After prolonged hours of listening, I'm certain Everything is about your first time at a gay bar
I've always thought that selling purchased copies for half price was decent, but that's just awesome, considering how that's almost like one third of the original retail price plus tax. If anything, it seems more like a win-win situation if people sold sealed CDs and vinyl at half price, or even less in your case. Good on you, indeed.![]()

I just got my copy of Ghosts on vinyl! It's so beautiful...
It seems like this guy could've used ETS at the time. Anyway, I thought seeing just a sealed copy of With Teeth on vinyl was pretty cool. I'd definitely like a copy of it some day as well.
Every time I eat spinach dip, chips with cream cheese and salsa or something naught like that at work, The Perfect Drug runs through my head. Fat girl problems
Mmmm, cream cheese.
All this time, I had no idea that nin.com had a banner that changed every day for this tour. I haven't been going on nin.com that often. Is there any way I can see all the past banners, or not possible? Maybe someone has been documenting them?
I don't really like Satellite all that much, but I love listening to it just to hear the "clap" part before the chorus. It's similar to the beginning of 10 Ghosts II
Listening to a Lollapalooza 1991 show and Trent had a pretty hilarious line during Get Down, Make Love. During the part where he says "I suck your mind, you suck my head" instead he says it as "I suck your mind! You suck my dick!" and I had to skip back to hear it again cause it caught me off guard.

This has always occurred to me, but it also reminds me why I'm still a long-term fan of Nine Inch Nails. I've always loved how his albums are often, if not always guaranteed to satisfy me back-to-back. There hasn't been an album that didn't satisfy me less than halfway through, as I ended up liking most of the songs from even my least favorite albums. I know not every experience with musicians' releases is like this, but to me, Nine Inch Nails is one of those sure-fire guarantees for satisfaction as far as full-length LPs go once most of them click with you. This is nothing new to many fans, but it's always a pleasure to see it being one of the biggest and best reasons to guarantee a long-term and dedicated fan-base.
Nothing can stop me now.
God damn, I want With Teeth, Year Zero and The Fragile on vinyl.
Unfortunately, I do not shit money.
Nothing can crop me now
Cuz I've no hair anymore

I would be nice if they revived the old NIN: Access app for this tour. Make an Android version for the Android users as well.
Because I'm bored: NIN song titles that aren't in the lyrics — ignoring instrumentals (duh), remixes and covers. Apologies if this has been done before.
(… Oh, fuck it. I'm not sorry at all.)
• Heresy
• The Downward Spiral
• Somewhat Damaged
• The Way Out is Through
• Into the Void
• I'm Looking Forward to Joining You, Finally
• Home
• The Good Soldier
• Vessel
• The Greater Good
• Various Methods of Escape
The TDS tracks are pretty borderline. "Heresy" describes the content of the song well enough that you could match the track with the song title, and personally I'd call TDS an instrumental that has some spoken words on top. But at least Heresy fits better than The Becoming or Eraser, which just change verbs into nouns, or BMWAG.
The Good Soldier is another one like Heresy. I don't count Zero-Sum because half of it is easily identifiable in the lyrics.
I leave Echoplex and Demon Seed off the list for the same reason as Zero-Sum.
BONUS! Albums that aren't named after a song on the album:
• Pretty Hate Machine
• Broken
• Things Falling Apart
• Year Zero
• The Slip
• Hesitation Marks
I don't count Fixed, FDTS, Still or YZR because they all play off the preceding album title (TFA is less obvious). And Still could just as easily be based on Gone, Still for that matter.
That reminded me of imagining a complete list of Nine Inch Nails songs that have absolutely no profanities on them. It always came up to me when I thought about the Nine Inch Nails & Children thread I made here and NIN.com, along with the other threads I've seen about exposing children to Nine Inch Nails in the old ETS.
It really would be something if they had that kind of list up there though. I also should've seen that coming, and I might also do just that.![]()
I also didn't want to forget to say this, so I thought of posting it right now.
I used to think that The Fragile was the first Nine Inch Nails album to receive a lot of criticisms, controversies, and complaints from the NIN fan-base, until I've learned from far more knowledgeable and older fans that lots of NIN fans have reacted that way ever since Broken came out.
This really made me wonder if there were fans that followed Trent Reznor through Option 30, Exotic Birds, Slam Bamboo, and the Purest Feeling era that had a "WTF kind of shit is this?" reaction to Pretty Hate Machine. If by any chance you've followed him in any era before Pretty Hate Machine came out, have you also seen that happen from other fans, or even yourself?
And to also add to early NIN thoughts, are there lots of Guns N' Roses fans that booed him back in 1991 fans now? That would be quite the coincidence, and yet a very believable one at that, as I could see Broken and The Downward Spiral winning them over. That question also came to mind, as it just makes me wonder. (And not that it has to be answered, but I just found it interesting to think about.)

I'd like to see a complete NIN lyric sheet with every song filled with profanities TR used in live versions over the years. "This world never give me a chance. Mother fucker gonna have to pay" etc
Doubtful that anyone was following him in those days, but Trent did say that when they were doing some early touring (probably Lollapalooza in 1991), people who went out and bought the album were disappointed with the somewhat neutered (to their ears) sound of the album as opposed to the way the music was being presented live at that time. So, you see, we NIN fans have been a bunch of butt-hurt malcontents right from the beginning, LOL.
