I never understood why Trent said in an interview that he didn't think much of this song and thought it was 'cheesy', for me it was always my favourite track off the downward spiral.
That lead synth is the part that makes the song so bad ass, it sounds like a bunch of bagpipes at least to me, but its such an unnatural sound, it doesn't even sound like a synth, its just a unique sound.
love this song.. best part of my life while i was studying in the university.. no one understood the music i listened in my phone, the music i used to post in my facebook, back in 2009, Cusco, Perú..I felt like the luckiest man just to know your songs. Trent Reznor, I owe you a lot, your music gave me a lot of motivation
this is awesome, always has been and is still my favorite NIN song. Trent doesn't perform this song to often from what I know so this is really special. Great Job capturing a moment!
So im 13... i have all this loathing in me and this album is on the charts.. it defined me.. more then anything all that anxt and energy and rage and anger and just fuck everything
You had all of them on your side Didn't you, didn't you? You believed in all your lies Didn't you, didn't you? The Ruiner's got a lot to prove He's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe The Ruiner is your only friend And he's the living end to the cattle he deceives Raping of the innocent You know the Ruiner ruins everything he sees Now the only pure thing left In my fucking world is wearing your disease How'd you get so big? How'd you get so strong? How'd it get so hard? How'd it get so long? You had to give them all a sign Didn't you, didn't you? You had to covet what was mine Didn't you, didn't you? The ruiner's a collector He's an infecter, serving his shit to his flies Maybe there will come a day When those that you keep blind will suddenly realize Maybe it's a part of me You took it to a place I hoped it would never go And maybe that fucked me up much more than you'll ever know How'd you get so big? How'd you get so strong? How'd you get so hard? How'd it get so long? And what you gave to me? My perfect ring of scars You know I can see What you really are
I actually use the Canon DM-100, it's the directional mic that fits in any recent Canon camcorder's Mini Advanced Shoe port. The mic has three settings: -Mono Shotgun -90° Stereo -120° Stereo Typically for concerts I use the 90° Stereo setting. It is a nice mic but a bit pricey, I think I spent around $170 on it.
No, Trent wanted NIN to end because it was overwhelming and he was afraid of continuing(according to interviews), he did Destroying Angels for like 4 years and came back cause he needed it. That is all info fro treats blog.
My best friend in HS back in the 90s said he went to a NIN show and he got spit on by Trent Reznor himself and I remember how happy he was bec of that.
I love that they use real kits on this one. I wish they did the same for Came Back Haunted. I don't know what it's like to hear it at the shows but the sampled bass and drum track really waters the song down, at least when I see it on video.
ive seen them play two times, once with APC, and the other time with Bauhaus(!) could have been three if the guy who drove us to NINJa wasnt so fucking neurotic that he had to drive back home two times to get shit that he forgot. dude still owes me for that one.
I get once more the chance to see NIN/Trent Oct5 here in Ohio...its on a Saturday night too....being on the floor for this kind of show is something in onto itself.
Actually I had tickets to the Wiltern venue but the Echoplex was supposed to be the last show. If it hadn't been for the Wiltern venue being rescheduled I wouldn't have been at the last show. Hell, I even flew out to LA twice because it got canceled/rescheduled, lol. Guess it was karma/fate/something... :D
did Trent actually play the solo on guitar in the studio? i read an interview and he mentioned it started out as like an "accidental" patch? i don't even know what that means, isn't that like a program update? does that imply that he didn't actually play guitar on it?
I'm aware of the fact that Robin's skills are grand, but I prefer Aaron's take on this solo. Also, for some reason, I can never quite hear Robin's backing vocals, when Aaron was constantly providing great support on that regard. Don't get me wrong, I love both of them equally and don't wish to start a stupid fight over who's better. Anyway, thanks for the upload!
did you? dream you? find you? taste you. use you. scar you. fuck you. break you. LOSE ME. SMASH ME. HATE ME. erase me. KILL ME! KILL ME! KILL ME!

