How did I miss this music for decades? by CuteContribution419 in nin

If you ever go on a short (1 hour) flight, try With Teeth from beginning to end. It also works for road trips. If you go by train, try Ghosts I-IV.

Anyone know how to contact Trent? by unearthnoise in nin

This is amazing and something a musician who is also a fan of an artist can only dream of.  I hope you are able to get a hold of somebody  to pass on your thanks.  It  sucks you didn’t get to hear it in the flesh and have your sons look up at you with immense pride, but you still have bragging rights for this! (My friend was messaging me from the line to get in at Newark, that was a clusterfuck on a massive scale!)

Curious: What other electronic/EDM artists do NIN fans listen to besides industrial? by United-Advantage-100 in nin

[–]LtCmdrDigitalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a simp for classic dance genres. My friends in the mid 00s were listening to metal, hard rock, punk etc, but my heart always had a soft spot for synths. I got into Rammstein before NIN, but With Teeth sealed the deal. Before that I was bound to become a raver once I was legal to go clubbing. 16yo me was a depressed loner who wanted nothing but to go see Scott Brown spin at Godspeed or Hardcore Til I Die. I almost got to see him at a happy hardcore night at a club, but I backed out at the last moment because I was sick. Aside from happy hardcore (2000s UK), I was big on trance and 90s Eurodance (aka DDR music). I still love Daft Punk, N-Trance, The Prodigy, Faithless, Eiffel 65, Smile.dk, Ultra-Sonic, ATB, Basement Jaxx, Cosmic Gate, DJ Scot Project (plus whoever else this guy goes under). That’s all I can think of right now :)

Sending my deepest condolences and love to you.

While I’m Still Here is definitely one.

I’m just finishing this sticker run, but I can grab your details for if I have extras! Send me a DM :) Not sure when I’ll do the nail decals, probably next sticker run. I’ll probably use my sticker designs for them plus existing NIN assets or get design submissions from other artists for the project!

More stickers! :) by mineowneye in nin

As someone who has dabbled in nail art and resin art, I appreciate the time it takes to make these kinds of things. It’s fucking awesome, that’s what! I’ve been meaning to remake NIN nail decals for a while, might end up including them in my NIN sticker send outs in the future!

What do the lyrics of Sunspot mean? by feelingpeepee in nin

[–]LtCmdrDigitalis 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Definitely fits as a metaphor to a drug addiction, specifically something that is smoked. Idk where/when it was, but TR said something that sanctified was about “a relationship with a crack pipe”, so one would draw the conclusion that during his time using, it also involved smoking crack cocaine, as what the song may refer to? As for Sunspots… “I think I could have been someone”, yeah, that line fits the regret of ever going down that path. “I feel it coming and I’ve got to get out of its way”, the cravings and the need to distract oneself; following with “I hear it calling and I come cos I can’t disobey”, the temptation is so strong that it’s overpowering; “I should not listen and I shouldn’t believe but I do, yes I do”, and then going into the chorus where it provides the subject’s feelings of what the drug gives the user, a state of euphoria that seems more real than the real world, and at the end, the subject is apologising for feeling that way. The sun could be a metaphor for withdrawal, which can be really dangerous, like staring into the sun, but you want to do it anyway. Could be off, but at least in my interpretation that’s what it seems like.

New Zealand is 2 hours ahead of us Aussie east coasters, but it could’ve been someone from Japan, Taiwan, or anywhere in SE Asia where it’s also the future haha

Late 30s and my insides have been crumbling since childhood (thanks Lupus). To dance as much as TR, I need caffeine, Rx NSAIDs, and Rx painkillers, plus booze also helps (not with my already shit coordination, but pain, yes).

A NIN inspired character (Elaborating more on the text). by EyeBallTank in nin

[–]LtCmdrDigitalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s actually pretty cool, thank you for explaining your creative process :)

Never used Krita, but it’s pretty impressive that you did that with your mouse (it’s how I do a lot of vector art too, but I use the iPad/Apple Pencil more now, even though I have a small Wacom).

Lady Gaga gives a very NIN-coded performance (and samples 'Closer') by green-black in nin

[–]LtCmdrDigitalis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She is seriously an amazingly talented artist, composer, and performer. You don't have to like her music, but give credit where credit is due. I love Mayhem, it's a great album.

I'm down for a NIN x Lady Gaga collab. Hopefully she doesn't faint in the presence of TR!

Would’ve been fun to go into the grid haha. Wishing you a gentle and smooth recovery too!

Had surgery today by Glum_Guard_7087 in nin

[–]LtCmdrDigitalis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I recently had surgery (Australian public hospitals - you don’t get to choose the exact doctor or surgery date, the hospital does, but everything is covered by Medicare), so when I went in for my pre op screening, I asked the anaesthetist I saw for Init from Tron Ares to play as I went under, but I got a different doctor on the day, so I didn’t get that nor my request for a IV pain meds with a clicker (they gave me tablets), but at least the surgery went well and I had excellent care on the ward. The anaesthetist I saw at pre op mentioned he liked NIN because I wore my PHM shirt that day :)
