When PETER MURPHY sang NIN's "Reptile" - a comparative analysis

What do I think of the version of Reptile performed in this tiny room with Peter Murphy, Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Jeordie White? What are the notable differences in terms of composition, arrangement, and performance? NOTE: My usual harmonic analysis (with more thoughts on sound design because yo know me I can't help myself) will be in a separate video coming out soon! ___________ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL- exclusive videos, sheet music, livestreams, and covers: https://www.patreon.com/iximusic BUY ME A LIPSTICK: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/iximusic WATCH deep dive NIN harmonic and rhythmic analysis videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH036NNMYMw&list=PLn_Xar3I0ZoBekweW27w_hVQxbfHntzyB DOWNLOAD multitracks and fonts: http://www.nindestruct.com/ - many thanks to Jerry Langwell for running this awesome site! ___________ SPECIAL BIG PIG THANK YOU to my Patrons: Victoria Hogg, Dario Cotti, Duncan Edwards, Zachary Stevens, Darius McCaskey, John Kirkilis, Ada Cohen, James M.

This is so awesome! I saw him open for NIN in Saratoga on the 2006 tour...so long ago!!

Thank you for this. There are so many great videos on YouTube of Trent and Peter Murphy performing together: Dead Souls, Hurt, Bela Lugosi's Dead. I love Peter Murphy's singing in the cover of Love and Rockets' "Haunted When The Minutes Drag" in the second half of the video. Amazing effects on his voice.

Ok I was wondering what that jam at the end was from!

Much as I loved hearing David Bowie in concert with Trent, this rendition has never once failed to give me ASMR. It's simply amazing in every possible phase and way, to me. The intimacy of the setting certainly gives it something special all by itself.

yeah there are some really amazing "textural" sounds in there! Those were some lucky audience members :)

I did like Peter Murphy’s vocals, but that tambourine sound pulled me out of the experience and I ended up not liking this version much. I also really miss that whirring, mechanical sound. It doesn’t quite feel like Reptile without it. That said, I would have loved to have been in that room :)

Etvid

Really enjoyed Trent playing the bass.

He held it down, nice and calm.

Jay Farris

Wow I loved this more than I thought I would. Much blues-ier/funk-ier feel for the first half, and then the second half breakdown gave me goosebumps. Those middle Eastern sounding vocals, then morphing into like a psychedelic jam session with lead guitar and vocals very reminiscent of David Bowie’s outside album (my favorite Bowie album). Also trents super gritty bass. Just really love this. Thanks for sharing.

Peter Murphy has a Korg Kaoss Pad KP3+ and or a Korg Kaossilator Pro+ that he is using on one of the Mics I think, or something. 😬
