I think I know where they are! They are in Axl's secret recording studio. It's very similar to the bat cave no one knows where it is and you have to pick the correct elevator to get into the studio. Elevators to choose from are Appetite, Illusions, Chinese Democracy and Spaghetti. In the picture the guys from NIN are going to use the Chinese Democracy elevator, but what they dont know is that the elevator will contnue to keep going up and never stop.

everybody in the pic was hired by axl , so that hopefull collectively they can replace the almighty buckethead.  :rofl:

anyways , the sign could be some inside joke within the nin group.


Title: Re: Weird new photo from NIN.com has Chinese Democracy in it!!!
Post by: WhatIsItMan on February 23, 2006, 09:34:07 PM
Upon further examination, I feel this is a photo from NIN proclaiming they're desire to have Robin back.  They are 'outside' of Chinese Democracy, and they want Robin back, and then Slash and Buckethead are coming back to Guns N' Roses.

NIN IS THE NEW GNR!!! ?:o :o

Now you've got it. Slash and Bucket are both in the case on top of which Trent's sitting. They're waiting for Robin and Axl to come out, then snatch Robin and when Axl starts bitching he still needs a touring guitarist, Trent goes: "They're in my ass!"

There's also a possibility Trent is just showing off, by purposely placing a CD sign in the picture. It could either mean Robin specifically, or Axl's NIN-connection, or even (now I'm stretching) a possible joint gig.

Coming soon: Garageband version of Better.

Title: Possible explanation.
Post by: Poof! on February 23, 2006, 10:00:21 PM
It's probably a quite simple explanation for that photo. It's most likely a stage door at a venue.

NIN played Mark Of The Quad Cities, Moline, IL on 12.02.06 (the photo is obviously taken at a venue, look at the IE-monitors around Trent's neck and in Josh's ears).

Guns N' Roses played Mark Of The Quad Cities, Moline, IL on 11.17.02.

The venue probably never took down the sign that GN'R put up to mark the stage door. I wouldn't have taken it down either, considering how damn cool (and politically funny) that sign is.

I never said they did. I said they played Moline, like NIN did on the 12th of February this year. Just because the NIN photo was posted today, doesn't mean it was taken today.

Good call. ? These properties also show that the photo was subsequently edited using Photoshop CS2 Macintosh. ?The text at the bottom was most likely photoshopped into the photo...they probably just typed the date wrong.

"... We looked all over for the right guitarist," Reznor wrote. "In retrospect, I believe we were looking for someone to fill Robin's shoes. When Aaron walked through the door, he pissed on Robin's shoes and kicked them out the door where they belong--effectively closing a chapter. A great chapter, but one that is in the past." Trent Reznor."

If it's photoshopped at Trent's request, I'm not sure what his motive would be. But I don't think it means a NIN/GN'R tour.

Yeah I agree. Has to be just a meaningless wink at Robin's direction, nothing more.

Then again, it is incredibly easy to get all make-believy here.Ever since forever, Reznor has had the habit of delivering news, or rather previews of news, via pictures posted atnin.com.
i.e nin fan community got some of the 1st confirmed with teeth track titles from a blurred out picture of a studio reharsal set list.
First hints of Jeordie White being the new nin bass player were the pictures of White hanging with TR in studio.And so on

But Naaaaah.Reznor likes to fuck with people, and he has gotten not only nin fans but also gnr fans all  ??? ??? ??? with just 1 pic. Job well done : ok:

I heard the last NIN c.d and ooooooooooooh Trenty boy.....Robin pisses and shits in your new guitarrist shoes..its a techno pop album, no need for guitar there a synth would have made the guitar parts easily.

So many factual errors in just 3 lines of text.
When hitting reply button I was gonna give a serious answer  but it would take fucking ages because everything you say is just so...wrong. : ok:

Nutshell:
- Axl and Guns n' Roses had absolutely nothing to do with nin's success.
- Nin's latest album is by far the  most acoustic one they have ever released.

I would gladly give my left nut if GN'R and NIN toured together!

so would I (if I head a nut that is)

NIN are one of the best bands I've ever seen live. I don't get all the hostility, two completely different bands imo and it doesn't kill to like other bands cos the world isn't just gnr  :)

as for the chinese democracy sign, i haven't got a clue!!

