NIN-Spotting 2013 (Part 1/2)

[Leviathant]

Remember when we used to split these things off every month? Here's the 2012 edition (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/81-NIN-Spotting-2012). I suspect the 2013 thread will be much more active as the year progresses.

[slave2thewage]

We're In This Together is being used in trailers for some show on Sky over here. That's all I've got.

[witte]

.....I suspect the 2013 thread will be much more active as the year progresses.

Why do you think that?

[Furie_Zacharias]

Since there's supposed to be new NIN stuff popping up this year I guess.

[somewhat_]

Why do you think that?

He might be referring to NIN touring?

[scorpiusdiamond]

Right Where It Belongs used by Charlie Brooker on his 2012 Wipe programme tonight. I think he's a fan of NIN...

I think Connie Huq (his wife (seriously, Blue Peter marrying Brooker?)) is one, maybe she put him onto it.

I think she's more than she's cracked up to be, especially after seeing her on the Reality TV ep of Screenwipe, and now knowing she's a NIN fan? It's like Matt Baker being scarily and subversively political

edit: now in Spotify playlist form: http://open.spotify.com/user/charliebrooker/playlist/1cbjbEfXuZesvIYHnN9ilP (I thought he'd used more NIN before, but maybe I imagined it. I could've sworn he used some Ghosts tracks)

[sheepdean]

I think Ghosts was used in the gameshow he did about TV (I've forgotten the name, though I saw it being filmed like 5 times)

All wishful thinking aside, do you guys think NIN will tour in 2013?

And isn't it weird that the HTDA camp has gone silent (again)?

[jessamineny]

And isn't it weird that the HTDA camp has gone silent (again)?

Not really. Rob -- who I'm sure does all the social-media work -- was on a long honeymoon, and then there was Christmas and New Year's.

I know you disagreed in the other thread, but I'm starting to believe the Sound City Music Players could be the only version of NIN live this year (and that would probably just be a couple NIN songs and TR helping out with QOTSA, Foo Fighters, etc. songs). I hope I'm wrong about that. We should have a better idea on January 14 (possible coachella lineup date?) or January 18 (first SCMP show).

I somewhat agree that Trent could be a part of the Sound City show(s?), I just disagree that that's what he meant by "2013" on reddit.

I mean, HTDA is gonna go "big" some time early this year, right? It has to. Album release and tour. I think that'll keep him busy.

I've gone off-topic.

[accelestar]

Saw a movie called "Murder by Proxy" on Netflix about the rise in spree shootings in the United States. Both 999,999 and Corona Radiata were used. 999,999 was used three times, one of which was during security camera footage of some guy shooting up his workplace. Kind of felt wrong to hear NIN being used behind footage of actual murders.

He did say he was in rehearsals with more than one band. Could be that he was referring to HTDA and the Sound City show.

Wow. That was definitely not the right song for them to cover.

[eversonpoe]

i don't quite understand why a band like that would cover wish and just play it EXACTLY like NIN. i mean, i don't like hippie stoner jam bands, so i wouldn't want to hear a version of wish done in that style, but i would think their own fans would rather hear that than hear them doing a mediocre job of imitating nine inch nails.

[DigitalChaos]

decent Hurt cover. Wish the vocals were a tad louder/forceful in some spots.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyW3LopI5zM

[onthewall2983]

I actually like UMG (for a "hippie stoner jam band", they have more discipline and rigidity in their playing) but yeah, that cover sucked. The drums sounded cool, though.

[wizfan]

So, I'm watching this video and all of a sudden there's a pic of Trent holding the Oscar at 23:21. Weird.

I watched it earlier this month and noticed the same thing. Couldn't really figure out why. Since it's about gaming journalists being biased, are they referring to Academy Award judges being biased as well? Trent is a newcomer to film scores and won. Surely it can't be that. It seems that it's totally unrelated and the person who put the picture together has no idea who's on the picture. ;)

Totally agree with you on that buddy. I have a feeling a lot of their fans wouldnt even know the song. But, I will admit, I think they did a pretty good job on the cover. The guitar sounds are a little off of course, but I don't think there's really any way you can cover NIN and completely nail the guitar sounds. its just dosent happen.

My issue with that cover is the fact that it comes across as "Nine Inch Nails karaoke" rather than a legitimate attempt to cover the song. Sure, the song might not have translated well with their style, but at least it would have sounded genuine.

