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...
Josh Freese has probably the best resumé of any drummer around. He's played with the Vandals, Guns N' Roses, A Perfect Circle, NIИ, Devo, Weezer, the Offspring, and now with Foo Fighters. That's quite a prolific career and that doesn't even include the stuff he's done as a session drummer lol
+U WOT huh really? How so? I always thought discipline was one of the most kinda "mainstream-ish" songs of NIN because the studio version doesn't have crazy sounds like the downward spiral does.
discipline sounds like mainstream because it's a pop style song just as the hand that feeds... I rather listening to the most dark stuff NIN produced, like the original mastering of The Downward Spiral. very intense
Trent captures the instant regret of an addict while still feeling the energy of what he's on. The battle of sobriety and abuse. Amazing way of making art
I always thought this song was about a toxic relationship where the line between BDSM and abuse is constantly crossed and redefined. I actually joked with some friends a few years ago that this was the song that should have been covered for the 50 Shades movies.
@@tatehildyard5332 exactly. He's in a BDSM relationship that's running off the rails with limits and boundaries disappearing and he's scared sh!tless about where it's leading. "I want your discipline, I need your help" to try to bring it back under control. Best BDSM song since The Velvet Underground's Venus in Furs.
@@malcolmstreet1 It can mean many things. Especially when we have a topic of interest we can slot it into frame with any connection. For example I am obsessed with Hitler/The Nazis (in a historic and psychological point of view, not a Neo Nazi one. Fuck that noise) so I interpret it as being from a Hitler Youth boy reflecting on his role in the Reich and actually stopping to question what makes it and its Fuhrer so great. Same could be said about an officer in Stalin's USSR. Someone else thought it was from the POV of a toddler having a tantrum which is quite a literal and clever way to see it. I think any interpretation is right (I can relate to the addict one) but I think to call it the "best" is a bit strong. Perhaps its one of the best about abuse masquerading as something healthy (like BDSM)
Exactly what I was just thinking. Popped in here since I haven't watched since this came out. I remember being pretty hyped. Now I'm looking at it like fuck that's what 10 years looks like? Lol
i literally found NIN this year and i am 16 but im absolutely obsessed i think i've listened to almost every album or at least a couple songs from each also im in love with Robin's hair
All of the NIN albums fit with my different moods, it's crazy. I know what album to listen to based on how I feel that day and I'm always comforted and feel less alone afterward.
I've had a life-long battle with depression, and can't think of an album that speaks/shouts to me more completely than The Downward Spiral. That said I have to be careful when I play it - like some Joy Division material (another band I love) it can be too close to the bone if I'm in a bad way :-(
I never get tired of rewatching this. Just great band energy, and the way they're just nodding along to the music as they're in the zone just shows a real appreciation for the tune.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song. The Slip had just been announced/released on my 18th birthday (May 5 2008), and I got pulled over for speeding while listening to this song after school. So worth it. That memory, and all the times I’ve seen it played live since then, will live in my brain forever. I even got the artwork for “Demon Seed” tattooed on my arm when I saw them at Red Rocks in 2018. What an incredible, extremely underplayed album. Bonus shoutouts to Meathead for his music video.
Am I still tough enough? Feels like I'm wearing down (down down down down) Is my viciousness losing ground (ground ground ground ground) Am I taking too much? Did I cross the line? (line line) I need my role in this Very clearly defined I need your discipline I need your help I need your discipline You know once I start I cannot help myself Now it's starting up Feels like I'm losing touch Nothing matters to me Nothing matters as much I see you left a mark Up and down the skin (skin skin) I don't know where I end Or where you begin I need your discipline I need your help I need your discipline You know once I start I cannot help myself I cannot stop myself Once I start I cannot stop myself And you know Once I start I cannot stop myself And you know Once I start I cannot stop myself And you know Once I start I cannot stop myself And you know Once I start I cannot stop myself I need your discipline And you know I need your help Once I start I cannot stop myself I need your discipline And you know Because once I start I cannot stop myself I need your discipline And you know I need your help Once I start I cannot stop myself I need your discipline And you know Because once I start I cannot stop myself And you know Once I start I cannot stop myself And you know Once I start I cannot stop myself I need your discipline And you know Once I start I cannot stop myself I need your discipline And you know Cannot stop myself Once I start I cannot stop myself
Where's the Midnight Club in Los Angeles? I go to Boardner's on "Wednezdayz" and they play a fair amount of Nine Inch Nails but I've never heard of the Midnight Club? Is it a Goth/Industrial Club? What night of the week there is best music?
2x? Bummer, I spent most of the 90s chasing NIN around. I lost count, I like the old stuff better, still adore Trent, but it seems hes trying to hard. I love that hes sober tho
A Swedish theme park? You mean like with roller coasters and stuff? In Sweden? Was he even playing a show in town that week or something? Because it would be so random if he wasn't even playing a show out there on tour but felt the need to go all the way across the more than half of the world on a twelve hour flight where its relatively freezing and there is such a limited amount of sunlight in the day just to go on throw up rides? Dang!? Stockholm must have some seriously sweet rides to have to go all the way out there for them?!
I listen to this song every day... going to take a while for me to get sick of it... it's just so fucking orignal & refreshing. The piano is amazing & Trent is a musical God... amazing singer.
the perfect song to go back to bad habits, after been a long time without tasting or feeling. only to hear his voice ... it's hard not to have that feeling
One of the best, cant stop listening it. I also first heared it in old racing game - Midnight Club LA - that even more strange, so good music in just one title?
I'm obssesed with this song, I literally can't stop looping it when I start it, I don't know how they manage to create a piece out of nothing, it really amaze me.
You cant beat that great straight head simplistic lead that creates an atmosphere of mis-controlled cahos! The beats are frigging amazing with Bass and Drums just kicking layer after layer / orchestration to the Max. Then that "clean" vocal strap ... Damn. Can you spell P r O d U C t I o N! Awesome
They are so incredibly talented but Jose Freese on the drums just fucking kills it. Sets the whole tone with the entire song. The build up at 2:20 is just incredible.
Incredible band!! Great musicians!! Incredible groove of Josh Freese. I love it!! Robin is the guitar boss!! great pick sound!! I like to see RME in your harware to use with vsti's!!! Best wishes from Spain. Un saludo enorme desde España!!

