Woodstock performance was faked on the moon. Think about it!
bastard from blue city
this is problematic for sure, but the biggest problem is that it tries very hard but never gets funny for real. the reason you know it's trolling is precisely because it isn't actually funny.
Down, but not out.
It also seems like the same exact thing can be said about 4chan too. Anyway, I've often thought that the humor of both sites wouldn't really fly well on ETS most of the time anyway.
I have also seen an article of Trent Reznor on Encyclopedia Dramatica, but to my surprise, saw no separate article on Nine Inch Nails. I thought the "band" itself would've also been spoofed to hell too, as they also have articles on actual bands like Radiohead and Slipknot for instance.

Regarding the TR/Romanek thing. Could it be possible Romanek is directing the Tension DVD?
Active Member
That would have been directed the night it was filmed, and I'm pretty sure (though not certain) the guy who did that is known. I kinda remember some guy saying he had directed the Tension stuff, it's the same guy who stated it was 4 shows....or 2? My memory is very fuzzy on the whole thing

Happy Birthday to Strobe Light!
Spinning this album today for the first time in months. Sounds damn fresh.

It's Kerry Asmussen.

Actually the guy said he only directed 2 of the 4 shows involved
Down, but not out.
The fart noises on Echoing the Sound on April Fools' Day remind me of Things Falling Apart, because of the sound made on the 0:06 mark of The Wretched (Version) and the 1:56 mark of The Frail (Version). I'd imagine those sounds would go well when mixed in fart noises too, even though that part on The Frail (Version) already sounds like actual farts.
Down, but not out.
And well, Things Falling Afart?
All that farting also reminded me of this particular article from The Meathead Perspective as well.

That explains it. The sounds came on at work but I thought they came from one of the other three dozen tabs I had open... My colleague was too polite to ask anything and I felt I'd make it worse by trying to explain from where they came.

^^^^Wow! That would had been hilarious if I had the speakers up on the desktop in the classroom! I think I will do that 3rd hour.

This must be where my confusion on how many shows there were came from
Squeal like a pig.
Um, so if you're twiddling your thumbs, you could join me in annotating the crap out of NIN on Genius.com
Go nuts.
edit: Oh my god, please help, some of these interpretations are so wrong, it's killing me.

