i'm devastated! :'( i was really looking forward to another live dvd. fuckkkkkkk labels. this is gonna be a dark day.

Dearest Trent and Co.,

Without getting too emotional, I would like to make my perspective as an enthusiastic fan and Nine Inch Nails disciple known to you and your panel of experts.

If the footage from your tour advertisement is any indication of what can be done or has already been done without 3d, please keep filming and consider one copy sold. I don't need a theatrical release and I don't need 3D. The footage looks compelling enough and a document of this tour is in great demand by your fans.

I will gladly pay the same ticket price for smaller shows. I will even pay double for smaller shows with a comparable level of presentation and craftsmanship as your LITS tour.

You may not have big label backing, but I am confident that if you call, you have me and thousands of fans just like me in numerous fields of art, music, technology, ect. that will do more than just support your work through the purchase of CDs, merchandise, and tickets. You have a constituency that will do whatever we can to help you in good faith that we can be of service to you.

You have made an unforgettable mark that I will continue to strive for as a musician who takes the stage in order to present my craft to people willing to watch and listen.

I cannot speak for anyone else but I doubt that I am alone in expressing my everlasting gratitude for the body of work you have laid before us.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
-Adam Marcus Batley a.k.a. The Viirus

Dear Trent,

Your fans are fucking crazy. They have the same level of retention as a diaper made of paper towel. I'm not sure which is more disheartening, the hoped for 3D DVD that isn't possible at this time, or the fact that the 89/100 rabid fans have no idea what in fuck you are trying to say.

May the mother fucking force be with you.

Amen!
haha

Well,shit!! This news will ruin your day. Been a fan since 1989 and will always continue to support NIN. Got to say, over the years, I have been to at least 15 shows in Houston and the surrounding areas. This show ranks at the top of the list. As always, you give us an awesome setlist, raw emotion, crazy energy, and an unforgettable memory. Thank you for all you do. If it means anything, Houston will not let you down in 2009 if we are worthy.

oh dear this saddens me to the very depths of my soul. I cannot fathom the end. please do not make that come for us. we as fans look forward to nothing more than your gift that you give to all of us. we love you, we treasure you, you inspire us, you breathe life into our very souls. I would hate to feel that powerful emotion taken away. you are every fucking thing and just a little more Trent.

^ ...and confusion

I think this thread might be the definition of an overreaction

Yeah people just seem to make it bigger than what it rea.......OMFG! BIGFOOT!!!!

I say that old tricks are the best tricks. They should take the remaining dates film them all with various handi cams and do another And All That Could Have Been.

But, I'm happy to say I got to experience it first hand in Salt Lake City and will be seeing it again in Las Vegas.

Kudos to the entire team who put this brilliant tour together, it was an experience I'll never forget.

Trent remember "big titties"!! & I am also holding you to what you said at the Bluffs concert in Iowa; the next tour will be in Iowa(that is when you tour again).
Best of luck in all that you do!!

My only request is: Never stop making music.

Trent, no matter what you do it will be the right decision, though id hate to see you guys stop playin. I have more respect for you then any other musician on this planet. I was meant to see your knoxville show but family stuff came up so i couldnt, then I heard about your Nashville(halloween) show and jumped on that show. Ive seen tons of concerts, but YOUR SHOW WAS THE BEST IVE EVER SEEN. You have inspired me not only as a musician but as a person. One of the only few who see the real world. You know your in an authoritative position and a position where could get anything you want. Yet your music reflex your feelings on finding your place in the ever changeing world. In my opinion there is no purer form of art. Do what you have to do. It would be great to see you continue playing music, but selfish of us as fans to keep you from moving forward with your life. Because your life exeriences ultamitley are what we enjoy listening too and relating too.

Thanks
Sean

I will probably be hated for this, but:

I didn't read the entire thread. I know, I know. But I'm super duper busy.

I'm really sad that this is happening, cause I don't like to know TR (or anyone, really) is upset and frustrated over this kind of shit.

What I don't get is...what does the record label thing have to do with the 2009 tours? Weren't those going to have a different crew, etc. anyways? I figure the DVD thing is the record label's fault for not getting back to Trent in time. But the rest of the dates, etc...why are those going to change? Why is the format of the show changing?

Thanks for reading and, perhaps, replying.

Oh ok. I just was trying to figure out how the record label fit into it.

I guess TR's mostly bummed about the DVD. But shit, one person can't do EVERYTHING. He gives us so much.

Ok, gracias. And thanks for not getting mad or acting like Dr. House. LOL.

lmao! No problem.

He does give us so much. We're spoiled. I hope Trent doesn't take the DVD/Blu-Ray thing too hard, even though it is a huge disappointment. It's not his fault, and he tried his hardest.

I've said the same thing on the forum and i'll say it here... As a UK fan who was waiting/hoping to see the Lights Tour I am majorly disappointed by this news. We have had the intimate venue tours the past two times NIN came and I (and many others) were desperately hoping to see the full scale show in an arena setting and now this news... Well very sad, very pissed off, uncertain whether there will be a UK tour in 2009!!?? Uncertain whether there will even be a NIN!!! Not much else to say really!
