Casually strolling into a very different sunset. Or, sunrise?

my gratitude and thanks on so many more levels, plans, planets etc. The time and effort that went into these concerts will be surely missed, The visuals, the production, the music, the feeling, Seeing this show were some of the best hours of my life, and im sure everyone who saw this tour will agree with me. This tour truly was NIN exposing the real guts and innards of how to present something live.

is anyone else like crying? foreseeable future? ugh.. oh well at least i got to experience the 2 greatest shows of my life, period. once on the summer leg and then fall/winter leg. toledo, oh and ft. wayne, in. amazing, couldnt have asked for more! i would like to meet the man himself, but we met 2 of his band mates so it was still amazing. anywho, sad news but i'll still be an obsessive fan!


love you trent!!

We all appreciate what you tried to do. You can't help it, if the world is full of incompetant assholes.

Ok Trent i have an idea about the DVD. Why don't you start a Chip-In account and we will all donate lots of money for the DVD to be made.
You know we would!
Hell more then half of us would show up and Film it for you!

totally agreed

Well it all has to end some time. Not a bad way to spend 20 years (minus the drugs).

Just think...the first morning after the last show is over with, the things that will be running through your head. I'm excited at the possibilities.

You will be excited too.

After reading through more posts than I can count, it seems bigman has found a clear way to describe the bottom line in all of this. I also find myself walking past this news and completely in wonder and awe for the next step. It can be quite fun being a bystander, especially to talent such as Reznor.

Selfishly, this is a very sad day in a very sad year.

Well, shit. Good thing I finally made it to the Minneapolis date for this one, because if I hadn't (and yeah, the prospect of nearly 24 hours of Greyhoundy goodness to get there nearly put me off) I would have missed what was the literally the best show I have ever seen.

Ever.

No qualifiers.

Best. Ever.


Thank you!

Now, somebody is going to be getting hand drawn pictures for Christmas, 'cuz I need to figure out how to afford the Vegas show.

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, I had seen NIN 3 times already and had 2 opportunities to see this show live but couldn't commit to them.

Don't know if this has been posted, but Trent, you still gotta record this thing buddy. I can't believe that the guy who told us to steal his music is bowing out gracefully to the record companies telling him "no."

Can't like, someone accidentally professionally record this at a venue, and accidentally get access to the soundboard audio? And then can't it accidentally get posted on youtube or something like that?

I mean sure it won't be 3-D with laser beams and a Celine Dion duet of Closer (James Cameron...Titanic... reaching too far?) , but it will still be there for people to remember and see.

I mean Festival High Quality footage gets posted on youtube all the time and no one complains. There must be some way you can at least get this documented.

I dunno, just seems out of character of you to give up like that.

Still, from what I understood it was an amazing concert, and I doubt people are just going to forget about it because theres no video.

Respect for all your hard work man.

While I have to agree that this was indeed THE best I've ever attended, the statement "The shows we have announced in 2009 and any more that may be announced will be a completely different approach with some different personnel" has me in high hopes.

Every single tour has been better than the last. Whether it's minimal in a smaller club setting or a high tech in huge arenas, I have faith that Trent will never let us down, his personal standards wouldn't allow for it.

A simple thanks, a warm regard, until next time...

well after reading the message again and looking through these posts to see what other fans are saying I agree with the ones who say this isn't the end, at least for the music anyway. I doubt that Trent will stop making music completely because it's a HUGE part of him. It would be really sad if he's done touring, but I can understand why he'd make that decision. As long as he keeps making music everything will be alright and if he's done doing that too, everything will still be alright because we have pictures, concert dvds, albums, and most importantly our memories. Buuuut...still fuck the record companies and their bull shit.

Thanks for this amazing experience here in Mexico. I have always loved your incredible work and admire you a lot as a great artist. Your music is in my veins...

Sigh... it does seem like something big has just left the world. But to all the people in despair: nowhere in the post did Trent actually say that NIN was over, that he would stop making music, or even that he would stop touring forever. Even so, after he gave us all something as epic as LITS, I definitely believe he has earned the right to do whatever the fuck he wants, no question. If this is truly the end, then there was no better way to make an exit.

And to Trent: whatever you decide to do, thanks for NIN. You changed our lives.

I think thats a really good way to put it...

Wow, all I'm gonna say is thank you Trent, and everyone involved with the band. You made me think twice a little bit about what defined a great concert experience. I thought the Radiohead show I attended was pure infusion of lights, sound, and atmosphere, but I was dead wrong after witnessing the LITS tour. Not to say that Radiohead put on a great show and being my favorite band next to NIN, but dammit with the production and skill put into the tour it just blew it out of the water. Sans different set-lists each show, but alas I was happy.
This may not mean the end of NIn as we know it, just them going into hibernation after a long battle with bullshit record companies like Interscope. I tip my hat off to you Trent and crew. The people (all of which have not listened to the entire NIN catalog) I brought to each of the shows I saw during this tour were blown away as I was. I thank you with utter gratitude and I hope one day that when I'm out of Journalism school at Mizzou that I will get to sit down with you and interview you about the life and times of NIN and where you stand now.
A DVD may or may not be coming, but I think its just something that needs to be seen with the naked eye in person...kinda like a Pink Floyd show sorta speak.

Here's to you Trent resting and enjoying the months that you missed out on because of how you put your heart and soul into this tour. We all love you with our hearts.
