So, on a medical level, what organs can I sell and still live?

I think you can get away with living with 3/4 or 2/3 of your liver,a kidney of course or maybe you can donate some bone marrow.

All kidding aside, hopefully they tour outside of LA, I imagine they'll hit up NY, Chicago and the like. Which means I might consider fasting in order to get funds to go. Though I'm curious who they would recruit/need to bring this stuff to life.
There's 3 already, so maybe just a drummer or something?

The idea of HTDA touring in 2012, when Trent ALSO said he's going to spend most of 2012 writing new NIN, makes me think two things. Either a) some of the new NIN album is going to be written YZ style, on the road, and just mixing after the tour (or more likely b) a very short, small, not too many venue tour, to be able to test the waters (in regards to how well it will work, as well as the demand for HTDA vs what he's used to for NIN) as well as have time to put into the new NIN album, since he said it's not going to be a quick one again, rather he's going to take his time and put a lot into it like he used to.
That was probably the longest sentence I've ever written.

they def. will not be doing extensive touring. either a short club run, festival appearances, or both. theyre trying to raise a baby, now's not the time to tour the country for 2 months at a time. and its not like they need the $ (well, maybe Atticus does haha).

12-07-2011, 05:50 PM
don't get me wrong, I'd love it; but based only on the EP (which is all we really have right now), I have no idea how on earth a show could actually be interesting. Its not like there's strong lead vocals (that's not a knock on the singing, its just its pretty background by design), the music is pretty loop and sample based (so there's not much to actually 'play'), and its not especially danceable. maybe the LP will come out and knock all this straight out the window, but as for now, a live show seems sort of ... ehh...then again, this is probably exactly what they said after PHM, so I'll keep an open mind

I'm sure he swings and misses from time to time. Case in point? Tapeworm. The thing is we don't generally see the misses. There's a reason Tapeworm never saw the light of day, he's made that clear. If HTDA does live dates, rest assured that he's already spent the time working out that it's viable.

Guuuyyyss...there's a better chance for South FL then Central FL. :-D But first to see if they even do anything outside of a few El Lay shows when getting started.

(Some fellow fan told me once that TR liked Orlando while we were in line waiting for 'With Teeth' midnight release - thus the multiple shows back in '95 during the Club Tour which was hard for me to believe as I only heard about/attended one.)

Dreamy HTDA Live Lineup

Vocals Mariqueen
Keys/2nd Guitar TR
Programming Atticus
Bass Jeordie
Guitar Dave Navarro

Honorable mention to Aaron North as a candidate. Robin should be the live NIN guitarist until the end of time but North isn't up to much these days and I think he would compliment better the droney nature of the music. Jeordie was out at the DT premiere so obviously he's still in the inner circle. While Dave is likely busy with Jane's stuff, he would be an amazing addition to the project.

I still maintain HTDA would be a great opening act/co-headline for Maynard's Puscifer show. Watching TR go off on the keyboard while MQ wails away? They would be the perfect compliment to Maynard's drinking wine appreciate art vibe, Carina Round not withstanding.

Atticus was credited as the bassist for the EP/band overall in addition to the programming stuff too, wasn't he?

sheepdean
12-13-2011, 07:18 PM
The liner notes don't give instrumentation details, but in one of the HTDA promos, he's playing bass. I think it's safe to say he's bassist/programmer/synth for the band, Trent is synth/guitar/synth/piano/synth and Q is keyboards/swarmatron/vocals.
Which means either drum machines, or live band will need at least one more person.

AgentofChaos
12-14-2011, 05:53 AM
I have full confidence in Atticus' bass playing abilities, however I figured bringing in a full time bassist would free him up to do other things. I mean a lot of the songs are bass heavy, so I don't see how he going to be triggering a ton of effects, drums, and sythns and such while being completely focused on the riffs. Just didn't want to overload him, but I didn't think about Q being able to do a ton of that stuff while singing though, so that might ease his load a bit and make it more manageable.

Huge second to the SONOIO opening act.

Now that a tour is imminent, let's do some more speculating. My guesses:

The tour will start sometime in the next 3 to 6 months

It will last about a month hitting about 20 U.S. cities; If all goes well musically, financially, and family wise additional touring will be considered (U.S. only)

The live band will consist of a 4th and possibly 5th member to play drums (Josh Freese? Illan Rubin?) and/or bass/syth (JMJ?)

They will play tracks from Ghosts I-IV, The Social Network, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo; they won't play any additional NIN tracks

The setlist will not change much from night to night


What does everyone else think?

What does everyone else think?Tour will probably be bigger than just 20 cities, they might hit a few states more than once. I doubt they'll have a live drummer though, unless the LP has a totally new direction - a drum machine can handle all of that, or a decent synth player.
I hope the live shows will have some kind of projection for visuals, nothing on the scale of LITS, but Rob is so fucking good at that shit.

