Today's music thread shout out is for all of your Nine Inch Nails fans

[LynneSin]

Great music - Trent Reznor is a genius if you ask me!!

[RebelOne]

1. Don't you mean Nine Inch Nails?

[LynneSin]

2. UGH!!! I must learn to post AFTER I've had my caffeine in the morning

:eyes:

[Misunderestimator]

11. What was it before? Nine Inch Males?

Now that would have made for an interesting thread. :D

[LynneSin]

27. Nine in Nails

:D

[derby378]

3. I gotta say, though, Johnny Cash owns HURT for the ages

But Trent Reznor is one of the best songwriters in the business. Just don't go looking to him for "happy fun bubblegum" music.

[LynneSin]

5. If I wanted "Happy fun bubblegum" music I'd buy a Brittney Spears album

:eyes:

[jonnyblitz]

20. I like his version, though it's chilling to here trent do it live

with the whole audience singing along with him.

[Spider Jerusalem]

32. The best live version is a Reznor/Bowie duet...

from circa '95-'96 (Bowie's "Outside" tour, when NIN was the opening act). Better than the NIN album version, and maybe as good as Cash's cover.

[XemaSab]

40. You're not kidding

I say that's the "Hurt" for the ages. Wasn't a big Bowie fan before the tour, but that song made me a believer.

[johnnie]

45. You should have seen him before his found his shtick

I remember him in his chicken hair days around here.

[kick-ass-bob]

4. Yes.

And he puts on a very freaky show, if you ever see him live.

[LynneSin]

6. Trent/NIN are on my list of concerts I'd love to see

:D

[jonnyblitz]

18. i just saw them at madison square garden in NYC in November

Where were you? :shrug: :P :hi:

great show, too, btw. and Queens of the Stone Age weren't too shabby live either.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. They're no Nickelback...that's for sure.

:hide:

[Richardo]

10. .

:spray:


:hi: MrsG!

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Hi Richardo!

:hi:

[Atmashine]

8. Woohoo!

I got tickets for NIN in February! It'll be the first concert I've ever been to. Well, I did see Sarah Mclaughlin, but that's a little different crowd.

[AllegroRondo]

9. You are in for a treat

I saw Trent in 95 when he toured with David Bowie. He puts on a mind-blowing show.

[xmas74]

13. I love Trent.

I think everyone here already knows that. I'm hoping to see him in concert in Feb.

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. You do?

I never knew...... :o








:rofl:

[xmas74]

16. I had no idea you even knew he existed!

:rofl:

[Initech]

14. Ah, NIN is one of my favorite bands...

That I will never get to see live! I swear that I'm doomed to never see Nine Inch Nails live. Last time they were here (October), they were playing on a weekend I was out of town. Before that, the last show was sold out. Now on the current tour, they're playing nowhere near Los Angeles. I'd have to fly somewhere to see them live. :grr:

[Ariana Celeste]

17. One of my favorites!

Do you have a fave album? I can never seem to choose, usually depends on the one I'm listening to at the moment. :D

:hi:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

21. Either Downward Spiral or The Fragile for me.

[LynneSin]

35. It would have to be Downward Spiral

but I thought With Teeth was great!!

My favorite song though is a remake NIN did of Queen's "Get Down, Make Love". It was definately way better and much cooler/rawer than Queen's version!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

19. He is indeed.

[LaraMN]

22. NIN

:bounce: :toast:
Trent's previously uncharacteristic buff-erosity wierds me out just a bit, but I still think he's divine.:loveya:

[xmas74]

He gave up alcohol and drugs for a Bowflex.

But he's still hot and has gotten more political since rehab.

[LaraMN]

25. I think his more overtly political nature is what made me cross over from

the "he's cool" club, to the "oh wow, he's HOT" team.

[xmas74]

29. He even has a link to Chomsky on his site.

In the past he did interviews where he said that he was apathetic. He just didn't care. Rehab seems to have given him time to think and now he's become extremely political and special interest driven.

