I'm all choked up with nostalgia after reading this. ;_;

There's so many things I want to say and I don't know where to start. I guess all I can come up with right now is a huge thank you. To Trent, Robin, Justin, Josh and everyone involved on the Lights In The Sky tour for making it happen and for making of it such an unbelievable experience. I'm happy and proud to have been a part of it, to have been there even for one night, singing and screaming and living the hell out of that moment. I will never forget it -- it was my first NIN show ever, and I just hope it's not the last.

I am particularly thankful because you brought the tour down to South America. For most of us it was our first NIN show, and believe me, having this one as your first NIN experience spoils you for every single show you see afterwards, that's for certain. So, Trent, that wasn't the best show of the year. It was the best show EVER, hands down. So you are allowed your Kanye moment indeed.

So yes, thank you a million times over. I hope everyone has a lovely and well-deserved rest after the tour.

I'll be here looking forward to the next chapter when it happens.

Take care, NIN.

I hope that this does not affect your work or your emotions Trent, since in the past you do past by worse things and this is only an obstacle more which we know that it is going away to solve,we know you solved that it.
Against anyone and everything, always with the forehead it arrives, with your excellent work, we are beside you.
Nothing can stop you now

Take care!
Always keep the smile in your face, you see very well when you smile n.n and.....
Keep On

Trent - Maybe I am still in disbelief but let me get this clear, so what you saying is that all this shit you have been working so hard for is now totally fucked? This tour has been a real pleasure considering the condition of todays music world. I just want some further explanation in why everything has gone sour. please post some more info. thanks.

This is the beginning of the end...

is it?

One was to approach a certain record company that owns some of the song rights about producing / funding. The second was to allow said company to fuck around as usual for months before saying um... no.

Fucking Interscope motherfuckers!

...this was FOR SURE the best show of the year and any bullshit end-of-the-year poll you may read in the next few weeks that says otherwise simply has it wrong. Those of you who saw it know I'm right.

Best visuals and light show I have ever seen at any concert, ever! Best concert I have ever been to! Fuck yeah!

I was lucky I saw you guys. I dont need a dvd either, I enjoy the updates, most of the fans got video anyways, and you know what I would'nt care what songs you play at a show or on dvd. All of your work is awesome and we would still purchase even if certain songs were'nt involved, or at least your real fans thank you so very much for everything, you'll always be my favorite

Well, if you HAPPEN to make it to page 15 to read this *lol* Nah, that's just hubris. But I still want to say I'd been wondering what you would do next. What you've been doing has been evolving, anyone can see that, and I couldn't see you following the current path too much further. I can't wait to see what else you create! Enjoy your break from touring!

Unlike kanye, you deserve it.

It truly is, and always will be, the best show that I ever got to see, and be apart of. Thank you Trent. I always believed in you.

I saw two shows from this tour and it was by far the best two shows I have ever seen I certainly hope this isn't the last for Trent it would be a detriment to the music industry. Don't lose hope Trent

Trent i just want to thank you for the inspiration you have givin me, ur music has influenced my life in ways i never thought an artist could, n im sad to say i never got to see NIN live, but if you do come back to blow our fuckin minds be sure to stop in ATL!

Okay, this is my second post about this. My sadness has turned to anger. Maybe it is because I am tired and maybe I will regret this post in the morning, but I feel like I am being punked. I keep thinking about it and it doesn't add up. This is what I am thinking

Ok, lets announce an album - Done
Ok, lets announce a tour - Done
Ok, lets get some kick ass visual effects - Done
Ok, lets get a new website - Done
Ok, lets keep adding features like posting pics and videos of our kick ass tour - Done
Ok, drummer left lets get a new one - Done
Ok, lets stop touring - WTF???

It doesn’t make sense. There has to be more to this. You don’t do all this for nothing. Maybe TR has more things planned than touring, I just wish we knew. If TR has something great up his sleeve, let us know.... Don’t keep us hanging, wondering what’s going to happen.

Sorry, this is how I feel at the moment.

I really shouldn't, I said there would be nothing more, but I am.

There were no mistakes made. You were being respectful by approaching them for they do hold the rights to some of the songs. They were, and are, being fools not you. They are allowing something of this magnitude to slip through their fingers without realizing the amount of kickback $$$ they could have received. If, and when, you attempt this again, do it on your own terms using your own visions and your own mind. Do not allow hubris to consume the project. And yes you are right the concert was ... orgasmic. Thank you for that and all the hard work it took to get it there. And as far as any concerts done in the foreseeable future - rest my man, rest. Take time to enjoy & see the world & all the beauty and sheer awesomeness that she possess with in. But promise me that you won't "see" it with just your eyes but with every fiber of your being. There are no endings just continuous beginnings but it's what we do with them or how we seize them that makes them - makes us - who we are. You have done well, sir. You have done well.

God damn bastard record companies. Always trying to fuck it all up. I'm sorry to hear that Trent, hopefully something can come through. Your a big insperation for me, and your music is one of the only remaining good music out there. I really wished i could have gotten to see you on this tour. But i wish you luck in this bad news. We're all with you man.

The shows we have announced in 2009 and any more that may be announced will be a completely different approach with some different personnel and will likely be the last for the foreseeable future.

That is unexpectedly unfair. You should’ve told us earlier. We deserved it. Now it’s too late. It wasn't fair not to say anything.

Maybe the deal just recently fell through. That's how record labels roll. A bunch of decrepit old white guys who string your ass along until you break.

But didn't Trent already know that? Why did he go messing around with a record label for the DVD when he knows very well that record labels can't be trusted? If he was able to find alternate funding, couldn't he do that before recurring to a record label?
