You an vote for ten.

Yeah... I typed that before I voted. I am now exposed for the dumb ass that I am, if I wasn't already before.

Sorta NIN related. They're mentioned and it involves the Grammy nonsense.

4k, eh? Innnnnnnteresting...

I don't own anything that supports it, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see Rob and Trent publish something in that resolution (I'm sure I've got a geeky friend who will cave and buy a 4k set before too long).

When I see numbers like that I wonder (except by quantities of shows) how they really make much money (or the big money alluded to in the AB interview.) The gross number at first glance looks big but after splitting with the venue, the bands, paying for production and overhead, seems like there wouldn't be much leftover to be considered "big money." Certainly no expert, maybe someone has an idea how the numbers breakdown? I'd be curious.

Probably still more than any of us make in a few hours of work :P

A trailer for Guardians Of The Galaxy uses an edit of Love Is Not Enough. Only through part of the trailer though.

The promoter pays the bands up front, whose organizations provide running crew and back-line gear. It's on the promoters to take the risks involved with booking the shows & paying upfront costs to get venues/local crews secured. They therefore also collect the ticket gross and distribute the net profits according to prior agreements. The performers may get some kind of bonus for a strong-selling tour, but they're going to be paid regardless of how well the show sells. Bands like NIN may choose to spend that money on more complicated production — fancy backline video gear and associated crew costs — or not.

That show must have been SO SICK!
I don't know what's more depressing, knowing ICP sold 1,500 tickets to a show or knowing there were probably a lot of people bummed out because they couldn't get tickets.

I know this is from 1990 and know that Tony Hawk is already well-known as a NIN fan, but this was still a cool surprise when I was least expecting it. NIN-spotting at 7:17 in the video.

[telee.kom]

I did this 25 minutes fan-documentary about Trent Reznor and his life from the Fragile era to his Oscar winning. It's not necessarily full of new information, but I like his life story and I haven't find any document that would focus on him so I decided to make it myself.

[Charmingly Miserable]

Chris Cornell kinda gushes over Trent.

[Joy Prevention Hotline]

Chris Cornell kinda gushes over Trent.

Sounds like he’s not holding a grudge over that infamous tweet.

I think the headline is reading too much into the collaboration comment, though. I’d certainly love to see it, but given the lack of collaboration on NIN|JA and the current NIN/QOTSA thing, I’m not holding my breath.

[WorzelG]

There is actually a really entertaining Grammy discussion with Trent on a New Zealand rock radio station (only 4 mins or so long)

Just for the hell of it I wondered what TR's was, beats going to his Twitter account and scrolling all the way down...

Nine Inch Nails, QOTSA Gross Over $500k For Single Australian Show


Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age are set to continue their their rapturously received Australian co-headline tour at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena tonight and recent figures show it bodes well for their bank accounts, having made over $500,000 for a single Newcastle show.



dang.


edit - @SM Rollinger - sorry, didn't realize you already posted about it.

[Krazy]

Holy shit at those Springsteen prices (a lot!) and Imagine Dragons prices (thought they could charge more right now).

Wonder if ID is kind of a "flavor of the month" (or would that be year?) band or if they end up having staying power. Reading a little on them they're in a bit of shock about their rise, and kind of got thrown into arena band category- haven't looked into the YT for them but guessing they don't have much production for their shows and probably had to whip something together pretty fast.

Pretty snide article. It's like the author wants to be an asshole, but retracts with every negative thing he has to say. I think this tour will be awesome. Also seeing Kiss/Def Lep in Cincy (another "novelty" show, if you will)...but I can assure you I am looking forward to the NIN/SG show by a lot, and confident it will be eons better.

I won't deny that there is a definite 90s nostalgia feel to the show, but two big problems with his comparison. First, he compares to REO Speedwagon 20 years after "their last top 10 album." NIN isn't even 20 months removed from their last top ten album. And his point about fans now looking for seats instead of the edge of the pit.... he's clearly never been to this forum.

I would accuse Bill of having written the article except that it does concede that Soundgarden's last album was critically well received.

Nine Inch Nails drew from techno, industrial and house music in the '90s as bands like KMFDM and Ministry did, but had little use for hip-hop or electronic dance music.

Hooooooooooooooooly shit he has no idea what he's talking about.

The author seems to think NIN's popularity has shrunk to where they need to play the smaller venues, forgetting the did a pretty well attended tour last winter of larger stadiums. I know the article will probably be bad if they use a picture of the With Teeth era band.

[billpulsipher]

The guy who wrote it seemed pretty clueless on certain things (Soundgardens last album was not well received, and NIN drew from house music?) But the reality is, in NIN land (over here) people like to pretend its still 1994 and TR is at the top of his game. In reality, the general perception of NIN is their last great album was Fragile, and TR is past his prime. I wouldn't call them a nostalgia act, but they are definitely in the same group as a lot of other 80s/90s type bands where TR has his core audience who follow him everywhere, mostly due to past efforts (like a pearl jam, pumpkins, RATM, Depeche, Cure etc)

Around the world, the popularity isn't exactly that great. In Europe NIN have always been received lukewarm at best and obv south america could give 2 fucks about NIN. And nobody knows how well the Tension tour was attended, there were a lot of reports of shows that did not sell out. Starting to think TR took a major loss on it (hence the co headline tour charging big money for tickets)

20 Feet from Stardom is now on Netflix streaming.

Relevance: it's a documentary about backup singers, and Lisa Fischer is listed as one of the stars. (Netflix lists it as the 2014 Academy Award winner for Best Documentary Feature...just learning it exists now).

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly takes a shot at NIN/Soundgarden in its Bullseye section.

"Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour is to pot what the Nine Inch Nails/Soundgarden double bill is to Cialis."
