NiN Bonanza... (jonny cash track too)

locutus12 · 12 Aug 2006 at 03:10

i wish to create more NiN (Nine Inch Nails) fans... dont be scared by the name o timid people, its not screamy shouty RAAAAR death rock, its proper music with a dark slant performed by Trent Reznor - a Classically trained pianist, and his friends. the Live tracks are inside his new orleans home, Gone was performed in his living room.

so please, try it... you may learn something new

What gets on my chebs most about NIN fans is when they constantly drop 'CLASSICLY TRAINED PIANIST!!!' into conversation.

Christ.

I like the band but chill and stop trying to make excuses about post-industrial warblings of a man named Trent.

PS: Anyone remember the Fat Trent phase?

Some good stuff here, Right Where is Belongs is a solid track

I'd like to see a proper vid for it

IceBus · 12 Aug 2006 at 13:36

That version of 'Becoming' is immense

I must get a proper version of The Perfect Drug on CD some time...

given im the only one on here who talks often about the guy and given i only found out about him being a pianist 2 months back, and given the only time NiN have been talked about is in the odd post, your way out of line.

not only that but your post has nothing to do with the topic, just a negative mini rant, i put this up for people who havent heard NiN and may be interested, not for miserable buggers like yourself to come moan about because they are board.

incidentally i dropped the fact that he is a classically trained pianist into the thread as the name Nine Inch Nails, may scare some people off, hence knowing there is an authentic musical/instrumental basis to the work may entice them to listen.

basically youve decided to be real harsh about my post because the guy can play the piano? and youve decided to take the **** out of a guy because at one point he got a little chubby, not fat, what kind of **** posting is that ?

basically penski if your gonna be negative in a thread thats supposed to be there for a possitive reason, you can go else where.

Broken/Fixed were cracking and the odd track off other albums like Heresy were great, you can keep the rest.

HOLY WASTED POST BATMAN! :eek:

if your not going to come here to talk about the music, why bother, do you enjoy spamming and trolling ? im fed up of never being able to put a topic up on these forums without having someone nit pick about something and jumping down the O.P.`s throat for it. I mean for crying out loud, its a music thread, if you dont like the music, or the performer, you dont post. But to go out of your way to nit pick about a tiny detail of the O.P. i swear this place is going down the toilet at times.

dear christ, is it possible, just once, to have a topic on this forum where someone firstly, sticks to the topic, secondly, doesnt troll or spam it, and 3rdly, if a person doesnt like something about the post, then they simply dont post about it (unless its something that is factually untrue, as opposed to it being true but you just personally dont like it), avoiding antagonising the O.P. causing litter in a thread, and causing others to continue to dribble over the rest of the thread with crud like "chill winston"

i'll admit i'd not listened to any NiN until about a week ago, purely due to their name - i expected it to be a lot more rough than it is.

i only listened to a few tracks recently as ive started getting into heavier bands and i thought i'd give them a try - how wrong could i have been!

love what ive heard so far, and also recommend them to anyone wanting something a little different.

What have you heard so far? To me, 'The Fragile' is the best mixture of hard and soft NIN. 'Terrible Lie' is also a must hear track

No, it's a forum. It's what they're for!

Also, he didn't spam or troll your post. He made an observation, which if you ask me, is true. NiN fans do drop that little factlet far more often than they should. He even said he liked them. Shut your whining.

William · 12 Aug 2006 at 19:14

I think what Penski means, and I definately if he means, it agree on... is that Reznor's vague qualification of a 'classically trained pianist' is used as a justification to claim that NiN is superior music. Spurious claims are too often made on the basis of the skill of muscians, the technical complexity of a piece of music rather than judgement on the sound. Whilst having highly talented muscians can increase the liklihood of producing a good sounds, it doesn't mean that it is going to be better than somthing made by four kids in a basement.

Unlike you, I have a life outside of the forums; at no point did I mention the forums in my post. Part of this life outside the forums includes conversation with other human beings. Conversation regularly turns to music for most people.

ODDLY ENOUGH, every time someone mentions NIN to me and I confirm that I am a fan they something along the lines of "Ah! Trent's a classically-trained pianist!"

not only that but your post has nothing to do with the topic, just a negative mini rant, i put this up for people who havent heard NiN and may be interested, not for miserable buggers like yourself to come moan about because they are board.

My post is about NIN, the thread is about NIN so it most definitely on-topic. If you feel otherwise, please report my post to the moderators. Alternatively, email someone about it; you may get an automated reply...if you're lucky.

incidentally i dropped the fact that he is a classically trained pianist into the thread as the name Nine Inch Nails, may scare some people off, hence knowing there is an authentic musical/instrumental basis to the work may entice them to listen.

That's what irritates me - it's always mentioned in a 'OMFG! IT'S REAL MUSIC! CLASSICALLY TRAINED!!!!' manner. It is as though you're ashamed of liking music that's slightly 'grrr' or as if you feel that a musicians qualifications has ANY bearing on the quality of music they produce.

basically youve decided to be real harsh about my post because the guy can play the piano?

No. I decided to be harsh about you engaging in activity which is very tired and gets on my nerves.

and youve decided to take the **** out of a guy because at one point he got a little chubby, not fat, what kind of **** posting is that ?

Fat-Trent was ****ing hilarious. Even he admitted it.

basically penski if your gonna be negative in a thread thats supposed to be there for a possitive reason, you can go else where.

I'm not being negative, I am making an accurate and honest observation; one which is echoed by others.

Seriously, using "Trent Reznor is a classically trained pianist" to argue that 'OMFG NIN ARE THEH AWESOME!!!' is like using "I'm a classically-trained masturbator" To argue that you are a good lover. It just doesn't work.

May I suggest that, if you cannot accept that people have opinions which differ to your own, you turn your PC off and go for a walk?
