==Meaning/title==
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 George W. Bush, God, "Green" (Monetary systems)). Before performing the song on [[2007/05/24 Osaka, Japan|May 24, 2007]], Reznor said "To my friend George Bush."

* The text 'capital G' can be seen in [httphttps://yearzerowww.nin.comwiki/images/e/imge4/07.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!"''
