Nine Inch Nails - Down in the Park (live w/ Gary Numan & Mike Garson @ the Henry Fonda 9/8/09)

[ComaAlpha]

I wish they would've made it sound more like Manson's version instead of like the original.

[mastiff451]

Sooo freakin' brilliant!!!!!

[TheFrenchEngineer1]

Many Numan fans are now listening to NIN!!!

[babyflyoO]

This was such a dreamy song for this 12 year old... way back when.

[Ystig]

Trent's such an incredible guy. Guess it isn't a great surprise that he honours them who came before him in this way.

[BobDoleNSatanRmyniGz]

Marilyn Manson called.... He want's to know if he can borrow some of Numan's talent.

[Omnipherant]

@BobDoleNSatanRmyniGz cant be compared, sure Numan's sounds vocally superior but manson voice is unique in its roughness and unmusically tamed but sounds good for Manson fans

[TheDesertfart]

We have been to the park as well and Replicas, among others have been our Soundtrack. And it´s quite pointless to guess who influenced whom...Just listen.......

[BobDoleNSatanRmyniGz]

I'm a little young here to know the answer to this, but is Gary copying Trent or vice versa when it comes to hanging on the microphone with two hands while singing? Their posture is overwhelmingly identical.

[JennRighter]

@BobDoleNSatanRmyniGz Gary Numan wrote and performed 'Down in the Park' in the late 70s. The most likely scenario is that Reznor was influenced by Numan, but it is hard to say for sure. Bowie was influenced by Reznor, even though he was blazing trails long before him.

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@BobDoleNSatanRmyniGz Trent is the unoriginal one. Gary has been around much longer in the music scene.

[kpan122]

@err0r You are essentially a thief of oxygen, do not speak again. It is better to let the world think you are a fool than to open your mouth and prove them right.

[511gillymot]

thats some good picture quality you got there,

[mansonxfreakx]

Why are so many people too incompetent to realize that this is a song by Gary Numan that Manson, Christian Death, etc. COVERED?

[kalisturgeon]

Foo Fighters - not enough definition on the keyboard but good

Marilyn - fuzzy and insincere.

NIN - really quite good. Helps that GN is there. Could still do with more def.

[Stigbool]

Fantastic! been a huge fan of Numan for more than 30 years.

[thevgmk1]

Loving it... But really loving the drums... No fancy rolls... just taking the song home....

[jcowell1977]

Brilliant!

[Granada777]

i wrote my final paper for my history of rock and roll class at ucla on gary numans influence on modern rock. this video validates everything i believe. well done.

[mattroseproductions]

@err0r...... This is a Gary Numan song. Manson covered it you "fukken" idiot!

[err0r]

dis is fukken shit is needs to be more heavy liek manson, y bother covering manson if it isnt fukken heavy as shit i say. ROCK ON.

[filtro6]

@err0r You are an anus

This song was written by Numan in 1979 you cow's gash

[flensingknife]

@filtro6

cow's gash... I LOLed

[SuperTwitch92]

@err0r you by far have got to be the one most incompetent entity on the face of the planet.

[err0r]

@SuperTwitch92 if if u no anything u fukken dik hed u midle aged old fuk, MANSON 4 LILFE. manson can shit all oveer this gay bull shit.

[SuperTwitch92]

@err0r ha im 18 douche bag, just as you suck Manson's dick, WHO DO YOU THINK MANSON USED TO LISTEN TOO ALL DAY LONG COCK EYES, Numan of course. you have no sense of music or taste, you are by all means the lowest form of mold that has ever encrusted the inner walls of your mothers womb. lol out of 2.8 billion you were the fastest. in a way that's very very sad.

[ralphb626]

@err0r very eloquently put moron (if you do not understand any of the words I have used please refer to a D I C T I O N A RY)

[semitar6]

I think even manson wouldnt be amused by your idiotic rant, get a dick, dicktionary...you douchebag...

[SuperTwitch92]

@err0r wait wait wait..... middle aged old fuck? how does that even work, its not that your insulting me that is the problem, ITS THAT YOUR DOING IT AS BAD AS THE OBVIOUS PANTS-ON-HEAD RETARD YOU ARE, you dont deserve to be a manson fan, manson is one of the most inteligent men in talented music today, and your the type of fuck head weenie that he despises and mocks, how do you feel being the subject of hate of the verry man your trying to defend......haha weenie.

[bkny612]

@err0r Try growing a brain of some sort before you use your keyboard.  They aren't covering manson so go tuck your manson-erection back into your panties and maybe find out whose song it is. mansons version is a cover you jackass

[RwBguardian]

@err0r ok Gary WROTE and PERFOMED this ORGINALLY. Jeus do ur research on topic before u go running ur mouth. Chk out The Pleasure Pricinpal CD sometime thx, RwB

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@err0r You moron, you almost make me embarrassed to call myself a Manson fan because that means being in the likes of you. Gary wrote this before Manson was even on the music scene at all. You have a computer, you should spend a little more time on Wikipedia.