As for anything by NIN, I really doubt it, even Ghosts. Although I'll pay to fly over there if they play La Mer with vocals, or Illum Tangendo

gorast
06-02-2012, 06:50 PM
I think if they were to play any live NIN (which they won't, of course), it'd only be stuff that Mariqueen can sing, like, as sheepdean said, La Mer with vocals or A Warm Place (illum tangendo), maybe some instrumental stuff. But Trent seems really adamant about distinguishing the two, so I doubt we'll hear any NIN from them.

I bet they'll do a few live shows around LA in the Fall/Winter around the release of this EP to test the waters first.
I honestly can't see a full fledged 30-40 city tour for this project. I can see maybe him doing a mini west coast and mini east coast tour maybe less than 10 shows, but that's about it.

They'll probably do some spring/summer festivals though, that's always a good starting point for new bands to get their music out to as many people as possible, so I agree they'll probably make an appearance at Cochella and probably Lollapalooza if there is one.

Based on Rob's comment on twitter ("We're viewing this as more of a collective than a band. I'm primarily visuals but it'll make more sense live."), I think you guys might be surprised by how much of the U.S. this tour will cover and they might even tour Europe. I don't think they are coming up with a huge visual concept just so they can play a couple of shows around LA. And lets face it, touring is still a great way for artists to bring in cash. Also, I'm not sure TR was as tired of touring in general as he was tired of playing NIN songs; playing HTDA in a different format might be very exciting to him and the rest of the crew. Plenty of artists figure out ways to tour for half a year when they have kids so I don't see that being an issue like mosts do.

At most, I think they will do two U.S legs and one European leg. At the least, I think they will do one full U.S. leg.

Is 3 members enough for a live show? I'd say no, respectfully. Will they use live percussion or will it all be programmed? MQ & TR can handle vocals & synth simultaneously.

I can't imagine how some songs would be played live with only 3 members. I.E. who the hell will play the bass guitar & perc for Fur Lined?


http://youtu.be/p4uX1O6vrLQ


Fur Lined

Outro = Guitar, Bass, Percussion, Synth #1, Synth #2, Vocals

A Drowning

Outro = Guitar, (Bass? Arp?), Percussion, Piano, Synth, Vocals,

Parasite

Outro = Bass, Guitar, Synth #1, Synth #2(?), Vocals TR/MQ, Percussion

The Believers

Percussion, Xylophone, A Stringed instrument (?), Synth, Sound effects/mod, Vocals MQ/TR etc...



In a way, I hope they avoid analog (live) percussion; maybe an electronic kit. But who would be designated drummer?

Either way, for a more live feeling I hope there is a lot of hands on instruments & less programming I hope they pull in a 4th body. Give Rob a shot!



Did I mention that I can play bass, double bass, guitar, piano & synths? I'm good with programming too ;) And plz consider Toronto.

sheepdean
09-23-2012, 11:34 AM
Mariqueen can play guitar/synth and of course, lead vocals
Trent is most likely on lead synth/piano duty, backing vocals and sometimes guitar
Atticus is a bassist and probably drum machine, what with his long history in that area
Rob is iPhone5

3 band members is probably not that hard, but if they do bring in another person, it'll be like NIN and they won't be a band member, just someone needed for the live experience.

Unrelated: They should get Claudia Sarne in for a live duet, so it's a) a fully family band and b) two fucking awesome female vocalists.

I hope they don't tour with a drum machine, that'd be pretty lame in my opinion. Just get Josh Freese. He's practically a member of every band in existence anyway.

Also, I have a feeling that in the future, probably 10 years down the line, Trent will probably say "Fuck it" and mash both NIN tours and HTDA tours together.

I know what you're saying, but you're going to end up with an exhausted Trent for one of the sets, and probably 90% of the ticket sales going to people who only like or know NIN, probably leaving for HTDA's set (Dissonance tour anyone?). Just, no.

10 years in the future is quite a long time for HTDA to become more well known. Also, I think Trent was to do it that way, he'd simply make it the length of a regular NIN show, but split the difference between the two. I'm only thinking it because I think Trent would find it easier to kill two birds with one stone, rather than dedicating a lot of his time touring two bands separately.

So, Mariqueen and Atticus are meant to tag along to play 45 minute sets? No, that is a bad idea for all involved, HTDA should tour, and, if NIN tours again, NIN can do that in HTDA downtime - during recording etc.

gorast
09-25-2012, 03:30 PM
If HTDA really takes off I highly doubt that NIN will tour more than once every five or ten years afterward. Trent's pushing 50, he's in great shape still but there's no need for him to tour two bands separately, and it seems increasingly clear to me that HTDA is his main thing, with NIN being at the back of his mind.