I never understood why Trent said in an interview that he didn't think much of this song and thought it was 'cheesy', for me it was always my favourite track off the downward spiral.
It was interesting, experimental, and hard hitting...like most of the album. He might have felt that way more about the lyrics maybe?
same tbh
@AnnaDahmer666 He said "I have such a bad vibe from that song now--from it sucking in so many different ways"
That guitar solo is awesome
I fuckin love this love part 2:31
Trent - "didn't you?"
Robin - "didn't you ?!"
Trent - "DIDN'T YOU ?!"
T. Reznor can channel his anger like Keanu Reeves channels bad accents, it is effortless..
That lead synth is the part that makes the song so bad ass, it sounds like a bunch of bagpipes at least to me, but its such an unnatural sound, it doesn't even sound like a synth, its just a unique sound.
Sounds like a 90s action movie/game soundtrack i always thought it was the most badass thing ever
@@hensoakirareminds me of earthworm Jim
Idk, in this performance it's the huge bass, and the guitar solo. I think this is better than the album version
It's even better on LSD
@@zeke2095 the genesis version
Jesus. could it be? a GOOD fan recording of a live show?!
Trent Reznor saved my soul too many times
So poetic!
I wish he would slot a 'Ruiner' into like....Piggy's spot in the setlist more often.
Yep me to, this n Sin are deffo their nost kick arse songs
yeah, I mean Piggy is good but I’d rather see Ruiner performed any day.
I remember when I first heard this song, I thought there was no way they could play live and have it sound good. Clearly, I was mistaken.
It felt so surreal to be there and hear that baseline knowing that you are just about to hear Robin play that solo right in front of you.
After years of checking out NIN live performances, I still come back to this one and I'm always so happy to see Trent perform with such passion.
What the fuck. This is an incredible recording.
love this song.. best part of my life while i was studying in the university.. no one understood the music i listened in my phone, the music i used to post in my facebook, back in 2009, Cusco, Perú..I felt like the luckiest man just to know your songs.

Love Robin's handling of the solo, he puts just the right amount of his own spin on it.
You didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me
This is great quality
I had to fly out to LA twice in one week for this, too!
Thanks for the footage!
So im 13... i have all this loathing in me and this album is on the charts.. it defined me.. more then anything all that anxt and energy and rage and anger and just fuck everything
chaonatic you are awesome for recording this. gave me goosebumps
You had all of them on your side
Didn't you, didn't you?
You believed in all your lies
Didn't you, didn't you?
The Ruiner's got a lot to prove
He's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
The Ruiner is your only friend
And he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
Raping of the innocent
You know the Ruiner ruins everything he sees
Now the only pure thing left
In my fucking world is wearing your disease
How'd you get so big?
How'd you get so strong?
How'd it get so hard?
How'd it get so long?
You had to give them all a sign
Didn't you, didn't you?
You had to covet what was mine
Didn't you, didn't you?
The ruiner's a collector
He's an infecter, serving his shit to his flies
Maybe there will come a day
When those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
Maybe it's a part of me
You took it to a place I hoped it would never go
And maybe that fucked me up much more than you'll ever know
How'd you get so big?
How'd you get so strong?
How'd you get so hard?
How'd it get so long?
And what you gave to me?
My perfect ring of scars
You know I can see
What you really are
um holy shit this is bad ass.
So happy that you uploaded this. The bass sounds badass in this live version.
Robin Finck has an incredible Voice
this song defines bad ass, wish they played it more
That was amazing. My god.
Amazing. great video. Chaonatic thank you for providing us with some excellent footage throughout NIN's tours.
3:22 one of the greatest things ive ever heard
I actually use the Canon DM-100, it's the directional mic that fits in any recent Canon camcorder's Mini Advanced Shoe port. The mic has three settings:

that tambourine must've been a great souvenir
Jesus Christ I have seen them 4 times but it seems rare they play Ruiner, would love to see this song live
Favorite Song from "TDS"
Love It
Outstanding video and audio.
the guitarist is on fire and on point ,
That's funny, cause I'm pretty sure he's gone on like three more tours after this. You might want to update the description homie.
At the time this was uploaded it was the final NIN concert. But then they came back obviously.
It was just one last tour before a break, that' all.
No, Trent wanted NIN to end because it was overwhelming and he was afraid of continuing(according to interviews), he did Destroying Angels for like 4 years and came back cause he needed it. That is all info fro treats blog.
@@whippybox9271 Came back haunted. 😉

