The live performances of Reptile are what really drove that song home for me. It was especially awesome in Orlando with Gary Numan. It used to be one of my take it or leave it songs on TDS, now it's one of my favorites out of all albums.
I'm really hoping Tension gets the AATCHB treatment with both a video and audio release. I was pretty disappointed not to have an official CD counterpart to BYIT. Tension on Blu-ray would be mind-blowing.
Reptile is a dirty goddamn song live. I likey.
This will always be my favorite version of Reptile.
The Eater Of Dreams, The Becoming and Please were all reportedly played at the rehearsal show:

Y THEY NO BEEN PLAYED LIVE YET?!
Because 20 shows later this setlist smells fake even more than it did back then
This still seems to be my most favorite version of Sanctified being performed live.
And this one.

So I know I haven't been on here lately, but I just watched All Time Low from last night.
It was amazing. I really need them to announce UK dates NOW.
Also saw Spoiler: The Love In The World and got goosebumps. Yeaaaah. Pretty sure it's in my top three favourite NIN tracks.
I am a hopeless dreamer in thinking that a Tension 2014 tour could happen with second market US dates?
Nope. More than one member of the road crew has reportedly been heard saying that the band will be back in the States in the summer.
I just noticed that Barack Obama is following Trent Reznor on Twitter. That's so cool. (Yeah, that's a bit fanboyish of me, but still.) And I wasn't really on Twitter that much, so I would've definitely been way out of the loop if he was following him for quite while already. I also saw Queen, Weird Al, and Dave Coulier following him too. I actually thought John Stamos would've been the one to follow him.
We finally get a chance to hear soundboard audio of VMOE, aaand they cut out my favorite part of the entire song. ("An effigy so wondrous to behold, Statements so profound, A place to bury everything I did, and burn it to the ground")
I'm sure it mainly had to do with time constraints, I was just jacked to hear it. ;P Either way, I'm just glad they got some exposure there.
Whoa, I'm two months late to state this and counting, but when Trent Reznor said that Hesitation Marks was $10.00 or go fuck yourself, I thought the only way for that to be actually possible was if Hesitation Marks was at least $5.99 to $7.99 in stores so that you wouldn't have to use 1 cent more than a $10.00 bill when taxed. I even get that I wasn't supposed to take it that literally, but it always stuck with me when I bought Hesitation Marks for myself and a friend.
It was a normal price, but in actuality, I spent at least $12.00 the first time, and $13.00 the next time I got it. (But then again it was Best Buy, and most people here seemed to not be a fan of Best Buy due to bad pricing.) The deluxe version of Hesitation Marks was $20.99 or $21.99, which is a very similar price that The Fragile used to be in most stores. The Fragile is thankfully around $16.99 to $19.99 these days. However, Best Buy always seemed to have The Fragile at $24.99. And depending on the store, even The Slip costs around $20.99 or $21.99, but at least the bonus DVD made up for it.

To see Nine Inch Nails perform Pretty Hate Machine, and then Broken afterwards, would be one of the greatest highlights of my life, ever. When both releases are put together, the amount of songs are also the length of a typical set-list.

I personally think this is the best tour nin has done as far as music. This band seems like they are capable of anything.
Not that it ever left my mind entirely, but I wonder what became of the Hesitation Marks game somebody intended to make here.
My fav live version is the one where TR gets pissed and throws guitar, then throws mic stand, then throws mic after giving a nice angry shout. And not missing a beat as far as the song goes. From with teeth tour i believe. Its so perfect. I used to watch it at least once a week. You can find it if you do a search of 'nin reptile trent pissed'. It happens during the first chorus i believe.
I haven't re listened to hesitation marks after my first 1-2 attempts, and the album has pretty my broken my NIN relistening streak. So weird given where I was in the run up to release. Hey ho. Still hoping on uk dates.
Handbrake can't see Reptile on disc 2 of And All That Could Have Been. I want to rip to my computer!! Dammit. Any solutions? Cheers
After being so immersed in The NIN Hotline and Echoing the Sound, it's hard for me to picture being a fan of Nine Inch Nails and not knowing about those sites. I swear, it's like I became a messenger for both sites every time I meet a NIN fan that has never heard of both, or even one or the other. Did a lot of you also meet NIN fans that had no idea The NIN Hotline and ETS ever existed? (I'm not trying to say that it makes you better fan, but I love having this experience that comes with it, as well as getting to chat with other NIN fans, when I barely know any in real life, that I just want to share it with as many NIN fans as possible when I hear that they've never heard of both sites.)
