Trent...seriously...fuck you.

You serious?! Its not his fucking fault. Didnt you read the OP?!

Nobody says "fuck you" or anything of the like to Trent Reznor no matter how much you hate him... So FUCK YOU from every fan and TR himself to you sir/miss or w/e the fuck you are.

Agreed.

I was looking forward to the next live DVD release, but hey life goes on. I'm really glad I went to 3 shows during this tour and really enjoyed every badass moment. Regardless of whether or not the DVD would've come to fruition, I think Trent would've taken a break after the NZ tour anyways. Next up: Year Zero 2. I'm really looking forward to seeing the completion of his story via the HBO mini-series (if it happens) and a monumental part 2 of a fantastic album. The dude has been on tour for what has been a looong time. He'll be back to make his mark, more than likely greater than any IMAX 3D documented concert would.

Until then, i'll be fine with a year hiatus. All I can say is thanks for all of the mind-blowing material you've given us at an unbelievable pace. We'll be ready when you are Trent.

Ok, now that I have calmed down and can breathe again...Trent, wherever you go from here, you continue to have my love, respect and support. Thank you for everything you've given us the last few years. Hopefully I'll get to see this tour before it winds down. I hear its an awesome show

Trent- know that your fans will support you in whatever you do.
Quote this if you agree.

Mmm Hmm Trent could be in adult diapers and a wheel chair singing "Head Like A Hole" at an old folks home, and tickets would still sell out. Id be there for sure <3

And to you Trent...

the fact that you just qouted batman and described trent as an old man just made my night and while we're qouting others

Trent I'd also like to say...

I'm sorry i just had to do it....

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?

Everything is far more complex then on the surface. Trent has being in the industry for 20+ years I think he has a better idea then you or I have.

I don’t have a claim on knowing how things are. I’m simply devastated. You won’t deny me the right to be devastated will you? Knowing I’m not the only one changes nothing. End of story. Literally. I didn't think it would hurt so much.

It's strange how heartbroken I am about this, but comforting to know we are all in the same boat, heh. NIN was my first concert ever, and the last time I saw you was 7(!) years ago! I missed seeing Trent and Co. when you guys came to Oakland a few months ago, because I was broke and it's a lengthy drive, but, fuck it, I'm completely prepared to make the even longer drive to see you guys play in Sacramento next week.

Thank you for never half-assing your art and always giving everything you've got to your fans. I'm looking forward to next week like you wouldn't believe.

At first I read "will likely be the last for the foreseeable future" and like many, thought that this is the end of NIN touring. However, after reading the news update again, I realized that "for the foreseeable future" doesn't have to mean forever and that certainly lifted the gloom a little bit for me. For now, I want to try to remain optimistic--after all, long periods of time used to go by between new NIN material/tours/etc. Certainly all the touring and new releases concentrated in the last few years have been phenomenal, but with that in mind, I can definitely see why Trent and co would want--not to mention need--a break.

I know it's already been said 500+ times, but Trent, I'd just like to thank you for everything you do and especially for all the work that went into the LiTS tour. It was not only the most incredible show I've ever seen, but also quite possibly one--if not the--most mind-blowing thing I've witnessed in my life! The DVD plans sounded amazing and I can see how discouraging it is to have to witness them fall through. I wish you wouldn't beat yourself up over it, but alas, we're all our own worst critics, aren't we? Like everyone's already said, no matter which directions you choose to take things from here, we the fans support you 100%!

Holy crapshaith, James Cameron? Man that would have been the bomb.

And a different twist on the T-1000.

I lol'd.

I don't know what to say, but though I don't know I think I have a few words. . .
I personally think this was an amazing show and had two lucky friends that for them it was their first concert. It is really sad that this fell through like it did, it was an amazing show and it is unfortunate that it cannot be captured and shared with the world. If there was anyway that this, even if it was rushed, could be obtained then go for it.