@@justinmraapDon't forget Devo.
Freese also played on Paul Westerberg’s early solo tours.
Never understood why this song isn't a popular NIN song, it's one of the best
I love it! :)

Thats where art comes from usually... some sort of pain or view of pain and suffering, even if the work is bright and beautiful. So thankful for it.
First heard this band back in 89 and never looked back...Reznor is one of the best composers of our time.
Definitely agree
Yes I agree
Same for me.... NIN was exactly what I was looking for
He's a god. Songs like the closer is god-level, he's literally god among men, man.
Those "once I start I cannot stop myself" backups are pure 🔥
I'm reminded of The Downward Spiral with the piano part
I always have loved that peculiar atmosphere that Trent adds with those piano patterns
I totally agree. It’s the beating heart under the skin.
Josh freese is such an amazing drummer! Any band to have him play for them is very lucky! :)
But Axl hated him.
@@genesisolaes5923 Axl it's a complete Fool in any way
now he play for foo fighters on tour
@@genesisolaes5923 oh well...glad he's not playing with him
@@aryodjono yeah he's sounding great with them already
Guitar tone, bass tone, aww man, I love this version of this song.
It’s nuts this is from 10 years ago, I remember watching this on MySpace when it first came out lol
Exactly what I was just thinking. Popped in here since I haven't watched since this came out. I remember being pretty hyped. Now I'm looking at it like fuck that's what 10 years looks like? Lol

also im in love with Robin's hair
Awesome. You have good taste. Trent Reznor is the next David Bowie.
Welcome
lol same
All of the NIN albums fit with my different moods, it's crazy. I know what album to listen to based on how I feel that day and I'm always comforted and feel less alone afterward.

