re: limited edition posters ...

I'm all about these... and keeping this art form alive, I have a few myself (not NIN) ... but it worries me that these were commissioned by the promoters and not NIN - especially since NIN so closely own and maintain their own visual identity (Rob Sheridan). I really don't like the image created at all..does nothing for me.

yeah, it was a nasty show, but i don't think there were any children made.

QOTD! Hahaha!

But yes i agree the imagery does not coincide with the current NIN, or the past for that matter. But i bought one nonetheless, cause I missed out on the tour dates tee and I just wanted something with a goddamn date on it.

Seems like the States are getting a really awesome big bang end to the entire NIN era. Damn jealous but glad Trent is doing so much for his fans... I'm pretty sure we'll have good things to come... NIN or not.

edit: ooo i received the poster today. Quality is top notch, art is nice but the colors dont really stand out. But still looks pretty nice on my wall... =)

Cool.... yeah it's better than nothing I guess! I wanted a tee but before the show all they had left was womens small. And I was hoping there would be a cool poster, but nope - just the boring black and white one. Oh well.

Awwwe, thank you Shruti!
*hugs*
It was a pleasure to have met you and befriended you as well

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

So I do not want to jinx myself, but i might have a surprise for you guys on the DVD when i (finally) mail it to you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's just say that no matter where I go on this thursday, I will take a piece of all 14 of you with me! I miss you guys sooooo much! You have no idea!

<3 ya NIN15!



Edit: and i will post for everyone else that I did not meet on youtube!

I’ve been a NIN fan since I was 11, I have never been any other concerts prior cause seriously I don’t think it worth going to concert that I just feel deep down is not going to faze me, and especially if you’re from Malaysia you may probably get me spot on with the sentiment I just shared about concerts. NIN concert need I say more, there is nothing mediocre about the experience. It should be on the list of bands to see before you die.
And since I’ve had the chance to experience NIN, to see it was sensory overdrive and so much so I doubt I will be able to go to any other concert (even I do go it will be to shake of the memory of this one) after this cause my expectations have been sky rocketed which I doubt any other live band after this will be able to reach. Yea perhaps if I could see MJ live that would be in the NIN gratify pleasure zone but since he’s just as dead as Ian Curtis I guess we can over look this point of no return. Everything about the concert was worth it, the budget that burned a hole in my finance, lack of sleep, the building fever, lost in Singapore before the concert and finally the NIN. I walked out the concert without a fever but I lost my voice.

It’s really nice to see that I’m not the only one feeling the degree of accumulated gratefulness in having the chance to see NIN live and going through post NIN syndrome of depression and mundaness of everyday life. The jagged detachness of all things by days among life. Boredom.

Since the NIN concert in Singapore, I can’t seem to shake of the effect, I find myself like some depraved junkie going through all the usual symptoms of withdrawals and more depression who’s got to get his fix-- more NIN concert, I was secretly hoping he stop by Malaysia (hahaha as silly as that sounds). I’m really envious to those who got to meet Trent in person, it’s a chance of a lifetime and I’m sure you will treasure the memory to your graves. The day after the concert, I was so pumped out I had to write it out a honest heartfelt letter or fan mail somehow I wondered and hoped that Trent would come to notice, well hoped but not so hopeless yet. I’ve got a poem too, but I will send it in only if I finish it. Anyway I’m going to post this non-edit letter so you guys can see and maybe even tell me if I can send this in and where.


Come to think of it, this would be a good place to start a petition for the next NIN concert which I don’t know when, but hey Trent will have to take notice that he’s badly wanted at Singapore. The concert was larger than life; it has changed my life or me in some ways.

Yeah so who’s up for a petition?



To Trent and fellow members of Nine Inch Nails
11/09/2009

After the show you did last night at Singapore, returning back home to Malaysia I find myself at a sort of a loss, like in a pathetic way thinking that my life has been fulfilled and that I’m wondering what I’m doing here or what I should do next. I wake up from a 3 hour sleep to the next day perfectly alert and wide eyed laying in wait on what I should do next, reviewing the memories of a concert THAT BLEW ME AWAY. Well you blew everybody away at Singapore. I’m not sure why I’m writing this and I don’t know if you will ever get to read this or I may just scrape it off and knock myself silly thinking this was stupid. But I’ve got this terrible urge to write this, to express my joy of the show and to the band and secretly hope that you will get to read this. I don’t know what was it about the concert that felt larger than life, was it cause in South east Asia we are fucking deprived of good solid rock acts or that it WAS A BIG DEAL cause Nine Inch Nails was playing or that it’s the last Tour.
A Wave Goodbye tour, a GOODBYE to everything fucking decent that your music has brought to the scene- -to the world. To the relative fact to me THIS WAS GOOD FUCKING ART. It’s up there with the other real ones. I can understand if you want to take a hiatus or that you felt that you didn’t want your art to be cheapen, to be normalize as just another piece of commodity art in mainstream pop culture. That you would want it to supersede itself to become more than just that, your work to take a life of its own and to be entrenched into our cultural landscape global or local. To be always relevant, timeless, damn that’s art expression at its highest for me I think.

