Did you know that the heads of the App store like to steal new born babies and rip their rib cages out to use as protective cases for their own hearts?

Seriously.

We have the answers. Clearly a little mix up in approval systems for their app store, which probably receives a few thousand submissions a day, is just about as bad as 9/11 and the London Bombings combined.

YEAH, FUCK APPLE

MICROSOFT HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG!

um, nobody said that exactly. and yes, this is worse than 9/11

so you can't reference a song that's already on itunes... wait... so it's okay if people BUY the song from itunes, but it's banned if it's a part of something that's given away for FREE?

I think you're starting to catch on to where this is all going here

I wouldn't be the least surprised if "the powers that be" in the entertainment industry basically said "we've got to pull the plug on this thing NOW" (the NIN app)

This place fills me with the strong desire to cleverly call out another poster on how stupid they and their heroes are. Ah, but not really. Actually, I just want to whine about how I paid my $105 fee for the developer program two weeks ago, and still haven't even been allowed in to download the new SDK. Since, you know, I can't sing anything on stage in West Palm Beach.

If Apple doesn't get it together, we will most certainly make it available to the jailbreak community.

Fuck sake man, how did some old school rivethead from Cleveland of all places end up being so God damn cool

Oh, and as a matter of principle, every single reply or quote or whatever that I think you may even have a small chance of reading, I'm going to do this on from now on until you actually do:

PLAY A GOD DAMN SHOW IN VANCOUVER B.C.

Seriously man, did we piss you off or something? 2 tours in a row you skipped us. And it's not like we're a small city either. Victoria does not count. That's a 2 hour ferry ride and an overnight stay. Pemberton does not count. That's a 3 hour car trip in ludicrous traffic over a dangerous stretch of 2 lane mountain highway and an overnight camp. Sasquatch does not count. That's a fucking trip across the border, getting ass raped by U.S. Customs, a 3 hour drive to Seattle, dealing with the ungodly HELL that is Seattle's freeway system, a drive through Snoqualmie Pass (as fucking cool as stopping for lunch at the Double R Diner for some damn fine cherry pie and a cup of black, piping hot coffee is), and an overnight camp. Granted the gorge is an awesome venue, but it's a bitch to get to from here.

I mean I love you man, and the trips are fun, and I know geographically Vancouver is hard to fit into a tour, but come ON. For once can you PLEASE just play a show I can just walk down the street to, especially if this is gonna be the last tour for awhile?

;-)

At least you guys didn't give him "The Saskatoon Blues". This fucking city can sell out Keith fucking Urban or Simple Plan but not a GOOD band? Fuck. I'll probably never see NIN again. Glad I caught them at least once!

So Trent vents some frustration at Apple, and all of a sudden 90% of the NIN community has always hated Apple and their products. Just reading over the responses in this thread really demonstrates why (i think) Trent posts so rarely here - people seem incapable of thinking for themselves.

There have already been calls to spam apple customer service, as well as a facebook group devoted to hating apple for this 'outrage'.

I obviously can't speak on behalf of Trent, but i have to say all the sudden knee-jerk reactions to everything he says, which seem to define a large chunk of the community here, cant be doing him nor NIN.com any favours.

Yeah I find that a bit funny too. I've been using the same iMac since 2004, I love Apple products. But I'm not going to change my entire opinion based on something somebody else said. My theory is that since people know Trent may possibly be reading the thread, they just try to look as good as possible for him. However, they go into extremes which just results in hilarity, arguments and sometimes creepiness. People need to realize that Trent most likely doesn't care if they share his exact views or not lol.

The sheer obviousness of some of it is what kills me. Heck, just one post up from yours. Jesus.

Trent says: "My car insurance quote was unreasonable today, so i saved money with Geico".
NIN.com: "Yeah, you tell 'em TRENT! Nice going! I too would love to save money with Geico! Great job!"

Verbal garbage.

I think it was a Cobain diss..I do not think it had anything to do with because T thinks Nirvana is influential and was making a point..I think it was more along the lines of well everyone thinks Nirvana and Kurt were so anti-establishment and yet they sold out for wal mart....Cobain wrote "serve the servants" and "negative creep"...he is cemented in rock lore for eternity..right next to jim morrison and eddie money

Shut the fuck up about the Nirvana diss. You have fucking Axl Rose as your profile pic. Enough said.

Man, you know what the funny thing is about Axl? Every GNR record you listen to, you can tell where the talent is coming from. As he starts losing core members, it just gets worse and worse. Now I've never met the guy, but from what I hear he's a total dick. And after what he did to Vancouver (look up guns n roses riot and you'll see what I mean) this city certainly has little love for him. But GNR, in the early days, the appetite for destruction days, man they fucking rocked. And I know a lot of people are going to shoot me down here, but hear me out. And I'm also going to really date myself here.

You're 6 years old, living in Anchorage Alaska. The most hardcore song you've ever heard in your life so far is "blasphemous rumours" by depeche mode, and your parents change the radio station whenever it comes on because it "sets a bad moral example". You're at a local hockey game. The players come on the ice. You hear fucking "Welcome to the Jungle" for the first time. At 6 years old. Your parents can't do shit because it's not like they can turn off the arena P.A. and they don't want to deal with a whining kid if they take them out right when the puck drops. So here you are, at an incredibly impressionable age, hearing this song. That moment is forever cemented in my memory. That sense of right up in your fucking face, balls out, don't give a shit attitude is what I associate with rock music.

Unfortunately it is also what apparently makes Axl Rose an unbelievable dick. I hear Slash and Matt Sorum are pretty rad guys though.

Oh and since this is a Trent reply: PLAY A SHOW IN VANCOUVER B.C.

Ok I've been random tangenting all over this thread, however:

You know, I'd actually be really interested to know what your real thoughts are on Kurt and Nirvana. It seems pretty obvious (and maybe I'm reading too much into the Starfuckers video) that there was/maybe still is some sort of thing with you and Courtney, but that seems to be the case for pretty much any "alternative" artist from the 90s.

So clear the air here man. Nirvana. Kurt. Love em, hate em, indifferent, why?

I honestly could care less about the diss, I'm more interested to know what you actually think on that particular band, especially as they are generally viewed as THE quintessential 90s band. You certainly seem passionate about bands, and come across as an either love em or hate em guy.

P.S. play a vancouver b.c. show

*edit - yes I am aware this particular thread is probably not the best place for this particular question, but since the whole thing IS technically going on in this thread I figured it would have the best chance of response if I posted here. Mods can feel free to move or delete, no harm no foul.

Trent in all seriousness---if you hate Axl so much (which I agree with) WHY OPEN UP FOR HIM in 1991 in Europe for a few shows???? I mean at least Kurt openly REJECTED the offer to play with GNR...And when Faith No More opened for them, at least Mike Patton would talk shit about Axl ON STAGE...So why open up for someone you do not respect????

... wtf.....

dude...

are you SERIOUSLY getting into a flame war with Trent?!

On NIN.COM?

What is WRONG with you?

That's like going into a man's house and pissing on his carpet.

Bahaha! I was waiting for that.

Fucking hypocrites! I can't stand this "right to censor" shit. Uptight assholes making decisions for the rest of us. If Apple feel the need to censor apps, then they should be smart enough to make a rating system like the did for iTunes. It is smart and makes mostly everyone happy.

Man this is sad to hear.
Apple showing its true "Sucking of Satin's cock" face on this one.
By the way, Don't blow off Android my friend, this will be the future of smart phones. And Apple pulling this kind of stunts will only make it happen faster. Your App on the Android Market WILL sell G1s

Good Day

im curious when someone whining from apple will show up in this thread (or they're already and i missed it?!)

its kinda trendy these days for devs/manufacturers to monitor nin.com messages.

Hope Reznorse doesn't receive a SERVICE TERMINATED message tomorrow.

You ever watch the X-Files? Remember how the syndicate couldn't take out Mulder because doing so would turn him into a martyr?

Same principle here. Apple is actually going to have to play this one VERY carefully.

For starters he's from PA lol But I'm from Ohio...30 minutes from Cleveland when you have nothing to do, you become creative lol

I am a big fan of apple an all, but even I am beside myself on this one. I would just assume not jailbreak my iPod if I can help it.
