STONE COLD 64 posted:i saw them during 08 when they had the massive set and ga ran me like $30 Same, that's the last time I saw them, in Knoxville with Deerhunter opening. The crowd kept insulting Brandon for being a "fag" (he was wearing a UT cheerleader's outfit) and loudly yelling "WHO THE gently caress ARE THESE GUYS" NIN fans are the best.

Donovan Trip posted:Hello my fellow goons and NiN fans. I recently have gotten very, very clean in my life. I'm a huge fan and I have a new video from my album I just finished. I hope you won't mind if I promote it here, it means the world to me if you have a minute to check it out. This album is mostly hip hop with a few really out there tracks like this one, which is like if NIN and Prodigy beat the poo poo out of each other on cocaine. Thanks for reading this far also im gay lmao this owns actually

the amusing thing to me about the 2008 tour was that Trent stopped the show in the middle and played stuff from Ghosts for an entire hour before getting the band back on, and that hour of Ghosts stuff got a lot more angry crowd assholes than even Deerhunter had done. but man it was only $40 and it was super easy to get right in front of the stage, Trent even pointed at and sang at/with me on "Last" which was  gently caress waiting 6 hours in line

obeyasia posted:How long did you wait outside the venue before the show to be on the guard rail up front? I didn't wait at all. We got there around 7, doors were at 8, there was a pretty long line but we all had our tickets already so it didn't take more than 30 minutes to get in (doors opened early) I also left to get beers and came back to the front of the stage several times. It just wasn't that big of a crowd, there was a lot of empty space near the doors and sides of the venue. It was the Thompson Boling Arena in Knoxville, for reference. edit: Also there wasn't a guard rail, the crowd went right up to the stage

) 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.

Asnorban posted: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. yeah that would be cool but let's be honest the overwhelming majority of people paying these prices are paying them precisely because they want to hear those songs

IUG posted:I saw them with Alice In Chains about 5 years ago. The lead singer of Jane's Addition thinks that they're the fame level of Led Zeppelin or something. It was annoying/embarrassing. 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.

I didn't like Year Zero much and for the record here are the rest of my thoughts on 9" Nails PHM - stone classic, one of the best pop albums of the 80s, like a white industrial Prince Broken - stone classic Fixed - even better than Broken TDS - good, was great when i was an angry 19 year old, is less great now The Fragile - boring, bad, and boring. can't even remember most of the songs on it. With Teeth - boring and terrible but i did like the first and last songs alright Year Zero - eh, 'sallright. "Capital G" is really good. Ghosts - totally awesome The Slip - it's bad Hesitation Marks - it's REALLY bad sidenote, hey remember around 2003 when Pretty Hate Machine was actually out of print and hard to find?

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Saying an album is "alright" and "not great but it's listenable" doesn't make me think you enjoyed it. i guess i just don't understand how it matters, like am i not allowed to post or what like it literally doesn't matter if i'm "officially" a NIN fan, i have liked many things the man has done, and so i continue to be interested in his career. like i would definitely not say someone isn't a smashing pumpkins fan if all they like is the first 3 or 4 records

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Eh, comparing Smashing Pumpkins to NIN doesn't really seem equivalent though. The first 3 or 4 Pumpkins records are the only ones that feature the original lineup (well I guess it's more like 6 counting both Machinas). Trent was literally the only official member of NIN until the end of 2016 Billy Corgan was functionally the only member of the band the entire time, well Billy and Jimmy anyway. Iha and D'arcy didn't record anything in studio, or if they did they were just playing exactly what he told them to play. It seems like a totally apt comparison to me.

I'd also disagree about PHM having "dated" or "bad" production. Most of that is deliberate and works in the album's favor imo. It's not his best album, but also, it kind of is. edit: also "The Nine Inch Nails" scene is a fantastic song/performance precision fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Jun 1, 2018 |

Leon Einstein posted:I didn't say bad; just dated. The dynamic range on it is way narrower than on the later stuff. That was kind of fixed on the remaster though. Oh, yeah that's true. A lot of songs sound much better with a bass boost. I feel the same way about Loveless, even remastered, Shields kept the bass buried which really hurts songs like "Only Shallow" and "Soon". Great songs, but even greater if you turn up the bass because those bass lines are slinky

The loving Champs were buddies with Trans Am (there's a The loving Am and a The Trans Champs record but they're hit or miss) and they're pretty much just good heavy metal. Like they're jokey in the sense that they have a song called "Thor is Like, Godly" but they're not "ironically playing metal". They're great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH0AXOxibPI

Half of it doesn't sound much like NIN at all, in a super good way, and I wonder if Trent feels obligated to keep going to the same wells every few songs or if he really just digs it. I mean I'm not one to talk, J. Spaceman definitely has a formula and literally only ever sings about love, heroin, and Jesus, so...

I never knew this though: quote:1000 Homo DJs is a side project of the industrial band Ministry. Even though the involment of Trent Reznor in the band isn't fully understood, it is definite that he sung the original vocals to "Supernaut." But because of contractual obligations with TVT Records, Al Jourgensen had to distort the vocals and say they were his to release the song. hahaha
