Trents Comments on Robin Finck

[Shoco]

You don't like their new album, then you are in the minority. Not that that means you are right or wrong, but don't throw that shit around like it is fact that the album sucks. With Teeth is among the most critically acclaimed albums this year.

Heh.. American Idiot and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (My Chemical Romance ) are also some of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year too.. 

Jk bro. I understand what your trying to say.. but just because alot of people like somethign doesnt mean its good.

if they like it, it means its good for them, and theyr happy with it, end of story

al theyr worried about is that theyr fans enjoy it, they dont care bout ppl like you who dont like it

With Teeth is a really great record and I have seen the new NIN line up live and it was awesome! Ive seen them with Robin as well but I was to stoned to comment on that one

[mikegiuliana]

Trent was always? bitter that Robin left NIN to join guns n roses. But it was really a no brainer for Robin. It was either write songs in guns n roses with axl and co or just play the songs that trent writes in NIN. Also, the last nin album really was not that great.? I love their earlier work but I dont know what he was thinking with this last album.

kind of sounds like axl to me... Yeah I mean why not stay with the active band that tours and has a good time and releases music instead of being with the guy who can't get his shit together ever and the band is clueless about what is next.. I am not a NIN's fan really, like a few songs but as a musician I would think one would like to get out there and be active with his band of choice

trents new record is really good,  he records everything himself,  he does not need robin for the studio.
he just needs guys to act like they are playing live.  it is well known that he uses nearly ALL tape for live purpose.
most of the parts are Trent playing!   the truth!

[Buddha_Master]

That is bullshit. The band is absolutely playing their shit live. You are insane. Apple even ran an article on this (when Trent partnered himself with them for the recording of the live DVD that is all digital and recorded in 5.1 (not remixed to be Surround), and stated how the instruments being played live were being fed through macs so their sound could be manipulated beyond what tools guitarists generally use (like Slash's Voice box for instance). The sound like what Slash uses, is manipluating sound but it is Slash playing it. What NIN does is take this a step further, but it is the band playing.

You know the dude, that GNR used during the 2002 tour. The guy who dressed like the biker from the Village People? NIN does similar things as that dude (shit they probably started it) when during the live performance having samples and effects being layered over the band playing. Anyway, its crazy for you to say what you said, so now you can stand corrected and talk about the things you know best...like maybe Oprah for instance.

buddha boy,   i guess you have never been around their soundboard live, when 24 tracks of digital is being played back with the
band.  ask any engineer who has worked with them live.     Also the Apple piece about Trents Live DVD should not be considered
live, because it was MIXED well after the fact, and no doubtedly most parts rerecorded.  that is standard practice by nearly all
'Live' recordings being released.      but go ahead and keep dreamin that your superheros are doing it blindfolded!
That is the illusion!

It's obvious Reznor was a little bitter about Robins choice not to hook-up and tour with NIN. ?It's also cool that trent found North from Icarus Line. ?(? didn't incarus line open for gnr in tokyo 2k2 ?)

It would have been cool to see Finck tour with NiN beause it would have given both camps (nin/gnr) a chance to see him perform live. ?I not even come across much of robins stuff out side of either camp. ?If anyone out there knows where to pick-up his material please let me know, thanx in advance.

I've never seen NIN live in concert and I look forward to doing just that. ?I'd hope that the band is actually playing the music. ?I recall seeing gnr in 2k2 and the music did sound a if it was being played by the musicians. ?There were songs that did utilize sampled tracks (mostly voice clips & strange sound bites).

As far as chriss pittman (the biker lookin guy - he's the dude that plays the clips & bites i think)

Overall, I've always thought of Reznor as being this one-man-band kind of dude. ?And he's got alot of creativity so I'm not too surprised to hear that hear may use an extra dose of sampling at his gigs. ?

Listen princess, no band has ever recorded a Live show the way NIN did for their Fragile tour. Apple was new to this too, and both them and Trent had to learn a lot together because this was never done in this way before.

And when would you have ever been near their soundboard anyway? Yea you know engineers though and you have engineer friends who work for NIN...

Its funny when a little girl talks like she is a player who knows whats going on. The only illusion I have, is you in the kitchen baking me some cookies. ?

[sweechile]

keep on dreamin buddha boy,  youve been sold a digitally synced fantasy and it eats you up!    yes, it is nice to hang out
with the sound guys,  they always enjoy girls in the booths and they ALWAYS have some great stories.   i wonder who the
sound guys are for GNR?   it would be great to hear their secrets right from the horses mouth!  (i just wish they weren't so
ugly though!)

[Buddha_Master]

I have a digitally synced fantasy of you washing my socks. So you bang sound guys? You are doing a great job, something every parent would be proud of. And how do you know GNR sound guys are ugly anyway? The only fantasy here is you, the common Oprah housefraus acting like are an L.A. 10. Maybe a red flag should have gone off if you are only able to nail a sound guy anyway.

The Icarus Line just played some of the same festivals as GNR in 2001. I think Weezer opened in Tokyo.

Hey-zues! some people on this board are edgy. My posts are made in good fun. Im not trying to offend anyone.  Lighten up . I never insulted you Buddah_Master, dont insult me. Punk...

[Buddha_Master]

Hahahahaha. Wha? Lol

dude, I don't even know who you are? Dude, I what, said something that one day, made you feel bad? I said something in reaction to you saying something, and you can't deal. So the frustration has been building inside you, until you jsut exploded and lost it. So you wrote something about me, because the memory of me is clear because of the demons, and your fear.

Listen brother, I understand that for you this was one of the most important days of your life...

But to me...it was tuesday.

Advice:
First you must learn to let go, of the things you fear to lose.
