}}'''"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.

According to the Filter biography on their official website, former live guitarist [[Richard Patrick]] reportedly received the nickname "Piggy" while in Nine Inch Nails. According to Patrick's Filter bandmate Brian Liesegang, Reznor was very upset when Patrick left the band and wrote the song "Piggy" about it shortly thereafter. Patrick gave the story behind his nickname in a 2013 interview[http://www.intravenousmag.co.uk/2013/09/richard-patrick-explains-origins-of.html]: <blockquote>"One evening the day before some studio time with Trent I took a girlfriend to a [[Skinny Puppy]] gig. I was watching the sound check and Ogre was on the mic shouting 'WHITE PIGGY' over and over, I found it really funny. When I got back to the studio and we were setting up, I keep doing an impersonation of Ogre and after a few minutes Trent shouted to me 'Hey Piggy, shut up and play some chords man!', and the name stuck after that".</blockquote> 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 and Reznor kept the Tate door when he moved to [[Nothing Studios]] in New Orleans. However, Reznor debunked rumors of song connections to the Tate murders in an interview[http://www.nin-pages.de/2003_Metal_Hammer_April_english.htm]:
