- Nine Inch Nails / David Bowie - Live 1995 'Subterraneans / Scary Monsters'.
You would never see Mike Garson play a keyboard like that !.. lol - Hudba
Reznor flung David Bowie headfirst into the 1990's and beyond without ever being considered a nostalgia act.
Bowie taught Trent Reznor that he didn't have to succumb to his addiction issues and that he was allowed to find a life outside of his art.
It was a pretty good trade of talents.
perfectly said..
Life is just crazy.
❤️
God, Trent on that sax though...
Yeah. Could have worked with Heroes, except Bowie did it right.
The interaction between David and Trent is eye-opening. Can only imagine how Trent felt about performing with one of his idols from childhood--luckily for us, Trent was very open about his love for David. What a powerful combination.
I was at this show. I remember the moment David walked on stage so clearly. I wish I could go back and appreciate it more than I did then. Youth is wasted on the young.
I had the pleasure of seeing this live in Dallas back in 95 on the Outside tour. Seeing Bowie and Reznor share the stage was such a treat. Still one of my top 3 concert tickets experiences!!!
I love the original song + album, but this version definitely took this song to the next level. Trent has incredible aptitude for sonic layering and getting those sounds hidden in the cut to perfection
Nacht Schreck yes i tottaly agree with u
I've always been a bit ambivalent about Trent, but holy hell he really brings it here... His love for Bowie is palpable is this clip.
yes
ditto
Reznor will admit it really helps to have good material. Bowie brought good material.
Reznor himself cultivated an image of a tortured edgelord, such as knowingly living/recording in the Sharon Tate house, paling around with Marilyn Manson, etc, and I get why some people would be ambivalent towards him. He's worth taking a closer (no pun intended) look at, though, as he has such a huge catalogue at this point and, like Bowie, has evolved significantly as an artist over time. Also, his mid-career remix albums (Further Down the Spiral, Things Fall Apart) and EPs (The Perfect Drug, Still), together with the "Ghosts" series, are a totally different side to him and are reminiscent of Bowie's Berlin period albums.
Pure Magik, i would sell it m0re to m0re people see how amazing that day was :(
RIP David, you'll be missed
POČIVAJ V MIRU David Bowie, pogrešan boš.
five years today, where the fuck has the time gone
Special to see the mentor and disciple working so eloquently together.
This song was made to be Done by them together.
Understanding Subterraneans (my personal fave Bowie song) is on my bucket list.
The Abhorred Dread I always thought it was a song about a breakup.
Share bright failing star (relationship going south)
Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline. (The woman’s name)
Riding there surely, surely, surely on
(She boarded a bus, train or subway, surely and steadily moving on with her life and out of the narrator’s life)
It was about the Berlin wall. Subterraneans are the people living under the earth or behind the berlin wall cut off from there families and the life they once had.
--also, people were traveling through tunnels under the wall to get from East to West (and back.) Tony Visconti has told a story of an East German soldier who showed up out of nowhere while they were recording at Hansa Ton and asked for a cigarette.
But also keep in mind that this was when Bowie and Eno were using cut-up method of writing. The meaning is probably largely random chaos.
I would agree with @@Sparkina's explanation. Another explanation i found was on genius.com lyric footnote, it was meant to capture the misery of those that were caught in "East Berlin seperation during the Cold War."
This was the era of different rock genres combining in hopes of an exponential, cataclysmic result.
i love how daddy bowie is hanging out with all the cool kids of the day and everyone he joines is all exited and making it awesome. bowie is the best.
Thank you for posting this. I was at one of the shows at the Forum. Was just trying to explain to someone about this transition during the concert. It was amazing. Still grateful we got to see that.
Went to this show in Virginia for my 28th birthday and was in the front for David Bowie - general admission section. Absolutely amazing!!
I was at that show too 🤘
@@williamseifert169 My wife and I went a couple who were big NIN fans and they kept dropping hints about wanting to leave after their set. Incredible. This got them to change their tune!
I love both Bowie and Trent, so much. I cried off and on the entire month when Bowie died (or you know, returned to the stars). But I would love to hear Trent do a full recorded cover of Scary Monsters I love his voice with this song. I actually would be totally totally down for an entire Trent fronted Bowie tribute album. Trent doing every Bowie song he's ever wanted to. I also want him to record and do more stuff with Gary Numan and Peter Murphy. Omg cross over gold.
I agree. David would have wanted Trent to do an entire album of his songs. He loved Trent like a father.
