Notes
- NIN has covered How To Destroy Angels seven times thus far. Considering that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are both studio members of the band, and Alessandro Cortini is a live member of both bands, this is not surprising.
- NIN/Reznor has covered David Bowie eight times, the most for any non-related artist.
- "Suck" is frequently debated as a cover song, as Reznor both co-wrote and appeared on the original release.
- Contrary to popular belief, NIN has never covered "Supernaut".
- And All That Could Have Been's DVD release comes with bonus footage of NIN covering "The Beautiful People" with Marilyn Manson.
- Closure's digital download comes with footage of the unreleased "Sex Dwarf" studio sessions.
- The version of "Reptile" performed by Peter Murphy and NIN during the 2006 Radio Collaboration incorporates elements of Love And Rockets' "Haunted When The Minutes Drag".
