With how many massive waits there have typically been between NIN albums and tours I can easily handle under a year between Add Violence and the next EP. Both of the last EPs have held up and still feel fresh to me anyways.
Yep. AV still feels new to me, and after this EP, we have no promise of any new NIN material. Could be a couple or several years. Having become a fan in 1994, I am still used to long silences between releases and can't totally fathom the run we've gotten recently (TFD1's new tracks included) — even with the YZ/Ghosts/Slip era, though I enjoy these a lot more. I really look forward to #3 but I'm fine with the wait.
I get the feeling after the 3rd EP it'll be the last we get from NIN for a good while (i expect the Score to take most of the bulk of new music until TR and AR get the inspiration to write more NIN again) so i'm going to savour it. But i could be wrong, i'm just a pessimist.
I feel the same way. Didn't they mention that these releases would lead into something else? I seem to remember mention of an album of sorts, maybe with the songs reworked, etc.
I might just be crazy. I also still find it very odd that they mentioned 3 (or was it 2?) "major works" for 2017 and I don't really feel like that ever materialized. Either they bit off more than they could chew and gave up on something, or there is something bigger coming. I'm still waiting for some reveal that makes all the artwork make sense in the bigger picture.
Don't be surprised if part 3 doesn't come out until Mid-End of May. A Perfect Circle just dropped a new album after 14 years. Lots of NIN fans like Maynard and given that they will probably be salivating over new APC, Trent shouldn't feel obligated to put out new NIN any earlier than promised.
I doubt Trent gives a shit if a new APC album dropped recently or not. Might be a similar fan base but shouldn’t have a bearing on a time table of an EP coming out.
After the whole Vacant/Passive debacle, I don't think TR really cares about APC...and I don't blame him as they are boring live and the new album is boring as well.
TR can't get enough of Tobacco and BMSR, so I expect him to take them everywhere they play at this point...which is a better show, hands down!!
I think TR is burned out on the whole "lets do a co-headlining tour with another one of my peers and a 1990s legacy act" thing after doing the Janes Addiction tour in 09 and Soundgarden in 2014.....
They wont be at The Joint shows ... as they will be in chicago
I really hope that Nine Inch Nails’ next dedicated tour isn’t some co-headlining affair and I don't think it will be. The current lineup’s shows have been pretty much date-to-date, mostly festival appearances, and when they tour a little more specifically I want them to have the time to breathe and have a nice long set that showcases a lot of the EP trilogy while still featuring plenty of selected hits and deep cuts. NIN’s deference to Jane’s Addiction is the main thing that made the NIN/JA tour so awkward, especially seeing as it was billed as the “last US shows” before the Wave Goodbye blitzes in NYC, Chicago, and LA were announced. That four-piece lineup was phenomenal but being allotted to such a generally brief set before this other, frankly way less relevant band just felt wrong.
Chelsea Wolfe would be my ideal opener. It won’t happen but Crawford did the art direction for Hiss Spun so I can pretend that the connective tissue there opened discussions, can’t I?
What's this?
Doesn't sound/look official to me. At this point I'll trust what I hear from official sources.
