This One Is On Us - The Gift

hippybear — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 12:06:31 -0800

12 months, a core team of dozens (with a network of thousands) spanning 3 continents, 4 languages, 5 specialist teams, countless sleepless nights... It's finally here. Filmed in Sacramento, Portland, and Victoria by the Nine Inch Nails team, edited and produced by their fans, The Gift is a stunning work in 1080p High Definition video with 5.1 Surround Sound, multi-language subtitles, and artistically-driven ethics. Just in time for Christmas! The first of the 3 disc blu-ray / DVD document of Nine Inch Nail's "Lights In The Sky" tour has finally been completed and released for torrent download. Some formats available now, others coming soon. The remaining two discs will be released in early 2010. Not sure what the fuss is about? Check out the trailer!

Further down the spiral...

We've seen Nine Inch Nails before on the blue, and the band's last two albums have been available for free online. Now there's more, in the form of a fan-produced DVD. Trent Reznor's last tour was supposedly his last ever, and as a gift to his fans over the years, he put on some special performances. NIN played the entirety of The Downward Spiral album live at Webster Hall in NYC, but due to exorbitant prices charged by LiveNation, were unable to professionally film the performance. So the fans stepped in, a call was made for HD video filmed by fans at the show, and the result is here: The Downward Spiral: Live, a fan-produced DVD available via Youtube streaming or for download with bittorrent.

Last night at the London o2 arena, Gary Numan joined Trent and the gang on stage for an unexpected double bill rendition of Metal and Cars. The crowd went wild....

Nine Inch Nails raises $260,000 in less than one day to help heart patient

Bluecoat93 — Thu, 21 May 2009 11:53:07 -0800

Eric de la Cruz needs a heart transplant. He has a pre-existing medical condition (over and above that), which prevents him from having medical insurance. His sister, former CNN.com reporter Veronica de la Cruz wrote to Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, asking for his help. Last night, Trent posted a plea for donations and an offer to fans to attend a show, hang out with the band, backstage, etc. As of a few minutes ago, over $260,000 in donations have been accepted by NIN on Eric's behalf since last night.

Apple pulls Nine Inch Nails iphone app - However will Trent Reznor respond to censorship by the Man??

njbradburn — Sun, 03 May 2009 07:15:47 -0800

Maybe Apple had never actually listened to the song Closer before approving the Nine Inch Nails iphone app, but Trent Reznor Twitted today that Apple pulled the NIN application from the store due to objectionable content. The objectionable content referenced is "The Downward Spiral." Reznor chatted with digg.com last month and talked about the iphone app's release. Though he has developed a business model for NIN that doesn't include a record label, he still needs distribution portals for their music. NIN fans will go to their website to download music and apps anyway, but the itunes store has a chance to turn new listeners on. However will Trent respond??

Trent Reznor releases a new Nine Inch Nails album out of the fucking blue called Ghosts. The first 9 tracks are free, and it's on The Pirate Bay. The whole thing is $5 (with a slew of other order options) which you can get on their website (which is getting hammered right now), or on Amazon. The digital downloads are 320kbps MP3/FLAC/Apple Lossless. All DRM-free. $5 for the digital download. $10 for the 2CD album, including a link to the digital download. $75 for the Deluxe Edition Package, which includes the album in a fabric slip-cover case, a DVD with the album in multi-track format, and a Bluray disc with the music accompanied by a slideshow. Oh, and there's the $300 ultra-deluxe limited edition (limited to 2,500 units) which includes more shit.

Bend over, Sheila.

"If I could do what I want right now, I would put out my next album ... you could download it from my site at as high a bit-rate as you want [and] pay $4 through PayPal." Former member of Cleveland's own Exotic Birds and Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor flips his lid when he finds out his new album Year Zero is being sold in Australia for $34.99 ($29.10 US). Label responds: "It's because we know you have a real core audience that will pay whatever it costs when you put something out — you know, true fans." Then there's the RIAA accusing Reznor of intentionally leaking his own music. Album is available in its entirety on MySpace. The unique internet-based promotion of this album - what's being called an alternate reality game - has also generated quite a bit of buzz.

Nine Inch Nails live: "Beside You In Time" DVD

JPowers — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 21:12:32 -0800

If anyone can put together a kick-ass concert DVD, it's Trent Reznor. For your consideration: Nine Inch Nail's upcoming "Beside You In Time," which will be released in HD-DVD, Blu-Ray and some format from the late-90's they are referring to as simply DVD (this is apparently the first music DVD ever to be released on all three formats). View the trailer and some clips here in 1080P (if you're computer and eyes can handle it). Or, if you're lucky enough to live in one of the chosen cities, attend a screening.

Trent Reznor with a mullet

Long before Nine Inch Nails and Pigface, Trent Reznor was in a new wave group called Option 30... Here are two videos (flash, youtube) of live performances. Trent's voice is unmistakable in this song, but this cover of "Eyes Without a Face" may make you wish you had a face without ears.

but not better than the famous review of the Tony Toni Tone cd that simply said "shitty shitti shittie"

NIN DIY RELEASES

jmgorman — Sat, 16 Apr 2005 07:07:04 -0800

Trent Reznor (fan site) has just released his latest single as a GarageBand file so that his fans might "create remixes, experiment, embellish or destroy what's there." I loved the Grey Album and hope to see more of this. [Jay-Z and Dangermouse previously discussed.]
