Dir: Eric Zimmerman & Benjamin Stokes"Head Like a Hole"
Down in It, was never shown on MTV in its original form. In the original video, Trent falls off the building he is walking on, and is shown dead. The censored version is pretty much the same thing, with the scenes of 'Dead Trent' taken out.
Dir: Eric Zimmerman"Sin"
A 'live' video in which the band is in a cage-like stage. Toward the end the band is overtaken by the surroundings, resulting in an upside-down, suspended Trent.
Dir: Brett Turnbull"Pinion"
A video for Sin was shot but never commercially released, due to Trent's objections with TVT's editing. What wasn't destroied after eight years was featured on halo tweleve, the NIN video release, Closure. The mostly black and white video features Trent playing a game of slave and master with a half-naked women.
Dir: Eric Goode & Serge Becker"Wish"
Pinion basically starts off with a toilet being flushed, then you follow the flushed water down the plumbing until it gets to the mouth of a bound man being tortured.
Dir: Peter Christopherson"Help Me I am in Hell"
Wish is another 'live' video, this one is in an elaborate caged-in 'stage' in which the audience is trying to get to the band through the cage. At the end of the un-edited version, they finally break through and get Trent.
Dir: Eric Goode & Serge Becker
This video is basicly a zooming shot of a man eating a meal while flies crawl on his food and into his mouth.
Dir: Jon Reiss"Gave Up"
This video contains a man being tortured to death by his own free will. At the end, Trent comes in for his turn. It is all shot in black and white.
Dir: Jon Reiss"March of the Pigs"
This video is a clip of the band performing the song live in the studio and features none other than Marilyn Manson on guitar.
Dir: Peter Christopherson"Closer"
March of the Pigs was a very low budget, thrown together live performance of the track, the version of the song used was actually the bands' 'performance' of the song. Very good video.
Dir: Mark Romanek"Burn"
Closer was nine inch nails' 'breakthrough' video. Much of it was filmed on old 1920s' file Trent acquired. It was put out in 2 versions: MTV's censored one with 'scene missing' in place of some of the more explicit shots, and the uncensored version.
Dir: Hank Corwin"Hurt (live)"
Burn was a video for the soundtrack to 'Natural Born Killers'. The video contains many scenes from the movie, and Trent singing in a white tee-shirt and jeans.
Dir: Simon Maxwell"The Perfect Drug"
Hurt is a live video from the 94-95 tour, shot in Omaha/Dallas. The backdrop contains footage of rapidly decaying animals, predators, and old World War II footage.
Dir: Mark Romanek"The Day the World Went Away"
This video boasts Trent with a goatee, and visuals that appear to be taken straight from the artwork of Edward Gorey. Trent is also pictured preparing and drinking absinthe, a very potent and illegal alcoholic beverage.
There was a video shot for "The Day the World Went Away" in New York but, for an unkown reason it was never released. From what I've heard it involved Trent turning into different plants and animals."We're In This Together"
Dir: Mark Pellington
The black & white video for "We're In This Together" is shots put together of Trent and many others all dressed in black running away, the video ends in the desert where everyone disappears but Trent.
