Nine Inch Nails

[Gunner32]

I want one of the Manchester gig, but can't find any:(

[Mobius]

Bumping.

They recorded one of the LA gigs apparently. Good times. Also in other news. Alessandro Cortini has briefly joined Muse. :D

[Max]

:LOL:

I think they've been recording all the shows bar the one at Webster Hall in New York and their V Festival show.

[I, Prada Shoes]

Also in other news. Alessandro Cortini has briefly joined Muse. :D
That's actually pretty sweet. Cortini's a great musician.

[boomeraangsquad]

So... only 2 more shows left?

[Max]

Tonight is the final show V3 (after Asia being the original stop, and then Echoplex being the second, but somehow they're finishing at the Wiltern!). There are fans trying to see if they webcast the entire show.

[Mobius]

It may be their last show, but i'm not staying up that late to watch it all. :P

[Max]

It may be their last show, but i'm not staying up that late to watch it all. :P

Yup, I'm going to wait until the morning. It's pretty admirable though if they do actually webcast it.

[Mobius]

I wont let you fall apart. Goodbye NIN. :(

[I, Prada Shoes]

I wont let you fall apart. Goodbye NIN. :(
NIN's not finished. Touring-NIN, yes, but Trent has said he's still going to be making music as Nine Inch Nails.

[hoodoo oz]

I saw them twice earlier this year in Sydney (Feb) but would've loved to have seen the shows they did with Jane's Addicition.

[Gunner32]

NIN's not finished. Touring-NIN, yes, but Trent has said he's still going to be making music as Nine Inch Nails.

True, but still :'(:'(

That ending though. Good god. I would have been hysterical. :LOL: :(

[Max]

That ending though. Good god. I would have been hysterical. :LOL: :(

I'm not sure what I would have been like at any of these shows. Well, I know if the O2 was to go by I would have enjoyed Gary Numan's appearance. :LOL:

Yeah apparently there were shitloads of people in tears. I know that it's probably true but a flock of people crying after a NIN concert in general is unimaginable in my mind. :LOL:

Should have had The Great Destroyer. :phu:

[Gunner32]

:LOL:

Great setlist. I would've cried my eyes out if I was there too :supersad:

[Flynn]

:( I'm sad now.

That set was amazing. I would have done anything to have been there if I knew.


Still needed Great Destroyer though.

[Max]

If I was there, I don't think I'd have any right to complain at all. :erm: That's an insane setlist.

[Flynn]

Yeah, I suppose. I still wouldn't like to miss one of my favorite NIN songs, but yes, an amazing setlist never the less.

[Mobius]

Those last six songs would've killed me. I'dve been a total wreck after that.

[Davey25]

They get 30something songs. 3 hours long. At Sonisphere we get 10. fuckit

[I, Prada Shoes]

"Mr. Self Destruct" (featuring Greg Puciato and Ben Weinman)
:eek:




Um.





:eek:

[boomeraangsquad]

I feel like crying and I wasn't even there.

This is so fucking sad. :( I never got to see NIN live (just got into them the past year). I know 60 years from now not being able to see NIN will be one of my greatest regrets. :'(

Final setlist was amazing. The last three songs especially.

[Mobius]

This was it. The last song. :'(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UC3BgMz-OI

[Massamused]

If I had known NIN were disbanding when I saw them last year in LA at The Forum... /sigh.

[P-Mac]

NIN are not disbanding. Reznor still intends to make music under that name. It's just that he has ceased touring activities for the forseeable future as he finds the idea too commercially driven.

[Clunge]

:(.

I never saw them.

FML.

[francesca198]

I really love them, Trent is a genius!
I had the lucky to see them live in Italy in june, best gig ever!
hope they will come back really soon....can't wait....

[I, Prada Shoes]

hope they will come back really soon....can't wait....
Well, you may be disappointed.

[Flynn]

:(.

I never saw them.

:(:(

I did, but I'm still fucking gutted. :'(

[francesca198]

:( I'm confident...:p

[hoodoo oz]

I know it's sad but I've never seen Radiohead live and I can't see them touring Oz in the near future (if ever):(

[hoodoo oz]

:(:(

I did, but I'm still fucking gutted. :'(

Same here...
Even though I've seen them I could've seen them fifty times and would still feel "gutted"

[PoisonMeteor]

:eek:

TDEP's been joining them on Wish for some time now... since February, I think. I'm just surprised/jealous that they got Greg and Ben for Mr. Self Destruct. One of my top favourite NIN songs + the two leaders of one of my other fave bands = ...I don't know...


