The evolution of Trent is evidenced by the recognition he's received throughout the years, in addition to the expansion of his musical library (i.e. Soul).
A lot of people misinterpretate the lyrics in this song. Trent wrote these lyrics to himself and its actually about self destruction/drug addiction, calling him self out. Also at first the track sounds like a catchy poppy industrial track, but the beauty of NIN is when you dig deeper there is a lot of interesting ideas going on production wise and in the layers.
@@kristaspecht This isn't the official meaning. It is still unknown and probably always will be. The most specific thing Trent ever said about it was that the album was about someone stripping away every aspect of their life while going through a process of deterioration...a downward spiral. And even that was stated before the album was completed, so the exact theme may have shifted.
An extended version of this song plays at the beginning of the movie "Se7en" from 1995. Trent went on to do the scores for multiple other movies from the director David Fincher. (The Social network, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Gone Girl)
This is off The Downward Spiral album.. the whole record is a masterclass in sound design and made me a big fan of NIN the moment I finished it. Check out "Mr. Self-Destruct" for something heavy or "Piggy" for something mellow. 😊
I personally love the song Ruiner. I've definitely heard heavier bands then NiN but the shear emotion in some of their hardest songs(Reptile, Burn, Somewhat Damaged, Ruiner and many more) is almost unmatched to me and is certainly unique.
So, as quickly as the song ended, it actually flows into the next, Ruiner- my fave song. And yes, the whole album is an industrial masterpiece. Thank you for reacting to this. More NIN please 💕💕
I remember hearing it on the radio as my dad drove me home from school... it was uncensored, I was surprised he didn't change the station and was subtly boppin along with it
I swear to God you caught the fire like we ALL did in the 90's. When this song hit everyone was on the floor finding that same bump. The dances were nasty af and fun! Trent is a freaking genius.
When Trent was inducted into the Hall of Fame, it was the morning his fifth child was born. He is the ultimate family man, and couldn't care less about his nomination. The man is a menche, and a legend.
"The Downward Spiral" is as close to a perfect album as you can get. It's close to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and maybe closer than The Who's "Tommy". I dig the track "The Becoming" with it's magnificent ebb and flow.
and now you must watch the official music video. "i recognize this beat from somewhere" -Hollywood yeah, you recognize it from NIN. its one of their most radio played songs and one of their most well known, but not in any movie that I know of.
Me and my two friends did a very drunk karaoke version of this song one night. We were terrible, I don’t think the men in the bar cared about how we sounded though. We got the most applause and cheers.
This was one of NIN's best known songs along with Head Like a Hole and Hurt. The song was played on the radio and MTV but edited obviously. Another song of theirs I liked was Perfect Drug, which was used in the movie Lost Highway I think. Over 30 years and Trent and his crew are still at it.
Trent is a genius. Solid song writer and producer. He has been behind many other artist's or group's work, including APC, Jane's Addiction, Marilyn Manson, and Puscifer. The Downward Spiral is a masterpiece. Heresy and March of the Pigs are two of my favorites. Keep em coming guys.
It's THE best way to start a Monday morning 😜 I remember getting this CD from my cousin when I was 14 and immediately fell in love with the entire album.
ABOUT TIME!!!! Really want y'all to see the vid! Was played out on MTV & radio, bleeped of course. Sure most Gen Xers like me see the video visuals when hearing it, esp Trent floating at the end. Somewhat used in Se7en, but also in the best scene of The Hitcher w/ Sean Bean. Lil tidbit, I had to download the instrumental version yrs ago coz our 4 yo was singng this all the time! Great bday reaction guys! Thank you!!! 🖤
The instrumental outro is just undeniably awesome and epic. The high-hat that carries the beginning of the instrumental I love so much. You can't not move when you hear that.
