I tried searching ets to no avail. Could someone please point me towards the animated iPhone wallpaper of the NIN logo (similar to the 2017 tour intro)?
It's not so much that he messes up the lyrics as has a weird preference to switch the first two lines of the song. The first time he did it, everyone assumed that he just messed up, but he does it every single time and it's become obvious that it's intentional at this point. I don't know why he does it, but it's super consistent.
Has anyone got a hires version of Wound? My file is less than a megabyte and I'm SURE there was a good quality version out there
Nevermind, see two posts down.The one I have isn't bad.

I've seen NIN songs compared to other songs plenty of times since I've been a fan (down in it/skinny puppy, me, I'm not/kmfdm, a warm place/Bowie, etc), but has anyone ever pointed out the striking similarity between the main melody of Something I Can Never Have and Swans's In My Garden? I just heard the song for the first time and immediately thought of SICNH.
Whats the deal with the ticket vouchers from the 95 club tour? How would one have obtained one in the pre interweb society of the mid 90s?
Also there isnt much info on this tour, are there any other sources of documentation? Pictures, stubs, anything?
@ninlive have you heard of any of these shows being taped/recorded? Maybe seen a traders list with someone claiming to have one.
There has to be something more out there!
For Orlando, I remember you had to show up in person early on the day-of-show with picture ID to get a voucher. I don't remember how I found out about the shows (maybe seems like salvation or alt.music.nin?), but I was stuck in Tampa working and tried to get my friends in Orlando to help out.
*edit*
My memory is faulty as I thought this happened before the Outside tour, but seeing The bang’s post I do remember wearing my NIN/Bowie baseball cap at work trying to get friends to hook me up for Orlando.

They were announced pretty much day of from what people told me. Announced over radio too, I believe.
they were announced on such short notice, I don’t think any tapers got in. I haven’t seen any sources from it. But I have the tour itinerary of it. IIRC too, the Orlando show was rescheduled to a couple days later because TR hurt his voice.
That 1995 NIN/Helmet is some kind of a black hole in NIN live history. There are even recordings of 1988, 1996 and 1994 warm up shows FFS, and more than a few eyewitness reports. Not for that tour though. I once saw ONE setlist from that tour on Burning Souls tour reviews section and then pasted it onto ninwiki (where I was very active about 10 years ago), but who knows how accurate it was and if it changed during the tour. There were inquiries made on Helmet forums as well (by someone from here, IIRC), but they also don't know shit about that tour.
Someone should ask Trent what he remembers about that '95 tour with helmet next time he does a Q&A, instead of why he picked up a sax again for the 69th time, or what he thinks of David Bowie.
Here's an article explaining how the voucher system worked:
https://happinessinheresy.com/wp-con...v_4__1995_.jpg
AFAIK, Pensacola was the only show with an advance newspaper ad. All the rest were announced on the radio in the local markets about a day in advance, and it was a mad dash to the voucher distribution location.
For a long time, there wasn't much confirmed information about this tour. The Florida dates were thrown out of whack from the official itinerary because Trent blew his voice out in New Orleans. Over the past couple years, I've slowly been compiling information that confirms all the dates here:
http://www.nin.wiki/Fall_1995_Club_Tour
http://www.nin.wiki/Talk:Fall_1995_Club_Tour
http://www.nin.wiki/1995/11/12_Orlando,_FL
http://www.nin.wiki/1995/11/15_Miami_Beach,_FL
The only date really in question at this point is St. Petersburg, for which I haven't been able to find any definitive corroboration. It can't really slot into the schedule anywhere else, so either it happened on Nov. 11 as planned, or it didn't. I'm leaning towards it having happened.
I'm leaning towards the Corpus Christi show being fake. And chalking the Dec. Florida dates up to faulty memory.
Good stuff on that 95 tour guys. I have wondered if any of the footage on Closure was from any of these shows.
Seeing the two Orlando dates always makes me irrationally angry. And now it is worse after seeing the wiki history which links to my old alt.music.nin comment about attending show for Dec 6th. Which was a weekday. I was sure I worked the weekend when I heard about show over radio via WJRR.
I had it loud since I was by myself which I wouldn't do during regular work day.
Since I saved my voucher then I must really have done Nov date.
I dug around to see if I had anything else saved. This is supposedly set times from the Nov show that I bought ages ago from ninhistorian.
That amnin post is just early sign of my brain rot!

Thanks for confirming that (I mean, I'm sorry about the brain rot ). I had been meaning to PM you about that newsgroup post for a while. That one faulty recollection caused those Dec. dates to propagate into NIN Historian, NIN Tour History, setlist.fm, and nin.wiki! Thankfully, I can finally strike those dates.
When I get home, I’ll try and research the St.Pete Times & Tampa Tribunemicrofischemicrofilm to see if anything pops up.
*edit*
Looked over Nov.11-13 Tampa Tribune & St.Pete Times to no avail. They had some weekend happenings, but there wasn’t anything comprehensive since you had to contact the paper directly. They did review a Boy George show that Thursday, and Cheap Trick, and Melissa Ethridge (sp) but no NIN reviews, mentions, or adverts.
That said, I think Creative Loafing would have had better coverage (or perhaps a local zine) but those archives aren’t easily found.

Hey! Does anyone know where I can find an interview with Aaron North about him needing the guitar amps to be turned up really loud to get the right tone?
Having a nerdy conversation about amps and I need to prove a point... thanks!
If you look at some online (publicly available!!!!) listings, his name on legal documents and the such is still Michael Reznor.
For what it's worth, in about 2010 or 2011, I - genuinely, accidentally - found his private Facebook page and it was under the name Michael too.
Anyone know why The Day the World Went Away is played live in a different key from the album version? And the Still version is played in yet another key.
Just a guess, but the notes that TR sings in the album version are super high for him. He said once that he did tons of takes because he couldn't hit the notes when they were recording it. So if it was already hard for him then, and his voice has gotten deeper since, maybe it's to make that part doable.