[onthewall2983]

One thing they're known for live is not just covering songs, but the depth of variety of who they choose to cover. Everything from Michael Jackson to King Crimson. They even did a cover of the mash-up of "Closer" and the Beatles' "Come Together".

On the 13th at 10:30 on Ovation there's a show called Johnny Cash - Song by Song about Hurt where TR will apparently be discussing his thoughts/reactions.

I don't have the station, but for those that do, enjoy :(

I posted to the hotline back when this originally aired that Trent doesn't appear in this episode except for a pic of him they show a few times.

http://www.theninhotline.net/news/permalink/1350049205

[MrSlfDstruct]

Good to know. The description Fios gives is WAY off then.

"Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor discusses the origins of the band's Grammy Award-nominated song "Hurt", and explains his initial reluctance on having country musician Johnny Cash record a cover version of the classic track."

That sounds a lot more interesting, even though he's discussed it in a bunch of interviews. But now I'm not as bummed about missing it.

[dierythmus]

Self-professed jamband fan chiming in. To put in perspective, my two favorite bands are NIN and Phish. The only band I've seen more than NIN is Phish (NIN - 26ish times, Phish up at around 40).

I've actually seen Umphrey's ~15 times since 2003. They are amazing musicians, write some great songs, and put on a great show. As far as the whole jamband scene (or what's left of it) goes, they have some great singing ability and harmonize really well.

Although, as great as they are, I've kinda been burnt out (no pun intended) on them. Nowadays, I really only download indivudual tracks of theirs from their live shows, and all of those are covers. Generally, they do a FANTASTIC job with cover songs - Better than anyone in the scene IMHO. They're mashups are kind of hokey, but their straight covers are really, really good.

When I saw Wish pop up, I wasn't that excited. I knew it couldn't have been that great, and I was right. To be fair, it's hard to cover NIN really well. If I'm not mistaken, it sounds like they used the actually "wind"-type noise from the intro. Not sure how they sampled that.

If anyone is interested in some of their great covers (best ones that pops into mind are Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond and a Talking Heads song), let me know.

[FernandoDante]

This is more of a "non-spotting", but it's confirmed that Reznor is NOT a part of the Sound City Players gig:

Therefore, we still don't know what "rehearsing two bands" means.

[gorast]

Isn't that just the lineup for one show, though? That's what Antiquiet implied, anyway. He could still be part of a future performance.

[ManBurning]

Exactly, TR could still be part of the Coachella 2013 performance, I mean... He's already there playing with HTDA, he might as well sit down at a piano for 1 song during someone else' set.

God, do I ever hope i'm WRONG with all of us, I want the return of NIN this year just as much as all of you, lol.

[dierythmus]

Tomorrowat 4pm EST on the XM/Sirius channel Lithium, Dave Grohl will be guest DJing and playing select tracks from Sound City artists - including NIN. Sounds like he may tell a brief story before each song.

[fillow]

I wonder if they gonna play any Grohl's song from WT

[eversonpoe]

If I'm not mistaken, it sounds like they used the actually "wind"-type noise from the intro. Not sure how they sampled that.

it's filtered pink noise, that's all. pretty easy to do on a programmable synth.

http://cbskroq2.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/la_show_flyer.jpg?w=435&h=290

Maybe not the LA show based on this flyer. Although I thought the most likely spot for TR to join in would be Coachella, I wonder if SCP playing LA at the end of this month would violate the Coachella radius clause?

[jessamineny]

They would probably make an exception since the show is timed to a film premiere and at a small venue. Doesn't hurt that it's a supergroup, either.

[gorast]

Trent not being in the currently announced shows doesn't mean he won't be in future ones. That sentence was horrendously constructed.

Coachella seems like a good bet for Trent's involvement.

Wait a second, is that Facebook page official? From the about box:

"Apparently, the ensemble will feature “core musicians and special guests” related to the film. As a refresher, Sound City involves (to name just a few): Trent Reznor, Josh Homme, Stevie Nicks, Rick Springfield, Rick Nielsen, Krist Novoselic, Tim Commerford & Brad Wilk of Rage Against the Machine, Alain Johannes, Robert Levon Been & Peter Hayes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead, Paul McCartney, and many more."

That doesn't strike me as an official Facebook page.

[jessamineny]

Nice spot! That Sound City Players page is also not referenced anywhere on the official Sound City Movie page.

