It was originally packaged with "[[Physical]]" on a mini CD included with the EP, for the first pressing of 250,000 copies. On subsequent pressings, the two tracks were incorporated onto the EP as hidden tracks at the end of the disc. "Suck" is track 99 on ''Broken'', while "Physical" is track 98. ===Song Credits===*Writing: [[Trent Reznor]], Pigface*©1991 Thumbless music, Leaving Hope and TVT Music, Inc.*Production: Trent Reznor

""Suck"" is the second hidden track on the was originally written and performed by Pigface, a band lead by [[BrokenMartin Atkins]] EPand featuring Trent Reznor as well as many other notable industrial musicians. Originally packages with "Other notable singers of the song within Pigface include Nivek Ogre of [[Physical (You're So)Skinny Puppy]]" on , who even shared the song as a Mini CD sold duet with the EPReznor. Since 1994, it was later incorporated onto has become one of the EP as regular songs played by [[Nine Inch Nails]]. NIN recorded a hidden new version of the track after allegations , as Reznor was unhappy with the original and felt that some music stores it was unfinished and too minimal.[http://www.compulsiononline.com/interview_nineinchnails.htm] The [[multitracks]] for the original Pigface version of the song were removing the Mini CD and selling released for a remix contest. While this song appears on ''[[The Definitive NIN - The Singles]]'', it separatelywas never released as a single or promo.

A loud and guitar-driven, screamed chorus contrasts with a danceable and funky verse throughout the song, mediated by a quiet, bass-led bridge that eventually builds into a loud synthesizer solo before the final chorus. Afterward, the song returns to the funky verse, but remains instrumental. The beat stops, then is track 98cut up and spliced as Reznor whispers the final lyrics, ending the song.

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."===Appearances=Song Credits====*Broken*[[And All That Could Have Been]] Remixed by Trent Reznor and Chris Vrenna (section A), Butch Vig (CD/DVD/VHSsection B)*Pigface - The Best of Pigface

===Song CreditsSuck (Pigface ''Gub'' version)===*ProductionThis original recording, appearing on the Pigface album ''Gub'', features Reznor on guest vocals. Musically, the song is nothing like the Nine Inch Nails recordings of the song, characterized instead by drums and bass. Its multitracks were those released for a remix contest by Pigface. ===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)===Released digitally on iTunes in 2006 on the album ''Live at Metropol - Pittsburg, PA 04/25/91'', and appearing earlier on the ''Glitch'' VHS and DVD. The iTunes version is in stereo and is possibly sourced from the soundboard. The video version is in mono and is likely sourced from in-camera audio. Trent Reznoris featured on guest vocals. It opens with a bass riff, has a different ending, and the recording is overall closer in sound to the Nine Inch Nails version, rather than the Pigface studio 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, the line "I'm Jesus Christ on ecstasy", Trent changes to "I'm Jesus fuck on ecstasy".

"Suck" made its live debut on [[1990/05/22 Palo Alto, CA|May 22, 1990]]. It was played regularly at headlining, non-festival dates during the [[Pretty Hate Machine]] era, and became a live staple in the set through the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]]. Since then, it has only been played regularly since sporadically.  During the [[Pretty Hate Machine Tour]], it was played with a song structure that closely mirrored the album version, although the first leg of middle "I am so dirty..." bridge featured beats and an ascending guitar riff instead. Since the [[Self-Destruct Tour]] in 1994, it had been played like the album version, but ending after the last "Suck" chant and omitting the quieter outro.

This disease I give it to myself

The Her temple walls are made of flesh

I feel am so dirty on the inside
