HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! (I leave this site for one day, and look what happens!!!!!) Funny, Jane, very funny!!!

LOL thanks Joan...yeah I ocassionally have moments where I'd like to think I'm semi-funny...I do try. It's better than being miserable...I too thought the smoke really fit the songs well...Rob has got one hell of an eye I'm telling you. I don't know how many times I literally go "OH WOW" when I click on here to see his pics.

You're very welcome!!!!

Well, people, 'tis a sad day, 'tis the end of the last leg of the US tour. A few more dates in other parts of the world, then that's it for... how long? Years maybe? Forever? Maybe some more CDs some time down the track? All I can say is, thank you Trent, Robin, Justin, Ilan, Rob, Leo, Brett, all the riggers, roadies, in fact everybody involved, for some wonderful memories from my one and only time seeing NIN live in concert (Hordern Pavilion, Tuesday, 24th February, 2009). Who knows, maybe one day I will get to see NIN live again. Remember, people, the future is an unwritten page...

He offically declared last night would be the last US concert ever. Thank you Thank you Thank you for such a great show. I am still speechless from last night.

Well then.

I am glad I got to two shows this year then. I am thrilled I got to hear many of the songs that mean something to me, and I was lucky enough to tape them, so I will be able to relive those amazing moments.

I'm thrilled I got to meet Trent and tell him thank you in person.
Safe journey across the rest of the tour guys, and all our love and appreciation.

the brief resurrection....

one: this other person has to live in an incarceration of sorts - not being able to live like a free person.

or two: he can't fall in love.
because by doing so he'd hurt the last person he'd want to hurt.

what would be appropriate, is that you live a long life and never get to feel the love he feels now.

Such is the bane of celebrity. There are many celebrities who are very sucessful that don't have these issues. But they must keep their private lives under wraps and guarded (birds in gilded cages). I'm kinda torn cause I'm a mushy old romantic at heart who loves love and loves a good ride off on a unicorn type story (and I'm happy for them too)...but I also hate to see what's happening now, which time has shown again and again comes from airing things publicly.

I know what I've been through simply because people assumed or speculated based on what I or others typed/wrote. I can tell you it's scary and part of the reason I'm happy being just me...I think THIS ^ is SIMPLY terrible (The situation). I just wish I knew WHY people have to be so cruel to one another and WHY they feel they even have the right to; simply because someone chooses to pursue a career in a performing.

The thing is, performing is a career/a job/part of how they make a living/a chosen profession. So, as with any other career, there is a time when they are performing and a time when the show ends and they walk off the stage; at which point the performers are just like the rest of us. For some reason people can't seem to make that distinction. Like they expect them to be performing ALL the time, it's ALL a show, EVERY aspect of their lives.

On top of that you have Twitter and other places where they post things for publicity/marketing, because it's a business where you have to sell products to make a profit, and SOME performers DO care about their fans, but sometimes this posting only serves to give people the false idea that they somehow KNOW these performers. But, REALITY IS, unless they are a physical part of our lives on a daily/regular basis people...WE DO NOT KNOW THEM. Period. They are STRANGERS. The issue is WITH the people making the assumption or who fail to see/make that distinction between the performers perfoming and their walking off stage.

In the end we ALL, myself included, reap what we sow. So though I'm very happy for Trent and Mariqueen I also see the whole thing as very sad.

Stopping at tonight's NIN/JA leg near Pittsburgh... I CAN'T WAIT!

Good times!

We had fun, didn't we... I hope we can find more avenues to frolic among beloved fans. There's no better "family" than fellow NIN fans. Especially hot ones like us

6.14.09: Wish w/ Dillinger Escape Plan



posted by rob at 12:47am

God, I love Dillinger Escape Plan. Thanks, Rob for putting these up! I would have never thought that NIN would embrace DEP, especially on stage, considering their general lack of appeal to the mainstream (heavy as fuck). Its good to see that Trent and the band appreciate their talent enough to play with them live.

Rob, you've done some amazing work the past ten years. The photography, art design, and films have been impeccable so far. I'm looking forward to seeing some of your post-nin work.

Trent, thanks for everything you've done for the terrible state of rock and metal this decade. You have been the silver lining in this cloud of shitty commercial rock (Nickleback ring a bell?). I wish you the best as you embark to the next stage of your life, and hope that you and your new fiance will be eternally happy together. Be happy and never look back; you've had 20 years of brilliance and your iconic status will always live-on. Best wishes!

Great photos! Looks like you guys had fun. Enjoy the rest of the tour!

Trent should consider just ONE more tour before calling it quits. A small club tour with DEP. Think about it.

^^^ This. So many people out there cannot distinguish what is "real" (private life) and what is "not" real (public/performing/acting/whatever). As Jane says, "we" think "we" know a person through his/her performance/acting/whatever, but "we" do not know the first thing about that person. And yes, whilst I am very happy (and a little excited I must admit) that Trent is now very happy and finally getting "a life" away from performing, I too am sad as if I am losing a valued friend, even though I have never met that friend. It's very hard to put into words, but I think anybody reading this will understand what I am trying to say.

Go to the Hot Men thread, there's an old pic of him with one of his earlier bands. All four of them are very very pretty!!!! I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Glad you dug it up. I tried searching a few times without success.