One of the greatest tracks ever composed. Trent Reznor is amazing and will go down as one of the greatest Producers, Lyricists, and musicians of our time. Trent us responsible for many amazing LP’s and EP’s. He is also responsible for countless Movie scores that most people would’ve even realize he produced. The man is a legend.
The album downward spiral was reportedly also part of the inspiration for the novel fight club. If you want to keep on with some NIN some of the live show they did with David Bowie might be worth a watch. I'm still mad at my 15 yr old self for missing that concert.
Perfect way to approach a week. You're basically telling Monday what you think of it, lol. This does get played on the radio, it's their biggest song next to 'Hurt'. You should definitely check out other songs from this album like 'March of the Pigs', 'Mr Self Destruct', 'Reptile', 'Ruiner', etc. There isn't a bad song on this album tbh.
Any reaction that starts out with "ummm...." is gonna be gold! 🤣 amazing song, amazing album, Amazing band can't wait to see them in LA this year! Also watching hot chicks dance to this song back in the 90s in every freakin night club across the u.s. was awesome as well
This is NIN's most popular song. It's so overplayed, and I often skip it when I'm listening to a shuffle of Trent's body of music. That being said, I still think it's an absolute banger. It just pales in comparison to much of his other work. Much like Tool, Trent pushes the boundaries of what music can be. The guy is a genius, and once you go down the NIN rabbit hole, you'll start to see why his work is so revered. The man has accomplished so much, not just as NIN.
Most popular? Come on now. The hand that feeds. Something I can never have. Way more popular. This may be the most popular NIN song for people that don't know who performs it, but NIN fans for sure have far more favorites than this one.
@@joejacobsen6822 I didn't say Nine Inch Nails doesn't have other popular songs.. I said it is NIN *most popular* song, meaning generally. That's an objective fact. Just go on Spotify, and you'll see that 'Closer' has been streamed almost twice as many times as the 2nd most popular song, 'The Hand That Feeds'. It doesn't matter if Trent's most ardent fans, people like me, don't like it as much as others. I'm talking in a broader sense; fans and nonfans alike.
I don’t really know how anyone can disagree with you here. Granted I’m not the biggest NIN fan, however I do enjoy several songs from them but I’ve never even heard of “Something I Can Never Have” I would assume “Wish” and “Only” would even be more popular than a song I’ve never even heard of. Not trying to be an ass, but “Closer” would be my number 1 guess as to which of their songs was most popular.
Oh hell here we go..love this one, but the whole Downward Spiral album is a masterpiece. You all gotta react to Sunspots, Ringfinger, and Something I Can Never Have all 3 are amazing. Great reaction to this one guys.
I was looking forward to this reaction! I love this song and album! Check out "something I can never have"... Loved your reaction Hollywood! And smokey explained the contents of the song so G rated! Loved it! Lol. Thanks guys! Happy Monday!❤️🤓
When drugs and darkness fails, you turn back to where you belong and realize.... She gets me closer to God. As we are meant to be. This song is more than that, it's truth, a masterpiece
I love your reaction Hollywood, first you couldn't believe it, then you were cautiously digging it, and then full on embracing this sexy shit! I wanted to have a smoke with you haha! Awesome reaction 👏
When MTV still played music, we could see the original video a lot. NIN live is very good too. You promised to do more Epica in the Sancta Terra review. I can recommend Consign to Oblivion, live in Paris. You will be blown away!
I saw this in concert at WOODSTOCK 94. NIN climbed from the mud pit in front of the stage to start their show. They were covered in mud. Metallica and Aerosmith followed them that night. Melissa Etheridge and the ROLLINS band were on just before them.
one of my fave bands,went to see them on the royal albert hall and they were unreal.got tickets for me and my daughter the other day to see them in june can't wait,listen to where is everybody,we're in this together,the way is out through(live)hurt(live or studio)right where it belongs(live version is beautiful)etc etc etc keep em coming lads have a good day
