Nine Inch Nails - Ringfinger, 1989 Pretty Hate Tour, NJ

[tubbytwee3]

Snowflake effect: I wanna have christmas w/ NIN

[SeleneSybil]

I wish I could've been there!!!

[ninman7]

Is that Richard Patrick (Filter fame) on the guitar?

[hellchild65]

@ninman7 yep, he was in NIN in the late 80's-early 90's

[reznorfan15]

trent has a lyrical talent that is absent in many bands today.

[MrEspaillat]

fuck..i wish i was there! too bad i was born 8 years late to see this show.

[etherealstill]

@STANKYweaselTEETS Or maybe there is no "true meaning." Maybe they are intensionally ambiguous to apply to the most number of people and to therefore become more marketable.

[SkEEzyJ]

pretty cool Trent got an award last night.

[Cschive]

Yes! Thsi took place 2 years before I was born

[treznor8]

fuck,i luv this

[indusitalia]

fantastic

[10Hours1Minute]

Fanastic. This is the eve of Americas industrial revolution. He was also in Miami. I think the edge. My friend saw him. anyone?

[10Hours1Minute]

Fanastic. This is the eve of Americas industrial revolution.

[xBillyTheKidx]

@pjorgenson1979 almost positive that he was sober during and up until the tour in support of The Downward Spiral.

[leskiable]

Trent appears ageless. But now he looks like he's on steroids.

[leskiable]

I love the energy in these shows. I was actually 4 when this tour was in progress and my MOM was at this very show.

[hughes40]

Pretty Hate Machine was pure genius. work unlike anything even up to today's standards. what I'd like to see is remastered version of it. common Trent. just do it.

[penydred]

trent reznor was such a douche bag that night...

[miguelisms]

@penydred

well if he wasn't then he wasn't trent.

[Venddenta]

@penydred why?

[pbjotter4]

i have to say richard patrick is really shredding it out there on guitar! what ever happened to filter?

[littleminx8]

hot...I was in my first semester of college, who would have thought I would have gone on to meet him

[budmotor]

always fourteen !

[DivisionbyZer0]

best version of this song is on a bootleg whose name I can't recall -- has now I'm nothing, 2 versions of head like a hole, 2 versions of sin, down in it, ringfinger, the only time, the only time, that's what I get and a couple more songs. The drums are fairly prominent in the album. On the cover of the bootleg theres a photo of him with a bowl cut with his hair in really small braids. Anyone have a clue which bootleg I am talking about?

[nekosolidus]

i think the bootleg of nin your talking about is : solid gold hell....i could be wrong, it's been a long while

[DivisionbyZer0]

that's the one. thanks.

[JakeSpade79]

one of the best nin songs

[theradioactivehe]

i was four months old when this concert happened.

i still saw this song in concert.

but i still wish i couldve seen it then.

[zombiega1]

i was 15 y.o. i was there! great show!

[reznorfan15]

to be able to have been there i would do anything.

[NoBadBlood]

i agree in the fullest.

[soap0688]

He looks so skinny and frail...such a contrast to how he looks today.

[FahtimaHatima]

it's called the aging process.

[Jaaaaam]

True, but it usually happens in reverse.

[Hobohodou]

It's what happens when you lay off drugs and actually take care of yourself! I'm happy for him.

[nindes]

wow old video

[mjceeyore]

Sexy young Richard Patrick. Thank you for this footage. Awesome!

[latch78]

when i first heard "kinda i want to" back in '94, i also was sure it was about fucking another guy...and still do. thats 2 against 1.

[Staina]

yunghoodz...kinda i want to is not about fucking a guy I hate to tell you.

[TylerSpyder23]

I don't know man, a lot of these new bands are complete shit. Especially their names. Come on, Fall Out Boy? Panic at the Disco? Be Your Own Pet? As I Lay Dying? Cobra Starship? The Color Fred? Drop Dead Gorgeous? From First To Last?!?!?!?!?! Does anyone in their right mind, SEE A FUCKIN' PROBLEM HERE??? Not only do these bands have completely ridiculous names, their music is COMPLETE SHIT. Apparently its the cool thing when creating a band name to call it a 4 word PHRASE. It's fuckin' stupid.

[G0DlivesUND3RWAT3R]

well said

[skaterrdb]

just because you named a bunch of shitty bands doesn't mean that music now is shit lol

[TylerSpyder23]

Keep in mind I was talking about new bands. Not old bands with new releases. lolz

[SergeantDanK]

@TylerSpyder23 i Agree 110% my friend.

[plentyosoul]

NIN is fantastic! My favorite from PHM. I was a year old at the time. I've always liked music from '90 or before. Not the crap that's out now.

[scorpiocand]

Thanx NJscorpio. From one scorpio to another, Trent is hot! Cant believe Trent was 24 here, God I was only 14 . . . BUGGER!

