@hatfisc I disagree. It's a great powerpop/dancerock tune. Every commercially viable album needs a single. It's all about the hook.

[Atak0fth3Umpalumpas]

This is from the bands camera's. They released 450GB worth of footage on bittorent a few months ago. NIN didn't have an open camera policy until the last few wave goodbye shows.

I don't think people appreciate the amount that Alessandro put into their live stuff.

Good editing but... where's Cortini? He doesn't apeears so much as Robin in the whole dvd; like this video, he appears sometimes or others. So sad to editing like this.

[JasonJudas]

the crowd's really loving it, thats a lot of clapping hands (y)

[starstruckstarfuck]

ive never liked THTF live.

it just isnt as good as the studio recording at all.

it doesnt have the dancey-ness of it. this is probably NIN's worst song to play live :(

@daveissod Unfortunately I never had the honor to see him in concert. But now that you say so, I have to admit that you are actually kinda right. Especially on the old albums like Pretty Hate Machine you notice his voice sounding different and more smooth than on these videos. But anyway I wouldn't say he sounds crappy here, he still has his own recognition value. And probably this is because of my shitty PC-speakers, but I'd say on the Beside You In Time BluRay he doesn't sound much different

[daveissod]

@KiffendesFrettchen this not what he usually sounds like, I've seen him 3x in concert and if you listen to his albums, his voice is not broken or raspy, he actually has a very smooth voice. these videos are atypical. in some parts that he's supposed to scream or be louder you can tell he's holding back.

[KiffendesFrettchen]

@davissod: I don't agree. I think his voice is simply amazing, just because it sounds so raspy and broken. That's what makes it so awesome! He has the best voice a man ever had.

[daveissod]

His voice is really going to hell, it sounds like crap on most of these videos. Too much touring i suppose...or getting older.

[LitterCircus]

@KarbiQ Well he gets payed for that it's his job^^

[michaeltgrace]

Definitely. I agree entirely, but the musical landscape was entirely different from 89-94. Head like a hole was a fun, catchy up tempo number that could be played in clubs. A couple songs on Broken were getting catchier.Closer caught on because of the strong hook that resonated with the disenfranchised youth of the time. I'm an old school NIN fan, but I remember the first time me and the boys heard With_teeth, we were in the studio and we were so floored we almost said "fuck it" to our album ha