To Trent: I wish i could understand how frustrating and depressing this is for you. All this hard work, time and money put into this show and into the possibility of making this happen all for naught. I hope that the Year Zero mini series gets off the ground. Whatever you do you will always have fans like me and many many others who will support you and your career. You have given us amazing experiences over the past 20 years and have influenced so many musicians young and old (Steve Vai even considers you a composer on par with some highly respected classical composers); we should only be so grateful and willing to help out in anyway possible. If there is anything we as fans can do, let us know. . . How much money would it take to make the Dvd/blu-ray happen? Maybe if you just offered up the something like Demos, Missing Tracks, Un-released Materials, Missing Fragile tracks, offer up Downloads for Rock Band or Guitar Hero for a donation. Or just straight up asked for donations to get the DVD off the ground or to help make your projects happen. I for one would pay the price and donate as much as I could am i sure their are many fans that would do the same. I know this may not be read, this may be un-reasonable, perhaps even ignored, but maybe something will come of it; who knows.

NIN is something 20 years in the making, it will take more than 1 or 2 years to tear it down; this band, this person will go down as being on the forefront and always pushing the limits of music and what is possible in the studio, live on stage, and blurring the lines of television, music, movies, and art in general.

We will always be right here beside you, supporting you when you ask, even when you don't ask, always devoted to supporting the musical giant that is Trent Reznor, the one man genius behind Nine Inch Nails.

Trent, if you feel like it's time for you to stop touring.. then you should.. Everyone will miss the shows, but you need to listen to your heart.. I love you more than ever..

This is my first post to the forums. I am not a message-board kind of person but after scanning (quickly) this thread and seeing the whole tone of it, I just have to say - FOR GAWD'S SAKE, STOP IT! Sheesh.

Artists go through this shit ALL THE TIME. I'm a painter. If I had quit painting every time I vowed to never paint again (often!) because I was uninspired/disappointed/upset/unappreciated/etc., I wouldn't have just finished two paintings last week. Not only are we over-sensitive, crabby, unstable, and impulsive...we also make sweeping declarations every time our "creative vision" gets derailed by anything. That could be something major, like an extremely ambitious, demanding project being delayed (in this case)...or it could be something like being overtired from pushing ourselves beyond our limits for an extended period of time and forgetting we're not in our twenties any more. *cough* (I speak from experience. Lots of it.)

Seriously. He's an artist. He's never going to stop doing what he does. It's who he is. Live performance is part of it. Nowhere in that message does he say he's retiring and never touring again. "Foreseeable future" can mean anything from months to years to forever, but forever would be pushing it for someone who is in his artistic prime.

IOW, I wouldn't be so hysterical at a few rash statements taken out of a much larger context (i.e., his entire life, career, world view, and the history of the universe in general).

Thank you, and good night.

I don't even really know what to say about all this, it saddens me. My first NIN show, i was on the floor of the Pepsi Center in Denver Colorado 6/18/2000. A Perfect Circle was the opening band and it was the last show of the Fragility v2.0 tour, which is now Halo 17 - And All That Could Have Been. My second and third shows were a couple of back to back shows at the Denver Fillmore on 5/3/05 and 5/4/05. It is a smaller, intimate venue, both shows sold out instanly, and the album With_Teeth was released the same day as the first show on 5/3/05. My fourth show was again at the Pepsi Center, 10/5/05 with Queens of the Stone Age. My fifth show was at Red Rocks in Morrison Colorado, 5/30/06. Bauhaus was the opening band. Anyone who has been to Red Rocks knows it's one of the best places to see any show. And my sixth show was again at Red Rocks, 9/2/08. I was in the fourth row, i can be seen in some of the pictures. I just wanted to thank Trent and everyone else who has come and gone through NIN for all the great shows that i have seen, and all the great music that i have heard, love you all.

Hey Trent, you guys did great! This tour was absolutely spectacular!!!
Thanks for it all and giving such a damn!
I'm appalled at anyone who has one bit of complaint.

I feel really lucky to have been able to see this amazing show.
Really, it was far beyond what anyone has done. Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you! I hope you get a great time to rest and enjoy some living!

I hope this means Trent disappears to take care of normal things, tinkers in the studio here and there and produces some great music. I would imagine all this time touring does not allow him to sit back and enjoy other comforts like a marriage or maybe kids, family. I would imagine those joys would bring forth more creativity on a more personal note. Maybe not. I actually like this. I honestly think his newer music although it has its own merit and own unique draw is not of the same quality of the things he took a long time to do. Trent disappearing back into the studio and not touring for a long while makes me pretty happy.
