Originally It was originally packaged with "[[Physical]]" on a Mini mini CD sold included with the EP, it was later for the first pressing of 250,000 copies. On subsequent pressings, the two tracks were incorporated onto the EP as a hidden track after allegations that some music stores were removing tracks at the end of the Mini CD and selling it separatelydisc. "Suck" is track 99 on ''Broken'' , while "Physical" is track 98.

==About==
"Suck" was originally written and performed by Pigface, a band lead by [[Martin Atkins]] and featuring Trent Reznor as well as many other notable industrial musicians. Other notable singers of the song within Pigface include Nivek Ogre of [[Skinny Puppy]], who even shared the song as a duet with Reznor. Since 1994, it has become one of the regular songs played by [[Nine Inch Nails]].
NIN recorded a new version of the track, as Reznor was unhappy with the original and felt that it was unfinished and too minimal.[http://www.compulsiononline.com/interview_nineinchnails.htm] The [[multitracks]] for the original Pigface version of the song were released for a remix contest. While this song appears on ''[[The Definitive NIN - The Singles]]'', it was never released as a single or promo.
'''''Running Time: 4:13'''''
This minimalist remix, on ''Fixed,'' , contains elements from both "[[Last]]" and "Suck"." Opening with bubbling synthesizer loops, it mostly consists of the bass riff from the middle of "Suck"," which is repeated throughout the track. Layered below it are various quiet vocal samples from both songs. Eventually, the drum beat featured at the very end of the original bridge in "Suck" is looped and fades in, eventually segueing directly into the ending of Butch Vig's mix of "Last"."

===Suck (Live)===
This live soundboard recording is from a Nine Inch Nails performance at an unknown date, likely from the [[Sin_Tour|Sin]] or [[Hate_Tour|Hate]] tours. It was originally released on the ''[http://www.discogs.com/Various-TVT-Sampler-Summer-1991/release/1563615 TVT Sampler Summer 1991] '' cassette, but as that was a promo with limited distribution, it was popularized in the NIN fanbase by its inclusion on the ''[[Halo 00]]'' and, later, ''[[Demos and & Remixes]]'' [[bootlegs]].
===Suck (Pigface live version)===
===Suck (''And All That Could Have Been'')===
This live version is similar to the album version, but the ending is shortened, with Reznor shouting "Suck!" repeatedly rather than singing the song's final lyrics or returning to the verse beat and bassline. Also, Reznor changes the line "I'm Jesus Christ on ecstasy", Trent changes to "I'm Jesus fuck on ecstasy".
