Apparently it was the live debut of Hand Covers Bruise.
^^Oh my God, that would be amazing!
The horse has been beat so much it whimpers every time someone says “setlist.” (And that’s a good trick for a horse that’s DEAD.)
Absent someone who actually knows how long a show typically runs there — or any circumstances that might’ve cut this one shorter than the usual — we should limit ourselves to bitching about the song selection.
The horse just quivered again.
If those short instragram clips are representative, it sounds like they’re messing with the songs, if not so much the setlist.
Makes sense that TR would take advantage of Ilan’s multi-instrumental abilities — I wonder why he waited so long.
THTF is the HLAH for the new-era, so you might as well complain for the latter.
Only is (usually) overplayed on regular tours ('cept Tension), but would be a fine song to rotate instead of ejecting entirely. The album version of Only is one of the most boring NIN-experience for me. I always imagine a bored monkey playing those drums with a "yea, whatever, I'm paid for this shit, so shut up" face.
By the way, pro-tip: maybe don't cancel your summer shows, but schedule your earlier ones later, so you not only not fuck up some of your fans, but you'll also have more time to rehearse. Well, soon enough we'll know if they could rehearse properly or not.
Giving a guitar for example to your drummer needs some serious planning. Playing a song with 1 guitar instead of 2 is a much more subtle change than playing a song without drums.
That being said, he started experimenting with the "fuck drums" during Perf.2007
When are the japs gonna upload some youtube videos?
Someone I know just confirmed that it was indeed "Hand Covers Bruise" played (was not on the hard copy of the setlist pictured earlier)
Just an abbreviation my friend. No offense meant. Chill.
Yes! I was debating if it was "Hand Covers Bruise" or "What If We Could" and I went with the latter by mistake. Thanks for the confirmation!!
Did anyone record Alessandro's set from last night?
Saw some of the videos in the Tokyo event thread on the Tour Journal. I'm digging it but this is only Day 1. Here's hoping with a more electronic emphasis, we can get The Becoming complete with Robot Jox sample in all it's disturbing glory.
Wow, the audio on those videos is amazing.
Sounds like Robin’s guitar on Wish is going through the same “circular” effect (for want of a better word) they used for the bridge in In Two. With only two guitars — I wonder when’s the last time that ever happened? — I guess you can give it more texture. Might even be necessary.
God, Japanese crowds are just so INTO IT. I wish American crowds could conjure up the same enthusiasm.
You’re right. No synths, just the background noise that’s probably run by the sound guy.
And on second listen, I’m thinking the cycling effect is actually applied to the noise rather than the guitar(s). Makes me wonder if it’s alway been like that, and I’m just hearing stuff normally covered up by the Wall of Guitar.™
Hand Covers Bruise / Beside You In Time
Sweet. At least now there's a live debut in the set, which instantly makes the set 17,8% better.
Wow. Love how it transitions into Beside You In Time.
that's because british people are mostly white, un-oppressed, and the abbreviation has no deeper meaning than being a quicker way to say "british person."
the word that was used is a derogatory slur against japanese people, which, if i remember correctly, came into common usage during world war II, when japanese americans were being discriminated against heavily, and, you know, put into camps.
Once again, no offense meant. It's not like I said "upload the youtube videos you damn japs". I sincerely meant it as an abbreviation and hope the thread doesn't get derailed by it.
I'm off to watch the HCB/BYIT video. I expect greatness.
I like the way how HCB is transformed into BYIT. I think that HCB will replace "WIWC?" as the soundtrack-related-song in 2014. And man... this bass - it sounds incredibly awesome!
PS. I'm looking for Grammy rehearsals audio (NIN+QOTSA) ripped from the original source... A PM with a link would be great. :-)
They just posted a picture on Instagram with some tapes.. one has "Vessel" written on it.
