What an amazing vocal performance! NIN
I just recently realized I didn’t have Pretty Hate Machine in my library somehow. Ordered it. Haven’t heard most of this record in decades. But now this tune is on a constant loop in my head. The piano is so haunting!
Anyway, I was a hair band guy. I wanted to go to the beach, party, and hook up with strippers when this came out. Which I did! LOL! (Until I met Mrs. Glam who wasn’t insane, fell head over heels, and moved in with her.) Point being(Cmon Glam), I was never angry or depressed. Full of angst or self loathing. I mean, I sang plenty of the blues but I had crazy girlfriends and was a broke musician. But mostly I was a David Lee Roth. Nah mean? Not that I sounded like him, but always smiling.
I’m blown away by this performance because Trent is able to vocalize, sorrow and loss. Self loathing and self hatred. In short, a tortured soul. I was always pretty good at what I did, but I’m pretty sure I couldn’t pull off the emotion necessary for this song. Unbelievable performance.
