d@mn those scalpers...I got tickets for the Austin, Tx show on May 25th

Dammit. I should've gotten those. I live in Houston, but I've been to Stubb's several times. I heard those were easier to get than the Houston ones.

Yeah, Houston sold out extremely fast...and so did Austin but just not as quick...i also live in Houston so of course i tried getting tickets for that show but it didn't work out...so i got them for Austin and well, it isn't so bad since i do go to school here in austin anyway..

Stubb's is cool, and it's not a bad drive at all from Houston.

I probably would've gotten Austin tickets but the dam[COLOR=White]n[/COLOR]ed site wouldn't load. I guess since it's not a huge site it wasn't used to the overload of people going there.

Kage, are you gonna make it to the album release party that is being held in Houston?....I really wish i could make it..but i unfortunately i cant..

He[COLOR=White]ll[/COLOR] yes. I hate to sound fanboy-ish but there's no stopping me from that, since there aren't any ticket sales. Still, I'm going to have to get there early.

I'm officially in a sulk.

I missed the first tickets to the Astoria. That upset me. Then check today, and "WOO! More gigs... all of them sold out, except - London!? YAY!" Go to click, about to convince parents to cough up the dough (i dont have money, let alone a credit card... and it's my birthday this Saturday so i could've gotten away with it probably...) and what is it?

Sold out.

This is starting to get annoying.

Well, they're going to announce more dates for a North American tour in the fall. That's better than nothing I guess, but I still want to see them before they go into the huge arena shows.

maybe some of the shows will be moved to bigger venues...thats what happened when velvet revolver came to austin last november...they were scheduled to perform at Stubbs but postponed in order to be moved into a bigger venue because of the high demand of tickets..and well, alot more tickets went on sale later...and thats really the only reason i made it to that show..

Well, that's probably why they're doing the next tour, since it's obvious there were so many people who didn't get to go. What were they thinking, having a small club tour for their first time out in years?

To make the people who were unable to go even more desperate to see them, and thus selling out the following big-venue tour even more convincingly. Maybe.

:lol:

Da[COLOR=White]m[/COLOR]n them, I say.

Doing a further North America tour in Autumn would make me happy if i wasnt in England...

Holy f[color=white]u[/color]cking sh[color=white]i[/color]t!!!!
Tickets to the Hammerstein Ballroom show sold out in about two hours.
I'm really pissed, and really disappointed.... :upset:

ah, that sucks...that took a while to sell out though..our **** tickets sold out within minutes..starting with the **** pre-sales which sold out in 3mins!... anyway, sorry about that

Again, a shameless bump.

I [I]finally[/I] picked up the And All That Could Have Been DVD. I gotta say it's amazing. The life performances are great, and I love the live interpretations of some of the songs that have more of a heavy rock feel when performed live (Head Like A Hole, for one).

Man, when i first saw "Terrible Lie" on that, I was amazed. That is the best performance of any song I've ever seen.

Also, anyone that hasn't got that, go and get it right now... you won't regret it.
I really like the performance of "Starfuc[SIZE=2]kers[/SIZE] inc" on that. Its great.

*goes to watch the dvd*

Have you seen all the secret special features? There's a very interesting live performance/video of The Day The World Went Away. I loved the performances of La Mer and The Great Below, where they had the three lines behind the band with those images. The visuals on The Great Below were just amazing.

WHA?! where do you get to see that at? That would be awesome, i never heard of that.
where can you see it at? I was just watching a little bit of it, and i was tinking "man, i wish they didn't cut out "when the world went away"...

On the second disc, choose the song Head Like A Hole. When the time gets to about 11:20, press the number 7 on your DVD remote. It will then go to a menu with several bonus features.

There are a few other cool things that I have yet to find, such as alternate camera angles on some songs.

The Frail/The Wretched live on AATCHB was great, I thought. One of my favorite live NIN clips.

Yeah, the camera views you get your remote and theres these little icons that have like a camera looking thing on it at the beggining of the songs with them, and on your remote, when yuo see the icon on the screen, you press "change view" or something like that on the remote.
Thanks so much for that info :thumb:

And all that could have been was my first NIN cd i listened to! i love it.... terrible lie is amazing.
but i've never heard of that dvd feature.....head like a hole on disc 2 and wait till 11:20 and then press 7... hm....
/me is going for CD and DVD recorder

ah... ups... you mean the DVD... oh... **** ... i have only the audio cd.... hm... ****...

I just watched some of the special features, and they are awesome.
Kage, where did you find out about them?

Oh yeah, and has anyone seen the VHS version of "Closure"? And does anyone know when the DVD is supposed to be out? I want to see that because I heard they play "Mr. Self Destruct" on that... and it would be awesome to see that live.

I read it on another message board somewhere. I really really like the video for The Day The World Went Away. That's one of my all time favorite songs, and the video is a great visual representation of it.

I'm gonna go try those alternate camera views.

Yeah, I have the VHS of Closure. I have to say, it's not a great video. It's two tapes, one side is music videos, the other is a live documentary. The music videos are cool, especially the one for Perfect Drug, but the live shows are not so good. The quality is bad, the filming is sub-par, the sound quality is awful. I don't think they play Mr Self Destruct on it, but I could be wrong as I haven't watched it in awhile. It's nowhere [I]near[/I] the greatness of AATCHB in terms of visual or audio. While the performances are good, it's just not a well-made video, in my opinion.

It was supposed to already have come out on DVD, but some legal issues (I think the original record company it came out under is causing problems) set it back, and now I believe it's sort of sitting on the backburner because of the new CD and everything.

No i haven't seen the VHS/DVD version of Closure , but i've seen the trailer on nin.com :thumb:

Kage: which NIN dvd/vhs would you recommend? which are the best you've seen??

Definately get And All That Could Have Been, it's just amazing. The portrayal of those songs is great. I know you have the audio CD of it, but the DVD is necessary as well.

Other than that, if you want to see Closure, I would wait until the DVD comes out. Hopefully that will improve the audio and/or video quality of it. The performances are awesome (Bowie+Trent on hurt :thumb: ). Also, I've seen it for rental at my local video store, so I would check there for it, if you want to see the VHS.

Man... I just watched "The Day The World Went Away" video, and I have to say, I haven't had that many "shivers" while listening to music like that ever since the first time I heard the last part of "Lateralus". That was amazing, it just makes me more bummed out that I can't go to see them live :(
