Does anyone know how good the Aaron's Amphitheater is in Atlanta? Thinking about springing for better seats than lawn just because it's so friggin vast.

Is it weird to want an EP of songs redone in the studio with Pino? Man he's such a great addition.

Going to the Atlanta show tomorrow, 7 hour road trip ahead of me. What cool merch has NIN been shilling at the shows?

I figure that this is a better place to try than elsewhere: I've got decent tickets to the NIN/Soundgarden concert in two days, in Austin. Lots of friends have bailed or are unable to go; I'd rather go with a goon than try to sell it, especially since it's right next to mine. I only have one ticket available, obviously.

Anyone want to go?

i might know someone who is interested who lives in the area

The Soundgarden set for Atlanta really felt like "let's just play all of our singles and a b side or two". Was pretty surprised by the lack of King Animal stuff, but not disappointed. This has been a fun tour so far in terms of the sets that have been coming out.

I'm sure that he's played tracks in recent live shows anyway, but I was just happy to get anything from Pretty Hate Machine.

I think he still plays a bunch of the singles types, HLAH/Terrible Lie/Sin, Sanctified is back on the rotation on occasion Down In It and Something I Can Never Have get play for "special" shows, but he's kind of disowned everything else from that album.

After gestating on the song for a while, he's decided he really doesn't like it as a song on HM, and he doesn't really see where it would fit in a live set. It was originally just supposed to be a bonus track on a Greatest Hits CD anyway.

I like Everything. I'm that guy.

I think its a good song too! I think it is however out of place on the album it's a part of, it probably should have been a B-side to Came Back Haunted or it's own promo or something.

I have no idea how to buy the digital EP on mobile this site is hard to navigate. Is there a direct link to purchase it for download?

figured it out! This definitely sounds like a departure from HM though.

this sounds like a weird mix of HTDA and With Teeth more than Fragile I think, though theres a lot of Right Disc sounding stuff on the first couple tracks.

Vegas show opened with A Warm Place instead of the song from fireman so be on the lookout for that on some of these shows. Tobacco owns and I'm glad they're now confusing 40 year olds everywhere on these NIN shows.

im surprised you guys aren't more annoyed with the cost of tickets, the last two tours they've been charging festival prices for regular shows

the irony is i bet you anything he got his kids tablets.



the ticket prices are really absurd, they're not even justifying the cost of a crazy set, like we had during LITS/some parts of Hesitation Marks.

its weird to see how old man yells at cloud hes being considering the buildup to year zero had all sorts of cool poo poo like finding usb drives in seedy concert hall bathrooms that had secret tracks on them to the arg that led to a secret meetup in a parking lot in la where people who figured out the arg and made it there in time got munition crates full of nin swag and a nin burner phone that would ring about a week later and just tell the holder of the phone an address, where they would be collected via bus and brought to a secret concert that was ended by a swat team raid juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust when they were going to play the perfect drug.





instead you guys got to wait 6.5 hours in the rain to talk to other 30-50 year olds and get some cool pieces of merch and listen to parts of a track like at a sam goody

Yeah, I've heard a lot of people write NIN off as not being good anymore after a certain point (post-Fragile I guess?), but almost all of those people haven't even listened to Year Zero. It's seriously one of their best albums and it's so loving shortsighted to write them off entirely without hearing that album.

nin as great since year zero, an album i'd argue is better than THTF. the slip was okay, i think people were higher on it because it was free, ghosts was amazing, even beyond the marketing for the price and im kinda surprised we haven't gotten another instrumental album, hes marks was alright not a killer, i kinda dig the last couple EPs but in a way similar to the slip and not as much as Year Zero or even hesitation marks.
