                  NIN - Video Clips and Other Video Stuff



In order of release date:



     [*] DOWN IN IT (There are two versions of this... a short one, and a

     long one that just basically has the same shots, for lack of a better

     word, stuttering...)



     [*] HEAD LIKE A HOLE (there are 3 versions of this... )



     [*] SIN (unreleased, although it has turned up in dance clubs...)



     [*] PINION (the version in Broken movie is slightly different from the

     released version)



     [*] WISH (there are edited and unedited MTV versions of this: the

     edited is sans the obscenity and little outro of the cage being

     stormed. The Broken movie version has parts of the "snuff" film mixed

     in)



     [*] LAST (Rumors abound... please see the note regarding the Broken

     movie)



     [*] HELP ME I AM IN HELL (Rumours, rumours... see note on Broken)



     [*] HAPPINESS IN SLAVERY (i know this must have been released

     commercially at one point because it has shown up in the vaults of

     Much Music... please see the note on the Broken movie)



     [*] GAVE UP (Unreleased... please refer to the note on the Broken

     movie)



     [*] MARCH OF THE PIGS - Original (Not released...) this was directed

     by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson of Coil. It was supposed to be the

     first of Christopherson's series of four TDS videos, but that idea was

     terminated when this video was trashed. Supposedly it contained images

     of rooms filled with meat breathing, there have also been rumors of

     Midgets[??]. Christopherson and John said in an interview [Boing Boing

     I think], that trent trashed it because it would not have been

     releasable... and trent is typically caught between what he and record

     company wants...



     [*] MARCH OF THE PIGS (MTV version, shot by Christopherson after the

     original was trashed)



     [*] CLOSER (Both edited and non edited versions are known to exist)



     [*] BURN (Unedited and edited)



     [*] HAPPINESS IN SLAVERY (a live from the Woodstock performance, good

     sound if I do say so myself, better than was available on PPV. This is

     available on the Woodstock video that was legally released)



     [*] HURT (according to a person was involved in the filming of the

     tour: "'hurt' was indeed filmed in Omaha (February 13, 1995) with a

     smaller, 'controlled' crowd...merely for the ambience. it seems there

     could be a few visuals taken from the Dallas (February 11, 1995)

     show......so....? the sound is definitely from Omaha, but the visuals

     could be a combination of both, meaning that some of what we shot in

     Omaha wasn't usable for some reason or another."

Broken Movie:



     [*] Trent produced this short film with Peter 'Sleazy' Christoherson

     of COIL. It was not released due to the gratutitous violence which it

     contains, but it has somehow made its way into the hands of fans

     everywhere. It was distributed by a certain unmentionable Los Angeles

     record store for awhile, and has since recieved wide distribution as a

     bootleg. It contained a synthesized snuff film, which was likely

     created by Christopherson. Interspersed through out this film are the

     legally released videos for the songs from Broken. Also present are

     the videos for Help Me I Am In Hell (which appears as a blank black

     screen), and a video for Gave Up. The latter depicts the killing

     coming to a climax, and it containts shots of a television screen, on

     which trent's face can be seen, alternatively singing and hidding

     behind his hands. A certain individual posted to alt.music.nin,

     claiming he had a letterboxed version which included videos for Last,

     and an actual video for help me i am in hell. . .. However, the folks

     on amn angered this person, who then went on to send all of the orders

     back. So shall never know if he was truthful or not.



      For an excellent essay regarding broken, that will dispel many of the

     misconceptions, link to "Broken Is Not Snuff!", written by C-Ko Linde.

Additional:



     [*] Reznor can be seen performing Suck with Pigface members in the

     PIGFACE video Glitch



     [*] In the movie "The Light of Day," Trent can be seen performing a

     synthesized version of Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways" with a fictional

     group known as the Problems. He plays the synth and does backup

     vocals.



     [*] A live video may be released documenting the TDS tours. Much of

     the footage comes from the shows in Dallas, Omaha, and New Orleans

     near the end of the second tour. (Corrections appreciated). I have

     also heard that the secret club dates that occurred after the Outside

     tour were taped... this leads to a suspicion that this footage will be

     used in a live video. It was originally intended that the film would

     be finished 3 months after the TDS tour was completed... All i know is

     that the video has been put on hold indefinitely, because trent et al

     did not like how the original live footage turned out. Anyways, the

     director is Simon Maxwell, who apparently has had previous dealings

     with NIN.



     NOTE: i have heard rumors that the live video and CD will not be

     released. Can anybody please confirm or deny this? This is a crucial

     point!
