Where is Everybody? should have been a single from The Fragile. Listening to that today im amazed Interscope did not push for that to be a single.
That era The Fragile was released was weakest time for music and,mainstream rock. But if you listen to Where is Everybody you can hear the hit potential there. Its so enormous sounding in every sense.
Its been used in about 20 movies and adverts since??? Ive heard it on a few really, really random shows for the BBC over the years.

They took a risk with Closer in 94 but not that track? Odd.

What do nin and geography have in common?

Probably nothing...

Europe looks like a dog. Maybe a cocker spaniel.

Call me insane, but I have always thought that the very beginning of "were in this together", the distorted parts in the beginning always seem to be saying "Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger"
Ive ruined that beginning for a few people I know now, because ive convinced them to hear it too...

:D wow now that's all I can hear. On a related note, my friend and I ruined the kind of slappy bass notes that precede the "Help me" portions of Closer. We imagined that was the noise a penguin would make as it walked, and now anytime I listen to Closer, I imagine penguins marching along with it.

I LOVE 10 Miles High and The New Flesh I don't know why those two tracks didn't make it onto the standard tracklist..

Further Down The Spiral: Tour features no songs from the album
And All That Could Have Been: tour doesn't have song on, standard album doesn't have song on
With Teeth: tour barely features song
Lights In The Sky: tour doesn't have song on, EP doesn't have song on

Does Trent pay attention to what he calls his tours?

[fillow]

^^
Further Down The Spiral: pretty sure the title is not official. Too lazy to search, but I think the passes/posters/whetever memorabilia from that tour reads Self Destruct tour. And oh, the album happened a few months after said tour ended.
And All That Could Have Been: lyric is featured in The Great Below and The Wreteched
With Teeth: still played more than 50 times
Lights In The Sky: agreed (though the song was soundchecked)

[sick among the pure]

Lights In The Sky: agreed (though the song was soundchecked)

Trent said something about it being too quiet a song (in reference to the assholes who like to yell things during quiet songs) but later got the courage to play it on the Wave Goodbye tour.

[Jumprof]

I LOVE 10 Miles High and The New Flesh I don't know why those two tracks didn't make it onto the standard tracklist.. Imho The New Flesh fits quite good to the third version of the We're In This Together single. The single all works out with this track in the middle. But I'm not sure if I would like it on The Fragile CD.

[AgentofChaos]

Need some help. Lost all my nin files. Was able to redownload everything I needed except one thing.

I absolutely LOVE the soundboard cut Another Version of the Truth gift 2 disc live cd. Except for whatever reason they used the Victoria version of Terrible Lie instead of Portland, which is subtly different but in my mind, vastly better. I originally made my own mix with the Portland cut, except now I can't download Lights over Portland anywhere. No seeders.

If someone can seed on the bay, or pm me to send me just that specific track so I can recreate my mix, I would greatly appreciate it. Flac is preferred, but I am going to convert it regardless, so mp3 is fine too if you only have that. Thanks,

Driving out to Ohio (from New Jersey) last weekend I had to stop in Mercer, PA (home of Trent) as its right off of the highway, after a 5 minute detour through Mercer I fully understood where Trent's teenage angst came from.

The Fragile is top of my list but I really didn't need to be convinced, http://peopleslist.pitchfork.com/list/56a254d0/ , my list really shows my lack of diversity, kind of just added whatever albums they had that were also in my itunes then ranked them

[TheBang]

i miss this shirt. this was my consolation prize for my mom not letting me to see the outside tour.
I still have my original shirt, purchased Jan 5, 1995, at the Worcester show. The spiral and words are getting a little worn with age, but it still looks good, and I still wear it every once in a while.

[BenAkenobi]

At ~ 50 seconds in album version of Right where it belongs there's an effect that feels like airplane taking off and keeps ascending until 3 minutes when it sort of reaches the "ceiling" (don't know correct english equivalent) and the earth slowly floats somewhere deep below. pity it doesn't stay there very long.

[dlb]

I hate listening to my NIN bootlegs collection once in a while. Makes me miss seeing Trent and Co. on the stage to an unhealthy extent. I think I can safely say that even in 10 or 20 years from now THIS is the band I cared for the most and that has given me the most to drool over. I did not like everything and I even hated some, but damn these guys (all of them!) are great and I love every line-up for what it was!

When I re-listen to the amazing Girl with the dragon tattoo soundtrack and I hear the quality of music in pieces like What if WE Could?, Parallel Timeline with Alternate Outcom, the two covers, and many others, I just can't fuckin' wait to hear what Trent did with HTDA and what he's up or may be up to with Nine Inch Nails...news are so slow right now. Give us a hint, a studio snippet...anything?...

