NIN taking a break after a 2009 tour w/ Jane's Addiction?

hoping for a jones beach date

They were great at Hammerstein Ballroom back in May of '05.

Anything but MSG or Terminal 5...

they wont play hammerstein or terminal 5 thats ridiculous.
NIN can sell out msg.
the tour will hopefully stop at msg or jones beach.
both if were lucky.

Fuck yes. There is no way in hell the Hammy or T5 is big enough for this behemoth bill. I'd say def MSG, possibly some shed venues too. Jones, PNC, Camden, etc. Maybe some love for LI and NJ, too (Nassau, Meadowlands)

A month-long residency @ Mercury Lounge

i feel like bands a lot of times hint at "breaks" and stuff right before they go on tours to sell tix....it's like NIN went on tour last year and are going again so they want people to buy the tix. i'm not saying this to hate on them (i really want to see them live) but i think it's mostly a business move. he'll probably just take a couple years off to write a new album and come back and tour.

after all these years reznor still thinks he isn't corporate rock? P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C.

stop using corporate rock's infrastructures if you want to be taken serious.

^.....yeah, but thats still a break brah

they should play randalls island a la arcade fire back in 07.

No band that I want to see should ever play Randall's Island.

"they should play randalls island a la arcade fire back in 07."

no they really shouldn't.

NIN/JA is playing at my house, my house.

mabye they will headline a night of APW!!!
APW 09!!!! FTW!!!!!!!

Corporate Rock?
Are you retarded?
The guy gave away and album for free, and it is still available for free.
What corporate musician lets people have his work for free?
Maybe you should just go back to listening to nickelback.

"after all these years reznor still thinks he isn't corporate rock? P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C.

Really?

Google Nine Inch Nails. What he has been doing the last two years might surprise you.

"mabye they will headline a night of APW!!!
APW 09!!!! FTW!!!!!!!"

I know you're only kidding, but has anyone heard anything about APW this year? Is anything going to happen? Or did the inconvenient location, bad layout, unfortunate beer policy, and lackluster lineup do them in?

who exactly booked NIN's tours? what indrastructure sold the tickets? who markets NIN's physical releases? call me retarded all you want :)

Btw I am well aware of his free downloads but are you of the underlying structure of his to still make a living?

MSG fuckers.

1)Because NIN has not played there since the With Teetha tour.For a band that sells out MSG faster then Rod Blago can put his toupe on,the absence of
MSG shows on the last few tours was weird,bruh.

2)Janes has not played MSG since Willie Clinton was being serviced by Monica.I think they canceled a New Years'eve 2003 show there with Marlyn Manson cuz nobody came.This will be a great opportunity for Mr. Carmen Electra to strut his tattoed stuff nearly buff in the big stage.

just reopen mccarren pool for this show.

Hey UN:art:IG, speaking of "underlying structures," YouTube is owned by Google. Just saying.

^^ and then?!

unfornutate beer policy at ATP.....I seem to remember walking all around that place with my beer and going in and out of venues no problem

^ I'm just pointing out that at the end of the day, your link to your YouTube channel is making money for the exact same corporate structure. It's not the same scale, but it's the same basic premise. People make compromises to get their work out there, and at this point complaining about it is a little tiredanymore. NIN has done more to subvert the current corporate structure than most other bands of their position - it's not much, but it's something. And the way you dismiss it out of hand strikes me as a rather tired pose.

All Points West had the beer garden with no views of the stage and a limit of 5 drinks.

I'm sure, by comparison, All Tomorrow's Parties was probably a free-flowing, beer-for-all bacchanalia.