Closer (Precursor) (Se7en) Filleted like a piece of musical sashimi, Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" was virtually unrecognisable in the form it took for the opening credits of David Fincher's jaw-dropping 1995 film Se7en.
This song sounded amazing in the club, it had the whole crowd out on the dancefloor. It did get radio airplay and it was the song played during the opening credits of the movie "Se7en"
This is one of my top favorite songs. Y'all gotta check out something live from NIN from Woodstock 94 when they took the stage after a mud fight started by green day, was iconic. I'm so jealous of my brother in law who was there, and of my sister who has met Trent numerous times because he'd regularly visit the record store she worked at in New Orleans
The entire Downward Spiral album is perfection. Closer is probably my favorite NIN song. You should watch the video, it was censored but the uncensored is still out there.
It's almost impossible to pick the next NIN song to devour, but I'd say give "Somewhat Damaged" a shot. It's also one of the best opening songs for NIN live shows.
Hollywood’s face when the chorus kicked in 🤣🤣🤣. The video for this is like the video from The Ring times 20 LOL. I will suggest “Only”, “Reptile”, and “Sunspots”. The Downward Spiral and With Teeth albums are fantastic, and Dave Grohl drums on the With Teeth album.
There’s a reason Trent has won multiple Grammys, Oscars, is already in the RnR Hall of Fame, and is beloved in the industry. He’ll go down as one of the most influential musicians of the last 100 years. Dude knows how to write a hook and a beat
This song was used in the begining of a movie called se7en with morgan freeman and vrad pitt. That's probably where you heard it check out Liberate by Disturbed Also, another great NIN song: The Perfect Drug
NIN is great. i did not appreciate Trent's artistry when i was younger. But his music has always been something that grabs your attention and speaks to the deeper parts in you. Currently on my playlist are some good Nails tracks - Only, Everyday is Exactly the Same, Less Than
This song was definitely played A LOT on the radio. Words were just bleeped out. The video was also played on MTV. Also, this song was played in probably every strip club through out the 90s.
I went to see Queens of the Stone Age perform as I am a big fan of their tunes. NIN also played and they ended up blowing QOTSA off the park. They are so underrated and live are crazy good.
you went to see the queens of the stone age and were impressed by NIN. I went to see NIN and was impressed by the queens of the stone age. gotta love music :) I knew who QOTSA was but was never really into them much, they earned my respect that night.
Nah bro, this song is a jam! Rock out! lol I love the psychological take on using sex as an escape in this! Brilliant layering too from Trent! Awesome reaction guys!
This song is off of 'The Downward Spiral', which is pretty much entirely about drug addiction. Not a bad song, by any means (far from it, in fact), but when people first hear this song, they immediately think it's about sex without diving into the context of it being part of the album. And in that context, the song has a veeeeeery different meaning. The song still gets radio airplay (albeit heavily edited). For more off the same album, I'd say check out "March of the Pigs" or "Reptile".
Every trash talkers is right! One thing I didn't see , is he scored the natural born killers soundtrack, which ranges from rap to country to metal to industrial, an amazing ARTIST!
This was written by the same guy that won an Oscar for the Disney movie Soul. He won the Oscar for doing the soundtrack 😂
The evolution of Trent is evidenced by the recognition he's received throughout the years, in addition to the expansion of his musical library (i.e. Soul).
Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste
His 1st Oscar was for the music from The Social Network.
We're so lucky to have Trent in our lives.
@@jeffhelton3364 Jon Batiste is super talented. His music really hits the soul.. fr
“Is this song safe to jam to?”
No. That’s what makes it awesome. NIN is dangerous.
A lot of people misinterpretate the lyrics in this song. Trent wrote these lyrics to himself and its actually about self destruction/drug addiction, calling him self out. Also at first the track sounds like a catchy poppy industrial track, but the beauty of NIN is when you dig deeper there is a lot of interesting ideas going on production wise and in the layers.
Wow...never knew that. But it makes sense.

