Burning Bright: The third "and" in "break through the surface and" always gives me the chills. I love how you can hear Trent's voice get darker, deeper, and quieter before the explosion.
I just noticed two things I didn't notice before.....
There is a bass on TWOIT and that the aaaa and oooo at the end of EDIETS is the same notes as the piano in the beginning
I'm not too bummed about the lineup but it would have been cool to see Eugene from Autolux in the band playing bass.
Ok, we have a confirmed lineup. Now he needs to confirm there will be a proper tour. I don't want to have to spend hundreds and travel and stay for NYC if I can instead hit up multiple normal shows...
Dammit whenever I hear Starfuckers now, I hear Starfuckers in the pouring rain instead of Starfuckers inc
The 2:18 mark in "Deep."
It's about fucking time they play Memorabilia live.
TR+AR+AC on three synths, Me I'm Not/Vessel-style. Ilan adding in some live percussion and cymbals. Robin goes wild on guitar, and he can sing "What do your nipples look like" live, reprising his sample on the studio version.
I really do hope they bring some songs that haven't been played in a while (or ever) into the mix, as well as some possible reworkings. With Atticus on board not only as the other permanent member of the band, but as a member of the live band as well, I'm hoping he'll bring a fresh perspective to the live element and what can be accomplished with it.
Yep. Looking forward to see what they come out with, and personally I'd be pleased to see some HTDA thrown in too. Considering these are festival dates though I expect the sets will largely be made up of old favourites, but some electronics heavy reworks would be a treat.
with Trents recent love letters to The Fragile, would be killer to hear songs like "We're In This Together' and 'Into The Void' and 'Great Below" etc.....also to see a festival crowds confused reaction to these songs would be worth it as well
I think there is a pretty good chance to see and hear songs from The Fragile that haven't been played in years, for the upcoming shows and possible tour.
While we're on the topic of Fragile songs being played, I wanna hear Underneath It All, Ripe (With Decay) and ILFTJY,F live.
Yeah, that'd certainly be nice, though history seems to indicate that apart from adding some newly-released material to festival shows, Trent tends to play it pretty safe in that context. He's said in the past that he's pretty conscious of making sure his shows aren't just for the diehard NIN fans that only want to hear EP B-sides, and I think that tends to come to the fore during festivals.
Who knows, though! I'll certainly be hoping for some rarities as well.
It will most likely be the standard, festival tunes with a few new NTAE tunes...BUT how cool would it be if there's a new unreleased track?!!!