I'm not sure if Bowie would have liked the idea of Gary Numan covering his songs! It's said that the lyrics of Teenage Wildlife were written as a dig at Gary Numan and in 1980 had him ejected from the studio during the recording of The Kenny Everett show and removed from show when they were both meant to be on the episode.
Trent almost did it live on the NINJA tour, I remember they did an online survey asking what songs people wanted to see live and Scary Monsters was on the list. Of course I voted for that one, I guess the casual NIN fans didn't know what it was at the moment. Also this videos weren't leaked at the moment so not many people knew how awesome it was live, I only saw it on bootlegs and even there sounded awesome.
Man if my boss at the time knew I was a Bowie fan I could've gone to the the Bowie/Nin show.
I was (I don't know 15?)a teen in high school with a REALLY bad ass boss for my first job.
Yes Trent was on sax. I was there.
RIP David Bowie
Awesome version of scary monsters. wish I could have been at that concert...
Somehow people seem to forget Trent plays Sax.... remember seeing this tour- Amazing!
Some ppl seem to not know that David did, too.
Alysia Mer David-Wasser TRUTH! And David was a talented sax man as well!
Saw this tour. Bowie is a true showman. Lookin fine at 50. Brian Eno...I was a Nailhead at the time. NIN really complements the music. Trent Reznor on the sax!? Does it get any better!?
Is there any instrument Trent can't play??
Wow IT works it shows how Trent is talented as well
I'm SO jealous that my mom got to see them LIVE. I was only 3 when this happened, so I couldn't go. But I'm SO upset because I will NEVER get to see my two Favorites perform together
That intro really sets you up for this tune in a way I didn't expect. Nice.
a masterpiece... briliant!!!
Whoa, this is fascinating.
I used to have a CD with David Bowie and Trent together on it. That is the only CD I played so much I literally wore it out.
Breathtaking
Splendid!
This is just fascinating, can anyone elaborate on why Trent Reznor and David Bowie did so many collaborations. IMO this is documentary worthy.
Well Bowie was away from concerts for some years and wanted to stay relevant as always, not a bad thing actually, so he called Trent and asked him to do this tour. Nine Inch Nails was big at the time and Bowie was a fan of him already, he was also been listening to some industrial music for that era and the album. A lovely fact about this, David Bowie made a painting of each of the Nine Inch Nails band member and gave it to them at the end of the tour as thanks gift. When he died almost all of the touring band members posted their painting online. He was a really humble guy.
They are /were different in the most tangible inappropriate way. The way you felt connected to them, but they are/ were interstellar.
Nine Inch Nails released a VHS box set in the late 90s it was called "Closure" one vhs contained only Nin Music Videos, the other was all live footage, backstage, and on the road. It had EXCELLENT clips of the tour with Bowie, Marilyn Manson and Jim Rose Circus sideshow, a clip with Lou Reed turning up at a Nin show talking about how Trents just doing smart rockin' and praising him. It was pretty fun. Lots of footage of them destroying shit, like the dressing rooms, many many keyboards. An epic one where they're throwing glass beer bottles at an Exit sign they're attempting to kill. If I remember correctly I believe Trent gets the ultimate money shot which finally severs the last cord holding it barely above the door.
Trent was a Bowie fan, and Bowie was a Nin fan.
Trent spoke to writer for Rolling Stone, resulting in a great article for the mag talking about Bowie and its REALLY good.
It was my favorite of all tributes written that I read after Bowie's death this quote is from it:
One of the greatest moments of my life was standing onstage next to David Bowie while he sang “Hurt” with me. I was outside of myself, thinking, “I’m standing onstage next to the most important influence I’ve ever had, and he’s singing a song I wrote in my bedroom.” It was just an awesome moment.
I reccomend the full read here

Btw Closure will NEVER BE RELEASED ON DVD. Trent tried, but there's too many permissions he can no longer get to re-release it. Sadly.

trent said he was a fan of the heroes-era albums, bowie called him up, and the rest is history
This was so fucking badass!
Superb mate- many thanks- gonna go dig out my copies of 'Low' and 'Scary Monsters'
Unique! awesome.
For me, though there are loads of things I've liked, post Beatles, the only things that really stood out and made a difference were Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails. Nirvana combined melody and attitude, Trent understood how the cd had already replaced vynal and used the studio accordingly.
saw this tour. excellent energy
Tremendous performance! Bowie and NIN at their best!
