==Mr(.) Self Destruct==
Looking at the TDS-releases on discogs ( http://www.discogs.com/Nine-Inch-Nails-The-Downward-Spiral-Deluxe-Edition/master/3719 ) I'm guessing that this song is only called "Mr. Self Destruct" on the US-releases whereas on the European ones the dot is left out. I just was wondering because last.fm always reproaches me of wrong tagging but my copies both tell me it's called "Mr Self Destruct" ( http://www.discogs.com/Nine-Inch-Nails-The-Downward-Spiral-Deluxe-Edition/release/865067 and http://www.discogs.com/Nine-Inch-Nails-The-Downward-Spiral/release/173264 ) I think there are more copies that feature the writing "Mr Self Destruct" so maybe we should adopt it ... --[[User:RickLip|RickLip]]
:As far as I can tell, only the 2004 reissues omit the period. As the "Mr" redirects here, I don't really think it's needed - seems more a typographical choice on the part of Reznor or Sheridan than a difference in how it's written.
:And for comparison - [http://www.nincatalog.com/index.asp?halo=8 nincatalog]. Far more reliable than discogs for nin halo information =) [[User:Sheepdean|sheepdean]] [[User_talk:Sheepdean|Try to speak as clearly as you can]] 07:01, 24 May 2010 (PDT)
=="Be part of me?"==
:::i think the sounds you're talking about are further Adrian Belew guitar manipulations. they don't sound like words to me whatsoever! i don't hear any consonant enunciation, breathing, or intonation that normally accompanies a human voice (and even microsoft sam!). - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|Seasonsinthesky]] 19:20, 31 May 2009 (PDT)
==Mr. Self Destruct by Soft Cell==
So I discovered the album ''This Last Night in Sodom'' by Soft Cell from 1984 recently and the first song is called ''Mr. Self Destruct''. I know Reznor likes them because NIN did a cover of their song ''Sex Dwarf'', so I'm just wondering if this song by Soft Cell is the inspiration for the title of the song on ''The Downward Spiral''.
What do you think? [[User:Tony W.|Tony W.]] 14:25, 14 March 2010 (PDT)
:He's a very big fan of them, and due to the unusual nature of the title, I would say that he -almost- certainly used the title as inspiration, but he's never actually stated that. I guess we could put it in the song info as "possibly named after ..." or something like that. Anyone else have input?

::PLUS, Soft Cell's third release was titled "The Art of Falling Apart". See any [[Things Falling Apart|similarities]] here? [[User:Knotrice|Knotrice]] 01:57, 12 May 2010 (PDT)
:::this was kind of obvious from the start anyway, since the band covered "Memorabilia." i'll add it to the article anyway. - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|seasonsinthesky]] 12:04, 14 May 2010 (PDT)
