During the original broadcast of the show, a commercial faded in the Nine Inch Nails NIN logo on a black screen while playing a combination of music that started as a solo piano piece and morphed into an electronic / industrial beat ( which would later found out to be the songs " La Mer " and " Into the Void ," which share many melodic components and can be considered variations on a theme ) and ended with Trent Reznor screaming " Tried to save myself, but myself kept slipping away " and the word " ninetynine " in the trademark NIN reversed-N font.
This was only shown once during the original broadcast, was edited out of all repeats, and generally seen as a sign that the long-awaited follow-up to The Downward Spiral would be released early in 1999.
Work was continued on the album through the first half of 1999, and Nine Inch Nails performed the title track " The Fragile " off the double-CD at 1999 MTV Video Music Awards almost one year to the day of the " ninetynine " commercial.
It can be found as an Easter Egg or on the " Beneath The Surface " menu on the live NIN DVD And All That Could Have Been.
