My guess is either tomorrow or next Friday.
oh god i made eye contact
I wish Trent would casually slip a rehearsal video onto Instagram, or something. These upcoming shows aren't being hyped up that much.

It took me quite a few listens to be able to listen to instrumental TDS before I could hear it as music without the vocals in the background, still not there for Fragile

Its like how people who lose limbs supposedly have phantom limbs where they can feel what isn't there. There are parts of Deviations where I can hear phantom voices that aren't there.
I was nobody. Nothing.
Tomorrow! It would be fucking great if it came out tomorrow!

I still can't comprehend the "Came back haunted" music video.

But you know, as much as I wrote it off when it first came out, I have grown to rather like it. Though I still can't get behind the constant use of that still image of the bug/girl/gasmask thing...

Is that what that is? I like the video, I just can't make anything out.

So if the next two EPs are roughly the same length as NtAE, then we're basically getting an album released a little bit at a time. Perhaps that's what we'll get on CD as a regular release?

Apple Music has an E next to the mark has been made on aatchb but terrible lie (live) doesn't.
And if you think thats confusing go through some of the old prince catalog on Apple Music. The recent deluxe edition changed it but the original purple rain had an e for let's go crazy and nothing for the song that caused the sticker to exist in the first place. 1999 has an e for little red corvette but none for the song that has the line "I sincerely want to fuck the taste out of your mouth"

There's an alternate universe where Still was never released and "And All That Could Have Been" is on Deviations without the lyricsThose poor people

I have a couple random questions for people I wanted to post and figured this was the spot...
Random question #1- Does anyone else on here get made fun of for being on an online forum for a band that started 30 years ago? Or just being an “obsessed” fan of a band for 30 years? I personally don’t give a shit what other people think, but recently had a “discussion” with someone about this. They said I'm obsessed and not many people follow the same band for 30 years?! I said, "Well, what about Metallica, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones,etc, etc."
Random question #2- Anyone read comics on here? (Another hobby I get my chops busted about...I'm 42, so apparently that's not cool anymore.)
Random question #3- Anyone from Long Island on here? Would be great to meet some fellow fans in the area. (I'm not originally from Long Island, and although I moved down here back in 2001, I haven't really made many friends thanks to my crazy work schedule.)

The answer to questions #1 and #2 are that your 'friends' are assholes.

Dude you posted this exact same thing in Random NIN Question 4 hours ago...
haha, and I answered him with basically the exact the same thing, great minds.
Stubby Member
I wasn't sure which forum it would get seen in more, so figured I'd try both. Thanks for the support though!

I'll take a close-knit well-run active forum over a fucking Facebook group any day of the week

I wouldn't care if anyone thought it was silly. NIN have been my favorite band since the year after TDS was released and I've been posting on the NIN and fan forums since the official site got its revamping back when The Fragile came out. It's not something I really think about; I come here to bullshit about my favorite musician and learn about other cultural stuff from like-minded people whose company I generally enjoy, even if it's over the internet.
There's probably nobody in my offline life who can understand the scope of what TR's art means to me, or how it's affected my livelihood. I don't even bother emphasizing it. I'd rather just come here where I know there are people who get it..
Besides, after 30 years, what other band from the 80s or 90s so decidedly non-mainstream can show up in an episode of Twin Peaks and fit right in, or boast a fan base as ardent and as intelligent as the community we have here? I'd say we definitely chose the right musician to support throughout the majority of our lives. One who keeps challenging his fans and his creativity with each new release, tour, project, etc.

Yep, the issue this person hard, was that the forum isn't "real life"...but unfortunately in my line if work i don't have alot of time for "real life" outside of work. Plus, i said if i enjoy it and it makes me happy, what does it fuckin matter?

In the 90s I was also a fan of Pearl Jam. They released their most recent album around the same time as HM. I was going to try to see them on tour but money was tight and when listening to their new album it sounded like their old albums. There was nothing wrong with it and I won't criticize them for knowing their strengths but it was nothing I hadn't heard before. So instead I saw nin twice within less than two months and got two completely different shows (one was made in America so it was the festival show and the other was a tension show). I've seen nin many times over the years and the only two shows that felt the same were when I saw them twice within a week on the fragility tour. Other bands I've seen multiple times give essentially the same show. Different set lists or stage set ups but nothing radically different.

NIN has meant so much to me over the years and been there for me and shaped me that I don't give two rancid fucks if someone has a problem with my fandom. Especially these days, with all the accolades and kind of the retroactive respect that TR now gets from all sides of the music industry. I finally feel vindicated in my love for that "fuck you like an animal" band, even though NIN was ALWAYS more than that song. Granted, not many people in my life know that I spend time on music forums, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's simply today's version of having conversations with other fans at the record store, or it's a very niche alternative to social networking.

Nice to see Gottleib is still so punchable.

“quit fucking around”
All 4 episodes of The Defiant Ones are great! I marathoned through it all last night/this morning. Super interesting stories, great editing, great music/scoring. TR is primarily in episode 3 and I really appreciated the NIN/MM music placed over the Dre/current rap scene story and the Dre/Eminem music over the NIN/MM story. It fit really well. And yes, Gottleib is still very much punchable. TR’s comments on him are classic.

If you think about it, there might not be a better time in the future to play the perfect drug live.
They've been on Twin Peaks, so many people were exposed to the new music; some might have looked up for articles about the episode (especially with such an episode, people have questions), where many times it was reported that Trent worked on Lost Highway, so they might have checked out TPD.
David Lynch posted (on facebook I think) about the song some months ago, giving it new exposure.
Also, there's the reissue on vinyl.
Not getting my hopes up, but you never know.
Josh Wink was on HLAH
There was no better time to play Lights In The Sky than on the Lights In The Sky Tour, or AATCHB on the tour that has a live album named after it. Trent is really bad at this.

Down, but not out.
I don't think I was really made fun of, but definitely misunderstood. If I ever got made fun of, at least they let me know that they were just kidding. I never really understood that either, especially with the points you mentioned about those bands that clearly started way before Nine Inch Nails even existed.
Interestingly enough, I was actually more misunderstood due to the fact that I was on an Internet forum to start with, since most of the people I know of are far more familiar with social media instead. Internet forums also seemed to be a very foreign concept to them.
And if anything, fans following musicians, especially their favorites long-term is not only to be expected, but very much normal too.
No, I actually haven't, but I certainly understand the appeal. I've also been there before with some of my other interests, such as playing and collecting old video games and even buying CDs and DVDs, so I can definitely relate. It's not only lame, but a bit of a bummer for me too.
Not at all, but I'm pretty close as far as rides go, on the account that I'm a resident of Queens.
And well, I'm sure you've heard it before, but even I could use the reminder myself. Just keep on being you and doing you. As long as you're doing nothing wrong or hurting anybody, that's all that really matters.

The closest thing to this I have is when I tell people I host a Nine Inch Nails podcast. Some people can't wrap their minds around how there could be that much to say about one band. Of course, anyone on ETS knows, considering there have been dozens of pages of discussion this month alone about record packaging and value, a two word tweet, a non-existent tour, and a few partially obscured letters on black fabric.
