3:38 The way he screams 'LONLINESS' is something else. It's not a show-off scream, either. It's raw, pure and very "get this the fuck out of me". I can't put into words how much I appreciate Trent.
The way he moves on the first breakdown after “give in” is hypnotic. Also the little nod he does after “Devils speak…” line. Dude has unparalleled stage presence.
Jake August cocaine is a hell of a drug.its dumb when people say he did heroin.that's a no.I'd say watch the gave up video.its plains as day.I watch that video.I'm thinking come on drummer man blink.your eyes have to be so dry..the drummer j even looks really torqued in this concert.there's a lot of low light.u can catch a peak of him a little bit.lol
Maybe I am weird, but the part in the middle where Trent says, "Please don't hurt me" and then cries out in emotional pain, made me literally cry with tears down my cheeks, the first time I saw that. There is some pretty serious, sincerity in his music!!
+Erica Wright Its the feeling that TOOL gives me. If you can open up yourself to anything, art, life, human interaction, and become vulnerable and allow it to take you over, you have achieved a stronger sense of consciousness
It is amazing how much heroin can help ones career. I have been a NIN fan from day 1. I have been through his heavy junk stages as well as his "clean" stages. Honestly, I like what he creates while fucked up on junk more than what he creates while clean. I do not in any way condone heroin use, but it has made many artists reach levels of stardom they would not have reached without it. I am not even going to start to name artists as the list would be ridiculous. Edit: this is a reply to Ericas comment, but I am also going to post it as its own comment.
Trent Reznor's raw whiting are a huge part of what make their concerts so awesome when after 35 years..... Please tour in 2024. I need to see you live in concert.
This Track, Heresy, and Hurt are probably my favorites off of Downward Spiral, this track is literally so viscerally gorgeous and well constructed. The foundation rhythms like a cold mechanical heart beat, as our protagonist kneels before this reptilian goddess begging for his hedonistic prayers to be answered by her.
I understand it as a song about addiction- Like so many others people think are about sex or written about girls but seems really about fighting inner demons & addiction but it depends on your life how you interpret his music -Hes such a genius that we can relate to it so much in our own way too-I feel It in his voice about what he's really singing about & so MANY of the songs I love-Nine Inch Nails
@@Wonkess_Chonkess They aren’t exactly heavy metal. Technically they are industrial or progressive. Same as Tool and Rage. They are kinda their own thing.
I've seen NIN 3 times. Reptile is my absolute favorite. The opening of this song is an absolute must to turn up the volume to the max. It's begs you to scream out the lyrics.
My absolute favorite NIN song, when he played this in Cleveland last year I was speechless I was so happy. Absolutely amazing and the performance got even better with age somehow. Best show I’ve ever been to 🖤
I must say I don't think anyone else can top NIN with live performances and it's incredible how well they have maintained their quality over the years, Trent certainly hasn't lost his step.
I was four during this concert. It'd be nice to go back in time and watch this show because honestly I slept on NIN for a long time but this show is one of the best live performances I've ever seen everything is perfect even though Trent thinks it sucked. Trent is probably trolling people, he knows how much energy was in that crowd and on that stage that night, damn wish I would have been a little older and could have seen this live. It's honestly legendary.
They had technical problems and he hates making mistakes with his perfectionism and all. But I’m with you, it’s a great set and has stood the test of time. I first saw it on a VHS bootleg about 25 years ago and it blew my mind. The technical mess ups, along with the band all covered in mud, is all part of the charm in that performance.
This is the re recorded version for the official release. What you’re hearing is actually a mix of the show and studio performance. Look up unedited clips and you’ll see why Trent feels this way.
@@xalstarx Mudvayne had technical difficulties in Death Blooms in Germany in 2000 lol can never forget those little things that make the shows stand out
2 days before my 7th birthday. Here I am now, 30 years later, appreciating this amazing performance of one of my favorite NiN songs. The talent and raw emotion on display here is staggering. Trent was so far ahead of the curve he practically created it himself.
