Saul just casually walks in and just goes crazy on vocals 😂😂😂

The energy around the crowd when I was down there during this song and even the whole concert, was amazing. When I saw Saul come on stage I freaked out.

May 10th will now be remembered for the battle of the pants.

I agree with Whatever below, this album is his most underrated. This was his greatest single imo blows away Came Back Haunted

I think Year Zero was just mind blowing. The whole album really told the story of what was going on during the years Bush was in office. And in my opinion, NIN's sound hasn't changed all that much. Year Zero may have been leaning towards catchy dance beats but not all the songs were like that and the album was just meant to tell a story anyway. Even if the music became a little more simplistic, theory-wise, its still good and its still industrial. And a lot of the time, simple is beautiful.

Saul walked out and owned the stage. Truly awesome moment on that tour. I saw them during this tour but it wasnt Atlanta and Saul wasnt with them at my show.

NIN are so damn awesome, they are one of the few band that sound even better live

[dawnbreak]

My god NIN was the MOST AMAZING group I've EVER SEEN. Trent is just an amazing artist and I've seen them 63 times...last time being less then 10 years ago...one of first was with Davie Bowie...did hirt together and was brilliant

I so wish this version of Survivalism was on Apple Music! It’s the best!!!!

I love how much Trent is into it in the beginning

Regaurdless of how good or bad you think Trent's newer work is, he didn't sell out. He is still amazingly creative and Survivalism/Year Zero are in no way mainstream, I love how Trent has always done what he has wanted, even though he loves and supports his fans, when it comes to his music, he makes it how he likes it. My point being Trent doesn't give a shit about idiots who think his new music is bad, because it's good to him. (and to me) ;D

Im sooo glad you did a song with Saul :) and I still love NIN since I was 12 yrs old.... that's more than half my life since im slmost 30!

[tysonoff]

I love the Saul version as much as the original.

[ceejayessee]

I've loved NIN for years now, and discovered Saul through them and I love him just as much.

some people are lucky enough to live in places where this type of thing takes place.

Saul Wiliams is amazing. He brilliantly merges rap with industrial music.
Also love other darker industrial hip hop artists like
Ho99o9, Death Grips, Dalek, Backxwash, AllFlaws

[ComaAlpha]

M. Trent Reznor looks like a UFC beast version of himself. Definitely not the scrawny kid I remember from Woodstock 94.

[tribaltyn]

both the sound quality and visual quality of this vid is superb

I love trent for just sharing this stuff with his fans instead of releasing some dvd and asking a small fortune for it...

That was sweet! i would give my left hand to have seen that live!!!
