WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[www.megaupload.com]

You're not the only one who can use Logic silly

We're gonna need the 12-ton cluebat for a few people.

FIRST POINT: Touring. Is. Off. Indefinitely. (at least as Nine Inch Nails, and likely as any other entity as well) This has been stated numerous times.

Indefinitely doesn't mean forever but DO treat it like it does, and save yourself the heartache. I got burned by never being able to make it to a live NIN show and now I never will, but hoping against hope won't make it come true if it's not in Trent's priorities to continue touring. Given the problems he's had with equipment, venues, management bullshit and rowdy pissant "fans" throwing LIGHTERS at him, I'm genuinely surprised he kept going as long as he did. It's evident that that's just how much he loves his work (and his fans) - despite all the shit.

SECOND POINT: Patience. It's often been labeled as a virtue, though I'd liken it more to good manners. If you act impatient, many of your peers (and quite possibly Trent and his accomplices) are likely to see you as a - pardon the colloquialism - total fucking douche.

I understand excitement over new stuff from Trent - I get the same way; but for fuck's sake, "I WANT IT NOW!!!! GIMMEGIMMEGIMME" makes you look like a three-year-old rolling around on the grocery store floor begging your mommy for some goddamn candy. We're ALL excited but keep it in your pants. : )

I'll likely be chastised for making these points (especially the second one) but damn it, it's been bugging me. I'm sure it's been bugging at least a few other people, but far be it from me to speak for other people.

Also, sorry for rambling. I do that a lot.

I think he is the voice of the newest disney character. No singing yet.

Finally. Someone knows what's REALLY going on here.

Sometimes these threads get far too serious! Lets not forget "Strobe light" (is that what it was called?) Lets just wait, anticipate, and laugh!

Serious indeed, I was just awarded Snarky Bitch of the Year for something a few posts back!

I sometimes secretly wish he WAS working on Strobelight, because it would be hilarious. I would buy ten copies.

God please tell me he was recording "clap trap crack slap". I've been dying to hear that.
Or did anyone spy Sheryl Crowe? Pussygrinder could become a reality!! haha

Trent Reznor is only permanent member of Nine Inch Nails.

Nine Inch Nails is/can be TR plus X, Y or Z to make up a touring entity

Right on man, glad you didn’t sugar coat your points and I agree with you especially the second point about how some people want (not a need) instant gratification. People who want (not a need) instant gratification suffer from poor impulse control, a low self-esteem, and weak ego boundaries. Patience is no longer a virtue in our society, but rather a waste of time which is sad because I believe many times patience can lead to happiness, and we are losing that happiness. People want material objects, relationships, or even success as soon as possible and because they aren’t patient enough to wait for their desires, they lose their own happiness in the process. Our ultimate goal—or at least mine—in life is to be happy. To have healthy relationships, to be passionate and to ultimately appreciate simply being alive. These desires take patience and work to get, and although the waiting may not be perfect, the result will be. So all I can say is be patient, because in the end, you will be happy.

Okay, well said. I agree with you, for the most part. The only issue that arises is in your critique of instant gratification. Trent posting these photos, and then not capitalizing on them relatively soon would seem unfair to say the least.

It WOULD seem unfair, but I doubt he'd do something like that. I'm mainly talking about the people that say things like "you're pissing me off, Trent!" or generally being boorish and hostile when it's completely unnecessary (yeah, I know, pot meet kettle, etc.)

Unless that was what he meant by losing the casual fans and having to fight to get them back, but I'm leaning toward the notion he meant to do that through music instead.

Sorry for not clarifying the point further - I never was the most eloquent troll. : P

cockaoke

This is why am who I am. The relentless tinkering with a track proven record. Don't ever stop, Trent.

Whatever, I don't understand all that "waving goodbye stuff" last year.

What sense does it make if Trent is already working on shtg new (which is part NIN, as he said).

When I say goodbye to a friend, saying that it's now time for a pause... It doesn't mean that I'm preparing something new ^^

To be completley honest, I am not hoping for a new album or re-issue or sequel of anything as much as I am hoping for trent to "Re-invent, Re-discover and Re-define" himself through whatever means necessary. I hope he finds the answers he is looking for.

Indeed yes!!!
