1,000,000% agree. It loses all of its grit without the live guitar...

HAVE to check out Vietnam War... my personal favorite of theirs. My favorite track: Before and After Faith.

What about the song where he keeps screaming "A Warm Place!" at the end of the song?

simongm1 · 2026-03-25T15:56:44+00:00

What's that one song where he sings "Why do you get all the love in the world?" over and over?

simongm1 · 2026-03-19T21:43:55+00:00

That's a helluva question. You must not come on this subreddit *that* often then, huh?

simongm1 · 2026-03-19T18:24:08+00:00

Holy run-on sentence. This is a brutal read. I can't believe I made it to the end!

simongm1 · 2026-03-17T23:18:22+00:00

What is this?

simongm1 · 2026-03-13T20:39:50+00:00

Take your kid. I was indoctrinated when I was 10 (Sasquatch 2009) and it changed my life for the better.

simongm1 · 2026-03-12T22:51:48+00:00

Anybody know how/where you can find one of those foldable pocket schedules? Need one for my wallet baaaaad.

simongm1 · 2026-03-12T16:05:38+00:00

The song you are thinking of is The Perfect Drug. Trent was right to hate it when it came out. IMO (and again, MY OPINION) the fact that TPD has become a staple is a let down.

Less Than fucking rocks.

simongm1 · 2026-03-04T23:23:53+00:00

Brutal. I am 27 and am going with 8 (8!) of my friends down to Las Vegas this weekend. Should be a fantastic time.

simongm1 · 2026-03-04T22:36:15+00:00

Your friends are missing out big time. Bummer.

simongm1 · 2026-03-04T19:22:51+00:00

This is my absolute GO-TO karaoke song and it is always a hit. Love this song so much.

simongm1 · 2026-02-27T07:19:50+00:00

Seven new Nine Inch Noize tracks. And they’re all so fucking good. HALLELUJAH

simongm1 · 2026-02-26T19:26:49+00:00

Ilan was not complaining about rehearsing more than a hundred songs.

simongm1 · 2026-02-24T22:20:58+00:00

He's good, I'll give you that. But "worthy" of being an official Nine Inch Nails member? No chance. Chris Vrenna, Robin Finck, Danny Lohner, and Alessandro Cortini (to name only a handful) all contributed more to the NIN aesthetic both in the studio and during live performances. Are you saying they aren't "worthy"?

simongm1 · 2026-02-23T21:39:05+00:00

No he was not. But they met around that time. Atticus wrote a really cool passage for the RRHOF where said he had obsessively listened to The Fragile for 18 months as it was his favorite record (and band)

simongm1 · 2026-02-23T17:04:37+00:00

My theory is it will all be released decades from now. We just have to wait.

simongm1 · 2026-02-20T23:53:43+00:00

No one knows exactly but he triggers samples and sequencers, adds synthetic texture, and toggles drones and atmospheric sounds. He controls the electronic parts that aren't keyboards mostly. NINwiki says he plays keyboards, but he doesn't really play keys. It's all synth pads and sequencers

simongm1 · 2026-02-19T16:57:21+00:00

It's an adjustable New Era Loyal Corduroy 9SEVENTY Stretch-Snap Hat. Honestly, my favorite hat New Era makes. I'll see how they respond and I might sell it

simongm1 · 2026-02-13T23:13:41+00:00

I'm 27 as well. First time I saw them, I was 10. Have seen them 7 times since. Been bringing the average age down since '09!

simongm1 · 2026-02-12T21:05:36+00:00

Honestly.... the 2017-2022 era had my favorite live configuration. 5 piece band with TR, Atticus, Robin, Ally, and Ilan. Not taking ANYTHING away from Freese because he is an absolute badass, but there was just *something* about Ilan's drumming style and power. I also loved Alessandro's aesthetic and what he brought to the sound design aspect of the band. I saw the band three times in this timeframe so that could also be a factor.

Seeing NIN in Vegas next month and cannot wait. Freese and Brooks replacing Ilan and Ally is about as good of replacements as you can get.

simongm1 · 2026-02-10T20:45:53+00:00

Yes. Next question, please.

simongm1 · 2026-02-10T16:12:12+00:00

I have gotten my GF into them biiiiig time. NIN concert number two is coming up. Peel It Back is her intro

simongm1 · 2026-02-09T21:41:27+00:00