Plus, he's still hot at 40!

[LaraMN]

31. 40 is nothin' anymore!

I think he's far more entrancing than he was a decade ago.

[xmas74]

33. He's looking much better now.

And 40 is nothing nowadays. Then again, I'm 31 so I'm looking at 40 in a few years.
But I still miss his hair and the whole shirtless bondage bit. That was really hot.

[LynneSin]

34. He's definately hot but I've heard he's also only 5'6"

And I'm 5'10"

:cry:

Well, at least Robert is 5'11"

:D

[xmas74]

36. I have a friend who met him years ago.

She's 5'8 and says that he was shorter than her. But she said that-nevermind. Just the way she felt being in the same room as him and the way she described it would lock this thread! Supposedly very sexy in person.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

23. Oh ya!

NIN and Trent Reznor fan checking in here.

[Fox Mulder]

24. They're one of my favorites.

:thumbsup:

[kedrys]

26. Saw him in Houston in October

4th time I'd seen NIN live, and the first for the s.o., who was suitably blown away (in more ways than one).

A must for everyone who 1) hasn't seen NIN live yet, and/or 2) would like to see an *extremely* tight and talented band wreak havoc on a crowd.

[jonnyblitz]

28. i missed them in the 90's. I had tickets for the first lolapalooza

but my ship ended up going out to sea ( i was in the navy stationed in Long Beach and had tix for the LA show where they were playing with only one album out, Pretty Hate Machine)so i couldnt go.

i finally saw them this tour for the first time. :thumbsup:

[ronnykmarshall]

30. Did you know ....

right before it was torn down, Trent rented the house where Sharon Tate was murdered?

He even recorded some music there. He made a comment that "I don't think Sharon likes my music" .... because they kept blowing fuses and losing power.

I could not imagine living in that house. It was a beautiful place .... but tooooo creepy considering what happened there.

[xmas74]

37. There's this big story about how Tori Amos

went over there and tried to bake a chicken for him. Supposedly after several hours the chicken was still raw and bloody. They took it as a sign to get the fuck out of that house.

Read it in one of his interviews a long time ago.

[ronnykmarshall]

41. That is so freaky ...

I hate to admit this .... but in 1978 when I was in LA for a Diana Ross concert of all things ..... my brother, my then boyfriend and I drove up to Cielo Drive to the house. (it was my idea) The first time we went up during the day and it spooky for me because I read so much about the murders and stuff. Along the retaining wall someone had spray painted (and it was kind of painted over) "Sharon Tate was a pig". The next night I dared my brother to drive all the way up the hill to the house. When we got to the gate some asshole (not unlike myself for driving up there) had spray painted "Helter Skelter" next to the gate. I almost pissed my pants. We turned around and tired to leave only to be stopped by a security guard that told us to get the fuck out of there.

I'm not suprised that they tore that house down. They have built this horrible massive house on the property that to this day is not complete nor sold. They should have just left the lot empty and let nature take it over.

[xmas74]

43. It is freaky.

I think they should have left the lot empty too. Makes more sense. Does anyone really want to live at that address, different house or not?
And Reznor supposedly kept the front door from the house when they tore it down. That's really freaky.

[ronnykmarshall]

44. That new house won't sell.

No realtor will touch it.

As for the door. He did take it. I don't know what happened to it. I heard it's used as the door to a recording studio.

Too creepy for me. Why would you want something like that?

I can't imagine even sitting in that living room of the old house knowing what happened there. I've seen the crime sceene photos and they are shocking and vile. It was like a battlefield.

[clyrc]

38. I've loved NIN forever!

I saw him in concert once, in 91. I was a very depressed 21 year old at the time, but I loved the concert.

[NMMNG]

39. Indeed

Closer is one of my all-time favorite songs. :evilgrin:

[d_b]

42. I was big fan when I was 13-15.

Right around the time of Downward Spiral. Good stuff.
