What do you guys think?

Nine inch nails make typing impractical.

Fucking incredible. Nuff said.

old joke. still funny tho. kudos.

edit: i guess i should answer the question.Trent Reznor is a talented man, and i like his music, but it gets old pretty fast. It's kinda (read, really) depressing.

They're good for some antipersonnel IED's. Some C4, duct tape and a couple boxes of nails works wonders. Work quite well against Posleen.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the tracks that he's done with Dave Grohl turn out on the new album. I'm anxious to know when the tour will be coming through WA.

They are lame-o.

BTW According to Courtney Love, Trent should rename the band 3 inch nails.

And actually, no, using C4 would kind of defeat the purpose as you want something to still be there to get hit by the nails. Think more along the lines of Composition A Class when working with IED's.

I think next time I'll just stick with the finishing nails...not only are my pictures STILL hanging crookedly, I've ruined the plaster as well, now.

Damn you Bob Vila!

I like Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral. The rest of it doesn't do much for me.

O.o i love nine inch nails... Anyone here like Skinny Puppy?

That's impressive. You posted that between the time that I posted mine and the page loaded.

tu tschi tá puééééum tu tschi tuiiiiim :D
Just love it. Great band.

Nine Inch Nails is good...
Skinny Puppy is damn good too...

His work will be around for a long time.

*sighs* Nobody gets the book reference

This thread would be much funnier if we added the author to the title which some grammer

Nine Inch, nails the 21 virgins. :D

I think they really hurt when driven into your side.

Oh, you mean the band....

The only thing I like that Reznor did was the Quake 1 soundtrack.

only heard a couple of songs:
Hurt
Closer
Head Like a Hole
Perfect Drug

theyre not bad, Hurt is a good song

Did anyone hear Johnny Cash covering Hurt?

NIN = Awesome

yea that was a great cover
maybe even better than the original

They are lame-o.

Apparently, you don't have good taste in music.

NIN

O.o i love nine inch nails... Anyone here like Skinny Puppy?
Puppy is back together, out with a new album and touring again! The day I thought I would never see is here! Of course, Nivek is not with Puppy anymore, considering that he's dead and all.

Apparently, you don't have good taste in music.

NIN

Apparently, you don't know what good taste is!

3 inch nails

What do you guys think?

"Like an animal?" I would much rather make love like a human. It's FAR more fun! :D

What do you guys think?

I think with nails like that, you need a manacure.

Trent Reznor is one of the most talented musicians of our time. The man is amazing.

Amen

NIN is one of my absolute favorite bands. They've got a song for every mood, provided your moods are restricted to angry, hatefull, alienated, depressed and near suicidal, like mine are.

How so?

NIN are fantastic. "Closer" plus car stereo plus parents... Fun combination:D

I've just come back from a lecture where we were looking at 'March of the Pigs' :D Great song.

Big Man With a Gun works well too.

How so?

What do you mean how so? The man has musical talent above and beyond most human beings of our time or any time. He has a knack for mixing sounds that you would not expect to be very melodic into his music. He can create a hard-hitting and loud emotional song, followed by a beautiful instrumental piece.

I think that they're currently my favourite band. And that they're incredible.

The only thing I like that Reznor did was the Quake 1 soundtrack.
Yay, I'm not the only one.

Actually, the funniest thing you can do is to get a bunch of people (or just 2) to play "Closer" at about the same time, just a little bit off. It's incredible.

Hmm.
That's like earlier I was listening to "Mayonaise" by the Smashing Pumpkins on three diferrent media players out of sync, and for one bit they all fell into sync and there was this incredible tribal rhythm. It was really cool.

Yes, it's like that. They play off of each other a lot because of the repetitiveness.

Fairly decent and mildly creative/original.

The 21 Virgins

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the tracks that he's done with Dave Grohl turn out on the new album.

New Single, With Teeth Release Date, and Coachella Confirmation posted by Chris (http://www.thefragile.com/index.php)

Nine Inch Nails have set "The Hand That Feeds" as the first single from their forthcoming new album, With Teeth, due out on May 3rd. The track will officially impact radio stations on March 21st.

Sounds like a rap artist fulfilling some prophecy. :p

TR has an interesting ability to layer sounds, somewhat in the way that classical composers could layer instruments together, in order to convey mood and energy.

Fave songs = And All That Could Have Been, Complication, The Mark Has Been Made

Fave remix = Clouser's Ruiner (version)

He has a knack for mixing sounds that you would not expect to be very melodic into his music. He can create a hard-hitting and loud emotional song, followed by a beautiful instrumental piece.

He is not the only one to do this. You truely feel that his talents are on par with JS Bach, Wagner, Mozart, etc? Even Page, Hendrix, Zappa, Lennon?

His songs are only emotional if you are a depressed weirdo. His melodic abilities are not all that, in my opinion. In fact, I dare say he lacks a decent ear for music. The true test of any musician or songwriter is that you can get a feeling across without saying as much, or even playing much. I'm sorry but none of NIN's instrumental pieces would be called "beautiful". My question is will his work stand the test of time?

Are you saying that his songs are complicated compositions?

He is not the only one to do this. You truely feel that his talents are on par with JS Bach, Wagner, Mozart, etc? Even Page, Hendrix, Zappa, Lennon?

Yes.

His songs are only emotional if you are a depressed weirdo.

While many have called me a weirdo, I'm certainly not depressed.

There is no accounting for test.

Yup.

I'm sorry but none of NIN's instrumental pieces would be called "beautiful".

You meant to say that you would not call it beautiful.

My question is will his work stand the test of time?

No one can ever answer that question ahead of time, but I believe it will.

Yes.

You are one of his fans who would buy a bag of shit from TR if he said it was his, wouldn't you?

Sorry, but myself and many others would not call it beautiful. Besides, he's as big a thief as any of the 60's and 70's rockers who stole from the Blues.

I am actually LMFAOWSBS when you say that he is on par with the likes of Lennon, Bach, and Mozart! :p

Enjoy your strange little world.

Sorry, but myself and many others would not call it beautiful.
Then that would be yours and their loss, wouldn't it?

Besides, he's as big a thief as any of the 60's and 70's rockers who stole from the Blues.
Really...'cause I just don't see it.

I am actually LMFAOWSBS when you say that he is on par with the likes of Lennon, Bach, and Mozart! :p
I'm assuming that you're referring to John Lennon, to which Reznor is certainly better than, in my opinion. And he manages to get stronger emotions across with simpler music. Though Beethoven is indeed achnigly beautiful (who is, by the by, better than either Bach or Mozart!), the music is not emotional.

You are one of his fans who would buy a bag of shit from TR if he said it was his, wouldn't you?

No, I just recognize talent when I see it. The man himself would probably be a bit weird to be around.

Sorry, but myself and many others would not call it beautiful.

So?

I am LMFAO that you think I care.

Ditto.

What do you guys think?
The Downward Spiral was good, but they've been pretty lame ever since.

Fuck the blind (or borgeoisie, if you will).

*bump*

"Pretty Hate Machine" wasn't a very good album, but I enjoy the rest of Trent's work, especially the "Broken" EP.
