MOTP - trent's high pitched scream - where?

[NickL]

I remember a youtube video - probably 2005 - where Trent ended March Of The Pigs with a high-pitched screaming which I think to the comments where compared to Judas Priest. It was kinda hilarious. Do anyone know which concert was that?

[sheepdean]

Should be in Random nin questions.

And he kinda did that a lot during the WT tours, do you have any more specifics that what an individual commenter said?

[NickL]

oh sorry.

well I can't remember but it wasn't like the normal scream that he ends up the song. it was longer and in higher pitch. if i recall correctly it was day and the clip were not from a pro-shot.

[Fist Fuck]

The first video that comes to my mind is this one here...

[NickL]

it was the one Fist Fuck linked. thanks, i couldn't find it.

[slave2thewage]

He did that a lot in 2009. I remember he did it at Oxegen, too.

[MrSlfDstruct]

Wow, lol. A little Paul Stanley going on at the end there.

[pigpen]

wow, what a weird way to end that song

[thetourist]

Oh, my god, this is horrible.

[hobochic]

Never seen that before. Wow, indeed. The crowd reaction in the end is priceless.

[october_midnight]

This is an actual thread.

[JamesCmuse]

This is my favourite thread. I can't stop laughing at that scream..

[dlb]

"yeah!!!"

Haha, gotta love Trent! :D

[thefragile_jake]

"yeah!!!"

Haha, gotta love Trent! :D

I know! Everything about it is so funny...the popped collar, how we whoops and hollers and the way you see his head bob on the jumbo screen as the camera cuts back.

That little "Yeah!...." at the end is priceless.

[gorast]

That entire video is absolutely glorious.

[ryanmcfly]

I think the best part is when he starts shaking his head when he's screaming "piiaaaaaaagg"

[imail724]

I wish he would do it like that at every show. Great stuff.

Yes!! allegro it finally burst out of him, loud and proud!

[elevenism]

Of course, NO performance of MOTP tops this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVoRm0QCnO4
It's got the immortal alternate lyrics..."Crawl right up on your knees...Bwugggh. BWlAhhh.. Bwug!"

AND "Fuck...fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck...can you say fuck?"

I also love around the 2:15 mark when either Trent or someone he gives the microphone to sounds like a dying sheep.

[elevenism]

LOL @ thefragile_jake...and i mean i'm ACTUALLY
laughing out loud

[gorast]

I love how he just keels over after Robin runs into him and stays down for like twenty seconds.

That performance is a disaster, though. Damn.

[rhet]

i'm so glad i didn't pay to see this performance. pretty hilarious now though!

[jesus]

hahahahahhahahah this was so fuckin funny

[Fragilicity]

holy fuck that was amazing

[Papagolash]

i'm so glad i didn't pay to see this performance. pretty hilarious now though!

I'd about kill to be able to go back in time to see that concert or one back in 94. The anger, chaos, and sloppiness, would fucking love it.

i saw 2 in 94, and yes, they were amazing and angry...but they WEREN'T sloppy. they were tighter than a catholic schoolgirl. it damn sure wasn't like the tokyo video. i think someone must have given ole trent a bottle of liquor that night which he drank a bit too fast. i shudder to think what the rest of the show was like.

now, i have to confess, in 2000, i was the one laying on the ground saying fuck fuck fuck. i didn't exactly "see" that show. you have to find just the right level of booze for a rock show, whether yer onstage or watching.

[sick among the pure]

you have to find just the right level of booze for a rock show, whether yer onstage or watching.

And that level would be 0.

[elevenism]

And that level would be 0.
No offense, but how often do you play live shows?
I find one (JUST ONE) long island REALLY loosens me up onstage.

If you need a drink to play live, you have a problem #intervention

when you use hashtags outside of Twitter you have a problem #hypocrite

[eversonpoe]

i've played plenty of shows in varying venues in chicago, and i've never had a drink beforehand. i've actually never even tried to play music at all after drinking. i can't imagine that i would actually perform better.

[Scarlet Siren]

I love Trent's squeal in Burn. LOVE IT!

I just wanted to say it... that's all :D

[NickL]

A drink or two will loosen you up a bit and make you less nervous (if you're at all).

[slave2thewage]

I generally have a vodka and coke before doing anything on stage. It's just enough to get rid of the nerves.

[GibbonBlack]

when I was in a band I would always be drinking on stage. But that was mostly because we'd be in pubs and clubs and that's where I drink, not a nerves thing.

[scorpiusdiamond]

Don't get me started on having to drink to enjoy playing live, jeez.

[elevenism]

it's just i kinda get stagefright. yeah, i'll admit, maybe i'm a pussy...and i also probably DO need an @intervention or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

But i swear to god i sing and play better after one drink.

And just so you know, sheepdean, i DO have a problem...with alcohol...and opiates...and benzos....and it's been a CONSTANT fucking struggle. That's a big part of why i love NIN so much. My favorite song is, why, the one this forum is named for. and think about THOSE fucking lyrics.

i'm getting better though. i used to drink a liter of vodka a day AND shoot heroin mixed with coke anytime i could get my hands on it, and it's a fucking miracle that i'm alive. i'm MOSTLY sober these days.

[frankie teardrop]

is there really such a strict moral compass around here that looks down upon someone confessing to having ONE drink before shows? what kind of lame kneejerk intolerance is that? have any of you passing judgement ever played on stage before? stage fright/nerves/introverted behavior can affect even the best musicians and yeah, sometimes a drink helps loosen up. maybe it's the accepted pub culture thing explained above. maybe they just enjoy it. either way, it's no great sin for someone to have A drink to ease into a performance so get off yr high horse.

i have no hard statistics for this, but in my experience with both bands both small and large- the ratio of musicians performing under the influence is higher than you realize. most just know their limits and don't overdo it like the video in question.

Dude...whatever gets you on stage and doing what you love is cool. You're not a pussy

[elevenism]

Thank you Frankie, and thank you Gibbon Black. I, too, was pretty damned shocked at the backlash about me mentioning having ONE drink.

In my day, NIN fans didn't share the same attitudes about drugs and alcohol as Baptists. But i guess at 33, i'm the old guy now.

Those of you passing so much judgement...have you ever listened to a Nine Inch Nails record?
Check out some of the lyrics if you ever get a chance. :p

[heroicraptor]

it was the one Fist Fuck linked. thanks, i couldn't find it.

/thread. What sheepdean said is also true. Things like this should go in Random NIN Questions.
