It's great you found some fresh music to inspire you! I remember when i discovered NIN i went nuts and bought all of trent's work...the fragile was going for like £25 in every store because it was during that huge gap between the fragile and with teeth so i guess NIN sales weren't too high...you can pick the Fragile up now for about £8 on amazon!
Don't forget to check out the 'And all that could have been' DVD, It's amazing!  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/21/2009 11:00PM by IOmiles. | |

Feeling late too
27 now and I have always been a big GNR fan for most part of my life, and discovered NIN when Axl talked about how much he digged Trent's music. Back in 2001 I downloaded a few songs from Napster( ) which I liked but never turned my radar on NIN.
When Year Zero came out I thought to check out the album and I fucking loved it!!! Since then I am completely hooked trent's work, got all albums and visiting this forum is my daily thingie now. Sometimes I feel bad that I discovered them only back in 2007, I missed the whole Year Zero anticipation (I read the whole thing in ninwiki) and missed the two concerts they gave in 2007... But trying to make things up now, and just in time before Trent's time-out and gonna see them twice in Werchter and Amsterdam! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/22/2009 12:44AM by JMB-GNR. | |
jg428 posted: Hey dude, that sounds like fate. You have a lot to thank Maroon 5 for! Music is like that, and I guess that's where the mainstream plays its part. Usually if a band perks your interests, you'll find that they inspire you to dig a little further and discover more. There is sooo much good music out there, but I would say at 16 you don't have as much exposure so rely more on the mainstream channels. Luckily there is a catalogue of divine music from the 60's to now, you really don't have to listen to tripe. After all, one day with NIN is better than 10 years with Maroon 5... just a guess | |

Yeah, I have the 300 trailer to blame too! Well, kinda...
It was actually a spoof of the 300 trailer someone made using Halo(the game) clips that I saw on a gaming site. I liked it so much I downloaded the orignal trailer onto my mp3 player and used to watch it on my lunch breaks at work (helped me get through the day...). Someone on the website also asked about the track, and someone else posted that the song was Just Like You Imagined by Nine Inch Nails, and how they were the most underrated bands of all time. I thought I'd check em out, but never got round to it. Couple of months later I was downloading discographies of my fav muscians, and I heard a live performance of Linkin park where they covered Wish, and they said it was a song by Nine Inch Nails. For a while I kept thinking "where the fuck have I heard that name before?" I downloaded the entire NIN discography and started listened to the older stuff, and thought it was shit, but some of the newer stuff I liked (mostly stuff from With Teeth and the Fragile). Over time, I've aquired a taste for the older stuff (I guess I "get it" now), and there's not many NIN tracks I dislike (except for remixes ofcourse) I'm 24 now and this was about Late 2007 I think. I believe Year Zero was out by then, but it wasn't in the initial discography I downloaded, so I knew nothing about it until a couple of months later. And then it was about May last year when I decided to start checking out the NIN website, and downloaded the Slip and Ghosts. I've also been converting friends and family to NIN! Some of my friends knew about NIN long before I did, but thought they had died out, so I kindly sent them links of The Slip  My sister got into NIN by hearing some of the remixes I used to play. | |
0001 posted: I was the EXACT same way. For the longest time I couldn't get into stuff from Broken, TDS, etc. and then I found that the more I got used to Nine Inch Nails' newer stuff and the more I was exposed to, the more open I was to the older 'harder' music, I guess it could be called. Then after I saw my first NIN concert [LITS tour, un-freaking-believable] I went looking through my music library and started listening to whatever I could get my hands on. Oh, and da905 posted: It was a total and complete moment of fate. I can honestly say that some of my all-time favorite bands have been stumbled upon by random chance. That's what I love about music, everything is a gateway to something else. And yes, I would definitely say that one day with NIN is better than any amount of time with Maroon 5! Lucky for us we get to enjoy many, many more years with NIN (hopefully some of it with new material...let's not even go there haha) | |

I'm a NIN fan only for 3 years - all started with "The Hand That Feeds" seen on TV. Then got TDS & Broken and totally loved it
Next was PHM. After 2 month tries, finnaly heard whole The Fragile (completely diffrent from earlier works, IMO genius, but it was too heavy for me at the beginning). Loved Beside You In Time, even though I never liked With Teeth.
As I think now, I couldn't become a NIN fan at better time - last 3 years were awesome. Three albums released, without long gaps between them, Trent was/is giving his best. Now I have occastion to go and see first (maybe last?) concert of NIN in Poland - I hope I will be there, I would regret it if not. | |

Trent on the cover of Spin a few years ago got me into NIN, coinciding with the release of With Teeth. I have since collected all the albums.
As someone else said, at least we made it to the party! | |
