Really? It sounds sloppy here. Lots of effects. I think it would be hard for it not to sound good on some levels. The album version is very good. Crisp. NIN is my favorite band. I just feel like their guitars are more tone then technique. Whereas Jimi Hendrix....
Agree with Matt. It's horrible. This might be the least impressive band lineup in NIN history. I'd pay a lot to see them play it today with Robin on lead actually playing the 16ths the recording has.
@@micawbersmu I think that's a purely subjective stance It depends on how your ear is trained and your individual strengths. Some people have a penchant for tone, others technique.
I remember Trent saying he didnt play it on the fragility tour because they just couldnt get the sound right. I was surprised to find this. Sounds good to me.
I think something a lot of people don’t take into account is the strain a full 2 hour set takes on a singer. (Especially without any real intermission) It’s one thing when you’re doing 30/45 minute sets, but once you hit a level of success like NIN is at the audience expectation of longer shows goes up so much. I don’t doubt for an instant that Trent can still hit all of these songs in their original keys, but when you have to sing/scream/yell/perform 30+ songs in a row and hit every note, it becomes close to impossible to do in their original keys without a complete loss of voice for the remainder of a set, let alone the fact that the next day he has do it all again, and the next day, and the next day, and so on..another thing to think about is that this is a rock based performance. It’s not a singer just singing, it’s a singer giving himself completely, running around like an animal, screaming, etc..NIN shows are obviously a lot of work. Anywho, something to think about! Trent is in his 50’s and still putting most 20-30 year old musicians to shame with his unbelievable performances...if him lowering the key of a few songs a night means we get better, longer NIN shows/tours/career, I say who cares? Still fucking kills it every time! 🤘🏻
i love this...these lyrics are a soundtrack to our incredible lives...can’t wait to do it again. we live, we die, we live again. c u on the next train in to town!
He actually blew his voice out recording this song so even back then he had trouble hitting those notes. This is the only song where he has trouble performing live. Still awesome.
LYRICS!! I've become impossible holding on to when When everything seemed to matter more The two of us All used and beaten up Watching fate as it flow down the path we Have chose You and me We're in this together now None of them can stop us now We will make it through somehow You and me If the world should break in two Until the very end of me Until the very end of you Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin They pick and they pull Trying to get their fingers in Well they've got to kill what we've found Well they've got to hate what we fear Well they've got to make it go away Well they've got to make it disappear The farther I fall I'm beside you As lost as I get I will find you The deeper the wound I'm inside you For ever and ever I'm a part of You and me We're in this together now None of them can stop us now We will make it through somehow You and me If the world should break in two Until the very end of me Until the very end of you All that we were is gone we have to hold on All that we were is gone we have to hold on When all our hope is gone we have to hold on All that we were is gone but we can hold on You and me We're in this together now None of them can stop us now We will make it through somehow You and me Even after everything You're the queen and I'm the king Nothing else means anything
***** if the most we can say is that he has lost the high end then so be it. Otherwise, I think he has actually gotten better as a live vocalist over the years. Way more disciplined than he used to be, just from watching some of the old vids.
Sounds like they've lowered the key down a half step (from C# to C) which isn't uncommon for performers to do - singing repeatedly night after night on tour is very taxing on your voice and you can end up doing damage to your voice if you're straining it to hit your highest notes every night
Funny... everybody thinks Trent sings better in this vid than he does in the actual record. He does, but only bc theyre playing the song like a note lower. Still, fantastic song great performance
I suggest that NIN plays it early in their set and then utilise their technological nous to enhance the inherent emotional and sonic qualities and impurities of a broken voice that's inevitable after so much effort. Samplers and delay worked for Uncle Al for so many years but the technique could be used to result in an unique soundscape of Trent's imperfections. I'd rather hear spent, dissonant, gravelly tones, gradually clashing and merging into an hypnotic, dystopian loop that brings the beat back after a few minutes of various rhythmical, looping drones than no live version at all. I'd dearly love to see NIN play this live and I wish capture an official live version.
@@scheezy I was feeling self indulgent after a few too many ales. It happens sometimes. It's one of their most epic choruses and I was hoping to experience it live at the Eden Project. Nobody tends to ask for one's streams of consciousness on here. Your input was very interesting to read though. No one asked for it but I'm really glad that you took the time to be so eloquent and concise. It was thoroughly insightful and interesting to read.
Man haha so funny trent cant sing his own song live in the original key. Makes me feel better about my singing as my range is quite close to trents except maybe 1 or two semitones lower XD
This is like the only nin song that he can't seem to sing the same as the album. I'm sure he could if he tried but it would be hard on the voice. Plus he's not in the same mindset as he was in tge fragile so its probably harder to get into it when he's not so depressed now.
to convey the emotion they had to change the key signature, or else trent would have had to sing one octave lower, and it would not have the same impact since i would not hit the limit of his vocal range... that's why i think they transpose two semitones lower usually...
Any of these artists who push themselves in the studio is going to have to perform live in a lower register. Where the streets have no name is probably played nearly an octave lower by now 😂
This song has incredibly high notes to reach even for a young Trent. Nicely done.
This one is actually like one note drop down... but it's stills a really difficult one to sing
In the original you have to hit that gnarly A4, but I'm pretty sure they pitched it down so it's a G4 instead, making it become... POSSIBLE
Indeed
All of a sudden everyone is a vocal coach. Nobody cares......
@@rawheadrex8487lol
Look I'm old (63yrs) , I grew up with J.Hendrix, Eric Clapton, etc.., But that guitar solo blows my mind

@@mattslater2603 Tone is harder than technique. Technique is practice. Tone is understanding.