NIN is a project I’ve wanted to see live for years, but I felt like I wasn’t ready yet. I need that now.
@@MagicMan11130 one of the best live shows I’ve seen, hands down
Whole song is about being owned by DRUGS period
Trent Reznor is a national treasure and should be protected at all costs.
Yes he should ❤️
InterNational Treasure - music's a gift to the world.
@@wulfgold true.
Fuck yes! That is why my son's name is Trent Danger!

@@jvig7353 Right. Thanks for the correction!
Contributed to making it the creepiest opening titles ever.
This is off The Downward Spiral album.. the whole record is a masterclass in sound design and made me a big fan of NIN the moment I finished it. Check out "Mr. Self-Destruct" for something heavy or "Piggy" for something mellow. 😊
Or "Big man with a gun" for something that makes you feel like you can punch a hole in anything
Piggy off of their live album (And all that could have been) is dope
I personally love the song Ruiner.

Ruiner is my favorite song on that album too👍
Ruiner is so good
Fuck yes!!
Yeah, I almost can’t listen to the last few piano notes of Closer without immediately wanting to hear Ruiner lol
I've got to add my vote for Ruiner also, about as close as Trent gets to rapping, except for maybe Big Gun (which is somehow more filthy than Closer)
This song got a lot of radio and MTV play back in the 90s, and yes, they played a more radio friendly edited version
I remember hearing it on the radio as my dad drove me home from school... it was uncensored, I was surprised he didn't change the station and was subtly boppin along with it

Thats what I love about the 90s nothing was taboo pc and cancel culture didn't exist.. hes also from a small town 20 minutes from Pittsburgh
I remember sweating my ass off in the club dancing to this song 🤭🖤
One of the best songs from the 90's. The music video is pretty rad also.
and now you must watch the official music video.
"i recognize this beat from somewhere" -Hollywood
yeah, you recognize it from NIN. its one of their most radio played songs and one of their most well known, but not in any movie that I know of.
Seven
Me and my two friends did a very drunk karaoke version of this song one night. We were terrible, I don’t think the men in the bar cared about how we sounded though. We got the most applause and cheers.
Nah when people love this song, they're just happy to hear people sing it lol. The drunkenness just adds to the experience.

This is my ringtone for my wife.
This song is disturbingly brilliant. Also was used in the opening of my 2nd favorite movie of all time 'Se7en'. 🖤👏🏼
I'm ashamed to admit it at my age that I liked this song when it came out and still like it...lol
Nothing to be ashamed about! Certified banger.
I'm not ashamed to admit I was rocking at their shows a few years back in Texas!
And I will add that it was my absolute joy to see them for the first time last year with my daughters.
My age? 70.
Blasphemous to feel ashamed!!!
My dad took me to a NIN concert when I was like 10 lol.

This song was all over radio, MTV, clubs, in the 90s.
This song just builds in intensity….. like something else I can think of.
Trent Reznor has been my spirit animal since 1989

"I know that beat from somewhere," Hollywood just subconsciously telling on himself for visiting the local strip club a couple too many times..
"Trash talkers! Really?! It's a Monday morning!"
Me, an intellectual: .... Wait for it. 😂😂😂
The song was used in the opening credits for Seven, with Brad Pitt. A very dark movie and worth a watch if you haven't seen it already.

Limp Bizket used the hook from this in their song Hotdog. Fred Durst also mentioned "9 inch nails get knocked the fuck out" during the same song
One of my favs the video scared the outta me as a kid lol
It's funny that you mentioned Megadeth in the beginning. Trent actually did a remix of the Song Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth back in the day.
you guys are funny😆 love your reactions)
This song always makes me smile
This is my favorite band
Closer (Precursor) (Se7en)
Filleted like a piece of musical sashimi, Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" was virtually unrecognisable in the form it took for the opening credits of David Fincher's jaw-dropping 1995 film Se7en.
This song brings me back to the days of going to the underground goth club...this song went hard.....
They played this on 99X and the music video for this is UhHhHhHhHhhHhHHHh something else
Thanks for letting the song ride without talking 👍 for that alone, I'm subscribing
One if the greatest metal club tracks of its era!
The music video to this is a work of art
The remix version, Closer (Precursor) is used in the film Se7en.

This beat was used on Sway In the Morning when Kanye West did that "nothing rhymes" freestyle lol
The clubs back in the early 2000s when the song came on were insane
To follow along with Smokey’s “Doom Generation” reference the next song/video to watch is “Happiness is Slavery” that will give you a great Monday!
MORE OF THE PRODIGY PLZ live on stage plz .. There was nothing like a PRODIGY gig..✌🇮🇪🐜🐜
Yes. You guys gotta keep going down the spiral that is NIN.
99x played this back in the day. Someone danced to this in Magic Mike 2 as well lol
There’s a reason Trent has won multiple Grammys, Oscars, is already in the RnR Hall of Fame, and is beloved in the industry. He’ll go down as one of the most influential musicians of the last 100 years. Dude knows how to write a hook and a beat
His songs have been in so many movies whether they're straight from an album or songs made for the movie and of course he also scores movies
Tons of trailers, too.
I don’t know if anyone said it before but the reason you know this song or sound is from the movie seven. They did the opening sequence.
This song was used in the begining of a movie called se7en with morgan freeman and vrad pitt. That's probably where you heard it
check out Liberate by Disturbed
Also, another great NIN song: The Perfect Drug
He does write movie scores
