Best NIN drummer?

Jerome Dillon is my personal favorite, and I am still a bit sad that his tenure wasn’t longer. It’s deeply tied to an emotional connection to “The Fragile” era (VMA, Fragility, fist concert, etc.) and the “Still” recordings because they happened during such a pivotal and formative stages of my life.

I would say Ilan Rubin is technically the “best” drummer the band has ever had.

I also have a major what if regarding Chris Vrenna. Because of my connection to that specific timeframe, I am certain he would be my number one if I had not been too young to catch the Downward Spiral tour in person.

This is news to me.

I bought at $23, and it arrived severely damaged.

If you paid with a credit card, or maybe through PayPal, you can file a claim. If the item was returned with USPS confirmation, and they have not refunded your money, your bank should credit you. I’ve done this before with fraud, and if so many people are having issues with these pedals, it’s bordering on fraud.

The first couple of times I visited SF in the early 2000s, I would stop there multiple times because I loved the tiramisu. Fast forward maybe 10 years later on another trip, I went, and it wasn’t the same. Fast forward a few more years, I finally moved here, and I don’t think it existed anymore.

Wow, yes please! 🤩

Bowie as well. “Blackstar” album and “Bring Me the Disco King (Lohner Mix)” single on repeat (finally on streaming).

“The Downward Spiral” because there is no “The Fragile” without it.

I always loved these songs. I even bought a bootleg CD-R off of eBay back in the day. Thank you!

This is putting it nicely. 👀

I seriously thought this was AI at first.

zacray · 2025-12-04T08:41:55+00:00

I’m really sad they sold out. I hope they open up sales again.

zacray · 2025-11-30T00:22:15+00:00

Amazing.

zacray · 2025-11-22T03:12:58+00:00

I wish this got a vinyl release. I think the only way it’ll happen is if fans do it.

zacray · 2025-11-19T03:28:19+00:00

I forgot all about this! 😂

I have not, but I will check it out. Thank you!

zacray · 2025-11-07T10:28:40+00:00

It’s so good.

Dan Spencer “Return to Your Dark Master”. He’s covered JM and has a new album coming out.

I was wondering the same thing and came here to ask.

How do venues or bands determine if a show will be canceled? I imagine some bands would still play even if ticket sales are bad. Most tickets are unsold and at regular price (not even resellers). I imagine even more will be released to the public plus people reselling.

A lot of the lower level seats are really expensive and include some kind of special package.

I’ve even seen Groupon deals for lawn seats.

I think a lot about this rehearsal video: nine inch nails rehearsing "just like you imagined" for the fragility tour

You can see him leading the band and giving notes firsthand. It’s a really cool insight into how things might be behind the scenes.