This might just be ramblings of an individual recovering from a pleasant shock you might think, but at least you know how much you and your band have atone us with amazement and wonderment. Dude, my friend told me you made him cry throughout the show believe it or not. I shed tears of joy once I was back in my pad and on my bed before I closed my eyes. You may or may have not seen me in the mass of crowd, but I was fucking mad hopper whenever the music kicked on overdrive and I think in the middle row I was like jumping up the highest, man, either with hands, fingers or fist up. I screamed the lyrics till I lost my voice. And maybe possibly you may have heard us when me and my buddy screamed for an encore performance for Getting Smaller but the rendition of Hurt was a much better choice that closed the night with adoration, love and goodbyes for now.


Trent, dude, man, We love you and we love Nine Inch Nails. If and when you do get yourself back to playing tours again, and I know I speak for the rest of the Nine inch nails fans who reside in South east asia. Dude, come back and play for us again. I wish you much success in all your future endeavors and projects. Personally I’ve always felt you had the Midas touch, and I’m not sure if it’s your good taste or that it’s just you. This isn’t just another fan mail, it’s my attempt to shake your hand with both hands and say “Thank you, and how do you do it? Take care and God Bless.


Your fan
HP,Malaysia

ya i know even if there is going to be another tour its a long way down...but still would be nice to see the names grow with all the additions, till eventually even if NIN does not tour again at least there's a shit load of names of people who want NIN to play and the list just goes on...all the request piling up like some Tower of Babel..haha

What a depressing day...

I wanted to say, and I sincerely 100% mean this, I have no bad feelings anymore about not getting a final ticket.

LIE!!!!!! Oh the lies I tell!!! Liar Liar, my pants are on fire!

No, i seriously felt that way at the time i wrote the above quote. But two days before the concert i went into a mode that i felt i need just one last show. As i wrote you guys in the email, i need closure er whatever.

Anyway, I was looking for something in this thread and came across what i wrote above and had to laugh a little at myself. But I seriously meant that when i wrote it... just changed my mind later.

After Singapore and the final Wiltern show, I dont think i can go to a large concert for a long time. It just wont feel the same seeing as I was so connected at the those concerts.

Also, like others have posted elsewhere, it really, really did kill to see the top banner change to "Right now: No more shows."

As Billy Shakes said, "parting is such sweet sorrow..."

hey Razmode, have you put up the vids of the singapore concert? I found a video of the singapore before NIN went on stage!

yo guys whats going on?!?!

Still reeling from the amazing Singapore show!! I wish I lived in the States for sheer convenience with those final dates but yes....a slight geographic problem there...
anyways I thought I'd pick up one of those LAMC promo posters....shall look nice on the wall next to the 20 tiny versions i picked up at the show hahaha...

now...I don't want to lose friends here but I'm really hoping NIN don't reunite....in 10 years....just like every other band....for me Trent is in his own league when it comes to music and to see him return like every other band would be a bit of a low blow for me....I want nothing more than for Trent to keep making music (which I know he will)....I just think the whole 'wave goodbye' was more meaningful than an 'indefinite hiatus'....

I really hope Trent gets into more game and movie soundtracks......he would fucking ROCK THAT SHIT!!

i have to agree a little with what krystal said and i know where you're coming from with that

well how about this, we had to wait so many years or perhaps we never thought we would see the light of day for a NIN concert to ever come "closer" to our shore, i mean this is the first and possibly last NIN concert for us, but does it have to be the first ?

if NIN tours again, they have to come to south east asia more, and i mean MORE.

Happy birthday, Yvonne!
I too, love your framed stuff! I need to get some pics up of my stuff framed. I can't put it up anywhere, unfortunately, because we're renting, so it's just resting against the wall.

Shruti, no massive rush

I miss all you guys. . Mel & Stu, hopefully I'll run into you tomorrow night. If you happen to see this before then, PM me your number!

Ran into Mel and Stu at the Manson gig last night. Total coincidence that we ended up with tickets to the same door, and were heading in at the same time.

I read that tour journal earlier this morning. . . thank you, Sophie. Reading that made me relive my own memories so much more vividly. Some were starting to fade and have no been refreshed What an amazing day that was. .

I'd love to see your videos once you can get them uploaded!

Edit: I've been regularly checking that eBay page, too. . . even though I could never afford anything.