Am I not a little greedy fucking pig fan? :D

[wizfan]

I remember downloading a rip of an unauthorized CD called "Nine Inch Nails - The Interview" (I think). It ran for about half an hour (again: I think), and there were various interviews of Trent over some dumb "industrial" loops. Most of these interviews must have been from radio shows. Some of them were recorded from a shitty telephone connection, full of static and buzzing, making Trent's voice even more hard to listen to along with the stupid music in the background. People were actually selling this shit back in the day.

[kercyx]

Is it bad to be still hoping for a Wave Goodbye DVD/blu ray ?... just to hear/see Ruiner, Heresy, etc with soundboard audio ( I know the hurricane festival has Heresy but it's only on the NIN Drive but I am still waiting for mine and it's killing me )

Yeah, whatever happened to those onstage HD videos Rob had? I seem to remember him saying there were more, am I remembering right?

Anyone see Trent is thanked in credits of the new black light burns album? Pretty cool.

Yeah, I've noticed that, too. I remember posting about it in Ye Olde ETS and a user (can't remember who) said "now we know the source of their powers".

I think it's really awkward that someone posted their own interpretation/speculation on the concept behind "The Slip" on the ninwiki. Especially since it tries so hard to connect it to "Year Zero".

So, browsing thedailywhat, and saw a posting

Time for some NINerdiness:

Ever heard of the HDCD technology? It's a (rather wonky, in my opinion) technology which adds extra audio data to a CD for (sometimes) better audio quality. Usually, it adds four bits on the standard 16-bit depth, making it 20-bit. I think there's also some thing called "Super HDCD" which claims to make it 24-bit, but we'll skip that.

Anyway, the technology used to be fairly popular about a decade ago. The HDCD's play as regular 16/44 CD's on normal players, so a HDCD-compliant player is required to decode the extra signal. One of the most popular HDCD's is Tool's Lateralus. The technology is still used today, albeit only by annoying audiophiles (read: Neil Young).

Trent had used this technology on some releases during the Fragile era. I used foobar2000's HDCD decoder addon to scan NIN's FLAC discography for compliant tracks, and found that the TDTWWA single, as well as all We're In This Together singles, contain HDCD data (though I can't tell if they actually sound better). A track off The Fragile, "Into The Void", also lights up the HDCD indicator, as well as parts (I can't figure this out) of the following track, "Where is Everybody".

I believe all of this will be a moot point if Trent releases a 24-bit stereo version of The Fragile on a DVD/Blu-ray/stick, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

[BenAkenobi]

Re: HDCD
i've used a decoder on all those mentioned and it made zero changes. probably false trigger is accidental bit combination.

[marodi]

I saw this in NIN Spotting:


This is a video from the 'Sound City' documentary... it is a 30 second snippet of Trent's first musical memory.

indeed, i investigated this with Sheepdean a couple years ago using the TDTWWA CD single. far as i could tell, it's basically the same as the Lateralus HDCD, which is to say that the grand effect is simply adding headroom above the already-clipped waveform - essentially making the music quieter, without actually adding anything where the extra bit depth would matter (the quietest sounds).

however, it might have something to do with the way Windows Media Player was ripping the HDCD information.

i didn't know the WITT singles had it too. hmmm...

[scorpiusdiamond]

If anyone's a fan, it looks like Aaron North is finally resurfacing (https://twitter.com/whtgreyblk/status/114646043328655360). This makes me happy...
edit: Note that White/Grey/Black is the Aaron's current (?) project.

[pcpunk]

ummm, that tweet is almost a year old.

[botley]

That was supposed to be a record label of some kind, but the website never opened and I don't think I ever got email from their listserv. It's a shame that Aaron couldn't get his band Jubilee off the ground enough to put out a full-length album. What they did put out seemed pretty awesome. Dude just can't seem to keep his shit together solo.

[pcpunk]

yeah, i had hopes for him. his first two releases were great, and i was looking forward to the album (also the fan-exclusive album/ep/whatever). haven't seen an update from him for quite some time. hope he's doing ok.

[scorpiusdiamond]

Crap, here's me not looking at the date correctly.
Damn it Aaron, where did you go? I had the opportunity to see Jubilee live and they kicked ass. Erik (the other half of W/G/B) is active on Twitter but never mentions Aaron.

[Endlessly]

Erik (the other half of W/G/B) is active on Twitter but never mentions Aaron.

