I'd like to use my case for having a plan B.

I had enough notice (24 hours) to try and pull something together. I ended up organizing a meet-up at a pizza place close to the venue followed by a trip to a goth/bondage club. Sure, it wasn't a NIN show but the club played NIN and we conversed and had fun.

If you find yourself in this sort of situation, try to make the most of it. Go check out a museum, a sporting event, or see what other concerts are in town. Maybe do some sight-seeing. Whatever it is, have something else in mind in the event of a postponement like this.

Oh, and demanding that Trent refund you for your travel and lodging expenses is beyond selfish.

Hey circuitry6, would you like some cheese to go with that whine?

I love how here in this thread that every post from someone who is now *devastated* that they can't go anymore (like me), is automatically countered by 3 posts from people who live in LA and are "happy they re-scheduled". Classy! Way to show respect for out-of-towners who were going to fly in for this *rather significant event* and who are now f-ed. Honestly, who cares about the lost money factor. It's the missed experience that has me sooooooo bitter.

Forgive me while I put on my Hitler 'stach, but seriously, the faster Mother Earth can swallow the whole of southern california back into the Pacific ocean the better. You bags of d had/have it coming.

And where are you from? If the tour was to end in NYC or anywhere else, I would still feel the same way. Read Leo's post from a few hours ago...there is no concert that is ever guaranteed. If you don't have a Plan B, that's all on you.

how can you have a plan B for a show that is scheduled on a specific date? idiot

Uhhh...for this EXACT situation. People get sick, unforeseen circumstances...that's what I'm talking about, idiot. If one is going to "come all this way" to see a show, one should plan for everything.

Do we really want to send Trent and NIN off, like THIS??


This is just so sad to me. This is their FAREWELL tour and instead of sending trent and the group off properly, we look like a bunch of whiny bitchy morons, kicking and screaming about a situation that Trent tried his best to mitigate.

This is the guy who records albums and gives them to us for FREE.
The guy who gives us an open camera and recording policy anytime its possible.
The guy who made sure his final shows ever were back in the US.
and who APOLOGIZES to US because he feels bad that his voice wasn't well enough to give us a PERFECT show.

And we return the favor by acting like a bunch of whiny fucking ingrates?? kicking and screaming that the EXTRA shows he went out of his way to add for his american fans got rearranged a LITTLE? He didn't HAVE to add the extra shows. He didn't even HAVE to reschedule the Fonda show. But he did it for us because he gives a shit and we should be thankful for that. In fact, he probably would have caught a lot less flack if he had just let the Fonda show stay canelled altogether, but because he has a conscience, he'e being greeted with our complete and utter ingratitude.

Yes.... we all know things didn't work out perfectly. Yes, things became difficult for some people. BUT SO THE FUCK WHAT? hasn't this guy done enough for us? I mean.... Can we have some fucking dignity here, suck it up a little, and SEND TRENT OFF PROPERLY??? and show him that we're a devoted and APPRECIATIVE fan base.... PLEASE. The last thing we need is to leave NIN with this shitty impression of us in their final moments.



(i just know some fucking whiner is going to reply to this trying to explain why their attitude is justified. its NOT. so dont even bother)

just for the record, i don't see this as sending trent off...it's been stated in numerous blogs and interviews that he will continue to make music and be a part of the entertainment industry in the future. you're right though, he can do what he wants and he's done a lot for his loyal fans throughout the years. it just sucks for those who were so excited about seeing the final shows on specific dates and made plans for those dates and now everything is rearranged. certain people will not be able to see the show now due to their travel arrangements, but i don't think we should be bashing them for being upset about it. we all need to remember, it is what it is and it's all said and done. there really should be no more posts in this forum on either aspect. we've already heard every angle about this and we all need to just agree to disagree about certain things. obviously all of us here love NIN and wish the best to each and every one of them, especially trent. stop the arguing and bickering and just let it be.

I had to highlight this, cause this is probably the douchebag comment of the day. When any band plays a venue in a city, they should not account for people flying in from all over the world. if you noticed, echoplex remains the same. He could have moved echoplex as well, but I would assume he kept it cause that was the original last show, and most people all over the world would try for that first. How much consideration should he have for the entire world?!?

NIN rescheduled, and people who can still go are happy that he didn't cancel the shows all together. Remember, this isn't a strictly negative thread. But to condemn the entire state to the bottom of the pacific? Remember, TR lives there too. Can't make a new album in the ocean. Equipments not waterproof.

Edit - I also want to point out if people are wondering why the twitter account is gone, or why his pm is disabled, look no further than this thread, or the problems with presale thread. And that's just from the people ballsy enough to post their hate in a public forum...

Take a drive to Manhattan Beach (or el segundo for that matter) and go to Valentino's Pizza. It is the best pizza you can find in California, and some of the best pizza I have ever had. Thank me later
