sorry, but the first shows are in the US in California and Nevada prior to the UK shows. the UK shows were just announced first. The Dresden Dolls have been confirmed as the openers.

what, those are the worst answers ever! it would be one thing if he answered all questions, that way you could get some info out of him, but he actually takes that time out of his busy reznor day to answer a question like
what do you think of the state of music today? insincere how about an answer that actually takes some thought? ready here you go what do you think of the state of music today? well, this is a very good question, and i am happy that you are thinking about it, because its a very important question. but i dont think that there is just one 'state' of music, music is so diverse and multidimensional that to think that it all moves from one state to another is ridicuous. think of it like this, music is dynamic, and moves or remains stagnant in a dynamic way - think of it like giant pot of water being heated on a stove - the different genres are the water bubbles...well i could go on, but as you see, these one word answers SUCK. try to think a little trent.

yeah... teaser of what, 5 seconds of music? ^^
after 6 years of waiting... he's really pulling our legs : P
there is also a tracklisting:
HALO 19 _ NINE INCH NAILS: WITH TEETH ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE? THE COLLECTOR THE HAND THAT FEEDS LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH EVERY DAY IS EXACTLY THE SAME WITH TEETH ONLY GETTING SMALLER SUNSPOTS THE LINE BEGINS TO BLUR BESIDE YOU IN TIME RIGHT WHERE IT BELONGS
"You know what you are?" is a pretty crappy title. though i'm glad the title "My dead friend" hasn't been used eventually...

I've never heard a single thing by NIN, but goshdarnit if i can't shake the feeling of low-level hatred for them. The lyrics i've read quoted on here are absolutely bloody awful, and i kind of get the impression that any kind of "industrial" soundscapery would be a horrible Teeny-Goffic pastiche of any music worth hearing. I could be wrong i suppose, but mister reznor's replies just give the impression of an utter twat desperately hanging on to a fanbase who are losing their angst and losing their interest. Ooooh, mysterious, cultivate the impression of a taciturn, misunderstood genius a bit longer why don't you, no fucker believes it. I hope.
That's probably a bit harsh, by all means recommend me some NIN so i can give it a fair trial. Or just indulge my prejudices and throw the shit-smeared CD out of the window.

"That's probably a bit harsh"
It's not harsh, its just misconcieved, by your own admition you haven't heard a single thing by NIN so i'm not really sure how you can comment on his music.
Your comment about his lyrics carries a little weight but I don't know too many rock or industrial bands with amazing lyrics. Then again I don't think the lyrics are that bad, I think this has been blown all out of proportion on this messageboard.
A few reccomended tracks, ones I think will pleasently surprise you based on your comments:
Leaving Hope Adrift and At Peace A Warm Place The Mark Has Been Made Gone, Still
Those are all instrumentals, which i think Trent is best at, he actualy did an amazing track for a David Lynch film, can't remember what its called though.

Driver Down is the name of the track for the Lynch film Lost Highway if you want to check that out too, there is also a great remix of David Bowie's 'I'm Deranged'.

Aye, i just seem to have cultivated a rather unpleasant image of Tha Nailz from... well, pretty much everything i've ever heard about them. I'll check those tracks out though, ta. Let no man say that my ears are not open-minded.
P.S. I like Lost Highway quite a lot.

Trent Reznor produced the soundtrack and did a couple of tracks for it, I wish he would do more soundtrack stuff, I have a feeling he'll be doing more of this once he's finnished with NIN.

well, I think mr. Shope made a rather good observation - if you didn't start listening to NIN when you were 16 years old And Very Angry, you probably won't like it later on.

On the contrary, I think the "angry teen" generalization that's oft made with NIN is fading with time. I think his music is progressing and loosing more of the "mindless-dress-in-all-black-i-hate-people" fans. I don't see many people with NIN shirts on any more, the name is brought up more now in a social setting. But, then again, who cares who listens to what, if it sounds good to you, then that's all that matters.

you only have to read his last lyrics to see the generalisation is still rightfully in place.

i've read comments on that site a while ago from Trent talking about how long NIN will carry on, he said something about how it can only go on so long, that he's changing as a person and that NIN may no longer be relevant to him sometime and he would do other projects, i'm hoping soundtracks or instrumental albums :)
It will be interesting to see how this album turns out, I don't think there will be many NIN albums after this, if any.
