}}'''"Capital G"''' is the seventh track on the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]],'' and is the second single from that album. Some have compared the beat to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" and Tears For Fears' "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" and Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel." [[Multitracks]] for this song were released in [http://remix.nin.com raw WAV, GarageBand , and Ableton Live formats] via [[remix.nin.com]]. ===Song Title and Meaning===According to [[Trent Reznor]] in [http://www.motor.de/motormeinung/motor.de/nine_inch_nails_der_apokalyptische_reiter.html this interview] (German), "Capital G" refers to Greed, but can also be applied to political figures in the present day. (President Bush, God, "Green" (Monetary systems)) ===Miscellaneous==={{issue|section}}* The text 'capital G' can be seen in [http://yearzero.nin.com/img/07.jpg one of the images] linked to from the official [http://yearzero.nin.com/ NIN Year Zero mini-site]. It is edited onto the yellow box (actually a Metasonix 'Butt Probe' effects unit), third from the top in the first of the two columns.* On [[Exterminal]] this song is used as evidence against Inmate A (presumably Reznor). It is in wav format in its entirety.* One of the Exterminal [http://exterminal.net/notes.htm subpages] is a page of notes mentioning "Capital G" at the bottom.* The multitrack files released for ''Capital G'' have an extra drum solo at the end of the song.* The voices heard after the chorus are a crowd screaming and a distorted voice saying, ''"Greed!"''

* Brass/winds musical arrangement: Jeff Geoff "Double G" Gallegos* Baritone sax: Jeff Geoff "Double G" Gallegos

This is the original album version. It begins with an off-kilter beat, followed by a distorted synth bass. Reznor's vocal has an odd, halting cadence during the verses that somewhat corresponds to the lumbering nature of the beat. The chorus brings in a heavily distorted guitar squall, and a chaotic synth pattern at the end. The second verse adds in more synth and guitar layers. The second chorus adds background vocals and the "Greed!" chant at the end, and a layer of just barely audible horns underneath. The final chorus brings in yet another layer of background vocals.

===Capital G (Phones 666 RPM Mix - Main Mix)===

This remix is on both the ''Capital G'' promo and ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' . It has a more dance-oriented beat and a few dub mix elements. The wind instruments used in the original seem to have disappeared entirely in this mix or were manipulated even more, making them sound nothing like the original instruments used. Some of the vocal treatments are reminiscent of the DFA remix of "[[The Hand That Feeds (song)|The Hand That Feeds]]"."

An alternate title for this remix is "Capital G: Epworth Phones 666 Revolutions"."

===Capital G (Phones 666 RPM Mix - Clean)===

===Capital G (Phones 666 RPM Edit - Clean Edit)===

A shorter version of the "Phones 666 RPM clean mix.Mix - Clean" More information coming soon.

===Capital G (Switch Remix)===

This remix, found on the vinyl edition of ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D'' and the ''Capital G'' promo CD single , is very different from the album version. It incorporates a house beat and minimalist lyrics. In addition, the melody is vastly different, sounding somewhat like radio feedback rather than distorted guitars or wind instruments, which were used in the original album version.

===Capital G (Ladytron—Finite Ladytron - Finite Climax Mix)===

This remix appears on the vinyl edition of ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' . It begins with a synth melody very different from what is heard on ''Year Zero,'' , and vocals come in shortly thereafter. At the second verse, the vocals are layered under a bass line that acts as a counter-melody to the initial synth melody.

"Capital G" made its live debut on [[2007/05/13 Melbourne, Australia|May 13, 2007]] at the Metro Nightclub in Melbourne, Australia. It was played at most shows on the Australia/Japan leg of the [[Performance 2007]] tour, but dropped off the setlist after the first show of the European summer leg and has only not been played nine times and not since 2007.