Yeah, and a few weeks ago he was giving away the last of the W/G/B slipmats (inexplicably packaged in an Exmortus sleeve, at least in my case).

[bgalbraith]

Not sure where this goes, but here seems reasonable.

I've managed to acquire a large number of poster images from the Live: With Teeth Tour. Here they are compiled into a collage for your enjoyment:

http://i.imgur.com/86YVu.jpg

[BenAkenobi]

are these chronological?

[dlb]

no, the war-themed posters only came in 2006. 2005 was albout the with_teeth inspired artwork (a personal fave of mine btw), while the very first 2005 posters were more in vain with the viral videos for the album (e.g. the line begins to blur).

they are all amazing and I could punch myself for never obtaining some of them. the ones on nin.com are good, but not the posters I was craving back then like the Cleveland one.

These are in order by filename, starting with the lower left and snaking around up to the upper left. I can rearrange them to be in chronological order if you would want that.

I have the Cleveland poster, actually. And I would think about parting with it for a 2006 East poster for my first show in Erie.

Copied from AAISAD thread, because it's off-topic

Something tells me that Trent & co. aren't too keen on releasing the final concert in its entirety. I think they'd rather select the top performances from that last run of gigs. Not to be a dick here, but there were very clear fuckups at the Wiltern, that weren't necessarily present at the previous gigs. It's like the focus was on the special guests, rather than on playing the best version of each song.

Concerts aren't about perfect experiences. (And actually, the imperfect is where the magic usually happens.) As a very small, concrete example: Know how TR -- unlike any other artist I've ever seen -- never lets photographers come out into the pit until well into the show? Not the first three songs when he's picture-perfect, but when the photos will be real.

The Wiltern show in its entirety is the documentation of a moment in NIN history, one with a lot of significance to fans (and, I'm sure, the band). To suggest that TR would be narcissistic and egocentric enough to not release it because of something you perceive as fatal fuckups... that seems fucked up to me.

Not narcissistic. Just a desire to release a better product. Wasn't that the case with the multiple recordings on ATCHB? What about recording two nights for BYIT, and even then rumors of overdubbing it? Or providing footage from THREE concerts for AVOTT?

The moment in NIN history was real - for the people who were there. As you said, concerts are imperfect experiences, where the little changes tend to matter the most. A live release is not a concert. I'm all for capturing the best versions of the songs, which doesn't necessarily mean Numan singing Metal or Mike Garson playing wonderfully.

I'm not saying that all fuckups are bad - just not a huge fan of the ones that happened at the Wiltern. During the 2009 tour, the lack of Alessandro forced Trent to make up for little mistakes tremendously well, and from what I recall of those last few bootlegs, the best examples of that were during the pre-Wiltern gigs.

Disclaimer: I was bored


If NIN releases were children:
PHM is the first child, and is into all kinds of weird music that you've never heard of
Broken, being the second child, has to be angry and noisy to get any attention
TDS is the depressed teenager who works at McDonalds
The Fragile has a scholarship for piano playing, but wishes they were in a metal band
TFA is the accident child that you never really loved, but put up with just to keep up appearances
With Teeth watches MTV
YZ and YZR are identical twins, and though they swear they have many differences, no one can tell them apart
Ghosts is the kid that looks nothing like the father, but is a academic genius so no one mention's anything
The Slip is a baby that tries to emulate all of its siblings, but hasn't found its own voice yet

Reading the beginning of TR's news:

"Sorry for the radio silence lately... I've been busy! There's a number of things to be revealed over the coming months. Some you may expect, others you may not. Patience, my friends.

Today's news is about my band How To Destroy Angels.">>> etc.

Tell me I'm crazy, but the way I read it he is speaking about any project he may be working on in that first paragraph, not particularly HTDA.

I wouldn't be surprised if some NIN gets released in the near future. I'm not sure it will be any new material or it might be the The Fragile Deluxe and/or Wave Good Bye DVD. Thoughts?

I don't think we'll be getting anything NIN-related in the "near future" because it would most definitely eclipse the HTDA full length. If we're getting anything, it'll be probably mid 2013, and an announcement probably won't be until the beginning of 2013, after An Omen has had some time to breathe.

It's really weird talking about new HTDA now that we know what the release is going to be called. It's a good feeling.

I'm not sure. It seems like Omen serves at least a couple of purposes: to fulfill TR's promise to give us new HTDA music this year, and as a teaser to get people psyched about the full release in the spring. I don't know if the band would be too worried about other releases overshadowing Omen. In fact, if there were NIN releases (like the Fragile deluxe or Wave Goodbye DVDs) that got a lot of attention in between Omen and the LP, it might actually bring more attention to the HTDA releases.