Lucky people at that show.

Uizrite.

I think that O2 gig in July was my second favourite gig of the year (after Faith No More at Brixton).

[Max]

Uizrite.

I think that O2 gig in July was my second favourite gig of the year (after Faith No More at Brixton).

SPEAKING of the O2 gig...

NIN have uploaded the two Numan songs from that gig - Cars and Metal - on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/channels/ninlive09#6859938). Awesome.

can you see us lolz?

[Carbo]

Huh. I just bought my first NIN shirt today.

Finally.

[kurdt]

:(.

I never saw them.

FML.

That bites. I think they honestly pull off a pretty flawless show, really consistent and entertaining. Reznor doesn't really engage with the crowd yet maintains their attention like only great frontmen do.

I had the pleasure of seeing one of their final shows a few weeks ago. Even ill, Reznor did a fantastic job as did the rest of the band. I'm gonna miss it. Only saw them about 4 or 5 times live.

Think there's gonna be a revival down the line? I hope so. Less FML's, that said.

[Max]

The show at the O2 was possibly the best live show I've seen all year. When you consider that I've seen Radiohead this year, that is saying something.

[kurdt]

The show at the O2 was possibly the best live show I've seen all year. When you consider that I've seen Radiohead this year, that is saying something.

Officially jealous you saw them both. I've never seen Radiohead live yet. Bad luck.

[Clunge]

Ergh, watching those vids from the O2 just makes me feel more gutted that I missed that show :(.

I should have flown home for it.

[Carbo]

What really made me feel gutted was that Trent completely ignored the capitals in Denmark and Sweden, only touring there for festivals.

I mean paying around about £120 to see a band play in Arvika Festival or Roskilde Festival just to see one band is ridiculous. Okay so Arvika had Korn and Depeche Mode, Roskilde also had Slipknot. But still.

I felt even more gutted when I read numerous reviews of NIN's Roskilde performance where it got astronomous praise.

I kinda found that ironic since it was the only tweet he had made of a performance beforehand when he described it as "weird" to perform 1 AM, never tweeting back about it the gig unlike alot of other gigs.

[Sophie.]

Can anyone recomend some easyer NIN songs to get into?
As of yet I havent been able to really enjoy their songs.

[Max]

What have you been listening to so far?

[GorkerMorker]

The most accessible album by NiN is 'With Teeth'. If you can't get into that then all hope is lost.

[Clunge]

I don't find With Teeth accessible at all, with the exception of The Hand That Feeds and Only.

Pretty Hate Machine and The Slip are far far far more accessible if you ask me.

[GorkerMorker]

The Slip? Are you serious? That's one of the least accessible ones.

[Clunge]

Each to their own. Tracks like Discipline, Echoplex, 1,000,000, Letting You and Head Down just clicked for me immediately.

[Carbo]

Check out the Seeds (http://www.ninwiki.com/Category:Seeds).

As for albums, The Slip is probably the most accessible NIN album. It's free and is pretty much modern NIN in a nutshell. The Fragile is probably the least accessible for newcomers.

1. The Slip
2. With Teeth
3. Year Zero
4. Pretty Hate Machine
5. Broken
6. The Downward Spiral
7. The Fragile

Not including Ghosts I-IV as I just see that as a vintage collection of mental wallpaper.

[Max]

I'd start with The Downward Spiral myself, but different strokes and all. If you don't like Downward Spiral, you probably won't get NIN.

:erm: You sure that's as accessible as Pretty Hate Machine and Broken?

[Carbo]

:erm: You sure that's as accessible as Pretty Hate Machine and Broken?

Year Zero is alot more modern now in the age of Electronic music and some songs have With Teeth influences such as Beginning of The End, Survivalism and Capital G. I'd say it's a bit more accessible than Pretty Hate Machine since Synth Pop is very rare today and was mostly dominant back in the 80's. Broken is most comparable to The Downward Spiral which is extremely anti-mainstream along with The Fragile.

