I didn't like Pretty Hate Machine because it sounded too... 80s.... Except Head Like A Hole, which is another bad@ss song. It's a little too caught up in the chorus, though and it drags on.

Pretty Hate Machine was almost new wave sounding.

I actually kinda liked that Pretty Hate Machine was new wave sounding.

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]
As Med said, it's supposed to be intense, crazy, but very very cool.

[QUOTE=Kaden] I have a question about Hurt. When I listen to it, during the verses it kind of crackles i one ear. Is that just my copy, or does everyone's do that?[/QUOTE]
Yep, that's part of the white noise in the background of that song. Very Trent.


[QUOTE=In Chains 36] Okay, I've been listening to With Teeth, The Fragile, and TDS. I think that The Fragile is by far their best work. The two disc album set is just a wonderful album. I can't think of one song I dislike. Plus, it's very experimental and each song varies. You have your bad@ss songs like No, You Don't and Starfvckers, you have your beautiful melodic songs like La Mer, and experimental songs like Into The Void.

Man, I just love this album.[/QUOTE]
123456. In my opinion the best NIN album and one of my favorite albums of all time. Not necessarily the most important NIN release (obviously that would be TDS), but still the best. It covers everything in one epic release.

I agree, but I'm glad he moved on.

[QUOTE=Kage]I agree, but I'm glad he moved on.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I don't think another album like that would have worked.

I have only TDS and with teeth should I consider getting the fragile or broken

I love PHM. Amazing that he recorded it all himself. You should consider getting that one, so many classics on it.

[QUOTE=cheeto-t]I have only TDS and with teeth should I consider getting the fragile or broken[/QUOTE]
Get the Fragile and Pretty Hate Machine. If you really love the harder, guitar-driven edge of NIN, then Broken is always a good one. It's my least favorite of all NIN albums, because it doesn't flow with the progression like the main albums do.

My highest recommendations go to The Fragile.

[QUOTE=Kage]My highest recommendations go to The Fragile.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I showed some people TDS expecting them to love it, but they just can't get into it. Which is pretty dumb because I keep forgetting that when I wasn't that into NIN, I really disliked that album. But now that I see everything that goes on with it and its conept and the mood, I love it.

Fragile is the total package of what NIN is capable of.

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.

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
Wish
Sin
March of The Pigs
The Line begins to Blur
Something I can never have
The Hand that feeds
Terrible Lie
Closer
Burn
You know what you are?
The Big Come Down
Gave up

@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
