The very first time I heard of NIN was way, WAY back in my childhood, but it was just passively over the TV. I think the song was "Closer", but I'm not sure.
A few years later when I was roughly 15, I heard "The Hand That Feeds", on the radio. At first, I thought "What a fucking terrible band, this music is really shitty, don't know why this is considered good at all". And I kept that same mentality for a good while. But for some reason, I saw "Only" during an MTV music show, and I actually figured "What the hell, maybe I'll listen to what the guy is saying". So I did, and I was blown away at the music video itself, and the music itself. I kid you not, that song was stuck in my head for an entire year before I eventually got "With Teeth". With Teeth was my first NIN album, and "All The Love In The World" was my first foray into a full record. All The Love In The World is one of the songs in the NIN catalog that still sounds "new" to me when I give it a go. Fast forward 4 years later. I have all 8 albums, 2 EP's, Beside You In Time DVD, NINJA EP, and attended the 2008 LITS concert in Iowa, which was also my first concert ever.  | |

I first heard 'Right Where It Belong' in a video in 2006 or 2007... I didn't get hooked on it immediately though. Some time later, I checked out their Myspace and played 'Every Day Is Exactly The Same' (I could relate to it really well) plus some other songs (In This Twilight, Survivalism, Me, I'm Not) from Year Zero, and I got hooked.

If you wanna get technical with it... Before I was born. My mom listened to NIN so much from Jan-Oct '90 (and on) that I developed a love for the music at a very young age. At 3 years old, I could sing every song from Pretty Hate Machine!

The first time I heard NIN was in 2005. "Only" came on TV, and I thought "Cool video... good song." I didn't think much of it. But then "The Slip" came out last year, and I loved it so much that I couldn't help but listen to all the older albums. I can't believe I didn't get into NIN sooner. Well I guess I was young and preferred more "pop" sounding music back then... but still, I wish I got into them sooner
Oh and do video games count? Since Trent worked on the music and sound effects for Quake, then I must've first heard them around 10 years ago. I knew that NIN logo I saw in CD stores looked familiar... aww damn I gotta play Quake now  Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 05/23/2009 03:47AM by Weses. | |