[BRoswell]

Was watching part of And All That Could Have Been earlier. Honestly, I think if Trent and Co. handed over the soundboard audio for the final show to the TOIOU guys and they edited the various camera angles that were shot by fans, you'd get a release that would be fairly similar in approach to AATCHB. As much as I'd love to see a professionally shot video, the almost chaotic nature of AATCHB seems more appropriate, and I think a release like that would be the best of both worlds. Fan created video, band created audio.

That's definitely how I seen An Omen too, but I feel like the momentum would be derailed if they released something between Omen and the LP. Like, yeah, NIN releases would bring more attention to Trent's projects in general (which includes HTDA), but I can't help but feel that the casual fan would end up completely ignoring the LP because now they have The Fragile deluxe or the Wave Goodbye DVD to occupy themselves with.

I just feel like An Omen would serve its purpose much better if it was the only thing we got until the LP. That way, that's all we have to focus on until the LP comes out, because there's no way that An Omen could overshadow the LP.

I like this better than the final With_Teeth cover.

[sheepdean]

I remember I asked Rob a while back for a print of it, he said the art was still owned by people, I wonder if, when Interscope decide to release Bleedthrough because they're broke, it'll come with a nice big poster.

[Leviathant]

As much as I know that following The Fragile with a sci-fi concept album probably wouldn't have gone over as well (despite Year Zero killing it in that regard), I do kind of wish Bleedthrough happened instead of With Teeth. I liked the art direction better, and I seem to like the known-to-be-Bleedthrough-era songs best off W_T.

Edit: sheepdean, very interesting. The largest version I've found (http://www.ninwiki.com/images/f/fb/Bleedthrough.jpg) was on Rob's portfolio site, after chasing down the XML that feeds the Flash frontend.

[sheepdean]

W_T always looks like an emo kid to me

I wish I could have the best of both worlds - mix that Bleedthrough graphic with the gorgeous turquoises and teals of With Teeth.

Yeah, apparently it's owned by NIN, who at the time were of course "owned" by Interscope, so Trent has some of the rights, Rob probably has some, and there's a person at a desk in a skyscraper who has 1% of the rights and probably doesn't even know what an iPod is. #musicindustry

I first read your statement as "gorgeous tortoises and seals of With Teeth", and was really confused. It could have lead to some interesting titles, though.
All The Doves In The World
Dogspots

[Vertigo]

I'll bet that was his original intention - there's a caged animal reference lurking in Right Where It Belongs. What if he was originally going to write a concept album about his favourite animals, with music built entirely from processed wildlife vocalisations? I can only imagine the pain and angst in the demo version of Love Is Not Enough, in which he sings about how much he'd adore a pet big cat, but can't have one because it'd be too dangerous.

We've all been there, Trent.

I mean, the first line of the album is "watching all the insects march along". It's pretty obvious.

Yeah, I think some of the songs were shuffled around and tweaked to remove the overarching concept of the album. What we got is more or less what we were going to get.

This is 100% true. However, you missed the part about why he changed things. There was one wildlife vocal that he couldn't find a way to properly filter:

To be fair, that joke line has been used since the album first came out. Both in "misheard lyrics" threads and in the old photoshop thread here on ETS.

You know, Trent Reznor being at the forefront of a revolution in musical distribution is all sweet and dandy, but then again I kinda miss the olden days when his stuff would just leak at any random day, weeks before the release.

Indeed! I actually never saw the movie because of this. But in hindsight, listening to [With_Teeth] a month in advance strikes me as a good deal. But back on (some) topic: I'm looking forward to the single release an the ep... the old NIN-goosebums are still there.

I'm not quiet sure anymore wether it was the radio-leak of "The Hand that feeds" in shitty quality or the leak of the complete "With Teeth" record, but anyway, Reznor posted a statement later that day where he would spoil the end of Clint Eastwoods "Million Dollar Baby", which was just released at that time.

So, when you now hear him in interviews saying something along the lines of "Well, I used to get mad when leaks happened, but then I realized why am I mad at these guys?", he's thinking back to that evening.

Am I the only one who thinks The Great Destroyer is terrible? That cheesy 80's scream doesn't help it at all either. Much prefer the Modwheelmood remix.

I always thought the modwheelmood remix would have made a great Bond opening song.

