I just saw them with Soundgarden at Red Rocks and it was one of THE MOST impressive shows I've ever seen.

excellent example. that's as dungeon as it gets (other than the thing that should not be by metallica). both of which are in D.

I also just saw them both nights at Redrocks and in Vegas back in November. Seriously one of the best live shows I've ever seen. NIN has never disappointed me live. They are just as awesome now as they were when I saw them live for the first time during the fragile era tours.

Man, Pretty Hate Machine sounded so damn good in my truck when I was a teenager. I had an S-10 pickup with one helluva stereo system.

The are all creative and excellent musicians. Things change. Be sure to let us know which venue you will be headlining.

Love all the mandatory thread visitors who come just to day 'they suck'... lame post is lame
Haven't been very huge on NIN since the fragile, but my father in law absolutely loves them. I can't say I really vibe off the new direction they have been going but whatever ya know, I have a bunch of old amazing NIN records to keep me company.

I think the backup singers were just a way for Trent to get out of his comfort zone as well as to get out of the somewhat strict routine that NIN had become (he mentions something to this effect in the interview after the show). I agree with Brent, that post Fragile NIN wasn't really my bag, but I'm glad to see Trent is taking some risks, even if it is with the seemingly out of place backup singers.
He's in a different place these days (has a family) and I'm glad to see he isn't taking himself as seriously as maybe he did in the past. He's given himself permission to let the songs breathe a little more and take shape organically with less of his highly analytic way of editing songs. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I like that he is opening himself to new ways of approaching songwriting, because he's one hell of a creative architect/sound engineer! The reason why he said NIN was going to stop touring was because things gotta rather stale at X point in the tours...I'd love to hear him go in more of an Aphex Twin direction with some twisted industrial sounds combined with organic instruments in the mix...more textures and more room for the songs to breathe, but hey that's me...

That's supposed to be heavy? I guess it works for something like the soundtrack to a Saw Movie. Still not my thing when I think of heavy.

Yeah tickets aren't cheap, but they were personally worth it for my wife and I. We didn't pay anywhere near $150 per ticket though. We also had fantastic seats at Red Rocks for both nights. Night 1 our seats were dead center row 4 while night 2 we were a bit off-center in row 3. That's pretty much front row for Redrocks. I paid $108 per ticket through the NIN fan club presale (which is free to join too). I'd gladly pay that again to see NIN play at such a quality venue with an awesome band like Soundgarden. Especially from the setlist differences between both nights. But, YMMV.

Hard to be angry and edgy once you've made it and have the cash to lessen what one is angry about.
"Head like a hole, my fillet isn't sole, and where's my designer water!
I feel so out of control!"
SINGERS: "He's SOOOOOO out of controoooolllll!"
<insert digital noise due to feeding +10db into a digital input>
Just for record, I am a fan of NIN.

Reading al jorgensons book. Hilarious hazing of Trent. You guys gotta read this book. Just the story of el Duce from the mentors is worth the price of the book.
Pretty hate machine is still a top ten cd.

NIN have always pushed forward - sorry if you can't keep up.
Too much bitching & moaning in this thread.
FACT - they have been & always will be 1 of the most progressive rock bands of all time. They aren't here to sell 40 million records & please everyone. If you didn't feel a bit uncomfortable & some people didn't hate it, it wouldn't be NIN
