This is Saul Williams in San Francisco I was there! SNAP sorry I was wrong. Saw them live though. Would be awesome if I could actually find a vid of that concert...
First saw saul in amherst mass, walked into the areana durring this song and was hooked... his first album is such a different genre but it's the best album i've ever heard lyrically, spiritually, and rythms from one song to the next flow like a river of truth.. or something. He's the man in short... Like trent, i find that there is about a 90% success rate in what i find to be pure masterpieces of art, music , poetry.
Need a hype man for your hooks, when u got a loaded verse, you need a fresh breath to hit that hook hard, knowatImean. You the man tho Saul, got your autograph up in my room still. "May your words bring worlds" good advice for a budding emcee. Thx. I'm so jealous, trent and twiggy jamming on your track on stage, DAMN!
i think maybe the sound might be off? not matched up with the picture. yeah because if you watch in the begining his mouth isnt even paired up with what he's saying. and i doubt he would need to dub for that part lol. so i sorta doubt it
Unbelievable indeed for lack of words to truly describe their amazing influences. Saul being a pisces is a great match for Trent who is a Taurus... genius combo :)
Saul Williams is a great poet and i'm glad him and NIN played together or i would never have heard such a powerful message. I saw him open for NIN in Austin,TX on the Winter Leg of the With Teeth Tour. I met Twiggy that same night too...fucking awesome.
Thank you for posting this. Please tag this with New Orleans. Saul's speech at the beginning makes more sense if it's known that he was talking about Katrina. Thanks again!
I was there at Voodoo. That was the first time I had ever seen or heard of Saul Williams. I was really blown away. He's one of the truly great new talents in music today.
mmm...Saul apologizes that this song isn't as simple to understand as "I'm Too Sexy"...but on the otherhand, I like the live performance, it's even more raw
could you be any MORE ignorant? jesus christ what are you even doing here watching this, it makes more sense than the point of your existence on this planet if all you're going to do is sit on your fucking ass and criticize people who have worlds more talent than you could ever muster.

umm, i heared about this song from a friend and decided to check it out, the beat and the MUSIC is good, the lyrics r pointless, its different to listen to a song and know what the fuck it's saying then listen to a song and say "OH! that meledy is awesome!" i hav yet to see what he is talking about here....maybe its me, maybe my mind cant comprehend it but dont call me ignorant because of an opinion....
you are ignorant, if you think that just because it doesn't make sense to YOU, that it doesn't at all. just read the lyrics, it's not that hard to do, and i promise you won't be confused anymore. besides, are you going to sit here and tell me top 40 lyrics inspire you cause they make sense to you right away? glad i dont have your taste in music then.
Your stupidity is not an opinion, it's a lack of knowledge. Go read what the lyrics mean, and don't be such a jackass when people tell you you're wrong.
ya i heard it liek 5 mins ago on tv and i was like freakin out cuz i knew i had heard it before i gogoled "list of demands" and this came up. im a big nine inch nails fan so thats why i had heard it before.
In a genre all it's own, you can't really consider it rap because of its poetry elements, but it's not really industrial because there's not enough of the industrial elements...it's in a genre all it's own.
This person speaks the truth. The is indeed ROCK music. I know it's hard for hipsters/elitists/self-proclaimed music snobs to wrap their head around that, but it's true. This is rock music. This is a rock show.
So stupid they censored the word nigger in this vid. They (the musicians) were obviously doing this as a reminder of the flooding that happened in new orleans and that the american government did fuck all to help rebuild it just because they were mostly black people effected. Fuck you jack, THATS racist. Not 2 great artists performing side by side and doing something for a good purpose and just happened to use the word nigger.
The word "nigger" is the least racist part of this song. This song is not about new orleans. It's about reparations for slavery. This guy is hardcore black power and i think you are ignorant if you can't see that.
im with you.. this is some heavy shit, and if you can't see what he is really talking about than you are as ignorant as the people that censor great art like this.
L.M.F.A.O At "TheSigh"...I WAS NOT "Dissing" Mr. Manson You Idiotic Dumb Fucker...I Was COMPLAMENTING Trent And Saul On There Vocal Melding...Of Course Manson Kcked Shit The Fuck Out When He Was Up There With Proof And Em. ,Just "Different" Than This Performance!...I Have Scene Manson 4 Times Live,And Haven't Actually Scene NIN At All...So You Tell Me If I Am A "Manson Disser" You Scabbed Winged MuthaFucka!
Man...I liked seein' Eminem actually play live with Manson guesting,and i thought manson's rappin' was to be respected,not being a rapper and all...but damn,trent and sauls voices meld SO intensly,Trent sounds like he can rap a lil!...lol
I was getting pretty bored with trent reznor's "goth god" status,and i am SOOO glad to see he is very open to doin' some DAMN mind blowin' great fresh workz with people like Saul.W AND T.V.O.T.R to name some of the best...this is wikid!
nice im lovin the mix of sounds... come to the us trent, and bring saul with you. while you at it, could you release his new cd? haha just kidding cant wait for the cd, and praying for a tour. love ya both
trent picks bands that he likes to open for him to try and expose people to something called good music. you either like it or not. i really couldn't give a flying fuck anyways.
Saul is kool, cheh!!!exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark !!!
I guess this is from the webcast of Voodoo Festival 2005 in NOLA soon after the city was hit by Hurricane Katrina. Yeah, the audio and picture are out of sync. That's a shame because this is a really good performance.
I love this. I really like Saul williams. and im not a political person...but he always makes me think. i need to do more of that. im getting too old to not care anymore about our government and society. amen.
don't get politically envoled, trust me it's terrible to take sides in a divided nation and actually to think your right when rather we could be both wrong. i hate politics and know to much about them.
