NINE INCH NAILS ARE FUCKING BACK, BABY!

[brutal_descent]

NOTE FROM TRENT:
Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.
I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.
The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.
Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.
TR

[brutal_descent]

I don't think I'd ever say this for another band, but I don't give a shit where those summer dates are... I'm going to be at one of them.

[VoidFlame]

Awesome! :party:

[W0unds]

Great news, if there were any East Coast dates this summer I will try my best to attend.

[300%_Density]

What a SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK line up of new NIN now. Adrian Belew? That arena tour in the fall. I will be there as well.

Probably the BEST live show/setup I've ever been to when I saw them w/ Boris in '08.

You could pretty much see this coming however. Doesn't cheapen it at all for me.

[electrocute1031]

I kind of had a feeling NIN would be back eventually. I figured once Al brought Ministry back that NIN would be back to. I'm not sure why but I'm glad I was right.

[Jochen]

I figured Trent would have NIN tour again and I'm very excited. I saw them on the 2006 With Teeth Summer tour and it was an incredible show. Every so often I regret being too lazy/stupid to not seeing their two Chicago shows on the Wave Goodbye tour. I won't make that mistake again. Hopefully.

[InFlamesOfBirchmen]

Uhh...Adrian Belew? HOLY SHIT! As someone who missed the NIN train by a year or two, I'm beyond thrilled!

[mankvill]

Will not miss them again.

[300%_Density]

Will not miss them again.

Too bad you missed them w/ BORIS. I sure didn't!!! I'd like to see Boris again, don't remember a whole lot from them when I saw them.

But if NIN comes to Sprint in the fall. You will see the BEST stage show you will ever see.

I wouldn't voluntarily drive into Columbia for Iron Fucking Maiden.

























unless they were playing at Booches <3

[anomynous]

In other words, How to Destroy Angels isn't taking off like Trent hoped it would

I don't think its possible to see any band Trent is in and not think of him as NIN and nothing else. They were just too huge to think he could do something not NIN and have it succeed at all.

[detuned]

uhh, the album hasnt even come out yet, nor has the tour started, let alone gone on sale

trent has been hinting at a nin return for a while now, surely has nothing to do with htda

[RampinUp46]

The second I heard about Kyuss Lives! and Ministry reuniting, I knew this would happen eventually.

...Still, FUCK YES, THEY'RE BACK. :party:

[fonzbear2000]

Some of the best news of the year so far!

[Coma323]

Wasn't the plan all along to take some time off only to come back?
Either way this is great fucking news!

[TonyD]

I'd really like to see this

[anomynous]

Their EP has been out for forever, and nobody cared about it.

It's not HTDA (or is it? i don't really know) but people creamed themselves over his work doing the soundtrack to The Social Network, so there's definitely buzz over him for stuff other than NIN.

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

I'd really like to see this

Go to Lollapalooza they, NIN, will be one of the headliners.

Yeah, I know. It's just not for HTDA.

kinda a big difference between an independent EP and a major label debut album

Boundless sexual arousal.

Glad They are coming back but why Lollapalooza??:flame:

[dcmetal108]

Because seeing them with 100,000 other people in a big field from 20,000 feet away is fun! Right!?!

I actually thought the first How To Destroy Angels EP was fucking awesome. The new one is just okay. Ice Age is a cool song.

I keep thinking the same thing when they land so high on festival lineups.

[hiddenzombie013]

So I'm pretty sure I just found confirmation that NIN is coming to Orlando, FL. I was looking at the page for the Justin Timberlake show coming (don't judge me) and started looking at the various seating charts. Most of the shows coming had their own separate seating charts, and I noticed that one of the charts is titled "NIN" with a GA floor (all of the other shows coming up have seats on the floor). No date for it, but I would guess it is between the end of October and the beginning of November (around the time of Voodoo and MOEMS).

[Coma323]

I got a 2-day ticket to the horrible Made in America festival a month or so ago. Once the day they play is listed I'm selling the other day. Just hoping that QotSA are also playing the same day as that's pretty much the only other band I have interest in seeing.

[ravenheart]

Wait, what? Adrian Belew from King Crimson?

Holy shit, a show at the Garden worth seeing. Awesome.

[adamclark52]

As awesome as it is that NIN are bringing some solid openers I DO NOT think I would want to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor as openers or in an arena.

[christopher]

Cool! I'll be there!

[anomynous]

Not a huge fan, but I'm might go see them.

[Coma323]

Nice, enjoying the song and will definitely go to the Boston and Brooklyn shows. The last time I saw them was one of the best shows I've ever seen, can not wait for these shows.

[ShatteredFlame]

That's incredible. Brooklyn date or NJ date for me.

Haven't been this pumped for a concert in so long! :party:

[W0unds]

I like the new song and will definitely be going to the Toronto date. Their Lights in the Sky tour was one of the best live shows I have seen.