👉🏼👉🏼
You know I can see, what you really aaaaaaareeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yeah. What you really areeee.... epic fucking guitar solo.
Fantastic!!!
My best friend in HS back in the 90s said he went to a NIN show and he got spit on by Trent Reznor himself and I remember how happy he was bec of that.
I saw them in Japan, in 08, as part of this "retirement" tour.
I love that they use real kits on this one. I wish they did the same for Came Back Haunted. I don't know what it's like to hear it at the shows but the sampled bass and drum track really waters the song down, at least when I see it on video.
The verse was great. The chorus was missing it's wispy flavor. Still loved the heart.
ive seen them play two times, once with APC, and the other time with Bauhaus(!) could have been three if the guy who drove us to NINJa wasnt so fucking neurotic that he had to drive back home two times to get shit that he forgot. dude still owes me for that one.
Thanks for doing Ruiner first, man :)
great upload, man!
EPIC
I get once more the chance to see NIN/Trent Oct5 here in Ohio...its on a Saturday night too....being on the floor for this kind of show is something in onto itself.
reconstruted version is crazy too ^^
Epic tambourine toss
This wasn’t their final performance, I saw them live.
it was supposed to be
at the time it was
Actually I had tickets to the Wiltern venue but the Echoplex was supposed to be the last show. If it hadn't been for the Wiltern venue being rescheduled I wouldn't have been at the last show. Hell, I even flew out to LA twice because it got canceled/rescheduled, lol.
Guess it was karma/fate/something... :D
Song rocks!
You know it! ;)
It'll be even better when I get the 1080p version up (and thanks.)
:)
10 years later..
that fucking bass is so fucking bad ass jesus christ is so fucking sinister sounding one of the rare songs the bass is the lead
Amazing recording!!
this has always been one of my favorites. what other nine song has a rippin' guitar solo?
We're In This Together, Last, The Fragile, there's a good few of 'em ;)
i'd say "touche" if this weren't still the best of the bunch :D
No, you don't. Has got a great solo in it
damn that solo was awesome by Robin!
Sic as fuck
Dat solo!
yeah, I agree. don't get me wrong, I love NIN, but the anger is gone. Trent's happy now and I'm left here alone with my rage lol.
Damn I would love too hear a re released version of the downward spiral with their modern sound
no
absolutely No!!!!!!
The album is a masterpiece as it is and should be left untouched.
Hello fucking NO! Atticus Ross needs to stay far far away from TDS, I'm really not liking NIN so much since he joined
I believe he just uses the onboard mic. The audio and video are awesome either way.
I love ruiner, but how come nobody's playing the keyboard? lol, anyway, this song is fuckin great!!
Yeah I went to the final NIN concert only to find out it wasn't the final NIN concert. Kinda shitty, but long live Reznor. My man
Dude 2:03 love it!
Final my ass
My last relationship.
I think it's just a much different energy from the destructive shows he used to play.
How's the last 10 years been for you?
I want to click the "Fucking Love" button, "Like" doesn't do it justice...
HOW DID YOU GET SO HARD? TELL ME
Not by my take. Just sincere.
HAHAHAHA the drummer is part of the Muppet Shows. Theres no goin back after this.
Lol “final”
man i just hope they play this song again during their next tour, whenever it may be
halo
did Trent actually play the solo on guitar in the studio? i read an interview and he mentioned it started out as like an "accidental" patch? i don't even know what that means, isn't that like a program update? does that imply that he didn't actually play guitar on it?
Not the final i got vip tickets to the NYC show woooooooooooooooooooooot
Final show was in LA jabroni
Scheisse auf Depesche Mode.... mehr gibt's nicht???

I loved it but the guitar did not do Trent's original solo justice at all : (.