[Scarlet Siren]

I had Wednesday's episode of Jimmy Fallon playing in the background today, the trailer for Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters was shown (one of the actors was on the show promoting he movie), my ears picked up on an edit/version of The Wretched. It would appear the trailer for this movie was released some time ago last year but this is new info to me, sorry if this has already been posted .... :)

Damn, Trent is playing a good game of hide and seek! Finding him is proving to be a challenge. I bet he's doing a Bowie - forced all his closest friends and family into silence until he makes a surprise announcement that he will release a new album. That'll be cool if this turns out to be the case :-D

We already know he's working on a new album, but it won't be out for a while. Trent doesn't talk so much these days, but when he does he's fairly forthcoming.

Does he need to perpetually be in the public eye? The marketing machine for Welcome oblivion hasn't started (officially) yet, so he's most likely just enjoying the calm before the storm. He's enjoying it, Q's probably enjoying it, and Rob's never really silent anyway but there's nothing for him to openly talk about HTDA-wise right now. Give the dude his time to be invisible.

And what surprise announcement? We've known about the album for months now. The only surprise will be if there's a 300 dollar deluxe edition, and even then, who would call that a surprise?

[jessamineny]

I think he's talking about NIN.

Oh. Oops.

Even so, I don't think we'll be seeing any NIN this year. I was enthusiastic about the possibility of NIN touring alongside HTDA, but I don't know if Trent will want to do that.

Yeah, I don't think HDTA opening for NIN is a great idea. I do think the best way to start out HDTA's touring career is by having them open for a completely different band though. It'd be a much better way of exposing them to a non-NIN crowd.

Queens of the Stone Age
While I (and, I'm sure, many other people) would relish the opportunity to see this pairing, I don't think it's a good match. Queens have a very loyal base of well-intending but rather narrow-minded fans who prefer straight-rocking heavy jams and that's not at all what HTDA is doing.

Spotting on the 'deep web' if you will: the extended version of Uncoiled (for donors) is on what.cd; sadly it isn't burning up the Top Ten like the original edition did.

Q. What was the deal with Marilyn Manson's Alice involvement? I've heard a lot of things on the internet but internet things are unreliable.



A. He was involved, then he wasn't. They (Manson/NIN people) are a mercurial bunch. Never figured out what the real motivation for the sudden departure was. But we did get a couple of really beautiful tracks out of it - sadly, I'm legally forbidden from releasing them. So I listen to them by myself and smile.

Anti-spotting: relieved to see no NIN on the coachella bill. Love NIN, but fuck the past -- onto the future!

I am relieved as well, because now I can cancel my vacation I had planned in April in case NIN returned at the festival, and use it for the Summer when I actually need it now, hah.

So this probably confirms there won't be any live NIN in 2013 at all. I couldn't see him returning this soon anyway. He will be back, but not til at least next year I would imagine.

[somewhat_]

So this probably confirms there won't be any live NIN in 2013 at all. .

I'm not counting out the possibility of 2013 until the lineups for Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza are announced. The Bonnaroo lineup is announced in February and I believe the headliners for Lollapalooza are usually leaked in February. I think the only thing the lack of NIN at Coachella proves is that HTDA and NIN will not be touring together.

[fillow]

Aren't some of you guys jumping to conclusions too fast? It's only January ffs.

[sheepdean]

HTDA are releasing an album in March so I project NIN will never release an album ever again

[Blackbookpress1984]

Lol. Now what makes that a logical connection?

[ManBurning]

Lol. Now what makes that a logical connection?

He was being "sarcastic" to try and proove how stupid we are for jumping to "silly" conclusions. *rolls eyes*

Yet I find it rather amusing that a few posts up he practically AGREES that NIN won't be touring in 2013 with a quote that says...


The list of things NIN aren't playing this year is rather long

And it wasn't Until @fillow (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=348) told us to stop "jumping to conclusions" AKA: Playing NIN Fortune teller, then he decided to jump on the "he's right, NIN will be back this year" thought all of a sudden. Very odd...

[sheepdean]

That quote was due to the "spotting" of NIN not playing Coachella. Spotting NIN not playing a festival is about as useful as a chocolate teapot

[ManBurning]

Well, some of us were making travel plans based on whether NIN was going to be at coachella or not, so it was a pretty fair "spotting" if you ask me.

You should try it one day, the next time NIN announces their first show in xx number of years, hop on a plane and enjoy the festivities, it's a wonderful feeling!

Oh.


