I didn't know that and that shit sucked. I bought my tickets through Ticketmaster months earlier.

It was a weird thing. Do you go to this venue a lot ? I’ve gone there all my life and will call was always on the left side of the venue. That was the main entrance. There’s another entrance on the other side of the venue and the fan club tickets were there. I’ll never forget standing outside while nin started playing. I was like nooooooooooo!

I think that was the last time I went to that venue. I don't go to a lot of shows. I've seen NIN twice at the Lakewood Amphitheater in 2006 and 2009 plus Pearl Jam in 2003, the Cure in 2000, and some of Lollapalooza '95. I never had problems with that but it's just gone through so many changes in name and such. It's terrible.

THIS however is fucking gold!

I’ve seen tons of shows there. Nine inch nails at least 5 or 6 times. I don’t know where the fuck up occurred that day. 🤷♀️ it was bad but it was fine in the end.
I did get to go to the 99x backstage nin performance at Lakewood in 2006 which remains one of the coolest things to happen to me. It was me and about 11 people. They took us in a room and we sat on the floor. Trent sat at table and peter Murphy had a mic. It was broadcasted live in the radio. My friends were listening. ets was listening. Trent was really nice to me. I almost passed out. Perhaps my favorite nin memory ever. ❤️
(Off topic my parents took me to see Elton john at Lakewood in 1990. My first real concert.)

Similar situation here. My peak Jane's fandom was a while after yours, but at some point I lost most of my interest almost overnight, like a lightswitch was flipped. Ritual De Lo Habitual was my very favourite album a few years ago, but now the hooks just don't work like they used to. Very strange.

Didn’t a vast majority of pre-sale fans get screwed out of seeing the first few NIN songs due to the fuck up? Correct me if I’m wrong with that. I think Trent went on social media in a future attempt to “make things right” but never followed up on it.
Administrator
He followed up. He was true to his word. It was really cool. People love to think he’s an asshole but he’s has a good heart and connects with so many fans. There’s tons of experiences we’ve heard about but I bet he does way more for his fans than we’ll ever know.

Oh, god- I never meant that! Trent definitely is one of the better musicians that connects to his fans. I was more active on the NIN dot com forum at the time and months went by without him following up on his word about “making the situation right” IIRC (ie: people not happy about it or a response from the NIN camp). As far as I recall he just let the situation slide by. What did happen as far as a follow up with that Atlanta fiasco?...
Administrator
I didn’t think you meant that. I feel like, in general, his angry rocker persona of the past and his public feuds might shape the idea for casual or non fans that he’s callous and uncaring. Most fans know he’s a softee.
They told us Atlanta kids not to post about it online and as far as I know, no one has. I don’t know why. But I will tell you they went out of their way. There was no obligation to do that. He made it happen. I will never forget.

This radio silence from the band is killing me. When will you take my money, Trent?
I'm ready for them reissues!

Just noticed, in the chorus of In This Twilight : "We can find a better place" / in The Background World : "There is no better place"

"While I'm Still Here" is fucking great.
For the record (heh), I'd absolutely pay $40 and wait 6 months again for Still on vinyl. No shame.

Robin Fincks' legs are hilarious.
And All That Could Have Been is an extremely apt title for the live album, as it could have been so much better. No Somewhat Damaged, Even Deeper, The Way Out is Through, to name a couple of reasons.
The Downward Spiral live is a beast of a song. (Insofar as I can know that from youtube videos)

It really sucks that it wasn't included with the proshot footage on Closure. They used all the songs around it from the show (Eraser/Hurt/Wish) but cut the end of Hurt right as TDS is starting. Bizarre decision, considering it's the focal point of the show with the scrim filling with blood and dropping – I assume someone wasn't happy with the footage they got.

Can confirm it is awesome.

One of my absolute favorite albums of any artist. I'd wait a YEAR if it meant getting Still

I have trouble spending money on myself for the most part. I got my tax refund & splurged a little this morning. Ordered a "ghost trees" shirt & a zip up hoodie. I bought a shirt & hat @ the Vegas show & was pretty happy with the quality & design. A nice belated birthday (2 weeks ago) present to myself.

Got a picture of the hat you can share? I've been asking for one for months but nobody cares about hats, just vinyl these days. I'm trying not to spend money either so I want to see a picture first...I have trouble spending money on myself for the most part. I got my tax refund & splurged a little this morning.

Ruiner is the greatest song of all time

While I'm not the biggest fan of the suggested idea of a catalogue retcon where everything is somehow tied into Year Zero, it's interesting reading the full lyrics to The New Flesh and thinking about Opal. "The blackest eyes", indeed.

I can take it
Sideways
Sometimes
Some things
Feel like
I'm on the other side
Waves
Of every feeling ever felt
…screaming

Hold it close
(So) I can taste it

I've watched this scene a thousand times
And in my head
This is how it all begins
Yes, I am becoming
And this is how it all begins
What did you expect?
This is not an exit
This has begun

I can almost see
The blackest eyes
The new flesh
A new disguise
…Welcoming…
Please

Give it to me
I can take it
Give it to me
I can take it
I've become [alive]

It's this one. Only thing not wild about is plastic tabs for sizing but other than that is fine. Looks like sold out though.

I always took the lyrics to be (more or less) about heroin.

Well yes, it and almost everything prior to Year Zero was written in TR's journal entry style. Hence why I mentioned not being a fan of the catalogue retcon. But it is an intriguing parallel nonetheless.

I am looking for a real picture of the hat, the one on the NIN store has a Photoshopped logo on it. I want to see how the embroidered logo turned out, is it too big, too small, wonky looking (I've had bad luck with embroidered NIN logos on clothing items in the past...
