Grabbed this a couple of weeks back.
With a little help from meee, I believe. :smth082
Anyhow, this record made me realize I should listen more to this band. Suggestions? (I'm lazy, I know :P)
first rule: you need to catch them live. :rocker
secondly: if you haven't gotten started with any early NIN stuff 'pretty hate machine', 'downward spiral', 'broken'... then it's about time! (all else has fared time well toher than 'pretty hate machine' which today can sound a bit like it was made on someone's home casio, but whatever: 'down in it' still kicks ass. :smth023 although even better so live :smth023 :smth023)
'fragile' has always been my favorite although most NIN fans don't seem to agree.
it's a bit moodier, more atmospheric, sprawling album. always liked it a lot for personal reasons.

Mmm, good rules. I'll go get busy listening right away. Thanks a million.
And there'll be a European tour after the US one in July and August, surely. See you there. :smth047

i truly hope so. last year there was a strong rumour going around that trent will break up his live band and stop playing live gigs altogether, going back to electronic/industrial stuff only. i'm glad that this was not the case as they've been pretty wicked live during the past few years. :smth077
the last time i saw them live was a great experience: the second best crowd action i've seen/been to. although the security ruined some of the fun: they were obviously some amateurs who had never been working in a festival security (other than some tango festival for 60-year-olds or something) and had never seen any real audience action. and in mid-concert they simply decided to "invade"the front parts of the audience in great numbers, started to hold some guys down (literally speaking) and told the rest of us that if we don't stop that constant mass pogoing we'll be all throw out - come on, they expect people just stand and stare during 'march of the pigs'? what a bunch of sissies. :roll: (and to top that, the organizers even managed to screw up the final fireworks which is legendary of course. anyway. i wonder what trent was thinking. ;-P)
anyway, that was the last of my "out of mind" audience experience. i've settled down since for good... but it's a nice memory, still. :rocker
(ps. split the thread)

Ha, fireworks during Hurt...
my Swedish friend (hey, a Swede can dream!)... By the way, I first heard Hurt when Johnny Cash covered it, quite like it:

Speaking of covers...
Nine Inch Nails covers Joy Division's Dead Souls (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=tI_GkdPeHGE&feature=related)
Also on the soundtrack to The Crow, along with our dear old Burn, yeah!

haha. anyway talking about swedish, one of the last summer tour shirts had a "nice" misprint on it.
just look closely at the dates in the back: they played helsinki in 2008-07-05... and then two days later again? no, actually 2008-08-07 was stockholm hovet but obviously somebody in the shirt design section or whateveritmightbecalled messed it all up and wrote helsinki twice.
hehe i bet the swedes were cursing that they were left out ot the shirt completely - yet we didn't mind being there twice! :twisted: :smth002
by the way has anyone checked out the new NIN forum on www.nin.com ? the new site/forums/etc. has been up for a while now.
i've just been wondering if i'm the only one who seems to get all lost over there in the forum...
(an old dog learns slowly?)
I love Nine Inch Nails; they're one of my top 5 favorite bands. I just saw them September 5th in Oakland: great show.
If you're just getting into them, I recommend The Downward Spiral, Broken, and downloading their new album, The Slip, for free on their website so you can get a taste of their new material

U should check out the song, "the perfect drug" off the lost highway soundtrack. one of my favorite songs, yet i do not think it has ever been played live.

That's great, especially the pic of Trent wearing those shades. It just looks really funny for some reason. :smth042
And damn, that strobe light pic is the most intense computer image I've ever seen! :shock:
I really wonder if anyone actually thought this was real. :oops:

He really did poke fun at a lot of people there. I believe those shades were a knock on Kanye West. "Produced by Timbaland" was surely poking more fun at Chris Cornell, who Trent bashed pretty good on Twitter.
"You know that feeling you get when somebody embarrasses themselves so badly YOU feel uncomfortable? Heard Chris Cornell's record? Jesus."

yeah, i saw that too! perhaps i can actually use the ticketmaster gift card santa brought me for christmas...
I know this is a The Cure band but NIN are the best EVAH. Hand down!!
Loved Trent's music even way before really becoming a fan of The Cure. If you need to know any actual good advice on reccomendations on NIN music, I'm the one to ask ;)
Saw them twice on their Lights in the Sky tour & it was mindblowing. Couldn't get to their Wave Goodbye tour, unfortunately, but NIN are alive & still kicking. "They" are actually in the process of making new material. You can check out my pictures of the Toronto & Hamilton gig I attended on my FLickr (check out my 'Just Joined' thread in the welcome section as well as my NIN videos I took on my Youtube (tigeroo25)

i was lucky enough to see them in mountain view last year with jane's addiction, and to be honest, it wasn't the best NIN show i have been to...the best was when i saw them a few months later in LA at the palladium when the downward spiral was played in its entirety. :rocker i cannot wait to hear what is next from one of my favorite bands :smth023