[razielmxz]

Numan fans call themselves "Numanoids" so now us Reznor fans will call ourselves Reznoroids!! yeah!! that sounds good =D

[indusitalia]

great!

[TheCperkdog]

Terrible disrespectible, corruptive of the Authentic version of this classic, Should be banned from Yuotube or anything else. Dont hold the chord if you cant figure out how to play the correct note!!!!

[RwBguardian]

@TheCperkdog "Ok lets hear U play it as its supposed to be w/o any flaws etc allowed. TR put his OWN spin on it and I think it blended perfectly. Besides its a COVER thus meaning its done w/ a twist not exactly as the original artist does it."

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@TheCperkdog You idiot the point of a cover is to express the song through your eyes and not play the exact same thing that has already been done, that is a boring and truly unoriginal move. You are either wrought with stupidity and naive or ignorant of the concept of expression through art to say something like that. If you listen to the original and compare them which i doubt you did, they sound very similar just one is industrial rock and the other is synth.

[AliasUndercover]

Gary was starting to lose his hair in '79. Of course it's a wig. Looks good, though. He should probably just go the shaved-head route at this point, though...

[guyfidelity]

Sounds like this was one killer NIN show. Great covers all round. Man Trent is a musical genius.

[slessorpr]

Why are those guys with guitar and bass on stage? This is mostly synth isn't it? Excuse my ignorance, I'm not a musician.

[davidsan01]

@slessorpr the guys with bass and guitar are members of NIN. Yes the original was all synth but you can easily play the synth parts on guitar and make it sound synth and vice versa.

[gundambob646]

@slessorpr well its a twist on a classic, and a cover. no one sad covers have 2 be the same. but the audio recording is bad, wish NIN recorded it during the show like the other songs with gary numan.

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@slessorpr well its better to recognize and be polite about ignorance, some of the people on this page could learn from you. But no, it is industrial rock which means that synth and real music are combined and in some extreme cases you get ambient (music that relies on texture change rather than note and rhythm change) and traditional music on top of that. Any other questions just contact me!

[psicodependencia]

realmente las unicas bandas que deberían tocar este tema ! excelente

aunque a mister numan ya no lo acompaña mucho la voz

[ShadowofNine]

Is that Mike Garson back there??!!!!!

It sounds like him.

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@ShadowofNine yes it is

[DetroitDiesel671]

Excellent quality.... Thanks! ......What camera were you using?

[cruiserbc]

I like the way at 56 seconds, Gary starts a lil headbang and then think's...Jaysus don't let that wig fall off !

He is a Legend though.

[mrfried]

It's not a wig, it's hair transplants, he started having them done in the mid 80's he lists that as one of the reasons he had to have some of those hats he wore.

[deutsch40]

@mrfried of coarse its a wig.He had 2 hair transplants in the 80s by the beginning of the nineties he was baldy as a coot.HENCE ....

[McKleeny]

I was in a car crash or was it a war...

[human1nature]

omg lol its trent with my hero gary!!

[6SeannaeS9]

fucking amazing!

[seretoninflatline]

thank you

[ZombieChris1]

i was lucky enough to catch Numan with NiN at the O2, which was amazing! but seeing Down in the Park is something i wish i could of seen

[Skullcracka]

Hey Synth, thanks for posting this. I was introduced to Gary Numans music when I was a kid in the late 70's and I never stopped playing it. I am also an NIN fan! Listen to those lyrics. AWESOME!!!! Thank again man

[PhoenixAmnell]

It's so cool that Gary was able to do this show, and you can only imagine that the guys of NIN were thinking "Oh my God!! Gary Numan is on stage with us!"

[xdave130x]

He did his first show with NIN at the O2 Arena in London back in July. Trent then decieded to take him out to the US for the final 3 or 4 shows. Being a huge Numan & NIN fan the O2 Arena show was incredible...Metal & Cars back to back = perfection

[addisdad83]

awesome

[karenteneyck]

Thank you so much for posting! I am out of town but would have died to see it in person. K

[LordArsehat]

[wallyma1]

[ryandashsdotorg]

THANK YOU! Us Numanoids couldn't be more excited at the moment. Such an honor for Gary.

[RiktiBoss]

@ryandashsdotorg The honor is Trent's. He's been a fan for years.



[disgustipated07]

@RiktiBoss exactly!

[ministryofwelchtoons]

Thanks for posting this. This is amazing!!
