But I checked the weather for the show and it's supposed to be raining that day, so I'm gonna be on the lawn in the rain At least it'll be cooler--  not in Houston it won't! I'd be there too if I could've convinced any one of my friends/spouse to go. They've all given up on life.

glam rock hamhock posted:It always amazes me how much the worst iTunes is and always has been. For a company that pretends to be all about making slick, easy to use things you'd think they'd at least try and make iTunes not the worst music manager that every existed.  Had an iPhone about 10 years ago and it was good, but gently caress iTunes forever. What a piece of garbage.

I'm with Trent in the pre-internet caveman days - I miss album art, liner notes, and the mystery of an artist. I couldn't go out and buy an armful of albums (or stream them) at the time, so you had to be more selective about what you got. Sometimes it was garbage, mostly it was okay, occasionally it was amazing. You'd listen to the same album over and over to catch the nuances of the music and lyrics - it seemed more an investment than it does now. On the other side, music discovery is easier now, you can listen to basically anything, anywhere, any time you want. A lot of times that makes me feel a little overwhelmed - If I listen to artist X and the first few tracks don't catch me, and the same happens with the next artist I listen to, do I bother with the rest of the recommendations or not? I mean, I can go as deep as I want, but I can definitely see how us old bastards could be a little put off by the feast of tracks we can dive into whenever we want. Feels a little less personal, and like Trent mentioned, it seems music is more just something people listen to while they do other things. Get off my lawn.

Earwicker posted:The problem is if you want really nice album art, liner notes, packaging, and so on you generally need the backing of a label in order to get all that lined up, funded, and done. Which leads to a lot of other problems for the artist - in this case for example Trent has certainly spent a lot of his life dealing with the legal bullshit caused by labels. And as he points out in that 2009 interview, while the percentage of people who paid for Niggy Tardust was disappointingly low, Saul still made more from that release than he would have through a traditional label contract. Oh, for sure on all counts. We're definitely not starving for new music in any sense. I think I just get a little analysis paralysis when it comes to finding new stuff. Sir Lemming posted:There's definitely some "get off my lawn" in that interview, but overall I'm impressed by his humility. He feels a certain way about things, but he's also genuinely trying to understand why everyone else doesn't feel the same and if there's merit to the other side. And it's obviously not just talk, since he's been pretty generous about piracy and stuff despite not liking it in theory. (After a brief fit of rage in the early 2000s, of course) I wasn't too surprised with his thought processes, as I think some of that comes with being an old fart - Trent is only 5 years older then me, and it seems like I more and more think outwardly about stuff as I age (which is fairly common, from what I understand). It's sort of fun to have aged along with him and watched him change, although again, I'm torn between having all the info there is out there about him vs. having him (or any other artist) a little more out of reach. I dunno. Old people stuff.

sticklefifer posted:On the other hand, I didn't have a lot of money to burn growing up. Blowing my allowance on a CD for that one radio hit I really liked and then finding out it's the only good song on the album, then getting $3 for it at a We Buy Used CDs store a month later was pretty disheartening and made me discover less music. I still appreciate music a lot and certain albums still really resonate with me, but I don't miss the crapshoot of the music market at all. Oh yeah, definitely. I think everyone has had that, "This song is great" moment and then the album is a piece of crap. That always sucked - but I think I kept most of the great-single-but-lovely-albums. I agree it is nice to not have to blindly buy music that may or may not suck.

Okay, I have to confess. I don't understand it, it's completely irrational, but I can't stand Ilan Rubin. Every time I see him in a live video, my hate grows. What the hell is wrong with me?

fallenturtle posted:What do people have against him? That's just it - for me, it's completely irrational. I literally don't know anything about the guy aside from his name, he's a drummer, and he works with NIN. The live stream was great (what I got to watch of it). Agreed that it didn't have the Tension tour production, but man - stripped down and grungy is still amazing.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Oh yeah, lining up at 6 in the morning on a Saturday to buy overpriced concert tickets sounds like a blast I mean, that's how we used to get tickets to shows. It was normal to plan on waking up rear end early to get in line for tickets. That's how I saw NIN the first three times iirc.

glam rock hamhock posted:And was it a blast? It wasn't a laugh riot, but it was hanging out with friends, talking to people in line who'd maybe never seen that particular band (or has seen a show we hadn't that was awesome). Trying to guess who was spending big money for front row seats, or listening to people who'd bought tickets as they walked by to see if they mentioned anything like such and such seats were sold out, etc. It was just a lot more social. Of course, we didn't have any other choice, but we still made the best of it.

precision posted:I didn't wait at all. We got there around 7, doors were at 8, there was a pretty long line but we all had our tickets already so it didn't take more than 30 minutes to get in (doors opened early) Same experience, except for the Downward Spiral tour. He bounced a half full water bottle off my (and a couple others) head while I was working my way up front. Nothing like NIN in a smaller venue.

All those industrial music videos were grainy B&W/desaturated back then. Or it was footage of catastrophes or graphic scenes from movies. I remember. I was there. I am old.

Madkal posted:Trent Reznor? Isn't he that guy who does movie scores? He's that guy that wants to shove his fist up yer butt  PHM came out my freshman year of college. I had been getting into the industrial music scene for 2-3 years at that point, but NIN scratched an itch I wasn't even aware of. I remember when Wish came out, a buddy had listened to it and his critique was "Trent learned to play guitar"  Crazy that I've been listening to the guy for that long.

Wild T posted:The worst part about Manson threatening these poor women is that he's just a goddamn dork. He's a dork with a poo poo ton of money, which makes him dangerous, but watching him in interviews it's clear that he's never progressed past being an edgy middle schooler. The interviews where he talk about how he's gang-affiliated are so goddamn cringey. I never got into Manson because of the aesthetic, I guess. Like you said, edgy middle schooler vibe wasn't working for me in my 20s. I remember a buddy of mine saying something like Marilyn Manson would be pretty good if Marilyn Manson wasn't in the band. And he said he's gang affiliated? That's hilarious.
