Nine Inch Nails: Closure Trailers

Closure is the 12th official Nine Inch Nails release. It consists of music videos interspersed with snippets from educational films, as well as exclusive footage shot by Peter Christopherson including antics by Nine Inch Nails and their tour guests: Marilyn Manson, Jim Rose Circus and David Bowie. Originally scheduled to be released on DVD in 2004, the disc appeared on internet torrent sites in 2006, including behind-the-scenes footage of the "Closer" video with commentary by Mark Romanek. Fans speculate that Reznor may have been the source of this leak.

Halo 12 Closure is a masterpiece com binding nine inch nails behind the scenes and on stage in the documentary. It may not have the best quality in a documentary but it certainly doesn't matter when you see Trent running around on stage doing crazy stuff like smashing a piano throwing a Mic stand etc. . The documentary takes place during the "Self-Destruct Tour" where the it shows live shows with songs like "The Only Time" "Down In It" and even features a great performance of "Hurt" with David Bowie. The second tape is where the calm sense ends includes Uncut music videos with some videos not air-able on MTV (uhem "Happiness In Slavery") and some showing the true Uncut version (uhem "Down In It"). The videos have some short old films between them some are a little weird but none that would give anyone the urge to puke or anything. The video that comes to mind most when people think of Closure (or Broken) is "Happiness In Slavery" where a man played by Bob Flannigan gets *Spolier*. Overall even if you have a "weak stomach" its worth a buy I definitely recommend it to all nine inch nails fan this may be one of their best Halos.

OK...I have this on a double tape. It's going to be coming out on DVD sometime in the future with more footage. Hopefully there will be the entire catalog of music videos available, but who can say? Inbetween songs, there is some vintage footage that Mr. Reznor has chosen himself, along with some other help from various people. What else can I say? Some of the clips in-between songs include the electrocution of an adult elephant, a fly super glued to a chair juggling various little items (he's actually trying to run on these items, and it looks like he's juggling). Totally worth the money (which I don't think is very much...if you can find it that is).

I was really scared the first time i saw this film, well the second film i watched them the wrong way round, but even so they are still visually stimulating and mentally mind-numbing. Definitely worth there money and weight in gold. The first video is a treat a collection of NIN videos for the not so MTV friendly world, including tunes like head like a hole and wish. The second is an assault of violence giving a sneak view of the self destruct tour, which is just amazing for those pour NIN fans that haven't seen them live. Roar untamed hedonistic power.

"Closure," an extensive video compilation released in November 1997 by Nine Inch Nails, contained two tapes. The first tape follows the infamous group around on a 1994-96 tour. The second tape contains all Nine Inch Nails videos ever produced, except for one particular video, for the song from the Oliver Stone movie, "Natural Born Killers." (The name of this song is called "Burn.")The video segments are sometimes too disturbing and uncomfortable to watch (the videos for "Sin," and "Happiness In Slavery" come to mind.) The rest of the videos, as bizarre as they may be, are slyly connected by the director by interesting, if not partially disturbing segments.At its best, tape two of "Closure," seems to have been produced without any compromising of aesthetic goals. At its worst, "Closure" proves to be too sickening to be enjoyed. Keep the remote control handy, because you'll want to fast forward through a few of the clips. Some "watchable" videos include "Head Like a Hole," "Down In It," "Wish," "Eraser/Hurt/Wish (Live)," "March of the Pigs," and "The Perfect Drug."Even if you can stomach extremely disturbing stuff, this one might cause a second or two of crawling skin. Enjoy, NINnies.