[Max]

There are still elements of Year Zero that aren't entry-level NIN. It's a brilliant album but not for newbies.

[boomeraangsquad]

I thought Year Zero was the toughest NIN album to get into. I wouldn't suggest it for newcomers. Hell, I think it was the last of the main NIN albums I ended up listening to. Like Max said, it is a brilliant album but not for newbies.

I would start with With Teeth. It is a pretty basic album. Not too hard to get into and if you enjoy it then there is no doubt you will enjoy the other ones. Pretty Hate Machine is a good one to start with as well. As is Broken.

[Milky Joe]

I found The Downward Spiral really accessible, with songs like Piggy, March of the Pigs, Closer and Hurt

But in general, beginners should just listen to their famous songs before albums, that's what I did.

[GorkerMorker]

The Fragile is actually pretty accessible after giving it a proper listen again, lots of well rounded songs.

[boomeraangsquad]

I agree with The Fragile as well. It was actually the 2nd NIN album I heard (With Teeth was first but I got them both on the same day) and I enjoyed it on first listen. I remembered really liking the left side so I listened some more and it became my favorite 2 months later.

It still is my favorite.

[faptdivers]

Ok so I got With Teeth and The Slip , will come back with comments in a few days.

[Green Mamba]

Today a guy at work who also went to the O2 gig gave me a spare ticket stub he got at the end, as I forgot to pick one up on the way out. Splendid.

[boomeraangsquad]

Old post but...

Broken is good although Happiness in Slavery and Last I don't care for at all.
I find this funny because now Last and Happiness In Slavery are my favorites on Broken. Especially Happiness In Slavery which I really love right now.

Also, just because TR isn't doing any live shows anymore doesn't mean the thread has to end. :(

[I, Prada Shoes]

I find this funny because now Last and Happiness In Slavery are my favorites on Broken. Especially Happiness In Slavery which I really love right now.
I think all the songs on Broken are some of NIN's best.
Pinion is one of my favourite NIN tracks; the tension it builds is insane.
Broken's my second favourite NIN release aside from TDS.

Anyone here seen the movie in full?

I've just seen the DVD. It's absolutely brilliant, considering it's from fan footage that is mostly in standard definition. It makes you wonder how brilliant the other DVDs that are being worked on could potentially be. :happy:

I wish they'd get a soundboard recording though, the singing guys in the audience that are close to the taper get annoying at times.

[Green Mamba]

It's a shame no official recording was sorted out for the LITS tour, it was an interesting idea to allow HD recordings at certain gigs, it still cracks me up seeing people in the mosh pit with high end video equipment bopping up and down in the crowds. :LOL:

The collaborative efforts of fixed cameras and fan footage in the Gift was a pleasant suprise. Some of the fan projects that have been coming and gone have been very good, the one that thisoneisonus have been working on is probably the most looked forward to.

I am somewhat sad we never got to see the full production tour over here in Europe, but on the plus side we got a hell of a gig of one foccused band and an epic setlist at the O2 London.

I'm sure Trent will carry on under the NIN stage name i the studio, whether we will ever see him on stage again with fantastic musicians is another matter, maybe one day if he still has the desire.

[Green Mamba]

Oh and here is the youtube playlist link if you don't want to download the TDS at Webster Hall torrent.

He was planning on doing a 3D DVD, but the company or whatever that was managing/organizing it screwed around with Trent for too long and he ran out of time.

I forget the exact details but it was along those lines.

[Michelle89]

Closer easily has to be one of the best songs i've ever heard.

and trent in that video...yes.

[Carbo]

The Broken Movie?

*raises hand*

20 minutes of faux-snuff sexiness. Then again I'm a huge gore fan.

Ha, true.

I torrented it awhile ago, but I was a nuub back then and it was some file format I had never heard of before (.ogg or something?) and I couldn't get it too play on my comp. I eventually deleted it to make some HD space.

And then later I learned it was a file type that you had to burn straight to a DVD and then it'll work on a player.

[Mobius]

Bumpage time!

Right for anyone who may've heard about the Lights In The Sky tour Fan DVDs being made. The first Disc (The gift footage) is out on Christmas Day! :D

[Carbo]

Fina-fucking-lly. Been waiting for this forever.

