Recorded live at rehearsals in Los Angeles. From a series of performances directed by Rob Sheridan, available on The Slip Limited Edition CD/DVD: theslip.nin.com/physical/
@Julian Baxter Don't take the troll bait, my friend. He's not even doing a good job of critiquing the song, let alone recognizing other's opinions. That said, for some reason, a lot of NIN fans didn't seem to catch onto this song, along with most of Trent's "Shoegaze-esque" stuff. In the tours immediately following this record, he played this song most nights, and I was always excited to hear it, but I could feel the crowd around me kind of politely 'deflate' and wait for the next thrasher. It's like a certain segment of the audience wants him to continually recreate "Broken" or "March of the Pigs", even as a grown-ass man. Remember how poorly his cover of "Zoo Station" was received? I fucking LOVE that cover!
Hands down, my favorite band of all time... my favorite song of all time... and my favorite outro of all time. An absolute masterpiece in every conceivable way possible.
@@levadura7 bullshit. Dillon & Freese could have played The Perfect Drug in their sleep. It was never too difficult, Trent just doesn’t care for the song. It was rehearsed but he wasn’t feeling the ending live so he gave up on it until recent years.
Every single sound on this performance is perfect. Justin's fat bass and chorus, Robin (plus his wonderful guitar tone), whatever Trent does specially at 3:32, the atmosphere that Alessandro creates and of course the always present Josh Freese.
Basically, yeah. Some NIN fans are stuck in the past while others move along with NIN into the future. I love Closer and The Downward Spiral as a whole, it was what made me love NIN to begin with, but I love all Trent's other work too.
While I agree that The Slip is criminally underrated, I have to admit that the live versions of these songs are WAY better than the album versions. That's not to say the album versions are bad, though.
Guys, trent is on the partnership program on youtube. Since he is so amazing, rate ALL of his videos, 5 stars... favorite them all, he makes money off of this. Take this as a thankyou for all the entertaining videos, and the free "The Slip" album. Love you trent
damn all the songs on this DVD sound SO good loud in my headphones or on good speakers... my neighbors might hate it, but then again they might love it... either way, they stay silent hahaha
The best part of this song, when the guitar comes in and walks all over everything, the chord progression is all over the place. Masterfully so. I will get it with one or two more listens, I promise.
Simple song, and yet so powerful. When the 2nd chorus comes, when all the instruments settled in the song, something is happening. And also when all is fading out at the end, you fell they control everything. Professional and so beautiful at the same time, this is Nine Inch Nails.
They host a master class on style and professionalism. And every tour the release "how to" videos as well. lol has any band released as many hours of live performances as they have?
I'm so inspired right now. Trent makes it looks so easy to right a song and for him it must be. I don't know anyone who does as much music as he does. Truly amazing. Thanks for all these videos you guys are posting.
Robin coming back in this was was just so awesome, if you play in bands and youve been through a bunch of stuff, you know just how sharp everyone here is right now. These dudes are so fucking seasoned and sharp right now and they havnt even toured with this song yet.
I did not know this was Josh Freese until someone made a video of his chops. Great resume great drummer; I am glad that the fundamentals are what helps a band survive. Slow and steady. Additionally, I do like the synth drums as a good double bass workout.
Introduced my kids to NIN at an early age, youngest is now 17 and this is currently her favourite song.
What a cool dad
@@potatohead5986 I'm her mum 😊
@Corvus303 that's even more awesome
This performance is so goddamn perfect in all possible ways.
instablaster...
So is this comment.
this mix is better than the album version. i can totally hear the singing better in this one. killer song
yeah but the lalalala are not good, and some guitars are weird.
@@moliver_xxii your 'lalalala's' are not good. 🤘🏻
@@Fiveash-Art i do suck.
@@moliver_xxii 😂 ... just work on your 'la la la's' and I'm sure you'll get better.
that outro... the modular texture + the guitar echoes... incredible.
Incredibly shitty and even though I love Cortini, this song is just garbage...
Just the fact that the sound comes out of a Buchla doesn't automatically make it good.

@@theeltea I have no idea what a "Buchla" is but that outro synth sounds awesome!
This is an incredible performance. Trent Reznor and his band are at the pinnacle of innovation and self-reinvention.
Right? All these years later and they're still making damn good music, unbelievable.
Right after Trent goes 1-2-3 and that dope guitar riff comes in, I'm just absorbed in it. Cool song.
The guy always gets me going with "ayye!" In the beginning of his live performances
Hands down, my favorite band of all time... my favorite song of all time... and my favorite outro of all time. An absolute masterpiece in every conceivable way possible.
I love it when Trent says; "now you just slowly fade away" and the camera gets out of focus. Nice touch!
Criminally underrated.
Always.been one of the best since 1989.
I hope there's music in the next life
lalalalalalalalalah..... lalalalalalalah....
Best part, for sure.
Not sure if it's good or not but it reminds me of a dog growling with their mouth being moved
This is so much better than the album version. The real drums are great.
Robin Fuckin Finck
Missing Chris Vrenna ;)
I love the bassist bobbing his head with the afro... 😁
Josh is the best drummer NIN has ever had.
with all the drummers around only with ilan rubin NIN could play the perfect drug
Ilan !!
Remember those few times David Grohl played with Trent? That counts
He is the go to studio boy genius. If he can make Gwen Stefani & Trent digestable.....gold stars to him.