I remember not liking TGD at first but it grew on me. I think the scream is supposed to be a bit cheesy and throw back-ish. I also love that it totally freaks out my aunt if she's in my car when it comes on.

[joeyjojo]

I was listening to In This Twilight live compilation the other day (the one that compiles all songs performed during 2005-07) and totally forgot about We're In This Together. And when it suddenly started... HOLY SHIT. I know it was really hard to sing live, but why didn't they play it a little more? They played Last a lot and I remember him saiying that it's also hard to sing. (Yeah I know they changed the key). I think that to really enhance the song (WITT) live, they should've add one more guitar layer during the solo part. Trent doesn't sing there anyway.

I can't find any other references to it on the forum so will start here. A few chunks of my torrent of this ("nine inch nails - In This Twilight (Live 2005-2007) FLAC") got messed up and I'm stuck on 98.2%. Can somebody please seed the last little bit?

[Highly Psychological]

Listened to Year Zero for first time in ages other day.......The lyrics to Vessell from Year Zero......sounds like a track about a homosexual relationship under an oppressive tyrannical government. Thats the most obvious assumption to my ears? And the effect this has on a persons faith? I suppose you can interpret in any way you want to. But the lyrics make a hell of a lot more sense when using a homosexual context. I know Trent is not gay, but that album covers many themes about being enslaved by some sort of system and being liberated, Vessell so happens to be the track that covers themes about standing up for an alternative type of love? And fighting for individuality. Etc. Lyrics on Year Zero are Trents best i think.

[wizfan]

To me, Vessel always was about a character leading themselves to drug overdose so that the government couldn't capture and torture them. "My God, can it go any faster? I don't think I can last here" could refer to the drugs taking effect, and the instrumental outro symbolizes the slow and painful death. That's my take on it. Never thought it could be about homosexuality (though Meathead did make this connection once...).

[cashpiles (closed)]

I've long suspected Trent of being somewhat of a charlatan. I believe he played up some of his psychological weaknesses to attract a certain market. Also, to say that Trent wa doing this purely for the art of it would be a lie as he obviously cares about profits.

[sweeterthan]

I thought I read somewhere that "Vessel" is about two personalities inside one mind that's being taken over by drugs called parepin and opal. In year zero, parepin was in the water and opal was a recreational drug. The person in vessel is experiencing reactions from both drugs. I have always interpreted the noisy outro of the song to be one of the personalities winning out over the other.

[BRoswell]

I've long suspected Trent of being somewhat of a charlatan. I believe he played up some of his psychological weaknesses to attract a certain market. Also, to say that Trent wa doing this purely for the art of it would be a lie as he obviously cares about profits.

Heaven forbid an artist cares whatsoever about making money. I guess the only REAL artists are the ones that do it for free.

I think we all dream about doing what we love AND making money while doing it, including Trent. Does that make him less of an artist? No. In fact, I'd say that makes him very human. There ARE people who only care about making money, with no concern over the quality of the work they are putting out, but Trent isn't one of them.

[r_z]

Yeah, I don't think cashpiles was making an accusation.

I kind of noticed that too... all the talk about his weaknesses gets pretty repititive when reading a couple of interviews from a certain era. I guess he/they laid out some kind of plan about what he'd talk about in those interviews (he sometimes even used the exact same phrases or sentences, etc..). That being said, I think, there's nothing wrong with it. Trent always stroke me as someone who's rather in control of things. So this makes perfectly sense.
Also I wouldn't go as far as calling him a charlatan, since some of his "weaknesses" surely happend, but I'm also sure, he embraced them publicly for matters of promoting his music and creating a certain "dark" persona.

[BRoswell]

On stage he might have played it up, but I think he was sincere when he wrote those songs and when he spoke in interviews. I remember reading Saul Williams talk about one of the songs on NiggyTardust and how he "raped" his life for arts sake, and I feel that Trent is probably the same way. After all, for as transparent as Trent has been with his fans, there's probably a lot we DON'T know about him.

[thefragile_jake]

Been watching a lot of old YouTube videos of the concerts I had been to and I've been really bumming on the fact that there could possibly never be another NIN tour again. I think we were completely spoiled from 2005-2009 on NIN live that we kind of took it for granted. I know I sure did, I've only had the chance to see the band 3 times in 2005, 2008 and 2009 respectively. I had the chance to see them again in Columbia in 2008 (with fuckin Boris nonetheless, one of my favorite bands) but plans didn't work out. I was going to see them again in 2009 at Aragon Ballroom but I made the stupid mistake of thinking "Well, I'll just skip presale and get the tickets when they go on sale..." and they all ended up selling out through presale. I wasn't thinking obviously.

