NIN Spotting 2023

[Zur En Arrh]

A friend of mine recently had Richard Patrick on his podcast (my friend isn't on this episode but he set the interview up) and Trent/NIN came up quite a bit in the conversation so I wanted to share it here in case anyone is interested

To be fair it seems Trent is the ONLY thing Richard talks about...

The Leonard Cohen music is the same in all released versions. No changes there. Burn was only used briefly in the last scene and that is the only thing that was changed in the director's cut, and then for the Theatrical version in later Blu-ray releases (but there for the initial VHS and Laserdisc releases). Burn never played over the credits. So now Burn has been re-instated in the Theatrical version, and will be in the director's cut for the first time ever on the upcoming 4K/Blu-ray release.

Ah gotcha. I haven't seen the theatrical cut in a LONG time.

Anyone know the reason the music was replaced in the first place?

Probably licensing complications. Warner Brothers didn't originally want to release the Director's Cut, because their home video division wouldn't release MPAA unrated content at the time. Instead it was Trimark, under their home video imprint Vidmark, who released the DC instead. So maybe the sync license for that track was invalidated on home video releases, and Warner's didn't bother to reinstate it when they first reissued the movie themselves. (I do seem to remember the deluxe double VHS version may have included the music video as a bonus feature? With Stone's spoken introduction to go with it?)

As another sidebar, I just checked my collection and I only have a Warner's-released DVD version of the Theatrical cut without "Burn" (ie. the worst possible version)... so I guess I feel okay about buying it again on Blu-Ray! The tribal drumming track they used in that spot just doesn't work as well as that thunderous digitally distorted beat from "Burn" does.

That Vidmark double VHS Directors Cut was the only place to find the Burn music video for a while, which is the only reason I still have it.

The Director's Cut Laserdisc had the video too

Richard Patrick is on the latest episode of the Peer Pleasure Podcast. Mostly talking about Filter but they talk about NIN a little bit as well.

Warframe 1999 trailer reveal, featuring track from Nine Inch Nails' 1999 album, The Fragile (Into The Void).

Too many Nine in that sentence. Super meta.

wow if that's indicative of the score that's great.

Not much of NIN stories in there, except for Trent's legal battle in a middle of the tour.
His GNR stories, however, add up a little bit to all the jokes and photoshops NIN did around that time.
