Having seen a ton of Beck live shows over the years, its amazing how different Justin's stage mannerisms were in NIN compared to Beck...With NIN, JMJ would stand like a statue and barely get into it. With Beck, he is running around the stage, goofing off and dancing on stage with Beck during the more upbeat songs, jumping all over the place and having the time of his life...Maybe he figured he had to be more serious with NIN

I'm sorry, did you confuse JMJ with Jeordie White?
Edit: Not even kidding. I saw 2 shows with Jeordie, and one of them, I was at the rail on his side of the stage. I took this photo which is literally how it was for most of the night:

I saw JMJ with NIN at the 02 in London the night Gary Numan joined them onstage for Metal and Cars. He was totally into it all night, he’s always seemed into it from the LITS footage, maybe it took him a while to get into it and he was less animated at the beginning ? I don’t know

I very much enjoy the live ending of The Mark Has Been Made. It feels more cathartic (as it's functioning as its own song and not a segue on an album like The Fragile), and almost more tribal, with TR's vocals soaring over. Hmmph.

yes, i was aware of this, my post was just more a comment on how awesome it would be to the main albums (PHM, TDS, TF, YZ, HM) with an official live release.
alot of us enjoy the live versions of so many of these tracks and yeah, mostly it was a wishful thinking comment from me.

I had a dream last night that I walked out of the record store with reissues of With teeth, YZ, The Slip, and YZR.
A dude can dream. I think the last time I saw a copy of YZR on vinyl it was around $70-80. Ehhh...
she/her/hers
i sold my original pressing (which was unplayed) a couple years ago to someone on here (can't remember who) because i never really got into the album. literally a week after i sold it, i listened to it (digitally) and realized i liked it more than i thought. no regerts, right? :/ needless to say i'm glad it's getting the DE treatment.
Active Member
Wait, YZR IS getting a DE release?? I thought my brain made that part up.
I was kinda the same way, though! Sans owning a vinyl copy. It took a long time for that album to warm up to me, but now even the "Me, I'm Not" remix occasionally gets some play. I don't think there's a remix on there that I just DON'T like.

It's only Year Zero that's getting the deluxe vinyl treatment.

my ex gf has an original 1989 vinyl pressing of Pretty Hate Machine...mint condition...should have stolen it from her after we broke up
grrr. woof.
i had one, too. and i paid like ten bucks for it brand new at a tiny record shop in boise in 1997. but i played the shit out of it on this giant 1970's tv/record player/8-track/radio behemoth. it was the size of a tank, but sounded fucking awesome. i think i sold it for a dime bag, can't remember.
hindsight, y'all.

the only nin thing i ever sold, and i regret to this day, was my white fragility 2.0 tour shirt
grrr. woof.
i sold my entire collection in one giant ebay sale for pennies on the dollar about ten years ago when i was buying a house. i needed to simplify (quickly) and every penny counted, but i got screwed. every halo up to that point, including several duplicates (two of all three witt singles, among MANY). tour booklets, vhs bootlegs (broken, an early video collection, a very early show in dallas), phm/broken/tds/tf/MULTIPLE cassette singles, several magazines ... ugh, just thinking about this makes me sick. the guy who won the auction was like "hey, i can tell you are a big fan and i plan on flipping things individually and will pay it forward with you."
of course i never heard from him. you on here somewhere, dude? :/
"it's just stuff," i said to myself. sigh.

I bought that one and the "Where The Fuck Were You?" tour shirt at the UIC Pavilion show. Ended up leaving the white one underneath my seat (section 108, still remember).
I've never sold anything NIN-related, but I have given stuff away. I hope to never have to sell, to be honest.

Never sold anything, but some of the items in my collection I wish I had kept in better condition. Most of the CDs I own (including some rare bootlegs/imports) I kept in a big CD wallet and they got scratched up, ink worn off, disc rot, etc. A (very clumsy) friend of mine stepped on the case for Closure when it was sitting on the floor by the TV without the tapes inside of it, so that got a little ripped. I have a German import of The Fragile vinyl (with Nothing logos on the LP sleeves) that has never been played, but has some shelf wear even though it's been in a box the entire time I've owned it.

Listening to iPod on random tonight and somehow "Find My Way" on right after Phil Collins' 1998 cover of "True Colors" works.

I watched an onstage vid of "I'm Afraid of Americans" from Toronto 2009 today. 4 piece band. Sounded pretty f'n good to me. Said NIN opened for Jane's Addiction that show. What a mismatch that had to be! Always found Jane's to be extremely overrated, in particular Perry Farrell. I would've left after NIN. The only time I saw Jane's when they were like good was Lollapalooza 1 (we didn't get NIN here). Think the level of "attitude adjustment" had something to do with that. Every other time I've seen them they've been mediocre to terrible. Another time Pixies circa Doolittle (Primus 3rd bill) utterly destroyed Jane's. It wasn't even close. I got sidetracked. Even in 2009, WTF were promoters thinking not having NIN headline over Jane's? Ilan Rubin is totally mighty in this clip. He's become 1 of my favorite drummers & Robin is awesome, too.

When I went to Jones Beach stop of the NINJA tour, I was with several people and we all left after NIN finished before Janes Addiction came on. We were there for NIN.
Active Member
Trent had NIN "open" for Jane's on that tour strictly out of respect for the band, as he is a huge fan. No other reason. Everyone knew who the real headliner was, and who the majority of fans were there to see.
Stubby Member
I stayed and watch Jane's Addiction, they were great but in hindsight NIN was fucking awesome, the set-lists NIN did during the NINJA tour were great they were pulling out songs I never thought they would play. I wish (in future tours) that Trent would do more unexpected shows like the NINJA tour, with unpredictable set-lists.
Throbbing Member
Your loss! I thought the skit was funny (especially because I live through it sometimes). Nice catch on the fox.

Went to the London, UK show and Jane's Addiction played before NIN. Not being a fan of the band, it was incredibly tedious to have to stand through their set. More than that, it was unmemorable. I can recall most gigs I've been to, but not that one. The only thing that does come to mind was how bored I was. Hopefully it never happens again.
Also the NINJA acronym is embarrassing.

JA is a band I loved mid 90s but I just can't dig anymore. Might be all the personalities involved. And yes NINJA is a little ridiculous as an acronym.

I enjoyed the show I went to in Atlanta though I'm baffled into what Perry was using for his vocals though I was happy to see the original line-up. NIN was better of course.
Jane's Addiction from 1986-1991 is the band that I want to remember. What they've become since Strays is a totally different band.

That Atlanta show was when the fan club tickets got fucked up. They said go to will call but the tickets were on the other side of venue.