Okay, you tagged me.
I'm here now. I don't get it.
Exactly WHAT part of this goofy nonsense am I supposed to give a fuck about?
o_O
Well, w/e.
Since I'm here anyway...
The most high I'VE ever been listening to Fixed (and OMFG you don't even know how hard I've tried to top it) was back in '97 when Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released in theaters in the "Special Edition" format.
I'd done my best to arrange a get-together with five of my pals from the middle-of-nowhere descending that night upon the suburban college town I lived near, expecting to drop like omfg the strongest, double-dipped, laser-printed, perforated, fucking BADASS acid in the world on the way to see the movie together. Having spent all my limited funds procuring the acid for everyone, however, I'd failed to buy tickets for the movie premiere itself, which I hadn't realized until that night was pretty much sold out worldwide weeks in advance. D'oh!
So, after much bartering with the manager since we were underage, we got a cheap-o motel for the night instead and I brought my boombox and a couple CDs I thought would be OMFGKILLER to hear while tripping. We all double-dosed the double-dipped hits (Ax4, w00t!) and settled in while I started playing D.J./trip-guide.
One of the CDs I brought was Troublegum by Therapy?, which btw...OMFG ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER. It's like 14 1/2 songs long but barely over half-an-hour long so we were only just realllllly getting there towards the end of it. But everyone was OF COURSE digging on it HARD so I threw in the band's pretty obscure and kinda hard-to-find import single/E.P. I'd recently gotten annnnnd shit started going haywire. One of Therapy's big singles was called "Die Laughing," so they had a CD-single for it with a couple awesome live/b-side bonus tracks packaged in a case that actually fucking laughed at you when you opened it.
For example...
In my zeal to blow everyone's mind with the awesome bonus tracks, I probably kinda oversold the awesomeness of the packaging, and I inadvertently opened the (extremely overpriced and hard-to-replace) case wide enough that it wouldn't stop laughing. Which was mostly fine, except we were ALL kinda starting to COMPLETELY lose it by then, and even after we shoved it between the mattress and bed frame we could still hear it laughing at us between songs. Which I personally thought was FUCKING AWESOME but everyone else pretty much wanted to kill me for, lol.
So I tossed the damned thing in the bathtub, shut the door, and put Fixed on instead.
OMFG.
I'd recently found some primitive website that quoted all the Timothy Leary excerpts and shit sampled on there and I was making sure everyone knew exactly wtf they where hearing. Again, I was OMFG TOTALLY INTO IT and everyone else was pretty much FREAKING THE FUCK OUT, lol. Poor kids! When the whole E.P. built its way up to the INSANELY frenetic crescendo of "Fist Fuck" and finally got to the Showboat sample before going completely apeshit at the end, all of a sudden one of my pals got sick from the intensity of it all and had to run into the bathroom to puke.
We gave them some space for a few minutes until the CD ended. When we went to check in on them, there they were curled-up on the floor and practically catatonic with fear from the reverberating sound of the laughing CD case we all forgot was in there with them in the echo-chamber of the bathtub, omfglololol.
XD
So they took care of THEM while I went outside and threw the CD case in the trunk of the car. A few minutes later someone went to the car for smokes and said they could hear someone laughing from inside the trunk from across the lot and that people were looking at them funny, and since it was all kinda my fault and NONE OF US was in ANY position to explain ourselves to anyone, I just said FUCK IT and ripped the damn CD case in half to be done with it all finally.
The poor bathroom kid eventually recovered but this whole other guy who was there went batshit crazy and has been completely fucked in the head ever since, but he kinda was already before that anyway (funny how that works!) and everyone else had a fucking BLAST, so who gives a fuck, it's w/e and we'll just chalk that one up as a learning experience but mostly an EPIC FUCKING WIN, lol.
And THAT, my friend, is how you listen to Fixed high.
Oh, and Manson kicks ass, btw.

Hello forumers. A fellow member asked this question on the questions forum but people haven't replied yet. Anyone have the answer to this?
"Speaking of which (Year Zero period), does anyone know where THE BEST resource documenting ALL the hidden website stuff (content/meaning/how it was found/etc.) might be? I know there were several different compilation-websites put together for that purpose at the time and pretty quickly afterward, I'm just looking for opinions (and links? w00t) regarding whichever sites have been deemed most comprehensive for the full picture and organization/ease-of-browsing."
And while we're on that note...wasn't ets (or someone here once upon a time) the spearhead of some effort to package all that Year Zero website/concept album insanity on an interactive DVD with branching menus? OMFG, I'd especiallylove to see that! Did it ever happen? Someone PLZ say YES and link me there!

I don’t know why, but I find Mr Self Destruct to be by far the most humorous song title in the nin discography.
Josh Wink was on HLAH
Are you aware he didn't even come up with it? It's another Soft Cell reference
Active Member
More humorous than Kinda I Want To? What about Big Man With A Gun? Even Deeper? *snicker*
Now I'm 0000
It's still cool anyway.
I think the Doctor meant intentionally funny.

I've been playing Piggy on a non stop loop for days now.

And I've watched Tension on youtube three times in a row...happily.

And I've listened to the entirety of All That There Ever Was three times in as many days.

I'm graduating college in May, and my school (University of North Texas) let's us design our the top of our cap. My roommate is going to put the cover of Strobelight on mine. Pretty fucking stoked for this.
edit: will post pics of progress when we start making it.

Jesus fucking Christ, I check back here after a year and literally nothing happened. I've heard more NIN from The Walking Dead, than from NIN itself.

If it won't be 3D with 2Pac and MJ digitally edited into the stage I won't accept any excuses. And of course, include the Everything MV+rehearsals. Dickhead.
Still love you though, Trent.

He's also not paying attention very well
in the last year, there's been the Australian tour with QOTSA, the Grammys debacle, and a double album of new soundtrack music.
Not to mention that trip he took to Disneyworld with Mariqueen and his kids. Actual photographic proof of TR having fun. How often do we get that?
