NIN with Soundgarden - summer 2014 amphitheatre NA tour

[jcs420x365]

re: matt cameron's involvement, the exact statement he made last november:



but then last week the itunes festival superunknown announcement:



so, who knows if thats just a one off or not. hopefully they just realized how ridiculous it would be to play without him and just made it work somehow.

only fill in drummer that would be remotely close to acceptable is josh freese

I am too lazy to find the link I saw last week, but iTunes Festival is a one off for Matt Cameron. They still have a fill-in doing their summer dates.

So far they're doing it at SXSW iTunes. That's all we know.

I'd be surprised if TR revisited TDS in full. He's been there/done that, and people can see a full concert of it on the Web (and he's talked about giving people something fresh with each leg, because of that "Net effect").

Interesting given that when the whole relaunch news dropped last year they talked about revamped setlists and altered song structures....and the net result has been basically the same songs we've seen time and time again for several years with hesitation marks tracks sprinkled in.

Sanctified sounds different.

NIN/ Soundgarden /Death Grips
Aug 5 - Farm Bureau Live @ Virginia Beach, VA
Ticket prices: $38.50 - $117.30


*edit - listing already gone. It mentioned something about a Soundgarden Fan Club presale but no word on when.

also billed as "Nine Inch Nails | Soundgarden" so this looks to be a co-headline tour, if that was ever a question.

Listing still visible here, for now:

Death Grips? Never heard of them. Any good?

[gorast]

Will they show up this time?

And now Death Grips? Wow. Soundgarden + NIN + Death Grips. This is probably a dream...too good to be true.

[Kid Charlemagne]

If Death Grips is indeed the opener, I WILL LOSE MY SHIT!

[richardp]

Death Grips opening!?

I am now 100% sold on this tour.

[fillow]

Well, to each his own, I guess. Death Grips is awful, in my opinion. (Not as awful as Cold Cave tho).

[richardp]

Death Grips are an acquired taste, but are easily, without a doubt, the most original and inventive "hip hop" act, if you can even call them that, in quite some time.

[imail724]

If this is true I will have a much easier time paying the inevitably insane price tickets will be.

[Kid Charlemagne]

Well, to each his own, I guess. Death Grips is awful, in my opinion. (Not as awful as Cold Cave tho).

I happen to love both acts.

So there goes any sense to this not going to be NIN headlining. Co-headlining tour, I'm guessing we get 90 minute sets by both Soundgarden and NIN.

NIN and QotSA have got 80 minute sets each on the tour they're doing now.

[ophelia_]

Sanctified sounds different.

They've been doing this version of Sanctified for a while now, haven't they?

[NINisamazing]

Deathgrips are great, but dont care about soundgarden. Plus we are probably going to get a shorter nin set.

I dont know about this tour. If the tickets are not 100$ maybe I will go.

[Kid Charlemagne]

NIN and QotSA have got 80 minute sets each on the tour they're doing now.

Yeah, but on NINJA, both bands got 90 minutes.

[Digital_Man]

Death grips?! Oh my god yes.

[gorny540]

Death Grips would be AWESOME as an opener, but yeah August is a long ways away, I'd be very surprised if they show up to all their scheduled dates.

[ericy210]

If Death Grips is indeed the opener, I WILL LOSE MY SHIT!

I already lost mine! Holy balls! Now to clean up my mess.....

[Fixer808]

Yup, it sounds awesome live.

[richardp]

Death Grips would be AWESOME as an opener, but yeah August is a long ways away, I'd be very surprised if they show up to all their scheduled dates.

I would imagine that they were locked in very very tightly to their contract upon joining the tour.

[nobies]

NiN/Soundgarden/Death Grips is pretty much a personal cream dream. Saw DG play at Bonnaroo and it was a goddamn slaughter. Yall are in for a treat.

[bobbie solo]

Fuck those dudes. Their "music" is complete nonsense, i don't buy the controversy surrounding their leaks/major label drama for a second (it's all staged imo), & the lack of respect for their fans is disgusting. I'm actually surprised Trent would want to bring out a bunch of clowns that purposefully shit on their fans like this, considering the level of respect Trent has shown towards the fans since 2005. That shit is just unlistenable to me too.

[Joy Prevention Hotline]

I’m not familiar with Death Grips’ reputation, just the music. That’s enough for me to like the idea.

So, we're approaching Friday the 14th (The supposive on sale date for these tickets) with no official announcement yet.
Anyone else get the feeling they are scrapping the nin.com fan pre-sale for this tour, or do you think the on sale date is being pushed back a week to the 21st now to accomodate an official announcement and a pre-sale?

Something's either coming today and if not, next week.

[sick among the pure]

I can't see Trent scrapping the pre-sale, since the reason behind it is to help keep the tickets in fans' hands, and help prevent absurd scalping.

[GulDukat]

Trent and Soundgarden doing a song together would be pretty sweet. A duet on "Slaves and Bulldozers" please.

It has obviously been pushed back. There is no way they would announce dates and then 2 dates later they go on sale. No band does this.
They are probably doing last minute changes, adding cities/venues (fingers crossed for a NC date) so lets all be patient.
