NIN-Spotting 2014

[TheBang]

A bit late-to-the-party generic review of Seattle show:

http://seattlemusicinsider.com/2014/...heater-photos/

Some would say that review was terribly written. Many others agreed.

[ManBurning]

^^ Did that article even REVIEW the show? It seemed like it touched on everything but the show itself... "Yeah, NIN and SG played Seattle before. Yeah, Death Grips were supposed to show up but they didn't... oh and I like Rob Zombie"... WHAT!?!

How some of these people get jobs in journalism is beyond me.

Find the hidden Trent in this photo. Could this be the start of a new ARG?!?!

Well, he did not get a job in journalism. He's not even a writer by trade -- he's a fotog.

This is just some amateur local music blog (the editor-in-chief's real job is working for a newspaper, for instance) -- like zines back-in-the-day.

Even if it was the online arm of a printed publication, or a professional online-only publication, half of the people writing "reviews" these days are stringers who aren't employed by the publication. They're amateurs who are lucky to be paid anything other than a pittance to do it, unless it's for a major publication.

NIN and Trent are mentioned a couple of times in this interview, though nothing special. Good read, though, if you have the time, and the music isn't too bad either.

[elevenism]

I don't mean to keep one-upping you, but he's already done that too:

]I know... But we were talking about touring evolution. I'm talking about this sort of format in the context of a full on tour. I think it will happen because I think trent will age gracefully. I doubt he'll be screaming fist fuck into his seventies

Trent and Kobe should collaborate. I don't know what they would collaborate on, but it would probably be hilarious.

Not sure if this counts: Amanda Palmer name-drops Trent and NIN in discussing U2's new album through iTunes and things related to that: http://amandapalmer.net/blog/20140910/

This is a culinary spotting. A Kickstarter project is aiming to turn every song into a meatball (complete with recipe). For NIN we have:

Not technically a NIN-spotting, but according to Cook, it was the Beats Music experience that really convinced him to buy Beats. Kinda cool, considering that 99.9% of their profits are probably from headphones, that it's the small side project Trent was involved in that inspired such a big move.

So how involved is Trent in the whole Apple/Beats deal? Is he still on board? I haven't been following it lately...

[jessamineny]

He's still Chief Creative Officer, but working for Apple now.

Craig Ferguson mentions that he has the same birthday as Trent (among other people) on Friday's Late Late Show:

i've honestly never understood the "bro" culture that seems to exist around certain aspects of NIN. when i saw them in 2005, there were SO MANY BROS at the show, with their backwards hats and their ultra-misogyny and their spilling their beer all over me (ah, i digress...) and i don't get it. i'm not saying anyone can't enjoy any kind of music, and i'm not an elitist or a hipster that's going to get pissed off because someone else likes the band i do, but i really just don't get how people who generally seem like unintelligent jerks with no regard for anyone but other like-minded white dudes would like something with the emotional depth and complexity of NIN.

I feel like "Closer" has a lot to do with it.

("I Want To Fuck You Like An Animal" for all you bros out there.)

EDIT: Damn, @talkingnothing beat me to it.

First it was Letterman and now it's Ferguson, LOL!

Honestly, they're at just about every concert I go to- doesn't matter if it's NIN or Slayer or someone else.

I prefer to call them "doosh bags". Personally don't care what people wear (I'm not the "NIN type" myself) just don't be a drunken jack ass, and probably doesn't help when said doosh looks like he just crawled out of a frat party.

LOL! Does she not know who Trent Reznor is?

i think she wrote it that way because she's in the middle of a conversation with dr. dre...or maybe because trent said "don't mention me in your post, please"

Hahaha, the second one makes Trent seem like a bit of a grouch. "Don't mention me" and then cold shoulders her for the photo.

(speaking in a joke manner, of course)

They've been recycling that same quote for months now.

Judging from the quote recycling in your thread, that's some pot/kettle/black shit right there.
