55]

Kickass performance. The crowd was great and NIN was simply oozing energy. BTW is that Justin's O-face at 3:02? He looks like he REALLY likes those cymbals...

[johnroiberts]

the album versioin is way betteer

[thepenguin55]

@johnroiberts I've always had mixed feelings about this song. I've never liked the album version, but I absolutely love the Still version and the live version.

[johnroiberts]

@thepenguin55

i like the album version,cuz the guitar part sounds better,not as jangly lol. also the bass part in the album one is like heavy as fuk

[CJBGrim]

AHHHH GODDAMNIT I'm a heterosexual 26 year old male and I tell my wife and two kids I'm leaving them for Trent all the time :( I'm broken

[leghump]

This is by far the best version I've heard a few in person...nothing comes close to this. That's sort of amazing.

[Sean19a7x2]

LOL at 3:04

Justin's really kicking sum ass, eh?

[TheNineinchsnails]

the audience made me laugh so hard i mean lol its just funny

[Tijanna]

Trent at 3:29, diving for the synth!

[jeniber]

Does anyone know what synth Trent is using?

[slaytallicdethrax]

im amazed im amazed

[Marchofdapigz]

love trents piano improv in the middle :]

[Marchofdapigz]

@Marchofdapigz piano/synth

[ttacka]

FUCCKKKKKKK I wish i bought tix for webster instead of terminal! even tho terminal was epic in itself this is just too sweet

[L2Ikar0]

if I have to die my last wish is see this amazing show

[random63089]

it won't give up, it wants me dead

[remaftp]

goddamn this noise inside my head

[Reptillo]

3:51

you're doing the horns wrong

[abovejoe]

Start to finish, this performance is goddamn motherfuckin' awesome!

[viewsonic998]

wyjeba a na żywo X3

[KarbiQ]

That synth solo is straight from the hell ! Go Trent !

[hardeebrad]

I cant believe they played this song live damn.

[MrxChow]

and god damn this noise inside my head

[JustANiceLad]

I love them tiny bells!

[kms21512]

Seen NIN in Victoria this past byear, these vids give me chills. Friggin' Amazing !

[xpurity666]

is he really never going to tour again?

[xdave130x]

Yep. He said he doesn't want to be like KISS & just going through the motions on stage. He's quiting at the top of his game....& getting married. But NIN will be continuing to release studio material.

[coincidoconmigo]

@xdave130x Ah, marriage. She´s the ruiner. Not even a Good Bye Tour?

[bigedga]

probably not, just imagine the price of all those tambourines he's tossed out in the crowds in 20 years, can't afford to tour anymore :(

[godman1234567890]

Fucken sick! The crowd really gets into it simply awesome!

[pphunk54]

Never has a tambourine been so badass. I'm extremely jealous of anyone who was there live. Just amazing.

[Grassrootbeer]

This is so sick- the part after the first acoustic breakdown when he says "won't slip away!" and the following section are so intense. WELL DONE.

[lushvalley]

One of my fave NIN songs. Bloody fantastic. I seriously regret not seeing them one last time this year.

[TheLiiger]

fav nin song without doubt

[nindes]

wkd! yeah justin with those cymbals lol!

feck yeah!

[vikinglordSF]

trent loves it so why stop?

[cmk61478]

He is warn out.  He wants to focus on music for a bit. I give him at least 5 years before he comes back again.

[KKoRnFreaKK]

I sure hope so

[cmk61478]

I listened to an interview from Germany. He just said he wants to focus on some other things and will get back to touring in 2-5 years. In no way is NIN done.

[brettugh]

Fucking beautiful

[krudboy]

"oh my god. its like ive died and gone to hell"

lol

i concur. wish i was there

[Tiptup77]

Justin's pumping them cymbals 3:02

[bobinchainz]

GOOOOOOOOSEBUMPS!!!

[minkuce]

aaaahhhhh, love this song so much! Thank you!!!

[gctones]

my heads dizzle with this! In a great way! Thank you! Thank you!

[bastlake]

love Trent's stomp-jumping at 4:10

[promemetician]

wow fuck yes

[videopamp]

se me ponen los pelos de punta! :D

[VincentTSFP]

I wasn't sure about this when I saw the trailer, but fucking hell that's a trully excellent performance of Teh Becoming.

Can't wait to see the whole show on DVD!!!

[brejo57]

LOVE this. This seems a bit different than the album version (which is no surprise for a live performance obviously). Not sure if it's always played this way live, but its awesome.

[badfish128]

I'm pretty sure this is one of the few they never played live. I could be wrong.

[Deftone318]

They play it a lot more now!! Which is great because I personally think this is their best and more energetic live version of a song.

[coltron3030]

@badfish128 Incorrect my good man.

[bererboy01]

@badfish128 nah, there are some live versions around the internet.

[ny5280]

3:30  FUCK ME!! this stuff is the best..

[mikhailrusanov]

[Paomnnehal]

3:02

[purplestarfaery666]