This has to be one of the hardest NIN vocal tracks by far

Dude I just discovered it and my boys like a Nine Inch Nails. Freak
And I’m like
I love the new song where is…..
He’s like that’s not new
I’m like that well it is to me!!!
Yes definitely and I've been trying to sing along for years and still can't hit those notes 😂
This was his peak. Everything since has been irredeemable shit.
This is my favorite NIN song, just love the energy
This song is so dear to me
Every time I listen to this ... it's like the 1st time hearing it ....
that's so true for this song, somehow. ever since I first saw the music video on MTV when I was 10

Bro wrote a novel to say NIN is good 🤓
When Those drums kick it gives me chills every time, and then Trent'S sailing voice gives me eargasms.
What the fuck! This is fantastic, oh my god! My all time favorite NIИ song
That man is utterly amazing! To hear him at the end is proof that he puts his all into any performance!
HOLY SMOKES THAT WAS BADASS
I saw NIN play this at Glasgow in the Performance 2007 gigs. The place fucking erupted.
i love this...these lyrics are a soundtrack to our incredible lives...can’t wait to do it again. we live, we die, we live again. c u on the next train in to town!

This is by far my fav Nine inch Nails song🤘🏻😆🖤🖤🖤🖤
Toronto.....94 was ....so good
One of His best
LYRICS!!
I've become impossible holding on to when
When everything seemed to matter more
The two of us
All used and beaten up
Watching fate as it flow down the path we
Have chose
You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well they've got to kill what we've found
Well they've got to hate what we fear
Well they've got to make it go away
Well they've got to make it disappear
The farther I fall I'm beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I'm inside you
For ever and ever I'm a part of
You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
All that we were is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone we have to hold on
When all our hope is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone but we can hold on
You and me
We're in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
Even after everything
You're the queen and I'm the king
Nothing else means anything
Awesome! One of my favorites from NIN.
My favorite NIN song
Regardless of register, If I were there, I would have shit myself when they laid into this.
The best and most emotional love song ever made.
I don't think he's talking about another person.
Yea he is read the genius page on the song @@Qliphirot
Awesome track....for ever and ever...❤️
Here in 2020, where everyone keeps saying this.
Amazing

Tbf I don’t recall them doing this on the Fragility tour, they certainly didn’t when I saw them a Brixton in 1999
We love you trent 😙
un pasada...
Funny... everybody thinks Trent sings better in this vid than he does in the actual record. He does, but only bc theyre playing the song like a note lower. Still, fantastic song great performance
It’s like the only live song that isn’t better than the regular song by him but it’s still great this is one of my favorites
I'm here because I just had strangest dream ever. Watching their live performance and then we wiped out by tsunami together.... WTH....
Epic... Fucking epic.... Legends
The first time I heard this song was in The Avengers trailer lol.
love it ! thanks
The man is in his 40's married with kids and he STILL sounds AMAZING, plus the energy he puts into every performance is EPIC.
He's like 55
Yes but in this video he was in his 40s
Awesome!
love it!!
They dropped the key a whole step haha
And?
fuck yes
Fucking mind blowing
very good
Nesta eles estão sem o Robin Finck pelo que parece.
josh Freese on drums, ladies and gentlemen
Spanking the shit out of it as always
Fuck yeah
I was wondering why they never did this
nine inch nails
Yes that's the band. Good job!
Nine inch nails
Wow.

It's not the same when he's singing it in a much lower key than on the album.
This actually have a more heavier sounding
@@Qliphirot True, but the vocals lack that energy because it's lower in key.
Overall, you tend to get a heavier sound by down-tuning it, of course.
the avengers
Why don’t they perform this song live anymore?
It's either too vocally straining or he can't hit those high notes anymore.
Apparently even in the studio version Trent had a hard time hitting the notes without damaging his throat.
In this performance they played in a different key so that Trent could hit those notes without hurting his throat
So hard for Trent to sing it...
Awesome song. (Also I was the exact 1000th like, But it seems that 10 people have no taste at all...)
Guitarist actually messes that up at the end. Played the outro for the last repeated chorus. Too bad. They rarely play this live.
Didn't ask
@@scheezy I wasn't answering. Was stating a fact. Scheez. Whatever, it's a beautiful song.

Majestic Skies you’re a music tool dummy
I think this and Last are the only two that he doesn't do in original key/ octave.