I just realized that no artist has a more collective body of work and material that I know and appreciate more than Trent Reznor and basically anything Nine Inch Nails related (I mean, I've been on a steady NIN kick again recently and I can't stop listening to Things Falling Apart)...I just hope we get another chance to experience this music again live...and not through maybe How to Destroy Angels throwing in a NIN cover for live material sake...I mean Nine Inch Nails again live. I won't hold my breath for awhile but I sure hope it happens before the end of this decade.

From stories I've been told, I am sure that there are a lot of things fans don't know. And I'm completely fine with that. He can be sincere and open and raw in his music, perform like a fucking boss, and still have a private life.

Actually they didn't all sell out in presale, unless I'm confusing sales. I was in the first 500 for the presale for the 8/29 show and a few weeks later more tickets went on sale and I got a pair for 8/28 then.

[SM Rollinger]

I agree with Jake a couple posts back, in regards to the touring from 05-09. i only saw nin once during that period, and that was during the lights in the sky tour. the closest they came to me on the ninja tour was kansas city and i kick myself to this day for not going, because they opened that show with now im freakin nothing (favorite song from phm era).

aside from the lits tour, the only other time i saw em was back in 2000 on fragility 2.0, in minneapolis. april 17th if i remember correctly, because maynard (apc opened) said something to the effect of "its my birthday, and if you want to do someting for me, go home after the show, put on an elton john record, and masturbate till you pass out"

they played my hometown on sioux falls back in the day on the 2nd leg of the self destruct tour, but i was in middle school at the time and dint really listen to any music at all. i know that show was a film date too, along with omaha, and i can tell they used some of the footage from that show in the live medly of eraser/hurt/wish on closure from the wide shots. totally the sioux falls arena.

oh well, im sure once tr gets back into the groove of performing with htda, itll only be a matter of time before we get another nin tour. thats how it always happens, said artist 'retires' from playing live, gets talked into doing a festival or short tour, and gets bitten by the "performance" bug.

[allegro]

I think most artists enjoy performing.

It's the monotonous TOURING that is supposedly mostly no fun.

Unless you're Sting and you use private jets and schedule 3-day breaks between each show and you take your brood and three nannies with you during a school break.

(Or you only do, say, 5 shows and that's it for the year.)

[Trains]

After all, for as transparent as Trent has been with his fans, there's probably a lot we DON'T know about him.

I've always thought Trent's stage act is quite sincere and I doubt he has to play it up much. I'm sure I've heard him say in the past that playing certain songs takes him back to the place he was when he wrote them. And I imagine that was one of the main reasons he decided to stop touring; you know, if he was getting married and planning a new life around that then I can't imagine him wanting to keep playing all these songs that make him feel shit on stage. And his recent work with HTDA and Atticus has certainly been a lot less aggressive and angsty. I kind of doubt we'll see NIN again as they were, and if they do tour again I think Trent will pull a 'Bowie' and resign from playing most (if not all) of the old songs. TBH I can't really imagine him wanting to go back to singing songs that are potentially going to bring up a lot of old shit for him.

(Not that I wouldn't kill for a chance to see them play And All That Could Have Been live........)

[botley]

Bowie didn't really stop playing old songs (http://bowiesongs.tumblr.com/post/29900916399/did-bowie-really-retire-his-oldies), he just paused his solo career to work with Tin Machine (which pointedly ignored his back catalogue). Eventually, he went back to conventional touring after a couple of years, beginning with the 1995 Outside/NIN tour, though for a while after that his band played old tunes as revamped arrangements to better fit in with the then-contemporary music he was making. Maybe HTDA will do the same with NIN's old stuff, à la the 2006 radio show sessions with Peter Murphy.

Or like Devin Townsend did with the Retinal Circus performance a few days ago. He had disbanded Strapping Young Lad six years ago, yet he did bring SYL guitarist Jed Simon as a surprise guest performer for the night and they played two SYL songs along with the rest of the Devin Townsend Project band.

[thefragile_jake]

Actually they didn't all sell out in presale, unless I'm confusing sales. I was in the first 500 for the presale for the 8/29 show and a few weeks later more tickets went on sale and I got a pair for 8/28 then.

I think you may have been confusing sales, of course I don't want to put words in your mouth or anything. I just remember thinking I would just get my girlfriend and I at the time's hotel that Friday that the presale happened and the next thing I knew, that Saturday when I was checking out ETS everyone was talking about how all the tickets were gone. I remember being really pissed off at this as it's been something I never forgave myself for. haha. I had to cancel the hotel and everything.