[RampinUp46]

Hmm, something worth saving up for! :party:

[smearCampaign]

With EITS!?! I will definitely do the San Antonio show. Highly considering the Voodoo Experience in NOLA too.

Lights in the Sky tour in '08 is probably the best show I've ever been to.

All FACT!!!!

Add October 21st in Raleigh, NC at the PNC Arena to the list.

[fonzbear2000]

I'm really digging the new song, however my most favorite 2 albums are Downward Spiral and Fragile and I don't think those will ever be topped. And it seems that after those, Trent kind of ran out of creative power and has kind of repeated a lot of things on the albums that followed. I still really enjoyed those albums a lot, but they're just not as exciting and interesting as my favorite 2.

[Derelict]

Adrien Belew already out...man, Reznor must be a cock to work with.

[InFlamesOfBirchmen]

Adrien Belew already out...man, Reznor must be a cock to work with.

Has it been confirmed yet? I keep hearing different things. Last I heard is that he's still in.

[300%_Density]

I think he might be tough to work w/ but in all honesty, Trent is NIN. He is the final say. That's probably why they've been through so many members. He's better off getting a guitar player who's not a big name. A big guitar player would probably want to do their own thing, rather than what Trent wants. Lets be honest, Adrian fuckin Belew doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do. Of course I figured he'd know ahead time its Trents show. If he is out its best do it before the tour starts. Hopefully its not true, I'd love to see such a great guitar player w/ NIN.

[fonzbear2000]

It's been confirmed: http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=190942 And last month the bass player quit as well?! Damn!

[MPF]

I had no clue that Adrian Belew was even IN Nine Inch Nails :lol:

[HugeRockStar]

Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You Black Emperor splitting the opening dates, did Trent just discover Post Rock or something lol?

Looking forward to the Montreal date!

No different on the Lights In The Sky tour. Are there really tons of metal bands that can sell upper and lower level of an arena? Pretty sure they do an arena because of the fact their stage and light show is so incredibly huge. No way their show would work at a theater.

Let's not discount the popularity of NIN. For a lot of people, they're is a throwback act.

[300%_Density]

Gotta say I'm a little disappointed w/ NIN. Looks like they are trying to milk this reunion for all its worth. On Lights In The Sky w/ the EXACT same setup (arenas, end stage, GA floor, etc...) when I saw them in Tulsa I paid between $45-55 to be on the GA floor. After looking on Ticketmaster out of the 3 or 4 I looked at, the floor is going for $100+. I'm sure it will be an amazing show like Lights In The Sky.

If they say this tour will be an extension of it, then why in the hell is the price literally twice what it was in 2008? I love NIN and they put on the best live stage show I've ever seen but I'm disappointed that they are jacking their prices up all because of the shtick of "reuniting". Kinda reeks of a $ grab.

[AnthG]

I don't know much about the ticketing/touring business, but I have a feeling the band has no control over or even idea of what the prices for their shows are.

[300%_Density]

I don't know much about the ticketing/touring business, but I have a feeling the band has no control over or even idea of what the prices for their shows are.

I'd find that hard to believe that they have little to no control over their ticket prices. That did jog my memory a little bit though... I do also remember that in '08 was when they were independent and now that they signed to Columbia their tickets are sky high.

I get that on a major label the tickets would probably go up a bit, but it seems hard to believe that they go from independent to major label and that doubles the prices of their shows. Again, I don't know for sure but that seems a bit excessive to me.

[smearCampaign]

My tickets for Lights in the Sky in 08 were about $90 each for the floor, through ticketmaster for the Detroit (Auburn Hills) show.

[hiddenzombie013]

FUCK YES Halloween in Orlando!! \m/

I mean, i'm sure they control it somewhat indirectly with how much they get paid by the promoter each show and the stage productions costs and all that, but ultimately it's the promoters who decide what the ticket prices are.

That's easy. Tour income is the only way to pay back the money fronted by the label for recording because record sales don't cover it anymore. When they were fronting the money themselves (and probably doing things on a much lower budget accordingly), there was less to recoup. Now they've got to make more money to pay back Columbia.

And of course, don't rule out the fact that they're only touring again because the money's run out from last time.

Got a GA ticket to the Brooklyn date :party:


They're really strict on beating scalpers. Physical tickets are available but your name is printed on them to which you have to show a valid ID, much better than the ticket less will call.

[Coma323]

Yeah they've been doing the name on tickets thing for awhile. The tickets look a lot cooler than Ticketmaster ones.
For the Wave Goodbye show I didn't even get a ticket, I had to use my credit card as the ticket to get inside.

[mankvill]

If they aren't doing paperless tickets, I'll be able to use my Ticketmaster giftcards to this! Free show :D