[YungHoodz]

Sanctified is about a crack pipe

Kinda i want to is about fucking a dude

and ringfinger is about someone who does anything for a girl even when it makes them feel like shit

[alleybat66]

If ya like these guys, then you should check out Sad Lovers and Giants, especially their "Feeding the Flame" LP circA 1983, u'LL LOVE 'em as well. CHEERS!

[tomstyx2000]

sanctified is about smoking crack

[XxINCHAINSxX]

i was waiting for the right answer, i guess no one but i knows what its like to be dependent on a marriage partner. this is about trent's parents, and the struggles that he observed when he was younger. eventually, he devoloped the same characteristics. It's about marriage, man, I wish Nine Inch Nails's fans were as egotistical and smart as Tool's fans. Peace.

[vurtuality]

Tool? Were they even thought of when this was made? What's with the hating.

[Friesianwelshx]

Gee, I thought it was about flowers and little pink bunnies.

[dietmoxie5]

thats closer but not even right, its about a guy whos so devoted to a girl who wont just commit to him, and as shitty as that makes him feel he still loves her

[vomikiss]

thsi song is acually about crack cocaine as so, "head like a hole"

[RanRan15]

i think "sanctified" is to. i read that on a fanpage where they stated reznor said that in an interview.

but eh, it's open for interpretation.

[hfyuutr]

I thought Head like a hole was about endless greed, and the extent to which some people will always be ready to become whores for money.

[vomikiss]

yeah..crack whores

[misterlynch]

you want an interpretation of the lyrics? simple: If you're going to give me the ring back, I WANT THE FINGER IT WAS ON TOO!

[xakestar]

i need to intrepret this song for my eng assignment lol, HELP!lol

[jafrocubic]

I'd say you have a very cool English teacher and thus need a lot less help than any of us did when we were in your shoes. Fuckin' kids using the internet to get answers for school assignments. Think for yourself: that's what music, literature, and life is about. Wow, sorry to be so pompous and pretentious! Too much heavy music for one night. Hahaha. Have fun with it.

[xakestar]

haha well i didnt intend to cheat if thats what u mean, i just wanted to see how others look at this song and how intreprett it. haha anyways that was long time ago, i ended up with a 95% i believe lol and everyone clapped for me lol hahaha:P you know whatt?? IM GOIN TO SEE NIN LIVE IN JULY!! its a fuckin dream come true

[Fletch3r123]

Im so dissapointed because I was born around the time that NIN started. At least I grew up listening to them because we lived in clevelend and actually got Pretty Hate Machine back when Trent himself was pushing it around.

[infectiousgruvz]

you tube comments are so lame. Especially the music ones

[Bossypenis]

What's lame about them?

[Phoneman22]

You know whats even lamer? Narrow-minded, ignorant comments -_-

[Bossypenis]

Late 90's is when it started. I'm only 17 though.

[Bossypenis]

Dead. Religion is dying. Politics are dying. Entertainment and Art are crumbling. Something has fucked up down the line. Somewhere between the apathy of the grunge movement and the materialism of rap.

[inxsroxsmysoxs8892]

love this song, i wish i was at that concert

[Laddil]

Yeah me too, I would have really loved to go to a 1994 (self-destruct) concert though.

[yourugly34342]

awsome song and awsome band. I gave you 5 stars & I favorited it. :) I<3trent!

[adamsinger77]

i was just talking about how NIN played the pipeline just the other day! awesome now i can prove it!

[n1ghtmother]

I had this playing as I walked down the isle!!!

I don't think the vicar knew what to do about it. LOL

[msselfdestruct84]

the head banging made me chuckle

[Morgetheyne]

This song kicks major ass! I love the lighting too man fuckin trippy.

[prod1gy3000]

Wow.

Now who would I kill to have been at that concert...

[distortion10000]

I agree, great song.

I wish I could've seen them back then. Been listening to NIN since -90, but never got to see them until -99. First time they played in Sweden was -05.

[ResistingHolyan]

I wish i'd have been yourself.

[boneheadandturbo]

i think a women ( aka. bitch ) phukt him up bad .

[evilethics]

GaCK_TAkULAr

[theINSIDEout001]

I'm curious what the rest of their set-list was. Probably "Get Down, Make Love", and "Physical". Since there's only 10 songs on Pretty Hate Machine.

[Holyan]

I wish i was there...

I love this microstage :)

[maledictorchid]

Then this HAS to be the heaviest new wave song EVER! lol

[NIN1995]

my mom always would paly trents music when i was yung, like 2 and 3 and so on, but this was always the song that caught my attention when i was yunger.

[pdecarlo]

I always thought this song was ridiculous. 80's new wave relic, probably leftover ideas from Exotic Birds.

[NINandNirvana]

maybe... but trent didnt write for the birds
