}}'''"Piggy"''' is the second track from the 1994 album ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' It is one of the many songs to include the phrase "[[Nothing Can Stop Me Now]]". The drum solo featured in the last half of the song is actually performed by [[Trent Reznor]] himself. Initially, it was a drum test being used as a placeholder in the song, but he liked it too much to replace it.

'''"Piggy"''' is the second track from the 1994 album ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' It is the first song to feature a live drum performance by [[Trent Reznor]], and one of the many to include the phrase "[[Nothing Can Stop Me Now]]".===Meaning===According to the Filter biography on their official website, former live guitarist [[Richard Patrick]] reportedly received the nickname "Piggy" while in Nine Inch Nails. As well, "Piggies" is a song on The Beatles' 1968 self-titled (or 'white') album, a noted influence on Charles Manson, who scrawled the word "pig" in blood on the front door of the Sharon Tate mansion wherein he and his 'Family' killed Tate and several others on August 8, 1969. The mansion was also where Reznor recorded ''The Downward Spiral'' in 1993-4. Whether or not Patrick or the Tate murders are directly related to this song is unknown, though Reznor kept the Tate door when he moved to [[Nothing Studios]] in New Orleans. The drum solo featured in the last half of the song is actually Reznor himself. Initially, it was a drum test being used as a placeholder in the song, but he liked it too much to replace it.

"Piggy" was remixed by [[Rick Rubin]] for the 1995 remix album ''Further Down The Spiral''. It features Dave Navarro on guitar and samples "Put Your Love in My Tender Care" by the Fatback Band. This remix was also featured on 2004's 2nd CD of the 10th Aniversary Anniversary Deluxe Edition of ''The Downward Spiral.'' Featured first on the [[Dissonance]] tour, it is one of the only remixes ever played live, and was revived for the [[Wave Goodbye Tour|NIN|JA 2009]] tour.

===Bridge School Benefit===Reznor performed a new version of "Piggy" on piano with a string quartet at Neil Young's 2006 [[Bridge School Benefit]] concert. This was most likely the inspiration for the "Ghosts Piggy" arrangement that was used in 2008.