Damn. The Gift material looks alot better than the people on TOIOU made it out to be. Sure is a bunch of brag.

[Max]

That looks amazing, especially when you consider the effort it took to work on that. Can't wait to download it.

I have been keeping a close eye on the progress of the making of this. The team who made it have been really surprised how difficult a thing it is to put together if you want to make it look professional and they've ran into a lot of technical trouble in the way. Its been an epic journey for them and I'm sure they are massively relieved to get it done. :)

SLAAAAVE SCREEAMS

Oh how I want to hear that live

[guitarchaeologist]

Happy holidays everyone and thank you for an exceptional year! Sorry I haven't been around much lately, I've been working on not working for a couple of months, which for me is hard work. 2010 has a number of things planned including new material from nine inch nails and something else that isn't nine inch nails. I am in a state of rediscovery and reinvention that feels unfamiliar, unsure and exactly what I need.

In the meantime, here are some miscellaneous performances from 2009.
See you and speak to you soon-
Trent
I bet the non-NIN is going to be a Mariqueen Maandig album.

[guitarchaeologist]

I will bet money he is producing an album for his wife.

[Mobius]

I will bet money he is producing an album for his wife.

Needs to work with Saul Williams again really. Or Lady GaGa for lulz.

[Mrguy]

Been looking to get into these guys for a while.
What tracks would be good to start with?

[Clunge]

Well... you can't go wrong with getting their album The Downward Spiral.

[Mrguy]

Okay...
But any outstanding tracks? I will sample a few on YouTube before buying an album...

[Carbo]

Ruiner, March of the Pigs and Closer are really the most "accessible tracks" on the album that could be listened to outside of the album's context. Most of the other tracks are a part of the greater picture and is meant to be eaten up whole. Hurt, depending on who you ask, may also be another accessible track but it barely says anything about the album, which is why I dont like to consider it a good stand-alone track, but a great addition to the general theme and TDS story.

The Fragile is practically a "The Downward Spiral 2.0", so if you eventually enjoy TDS then go for that one as well. It's alot less accessible and doesnt have many of those tracks that work great on their own but its a fantastic journey.

The most accessible NIN releases though are With Teeth, The Slip and (arguably) Year Zero. Take your pick.

It ain't. There are some accessible tracks like The Beginning Of The End, Survivalism and Capital G but I wouldn't say it's that accessible, at least compared to With Teeth and The Slip.

Hence arguably :p It was my first NIN album and I got into it quite quick, just differs with people I guess.

[Vespertine]

NIN, back in studio?! :awesome: Pretty hate machine and The downward spiral are my favorites! I hope to see them in live!

[Jyrgen]

They've quit touring u know

I think I'll order a cheap Year Zero t-shirt now, costs only 15€

[Milky Joe]

Okay...
But any outstanding tracks? I will sample a few on YouTube before buying an album...

Individual accessible tracks:

Down In It
Head Like a Hole
Terrible Lie
Something I Can Never Have
Wish
Happiness in Slavery
Gave Up
Closer
Piggy
March of the Pigs
Ruiner
Hurt
The Day the World Went Away
We're In This Together
The Great Below
Starfuckers, Inc.
The Hand That Feeds
Only
Right Where It Belongs
Survivalism
Capital G
The Great Destroyer
In This Twilight
1,000,000
Discipline

Take your pick of those, then when you know which you like most, check out the album they're on. Or just The Downward Spiral.

[seregon]

My Violent Heart to add to that list! Just listen to anything :LOL:

[whowhawhere]

Judging from all the ? pics Trent has been posting on nin.com he may very well be working on the next Ghosts release.

I'm really looking forward to the "ultimate" reissue of The Fragile and a rumored collaboration with Gary Numan.

[boomeraangsquad]

Am I the only one who doesn't find TDS accessible at all? :erm: It took quite a while to get into. It is a brilliant album but I'd consider it the least accessible along with Year Zero.

For NIN n00bs, I would suggest Pretty Hate Machine and With Teeth as the first two. Broken is also a good starter album.

It took me ages to get into TDS, even now im not too keen on it as a whole. The Slip is by far the most accessible or Pretty Hate Machine.

[Clunge]

With Teeth took my ages to get into, like 2-3 years.

