Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile

[daniebeth]

I just keep hitting replay...I can't stop

[Boolglunk]

Trent looks like he's lost in his own world. Is it to prevent stage freight or is he tuning into the emotions that helped construct the song in the first place?

Or am I just being naive & he's just high on something?

[NELLA1680]

TRENT REZNOR AND JHONNY DEEP... A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!!!!

[NINgatita]

yep NIN was showing all the shitbag artists in the audience how it was done, and as of 2009 still were. But Trent said the hiatus won't be forever

[meryemhallo1993xl]

WTF is this!!!

i think i clicked on the wrong video

[berylli3]

I love how Trent laughs after words "If I could fix myself"

[bjorkismyhomie]

@berylli3 lol its cute. wonder what was funny

[berylli3]

@bjorkismyhomie I think he found funny just a thought about fixing himself.

He had a very emotionally unstable image back then.

[21BrItTnEy21]

like this if you cried when Johnny depp entered the room.

[recoatx]

Still remember the day this premiered. I was 13 then and loved it and still do even more 11 years later! NIN.

[Whore4Horror]

I was having a shitty day and watching this vid always makes me feel better :-)

[UnitedDiscord]

It's gotta be impossible to not get into it at the end of that song with The Frail melody.

[Eukenuba]

If i could fix myself i think i'd... but its too late for me.

[juanpablo255]

@d3dk0w yeah me too!..... i was in the process of learnin' how to play guitar

[hideHYDEimcoming]

go jhonny for liking nin

[crazybrittany6]

Depp and Reznor? In the same room? At the same time? WIN.

[andrayathevampire]

good old times when unbelivable actors and musicians appeared on mtv. not this shit now

[TheFairiesofGreen]

Thnx Big "L" *kisses love*

[may301985]

[NothingFanboy]

@may301985

[Eukenuba]

Yeah it is. The Fragility line up was Trent Reznor, Charlie Clouser, Jerome Dillon, Danny Lohner and Robin Finck.

[obscureface]

yes it is him, he just like to do different stuff with his hair.

XD

[Eukenuba]

@may301985Yeah it is. The Fragility line up was Trent Reznor, Charlie Clouser, Jerome Dillon, Danny Lohner and Robin Finck.

[xadiko69]

@Eukenuba THE BEST LINE UP EVER !

[Eukenuba]

@xadiko69 Yeah no doubt. Remarkable band are NIN. Pity touring has come to an end.

[Eukenuba]

Woodstock=GOAT

[bullsfan93]

Johnny Depp said "please welcome Nine Inch Snails"lolol

[moonlily1]

nine inches is fucking huge for a snail

[bullsfan93]

lol

[obscureface]

you can tell they are holding back from tearing apart the stage, they dont want to scare the wittle kids.

XD

[NJKB1981]

God, I remember sitting in front of the T.V. waiting for this performance. I still have it taped on VHS.

[h0b0ch1c]

@NJKB1981 Me too. Lived in Fountain Valley in those days. Ages ago... 

[markxkram]

i love this song.. and how they deliver the feelings of the lyrics.... Trent is one of the best musician...

go buy their NIN Quiet album.. its all worth it!

[NothingFanboy]

You mean Still right?

[markxkram]

yes sir... but NIN release new compilations... The Fragile with Quiet version...

you will enjoy it...

[markxkram]

just a corrections on *new compilations.. this was compiled last 2006... ^_^

[Blade3327]

Soooo...... Still, right? lol

[bullsfan93]

i think Trent easily is the best musician ever

[DSkehan2004]

I still got this on tape.

[DSkehan2004]

you know how old this is? jeez

[frimathecat]

Is there anywhere I can download this version? I absolutely love it! Thanks.

[bulexmic03]

his voice is so sexy and relaxing, it empowers me.

p.s. I agree with theburiningfeild

[123AllAboutMeee]

lol thanks for telling me :)

I was wondering cause it does actully sound like he's singing but it looks like he's laughing.

