I loved NIN back in the day, but just stay retired dude.

Huge Nails fan, probably my favorite band but not sure...its almost impossible to pick an all time favorite. Back in high school (93-97) I had about 10 different NIN shirts that I wore damn near every day...yeah I was "that guy". Cant wait for this new album, and couldnt disagree with Dane more...With Teeth and The Slip were ****ing great.

I had like 5 NIN shirts...and people always looked at me funny as if it didn't make any sense or if they thought I was being sarcastic because I was a jock/captain of the wrestling team my Junior and Senior year. I didn't give a shit what they thought about it...they obviously hadn't listened to or given NIN a chance. |

With Teeth, Year Zero, etc. were just a collection of songs. Maybe you like those songs better than the songs on The Fragile. But the bottom line is that all of those records were just an extension of what he initially created for The Fragile back in 1997/1998. Quote:
He has not grown as an artist, which was my original point. |

It's played out. Quote:
All of those bands and artists became better at their trade, improved their songwriting and production and most importantly, grew as artists. I'm happy that you like NIN. That's great! But it's ridiculous to argue that Trent Reznor has gone beyond what he initially started more than 15 years ago. |

Sadly, as a reflection of where I'm at with NIN currently, I just purchased tickets for the Sigur Ros show which happens to be on the same night. Oh well, I've seen NIN numerous times anyway.
And just because I'm curious, I'll repeat myself: Quote:

The Rolling Stones - Can't comment, never cared for more than a few songs. The Who - Old stuff was better. Led Zeppelin - Old stuff was better. The Eagles - ****ing suck, don't care. The Police - Old stuff was better. Yes - Seriously? Black Sabbath - Ozzie was way better than Dio. Rush - Who cares Van Halen - DLR was 1000 X's better than Hagar. Nirvana 1000 X's better than Foo Fighters STP - Old stuff was better. Soundgarden - Old stuff was better. Heart - Who cares Deep Purple - Old stuff was better. Your examples suck ass. |

You're not funny. You're just an idiot.
It's not surprising that someone of your extremely limited intellect can't understand the difference between the growth of an artist versus selling out to the fans in order to continue to earn money. Not surprising at all. Oh, and way to dumb down a great thread. |

I probably shouldn't share this but at two different times in my life, I shared a space with the Rage guys. They were all great dudes and were a blast to watch in a small room. But that said, I never met or saw Zach even once. The band would rehearse all the time, write new songs, etc. but Zach was never around. That's not too uncommon, because singers are the last ingredient to a band and there's no reason why a singer should blow out his voice while the band is rehearsing and preparing for the studio or the road. But I *never* saw Zach, which I always thought was odd. |