Basically feel the same! Love how nin is so expressive and fits everyone in some way.
Year Zero 2020 that is all
I've had a life-long battle with depression, and can't think of an album that speaks/shouts to me more completely than The Downward Spiral.
That said I have to be careful when I play it - like some Joy Division material (another band I love) it can be too close to the bone if I'm in a bad way :-(
GNR's Chinese Democracy led me here. Now I understand why Axl is obsessed in copying the NIN sound. These guys are awesome.
This is my favourite incarnation of this band.
Agreed!
Mine will always be the all that could've been lineup :)
Who's the bassist
@@DirtiestSoul Justin Meldal-Johnsen
💯💯
i love the groove in this track
I love the signature NIN-style piano notes. Hello ten years later btw.
I can't stop watching this. Holy crap, Trent is awesome.
This band is just beyond everything. How they bring their talent across is how every fan wishes they could. And that’s y we love them.
I never get tired of rewatching this. Just great band energy, and the way they're just nodding along to the music as they're in the zone just shows a real appreciation for the tune.
Crazy, I was like 20 when I first heard this, and now I'm in my 30s and I'm listening to it again.
almost forgot about this album to be honest
This is perfection.
Finally getting around to listening to The Slip because I've always somewhat disregarded it. And... WOW. These songs are amazing.
One of my favourites. And it's free!
Just can't get enough of this song
Once you start listening to it you can't really stop yourself
Josh Freese. That is all.
James Willis watch ilan rubin he kinda puts josh in the passenger seat.
@@mattdugan2000 You're high if you think Rubin is better than Josh. Do your research.
Chad Carr proof is in the pudding dude! Ruben takes Josh to class.
@@mattdugan2000 Not a chance. Both are good drummers, but there is a reason Sting calls Josh Freese.
idn sting doesn’t need as good a drummer as Ruben, plus Ruben is already drumming for NIN he’s unavailable for sting.. so josh can have it.
they're this good at rehearsals? they must be phenomenal live... :D
Look it up!
They are
Top 3 shows I've ever been to.
oh, they are.
yeah. they are.
I wish that I were a member of NIN. They’re the Pink Floyd of my generation. And they opened so many doors for other bands and genres.
Don't mind me i'm just here for my daily watch
Kicking my self off to work with this track
I can't count the number of times I have watched this.
This is a bad ass performance.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song.
The Slip had just been announced/released on my 18th birthday (May 5 2008), and I got pulled over for speeding while listening to this song after school. So worth it. That memory, and all the times I’ve seen it played live since then, will live in my brain forever. I even got the artwork for “Demon Seed” tattooed on my arm when I saw them at Red Rocks in 2018. What an incredible, extremely underplayed album.
Bonus shoutouts to Meathead for his music video.
Probably one of the most beautiful NIN songs ever recorded on film.
Am I still tough enough?
Feels like I'm wearing down (down down down down)
Is my viciousness losing ground (ground ground ground ground)
Am I taking too much?

Midnight club Los Angeles ❤️
Hell yeah
I know this song from Midnight Club Los Angeles and I got to say that this song is one of the most underrated songs on NIN's catalogue.
Where's the Midnight Club in Los Angeles? I go to Boardner's on "Wednezdayz" and they play a fair amount of Nine Inch Nails but I've never heard of the Midnight Club? Is it a Goth/Industrial Club? What night of the week there is best music?
@@DJJezzebella it's a racing videogame that have the song on the soundtrack.
@@DJJezzebella but I bet my hair that is a club called like that. I SWEAR!!!
Robin Finck looks like a post apocalyptic warlord
Yes. . . & awesome & yes.
He is.
Well. He is a pre-apocalyptic god on the strings.
Gotta love it
cuz he is
Been fortunate enough to see NIN twice. Hopelessly addicted! Reznor is a genius.
i wish i was lucky as you to watch them even twice, me? none lol
18 times here
2x? Bummer, I spent most of the 90s chasing NIN around. I lost count, I like the old stuff better, still adore Trent, but it seems hes trying to hard. I love that hes sober tho
11 years ago... *crumbles into dust*
fave NiN song, trent, what a legend, met him in a swedish theme park a few years back, was so unbelievably cool and modest
legendary artist and band
A Swedish theme park? You mean like with roller coasters and stuff? In Sweden? Was he even playing a show in town that week or something? Because it would be so random if he wasn't even playing a show out there on tour but felt the need to go all the way across the more than half of the world on a twelve hour flight where its relatively freezing and there is such a limited amount of sunlight in the day just to go on throw up rides? Dang!? Stockholm must have some seriously sweet rides to have to go all the way out there for them?!
The building of multi-layer musical cake that starts at 2:22 is honestly just amazing. So many layers.
As an old English punk enthusiast ; Trent is something special . His appreciation for certain stuff like The Normal sets him aside .
As an old Australian punk enthusiast I concur!
Listening to a song like this one reminds us that music is an art. And this song is a fucking masterpiece :)
Just saw them at Red Rocks. Beautiful venue. Amazing show. NIN will always be close to my heart.
I can not stop myself from listening to this song )
I'm pretty sure i've contributed 100,000 views the view count.. This is flawless, I can't enjoy the track so much after hearing how good it is live.
I have so shitty day but this song makes me feel much better.
Thank you Trent !

