}}'''"Metal"''' is the eighth track on ''[[Things Falling Apart]],'' a [[Cover Songs|cover]] of [[Gary Numan]] from his 1979 album ''The Pleasure Principle''. An early, partial leak of the cover from ''[[The Fragile]]'' era was remixed and shared under various names, most often the "Lee Completion Mix."  Initial work on the cover was begun in 1995.[http://www.nin-pages.de/1995_Details_April_english.htm] It was rumored[https://groups.google.com/g/alt.music.nin/c/s9qTD8xyS4M/m/v816mGKbwBgJ] to have been created and submitted for the Gary Numan tribute album, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_(album) Random], but it did not appear on the final release. It was later slated to appear on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files:_The_Album The X-Files: The Album], and was even solicited as such on the label's website.[https://groups.google.com/g/alt.music.nin/c/ndtq1XkUWUA/m/0sbzFGrjvRMJ] There were reports that Reznor withdrew it, possibly because of [[Filter]]'s inclusion on the same album.[https://groups.google.com/g/alt.music.nin/c/iofsxT-81NY/m/kMsFnWI1IsMJ]
