[kareeji]

NIN = 0 dislikes

[toolbass24]

The industrial guitar riff(s) at 4:01 defines this song! My favorite album

[Bunnyxdsingh]

NO dislikes hell yeah

[btf34]

definitely the most openly hostile song NIN has done and ever will do. just the way the tension builds and builds through all the instrumentation, then the brief respite with trent singing, then the climax...fuck.

uh, one word . . . Vrenna

[ravenouscolonelhart]

now, when people are listening to albums less and less as albums, and instead jumping from whatever catches their eye to whatever catches their eye next (wikipedia's a good analogy), it's great to see a performance like this, which deserves to be watched from start to finish. the downward spiral one of the last amazing concept albums (until the next one?) was perfect material for it too. thanks thisoneisonus.

[TunerLegend17]

this drummer fucking rips, he plays every song perfectly. but he doesnt have that amazingly dirty and raw flare that josh freese has.

Incredible. The crowd was awesome. Such an explosive performance. That's a very different way of ending that song too. Great performance, but not quite the same without Trent playing the 3rd guitar...

@daakins Maybe, but that isn't saxophone Trent. Purest Feeling is saxophone Trent!
