Stigmurder posted: ME!! I AM!!! NIN and Metallica on one line-up is good enough for me 
Just bought my tickets 
I may be the only one but I love festivals!! 4 days in a field with beer and live bands with no stress and only contactable by my mobile phone. It's my idea of heaven!! As long as I have my inflatable camping mattress, portable hair straighteners, wet wipes, wellies and spare undies then I'm fine 
And if we do also get a UK tour, then I'll go to as many of those shows as I can as well!! If nothing else this past year has taught me that life's too short. I was saving up for new carpets but knickers to that, this will be much more fun!! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/09/2009 11:16AM by Djred. | |

Now if I had my own portaloo - one that I could literally pull out of a hat and erect, with absolute privacy, wherever I was then I'd be happier.
But until technology matches magic and/or fantasies, then it's a no no for me. | |

@ version: yes it was Armstrong & Miller!
don't think the wife's undies would fit me... 
& yes, let's put the lingerie back where it belongs!! | |

I don't mind camping, I do mind not sleeping. I always seem to find the area where every tent in the near area contains people who snores loud, throws up a lot, shags or shouts all night. It's fun when your involved, not so much if your not
 If you drink then you can drink yourself to sleep, if you don't then your stuck with a pillow over your head trying to drown the noise out.
I'll just wait for the photos Red | |

Gah, I'm getting some sort of NIN fever, with everyone's talk of UK concerts.
I hope you all enjoy yourselves, wherever you go. And on another note (I know, I hoard questions to ask, sorry  ) how many of you have bought The Slip? I thought it had sold out, but apparently not?! I'm wondering whether to buy it.Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/09/2009 01:11PM by anon_kaur. | |
Djred posted:Once you're really wasted, you won't give a shit on wet wipes and spare undies anymore 
More than 20 years ago i went to a Psychobilly festival in Belgium for a couple of days and when i came back home, all that was left of my undies was a thin string around my waist - hehehe  | |
version posted: Thanks version
August is ages away but yes I am excited!! - I'm still a big kid at heart and now I know I'm going to see NIN again, I can't control the excitement!! Just wish some of you were going so I can meet you all

Maybee - Sounds like you had a ball
Unfortunately for me things are a lot tamer now than they used to be, because I have my daughter in tow!! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/09/2009 01:49PM by Djred. | |
anon_kaur posted: I'm starting to get excited - I wish they'd hurry up and make some official announcements so I can plan how crazy I'm going to be lol. anon_kaur posted: I bought it, I'm not sure exactly what the situation is with it now - it was rather confused at the time of release. The original press release said numbered limited edition in USA and a few other places (can't remember where exactly) and general release in teh rest of the world (including here). When people started getting them the yseemed to be the numbered version worldwide however. Someone with far more time than me has been tracking where they all ended up here. | |
anon_kaur posted: Anyone can go the gigs. I'm sure they'll be meet ups. We're not all drunken maniacs, having been to 3 meet ups I can say now that everyone is really cool and friendly and possibly not what you'd expect. Considering it's a free download I don't think it's sold out. The CD you can buy is a limited run of CD which are therefore collectable. Not essential buying when you can download the album from NIN.com for free. The Slip Ghost on the other hand It's very different to the other albums. It's worth downloading the first CD (which is free) before deciding what to do next. $5 download is $10 for the CDs. There is a deluxe edition for $75. The site has info Ghost Website I imagine it'd be something you may like | |
wraith posted: The Slip was limited/numbered worldwide - 250,000 copies to be exact (although 1 & 250,000 were kept by someone...) IMO it's worth getting, just for the DVD. yes, you can DL the CD, but its not the same... back on the festival/gig front - if I don't get a permanent post soon I may not be able to go to any shows I definitely will NOT be going to any festivals (made myself quite clear on that, I think! ) but I sincerely hope there'll be some 'proper' shows before the summer (i.e. August) 'cos I want to go away then... having said that, I seem to recall TR saying he hoped to finish up in the Pacific Rim (guessing he means Japan) around August time... & I might be in the area then... | |

wraith posted: Whoa! That's scary! How do they have that information?
SwitchD5 posted: Was this reassurance directed specifically at me? I don't think a bad word against any of you. I look forward to meeting yous, one of these days. 
SwitchD5 posted: Oh thank you! I had no idea. I'll be listening to it tonight. | |
azonei posted: Whoever gets no. 249,999 (or no. 2) has got something special. And I bet they'll auction it on ebay.  | |
anon_kaur posted: The information is entered into that site by the person who bought it. At the top you can see the 'enter information' button. Mine is 32,828 I do have number 306 of the $300 collector edition of Ghost though
It wasn't directly directed at you I was just referring to the pictures posted yesterday from my photobucket. A large number of them appear to be in a pub thats all. | |
SwitchD5 posted: Ah, that's comforting.

Wow, just been lurking in one of the tour threads (this one) and marvelling at the price of tickets. Apparently $150 = £109(ish)
I dunno how much tix for the US shows usually are, but that seems like a hell of a lot! Makes me appreciate living in the UK though... | |
anon_kaur posted: 2,500 signed copies | |
Stigmurder posted: That's ridiculous!! How on earth can they justify that? Make's our festival tickets seem like a bargain!! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/10/2009 04:50PM by Djred. | |