Just a wishfull thinking here:

Facts (mmm maybe? :hihi:)

1) Se the non smoking room sign on the door, that demostrates (or also) that this is not an "exit" door. That door leads to a room where you can not smoke.

2) The CD sign says that "Something related"? with CD is happening inside this room.

3) CD is the name for the long delayed and anticipated New GNR record.

4) Axl and Trent has been very good friends in the past.

5) Leaked Songs (or live versions) like Better, Chinesse Democracy, catcher in the rye and? the released OMG have lots of industrial "touches" in them

6) NIN are the fathers of that sound


This all clues leads me to a colaboration between NIN adn GNR. Or at least NIN coming to the studionto hear the record because AXl wants their opinions.? :yes:

look in the upper right hand corner, see anything familar??

this is directly from NIN.com

Notice how whover took the picture is focusing toward the sign?? The guy furthest left is almost cut out.? If it were a group photo, wouldn't Reznor be more of the focus, or in the middle of the pic?? Hmm...

Actually, I think that sign has nothing to do with the taking of the picture. The guy on the left is the same distance from the edge of the picture as is the guy on the right. Part of the sign is even cut off.

This doesn't look orchestrated in any way - I just wonder what the fuck that sign is - it doesn't look temporary, and if GN'R were working in there, wouldn't it say Guns N' Roses?

Weird.

@#$%Funker

Edit: Actually the sign is probablt some joke amongst the guys in NIN and may have been there a while if it's somewhere they work a lot. Quite funny actually.

If that's the door to the studio where CD is being recorded, what a depressing looking place. No wonder the first thing a band does when they make some cash is have their own studio built in their homes. I thought Trent used his own home studio anyhow, what's he doing there (where ever that photo was shot).

It will just be the studio for Chinese Democracy. It's nothing huge and it is not a sumbliminal message. It was probably just that they had a photo shoot in the same building. There is probably many bands recording there and they put the project names on the door.

I think it is just another attack on robin for choosing to stick with Axl and not return to Reznor for his new project.

Reznor was very bitter about it remember.

They all look pretty pissed off in that picture.

Its the old saying - "There's the door....."

No they weren't, they didn't hate each other but they sure weren't "very good friends."

Well, maybe not "very good" just they were friendly with each other

Put forward by none other than Axl Rose himself and frequently championed by the GUNS N' ROSES frontman NINE INCH NAILS actually toured Europe in 1991 as support to Axl's all conquering crew

Back in the early 90s, W. Axl Rose used to rave about Pretty Hate Machine to any interviewer who would listen to him.


Reznor Speaks:

Island (UK) was waiting until we said that we'd come over, they had lined something up for us to do which would cost a lot of money for us to do it and it was like `if you are into us, then lets split the cost and make it affordable to do.' So we said we're not going to do this, and they said fine, we won't promote the record and we said fine `Fuck you'.

So I came back and G'N'R asked us to open for them at a couple of dates in Europe and now the record company is like `Oh..'.

Nine inch Nails supporting Guns `n' Roses, what's going on?


It was shocking to me, so I figured it would shock a lot of people, especially those who think we are a total synth band. Axl started showing up at a lot of gigs and said that he liked us and we sort of became friends and said `If you guys ever want to open for us, let me know `. We said `Maybe in Europe or something'.

Using some state of the art distortion and skewing options in Photoshop I?ve reached the conclusion that the sign is in fact a no smoking sign. Originally it looked like a bed, a no sleeping sign, and that made zero sense  ;D

So I guess this is where the picture was taken and not in a record studio as some people are thinking. The Chinese Democracy sign still stays a mystery though.

not sure if this makes a difference or not?

Post by: AxlRose4eva1 on February 24, 2006, 02:39:33 PM
Sounds like a lot of people here dont know much about NIN.  NIN=Trent Reznor,  Robin never had anything at all to do with NIN's studio albums.  Trent doesnt get along with many people for long.  Same guy who signed and produced albums for Manson and then wrote Star *@&Cers INC. all about how Manson sucks, and then had Manson sing it with him at Madison Square Garden.  Trent has also gone off on his new best friend Maynard about 50 times.  Also the NIN website isnt run by Trent and it is probably the most confusing band website of all time. 

Last I heard Trent hates Axl for stealing his road guitarist and didnt sound like he still respected Axl very much.