Ok, here's my "complete" guess at what will happen:

Trent keeps himself busy with HTDA during the first half of 2013. Album and shows turn out to be sort of disappointing, only make people miss NIN even more.


Since people are desperately craving for some NIN, out comes The Fragile's deluxe edition rerelease around August (special edition will cost $200), and a US tour of the album played in its entirety (because eff you rest of the world or something?).

The same people who faceplamed this post will be the same ones to say "oh yeah, basically I knew about The Fragile tour with Belew back in January, totally predictable, not really news for me."

EDIT: I'd say more than halfway to confirmed, after this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhqod9tP-W4

[sheepdean]

Of course, this totally means that Trent HAS to cover some King Crimson

[JamesCmuse]

Gutted that Robin won't be touring with him. However, delighted that NIN is touring and very curious as to how this will turn out! :D

[WorzelG]

Fingers crossed this is true, the suspense is killing me.

[_incoma_]

If Trent can handle playing a bit more bass this time around like he did (sorta) during the Fragility tour, I don't see a reason why we can't have both Robin and Adrian. OoOoOo the sounds from that stage...

[jessamineny]

Would he need two guitarists if he toured just The Fragile? (Either in addition to himself, or because he'd be on keys so much...) Serious question (from a total nonmusician)... what would he need to put together?

[onthewall2983]

My guess would be something identical to the lineup he had in 2000. If he brings Adrian on, he'd probably need a rhythm guitarist as well so yeah two primary guitarists.

[_incoma_]

Yeah, totally. Lots of layered guitars and different guitar parts. It's been years since I've listened to it (waiting for the re-release) but yeah plus neither Robin or Adrian are typical guitarists they are more about soundscapes and feeling than just riffing. I'm very interested in who else will be involved. Chris Vrenna on synths and Percussion and Jerome Dillon on drums would be an awesome assault! Throw in Make Garson on piano...BLAH!!!! I can't keep thinking like this...brain will melt....

[voidnz]

If NIN Tour, I hope it's a fragile anniversary tour. I really think Trent should bury NIN otherwise, what he's doing with HTDA is fine. Can't top LITS and it ended so well. Trent's just going to turn into Manson otherwise. Be an old washed up rockstar singing all these old school metal classics and looking like a tool. 50 year old Trent singing Wish with a 63 year old on lead guitar? No thanks.

This whiffs of something very special. Adrian coming on board would seem quite odd to me if it wasn't. Maybe it's what being speculated now, or that the next NIN album is in a slightly different direction.

Regarding NIN's possible/speculated tour for The Fragile, wouldn't it make more sense from a promotional point of view to release The Fragile's new edition in 2014 for its 15th anniversary?

I believe this year will be mainly dedicated to HTDA, and by the end of the year maybe they could start announcing some dates for NIN's return, with 2014 being the best year for a big tour promoting The Fragile's 15th Anniversary Edition, the Greatest Hits compilation, the new album and maybe even with the possiblity of a new edition for TDS's 20th Anniversary since the 5.1 remixes/remasters are already done and I doubt that Interscope would miss another opportunity to make more money out of such a classic album. And maybe they could even release a 10th anniversary edition of With Teeth for 2015 (with a booklet, finally XD).

[jessamineny]

Keep in mind that the family's timetable might be more important than any "anniversary" timing for a tour. I'm sure he would rather not leave his wife and children at home during a (likely) lengthy NIN tour. And as kids get older (their eldest kid will be 3 this fall), it becomes more important for them to be in preschool and around other kids in general for social interaction. So it might be better to haul the family around on a tour bus sooner rather than later.

if Trent was going to tour The Fragile, dont you think he would bring back the Fragile touring lineup of robin, danny etc...get real, if NIN does tour, it will have NOTHING to do with The Fragile lol

[MrSlfDstruct]

Belew contributed quite a bit of guitar work toward The Fragile. Makes sense to me.

I'm not saying that's what is going to happen, but it wouldn't be totally out of left field.

[gorast]

Why do Fragility over again when you can do something fresh and new with a bunch of tracks that you've never played live before? If Trent is indeed touring The Fragile in its entirety, I wouldn't want to see the same people doing it. If you think about NIN's live setup and one of the reasons behind the constantly changing lineup (Trent's desire to have the material continually re-imagined) then doing Fragility 3.0 sounds (and is) fucking stupid.

[jessamineny]

Not to mention the fact that Fragility-era setlists didn't even remotely resemble a tour of The Fragile front-to-back. :rolleyes:

Not sure where to post this... so I thought I'd put it here.

