This really sucks. I've been going through chemotherapy for the last six months, so I couldn't be out out around crowds. That meant I couldn't go to any shows, i.e. Lights in the Sky i.e. best fucking NIN tour ever. My only respite was that they're be a DVD of the tour I could watch at home, and maybe I could catch the show next year when I' m done with treatment. Nope. Sigh.

For those of you that made it to the shows, was there a ban on people bringing in cameras? Maybe that can be lifted so some film saavy fans can make their own full-length videos of the last couple of shows and post them up on YouTube. If Trent doesn't have the means, maybe he can open it up the public. Like a modern day Grateful Dead-type deal or what the Beastie Boys did with their last tour vid. Trent put a fan track on Year Zero remixed, maybe he could do the same with Lights in the Sky 2008...

Anyways... Trent, thanks for everything. You are one of the only artists that has true integrity, values and respect for your fans, willing to sacrifice commerce if it means doing something FUN AND COOL. Even if everyone else steals your shit, I will always save and spend my dollars supporting you, so you'll never have to be in some fucking cell phone commercial.

Don't you just hate bad timing/relying on others for answers?

I went to the Lexington, Kentucky and Columbus, Ohio shows. I loved both equally and was so amazed and in awe of the amount of preparation it must have taken to put together such a large scale show.

Now about this project that you had lined up with Cameron and Co: just let it slide off your back. You have had a very ambitious year and you've already kicked major ass. Unleashing what I would consider the greatest box set, (ghost uber super duper deluxe version), of music to come out in a very long time and a tour to match. There is nothing half-assed about you my friend. When you set your mind to something, you know what you want, and won't settle for less than the best.

I too would have loved to have seen a film from this tour. To date it has been my favorite NIN show. You have grown so much as a person. The older mature Trent Reznor that's got his shit together is very appealing. Don't give up. You have many other brilliant projects ahead of you and I'm sure they'll blow us away. Besides, the economy sucks now, and an expensive project like that after an expensive tour can't be good on the wallet. Save your funds, stay in touch with your fans, and get yourself ready for the next step, after a much needed rest smiling smiley

Nobody is expecting Trent Reznor to jump out of a giant lemon* or a disco ball* (*pop mart and madonna tour reference) Well, maybe a Jeff Koons egg, but not a lemon or a disco ball smiling smiley

Be true to yourself and everything else will come into place.smiling bouncing smiley

I am hella sad about this but maybe like everyone is saying its just a break for now. I found nin 5 years ago now... wow shit thats longer than i even knew and trent changed my life with his music and words I have never coneected to something so hard in my life. I am right now doing everything in my power to find a way to get to the Sacromento show im even gonna miss work that i just started at to go see this because it means that much to me, I dont care if i have to hitchhike im gonna make it out there to see this last show in my area. I was at the oakland show before. Damn no car

That sucks; sorry dude; hope you are recovering well.

I believe this is, in no way, "the end" of NIN. Trent has made it through everything in the past, so this shouldn't that big of a deal. I feel extremely lucky to have been a part of the crowd that witnessed this amazing tour, and I think Trent, after a little time off, will pull the right people onto his team again and still crank out a badass performance. Maybe not as badass or amazing as this, but badass nonetheless.

Also, I agree 100% about the pop music industry not even recognizing the Lights in the Sky tour. All those pop artists and can go fuck themselves. They probably work half as hard, and care even less than half as much about their fans than Trent does. However, I also believe that this lack of recognition and other bullshit makes us better and stronger.

I'd like thank Trent for this awesome experience he has presented. The concert made me shit bricks and scream until I couldn't talk.

 

12/03/08 10:40 PM

Aside from the no DVD thing which sux. everyone is making too much of a deal. It just seems like TR wants a break or is going to do something completely different. Trent I don't think would be the type to not tell if he was planning on retiring .

 

12/03/08 11:41 PM

You know we all love you and yes, you have it!
I have never seen 3 shows in one tour EVer. until now.
part luck. part serendipity. and will, most certainly.

looking forward to Friday.

...what do they know, anyways?!?

clearly the dumb asses were blinded by the ridiculous mainstream shit that gets put out year after year after year it all starts to sound the same. WAKE UP ASSHOLES AND TRY SEEING A REAL FUCKING ARTIST FOR ONCE!!!! FUCK

probably cause their shows sell out everywhere because that shit gets promoted to no end.its not even good music.what a fuckin waste of $$$$ airtime, promotion and press.


Hey, I just remembered. Celine Dion made the list as well.

Y'know, it's probably a good thing they didn't include you in there...

12/03/08 10:44 PM

I have nothing when tour is over except the memories of the best times ever! fucking priceless ! Im lucky that im going to more shows thanks Trent for being you! c u soon

 

12/03/08 10:46 PM

Man, so I guess this means I'm still gonna have to use my Beside you in Time blu-ray to show off my HDTV set up. Lame I was really hoping to get a new DVD it would have been the best thing everrrrrr. I know I'm probably holding on to nothing but still have hope that something will open up. As for Trent not playing or touring again i think some people are reading a little to much into that post....he never said he was done. Does anyone really think Trent Reznor can stay away from music or musical performance? I'm sure when he gets his creative juices going and is working on new material hes gonna want to perform it at its full potential.