A:1159

my "and then" was more of a rethoric nature. naturally I cought your drift but didn't feel that it is really comparable, and I wasn't even thinking scale.
I have no problem with what you posted in 1159. This could actually lead to a very interesting discussion as the real life impact of NIN's actions over the last bunch of years are hard to measure and make for a fascinating bar/beer/whatever talk. Reznor started doing all this when NIN was a 'made' band, an established one that could easily continue to exist without the boundaries of a direct major label record deal. It's a bit of a stretch to shine a "NIN is the greatest DIY band ever" light on them just because of their recent activities. Nobody said the very same here or elsewhere but between the lines it is always implied. And that is what I find tirdsome.
I'm not here to pick a fight, let's be clear about that but NIN started out as a corporate rock act from the beginning. Do I care about that?! No, not really. I'm a corporate dickweed myself so how could I possibly hold it against someone else?! The fact though remains that Reznor wouldn't be who and where he is in 2009 with out the backing of a corporate structure. He is corporate rock's child who grew up and now rebels a little gainst mummy and daddy while still taking their 'allowances' and still drives their car, metaphoricly speaking. One is welcome to argue all that or call me whatever. All I'm saying is would I be in Reznor's shows I'd keep it a bit on the down and low in terms of anti corp rants when I'm still on the payroll, kind of...
NIN does not equal Fugazi, and with that I do also have no issues. But do NIN's actions really have an effect on new bands and their outlook on 'doing business' and thereby changing a few substiantial things? I dunno, you tell me :)

wow I guess the letter E and W are too close together on the keyboard... duh!

fuck Jones Beach

I normally don't care for show's at the garden, but I saw NIN at MSG on the Fragile tour with A Perfect Circle and it is to this day one of the best show's i have ever attended and I don't even really care for nails quite as much as i used to.

But if this comes around I will be there where ever they fuckin' book it! I'm sort of hoping summer time, and our doors. that will make it all the more epic!

UN:art:IG:
Ironically, I actually don't think we're very far apart on this stuff. Anyway, I agree, NIN isn't much of a model for bands starting out, but I'm glad an "established" act is out there experimenting with different ways of distributing their work. I'm not sure of what's going to come of it, but I think it's a good thing that someone with Reznor's resources is trying - if only because it calls attention to the fact that there are other channels out there. I admit it's a bit late in his career for this sudden DIY conversion (and I absolutely agree NIN is no Fugazi), but I still give him credit for the effort. He can afford to experiment with different models, and at the very least people can learn from those expereiments. It's not perfect, but nothing else is either. Whatever moves things forward.
And now, I've got to get back to my own corporate job.

cheers to your last post

I used to like UNatrIG until he came in here and made retarded points.

Whose payroll is he still on? He isn't on a major record label anymore. If you mean royalties, it's ridiculous to even suggest that someone stop receiving royalties for a body of work they created themselves throughout the years. If you have the problem with his touring, then how else would you like an act of the scale of Nine Inch Nails to put on a successful tour that caters to their thousands of fans? Nobody claimed NIN was the most DIY band out there, but they've taken effective steps to become independent in recent years.

Janes Addiction created and defined alternative rock?They sounded (and looked) like a glammed up sunset strip cock rock band.

The only thing that gave it any "alternative" flavour was the cat from Queens' psychedelic singing and lyrics.But the music is something Fred Durst listened to while writing "Nookie".

UN:art:IG:
Thanks.

(And now back to work for real.)

its about time trent. go home and retire already. your music is getting lame. you have no more creative thought.

I love NIN and Jane's, NY loves you too!

10:34 is right on. nin at hammerstein in may of '05 was the fucking best.

2:36-douchebag

hi my name is trent. i can't sellout my shows anymore. so i asked jane's addiction to help sell tickets. I also hate MTV cause they sold out. I know david navarro sold out to mtv, but i still need him to help fill seats with his fans.

hi i posted at 6:36. i am a complete piece of shit who has no life and needs to get the shit kicked out of me. please someone fuck me up. thanks

Lion's Den

It's specifically going to be an outdoor venue tour, meaning Jones Beach, PNC, and Camden. MSG would work so there'd be a possibility but this bill is way too big to have club shows (unless you want to pay $150 a ticket) should be a great tour and Trent always says that he is going away, most likely he'll take a year or two off and be back in the new decade

June 26th @ Jones Beach

Jones Beach sux.

NIN at Hammerstein in May '05 was the best.

6:36- you didnt make me LOL, but you did make me chuckle.
