NIN-Spotting 2013 (Part 1/2)

[jessamineny]

Nice spot! That Sound City Players page is also not referenced anywhere on the official Sound City Movie page.

I had Wednesday's episode of Jimmy Fallon playing in the background today, the trailer for Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters was shown (one of the actors was on the show promoting he movie), my ears picked up on an edit/version of The Wretched. It would appear the trailer for this movie was released some time ago last year but this is new info to me, sorry if this has already been posted ....

Damn, Trent is playing a good game of hide and seek! Finding him is proving to be a challenge. I bet he's doing a Bowie - forced all his closest friends and family into silence until he makes a surprise announcement that he will release a new album. That'll be cool if this turns out to be the case :-D

We already know he's working on a new album, but it won't be out for a while. Trent doesn't talk so much these days, but when he does he's fairly forthcoming.

Does he need to perpetually be in the public eye? The marketing machine for Welcome oblivion hasn't started (officially) yet, so he's most likely just enjoying the calm before the storm. He's enjoying it, Q's probably enjoying it, and Rob's never really silent anyway but there's nothing for him to openly talk about HTDA-wise right now. Give the dude his time to be invisible.

And what surprise announcement? We've known about the album for months now. The only surprise will be if there's a 300 dollar deluxe edition, and even then, who would call that a surprise?

[jessamineny]

I think he's talking about NIN.

[gorast]

Oh. Oops.

Even so, I don't think we'll be seeing any NIN this year. I was enthusiastic about the possibility of NIN touring alongside HTDA, but I don't know if Trent will want to do that.

Yeah, I don't think HDTA opening for NIN is a great idea. I do think the best way to start out HDTA's touring career is by having them open for a completely different band though. It'd be a much better way of exposing them to a non-NIN crowd.

watched School of Rock, and spotted the NIN logo in the window at 1:06:05

Queens of the Stone Age

While I (and, I'm sure, many other people) would relish the opportunity to see this pairing, I don't think it's a good match. Queens have a very loyal base of well-intending but rather narrow-minded fans who prefer straight-rocking heavy jams and that's not at all what HTDA is doing.

Spotting on the 'deep web' if you will: the extended version of Uncoiled (for donors) is on what.cd; sadly it isn't burning up the Top Ten like the original edition did.

Q. What was the deal with Marilyn Manson's Alice involvement? I've heard a lot of things on the internet but internet things are unreliable.

A. He was involved, then he wasn't. They (Manson/NIN people) are a mercurial bunch. Never figured out what the real motivation for the sudden departure was. But we did get a couple of really beautiful tracks out of it - sadly, I'm legally forbidden from releasing them. So I listen to them by myself and smile.

Anti-spotting: relieved to see no NIN on the coachella bill. Love NIN, but fuck the past -- onto the future!

[sheepdean]

The list of things NIN aren't playing this year is rather long

I am relieved as well, because now I can cancel my vacation I had planned in April in case NIN returned at the festival, and use it for the Summer when I actually need it now, hah.

So this probably confirms there won't be any live NIN in 2013 at all. I couldn't see him returning this soon anyway. He will be back, but not til at least next year I would imagine.

I'm not counting out the possibility of 2013 until the lineups for Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza are announced. The Bonnaroo lineup is announced in February and I believe the headliners for Lollapalooza are usually leaked in February. I think the only thing the lack of NIN at Coachella proves is that HTDA and NIN will not be touring together.

[fillow]

Aren't some of you guys jumping to conclusions too fast? It's only January ffs.

[sheepdean]

HTDA are releasing an album in March so I project NIN will never release an album ever again

[Blackbookpress1984]

Lol. Now what makes that a logical connection?

[ManBurning]

Lol. Now what makes that a logical connection?

He was being "sarcastic" to try and proove how stupid we are for jumping to "silly" conclusions. *rolls eyes*

Yet I find it rather amusing that a few posts up he practically AGREES that NIN won't be touring in 2013 with a quote that says...

The list of things NIN aren't playing this year is rather long

And it wasn't Until @fillow told us to stop "jumping to conclusions" AKA: Playing NIN Fortune teller, then he decided to jump on the "he's right, NIN will be back this year" thought all of a sudden. Very odd...

[sheepdean]

That quote was due to the "spotting" of NIN not playing Coachella. Spotting NIN not playing a festival is about as useful as a chocolate teapot

[ManBurning]

Well, some of us were making travel plans based on whether NIN was going to be at coachella or not, so it was a pretty fair "spotting" if you ask me.

You should try it one day, the next time NIN announces their first show in xx number of years, hop on a plane and enjoy the festivities, it's a wonderful feeling!

[eversonpoe]

...a chocolate teapot

that sounds pretty tasty, man...

[scorpiusdiamond]

Hey yo, what happened to NIN Spotting JUST being NIN Spotting...?

[october_midnight]

Stupid iPhone.

Adrian Belew is the "touring guitarist" for Nine Inch Nails this year?

If we didn't have enough confirmation from TR's reddit session, this should be 100% confirmation that "Nine Inch Nails is touring in 2013".

Oh.

Ok, here's my "complete" guess at what will happen:

Trent keeps himself busy with HTDA during the first half of 2013. Album and shows turn out to be sort of disappointing, only make people miss NIN even more.


Since people are desperately craving for some NIN, out comes The Fragile's deluxe edition rerelease around August (special edition will cost $200), and a US tour of the album played in its entirety (because eff you rest of the world or something?).

The same people who faceplamed this post will be the same ones to say "oh yeah, basically I knew about The Fragile tour with Belew back in January, totally predictable, not really news for me."

EDIT: I'd say more than halfway to confirmed, after this

[sheepdean]

Of course, this totally means that Trent HAS to cover some King Crimson