I missed out on seeing NIN tour, but at this point, I'd rather see HTDA. Maybe further on down the line, if/when HTDA becomes really well-known, Trent could slip one or two NIN songs in, most likely instrumentals. But I'd be totally satisfied if he didn't.

Are we still clinging to the idea that they'll open with festivals? The sound is simply not festival-friendly, at least not the big ones, I feel the Reznor name and the Oscar subtitle should bring enough people for small venues from the get-go.

I think the radius clause might rule out an LA date around that time frame. If you can make it to San Francisco or Las Vegas, those would be the most likely cities for shows around April 12/April 19.

Seems odd to me, after all the emphasis on Rob as a fourth member, and his comments about how his role would become more clear in live shows... to think that there will only be (what sounds like) a handful of club shows. I wonder if this is a test run, sort of like how they scheduled With Teeth clubs shows to partly see what the demand would be like.

Deadpool
02-08-2013, 07:57 PM
Well, I don't think there's a lot of concrete evidence that HTDA won't do more than Coachella and a few intimate shows. A lot of the NIN live talk is still very speculative, is it not? I could definitely see the inverse of the Wave Goodbye tour for Destroy Angels' live schedule: start with small club gigs and work up to a much more thorough national tour that focuses on bigger, arena-like venues.

That national tour could even end up being a NIN headline tour with HTDA opening (if it isn't too bold to say). That being said, I really do hope HTDA play a decent amount of shows as the headliner since I think they deserve it. As awesome as it would be, I can't help but think a NIN tour in 2013 would undermine How To Destroy Angels - this being the year of their live debut and first LP. I guess we'll see what happens.

I'm very much hoping for an NYC show being announced next week!

somewhat_
02-08-2013, 08:13 PM
I guess this will rule out a Detroit show. The best I can hope for is Chicago.

Although I was starting to believe HTDA would only play Coachella and then open for NIN later in they year, the fact that these will be a limited number of shows (warm up shows?) only adds to my speculation HTDA will be opening for that other band late in the summer.


Edit: Also, there won't be an LA show for the dates being announced next week unless Coachella didn't make HTDA sign the radius clause.

Presideo
02-08-2013, 08:42 PM

Agreed. They've also never worked with each other on stage together so there will likely be some kinks needed to be worked out before they plan anything major. Also, I'm sure Trent's gotta be apprehensive about doing any major touring. The whole reason he stopped touring with NIN was because he lost the love/mystique of performing live on a constant basis.

WorzelG
02-09-2013, 03:19 AM
I'm probably being hopelessly optimistic here thinking about a London show - but when everyone started mentioning the With Teeth shows, NIN came out to play the Astoria in London before most of the US and it was a select 2 dates then back to America, hmm, I think it is possible though unlikely. Also since they've made an effort to be more international with a record label, seems like a wasted opportunity to then just play a few shows in the US

I wouldn't expect them to sell out within a few seconds like a NIN intimate show would, but at the same time I'm not going to hop on the internet an hour after the sale begins and expect tickets to still be available. You have to keep in mind, a show in NYC will be attracting a lot of people outside of the New York market as well. So even though it's not NIN, it is TR and I'm sure his draw can sell 2,000 or 3,000 tickets pretty damn fast.

Hello all -

I figured I would share a little info with everyone regarding a possible NIN tour. Nothing is set in stone, but I'll just say that a NIN fan presale ticketing demo site has recently been created (I have seen it for myself). It's fully functional and lists three 2013 tour dates for testing purposes. It even lists details such as - your name will be custom printed on the ticket, will be held at will call, and that you and your guest will be wrist-banded and escorted immediately into the venue (in the interest of keeping tickets in the hands of our fans). Also, a separate page for How To Destroy Angels has recently been created as well.

Trust me, I was quite shocked by this. I was at the 2009 Bowery show and thought that was it. Then again, dozens of bands have called it quits, only to reunite down the road.

Again, this is speculation on my part, with evidence showing that (I can only assume) someone from the band/mgmt is working with this popular ticket presale company for a possible tour.

I will say this - These pages are created as demos, and I have yet to come across one that didn't eventually go live. But then again, the demo could have been ordered just in case, and ends there.

We'll see.

Well, I guess we can close the 'speculation' thread and open an actual tour thread.

I don't know why my mouse keeps liking and facepalming your posts at the same time. My bad.


I think the cat will be out of the bag once Lollapalooza is announced (mid April?). Although, really, the cat has already been peeking his head out of the bag a few times already ;)

Hmmm... might be going to Lollapalooza then if more than a few of these rumored bands turn out to be true...

‏@trent_reznor (https://twitter.com/trent_reznor) HTDA is playing a handful of shows (so far) in addition to Coachella.

I think they know there will be more shows.




@trent_reznor (https://twitter.com/trent_reznor)
More info on those shows tomorrow. Big news coming next week (for real this time).