Chills
Icons Wow This i would love to have seen live OMG
Must be on Spotify this legendary concert pleaseee spotifyyy
Sublime.
My 1st concert :)
Trent is loving this
I WISH SO BAD I WAS THERE
Saw this live in Tacoma, Washington.
yes
Wow, i would like to say it to: i was there!
Talk about hitting it out of the park!
May God bless us all .........
respect.....…...
I was at this show! With friends from high school. Remember this show, my fishes?
💯❣🤘
Rocking out1
4:17 That's what I want as my desktop wallpaper.
trent is hardcore here ;-)
when isn't he??
He was so hardcore back in the day. You should see him kill keyboards onstage and exit signs backstage (with beer bottles).
My mum told me all about David and their escapades .... seem only fitting to connect with him by covering a few songs on YT ... I suppose Space Boy is my name.
I've always loved this, found out after they came to town on this tour my boss would've taken me is she knew I loved Bowie. (also a huge nin fan)
Trent looks so fucked up. But he still brings it! I saw this show live. One of my greatest concert memories!
Fucking very nice!
Carlos Alomar.
him playing "scary monsters" felt right.
Pure enchantment. The beginning of Scary Monsters takes the place of the little vocal refrain toward the end of Subterraneans here. I guess The Gentleman is over Caroline by now :-) (I always thought Subterraneans was about a parting)
It was about a parting, between west and east Berlin.
FAK YEEEEEZ FINALLY FAKING FAMILY, LOVIU ALL.
6:01 when the song hasn't ended
F**k this is good
Just a note. It was impossible for David to not be beautiful. (This got to the point that in later years, David would stand up and tell the interviewer to "Get out! And don't ever come back!" Shouting!)
Lol
reznor, so "lächerling"!
kenny g on ketamine. wait.. why charlie clouser suddenly moved from synth to drums??
Where are the JoJo fans?
im a jojo fan, david bowie fan and a trent reznor simp so this ticks off a lot of boxes for me
NYO HO!
DIEGO!
why diss Mike Garson?! passage rpentage thx loveugodbless tj kabbalah matthewshepard madonnalicious
TJ BD 1 year ago i wasn't !. I was comparing to Trent on keyboards
Filip Haman2 months ago trent is hardcore here ;-)
R.I.P.David Bowie, A true innovator.
Dude David Bowie is objectively a terrible singer. Hes so lucky the times accepted him and his... Sounds, other wise the weirdo woulda been lost to time. Nothing like Trent.
Wrong. Watch the analysis of his isolated vocal tracks on Space Oddity, before Autotune. Spot on. Excellent range. Facts are facts, opinions are free.
Bowie is one of the best singers of entire rock music history. Period.
i hope those people at the concert knew how lucky they were to be there.
Magnifica version de este clasico

best night of my life
Pinchi desvergue se armó 🖤🖤
i respect that trent was a bowie fan, but its hard to really watch bowie fight to stay relevant during this era, pretty much using trents fame to try and do it.
I can see where you would think that. However If you watch interviews with them, there's one with Kurt Loader in particular, their chemistry and understanding of one another was so natural and casual. It was anything but forced. He was trying to stay relevant, he just always was, and this is just the headspace he was in, musically at the time, and it's the natural outcome of that. Trent couldn't have possibly been anymore on board, but there was absolutely a mutual respect and both artists really put in an equal share, and honestly I think Trent really benefited the most from the project; bot artistically and emotionally. As a HUGE NIN fan, and an admirer of Howie (I cherry pick from hos works), I couldn't be happier that this happened.
He wasn't* trying to stay relevant, he just never stopped being relevant.
I think it was a mutual exchange between the two. Reznor reignited Bowie's sagging career, and Bowie taught Trent to pace himself. Reznor could have easily fallen into the 90's rockstar self destruction cliche and died, or worse, become a relic of the 90's like what happened to Manson. Instead Reznor learned to evolve and grow from Bowie.
@@bigguy1164 absolute. I think it was not only an extremely artistically fulfilling project for the both of them (not to mention a fan-boys dream come true for Reznor), but it was a very shrewd, clever move career wise for the both of them. And absolutely do I agree and believe Reznor needed the influence of someone who had been through the ringer of rock and roll and came out alive on the other side.
David f*cking Bowie….”fighting to stay relevant”??? Hahahaha! That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard! If anything, it was Reznor feeding off Bowie’s reputation.
Only an ignoramus of epic proportions could say what you said.
