NIN - The Downward Spiral

[imrightandwrong]

It is Reptile.

[gerdunga]

doing a lot of coke and drinking lots sure does put you on a downward spiral. This whole album is testament to that.

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@gerdunga coke is for hookers. THIS music is straight heroin

[gerdunga]

@StickyInADarkBlueCut the man himself Trent Reznor admitted in at least one interview that he used to done lots of coke, especially when they were touring for the Broken album, lots of coke and booze, surely that time influenced the music he was making for downward spiral. I'm gonna go out on a huge limb and say he was doing tons of coke during the recording of the downward spiral as well... so yes, coke. but I don't disagree that coke is for hookers.

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@gerdunga lol that makes sense his music was a lot faster paced in broken era and he was a lot skinnier.,, I think trent got into heroin in the fragile days tho.. just what it seems like plus the heroin o d around that time.. Well we do know one thing. Trent partied hard and rocked harder. Cheers

[ThePawn666]

around 2:30 it sounds like the end of closer

[slyaina]

These guys are gods! :O

[AnonymLonen]

@slyaina Trent Reznor = God :)

[GhostOfTomJones1]

@AnonymLonen u must be stupid

[AnonymLonen]

@GhostOfTomJones1 U must be a braindead cultist. Go back to bangin ur sister cretin. XD

[GhostOfTomJones1]

@slyaina u must be stupid also

[o7car]

Esta cancion es una fusion de varios de sus exitos.

NIN es un maetro del arte la musica y lyrica sinica, son geniales.

[siamesemilkman]

Learn how to correctly title songs from bands u fucking moron

[Boowey116]

reptile... mmm love that song...

[SexyBoot1989]

the most beautiful depiction of suicide i've ever seen or heard in a piece of art...

[Fightofoo]

it's two awazing songs in one easy to use video. >:3 stop bitching and start rocking!

[Sarc37]

Uhh.. why does it have the With Teeth cover? Both songs in question were on the Downward Spiral album.

[Boowey116]

the riff sounds a little like every day is the same

[UrBlondii]

@Boowey116 youre like totally right!

buts its still great(:

[Mikhael08]

Anyways... this song is the Reptile not The Downward Spiral.

[OrganicPomegranate]

Nice fail, retard.

[ravenstream]

this is Reptile bitch!

[thelonelygoth]

love this song!!

[chickenbiscito]

the beginning is reptile O.o

[Idolcruisefix]

trents greatest feat is becoming a word to the wise. DEATH to the new world ordwer

[Idolcruisefix]

@Idolcruisefix order, not ordwer, oops i mispelled the misled

[Stizou777]

im loving the transition from reptile to the downward spiral.

rip dylan and eric

[itsgaythatyourgay]

fuck those losers

[PissOnLucifer]

if they did a version of cry little sister it would be fuckin amazing

[MassachusettsAirsoft]

yeah i thought this was reptile

[NateSethRay]

This song is called Reptile.

[pablost07]

El principio es de "Reptile" y el álbum es "The Downward Spiral" y este es "With Teeth" en el video. Ok, está todo bien.

[Tardvos]

@1:45 The actaul song beginssorry if a double post

[Tardvos]

This isnt off With Teeth and the begining of it is not the downward spiral its the closing of Reptile on The Downward Spiral in case anyone was looking for accurate info on this tune..

[livvo666]

if you actually read the information in the side bar, it tells you its from the downward spiral album! So what the person who posted the video used the with teeth album cover in the video! The person never said it was from with teeth! idiot

[CarpetolA]

He couldn't believe how easy it was He put the gun to his face Bang! (So much blood for such a tiny little hole) Problems have solutions A lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash Everything's blue In this world The deepest shade of mushroom blue All fuzzy Spilling out of my head

[Schlimmerfinger87]

wrong cover sorry

[linkus2323]

I like how that lone accoustic part at the beginning (or whatever) is pretty much the end of the "Closer" song. Good song too btw

[cooliovasquez]

DUH

[mawhar]

Go to about 2:00 for the real song.

I don't think it's the uploader's fault, certain versions of the CD had problems when the last songs were switching.

anyway amazing album, and... yeah awesome song when you get to it.

[KedViper]

@mawhar I thought it was so unique and brilliant how NIN had the endings of some songs transition to the beginning of others, telling you it was all part of a bigger picture.

[finbomartini]

@KedViper it wasn't unique, it's called a concept album - people been doing it for decades, but yeah i dig the sound

[KedViper]

@finbomartini Yeah, but no one has done it as well, and yes, I know it's a concept album.