I found a test edit I did of one of the Terminal 5 shows a couple years ago when I was going through hard drives and thought I'd upload it for people to enjoy (even though it's not great and is why the Terminal 5 show never got fully edited).

Video Description:
"Edited this (poorly - I know) with the few camera angles I was given to edit a Terminal 5 show a couple years ago. This was my test song and the song that had the most amount of coverage for an edit. At times, I probably had only one shitty angle available and at the most - I had 4 angles to choose from. In other words, the rest of the show wasn't really worth editing, given the lack of coverage that we had. I just found it in my hard drive and thought other people would enjoy it, regardless of it's quality. So... enjoy?"

"Gavin Harrison picks 10 essential drum albums" (http://www.musicradar.com/news/drums/gavin-harrison-picks-10-essential-drum-albums-571051/11). The Fragile is number 10.

[fillow]

I wonder is he knows how little live drumming there is

[wizfan]

Thompson has said he worked on eight tracks for the Fragile. (http://www.moderndrummer.com/site/2005/07/tony-thompson/)

[fillow]

This doesn't really saying much, there is no way to tell how many of his parts ended up on the album. He's nowhere in the linear notes (although I'm not sure about 'thanks' section).
And TR once said something like Grohl and Dillon played about half of the live drums on WT each, while in the end Dillon is only credited on two songs, and Grohl on 8 (including Non-Entity).

[scorpiusdiamond]

Technically Josh Freese played drums on The Slip, they were just programmed. I expect it's just the same thing. You can still get a sense of how the drummer sounds but possibly not how they play rhythmically (if that makes any sense)
I think the drums on With Teeth were definitely more 'live' than The Fragile or The Slip.

[Harry Seaward]

Right Where It Belongs used by Charlie Brooker on his 2012 Wipe programme tonight. I think he's a fan of NIN...

Doesn't he sometimes use little segments by Adam Curtis in Screenwipe? I know Adam Curtis is a fan of using NIN in his series. Was this one of those circumstances?

[mfte]

So so so so Trent has voiced his hiphop fandom for a long time now. And he worked with Saul Williams as he was working on Year Zero. and Saul is a hiphop head. All the makes me think that he is showing love on Meet Your Master for this old tune.

the drums were definitely more "whole takes" on With Teeth; The Fragile used a lot of drum loops which were often cut from real drumming. The Slip sounds programmed to me, even if it was taken from samples of someone playing.

Alessandro is also credited on The Slip, yet he mentioned in one interview that his only presence on the album is the hand on TR's shoulder (front cover photo).


According to a Japanese interview (http://sound.jp/hardlistening/interviews/modwheelmood2_1.html) with modwheelmood (http://www.ninwiki.com/Modwheelmood), the hand on the cover of The Slip is that of Alessandro Cortini, while the shoulder is Reznor's. Cortini also states that he did not actually play anything on the studio album, though his performances are included on the rehearsal DVD.

Neve != Dave Grohl's studio:

Isn't that when the NIN live speculation started up again (before the guitarist leak)?

[GentlemanLoser]

Barely a NIN-spotting. But I was at my local record store's vinyl cave, and was in the "N" section (not looking for nine inch nails mind you) and found a near-pristine copy of The Fragile, still in shrink wrap. For like 0.5 seconds I got really excited before realizing that this was probably going to be too expensive for me to just buy, even if I found it hiding there. Sure enough, it was like $130 (which is a pretty good price, but more than I can afford nonetheless) or something like that.

TMZ's sensationalised it (probably for the first time ever). His actual comments are fairly mild, and there's no context around how or why this was discussed.

Personally though, if thousands of people who'd probably never heard the song are being pointed in its direction, I'd be happy about it. I don't know if he still gets paid for any of the work he did with NIN, but I'd think sales will be up as a consequence.

I know it's included in the search results above, and I believe it was mentioned awhile back on the old ETS, but here you go anyway:

http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/03/watch-nine-inch-nails-self-destruct-tour-documentary/


Over the weekend, Reznor posted two videos, highlighted by a rarely seen documentary of Nine Inch Nail’s “Self Destruct” tour. As Spin (http://www.spin.com/articles/nine-inch-nails-self-destruct-tour-documentary-video-watch) notes, the 75-minute film was previously only available on the 1997′s Closure VHS, and includes cameos from David Bowie and Marilyn Mansion. It’s also NSFW.