Oh and a NIN/GNR tour would last 1.5 shows tops.  First the cost would be astronomical.  NIN has one of the costliest productions in music and GNR isnt very cheap either.  Also combining two of the most confrontational eccentric people in rock history would be disasterous.  Both Trent and Axl are so egotistical I think that they would need to tour with an up and coming band that will just suck up to them. 

And just to reclarify things.  Pretty Hate Machine was released in 1989 and Axl had nothing to do with the success of the album.  I love Axl and he had a ton to do with the success of bands like Blind Melon, but absolutely nothing to do with NIN.  You could argue that Robin did, because their performance at Woodstock was incredible and created a ton of fans that never would have listened to industrial music before.

most definetely.... look... the only one who knows what a picture means is the one who took it or the one who gave instrunctions....sometimes it's coincedence....sometimes it's just a funny reference..... when he realy realy meaned something by it you will hear an announcement about NIN touring with Guns or that NIN came to the democracy studios to look a look at Axl's........ then you can speculate on the picture and tie the dots....for now the picture is just a funny reference....nothing more....nothing less

Most definitely a joke....I was talking to my friend here at work. die hard NIN's fan, and he says the same thing...it's prolly a joke or a coincidence but I tend to lean on the joke side.

Are they all in the current NIN lineup?

Maybe GNR is rehearsing inside of the room now? Maybe they've just made up that better demo there? :P

In Ohio!? ???

Aye the inside of the door is a wormhole connecting to the studio in LA....

come to think about it, it probably would cost too much for them to tour together.... i still think its just a joke between band members.

Well...nothing really weird here, I guess.

I don't think it's a joke..., I think it's a hint or a reach out for communication either with Finck or Axl.

I dunno what's going on... Maybe they are trying to send clues. Or not.

But I don't think they would just put that on the website randomly. Especially with everything that's been happening.

That post makes the most sense out of that I all posts on this topce so far.  Plus is everyone forgetting the article that was out a couple of years ago where Trent called Robin a pole smoker and said he was Axl's bitch.  Okay so I'm totally exaggerating but he did talk about how Axl was paying for Robins house and shit.  He clearly wasn't  happy with Robin or Axl.

well he never ACTUALLY said anything bad about Axl but he has definitely made it clear that he is pissed at robin.

I read recently trent reznor was against fur or poor treatment of animals in china.. He did some sort of graphic commercial about this, i wonder if that sign can be about that instead of the album.

"A," is the first letter of the alphabet, therefor

MARCH FIRST.

gnr + NIN hmm i bet they tour together


That would rock !!!, I would love to see them together.

And please, can all of you stop making this thread a "bash Trent" topic. ?:rant: Why too many people bashing him for a fuckin picture ?

That stupid fuck Reznor as of today I was a NIN fan. Fuck him, Axl took him under his wing in 92 and ALLOWED nin to open for GNR, Axl sperad the word that they were worth a penny, he got a buzz going for this band. I heard the last NIN c.d and ooooooooooooh Trenty boy.....Robin pisses and shits in your new guitarrist shoes..its a techno pop album, no need for guitar there a synth would have made the guitar parts easily.

What a stupid, you quit being a NIN fan for a picture ?
I think you never was a fan.

i think it's probably some type of inside joke - but either way its kind of cool. Trent i'm sure resents robin/axl, but i bet he's heard about the leaks and knows how big CD could be...

also please, who is the guy on the far right?  he's standing away from the rest of the band and almost immediately below the sign. i would assume if there is any real hidden meaning then it revolves around him.

I was at the show in Toledo, it was taken at the Toledo Sports Arena, where they played Tuesday night(one of the best shows I've ever seen and just about sold out) shot taken is outside the arena entrances/concession area, by the way I first saw G'N'R' there in May of 1988

That's Aaron North. Who's one of the two guys that run the Buddyhead music label/gossip website. Which rates albums using the Axl Rose Rating System. Omigawd. It's all coming together.  :o

And I refuse to say "Chinese Democracy starts now".

wow, i didn't realize that.. havent in a few years, but i used to read buddyhead all the time, i remember the axl rose system.
so if he's the guy that replaced Robin then the positioning i mentioned makes sense. no way to know for sure what the picture means to them, but whatever it is i'm sure they had a good laugh.
