Nine inches seems too long for a crucifixion. You'd only need about five inches tops wouldn't you?
i went to a few... in my other life.
Inches were shorter back then.
Wait, why are you sure these "nails" are the iron things, couldn't they be the growing things on our fingers?
So what's the latest NIN news generally speaking? I've been out of the loop. What's next on the schedule? New HTDA most likely? Or something else hinted at?
Trent vaguely hinted at a NIN album being worked on, Rob and Mariqueen made vague hints on twitter a few months back about HTDA, TFDE still due 2009. So the usual no one knows anything, but fuck if we can't speculate.
And Atticus has 3 more scored films (Crocodile Gennadiy, Love and Mercy and Triple Nine) coming out this year, if you're into score news.
If TR said the nails in nin were always fingernails in his mind, i would be upset.
Oh, just thought of another interpretation. "Nails" could be used as a verb and "Nine Inch" could be a proper noun.
. . . Just being thorough.
Which then raises the question: who is this guy named Nine Inch and what (or whom) is he nailing?
" . . . The hammer is my penis."
I know HLAH was written towards the end of PHM but when i was younger, i always thought it was a reference to the lyric "nail me up against the wall". I never once thought fingernails.
So, today I learned about Jubilee. Aaron North's band of 2008 and the story got pretty dark really quickly. I mean I know he had some serious mental health issues I read a pretty depressing interview with him in 2013, but I never knew he had a band and Trent even collaborated with Maynard on one song. So apart from those two singles, whatever happened to that EP for members? Did anybody hear it?

And Ringfinger has "You just left me nailed here. Hanging like Jesus on his cross." I'm guessing those lyrics were written after Trent came up with the name, too.
BTW, here's a quote about the name of the band:
I didn't know he mentioned intentional sexual or religious overtones.i was going through a bunch of a variety of sources and had a bunch of things down and mixed 50 names to go through and after realizing they were all shitty, that just kinda popped into my head. two weeks later i still liked it, so we just went with it. as far as any significance, i just like it because it looked good in print, pretty powerful and had a bit of, could be taken as a sexual overtone, or a religious overtone, which to me at the time was a theme the band was about.
It never came out. I believe that post is the last from Aaron. I have talked to Erik Andrews (Coming Home Records and "partner" of W/G/B) and he didn't offer much about it either.
But, here's a pro shot video of Jubilee on tour:
(Yep, I shamelessly plugged a video I uploaded on YouTube)
What is being said in the middle of Kinda I Want To? Sounds like "I've got... nobody!"
