I would have loved to had gone to the December 4th showing over here but I wasn’t willing to shell out 400 bucks a ticket. They were that much because they were sold out. >:C
Thats an awesome pic! I love NIN! @...camusapprentice: Same. A friend of mine at the Houston show knew some people who had backstage passes. They wouldn’t give them up even though all 4 of them met him before. @...XJC: I hate you and and envious all at the same time.
It’s so sad that the industrial genre has to be generalized and represented to the masses by the way of this stupid group.
And someone will probably have my head for saying that, but that’s how I feel. A lot of people hear the words ‘industrial music’ and rapidly think of NIN, just like saying rapcore used to spring Limp Bizkit in the mainstream.
It’s just insulting if you’re a hardcore of a certain genre (which I’m not) but to me, personally, it aggravates me the fact it’s so overexposed when there’s other music out there much more closer to what the die-hards label as ‘industrial’.
@...Dreth: Generalized? I dunno. I’ve always found Trent Reznor’s work very interesting. Actually unique imho. He puts his music together in a way I have not found to be specifically derivative.
I have never really been into whatever “genre” NIN is supposed to represent. Am still not. But a lot of his music (though not a large percentage by any means) just strikes a chord…
what I wouldnt give to see that man in person…
I was there. It was fucking unbelievable.

I haven’t really been impressed by him since Downward Spiral.

@...deuce: This. Also, I went to said album tour, and it was good.

Business will always be business I guess.

Guy’s a dick.
I just discovered NIN last year, so I’m still loving them.
