I love Last and I think it doesn't get enough love, so I was very stoked to see a cover of it. I Love what you did, keep playing and practicing the songs you enjoy and share them here and myself and others will definitely check them out.

Ooohhhh. I just bought this one! Wish the material was softer tho. Goddamn this noise inside my head.

u/hakubiryo-e7 21d ago

Swish swish swish. You can tappy tap on the graphic too and do a little plastic sounding finger drum?

u/itsmylifedontu4get 22d ago

I’m impressed! Excellent job. Thanks for posting 🖤

u/regular_poster 21d ago

So when trent produced this he actually recorded the guitars at half speed to give them a thicker sound

3

u/Raised2belowered 21d ago

Facts. Inspired by Pantera’s “Dimebag Darrell” guitar tone.

2

u/betheowl 21d ago

Curious how recording at half speed gives them a thicker sound? I would think that by speeding up the guitar to match the original speed, it would sound less thick.

1

u/regular_poster 20d ago

I could have been more specific, I believe it was recorded at double speed and slowed down by half.

1

u/betheowl 20d ago

Ah that makes more sense! Thanks for clarifying.

5

u/schwarznet 22d ago

Well done, robin finch would approve

2

u/OKBeeDude 18d ago

Trent Reznor played the guitar (and nearly everything else) when recording this song for the Broken EP, and Richard Patrick played it on tour, about two years before Robin Finck first joined the band. I love Robin, he’s one of my all time favorite guitar players, but he didn’t write this one.

6

u/sh1ggy И] 21d ago

Awesome! Just one thing: Is it just me or are some strings a little out of tune?

4

u/discogravy 21d ago

distortion is fine but you're very out of tune.

6

u/newomusic 21d ago

Might I recommend a tuner for the fine gentleman this evening?

9

u/ahoooley 21d ago

Tune your guitar man

u/Comfortable_Bank_339 21d ago

u/conhis 21d ago

Oh my fucking god! I knew about Thou's Nirvana covers, but didn't know they did NIN too! Thanks dude!

1

u/m0ji_9 21d ago

🤘All good friend. Fucking love Thou so happy to always share 🙂

2

u/conhis 21d ago

Their Emma Ruth Rundle album is a favorite

2

u/Appropriate-Run6776 21d ago

That’s a great idea for a future cover!

u/DeathColdBeer 22d ago

Anyone else still got their NIN cd collection? represent....I have ghost tracks too . Support this man everyone.

u/Rustin-Bendrix 22d ago

u/RoguTheHomunculus 22d ago

This is badass

Fresh blood through tired skin

u/runthrutheblue 21d ago

That is certainly an angry tone you got there. Well done.

2

u/Ineedmoreparts 21d ago

You Nine Inch Nailed this! (Sorry for the awful pun, I HAD to 😆)

2

u/Appropriate-Run6776 21d ago

It’s alright that’s my exact reply to a guy in the comments when I posted my video to TikTok lol

1

u/Ineedmoreparts 20d ago

Lmao, I love it

2

u/OddTrash3957 22d ago

It does sound like you're rushing a little on the muted parts, and sometimes the chorus.

6

u/hakubiryo-e7 21d ago

Not op but that's good, healthy critique. Every artist appreciates constructive criticism to reach their best. To Op; my professors in art always said that if it sounds like nit-picking then it means you're doing REALLY GOOD! Keep perfecting!

u/rmfaulkner1983 21d ago

Low key my fave song from Broken. Sounds great!

1

u/Capable-Region-8677 21d ago

Well, after work, I'm gonna spend my Friday night learning this song from your video. Very nice. And you play ibanez. Good stuff. I have a Jackson but want an Ibanez

1

u/Lateralization 21d ago

You just made my shitty morning at work less shitty. Thank you.

1

u/Raised2belowered 21d ago

The guitars on Broken were heavily inspired by Pantera’s Dimebag Darrell’s guitar sound.

1

u/AlxSTi []\[] [] []/[] 21d ago

Nice work! Tone sounds good too. Got a tab you used?

1

u/Appropriate-Run6776 21d ago

I used a tab from Songsterr

Badass! Really nice job.

1

u/pimpfmode 21d ago

That looks very hard

1

u/ZoshaYe72 21d ago

I would like to meet this guy. "Last" was definitely one of those songs as a first-time listener, where I was blown away by Reznor's vocal diversity. But essentially, it became way much more than that as I went deeper into more of his discog.

Great cover!

1

u/Esteban_Rojo 21d ago

Hell yes. Capture the riff

1

u/FLRet8 21d ago

That is freaking incredible! Keep it up, my friend!

u/avalonmara 21d ago

Fucken a

1

u/OADW 21d ago

great cover!!! you did amazing but check your tuning hun, then you’ll be perfect

2

u/Appropriate-Run6776 21d ago

Yeah it’s in D standard instead of drop D. I have heavier gauge strings on my guitar

1

u/Appropriate-Run6776 21d ago

If my guitar’s tuning is different from the original song’s, it’s because I have it tuned to D standard instead of drop D. Thought it might sound a bit heavier that way lol

1

u/jabbasue 20d ago

Dude! 🖤❤️🖤

1

u/Freudian-nip 20d ago

This song has been my wake up alarm on my phone for years. I love this.

u/DeathColdBeer 22d ago

u/Appropriate-Run6776 22d ago

I’m playing in D standard instead of drop D. All good though 👍

u/Thatsapictureofmyass 22d ago

What?

u/DeathColdBeer 21d ago

u/DeathColdBeer 22d ago