Discipline lyrics © Form And Texture Inc
"Discipline" is a single from Nine Inch Nails and also the fourth track on Halo 27, The Slip. It contains a beat reminiscent of "Only" from With Teeth, and its lyrics seem to have a sado-masochistic overtone.
The song was released to radio stations simultaneously around 2:30pm EST on April 22, 2008, being mastered only the day before, and was then made available as a free download via discipline.nin.com, which eventually redirected to theslip.nin.com. When downloaded, it comes with track art and a note found in the comments box of the song info saying "Go to www.nin.com on May 5", which was the release date of the then-unannounced album The Slip. The lyrics are also contained.
Discipline" is the first radio single from NIN since becoming an independent recording act, following their final release under a major record label, 2007's Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D. Due to the advertisement and short notice of the release, the song was posted on UA-cam almost immediately after release. The multitrack files for this track were released at remix.nin.com.
The track art resembles a lowercase 'd'. It also resembles a person sitting with their knees drawn up to their chest, facing to the left. Lastly, the shape also resembles the portion of the Art is Resistance logo that contains the star. For the physical release booklet, the red line on the "Discipline" artwork continues over to the opposite lyrics page crossing over the phrase "I cannot help myself".

It's an understanding of the use of an uncontrollable power
One of the best, cant stop listening it. I also first heared it in old racing game - Midnight Club LA - that even more strange, so good music in just one title?

I love this song, one of the best songs off The Slip, once i start i cant help myself, best stuff ever..
1 of my favorite drum beats ever. Josh Freese is a beast
Why cant there be more music like this in the world today?
What a delight it is to have this song on my list of songs to play with my band, what beautiful music it is.🎉⚡
Goddamit that's amazing production
It's nice to hear a song that really pays attention to its bridge.
You cant beat that great straight head simplistic lead that creates an atmosphere of mis-controlled cahos! The beats are frigging amazing with Bass and Drums just kicking layer after layer / orchestration to the Max. Then that "clean" vocal strap ... Damn.

Love this lineup so much
I see why NIN's past drummer get so much respect, but Ilan really takes the band to a new level in my opinion
Chris Vrenna?
lava200 Josh Freese. A Perfect Circle. Weezer. GNR.
Josh was the best drummer they ever had.
Julio C. Rodriguez ok well we’ll put him and Ilan in a room and see who’s Better I bet you shut the fuck up
@megafuck lol!
Can't get enough of this! They rock
This is why NIN is better live than in the studio.
Yessssss sir!!
10 years later still beating the shit out of anything being released these days
best band ever...period
Ese maldito bajo!!!! 0:53 suena bien duro!!
Will never not come back to these songs!
This is NIN masterclass
I love how this song is crafted.
josss... tas dug tak hula hula hula
Los amo!!🥰
How f**king good is this?? lol. Totally amazing again from Trent and the guys!
yeah every song & performance on this DVD is good!
A rehearsal that puts to shame MANY artists out there. The quality is amasing!
Definitely my most listened to song of the last year. Better than the album version.
This is fantastic