The other video is in the form of an acoustic performance of “The Becoming”, which originally appeared on Still (http://www.nin.com/still/), the bonus companion to 2002′s live album, And All That Could Have Been.

I had no idea about Ogilvie's work for this song, did Vrenna know this when he got (kind of) mad about "Call Me A Hole"? XD

I think he did, because when I tweeted about his TMZ article, his twitter account replied saying that the TMZ article left out the stuff about Ogilivie, and all the other stuff, and took Chris' words out of context. (Whatevs, nbd dudes)

They have continually gushed over him in recent years' stories. It's just the music reviews that don't gush. Helps prove to me that they keep a healthy separation between those two functions of their publication.

In the Radio 1 versus between Jared Leto and Zane Lowe, Jared played 'Closer', stating if he got married, he would choose this to walk down the aisle!

He and Zane then went on to discuss Downward Spiral for several minutes, stating it one if the best albums ever, up there with Dark Side of the Moon.
Then they talked about Trent for a few minutes, and then moved on to talk about, bowie, and prince, of all people!
Sweet.

I am pretty confident the breakdown in the new Junkie XL song Katshing! is sampling Ghosts 8. It is just drums after all, so it could be just similar samples and whatnot, but the general feel and background texture is right.

Autobiographical tale, of the off the rails variety, of ‘adult’ movie star Tyrone ‘Nine-Inch’ Nails. Published, to the world’s dismay, in 1971, the title describes Nails’ life trajectory… as well as his signature ‘move’.
Interesting.

[sheepdean]

So it's either "a really cool name that looks good", a porn star or the nail used to hang Jesus.

There is a very short clip of the Closer video (a few seconds, no sound) at around 48:46 in Side by Side, which is Keanu Reeves' recent documentary on the impact of digital video on the motion picture industry.

The film's theme is quite in parallel with that of Sound City in that both are to some extent the story of rapidly improving digital technology supplanting older methods of making and distributing art that had been relatively stable for decades.

SPIN Brings Up Trent's Past Comment On Fred Durst (http://www.spin.com/articles/hated-nation-30-biggest-punching-bags-pop-history?page=14)

[eversonpoe]

halfway through the remake of Wicker Man (the version with Nicholas Cage which was apparently written & directed by Neil Labute), but with Rifftrax. the movie is abominable, especially in comparison to the odd but charming and actually suspenseful original, but the riffing is incredible, and they made a joke about Trent.

That reminded me of the "Best Scenes from Wicker Man" vid that's on YouTube. I haven't watched it in a couple years, I laughed like I was seeing it for the first time. I'll have to check out the Rifftrax.

From Trent's Twitter:

My old friend richardpatrick brought his upcoming Filter record by my studio and we managed to blow up my new speakers with it.


Awwww they are fwiends....

[zecho]

I don't know why he even humor's that guy. He's done nothing but talk trash about Trent since he left the band. Just a couple of years ago he had this long rant at a show about how Trent wouldn't sign a fan's poster because he'd signed it first, and had the crowd chant "Fuck Trent Reznor", all because there were two guys in the audience with NIN shirts on. I don't have anything against his music, but he seems like a pathological liar and a bit of an egomaniac. I wouldn't have him in my house after twenty years of that bullshit.

This is fucking awesome.

If you look at the green image in the middle towards the left hand side, you can see an alternate tracklist where TLBTB is the first track.

The Line Begins To Blur
All The Love In The World
The Hand That Feeds
With Teeth
The Collector
Beside You In Time
[can't read the last one]

The image immediately to the right of this one also shows The Line Begins To Blur as the first track on the album.

It helps if you look at the original image full size, but I'm still straining my eyes to see these: http://nineinchnails.tumblr.com/image/46109036488

What rubbish. I was lucky enough to get to a meet and greet, and Trent was certainly not the first to go around.

Corey Taylor from Slipknot:
Taylor tells us, “I love making music and I love working with other people cause you get such a different perspective about how you make your own music sometimes. There’s a handful of people that I would love to work with. At the top of that list now, since Dave [Grohl is] not on that list anymore [is Nine Inch Nails mastermind] Trent Reznor. I would love to do something with Trent. I would love to do something violent and dark with Trent.

I kind of hope Trent isn't completely past his "violent and dark" stage. This has the potential to be a fantastic collaboration.

