Changes

This remix contains a sample of the lyric "erase me" slowed down and repeats the phrase "kill me" throughout. The intro [[samples]] slowed-down speech ("yours is the plague of blasphemy and fornication") from the film ''At Play In The Fields Of The Lord''.

"Eraser" made its live debut on [[1994/08/27 Rochester, NY|August 27, 1994]]. Often played with screen projections of some sort. During the [[Self Destruct Tour]], these projections were of desert landscapes and microscopic "chaos". A version played during the [[Dissonance]] Tour begins with a new drum loop and the humming/straw sounds, it builds with the same guitar parts as the album version. The atmosphere builds until approximately the middle of the song, where the lead guitar switches from the main melody and into a version of the "[[The Downward Spiral (song)|The Downward Spiral]]"-motif played by Reznor, which builds in volume into a distorted, start/stop climax and a final power chord left ringing. The variation of the motif found here is much shorter and played as follows, with variations that bend the notes similar to the song's regular guitar melody:
