    You're not wrong, but have you heard the original? It's identical

    It's identical in song structure, but it sounds completely different. Completely different beats, different synths, no funky bass line, different vocal delivery.

    Thanks to cheeto face for preventing me from possibly ever enjoying "The Fragile" again with the line about building a wall.

    Not sure if it counts since it was never technically recorded and released, but my vote probably goes to that Joy Division song (Digital?) that was covered during the last tour. I don’t think it’s much of a bad cover, just that the song itself is terrible.

    Aw man. I disagree with all the last comments but I guess that’s the whole purpose of this thread. Zoo Station, Digital, Memorabilia are all great to me. But maybe it has to do with what other music you listen to. I actually like Joy Division and U2.

    I think every cover NIN's done in studio is good.

    I honestly think the Zoo Station cover was for U2 rather than the world at large. Zooropa was U2 experimenting and rather than industrial it up, TR dialled it back and U2’d it up. I think it was a mark of respect for Bono

    I've got to throw my two cents in here: NIN's Memorabilia is one of my favorite songs by ANYONE, and one of the sexiest songs of all time, imho.

    And Zoo Station- I somehow managed to not hear that one until fairly recently, and I was really impressed. And, like @WorzelG , i, too, think it was meant to be a nod to U2.

    Also, here's a controversial opinion, while I'm at it: I would absolutely LOVE an NIN album full of 80s covers that are extremely similar to the originals. I'd like to hear Trent sing a track by Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Let's Dance era Bowie, A-Ha, Billy Idol and the like.

    Of course, @fillow , but I want it done now, and in the studio, and MORE of it. The fact that he covered that song back then makes me wonder how many other songs of the era he sang when finding his sound, you know?

    Imagine him doing that one, for instance, but with nice production, singing more like he does now.

    Im not gonna lie, I love me some Billy Idol and Eyes Without a Face is one of my favorite tracks.

    Shock To the System is another. Go Trent, man of good taste. I would love to hear him cover some DM.

    Your Silent Face would be a good one too, and we know TR loves his Joy Division covers so it makes sense.

    Ironically, TR's vocal style on Bad Witch is more similar to that Eyes Without A Face performance than anything else in the Nine Inch Nails portfolio.

    Maybe Just Once should've been on PHM instead of Kinda I Want To. Could've been a single contender, maybe.

    Is that what they named themselves after then? This is like cartoon Spinal Tap

    @MrLobster - Because he's the exit, right? On the other hand, the beer didn't deserve it though.

    it basically is cartoon spinal tap, but more ridiculous. the plot of the episode is that rigby sees this and decides to change his name to "trash boat" but immediately regrets it. then The Urge travels back in time from the future where he is disgraced and attempts to kill rigby for stealing his thunder by changing his name to something cooler than "the urge"

    regular show is my favorite

    The DVD/VHS versions of "And All That Could Have Been: Live" are superior to the CD version.

    Maybe it's the Dolby (digital stereo or 5.1), maybe it's something else... but yeah. That's where I stand.

    Oh I agree - the CD version has that weird thing too where some things sound watery especially cymbals. My only complaint with the DVD audio is that it doesn't include The Day The World Went Away as a part of the main set.

    The Octopus bootleg of Woodstock 94 isn't that bad. Yeah, we can tell there were performance issues but as an overall capture of NIN live in that era, I think it holds up.

    Also, if anyone happens to have that "Live To Air" vinyl pressing and are willing to sell it, if the price is reasonable I'll take it off your hands. ... Same with "Pretty Hate Machine Sessions"

    Are there NIN songs you guys DON'T like?
    I don't mean ones your just tired of.

    I REALLY don't like THTF. I guess I kind of convinced myself I liked it when it came out?
    But, no.
    I actively dislike that shit. :/

    I preferred it when it appeared mid-set during the WT tour. Becoming a staple show closer made it become really tiresome for me.

    Not really. There may be songs that I don't listen to all that much (*cough* half of Pretty Hate Machine *cough*), but I can still find stuff I like about them. I mean, there's so much crap out there, so any Nine Inch Nails song is going to look like a diamond by comparison.