[finbomartini]

@KedViper Well that's a matter of opinion

[KedViper]

@finbomartin Yep

[sadisticvids]

and this is reptile,not the downward spiral.

[dantedraco]

And don't forget he has the cover of With Teeth instead of DS. I wonder if this was a brainless random joke to get so many things wrong? And then if you lkisten he does play the song later. WTF? Haha.

[sadisticvids]

yeah i know. but its not the first time someone has done that. theres a million videos with the with teeth cover from the wrong album. who ever did this, obviously does NOT know there facts. haa

[livvo666]

why don't u actually read the information in the side bar?!!! the person who did this video never claimed it was from the [with teeth] album!

[sadisticvids]

well duh dipshit.

i was just pointing it out.

the song is.

i was talking about the picture,

was from with teeth.

its not like im saying,

oh this guy needs to die just because he did that?

i just pointed it out.

[aragorgus]

thanks, i didn't know that ;)

[sadisticvids]

anytime!^-^

[sadisticvids]

way to cut off the first half of the song.

[AllanPerlee]

shit i remember when trent was all lean because of drugs and his music was insane, and now he's all built but still making art.

[gerdunga]

Trent's not going to be manly gay anyone in the ass, he's married now, didn't you know?

[auschelsea]

Um...this isn't the song? This is "Reptile"?

[hrinm]

this is reptile from the album the downward spiral, not the song the downward spiral...

[hrinm]

i see the downward spiral is after. how bizarre.

[lobo1837]

I hate music nowadays!!! This is real! RAW! and DISTINCT! Fallout Fags, All American Homos and every other gay ass group couldnt hold NIN's jock strap! and yes I know Trent reznor is gay. But he's a manly gay, not a twink! So Im still a fan!

[Antichrist2000]

I am not even a Nails fan and I know Trent is NOT gay, so what are you talking about?

[UnknownShadow718]

Gay? Have you heard any recent news about Reznor... and Mariqueen?

[lobo1837]

yeah and she looks like a dude

[street00preacher]

be quiet paki-bashing, bulldog-training, homophobic idiot.

[street00preacher]

i dont like any of that crap you talked about by the way.

[Keylimedelight]

Ya damn right! I want him to manly gay me in the ass!

[mperez1977]

I've been ready for this long before it came out

darkness is darkness

do you really think this is all new

come to my house I'll show you horror

[sychozis]

heroin...

[Ihuffglue91]

the world really wasn't; isn't ready for this album

[Drizzlerman]

I remember this from the 90's just as chilling today as it was back then.

[Vynredner]

Reptile =/= The Downward Spiral

[FuckingMEagain555]

"wrong album cover dick sucker" LOL

[pavasil]

Downward Spiral is a reference to Helter Skelter, originally a Beatles song but it became the name of Charles Manson's "revolution". The album was recorded in Sharon Tate's home. Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson family by the way.

Just so you know...

[Nirvanaareawesome]

kool

[smcgloth]

'Downward Spiral' refers to the chromatic melody that this album is conceptualized around. It is the melody that is repeated several times throughout the album, and this song - beautiful by the way.

[pavasil]

Seriously? Haha, I really thought it had a link with Charles Manson, it seemed so obvious...

[pavasil]

It even had the songs "Piggie" and "March of the pigs" that seem to be a link to Charles Manson's story

[IDontCareAnyName]

Both songs were written before Trent moved into the Tate house; although naming the studio "Le Pig" was a reference to the word "PIG" written in blood on the door.

[Reptillo]

Uhm, a reference?

[Monrovia92]

This is Reptile Wtf?

[ARGLE11]

oh boo hoo morons

[LeodimeII]

Wrong cover and this is Reptile.

[grungeiac]

wrong album cover dick sucker

[SirMartinez1989]

Quem disse hardcore??? Cambada de burros!

[poshtwat]

NIN ARE AMAZING!

/watch?v=lLhUn8MLtd4

if you think your a ultimate NIN fan?

[tabset]

Why does it open w/ 'Reptile'??

Downward spiral starts at 1:50

:S

[HtimsdrofA7X]

i never used to listen to NIN but they're growing on me

[thrasheer04]

whats with this stupid band? .. soo nonsense

[thedeadserv]

Same to you..

don't like? don't be a fckn retard... Don't listen!!

[calvinw42]

fuck you APallday08

[APallday08]

@calvinw42 lulz. 8 people like this

[EmptinessSoul]

NIN is one of the best groups of all time. Don't like it? Don't listen to it, simple as that. Go find another Youtube video to flame.

