This is such a criminally underrated album. Imo, this is like NIN's White Stripes album. Definitely stripped back, garage sounding, and simplistic. Love this album
Amazing how fluid angry & raw Trent does the vocals.Its hate,love,a hard fuck,pleasure & pain,efficient effortless chaos,madness,insanity,sadness,happiness & divinity almost within reach.Pure art,pure sound,Pure infinite dimensional surfacing beyond time or space.Genius!!!!
Such a great set! I love how Trent has to catch hgis breath at the break in 1,000,00 at 2:58. I feel it too. Great song to wake up to!! Josh Freese's drumming amazing and steady as a metronome!
The refrain for "Head Down" always gets me because it reminds me of how I felt when I was incarcerated for a year. This is not my face - I shaved and changed my hair to try and appear sympathetic. This is not my life - I was kind of in denial about where my choices had brought me. I didn't want this to be my life. And there is not a single thing here I can recognize - I was stuck existing somewhere that wasn't home, that was entirely alien to me, with no one I knew to help me. This is all a dream - Sometimes it felt like a dream when you dream of home, but wake up in a cell. I lived in my day dreams because it was easier than being trapped in a cell. And none of you are real - You pretend to be friends with the people there, to get along, but there's no chance I'll be continuing the friendship outside the prison walls. And I'd give anything; you know I'd give anything... - I would've given just about anything to get out of that cell, to see the trees, to go where I pleased, to be with my family. But I knew I was stuck and I was paying for what I'd done. That last line is given so much emotion to it, such aching, to get things back the way they were. I wish I hadn't screwed up as badly as I had; that I could have been smart enough to have taken the chance I had to correct my mistakes, but didn't.
Amazing upload. 00:00 1.000.000 04:12 Letting You 08:09 Discipline 12:19 Echoplex 17:09 Head Down ...and for me, the most puzzling question remains: why didn't they recorded the whole The Slip in this session; it would have been absolute awesomeness.
Every time i come back to watch...as much as listen... My whole existence is uplifted... Everyone in this group...is a fucking legend... Showing how its done.
I agree with others here, this rehearsals version of Head Down is better than the studio version. Was lucky enough to see this Tour a couple times across Texas. Trent has, is and will always be my favorite musician and it's nice to see him much happier these days. Just watched the How To Destroy Angels Chicago Show here on RU-vid and I highly recommend that as well if you haven't seen it
Josh Freese, people!! I've seen NIN live around five times and Josh even hit me in the chest with his stick after a concert. I wasn't paying attention, I thought someone hit me, and I was surprised I saw a drumstick in my hand (I was at the moment holding my right hand on the left side of my chest, on the left peck). It's been a while since then, but I kinda wish that I was a musician at the same level back then as I am today. I would have appreciated his drumming and been much more in awe of this band live than I was. And I loved the show! But I would focus more on the musicianship today, I'm pretty sure.
Yes, I'm so glad I bought that!! I still have it, but out of laziness (when wanting to watch it (because its buried in a box), I would normally just try to find uploaded versions of the DVD here on youtube, & until recently, hadn't found more than 1 song's video... but... voila!
Nice and high and far apart Just like they said I built this place with broken parts Just like they said You chip away the old version of you You'd be surprised at what you can do I'm safe in here Irrelevant Just like they said My voice just echoes off these walls You feel me breathe I am watching you I see it all The many ways you can't get to me I see it all I see the hell you put yourself through Oh the things I could do (if I wanted to) My voice just echoes off these walls My voice just echoes off these walls I don't need anything at all My voice just echoes off these walls And I just slowly fade away You will never ever get to me in here
the end of Echoplex sends me to another World. all my thoughts, worries and doubts dissappear and I'm just sitting there fully enveloped with the riff. This album is very special to me, however this song is a stand out.
straight out of the gate ...right from the 1st fucking note ....Finck is just the most massive guitarist on earth .. even Hendrix just nodded in approval.
This live set was actually produced by Ken Andrews of Failure, too. I think it sounds even better than the original album. The bass in Discipline is especially good here.
Hey Trent Andrew from Cle and friends w/Kevin McMahon. After I saw this live I turned to my girl and said I can't top that, smashing one of my guitars when we returned home. Your performance has always been top notch._
Man… this set amps me up every time! Ready to go fight the world now 💪 powerful as hell, especially since it’s not in my top nails albums. Live it hits different though
One of my most beloved gifts, right from Trent to me: The Slip Album. Always -> ALL WAYS on my playlist, all over my cloudstorage... you want it? Original? Trent have one for You!!
