    YES! I wish they were put on as bonus videos on the Blu-ray. Toss in Pinion intro as well.

    My disappointing moment was when Trent associated himself with PETA. I would have been fine if it was another organization, but not PETA those bunch of cuntrags.

    No, it's the one that made me realize the 'questionable' fringe had been sent into the realms of history. I always liked that fringe.

    I get disappointed every time I hear the first notes Wish, MOTP, THTF or HLAH. A NIN gig without any of these would be perfect for me.
    I'm willing to guess you live in a region that doesn't spend 9 years without getting a NIN gig...

    RE: This current tour that everyone is so disappointed in. Get over it, I am loving all the set lists because I could care less about deep cuts. I have been to so many shows since the beginning of NIN that i have pretty much seen everything I have ever wanted to see at least once but is there a song or two I wold like to see again? Of course but he plays enough of a variety that at least one of my faves is always there, Wish, for example. For the newer fans that haven't been so fortunate, sorry you were born late. If you didn't get to go to shows during the WT era through before the last hiatus that is when a lot of "deep cuts" made the rounds but even back then it wasn't enough for some people. Why not just enjoy the moment. There will come a time when NIN completely stops touring for whatever reason. Then what? You still didn't get to hear the Perfect Drug or whatever you think he should play and then you will be left with all the times you were disappointed at what was really a great show. If you are waiting for deep cuts or anything close then you are just setting yourself up and that is your problem not TR's,

    Are there some records or tours I didn't like. Sure but guess what? I didn't spend my money on them. I concentrate on the NIN music I do like and listen to that and thankfully there is enough of that.

    I was actually disappointed he took Closer out of the setlist for a while. If I were a casual fan and went to a NIN show where Closer wasn't played, I would be mad. Like it or not that song is the most associated with NIN and is actually is s really great song.

    Anyway, I for one and looking forward to the Tampa show whatever the set list is because I skipped the arena tour so I am ready for a NIN show.

    Yes I know I am privileged, having lived in Canada, France and the UK. If I lived somewhere else I'd be going wild during these songs. They're amazing songs don't get me wrong, but having seen NIN once or twice every tour since TF era, I get a little tired of these, all the more so as there are other songs I've never seen live and I'd love to. Spoilt kid I know

    I thought I was the only person that said 'cuntrag'!

    Fuck PETA.

    Agreed but my video for Ghosts 29 was probably one of the worst ever made.

    Well, South Park makes fun of PETA all the time, so there must be something really wrong with them.

    Right?

    Probably something to do with all the pets they kill.

    PETA is basically just a corporation who does little to nothing to actually help the causes that they claim to support.

    okay, okay.

    on topic, i was disappointed when htda came into existence, distracting reznor from creating something worthwhile.

    Closure. I would much much much rather have seen a full concert release than what was released.

    When end he finally released a real concert DVD, I thought the name of the DVD (and all that could have been) described that DVD quite well in comparison to closure.

    .
    Totally agree. I remember buying the double VHS tapes, way back when BEFORE there was too much Internet complaining (heh), and kept waiting for the full pro shot show to start. never happened. Only watched it in full that once.

    Not that everything's been unicorns and rainbows since but that was the first time I wanted my money back from something NIN related. To this day I don't understand the documentary style of Closure.

    feels like something Ministry/Al would do.

    yeah, Closure would be the one for me. I read all the praise on it on the nets and instantly became super interested in seeing it, but after the whole thing I was like "meh".

    Comparing the slaughtering of pigs to the holocaust, as if there were no difference between the two.

    EDIT: sorry, let's get back on topic.

    I thought Morrissey was the one that did that?

    This is a very minor disappointment, but still a disappointment nonetheless. I also understand as to why and how it couldn't be.

    When I realized that the sample from Midnight Express was not on the 2010 remaster of Pretty Hate Machine on Sanctified. I just got far too used to hearing it.

    If we're gonna bring up the PHM remaster, then I was fairly disappointed that there was no real bonus content on it like there was for TDS remaster. A bonus disc with the best possible versions of Purest Feeling, MJO, etc. and then demos of other songs along with GDML, as opposed to adding it onto the main album, would've been great. I love GDML but think it really detracts from Ringfinger by replacing it as the final track; that big wave of distortion of Ringfinger is a great way to end the album and if you then listen to Broken right after, serves as a really fantastic transition into Pinion. I don't know, I've always loved that NIN has never put cover songs onto the main albums, leaving it to be purely NIN, while adding GDML as the closer leaves you not with NIN but with the We Will Rock You sample.

    i am wondering if Purest Feeling is in some weird legal hell like PHM used to be — doesn't make sense, but who knows. i'm sure PHM bonus material was left off because he hates it all, though.

    also, a Broken/Fixed remaster has been in TR's to-do list since at least 2004, so i doubt Broken was ever going to get paired with PHM.

    I didn't imply that they should add Broken on, I meant if you sit and listen from one album to the next. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

    I can't imagine Trent being all too hot on demos of any of his songs like the demo of Ruiner or Reptile, etc., but he included them on TDS. He was a hardcore perfectionist in the 90's and has always been highly critical of his own work, I'm certain there's a lot of material he no longer feels good about. He hates Kinda I Want To, but they didn't cut it from the PHM remaster.

    I know Inverse Phase discussed the copyright issues with the Purest Feeling material, but wasn't it just that there was no actual copyright?

    Yeah it's just demos so I doubt there are any copyright issues. If there is a copyright to it, it probably just belongs to Trent.