Shit, maybe they aren't waiting until April to drop the NIN tour bomb. Maybe it will be next week. Obviously, they won't announce HTDA will be opening the shows until later on. I can't imagine they would want to negatively effect ticket sales for the HTDA intimate shows.

Of course, they might not be opening for NIN and could just be playing shows around NIN's tour schedule?

If it is NIN shows, then NIN will be playing in later months, why can't people accept that a band can do a headline tour without going platinum? Hell I've seen bands that have less music released than HTDA playing pretty large venues.

But yeah, kinda bummed that it's all America, but I'm not surprised. At least they're playing at all, so there's room for international gigs.

I'm not stating what they can or can't do, I'm simply speculating on what they are planning on doing.

I told my buddy who I went to most of my 14 NIN shows with about the 4/27 show in Boston. He excitedly told his wife about it. As he was telling her, it dawned on him that 4/27 is their 10th wedding anniversary. Oops...

Playing New Jersey on my motherfucking birthday!!! Talk about fate, I'll be there regardless, or NYC is just as good too, but I'm loving it right now, hopefully tix are decently manageable to get

You nailed this one on the head. Damn!
Toronto straight on my birthday! I might make the trip .. who knows.

Definitely make the trip. Tics are going to be really hard to come by. We get NIN fans from all across ON and the Buffalo area. Always a great show.

I saw NIN twice in Toronto and once in Ottawa. Might as well go see HDTA. What do you think the venue will be? Kool Haus?

Canuckle
02-20-2013, 07:58 PM
Checked Kool Haus, Guvernment and Sound Academy sites and all have no shows that evening. Will be between Kool Haus and SA, unless they go much smaller or bigger then I assume.

Desperate international pointless live specualtion. TV On the Radio are curating All Tomorrows Parties in UK May 10th-12th. More artists to be announced soon. US Tour April,..... maybe 5-8 Europe shows May???? Trent gets on well with TV on the Radio guys they toured with NIN. possibilities??? HTDA would to my mind fit in well at the All Tomorrows Parties festival.
Cool shows have been announced either way. just fuckin come to uk bitch plz.

What about NIN will be touring with some other nonsense crap band that nobody cares about, can we believe that?

The Montclair, NJ venue is less than a MILE from my front door. I damn near hyperventilated! If it was NIN....I might be in the hospital right now. (I'm 35, and these announcement's instantly turn me 18 again!)

I didn't even think about the big news being opening for another band, it seemed kinda stated to be a NIN tour. Would be cool for them to get a world tour on a piggyback...

Maybe it's both (DP followed by NIN). The blog says "There are some other announcements coming soon that will impact this (HTDA tour dates) as well…"

That would be amazing for them. The timing is certainly right. And they are labelmates.

It'd be amazing to have How to Destroy Angels tour with Dillinger Escape Plan (they're releasing an album in April). Greg Puciato said that he has been recently inspired by "electronic" music, and y'all remember DEP being special guests during the Wave Goodbye tour...I like to think that the average DEP fan is not the average metal fan, and would be more open to other things. I'm aware that this would be an extreme pairing, but I would be in seventh heaven if it were to happen.

If that happened, then they'd have to do some Error songs

Dammit - I'm all excited now at maybe seeing HTDA without even having to lift a presale finger. But even if they do support DM it may not be in all countries. got to assume the worst

I adore that Montclair, NJ venue (The Wellmont Theater) for that same reason of close proximity and lack of NYC-travel-stress. The difference is I'm 35 minutes away and you're less than a mile! Can't wait!!!

Nine Inch Nails with DEP sure. On the other hand, I'm not sure how DEP fans would respond to HDTA. Doesn't sound like a right combo.

Although I don't want to jinx myself with tickets, I fully plan on being at the Wellmont, will be interesting to see if the NYC date is general admission at T5 or Hammerstein or maybe the whole tour is theaters and they do the Beacon

Well, a few summers ago I made the trip from MN to Chicago 3 times to see NIN, might as well do it again.

jessamineny
02-21-2013, 12:18 PM
I would bet it's T5, since it's a Bowery venue (as is Wellmont).

And, yeah, I don't really see the DEP/HTDA synergy. If they're going to pair with an artist, it needs to be with someone whose fan base they could naturally poach.

jrdsctt
02-21-2013, 12:21 PM
I am gonna guess they are playing the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. During Waves Goodbye when they were playing at "smaller intimate venues" that is where they played. They also played the Charter One Pavilion during the first leg of the Waves Goodbye tour, but April might still be a bit cold for that.

Its a seated venue, btw.

Not that I'm necessarily planning on hitting both the NJ and the NYC show, but I'm hoping the NYC venue is Hammerstein since that's also seated the way the Wellmont is. Late last year Amon Tobin did a Wellmont gig followed by Hammerstein so we'll see!