[MrSlfDstruct]

I'd love to see them work together. I love Taylor's vocals and he's pretty good at putting a song together. Great guy to see in concert too, I saw his acoustic show with Aaron Lewis on New Year's a few years back and he's great with an audience.

[kargath]

I was just watching the Lollapalooza Brazil webcast for A Perfect Circle and immediately after the show, and I have no CLUE whatsoever what the guy was saying cause it was in Portuguese or whatever they speak... but they name dropped Nine Inch Nails. I was recording the stream, so when I get a chance I'll post it on youtube and maybe someone can translate it.. or maybe the youtube auto CC will work.

edit: here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aidMKM8Ivcc&feature=youtu.be

It said it couldn't do auto CC... so any translation would be helpful... I get that at first he's talking about the different members of APC and I think when they joined the band, etc... then I think he mentions that Maynard's other band, Puscifer, will be playing tomorrow... then at around the 2 min mark he mentions NIN... no clue why.

[Leo_OAK]

Hey, Brazilian here (whatever we speak over here would be Brazilian-Portuguese). The reporter is trying to "explain" APC's sound comparing them with Tool and Nine Inch Nails. Nothing interesting enough for me to post the literal translation.

Thank you for the gist. Wasn't trying to be offensive if it came off that way... I'm uploading the full APC set right now.. hopefully I don't get a take-down notice.

I think the last one below "Beside You In Time" is "Not So Pretty Now"

[Leo_OAK]

It's all good! Nice one (uploading the full APC set). I was there, made my way through the crowd to the front row. The QOTSA/APC combo left a ringing that's still pretty much living in my ears until now. Both bands were unbelievable.

Wish I would have been done with work early enough to catch the QOTSA set.. saw about 2 songs of it.

I did manage to capture Puscifer today. Uploading it as I type this. I didn't see any mention of NIN this time during the before/after chatter... but then again, I haven't had a chance to really watch it yet.

Thanks again.. wish I could have been there live... ah well.

I try and be open minded but hell no! Nu-metal icons and Nine Inch Nails, it just seems so vile.

[Conan The Barbarian]

I think Corey Taylor has proven himself to be much more than that already. I would love to hear a collaboration between the two. Have Trent write and produce the track and have Taylor handle vox and lyrics.

Have you even heard With Teeth?

[_incoma_]

I've only ever liked a few songs here and there with slipknot and that one bother song. The guy definitely does what he does well but I've never seen him to be of the same caliber of musician. Totally not trying to offend anyones person taste by any means. One just comes off as a "rockstar" and the other not so much.

I try not to remember nin from 05-07. :P

NIN is mentioned in the description for the Buchla doc kickstarter -- http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/589078128/buchla-documentary


The list of musicians and composers who have used the Buchla range from avant-garde composer Morton Subotnick to Nine Inch Nails, with plenty more along the way.

looks like Cortini will (not surprisingly) be involved:

Among the other people we will be including in the film are early Buchla composer/performer Suzanne Ciani, analog synth performer/music journalist Gino Robair, Lightning virtuoso Forrest Tobey, synth maestro Alessandro Cortini (of Nine Inch Nails and Sonoio), Marimba Lumina co-designer Mark Goldstein, and, of course,Don himself.

for synth-nerds, this will probably be a treat.

quoting for truth, since it went by un -noticed/-answered:


Hey yo, what happened to NIN Spotting JUST being NIN Spotting...?

don't want to rain on anyone's parade here, but is it official policy now to discuss spotting in this thread as well? i mean, i'm reading this topic for spottings and there's some speculation about alternate tracklists going on, only to be followed by a discussion about slipknot...?

The Still CD is on sale at the NIN bandmerch site if anyone's interested: http://store.bandmerch.com/nin/product/a74061b001/still-cd.html

Ordered Still on Feb 27, then today after more than one month wait Bandmerch says the parcel was likely 'lost during transit'. I asked if it was possible to get another CD but apparently it's sold out again. I got my money back and now I'll ask to @heavenly_bearded (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=341) if he has one to sell.

Bandmerch sucks.

Matt Skiba Of Alkaline Trio Discussing "Two Princes" By The Spin Doctors:


It sucked. Oh, man. Even then I wasn’t drinking the Kool-Aid. I was like, “What is this? Why are they on Lollapalooza? Keep that shit over there. Nine Inch Nails and the Spin Doctors are playing together? Are you fucking kidding me?” It’s weird man. It’s really interesting, though.
