French Spotting : It's very surprising but one of our oldest 70 years singer "Christophe" appeared at TV wearing a nin shirt, on two french interviews we learned that he loved Trent Reznor, asking ppl to translate him interviews, and that he'll be at the parisian show !
Here's christophe's hit from 1965 ... not the same !
I think the one thing she is missing is that music festivals on the grand scale of Monterey, Woodstock, etc. weren't happening all the time all over the place in that era.
Now a days there are like 10-20 huge festivals a year at least, all around the world, many acts playing multiple of them. And they are all streamed and covered ad naseum (to our benefit). So festival performances have become less special, and less unique, therefore less memorable. Could I tell you the difference between even a band like NIN that I'm hardcore about, and their 5-6 streamed festival shows last summer off the top of my head right now? Nope. So how is one of them going to become this memorable thing? It won't. Things like the Tupac hologram could qualify, but many people felt that was just a gimmick too. I feel like they've become all about the paycheck and the schedule, instead of an opportunity to do something special.
How many bands or artists do you know that decided to play a few special songs, or get together and jam during one of their festival sets, etc? Almost nothing unique ever happens anymore. It's all big business attitude at these new festivals, and not really so much about the music. Perfect example being those coachella videos from like Jimmy Kimmel where people are asked about made up bands and reply "oh yeah I've heard their hot, their awesome" blah blah blah.
How many times do you see artists on the same festival lineup who have worked together before and who could easily play a song or two together but instead do absolutely nothing together, because they both need to maximize their set and time on stage in order to achieve targeting their demographics, playing the "right" songs etc. It's some sad shit.

My father went to see him a few years ago. I was a bit dumbfounded by his interest and he made me listen to his most recent (and discreet) productions, and I can see why Christophe would love Reznor ; What he does now is way more electronic and experimental than what he did then...
You can now buy Trent's custom boots for $1100!!

Let me know when I can buy his skirt.
Are his leather Bieber pants available for purchase?
It's like they took Corcoran Field Boots, resoled them, and punched a hole in the tongue.
^^^Kerrang! has always loved NIN despite their constant pandering to terrible pop-punk bands for teenagers
Rezurrection ought be added to dictionaries
lol @ "changed the face of music once"
This is more about Atticus/Reznor but I watched the ESPN/BBC production Hillsborough last night. Two of the score's cues were almost plagiarizing "Hand Covers Bruise" and "Under The Midnight Sun". It is a great documentary but that kind of irked me, not so much that it took me out of it though.

Might be talking about this:

Here's the official ESPN site. It's very much a documentary, talking with survivors and families of the victims. Knowing little as I do about Soccer and virtually nothing about it, I was quite drawn in by it.
re: Kerrang! I have an inside source that tells me that 95% of them are massive NINheads.
Picked this one up today. I guess I'm a little late to the party (note the date)...

I went to the cinema on Tuesday night, I knew I was in for a treat as I was going to see The Raid 2 and having been a big fan of the original I knew what to expect. However, what I didn't expect was "Magnetic" from TSN OST being used in the credits, as soon as the film ends it bursts into the song, already a minute or so in to it so it avoids the ambiance and goes straight for the energetic strings etc. I smiled and laughed well and truly out loud.

Trent wants to tell us to stop getting Nando's before every concert or something
Am I missing something, is there some kind of Leto/Cortini rivalry?

I was also wondering about that!
You don't need an excuse to mock 30stm
Aw, but Jared Leto loves Nine Inch Nails
