Head Like a Hole

Head Like A Hole (Halo 3) was the second single released for the first Nine Inch Nails album Pretty Hate Machine.

It was the first commercial success Reznor had and recieved wide radio rotation at the time. It has appeared in almost every concert that Nine Inch Nails has performed since its appearance and has become a staple part of the live set. The With Teeth concerts usually end with this song.

Though Reznor doesn't dislike the song, he was quite suprised it became as big as it did, especially due to it's relatively easy writing process compared to some of the lesser recognized tracks on the CD (That's What I Get and Kinda I Want To most notably).

The single was released in maxi-single (US) and standard single (UK) formats and do not contain the original album version but rather several remixes of the title track.

Remixes of Terrible Lie are the B-Side for this single, as well as the two remixes of Down In It that appeared on the single for that track and a demo that only appears on the Head Like A Hole single itself.
