They're all print on demand, which I'm not a fan of. I stopped doing Teespring because I was not happy with how the shirts held up to repeated washing. I have shirts from the 90s that look better than a couple of the ETS shirts I did as print on demand. The last few I did were with Cotton Bureau and were proper ink/silkscreen, but it was a fight to get them not to fuck that up, after they fucked up the first batch.

I'm trying to find some Weeknd/Kanye/NIN stage comparisons but I'm only getting clickbait. Has anyone found any side-by-sides?Originally Posted by Detunez

I haven't found side-by-sides, but there's pictures for The Weeknd and NIN on leroybennett.com
This is from The Weeknd's The Madness Tour (2015):

Oh dang, that really does look like a NIN set. In fact, it looks like several different NIN sets sort of smashed together.
It makes you wonder how that happens; does the designer just reuse previous concepts without discussing it with artists? Or does the artist get to flip through a portfolio of work and pick something that somebody else has already done?

I'm sure it became, "Oh, you did 'x' event? I'd love for our set to be that + 'y'". It seems like it probably started out much more innocently, with someone on the crew making a suggestion based on a show they saw or worked.
The Lady Gaga tour in question was the Born This Way Ball, but I haven't looked through enough pictures to see what the fuss is about.
Here's U2:

This is old, but at the end of this 1999 VMAs pre show interview with Aaliyah, she says she’s a huge fan of NIN. I’d heard about this, but never saw her actually saying it

I'm only 10 minutes into this 2016 BBC documentary and they've already played two clips of NIN songs. (Warning edit: There's some real life death and gore in this if you'd rather avoid seeing it)

Adam Curtis tends to use NIN a lot. Also lots of Aphex, Burial, Clint Mansell. His documentaries are essential viewing for understanding the world we live in today. Hypernormalisation is extraordinary. I also recommend 'The Century of the Self' and 'All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace'. All have lots of NIN, used brilliantly.
It's worth checking out this interview with him on Adam Buxton's podcast (weirdly one of the guys who introduced NIN at Glastonbury a few posts above). Curtis speaks of Right Where It Belongs being one of his favourite ever songs towards the end of the episode. http://adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/ep44-adam-curtis.

Mike Shinoda mentions NIN fandom (he’s another contender for inducting NIN into RRHOF in my opinion
Another podcast for Watchmen promotion.

Like any kind of artist, the guy probably has a portfolio or a demo reel that includes photos and video of all their best productions, which would undoubtedly include NIN. Any graphic designer would know that when pitching concepts to a client, they often like to take their two favorites and bash them together with a shovel (whether they go together or not), making a Frankenstein's monster comprised of mishmashed parts of both. Either that, or the visual artist who designed the stage setups has a somewhat limited bag of tricks to draw from (though I believe the former to be the case).

Out of interest, regarding the Emmy awards, in the category ‘music supervision’ the Watchmen episode with the nostalgia flashbacks is put forward, (that contains The Way it Used to Be), but also the Black Mirror episode with On a Roll (although both under the name of the person supervising the musical choice!)
https://www.emmys.com/sites/default/...on-2020-v1.pdf
Also The Way it Used to Be has been put forward in the category ‘outstanding music & lyrics’, just under the category ‘music’
https://www.emmys.com/sites/default/...ic-2020-v1.pdf
Sorry, should add that the score for the first episode is nominated generally under Limited Series - for some reason they seem to nominate individual episodes rather than an overall thing, which I suppose makes sense inthe context of TV with lots of episodes
Dispatches From Elsewhere was also put forward

Someone in the comments of the new fucked up animation by MeatCanyon likened the audio track to Tetsuo: The Bullet Man. Must say I agree. It’s damn awesome:

Summer Sonic 2020 Archive Vol. 2:
Day-1： Boom Boom Satellites(2009)、B’z(2009)、Coldplay(2008)、The Flaming Lips(2009)、Oasis(2005)、Sigur Ros(2012)、Sonic Youth(2009) ※出演順ではありません
Day-2： Green Day(2012)、Nine Inch Nails(2009)、The Prodigy(2008)、Rihanna(2012)、X Japan(2011) ※出演順ではありません
2009 NIN set will be broadcast, probably full set, or it could be a concise 50-minute edit of highlights.
Footage available for 24 hours.
*Think this probably deserves its own thread.
I highly recommend people to watch the Boom Boom Satellites set from 2009. They're a Japanese band, but they wrote the lyrics in English.
If you're into NIN, there's a good chance you'd love BBS as well. Their lead singer, Michiyuki Kawashima, passed away in 2016, but their body of work is worth checking out.
Of course Flaming Lips 2009 & Sigur Ros' 2012 sets will be highlights from Day 1 as well.
Day 2 is quite underwhelming apart from NIN to me. If you're into Japanese rock, X would be worth your time.
I miss Flint but their live set is to be experienced imo, its essence was never really captured on film.

Are these full performances?!?!?! Cuz fuck me, I wanna see The Prodigy! Only saw clips from it.
You didn't like World's On Fire? I love the Brixton '97 footage. Wish they released the whole show. Even World's On Fire is an edited down concert film. Chopped a few tracks. But, yea, it's nothing like really being in a crowd during The Prodigy blowing the roof off. I miss that feeling.

It's likely that these are just highlights, what was originally broadcast. For NIN, that was 4 songs over 16 minutes. For The Prodigy, it was 3 songs over 14 minutes. In fact, you can see the song copyright-matching information in the YouTube video description already. It doesn't have NIN, but it does have the Prodigy songs: Breathe, Firestarter, SMBU; the same 3 songs as originally broadcast.
It will be nice to get them in better quality though.
Administrator
But do we have even this footage in better-than-youtube quality? It's not in the archive
Administrator
I have it in letterboxed MPEG-2 format, but it's very middling quality. I expect that this will be better, coming directly from the broadcast masters.

I could've sworn they also broadcasted the track World's On Fire

i saw prodigy live in 97 while on a significant amount of speed, and have yet to see a single video or audio clip that can even come close to replicating the experience of being smack dab in the middle of the pit/dance party/crowd surfing mayhem of that set. sometimes i miss being a teenager, not often, but sometimes.
