“It just dawned on me that this is our last show ever in the United States. Don’t be sad. I’ll keep going. But I think I’m going to lose my mind if I keep doing this, and I have to stop.” Don’t be sad my ass. How would you react, if the frontman of a band that basically has a cult following revolving around it announced the dissolving of over 20 years of musical genius?…
A €15 entrance fee reminds me of the extortionate charge you’d pay to watch your mate’s brother bash out his unique brand of death metal improv in the local badly lit, badly attended, ‘rock’ venue (and in the time it took me to say that, you would have already spent it again at the bar). But lo and behold, it is now the new recession-friendly ticket price for a series of European dates with some…
If you happen to hear the sounds of a million and three alternative fans whooping and hollering in delight over the next few months, it’s probably something to with the Nine Inch Nails/Jane’s Addiction/Street Sweeper tour that’s sweeping the globe this year. Which, surprisingly, we haven’t covered even once – feel free to slap us about the gums for that oversight, readers! But! We do have important news and gifts to make up for it!…
Photo by LtRandazzo A flickr user posted this yesterday, after attending a Nine Inch Nails show, most probably in Saint Louis’ Scottrade Center, on August 20th. The pic perfectly surprises the much feared blue screen of death, that’s been haunting computer geeks around the world! CTR+ALT+DEL :( Anyway, the Windows 98 error screen was obviously faked by NIN, as fun thing. After all, Trent is notoriously known as a huge “Apple fan,” and righteously so…
Yesterday night Trent released a new single over the airwaves and interwebs, titled “Discipline.” This comes just barely a month after his NIN released their most recent LP, the instrumental Ghosts. I’m a bit confused by Trent’s new strategy of releasing mass music, seeing how the band’s members are free agents, free from any label restrictions, this shouldn’t be a problem, but too much can really be too much. This can most obviously be seen…
Robin Finck, the man who played in Nine Inch Nails in the mid 1990s then again in 2000, has rejoined the band. Well they say that 2 wrongs don’t make a right, but now they can do just that. After quite some years in which Chinese Democracy has not been released and after the pretty lame NIN release, Ghosts, there was a need for a change in both bands. Finck toured with Trent Reznor and…
Last week(March 2), Nine Inch Nails shocked the scene, when they released their latest instrumental album “Ghosts: I-IV,” completely out of the blue and most importantly for free, to a certain extent of course. The first volume, out of four, was given out for free, while the complete record was put out in various formats, both digital and physical, ranging from 5$ to 300$ (the deluxe edition with uber NIN merc). Now one week later,…
Artist name: Nine Inch Nails Album name: Ghosts Label: The Null Corporation Gender: Industrial Rock Release date: March 2, 2008 ZMErating: 5/10 Website: www.nin.com Well boys and girls, it’s here! Since it was announced, we’ve all been (more or less) eagerly expecting it, and now it finally reached us. The new ‘groundbreaking’ album from Nine Inch Nails hit the shelves servers and… well… it sucks! Let’s shed some light, first: I gave it a 5…
That’s right mates, Radiohead is no longer just a noun, it’s also a verb now! It means to offer your CD up as a digital download on the Internet and then ask your buyers to pay how much they think it’s worth it. While Radiohead did manage to create a phenomenon in this music industry, it’s still unclear how this strategy will affect them long term. But one thing’s for sure: record labels should…
Yesterday night it seemed like Trent Reznor had his mind set on breaking the interwebs, when, out of the blue, he released Nine Inch Nails’ sixth album, titled “Ghosts I-IV,” under various formats, one of which being free digital download. The new record is actually a four volume compilation, filled with 36 instrumental tracks, recorded in a ten-week period last year, covering a lot of new musical terrain during the almost two hours worth of…