[Milky Joe]

The first songs I heard by them were Mr Selfdestruct, March of the Pigs, Closer and Hurt. Therefore I got into it first. Not sure if it's the most accessible, but it's definitely easier than the Fragile, and those are their two best albums by general consensus.

[Max]

The Downward Spiral was my first NIN experience and I was hooked straight away. So many twists and turns that I just couldn't resist.

[boomeraangsquad]

lol This is funny because The Fragile was my first NIN album (along with With Teeth) and I liked it straight away. Sure it was lot to digest, but I enjoyed the sound and wanted to listen to more and more of it. The Downward Spiral I got much later and the first listen (as well as the next few) honestly put me off and it wasn't until after a few months that I began to really like it. It's even been growing on me a lot as of recently. Perhaps it is because I was more familiar with the overall sound of The Fragile. TDS was like something I'd never heard before. :LOL:

They are both by far NIN's best albums though. I love them a whole lot. :happy:

[hoodoo oz]

First heard HLAH in 1992 and also the video for Happiness In Slavery, but only really got into them when I bought both Pretty Hate Machine and TDS within a week back in August 1995. Have been a fan of them ever since. My two fav albums of theirs would be The Fragile and Ghosts I - IV.

[hoodoo oz]

Bumpage time!

Right for anyone who may've heard about the Lights In The Sky tour Fan DVDs being made. The first Disc (The gift footage) is out on Christmas Day! :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jVPiROnJ-0

May ba silly question (and a bleated one) but can you buy it in stores? Or is it purely a digital release?

[Carbo]

It's a fan release. Only available on torrents.

[Jyrgen]

Wow I learned the Ruiner solo :nerd:

[GorkerMorker]

Lol at all this 'get into' talk. I swallowed all NiN songs when I first listened to them, but then again, I was incredibly depressed and angsty at the time, everything made sense :LOL:

[Jyrgen]

Sounds very familiar to me :D

[Milky Joe]

It took me a while to get into them, because I heard them at the same time as The Smashing Pumpkins, and automatically found the latter easier to understand, and I still like them more.

[Zürischnurre]

I listened to With_Teeth yesterday. Right where it belongs made me cry. :stunned:

[boomeraangsquad]

RWIB is a beautiful track.

The last 4 With Teeth songs completely make the album imo. Not that the rest isn't great, but those 4 tracks particularly stand out.

[Gunner32]

RWiB is definitely one of my favourite songs ever.

[boomeraangsquad]

Right now I am listening to PHM after having listening to Year Zero and The Slip and the difference in quality is so noticeable. :stunned:

YZ and The Slip are way too distant for my liking. They aren't bad, just not nearly as good imo... Not as passionate and driven as the older albums are and they definitely lack 'something'. Here's to hoping the next album is much more focused. Although, regardless, I am still very excited for new material to come.

[Zürischnurre]

So... Which album should I get next, Year Zero or Ghosts?

[Mobius]

I would say Year Zero, as Ghosts are just random intrumentals. You can get the first 9 tracks of Ghosts for free on the NIN website if you are still interested.

[GorkerMorker]

Yeah get Year Zero, it's a very good album, you'll get more out of it than ghosts.

Also get the free album The Slip if you haven't already.

[Flynn]

Year Zero is one of their best, if not the best.

[Zürischnurre]

Yeah get Year Zero, it's a very good album, you'll get more out of it than ghosts.

Also get the free album The Slip if you haven't already.

That's the first album I got :$

[Zürischnurre]

Yeah, I'll get YZ. Thanks. :)

[Zürischnurre]

Been looking to get into these guys for a while.
What tracks would be good to start with?

First album I got was The Slip, I really liked it, so I bought The Downward Spiral and With_Teeth. I was blown away. :yesey:

Try these songs to get into 'em;

- The Great Below
- No, You don't
- March of The Pigs
- The Day The World Went Away
- Demon Seed
- Piggy


Edit; threefold post? Man, I sure am annoying :p

[boomeraangsquad]

So... Which album should I get next, Year Zero or Ghosts?
Neither. Get The Fragile. :p

[Max]

I'd recommend Year Zero. Save Ghosts for the very end because that's a completely different listening experience, so if you try to listen to it as an album you're going to find it pretty cluttered. :)

[I quit]

Neither. Get The Fragile. :p

My favorite... Left disk is perfect...