[thedeadserv]

the WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE? ARE YOU A FUCKIN RETARD LISTENING TO THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW, DON'T UNDERSTAND AND HENCE YOU DON'T LIKE?????

Go get under a truck or whatever...

[APallday08]

A freind told me to listen to this you idiot, lmao. And if you want to hear good music search back burner by august burns red.

[thedeadserv]

hm, I'm not much into hardcore... kicks in a mosh but bores on an mp3.

[Rawrakitten]

Lol @ "Hardcore"

[thedeadserv]

?? hardcore ?? where?

[istoletheinternet]

ABR sucks dick. NIN is fucking awesome

[xXEMOXROXx]

lol that isnt music thats some idiot screaming his head off to no musical pattern at all, it sjust liek a bunch of pots and pans baging together and some crazy guy all rOOOOAR >:P

[myjeansaretooshort]

NIN is weird. They can be punk, and they can be screamo-satanic in the same album. They're a strange band, and I respect them, but I agree that this song is NOT one of their best at all. It's too confusing and chromatic.

[xXEMOXROXx]

hmm i wasnt talking abot nin i like all nin

jsut some kid thot screamo was real music and nin wasnt

[bG3aZu3bLaZe3]

@APallday08 GO VIKINGS WERE 0 AND 2 SO FAR BUT FUCK IT WE'LL COME BACK

[APallday08]

@bG3aZu3bLaZe3 once we get rice we'll be in good shape!

[bG3aZu3bLaZe3]

@APallday08 fa sho

[fearlessdoc]

Just the ones who had the bactra from thier mother on thier face.

[TheFunnyCorp]

4:18

anyone else go crazy at the end?

[AliceSometimes]

love this

[darthblutkind]

why the with teeth cover to a track from a different Lp even though it is a good nails song

[TwilightHunter4P]

I LOVE THIS FUCKING BAND

[ravenhome83]

technically its not a band its just trent renzor.

[mikemike390]

it is a band but trent is the only one who is forsure in the band every album somepeoples help him out in making music

[ideguchi]

fuck man, do not underestimate robin finck and the others..

[xDAproductionx]

at the middle, it sounded like the end of closer, except on a guitar

[cooliovasquez]

and at the beginning of every day is exactly the same sorta

[RockFanatic319]

It's called the Downward Spiral motif. It's on a lot of the songs.

[kyonkyonkichi]

whoa.......it does o__o

[666Desolate999]

Le Pig

[boxersgirlbunny]

i have seen many bands, NIN is by far the most memorable, saw this tour show actually, in Madison,WI, my skin was pulsing with the music, no drugs, just really loud!!!!! Thank you Dane Coundy Colliseum as you will always be called by me!!

[Tennisers]

NIN IS AMAZING

[emogamer16]

i find this song very disturbing...which is why i love it =)

[GasmaskAvenger]

Its a mix of both Reptile & The Downward Spiral

[Carrottime]

The best part about life is knowing you put it together.

[Hurrquah]

I was about to say this is Reptile, Not the downward spiral...

You should edit the first 2 minutes out or give a warning in the description.

[staceyjoyo]

This in my opinnion is the best NIN album ever. I have listened to this music in so many varied states of reality and also being 100% sober and it gets better everytime! This is the music to turn all the wa up and go crazy to!!!!! Yeah

[dragonfitter]

i listerned to this album years ago while on lsd and i could honestly see the musical notes coming out of the speakers and floating across the room it was mental

[nategwinn]

Isn't this Reptile??

[docmariscal]

its the continue

[rawfusion99m]

yupe this is reptile

[spacespace2]

his songs give me chills, these guy has greated some genius pieces of works, especially during the 90's

[aphextwwin]

The Downward Spiral is a must have album. Each song with layers and layers of sounds you will never hear the 1st time...or the next 200 times for that matter. Trent put a lot of time and soul into these recordings.

[pkingfools3]

thats forsure , it never gets old

[alotofcheese76]

oh man this is awesome

[AGENT24]

Oh I see what other people were saying, I didn't wait long enough

[AGENT24]

wtf this is Reptile not Downward Spiral

[exegerhard]

seriously, you're 26?

[jclwhite]

I didn't know computers could talk. Anyway, why would anyone care about what you think of this song? Whats so great about the music you lsiten to?

[adamdieter1204]

in the biggining the song is mixed around and if u listen carefully u can hear a girl moaning

its when tommy lee and nine inch nails got a buch of porn stars at the studio and it was a acceident and the tried to fix it but its stil there and at the end of the tracks in the credits it says 'Thanks to tommy Lee' 'Big man with a gun'

danny said that for a thanx that day cause it was his b-day

[adamdieter1204]

but its on the downward spiral

[emogamer16]

dieter? its jeff whats up?! =D

[adamdieter1204]

jeff who

wetzel?

[emogamer16]

no the jeff that hangs out with Hailey Greg and Lauren lol you go to novi right?

[Dantomane]

its the end of reptile but then its the downword spiral. the person started recording to early

[wlfgngrcks]

this is liar from the reptile demo

[wlfgngrcks]

this is NOT reptile

-she spreads herself wide open to let the insects in she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been she has the blood of a REPTILE just underneath the skin.... THAT is reptile

[sniktawleahcim]

oh my beautiful liar, is also part of reptile.. this song has part of reptile in it near the begginning

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

this is reptile not the downword spiral

[SamRemCec]

*Screw Limp Bizkit? hell yeah! :) they suck

*Reptile: I'm not sure why that is on here first, but it (IMO) makes it sound better. The ending of retile goes DIRECTLY into the Doward spiral and sounds feakin awesome!

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

yeah i was a little impatient and put the comment about 50 secs in the vid.

[SamRemCec]

But you have to admit, it kind of sounds cool. How the loud music of "Reptile" is merged right into "the Dowanward Spiral". they're both awesome songs

[phantomninjaman]

if it wasnt for manson this guy would be broke

[causgrov]

If it weren't for this guy manson would still be living in a trailer.

[phantomninjaman]

so in other words you'r saying that manson owes trent his fame because trent signed him? everyone starts somewhere, doesnt mean they should be able to take lifelong credit. manson woulda got signed by someone.

[warlockboyburns]

trent is a god you nut

[SamRemCec]

I agree, and myself, and (probably) 'phantomninjaman' are not saying he is not. I'm simply saying that Manson would've been signed by someone, if Trent hadn;t. I do agree that manson really does have to thank Trent fohis fame, but saying "manson would still be living in a trailer" if not for trent" is a complete understatement, because Manson has much talent as well and deserves to be his own musician. If you don;t agree, FUck you!

[SamRemCec]

I prefer Marilyn Manson (A VERY LITTLE BIT) more than NIN, however, I gotta agree with 'causgrov' when he says that NIN (not Manson or Ministry, RevCo, etc.) was the one to innovate the sounds that would later be called "Industrial [Metal]"

[Hurrquah]

ew.

[phantomninjaman]

I mean cant i get famous for recording a car motor then adding a beat?

[bugatti94v]

shut thefuck up

[thenademoncametohim]

lol

i dunno, nor am i sure how that relates to NIN

reznor actually took an industrial sound that had already existed for at least 10 years before him (and yeah all those guys got famous with car motor stuff) and merged it with commercial rock...

so if you want hardcore car motor check out throbbing gristle or skinny puppy

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

if yuor trying to be an asshole then it's working! trent is a lot better then you'll probably ever be kweef.

[dasnake1234]

does anyone know what those sound effects are at the beginning of this song?

[ytmndisbetter]

sounds like a sample from Sunshine + Gasoline by Godspeed You Black Emperor

[minutexdecay]

drifting downwards...always..feeling the bite...always..i'm here to see me die. suicide a constant...if i did it'd be to this song, this album, it fucking kills me, its beyond amazing. most beautiful descent to nothing from nothing I LOOvE IT. there is some seriously good songs off this. for suoore

[franceman1987]

oneUNITED; duhboss1, this is the end part of Reptile. The reason it's at the start of this track here, is that in Australia, the first pressing of "The Downward Spiral" was incorrectly cut between track 12 and track 13 (Reptile and TDS) so the start of track 13 is actually supposed to be the end of track 12.

[phantomninjaman]

some of his songs are good, but most of them are just... noise

[BlackShapeOfNexus]

Noise is music.

[dasnake1234]

agreed

[livingsocks]

If it's "noise", it's noise organised in a way my ears agree with :)

[Grave187RIP13]

Actually the definition of music is an organized sound. This sounds pretty organized to me, as does all the other songs by NIN.

[duhboss1]

oneUNITED, you are most certainly correct. This is the end bit of Reptile. Hm...Hendrixx7, if you could cut into the last part of Reptile and start there, why couldn't you just start at the beginning of TDS?

[oneUNITED7SS]

am i hearing this right? This sounds like Reptile? I'm dreaming.

[438MillionBC]

It's impossible to listen to this song without feeling something.

[ThetaMetroid]

@ nisam:

NIN is characterized as industrial, because of the large use of effects, and the aggressive lyrics.

[AntixGodina]

this song is pure to listen to when you're stoned.

I agree with you!! ;)
