Well for all of you who had fun with the Tool discussion i would like to invite you to dump your comments on Nine Inch Nails here. I can't wait to hear them. <snicker>

Frost · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 12:07 pm

You won't hear me flame NIN, aside from it being too popular.

Ragnarok · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 1:10 pm

Let me help you.

I have never heard NIN and I don't know what they play or who they are.

This should give the thread some live.

Impaler · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 1:23 pm

I got no digs on NIN. Reznor rocks, if you can stand his usual whine.

NIN is quite good background music, for example the soundtrack of Quake is very nice.

Frost · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 3:16 pm

Oh the only gripe I have against Trent is the ever so lousy SFX in Quake 1.

Seeing NIN in concert (with APC) was a religious experience. Much more so than any church or pow wow I've ever been to.

What is your obsession with my forbidden closet of mystery?

faustgfx · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 4:48 pm

i wear a nin t-shirt most of the time 'cause the logo is fun fun fun.

Pretty Hate Machine and Broken had their moments. and a few tracks from the Closer to God/Further Away two cd thing. and a few on Fragile. but meh, it's a 90% shit 10% ruling ratio.

trent reznor is THE cornflakebox-goth. and no, that's not a good thing.

I enjoyed Downward Spiral, but everything else I heard wasn't very good.

trent's a talented mofo, The Fragile is one of my all time favorite albums, i always just thought of his earlier stuff as "o.k." some great songs with some that just made me go "wtf?"

Guy · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 6:33 pm

well.. i love all his albums. some songs are better then others, but their's nothing that i really hate about NIN. i think trent is a really talented musician (but thats just my opinion). supposedly he's a really nice guy in person too

Too many people like The Downward Spiral best, it's all about The Fragile.

Jezebel · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 7:10 pm

Trent Reznor is a fox. Meeee-YOW. NIN is my all-time favorite band. Concert was amazing. There's not a song I don't like. My current favorite is Just Like You Imagined from The Fragile.

*forrest gump voice*

That's all I got ta say about tha-yat.

PandaX52 · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 7:31 pm

NIN is all about self reflection and a slight pinch of twisted vanity and emotional indulgence.

I really like the wretched...the piano riff-thing in that song is perfect...

(edit) while I'm at it, my spelling may as well be perfect too

Guy · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 7:48 pm

oh yes. The Fragile and things falling apart are my two favorites

The Great Below is such a great song too

PandaX52 · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 8:04 pm

P.S. has anyone heard the song "deadsouls" by NIN? It's either off an album I don't have, or really rare...

I'll upload it, here:

Panda: if there are spaces in your url, use a %20 where the space should be. it will work.

on topic:

I Liked Further down the spiral the best i think...the Fragile also had its good points.

Specific songs?....A Warm Place, Great Below, Perfect Drug, and Piggy(FDTS version).

I can't stand the PD Mixes or Things falling apart...cause they did, they fell apart and sucked.

i think dead souls was off of quake 1. not sure though

Enayla · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 11:28 pm

I love NIN and I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks about them. I don't care if they (or should I say /he/ since it is really just about Trent?) get "too popular" or if the music isn't that "hard" anymore. So what? I loved NIN when I listened to Broken, I love NIN when I listen to Fragile.

Favourite song would most likely be the Wretched... It's just so... strong. Then there's a bunch of other songs of course. Lots of them.

Dead souls is off of The Crow Soundtrack.

faustgfx · Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2001 11:57 pm

reznor is far from being talented.

i've heard zero original or unique material from him. listen through Broke - The Fragile era material, then listen to just about every other big synthpop/industrial name of the late 80's/early 90's and tell me that reznor is not just recirculating old ideas that others came up with.

NIN/Trent Reznor sucks and this is why :

For some arcane reason his music only attracts total dumbfuck teenieboppers that worship him to death cause he seems to embody something that your average 14 year old wants but doesnt have. Uh? i dont even understand myself. What im trying to say is that i�ve seen too many fansites concentrating more on (semi)nude pictures of trent than on his music and that automatically translates into bad music, to me.

Next to that, industrial sucks if it�s not from east germany.

Guy · Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2001 12:15 am

umm.. spitfire. im no teeniebopper. nor do i think jezebel, panda and enayla are. to say that his music only attracts those kinds of people is really lame. i do not worship him. nor do i dress up in weird clothes and look like some freak to see a concert of his. i just like his music for what it is

plus you shouldnt say he sucks. rather just say you dont like him. it usually upsets less people. :P

spitfire: if i were physically living 300 meters away from your place (MWAUAHAHAHA) i'd make you listen to alot of puppy and fla. then you'd see how infidel and simple and boring and repetitive every kind of metal and grind and hard gets so fast..

i doubt anyone here has listened to FLA as much as i have, and i can say that the soundscapes and programming for most of the FLA material made onwards from 1992 is just amazing. complex as fuck. the layers of sound and samples and cacophony and the music itself are just sweet.

a good way to enforce that point is that i've had Hard Wired for 4 years (in fact i own 3 different copies..) and still keep noticing new stuff from the sound layers almost every time i've listened to it.

besides, FLA has been active since 1985 and put out over 90 releases... how many hard/grindcore bands have even sold 10 000 records with their only album that they recorded with their tape recorder in their garage when their angst reached the highest peak? =)
