I love all the staples he plays at every show, but yeah, I've seen them enough times and would kill for some (even) deeper cuts. Like play more stuff from Year Zero or With Teeth or The Fragile or The Slip beyond the one or two songs from those albums that always get played. I'm sure some of those songs can be more challenging to pull off live, but it seems like attempting that would be part of the fun of touring, not settling into the same setlist all the time. I have been fortunate enough to see the likes of In This Twilight, Head Down, The Warning, The Big Come Down and The Great Destroyer live before, though, even if some of those were 10 years ago. Though he has been sprinkling in some of the new material more recently, which is cool to see live. When I saw them in December, I got Branches/Bones, Less Than, The Lovers and The Background World, which ruled. I would've gotten a couple more new ones too but the set got cut short because of rain

) in 2009, he had Peter Murphy open for them. Then Peter Murphy came on for three songs towards the end of NIN's set, the first of which was Reptile, which he absolutely ruined. The air was totally taken out of the place. I like Peter Murphy and all but he should not be singing lead vocals for Reptile as if it's a Bauhaus song.

I really wish I had caught QOTSA on that tour but every account I've heard of them was that they were drunk and terrible I did see them on a different tour and they ruled so whatever I guess. TBH, the worst NIN opener I've seen was Deerhunter who I saw twice on the same tour and was just extremely bored by (though I wasn't a dick about or anything)

Nail Rat posted:The problem is what do you consider a staple? I mean you say you don't need to hear Terrible Lie again, but someone else might say they would rather hear it than Head Like a Hole or Closer. Not that I disagree, but just saying to "play the staples" isn't going far enough because there are 12 songs he's played at least half of his concerts ever. And if you take the top five, well...Terrible Lie is in there. Along with two tracks from *totally just an EP* Broken, Wish and Gave Up of course. I think you misread my post? Or I misread yours? I was saying I’m tired of him just playing he staples. Retire EVERY song he has played consistently for the last 20 years. Play anything else, anything, for the main list. Then do a 4 song encore of staples. Just stop spending 9ish songs every drat time. Asnorban fucked around with this message at 00:49 on May 23, 2018 |

He should do kinda what Weird Al did and announce a small tour in intimate venues and say publicly and specifically he won't be playing any hits. (Granted it's different, Weird Al did a tour where he said he won't be playing any of his parodies, just his original work. Basically a tour for the hardcore Al fan.)

According to Setlist fm Sin is in the top 10 most played NIN songs (live) but it's also approaching 10 years since it's been in a set. Would love to hear it again. (I've actually never heard it live, didn't see NIN until 2013 or 14 whenever they last did a UK arena tour).

Queens of the Stone Age opened for with teeth in 2005. I don't know if they were drunk but the sound was a garbled mess. It's been that way with most of the openin acts I've seen. Mars Volta opening for APC was especially dissapointing. I really enjoyed Deloused in the Comatorium, but live everything blended together into dissonant wailing.

I saw TMV one time and they were great. I think it was around the Bedlam era. Thomas Pridgen was definitely taking huge bong rips behind his big-rear end gong between songs (rumor has it that's one of the reasons he got kicked out by Cedric lol).

I saw APC on the same tour with TMV opening and they were just so, so, so bad. One of the all time worst opening acts I've ever seen. Which is weird because everyone always claims how their live show (at least around that time) is some transcendent experience and I generally enjoy their studio albums.

I saw qotsa open along with death from above 1979 back on the with teeth tour in DC. DFA sucked bad. It was just noise, you couldn’t hear anything specific. Queens on the other hand actually earned my respect. I don’t think they were drunk at that show. Josh Homme even did a few acapella tracks for no reason other than that he could. At the end we got to see some classic pissbaby Trent. He pushed his synth into the crowd and they ripped it up like piranhas with fresh meat. I later read about several folks saying they had broken fingers both from trying to catch the heavy synth and everyone else grabbing at it to rip off a piece or two.

I had completely forgotten I had even seen TMV live until this conversation came up, which shows how good I thought they were live. I've also seen JA live twice and because both times they were headlining, I left the show early twice. The weirdest thing about them live is they play really, really loud which does not match how chilled out their music is and for whatever reason that makes them really hard to listen to. Overall I don't think I could even name the worst live band I've ever seen. After awhile you just see so many lovely live bands and you forget who they even are. There are a few names that stick out but even then I'm not sure they are actually worse than the ones I can't remember at all.

Whatever's left goes on sale tomorrow at 10 PST, looks like they added a couple dates including a third Chicago date. edit: meh. I think I'm skipping it. $100 plus fees is a lot to see NIN play the same setlist as ever in a lovely venue with lovely sound. Nail Rat fucked around with this message at 17:48 on May 23, 2018 |

Personally I think it'd be cool as gently caress to see The Mars Volta open for NIN also it's a mismatch but I'd love to see Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree and Trent/NIN do a stripped-down concert where they only play the more moody, melancholic stuff

Even back in the 90s they weren't that popular. I mean, at least in the 90s they basically were the Led Zeppelin of indie rock, but the fact remains they only made 2 and a half good albums and everything they've done since literally 1992 has been godawful.

Apparently a really crappy cellphone rip of “We Got Ahead of Ourselves” is floating around. It’s really low quality, but sounds like more late ‘90s drum & bass-inspired stuff, albeit with more traditional song structure and vocals. Jury’s still out, but I’m a little underwhelmed by both the songs I’ve heard from this album so far - I feel like the previous two releases had songs where Trent and Atticus were revisiting old sounds but still writing music that felt new, where as these two tracks feel dated. Obviously I didn’t hear the second song in any sort of reasonable quality or context, so I’m hoping my worries are all for naught come June 22. blue.eyed.ash fucked around with this message at 01:23 on May 24, 2018 |

Honestly the actual YZ ARG was not that far off in terms of how elaborate it was. IIRC the USB drives that were actually scattered in bathrooms at concert halls they played had audio tracks full of noise. People had to figure out that they needed to run a spectral analysis on the noise, which then revealed an image in the noise (it was the hand coming down from the sky), and I believe it also had coded letters that led you to a series of websites, and somewhere in the website's code was a link to a song.
