    I listen to the Only 12 inch with remixes by EL-P and Richard X quite often. Only is great song.

    They're also on the CD single for Every Day Is Exactly The Same... but I gotta say, some of the live performances of Only are also really quite good (LITS).

    This is definitely going to be a Closure/Woodstock 1994 weekend for me. Those seem to be the ultimate/perfect videos to commemorate The Downward Spiral with. (That is, aside from the 2009 performance of The Downward Spiral in its entirety at the Webster Hall in New York City.)

    I've also got to say, that as fascinated as I already am about the overall journey/transition/aftermath of The Downward Spiral to The Fragile to With Teeth, it makes me even more grateful to have Closure, And All That Could Have Been (Live) and Beside You In Time accompany them. Perhaps I'll also watch those videos on The Fragile and With Teeth anniversaries as well.

    It makes it even more perfect for me, since for me, the TDS anniversary is on a Friday, and the TF anniversary will be on a Saturday and the PHM anniversary will be on a Sunday.

    In general, it's okay, but certain things are best left frozen in the 80s (like hair); for example, I can't stand "Closer to the Heart" played with those Simmons E-drums and Wal bass... and that harmonizer effect on the guitar solo... ick.

    Well, aren't I a bit older than you?
    I haven't watched that vid since I was a teenager. I was watching it over and over on VHS from like, 91 to 96- I was a Rush FANATIC, and the eighties were fairly recent at that point. I was watching it from 7th grade to 10th grade.
    For the record, I FAR prefer more recent rush concert vids now, so, in a way, you and me, we agree. I'm reaching for the Alien Shore.

    /End Drift

    SO. YEah. I want an NIN VIDEO. I NEVER listen to official live albums, aside from a handful of INSANELY iconic recordings, like nirvana unplugged. The visuals are a MaSSIVE part of what "live" means for me, ESPECIALLY with an act like NIN.
    I can already hear the argument against what I'm saying: hell, I could write it.
    But these are just my (ultimately inconsequential) opinions.

    I'm finally listening to the 5.1 mix of With Teeth out of curiosity and holy shit. I need to find a way to listen to the TDS one now I think. I have the remaster with the SACD disc but I have absolutely no idea what to do with it, or if I even have the ability to play back the SACD layer.

    A show of hands is my favorite rush live album, the versions of subdivisons, marathon and witch Hunt are stellar.

    I know I'm just repeating what's already on most fans' minds, but it always obviously helped that The Downward Spiral and With Teeth are among my most favorite Nine Inch Nails albums. I totally understand, not just a fellow fan, but the fact that it's the ultimate rare case and pleasant surprise of adding more to love on something that was already a lot to love.

    While I see what you mean as much as I sometimes still like to collect DVDs, I still enjoy listening to And All That Could Have Been (Live) on CD. At the same time though, I'm all for it, as I loved Closure, And All That Could Have Been (Live) and Beside You In Time videos. The visuals are definitely a given and always a reminder that visuals are a tremendous part of NIN's music. On the other hand, sometimes I like to separate the visuals from the audio to see how it holds up. (And hold up it does and then some, but it's also just another form of getting enjoyment out of music to me. I even do this with albums as somebody that also still sometimes like to collect CDs, while appreciating their artwork and liner notes.)

    I've also, and as I'm sure as many other fans have thought of, was wondering about this since 2009. I hope it finally happens some day. I mean, yeah. I can only hope, dream and wish. But I completely agree nonetheless.

    Very lucky. I always wished for a deal like that on Still. Happy listening.

    I feel really, really, really stupid for not realizing that the middle of WT isn't silent. I just found out less than a week ago about the absolute gold that's in the middle of the song awithateeha.

    Sony is the only major company that makes Blu-ray players with SACD capability. I think even some PlayStations have them too.

    I found out by happenstance and was so happy for it, despite not having a surround system at the time. Now I do and I've enjoyed listening to the SACD's I've bought, even though I have to switch some wires around to do it.

    I've been wondering, since I haven't held an actual vinyl in my hands, but know a bit or two about stuff and things and whatnot...

    Do you think Bad Witch has hidden music in the label itself? A la Lazaretto?

    I don't know if the kind of texture I've seen on Bad Witch's photos ( https://img.discogs.com/l9dw-T1utF3U...-9459.jpeg.jpg ) is normal in all vinyls, but I haven't seen it, at least, in other vinyl photos.

    Anyone willing to fuck up their copy of Bad Witch for the sake of science?

    Nah, that's a pretty normal texture on vinyl. I wouldn't recommend trying anything with it.

    I have both versions of TDS and the SACD is the way to go. I use a Sony 5 disc DVD changer I bought in 2004/5 that i still use to this day.

    The 2017 DE remaster is my preference on my phone or laptop or wearing headphones or whatever but from now on the surround sound mix is my new favourite way to listen to it when possible thankfully I got my PC hooked up to a decent 5.1 system and a proper soundcard so that's a fairly easy way to go for the surround sound version. Would I get crucified for revealing I ended up finding a way to listen to it via a ISO rip of the SACD and playing it through foobar2000 with a plugin? Like I said I already own the SACD so that's my justification :P

    Maybe it is just me, but the bassline (or guitar, i'm not very good with instruments) to Eraser sounds a lot like My Sharona. Crazy it took me 25 years to hear this

    A few NIN songs sound like My Sharona

    If we're thinking of the same part, it's just two notes alternating between an octave. Still funny, though.

    No, the part the OP refers to is not actually the bassline, it's the synth melody.

    Random NIN Thoughts

    One of these days I’m gonna flip to the 2nd picture on that eBay listing for Closer and finally see that sweet, sweet white Further Away disk. Any day now... I can feel it.

    Between 15-20 years ago, a friend and I were browsing through a local used record shop. They also had a bunch of CDs. My friend comes up to me and says shows me a copy of Closer To God, saying "Hey, you like NIN, right? Look what I found". It was the white disc, and was extremely cheap (iirc about £4). I told him it was pretty rare, and he immediately then went to the counter to buy it. He knew I was a huge NIN fan, yet he bought it for himself.

    I think he may have been a huge asshole.