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!
Just say the word grinning smiley

hell yes

yes yes and yes

Um...you may want to re-read a post to make sure you're reading it correctly before responding. Not trying to be an asshole, just don't want my fellow nin.com peeps frantically freaking the fuck out for the wrong reasons.

We then achieved the impossible by finding alternate production / funding but the timetable is too rushed to get it filmed comfortably with the remaining time left on the tour.

First and probably last time I will ever see NIN live...went three times this year...tho I was sick at the last concert...really didn't get to enjoy it...but still worth it.

 

12/03/08 10:51 PM

The fact that there are over 500 replies to this in less than twelve hours proves the dedication of us nin fans. : )

 

12/03/08 10:51 PM

It's amazing what can fuck up your day. But it's even more amazing when someone else's bad day makes 300,000 other people have an AWFUL day.

NOT SAYING ANYTHING BAD. Just stating the obvious.

It's weird. A little over a week ago I saw Trent jumping around on stage, throwing the mic into the crowd, listening to thousands of people cheer him on, molesting the microphone and Robin, and having a good time. Now he's crushed...

 

12/03/08 10:52 PM

ya know this was the best tour ever, and what a way to do it. You bleww the sox off of people that had never seen you perform and upgraded the performance for your die-hard fans. Trent your the best. We all live through our trials & tribulations as do U. I got to see this fantastic performance 5x and it left me wanting more each time. I hope there will be more NIN-the future but you have the right to pick & choose how much or how little ya want to do. By this age we think a little differently about doing things (the minds allways stronger than our bodies are willing) Not saying that U're old or anything but I'm your age & I've slowed just a bit. You've definately done things that others could only dream of and we've all been impressed by your showmanship and diversity. I'm so happy to be one of your NINpho's as many here are. We cheer & applaud your trek in this crazy life hoping that you will endeavor another feat. We all love you Trent. You have converted us into your cult. Thanks!!!!

 

12/03/08 10:54 PM

I think he has certainly earned a long break from NIN, if no the tour. After giving us all of these concerts and blowing all of our minds, I know I'd need some time to settle down.

It's certainly not a post we need to lose our minds over...not that I'm saying anybody is. I don;t think he's trying convey some kind of hidden "touring is over" message. If something that big were happening, he'd straight up tell us.

Meanwhile I laugh because my friend is about to start cutting himself. XDD Haha I hope he does so I can steal all his vinyls.

All of the fan filming, even in its low or grainy quality. All of the fan pictures, all of the professional pictures. Its all here. The memories, they are here. I know we could never singly mirror back the magic we saw live, but as a whole, the spirit of this leg is there inside the pictures and video.

Good point. We've got evidence of the show's greatness. It's not Titanic, but it's real. Also, there are a couple of songs filmed by Rob--it's all here in bits and pieces. Besides, I don't think anyone who saw it is going to forget it for a long, long time. This leg lives, even if record companies are trying to strangle it.

I can smell a 2009 tour of Guns N' Roses with Robin Finck. OUR ROBIN FINCK! grinning smiley

 

12/03/08 10:56 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. NGL, I'm a little disappointed that this won't be available on DVD. But that's not at all your fault Trent! I'm just grateful that I was able to go to one of the shows, as it was truly one of the best, if not the best live show I've been to. My only regret is that I only saw it once! smiling smiley

So thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing to produce such revolutionary, innovative music. you do so much for us fans already! your genuine concern and consideration of your fans is something unparalleled in today's music industry.

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.

Dear Mr. Reznor,

I hope you take the time to read all of the replies on these pages because you certainly matter a great deal to many people. Unlike many of your fans who have been buying your music, attending NIN concerts, and following you for many years, I am a new fan. I have been listening to your music beginning with Pretty Hate Machine and it will take many plays of each song before I have digested all their nuances and meanings.

I was looking forward to seeing you at this year's Voodoo Fest since it was first announced that you would be there, but the economy took my job and my discretionary income. Looking back, I definitely should have said, "Fuck it" and gone. Opportunities missed.

I would be honored to see you perform some day, whether it be with other musicians, or just you solo with your instrument(s) of choice. I hope you are soon able to get some much needed rest. Meanwhile, I will continue getting to know your music, but with a greater sense of melancholy.

....wiping away tears...

Bottom line: It would really suck if I never got to see you in a live performance.

I agree. Also: if we look at Trent and NiN's history then we see that there have been long breaks between albums etc. Since 2005 we've almost been spoiled with all the new nin stuff.

And I suppose that that is one of the reason people are reacting so strongly... If say trent had only released one album since Fragile and announced that he would take break, people wouldnt have reacted this way.

The tour was / is amazing! A dvd/blue-ray would have been wonderful but sometimes shit happens. You seem to be the type that once you have your mind set on something if it doesn't happen you knock yourself down harder than anyone else can. Try not to let it get to you too hard. You are brilliant and extremely giving with all you do for the fans. I'm so glad i picked up tickets to one more show. Well Forum & Vegas were planned from the get go but adding Sac in there too to have one more night watching the amazing performance. I'm glad i was able to. I'll be waiting - however long it takes for the next project / tour.

Take care!