Favorite versions of this, legendary. What I grew to love about Trent most is how he creates and combines different sounds together into his music. He sense of sound design is like something out of a film from Industrial Light and Magic. "Reptile" is an extremely dark and powerful example of that, love it. But, it's no wonder he evolved into writing for movies and TV.
people lost their souls, their imagination and everything else these past 10-15 years, nothing like this is ever coming back...just like the Renaissance
@@BakedNConfused if you would like to look up anything / word and their numerical value or meaning , you can use the internet's gematrinator ... just google 'gematrinator' and it should be the 1st thing or 2 to come up
I'm 53 and have been into a lot of great music in my life and have heard a jillion songs but this was SUCH a good song from Trent and a HELL of a performance! He was awesome when he was young and experimenting with drugs
Nine Inch nails is maybe the most succesful band of America, they created something very peculiar and magnificent, not to compare with Nirvana, with The Beatles, with Bowie, with The Doors, with Led Zeppelin, with Pink Floyd, with Chemical Brothers, with Mercury. with Nothing. NINE INCH NAILS IS NINE INCH NAILS AND IT'S UNIQUE AND THEY ARE THE REAL SUPER STARS. TRENT REZNOR YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST, LOVE YOU!.
FUN FACT, the guitar Trent is playing was smashed at some point in 94 and then oldmate billy howerdel and he repaired it then years later this same gibson LP that Trent used here was all over the perfect circles 1st album, billy even uses this same guitar to this day!!!
I was 15. Saw MTV’s entire coverage. Recorded the majority of it on like 4 VHS tapes. This is the performance that left me with my jaw on the floor. Rewatched it for years.
Sorry if the following comparison is too extreme, but this track feels like Trent is testifying your soul and deflowering it really hard. This is the music that touches, God bless Trent Reznor.
I was a butcher in a grocery store in the early 2000 and one of my weird coworkers brought in the entire NIN catalog on CD. We would listen while cleaning up all the blood everywhere ( everyone thought we were strange lol ) and I fell in LOVE with these dudes forever! I will always thank my coworker for showing me the way.
I'm always coming back to various videos of this one too- I love Trents performance & emotions at the time of this just as I love seeing him now Having Overcome so Rock On Trent Nine Inch Nails
Maniacal sound only Trent can truly deliver on this chord - combined with some Serbian film kinda gritty edgy snuff porn demon summoning vibe going on - iconical!
The nihilism breathes through this song. Hm. I think, this is Trent's love for drugs - "Need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness, I now know the depths I reach are limitless". I am glad, that he's out of it.
I agree on both-But I Love this song & performance & so many other live performances of this song but this 1 really is A GREAT as is the concert with David Bowie- they both sing &also later on with Peter Murphy- They all have their unique GREAT parts & I love them all but 'Need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness-LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT PART- especially in this performance & I can relate to it & reminds me a bit of a poem I wrote around 30 years ago -Wow-I just realized how long ago but I just started listening to Nine Inch Nails August 2021 yet I was writing a poem with a very similar line back then-Not the -Same but similar & ncluding word 'alleviate & about love & pain whereas I see Reptile being about 'using-In my opinion & from the raw emotion & words -It really seems to me about using & addiction & my teenage poem was about love & loneliness & all that LOL but the pain really comes through his voice when he screams on that part & I too was amazed & thought 'wow that is talent & devotion to be on the floor & still playing the guitar & saw this in other shows too like falling with keyboard but still playing it & looking like he's holding onto it to keep himself standing up yet his voice & playing sound perfect & the emotions are all there & it's not a sloppy mess-Instead it's sheer talent & drive & desire to put on a great show no matter what condition he is in- That's how it looks to me at least
@@youneedpeoplelikeme5376I also like this song the most. I love it. There is everything in it, there is love in it, pain, desire, hopelessness, there is a whole life in it, all misery, suffering, because life is just like that. The essence of everything, the essence of being, selfreflection. Everything and nothing. Trent is so authentic in it. It is a very personal, honest statement about himself, I admire his courage to look into him and shout to the world his deepest thoughts and feelings. It is a raw revelation of himself without embellishment and at the same time so wonderful.