Trent Reznor + Alessandro Cortini + Robin Finck + Josh Fresee = such a nice and incredible combination !!!! 🤟🏼😈✌🏼👹🤘🏼🎸
best line up
Don´t forget the bassist: Justin Meldal-Johnsen
@@PedroMachadoBorges YESS !! THANK U.... ❤🤗👌🏼😂😅
I think I would actually pay for a digital single of this.
This is one of my favourite NIN songs. A highlight on the album.
Best rehearsals ever. This has to be the 30th time i've watched these videos.
This version is crazy top notch status
True that. This is the best version.
One of my favs !!! I love see Trent Reznor in scene.... is such a powerful, strong and magical man !!! ❤❤😍😍👅👅👅👅
Great EP.
This song is on another level
Uhoooooooooooooooly shit i'm only now getting into the slip why didn't i do this earlier? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Why is the slip so unpopular?
Cause people suck!
People are stuck in Closer
Basically, yeah. Some NIN fans are stuck in the past while others move along with NIN into the future. I love Closer and The Downward Spiral as a whole, it was what made me love NIN to begin with, but I love all Trent's other work too.
Trent Rules !
While I agree that The Slip is criminally underrated, I have to admit that the live versions of these songs are WAY better than the album versions. That's not to say the album versions are bad, though.
This band has aged like a fine wine! Never get tired of listening to them.
End so epic that I melted.

Take this as a thankyou for all the entertaining videos, and the free "The Slip" album.
Love you trent
the way freese starts and finishes this on that lcd interface = swoon everytime
damn all the songs on this DVD sound SO good loud in my headphones or on good speakers... my neighbors might hate it, but then again they might love it... either way, they stay silent hahaha
still gives me chills. I think it's the watching everything happen live that gets me.
yes!!
@briani4735263
That's what makes this song so great. It gently adds layer after layer until it suddenly kicks your teeth in.
I think Thom Yorke and Trent Reznor should do some type of collaboration thing. Anyone else agree?
Yess Me !! 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️👌🏼👌🏼
No
I Love this thax!
LOVE immensely.
AWESOME
The best part of this song, when the guitar comes in and walks all over everything, the chord progression is all over the place. Masterfully so. I will get it with one or two more listens, I promise.
that just made my day thank you trent
thanks for introducing me into those bands!! love em. and love nin even more
Flawless as always
I hate how good this is.
Brilliant.
you just took the words out of my mouth.
Oh my god guys you are simply amazing!!!
I always end up coming back to this video, masterpiece!
2008 best year of my life!!
Masterpiece
great way to start the morning
FUCKING AMAZING! one of my faves...
i love this performance. the ending is so magnificant!
I am suprised how spot on this is. Excellent.
oh, this reminds me of last summer, I was so into The Slip back then
13 years ago and this song still ROCKS!
watched this 10 times in a row already. even gets more beautiful with each play.
I can listen and listen and listen and listen and listen and listen and listen over and over again:)
The outro with the guitar trio part is so fucking excellent. It has so much power but is elegantly so. I miss this era of NIN, it was a lot of fun!
Omg I like this song
Very good
Cant wait to see Nin concert in California
No i zagrał :D To był dopiero koncert!!!
i hope nin comes to edmonton again
couldn't agree more. i can't wait to see what he concocts up next. it just gets better and better with every new album...
this music made me happy, it's a lot of fun to find different versions years later
im stuck in time loop or what....its... stunning... i dont knwo what to say... fantastic!
Lo mejor que escuché en muchísimo tiempo
This is so tight, not even a nail will fit between it. Awesome job
So beautiful still , listening like it's the 1st time 🎵🎼🎶🎶
its amazing how it sounds exactly like it does from the album
One of the best snare sounds I've ever heard goddamn
Simple song, and yet so powerful. When the 2nd chorus comes, when all the instruments settled in the song, something is happening. And also when all is fading out at the end, you fell they control everything. Professional and so beautiful at the same time, this is Nine Inch Nails.

Mods and effects beyond comment-able

there is so much good sound hidden inside
Che pezzo!!!!!!!
awesome guitar assembly
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED. POPE IVA. 🕊🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕊
this is such an amazing performance of an awesome song. i like the band selection.
Robin coming back in this was was just so awesome, if you play in bands and youve been through a bunch of stuff, you know just how sharp everyone here is right now. These dudes are so fucking seasoned and sharp right now and they havnt even toured with this song yet.
Awesome-O!
tight shit. Love the band setup and how they are facing each other.
So good 👍 take me back to LITS tour
proof of perfect maturity....love of youth, still never disappointed
Agreed. Year Zero and the Slip are possibly my favorite NIN albums.
Me and my friend were talking about the exact same thing just yesterday!
Still my favorite song.🎸😎
Please play this song on tour to Phoenix sept 13th!!!! 🙌🏽😍
I think this is the best NIN line up
Nic mi nie mów, myślałam, że nie dożyję tej chwili :D A tu proszę!
this songs a winner, as in it should win awards. Cuz its that fucking good.
Genios de nuestra generación. Dedicada para todas las nenas hermosas Z.
i know same on the warning i love how the guitar(s?) sound.
I love it! Damn Trent just keeps making great songs and even though his music evolves its always NIN..... 👽
i think the view counter is missing some zeros . this should have millions of views
One of my favs I dunno why.
As someone rightfully said below, it's smooth af
One of the most special and outstranding bands of all time.
Wow, you're totally right. I'm the second type and I really think NIN helped get me there.
lucky mann mustve been sick!
I never got to see NIN live and regret it to this day
time flies
God The Slip is so good
I did not know this was Josh Freese until someone made a video of his chops. Great resume great drummer; I am glad that the fundamentals are what helps a band survive. Slow and steady. Additionally, I do like the synth drums as a good double bass workout.