[I quit]

It really depends on your taste as to where to start, I tend to like the slower, softer side of NIN. So I would probably suggest

Lights In The Sky
Right Where It Belongs
Something I can Never Have
La Mer
The Day The World Went Away
Into The Void
Just Like You Imagined
The Good Soldier
In This Twilight
Even Deeper
The Fragile
I Do Not Want This
The Great Below

[hoodoo oz]

So... Which album should I get next, Year Zero or Ghosts?

I'd say Ghosts but I'm perhaps bias as Ghosts (along with the Fragile) is my favourite NIN album. It is all instrumental, so perhaps Year Zero is the way to go...

Someone else who thinks the Great Below is a great song!:) Also very haunting...

[boomeraangsquad]

The Great Below used to be my favorite NIN song. It still is one of their top songs imo. So beautiful and haunting. The orchestral section is quite possibly my favorite NIN moment.

Agreed...

[Zürischnurre]

I'll get YZ by the end of the week, there are lots of exams waiting this week *shudders*

Also, The Great Below is a fantastic song. Perhaps my third favourite by 'em.

[shadowkay]

:yesey:


I'm the only one of my irl friends that actually enjoys the fragile and ghosts, I'd go as far to say fragile is my favorite nin album, I love the juxtapositions on the album and it has some beautiful moments. Those people also thought their manchester gig on the wave goodbye tour was terrible, :noey:

[Zürischnurre]

Is it just me, or is the left CD of The Fragile a million times better than The right one?

[boomeraangsquad]

Is it just me, or is the left CD of The Fragile a million times better than The right one?
It is. Every song on the Left Disc is excellent. The right disc isn't nearly as strong as the Left, but it is still pretty damn good.

[Zürischnurre]

Got Year Zero. Very good album, my favourite songs at the moment would be Survivalism, The Warning and The Great Destroyer.


Oh, and I also got myself the first quarter of Ghosts. It had some nice extras, that avatar I'm currently using f.e. :D

(I prefer Ghosts over Y0. Don't shoot me :LOL:)

You'll love all of ghosts :happy:. I think i prefer ghosts over year zero too, tough choice.

Is there a physical release out? Because I don't like downloading. Neither legally, nor ilegally.

[MusoCuts]

You could buy it in 2008 on the officiel website, about 1000 releases i think (my brother gets one, packaging is so beautiful). I've never seen it in stores. But it is ok for downloading legally, Trent says it :yesey:

[Zürischnurre]

^ OK :awesome:

Maybe I'll wait, I really want to get my hands on that Godspeed You! album I listened to the other day...

[boomeraangsquad]

I need to listen to Ghosts again. I've only listened to the whole thing once and didn't think much of it. Perhaps I'll like it more this time around.

[PoisonMeteor]

Is there a physical release out? Because I don't like downloading. Neither legally, nor ilegally.

Yup, i bought mine in HMV in london for about £15, the only place i could find it at the time.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ghosts-I-IV-Nine-Inch-Nails/dp/B0015FQZ94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1268696852&sr=8-1

There were definately more than 100 made of the CD release, might have been the special edition vinyl that was limited? i'm not too sure :unsure:

Its The Slip thats limited to 250,000 CD copies, although you can download that legally for free :p

[hoodoo oz]

I need to listen to Ghosts again. I've only listened to the whole thing once and didn't think much of it. Perhaps I'll like it more this time around.

I won't be surprised. It took me a couple of listens. Along with the Fragile it is my favourite NIN album.

The live version of tgd blew me away

I have lately found out that listening to NIN doesn't help an inch when you're depressed. :p

Already seen this one :awesome:

There's NOTHING better to do than shouting out loud 'Too fucked up to care anymore' whilst being pissed.

[boomeraangsquad]

Broken, bruised, forgotten sore
Too fucked up to care anymore

:awesome:

That is my pissed off song. I love it.

[JessicaSarahS]

I need to listen to Ghosts again. I've only listened to the whole thing once and didn't think much of it. Perhaps I'll like it more this time around.

I've only sat through and purposefully listened to Ghosts twice, but I use it as background music quite a bit.

Oh, and I have quite a few NIN videos on my youtube page, including my favorite from soundcheck. Reptile:
