best album: the fragile
favourite album: the downward spiral
for aggressions: broken

[QUOTE=Remedy]Fragile is the total package of what NIN is capable of.[/QUOTE]
Right

The Fragile hit me right on, whereas TDS took me awhile to get into. I love it now, but at first it was too... emotionally heavy and depressive. It still is, but that's one of the reasons I love it. I don't know many people who can make an album that is that powerful.

I spent $80 on a ticket to go see NIN in August the other day, and since then I've been wondering what the atmosphere at NIN shows is generally like. Anyone care to fill me in?[/QUOTE]


You can go to echoingthesound.net and look for the tour journals...there are reviews and comments on every show the band did on this past club tour. It's a good NIN board.

The new dates for the fall tour (with QOTSA) have been announced...finally! :D They are on the 'current' section of the NIN official site and some more are going to be announced later.

Can't wait for this one! I'll probably be making it to the San Antonio show on 10/16. I wish I could make both the Houston and S.A. but by that time I'll be in school so...it gets tough traveling around during the week. Anyway, the countdown begins...again! Heh. :D D@mn, I just hope these shows don't sell out as quick as the club dates did.

This is a shame, I have no desire to see QOTSA.

:(

Oh well.

yesterday NIN played in germany on southside festival; i have read the review and the concert was full of aggression (NIN started the show with Wish)!! (except hurt was a more "quiet" song)
during star****ers, when they came to the bridge, trent shouted "stop, stop,... f*** the bridge" and they didn't played the slower part :D

and today i will see them... i try to get in the first row and i will make some photos for you! i promise....

and the great thing, they haven't played too much With_teeth songs... more older songs :thumb: and the show lasted 1h and 20minutes :)

i found the whole setlist from yesterday

setlist southside 2005:

Pinion

@Kage: if you wanna read the review from southside 2005, here is the link
[url]http://fm4.orf.at/holzmann/199492/main[/url] (it's in german )

Oh man I can't wait until August 22nd, the concert reviews sound great.

Also, did NIN ever cover Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb? I found it on my college network, and it's apparently NIN, PF and David Bowie. I don't think it's genuine but I figured I'd ask anyway.

so i am still alive... to be in the 3rd row is suicide :D but i made some really nice photos and i even got the string from the guitarist, who smashed his guitar at the end and the whole neck flought into my direction and i was one of 10 people who grabbed it and fought for it... after 5minutes there were only 5left and we decided to divide the guitar, i got the the g string ( i think) and 3 guys fought for the guitarneck... i am happy with my string, cause i really don't know who got the neck . but i wanna have a string than nothing. :thumb:
so his guitar (the red fender ) is history .. [url]http://fm4.orf.at/holzmann/199492/main[/url] on the first photo you can see the red guitar, it's a picture from the the festival one day before (one of the ****ty one)

dresden dolls were great too... great support ...they played even a cover version of war pigs from black sabbath ( which i am going to see on 20.6 together with velvet revolver and black label society :thumb: )

alltogether 5microphones were damaged, 2guitars (trent threw his black dean guitar into the crowd.... 1metre beside me , but the security saved it...so nobody got it) dozen of waterbottles were flying through the air and one keyboard was damaged...during hurt!! trent played hurt and at the end of the song the microphone felt cause the pillar was so weak... trent tried to fix it (the song wasn't over... about 30sec were left), but the pillar with the micro felt once again, so Trent made one footstep back and kicked the whole keyboard down :naughty:
then one guy(from the backstage) came on the stage to fix the keyboard and trent , 4metres behind him, took a waterbottle, layed it on his Pen,is and pisses (symbolical) on him with water... :D

during star****ers inc. (he even played the bridge today, not so like the day before) we started to sing the part "don't you, don't you" and then everybody stopped and was waiting for trent for saying "Fu,ck you", but he stood there, smiled at us and said nothing,... then we once again started to sing "don't you don't you, don't you" faster, louder, faster louder, faster louder... until trent shouted "FU,CK YOU" :D

at the end he said: “In the last two days we had 2 shi,ttty concerts in germany, and we thought we are going to kill ourself, but you saved us. Thank you, you’re the greatest crowd…..” :D

I'd absolutely love to hear 'Mr.SelfDestruct' as well as 'The Becoming'..it'd be interesting.

I'd lov to hear Something I Can Never Have live too... That would be awesome. Because every version I have of that song is extremely emotional, I love it.

:rolleyes: haven't you seen my review of the concert i've been? :confused: :angry:
he played something i can never have ... and he plays it often

[QUOTE=repcak]:rolleyes: haven't you seen my review of the concert i've been? :confused: :angry:

I know he did, I read it.
And yeah I know its played often, but I've never seen it, and I want to :p

Can't wait, NIN is coming October 19th to the Toyota Center, which means I'll be able to get tickets this time! What an amazing show it will be with QOTSA.

maybe i am gonna to see qotsa this summer... they are playing on 2 festivals this summer... but i am not such a big fan of them. i once was, but not now

Edit: anyone saw the photos from the concert? some feedback??

The photos look pretty sweet, and nice review. I like the look of the new band, as opposed to the band during the Fragility Tour. Trent looks refreshed. Can't wait to see them in four months.

yes he looks refreshed but he has to many muscles :upset: in his ealier day he looked better.

once one guy said: "arnold reznor turned completly to trent schwarzenegger. He is now the incredible Hulk" ... at first i was eroded at him, but he is right.... it looks weird when a man with such muscles stands on the stage and plays hurt..... :evil:

He does look weird...haha, it doesn't really match his lyrics when this strong man is playing something like Hurt.

yeah... but the mythos trent reznor died for me on the concert, but today i put the with_teeth cd back into my discman and the world was the same... the feeling is back again

one of the great things were that, after the show the guitarst ( i don't know his name) went outside to the aftershow party and he stood there for 2minutes beside me. i wasn't sure if he was it or not; me and a friend debated too long if he is it or not, but then he went... so it was too late to get a sign from him :(

edit: [url]http://www.theninhotline.net/news/index.php[/url]
-> new interviews updated

When i saw them in Austin this past May I also approached Aaron without being too sure if it was him or not...good thing it was him, hehe. Anyway, they walk around pretty freely which is rather cool. Anyway, anyone planning on joining the now offical fan club...the spiral, I think they called it?

hmm new album is ace... right where it belongs is one ace song..tahts all i can say so buh bye

Nope. I once payed $15 for a similar club, and I really regretted it. Much less paying $60 for this one.

Meh. It'll go on sale when it goes on sale.

i can't fell asleep... and its 4am in the morning :upset:

I couldnt fall asleep till 530 am :(

the hand that feeds rocks assssssss

I haven't gone to sleep earlier than 4:30 in weeks.

Long time no post.

The closest show to me is in NYC, on November 3rd. That's a school night, though... but I really, really, really want to go.

[QUOTE=Remedy]I couldnt fall asleep till 530 am :([/QUOTE]

Dude..I get up to go to work then. :lol:

Let's just say I were to go out and buy a NIN album...Which should I buy? I would assume The Downward Spiral, due to my somewhat expansive knowledge of them. [size=1]It did well in the Top 100 album comp[/size]

:lol:

Depends. I recommend The Fragile because it's slightly more accessible, if not more daunting for pure length. Fragile is my personal favorite as well. TDS is darker, more abrasive, and very depressing. It's an emotionally-heavy and burdensom listen, but that's why I like it so much.

In conclusion, either of those two. I'm assuming TDS will be cheaper since it isn't two discs, which may be a deciding factor as well.

Start with The Downward Spiral, and whether you like it or not, get The Fragile anyway. The latter is the best NIN album but not the best introduction to his music.

i would recommend the '...and all that could have been' cd... i started with this one :thumb:

its a 'best of' and its :shock: even live

[QUOTE=Kage]In conclusion, either of those two. I'm assuming TDS will be cheaper since it isn't two discs, which may be a deciding factor as well.[/QUOTE]
If he gets the deluxe TDS, the price might end up being about the same.

absolute killer album, right where it belongs is so depressing...
