Random NIN Thoughts

[Erneuert]

NIN songs that I didn't like before, but that I like now.

- Underneath It All
- Demon Seed

Come to think of it, Underneath It All into Demon Seed would sound great live.

i wear my “we’re in this together 2020” hat quite a bit still and today the guy behind the counter read it. i said “the song” and he said everyone was saying it in 2020…. i was like oh this band (pointing to nin logo) put this hat out that year because they have a song called that. he said he’d listen to it. i can’t wait for him to hear it. i should’ve gotten his info so i could follow up. like i can’t even imagine what he thinks it will sound like based on that one line but i bet you it’s nothing like whatever he thought.

speaking of that hat...why is it so tall? I remember hats that were domes to fit your head into and now they're this monstrosity that sticks up.

Old man yelling at clouds, I guess.

I got absolutely bamboozled by this today

I like how they have a Gen X/Millenial day and a boomer day haha

[bobbie solo]

That's so cool that they got the Beatles. That musta been hard.

I wonder if the next NIN album will be more concerned with things that could have been, or more about things that used to be.

But Thin Lizzy / Kiss are on the NIN day and the Pumpkins and Radiohead play with Elvis. I'd say it's a good mix of both.

I love this YouTube channel so much

Honestly, if that were real, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Even if you remove the bands that couldn't possibly be there, a festival with NIN, Ghost, Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins, and Rage Against the Machine would be incredible.

Probably about as hard as booking Nirvana.

coz they’re fitting all those words on there. “together” is a lot of real estate.

lol fair enough.

When I got it, my wife said it looked like a black MAGA hat with how tall it is and it put me off it for awhile.

my experience is MAGA doesn’t like the hat. i’ve had a few run ins and well, all i need to know about someone is how they react to the hat. its a good screening tool for randoms.

If/when they tour again I wish he’d pull Right Where it Belongs out the vault… the stripped down version or an adaptation of the album version. Either way, bring it back Trent I’m begging you lol

Amen. It hits me even harder than Hurt does, sometimes.

I also LOVE In This Twilight with Zero Sum outro as a closer, too: for me, that song is dark but hopeful.

the ending never feels as LOUD as i want it to (especially the album version). with the extreme dynamics of the quiet bridge of "with teeth" coming back to the loud part, i always want that same effect for BYIT :/

Wait, you mean RWIB? Or BYIT?

The loud part coming in on BYIT, like a fucking dam of emotion and feeling just, exploding, is absolutely one of my favourite NIN moments.

And goddamnit, I've never seen BYIT, live. I was too drunk for the With Teeth tour...not the Dallas date, but ALL of the dates...and the next couple of years.
That was my "Leaving Las Vegas" phase.