I agree with Jake a couple posts back, in regards to the touring from 05-09. i only saw nin once during that period, and that was during the lights in the sky tour. the closest they came to me on the ninja tour was kansas city and i kick myself to this day for not going, because they opened that show with now im freakin nothing (favorite song from phm era).

aside from the lits tour, the only other time i saw em was back in 2000 on fragility 2.0, in minneapolis. april 17th if i remember correctly, because maynard (apc opened) said something to the effect of "its my birthday, and if you want to do someting for me, go home after the show, put on an elton john record, and masturbate till you pass out"

they played my hometown on sioux falls back in the day on the 2nd leg of the self destruct tour, but i was in middle school at the time and dint really listen to any music at all. i know that show was a film date too, along with omaha, and i can tell they used some of the footage from that show in the live medly of eraser/hurt/wish on closure from the wide shots. totally the sioux falls arena.

oh well, im sure once tr gets back into the groove of performing with htda, itll only be a matter of time before we get another nin tour. thats how it always happens, said artist 'retires' from playing live, gets talked into doing a festival or short tour, and gets bitten by the "performance" bug.

Yeah, I was only 13 when they came to St. Louis for the Fragility tour and although I would discover and love the band incredibly just a year later I don't think my parents were too okay with most of the lyrical content enough to take me to a concert where their 13 year old son would be yelling "STARFUCKERS!!". I have amazing parents though, haha.

I really hope that after this HTDA stuff that Trent does get bitten by a "performance" bug, even if it's not a full tour and only a couple of cities...I will make damn sure that I travel and get to see NIN live one more time. Rollinger, the KC show was pretty amazing...although I wish I would've been able to hear more rarities from that tour like Metal, Americans and such it was really awesome to get Now I'm Nothing, (which in every YT video of the song you can hear my warrior cry of excitement when the drums kick in), Piggy (Nothing Can Stop Me Now), The Becoming, Way Out Is Through and Physical..

I've long suspected Trent of being somewhat of a charlatan. I believe he played up some of his psychological weaknesses to attract a certain market. Also, to say that Trent was doing this purely for the art of it would be a lie as he obviously cares about profits.
That is not called being a charlatan. That is called not being a complete moron. Only morons share every aspect of themselves with the world. And is it really something to figure out. He has said in many interviews that most of the happier and positive parts of his life he keeps to himself. And people who do art purely for art without trying to make money don't have careers they have hobbies.

That show was phenomenal, and he's already writing two more albums! Dude's a beast.

[seasonsinthesky]

Bowie didn't really stop playing old songs (http://bowiesongs.tumblr.com/post/29900916399/did-bowie-really-retire-his-oldies), he just paused his solo career to work with Tin Machine (which pointedly ignored his back catalogue). Eventually, he went back to conventional touring after a couple of years, beginning with the 1995 Outside/NIN tour, though for a while after that his band played old tunes as revamped arrangements to better fit in with the then-contemporary music he was making. Maybe HTDA will do the same with NIN's old stuff, à la the 2006 radio show sessions with Peter Murphy.

i love the rework of "The Man Who Sold the World" from those days. it's stunning.

and i think there are lots of recent NIN songs that would work as is for HTDA, but it'd also be interesting to see stuff redone like "Reptile" from the aforementioned 2006 radio sessions.

A number of things. Tweaking some things for the HTDA full LP (coming in Spring), helping Josh out on a new QOTSA track, working with Roy, starting rehearsals for two bands.





But the Rolling Stone article is making me believe he might already have a new NIN album finished!

[scorpiusdiamond]

I think the real question is:
Is "poop." the new "soon."...?

[thefragile_jake]

Originally I was thinking that the cryptic "2013" might be addressing what How to Destroy Angels might be doing for a full show experience...but the fact that it was addressed during a Lights in the Sky/Nine Inch Nails question has me all excited!

[scorpiusdiamond]

Um, you know QOTSA are coming back next year...
and Trent worked on a QOTSA song...
I missed that tour, being the uninformed teenager that I was... could we hope for it to return, with Grohl in tow?

[ibanez33]

If Trent and Dave tour with QOTSA I will fucking die.

Simply be responding with the words "Yes please." before anyone else could comment on one of Trent's responses on his AMA, my reddit comment karam jumped up into the thousands.