Anyway, I just LOVE this song! <3

[123AllAboutMeee]

Does he start laughing at 2:03 ?? If so why?? xD

[markxkram]

actually he doesn't start to laugh although in that part the lyrics was in that gap or in the album version.. so i think he queued the band to chorus...

[aschen]

Lucky people. Got to see NIN preform a new song for the first time in 3 years, and Ana Lenchantin is leading the string quartet. Nice.

[eklundj99]

Wow! NIN was revolutionary for 1999! And still is revolutionary for 2009!

[mallorynicole28]

@eklundj99 And STILL in 2012

[mob420666]

i love this video i think this was his first crack at being sober i love how at the beginning he is shy but how much fun he has towards the end long live trent so happy he got his shit together

[theburningfield]

i wish mtv would let artists like this play their shitty award shows again

[obscureface]

its to bad NIN is basically band from MTV for some reason.

[Moshenokoji]

@theburningfield Good bands like this probably don't want to play on their shitty awards show. But I agree with you.

[modemastermike192]

Awesome. I think i have this performance recorded on some VHS tape somewhere. Now i don't need to rummage to find that!

[mrsj0rdis0n]

1st Johnny and then Trent! wow that's WAY too much for me to handle!!! I'M FUCKING MELTING!!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

[mob420666]

love your name, but melting im not but still love them both ima dude

[mrsj0rdis0n]

OH HELL YEAH!!!!! my Johnny Depp &! my Trent in the same fucking stage!!! GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

[dtc5793]

FUCK YEAH!

[MarleySorrows]

i wonder what he was laughing about?

[nosoyelpapa]

He was laughing because he was playing at the vma's... ironic, huh?

[font77]

it was my 22nd birthay. nice present ;P

[BKool81]

The Fragile LP helped me get through a shitty 1999 year and all my crippled emotions after. I remember so much of when the album came out. TDTWWA single at the time was a, "Huh?" and then the performance at the MTV VMAs. *sigh*

[TragicPumpkinOnline]

I remember this. my favorite band introduced by my favorite actor. my shirt was on fire afterwords.

[TurckisTurris]

awesome! very nice!!!

[SerpentineandBLACK]

God I remember watching this at home. I was so excited. It gave me chills that day and it still does.

[prescribeddrone]

look at you getting hits ;)

[NothingFanboy]

Haha, I know! I'm ecstatic they tweeted this on the NIN twitter.

[xanthus25]

Bet you talk about little else for quite a while after that mention!

(Not that I blame you though!)

[NothingFanboy]

haha indeed!

[DanteBateman]

Yay! I love this song! =D

[mopotts99]

Cute Trent screw up around the 2:00 mark. <3

[darcknight49]

Epic stage set.

[sunloverin]

gotta love it :))

lock at Trent's eyes.... to bad i wasn't old enough to go on NIN in that time.. still - NIN f* blows ass today also

[Rapunzel1029]

I taped this on VHS the day it aired as well. Man does this bring back memories!

[badluckshadow13]

Ten years ago today! Woooh!

[philgorley]

I still have this on VHS from the original date it was aired. Epic.

[pushithead]

Awesome! Wondering what he's laughing at near the beginning there...

[R303blue]

So good. Remember in college running out to pick up my copy the day it came out.

[theend81]

ah... back when MTV wasn't for the 10-18 year old female demographic.

and yet... it still sucked being that these five minutes were probably the best programming they had on all week.

[theend81]

NIN FTW

[theINSIDEout001]

Wow. This was before the album came out. I would've creamed if I was old enough to, back then.

[leo3375]

And NIN just linked this on Twitter. Prepare for an explosion of views and comments!

By the way, thanks for uploading this with the Johnny Depp intro.

[SNIPERluc]

There Robin looks like Twiggy

[DSkehan2004]

I remember this. This was when the Dreamcast first came out. The commercials kept showin up.

[mexfiend]

Great add!!! I've been watching this video with the Depp introduction :)

[datura1983]

couldnt get any better.. johnny depp and trent reznor
