Reznor hasn't done the Perfect Drug live, mainly for the fact that that song his is his least favorite creation. It was rushed in production for the Lost Highway soundtrack.

this is better than NIN and the only reason that they have never played it live is because they can't pull it off cause they sux huge dix. motion city is ten million times the band NIN will ever be ever thank ya.
@thespank117 lol? a band thats bad at its own song... this is seriously crap , they back tracked everything , i cant hear the instruments , only reason NIN doesn't play it live is because i does not sound good live , and Motion Citysound track or what ever this retarded bands name is , just proved that
@Venddenta How about you post a cover of the song and then respond. Motion City Soundtrack is very talented and they have even more respect for taking on this song as a cover. As posted above NiN has never to my knowledge played this song live. So for the sake of all us NiN/Motion City Soundtrack fans. Impress us.
@mrmattmoose I believe that Trent has said the drum part is just to complex to be played live. Motion City's drummer isn't playing all the parts. I'm not knocking him, its just near impossible.
Trent might not want to play it just because he doesn't like the song, or a multitude of other reasons. You'd have to ask him.
@Evanmileus I read somewhere that they thought about playing it when they were using Josh Freese but they couldn't come up with a way to make it exciting live or something along those lines, would have been cool to see, they should encored at the Downward Spiral show, would have been a good ending and a crowd pleaser
I'm a very Hardcore NIN fan, but i also like this kind of bands... you know, Saves the Day, New Found Glory and Motion City Soundtrack, and i actually think they did a pretty cool job in every song... I mean, why would you want a cover that sounds exactly the same? What's the point of the cover then?
NIN fan here - very decent cover. The Perfect Drug is not exactly your typical guitar/bass/drum rock song. Can't blame them for programming some of those drums. :P Also, the vocals were great. Too bad the sound on the video is so blown out.. :(
very anticlimatic with the programmed drums. if you're going to do it, do it well. i was actually excited to see how they would do the song after some hype about it. very disappointed.
Art is art and expression. Let it be. The covers are a form of respect. It's totally different than their normal sound and it is pretty fucking cool. Justin is a phenomenal vocalist and has a very wide range.

nin fan here. it was what i expected in that it wasn't amazing, but what i didn't expect was the programmed drums. they would have nailed it if they actually played the drums and guitars more. still a decent try, though I'd like to see KJ Sawka (live DnB drummer fav of mine) play it with a decent vocalist.
Way to butcher a classic. NIN hasn't even touched this song live, MCS ESPECIALLY shouldn't. This cover version sucked, sounded completely unenthusiastic, my opinion.
Too bad the sound quiality is horrible. It sounds like you were doing it fucking awesome thought!

I enjoy MCS and NIN for different reasons. Covering a song the artist himself hasn't done live yet, is a little ballsy, but I admire them for it.
