[edit] Versions

In The Fragile era, nin.com released "The New Flesh (version a)" (1:22) and "The New Flesh (version b)" (1:07).

[edit] Live

While "The New Flesh" has never been played live in the traditional sense, instrumental portions of "The New Flesh" crossfaded quickly into "Pinion" formed a prerecorded intro to the Fragility tour shows of 1999 and 2000. The snippet was included on the DVD version of And All that Could Have Been (2002). Sometimes the finale of the intro featured Trent Reznor screaming "give it to me, I can take it". The same combination was used in some shows of the 2006 With Teeth tour.

[edit] Trivia

The vinyl version of The Fragile and disc 1 of We're in This Together also contain "10 Miles High", another song not found on the CD version. These two tracks serve as clear examples of "drug songs" recorded in an era that Trent Reznor later admitted to be heavily influenced by drugs.^[1]