[Shnoorum]

I posted a few question to Trent but sadly no answer. One in particular is killing me. I'm almost positive it's a no but does anyone know if this actually has anything to do with NIN? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4bsEgZrw-Y

Heard it ages ago and ever since I've been trying to track down who in the hell did it. It sounds similar to Trents style but I reeeeeeeeally doubt it is. I'd say it sounds more like Boards of Canada to NIN to be honest. 100% confirmation would be nice though. Maybe someday I'll find out who the hell did it...

Allow me to say with conviction: I can confirm with 100% certainty that this has nothing to do with Trent Reznor.

[Shnoorum]

I suppose that makes sense. Would easily be mistaken somewhere along the lines through chinese whispers. I remember finding it uploaded there by one of the users but the date it was uploaded to the NIN remix site was after the track was uploaded to youtube although It's entirely possible that its from someone else on the site and that person just stole it for credit. Regardless, it's a very pretty track


Allow me to say with conviction: I can confirm with 100% certainty that this has nothing to do with Trent Reznor.

Thank you sir. I was always pretty certain that was the case but a good ol' 100% confirmation never hurt. Almost became obsessed with finding out who did it when I first heard it. Gonna have to trawl through remix.nin to see if I can find the original uploader at some point

Yes. Plus: I remember him saying in interviews about The Slip that he got into making this album because he at least wanted to have a new song or EP out for the run of shows he had already booked (which became the LITS tour). Also, we know he's been in the studio with Alessandro and Atticus while HTDA's debut was already (almost) finished by the beginning of the year. It certainly would feel strange if he'd start touring again with the exact same batch of songs as last time - especially considering his words from said Rolling Stone article: "I never said that that wasn't going to happen, just that it couldn't go on as it was."

[jessamineny]

Yeah, he'll have a hard enough time explaining why he's going back out on tour less than four years later. (Not that *I* will complain.) There will have to be new music backing a tour.

[Chuck]

I'd hope for not just new music, but a completely different way of presenting NIN. Trent mentione once about how he wanted to tour Europe with a string quartet. Something like tha, or something equally different and fresh, would be really good. To bring back a relatively similar version of NIN, so soon after saying an indefinite good bye, would be a bit anti-climatic I think.

[sukey]

If Trent and Dave tour with QOTSA I will fucking die.
I highly doubt this will happen, but if it did, I swear I would stop at NOTHING to go to one of the shows.

[Highly Psychological]

I want Dave to tour with NIN for a bit, Dave plus Robin Finck, Danny Lohner, Allesandro Cortini, that would be a powerful line up!

Same thoughts here. Everyone talks about the past, refers new songs with old songs. Please...., the past was another era with other emotions.
Look to the future exploring new things, new sounds and new limits.

Ooh yes. At the Royal Albert Hall. Picture that.

Fans have brought up the idea of a Trent + piano tour many times before, and I swear at one point (I think on The Spiral) he said he liked the idea. When he's too old to run around stage throwing guitar players into the crowd, I'd love to see a show like that.

Call me close-minded, but I'd hate to see that. Seems like a lost opportunity to see the real NIN.

However, I also hate the fact that Trent would probably pull this off in a way that you'd HAVE to go and see this because it would be so good.

[Endlessly]

Throw in champagne and evening gowns... A black tie affair? le sigh

I can see it now: beautiful gowns, sharp suits...it'll all go so nicely, covered in cornstarch.

[jessamineny]

When the Beastie Boys toured in 2007 for The Mix-Up, they would do two shows in each market. One night was a regular show in a large venue; the second night was in a concert hall setting with instrumentals, acoustics and stripped-down songs. For those "Gala Events," they encouraged people to "dress to impress," and some people really did show up in tuxes and evening gowns. I thought it was a really creative (and exciting) way to structure a tour.

[butter_hole]

. Also, we know he's been in the studio with Alessandro and Atticus while HTDA's debut was already (almost) finished by the beginning of the year.
wasnt that for that remix thing they did?

[jessamineny]

Why would he call Ally into the studio to help remix one song for a minor band? It's more likely that they were all already working on something together when that came across his desk, and they teamed up on that, too.

[BRoswell]

I don't see why he wouldn't do that, though. Maybe they asked them to do the remix and Trent thought it would be a good idea to bring him in on it (you can certainly hear his style on it). Sure, they might have worked on some other stuff (I'm sure Alessandro will be on the next Ghosts record), but it's not a definite thing.

That Peter Gabriel mix is one of the best Trent has ever done. Another one of my favorite's is the Puff Daddy victory remix. Badass when Busta Rhymes comes in and it has Trent all over the place. Strange combo of styles, but it works somehow.
