Okay, I'll make my confession but be warned - this wasn't one of my finest moments and I only did it once.
Back in 2006, I couldn't get a decent ticket for the NIN show at the Germain Amphitheater in Columbus, Ohio. It was during a run of 5 shows and I already made travel plans, so I had to get a ticket. I ended up buying a lawn seat and then doing the unthinkable. I photoshopped the GA lawn ticket into a GA PIT ticket.
I'm not proud of it, but fuck sitting way in the back for a show.
*edit*
Here's the ticket. I think I still have the original files on an old HD.

Hahaha. WOW.
P.S. - What do you do for work that allows you so much time off to travel around?
That's hysterical! Don't they scan tickets at the pit now to avoid this tomfoolery?
They probably just scan it when you walk in. Then you're like GOIN' TO THE LAWN LOL But you actually just go to the pit... They aren't going to re-scan your ticket there, and you just have to show them that it says "pit".
Golden.
9/10 I listen to NIN it is live recordings. First cd was AATCHB at 14. I don't think I would have become such a die hard NIN fan if I had listened to the PHM terrible lie before AATCHB terrible lie.
I've just been looking into the YZ ARG and bethehammer.net is my current wank fodder.
First Post!
This just has to count in some ways, especially after what Trent Reznor himself had said about it.

I bought this very version of Pretty Hate Machine a few times as present ever since it came out.

The biggest reason for doing this was because I've always liked to start new fans with brand new sealed copies of the regular versions of Pretty Hate Machine, The Downward Spiral and With Teeth whenever I could.
I don't know all the lyrics to every song.
I haven't listened to all of the songs Ghosts or The Fragile.
*runs*
Ghosts I can understand because it's huge and at times can me monotonous if it's not used as background music but The Fragile? What's stopped you, is it's too large in scale? I know a lot of it isn't "easy to listen to" or commercial by nature but it's kind of the anchor to Trent's entire body of work.
Um ....we classical fanatics beg to differ, Tony. You're so cultured, LOL.

You aren't obliged to nobody to listen that in full. Just switch 1st and 2nd CD occasionally, works like a charm
When I was 11 I was playing the 'night version' of Girls on Film to a friend which has an extended instrumental intro,and she couldn't stick two minutes before saying 'where's the singing?' it made me sad that she couldn't cope with anything slightly different musically. It's not like I was forcing her to listen to classical music, it was Duran Duran for fucks sake. I think a lot of people are like that
i listen to instrumental/drone/ambient music just about as much as (if not more than) i listen to most other kinds of music. i think the vast majority of people have more complex taste than vocals = good, instrumental = bad. that said, i can't stand most classical music (especially mozart...ughhhh), but i love classical instruments in a more contemporary setting (clint mansell film scores, for example). ghosts is my second favorite NIN album, and i have listened to it all the way through many, many times (whereas i've only listened to year zero all the way through about twice because i just don't like it). :: shrug ::
my confession: despite the fragile being my favorite NIN album, i have only listened to it ONCE all the way through in the last five years because i have wanted to wait for the deluxe edition in order to re-experience the album. i can't tell if that's incredible dedication or just kinda sad.
I've done Where is Everybody? and Underneath It All recently, but Ripe and Looking Forward To Joining You are the ones I've never decided to touch. The latter being an extremely personal thing to Trent kinda rubs me in a way where I just don't know if I want to listen knowing that. I'm all for personal meanings in songs, but sometimes it just can get me, if that makes any sense. I will infact listen to the album straight through now that I've brought this up. It's the only one of the main NIN albums I haven't done from top to bottom.
As for Ghosts, I dunno. 29 Ghosts IV is my jam, though.
