Random NIN Thoughts

[Sarah K]

I always think that too these days. He was amazing to watch when I saw him with NIN

I prefer Robin as a guitarist. But there is no denying Aaron's talent and showmanship.

I keep hoping for an article about how he was able to get help, and got everything on the rigbt track. :/

What's wrong with him? I don't know much about the guy. Did enjoy his contribution/style/presence during the With Teeth/Beside You In Time era.

On the next tour, Trent will play drums and Ilan will sing lead vocals. Sean Beavan will also rejoin to sing backing vocals from behind the stage.

Nah, Trent's gonna find a third instrument to make Ilan play during MotP.

And now this 4 piece thing with soundgarden...sigh.

I just watched the Chile Lollapalooza video and while some tracks definitely stood out, I too will be pretty bummed if it's just the four-piece band when they come back around North America. I think the pendulum for change (or saving money) swung a bit too far post-Tension. Hopefully it swings back by this summer.

Even if they can't bring the visuals, the ACL show proved that when the band is that strong the visuals aren't even necessary. I hope we get a strong band.

(We'll need it after Soundgarden. )

I'm watching BYIT right now. Seeing Aaron is making me sad. I hope that he gets well.

Loved his jamming style for "Big Come Down." Love Finck, but Aaron is certainly missed.

Having just finished watching the Brazil show, I won’t really mind if they don’t change the band dynamics up (although Burn really needed another guitar). It’ll still be awesome.

Even this version of Sanctified adds some new and interesting things (Robin’s synth was prominent enough that I can finally tell he’s playing the Sunspots solo — hope you jerks are happy now ).

Can’t ignore the absence of Sharlotte and Lisa in Sanctified and All Time Low, but is it just my imagination or do Trent’s vocals on Me, I’m Not have some Tension-like stuff going on that weren’t there before? I’ll have to go back to the Reading show to compare…

Actually, Alessandro plays that part.

I would have thought so, but it didn’t look that way in the video. Maybe Robin was doing something else.

It's Ally. Go to 15:30 in this video:



I realize that's during Tension, but the fact that Ally plays it hasn't changed for the latest tour.

[FULLMETAL]

Ally posted in another forum back in November about how he uses the MS20: Monophonic lines/bass and Arpeggiated midi triggered parts, mostly for songs off the new record (copy of a, running, I would for you, while I'm still here, all time low).
I also use it to play the synth line from "sunspots" in the outro to the reworked version of "sanctified".

I had to go back and watch it a couple of times to be sure. Robin was onscreen rocking out on his synth during the solo (which you can also see in the ACL video), but all they showed of Ally was a hand on a knob. Misleading camera work.

Funny that I can hear the Sunspots melody in the ACL video now too — it kept blending in with Robin’s part in my head. Visually and aurally, I guess…

Or maybe it was just the change in my medication. o_O

Discipline playing while watching the video for Only. I haven't tried it yet, but in my head it feels like it should work.

EDIT: Holy shit, it works. I think it fits pretty well (sort of). I especially like the part where the video syncs up with the "I don't know where I end/and where you begin" line in Discipline. Also the way the song fades out and everything in the video settling down works really well in my opinion.

I did it by playing the video on Youtube and Discipline playing in iTunes, so results may vary depending on how everyone else tries it.

I don't know if this is a thought or a spotting.

Sexyback came on at the gym the other day, and all I could think of is this. Most of you have probably heard this before, but if not, it is a goddamn masterpiece.

I tried to bring sexy back but those bastards at Walmart told me I needed a receipt.

Pro tip: Walmart isn't associated with sexy in any way, shape or form. You were trying to bring sexy back to the wrong store. That's why you were having problems.

Should have checked the expiration date on your sexy.

[Kyle]

The expiration date was fine. I was just trying to save some money with the GreatValue brand.

Why you gotta bet cutting cheap on your sexy? You got the Great Value brand! Time to trade up at Target.

Back on topic, 1,000,000 used to be my alarm. Now it's the Becoming.

No, I need something a little more aggressive. Something like, wake the fuck up!!!!!

[Kyle]

I used to have a snippet of the song "Wake Up" by RATM as my alarm. Specifically the part where he's screaming "WAKE UP!!!"

[howdidislipinto]

My alarm is Tetsuo. Sounds like a joke, but seriously. I need to be ripped awake, because I can sleep through near anything.

(Luckily this only happens once a week for my early class. 5 times a week would probably get traumatic.)

Haha, I have "Wake Up" by Emigrate (Rammsteni side-project) as mine. It always works.

Case in point (listen to the first 3 seconds...) -





NEVER FAILS!

That used to be my alarm as well. Before that, it was the "buzzsaw" from Gave Up.

track 09 Ghosts I..... I could listen to this on repeat forever..
