    Now he all on 'roid rage, he could snap me like a twig, but back then was a different story. Remember that Japanese chick with the missing teeth when we went to the temples in Kyoto? Fuck.

    How many people can you name who would honestly say that they think TR has been a real friend across the years? Some of his high school buddies that come out on tour, or Clint, maybe, but that's cause they never really "worked" together. I saw Clint coming out of the dressing room at the Bowl smiling, so they obviously all good, but I wasn't even allowed to say hi to TR. I got the blockade from security! Hahahahah LoLLerskates *HUGZ* ROFL ain't that some shit?

    All's I wanted to say was, "congrats on the new album, new tour, and new YOU! TR, you look TIGHT and your game is seriously ON, man, and I am psyched for you. You obviously conquered some heavy shit, and you gotta feel good, yeah?" Not like I'm gonna complain about shit from five years ago backstage, right?

    Hey also, didn't I hear TR talking some shit about how he 12-stepped his way back to planet earth? Well, I ain't never 12-stepped myself, but I got a couple close friends who did, and the one thing they all said was part of the process was to go back and apologize or make amends with all who were hurt by your actions while you were under the influence of whatever you're 12-stepping out of.

    Did TR ever drop one motherfucking dime? PodBoy never got that call. I know you didn't get that call.... I didn't need one, since I played his ass right back as he was playing mine, but PodBoy got the short end of the long stick. Well, maybe he only made it through 11 out of the 12 steps....... but I don't know nothing about 12 steps. (oh yeah, I am clean, but it only took one step.)

    (BTW: You're better off not being in a band that plays medleys...)

    Now, before y'all go thinking I feel all "wronged" by TR, I don't. I am absolutely fine with him. I sussed the deal soon enough, and it WAS a cushy situation, so I let it ride for a while, and I hung around while I got my act together to re-enter LA. Soon as I felt like he was short-changin' me, I said, "Shit, I gotta get me a night job!" Had to finish the demos for the Helmet album while still on TR's payroll, ya unnerstand? So I managed to extract value from the transaction, even if it wasn't the value I thought going in. So we cool, I know he threw my shit in the dumpster cause I was writing Helmet and remixing Zombie on his dime, but shit, man, the way I deal is to say, "don't be motherfucking remixing Zombie on my dime bitch!" right to a sucker's face instead of throwing they shit in the dumpster, run back in the studio, and change the locks.

    So TR, I know you gonna see this, and hate on me, and it's cool. I know you gonna whip out the pics of me and Lifto and the carrot, or video of my "initiation" backstage in Long Island, or some other embarrassing shit. Bring it, I don't give a fuck. I got no probs with you dude and you can diss me all you want. I'm happy for ya man, you making it work big time. Plus, you're mr. artistic integrity guy, and I do cheesy horror movies, so who the fuck am I?

    So you got it all over me, yeah. I ain't on your level, and I ain't never gonna BE on your level.

    And all was right and as it should be in the world.....

    And I am OUT. Later."

I'm fairly certain that this is not the original post, but the jist of it. I read further and some posts suggests that Charlie was editing his posts for niceness. Charlie would continue to post responses to some of the fans...

    "Jay-rome will show up sooner or later and verify the reality of my non-fiction diatribe. The Japanese
    chick with missing teeth in Kyoto will clue him in...

    I wish I knew how to post pictures.....

    BTW: flawlesserr - EXACTLY! TR is NIN, period. Learn that one good before you leave for tour...

    "Oh, I didn't know there actually WAS a website called iSuck, but, duh, of course there is....

    I just figured since NIN is god and I suck, that I should put that as my website.

    I don't really have a website! Hah!

    "No, the punch was backstage. Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins rode into our tent on mopeds with
    "Hellecasters" hoodies on, pulled up over their motorcycle helmets, and looking like bubble-head aliens.
    It was a tense moment, as they were playing a goofy backstage gag, and Robin had just took a swing,
    not really a "punch your lights out" punch, though it might have been had it connected.... TR didn't go
    down or anything, he probably didn't even notice! They were tussling and arguing and all, and just
    when it got violent, the wall of the tent blows back and in come half of the Foo's on mopeds.

    Perfect fucking timing Dave. We dodged a bullet that day. It could have gotten real ugly real fast.

    Robin and TR did tussle a couple times on stage on the Japan leg, but given the usual level of onstage
    violence, I don't think anybody noticed. Shit, I didn't notice, and I was ten feet away! Robin told me
    after what had happened and I was like, "oh, really?"

[GeraldFord]

That's great news. I'd hate NIN to go soley digital.

I was listening to TDS the other day, and I have to say, it sounds just as powerful and intense now as it did back in '94. It hasn't aged a day and I can think of few better albums.

Yeah it's one of those very few albums that never seem to get tired of demanding you to listen to  it all the way through.

Actually I cant think of another album I can listen from beginning to the end without it feeling a bit forced.

Tapeworm has been officially dead project since 05 or so, unfortunatelly.


Perfect Circle performed Vacant  live several times over the years,  it's only "real" Tapeworm track that has ever surfaced. Later on, Perfect Circle officially kinda adopted it. They renamed the song  to Passive and included it to their latest(?) album Emotive.
Also, Saul William's latest record has recycled tapeworm stuff here and there. Same goes for Underorld soundtrack I think.

My God, that was unexpected, I wonder if GnR would do the same (it'd work for sure).

Trent is amazing.

I'm so glad that it will be released on CD! Only a month to go for the new NIN! YES!

[*Timothy*]

Hell I am still waiting for them to send me the fucking download link.

Did already download the free track version and sound pretty good.

yep, going to give it a few more hours then going to contact them.Think it might just be them getting hammered .

 I had listened to a lot of NIN till With Teeth was released and I didn't pay much attention to Year Zero. But my, this new album seems to be a real resurrection for NIN and I like what I've heard so far. I've never been into buying music online   but I think I'll make an exception for Ghosts. And I'll get the CD when it will be available.

[Tatiana Kudrin]

Hell I am still waiting for them to send me the fucking download link.

  I thought you had already been enjoying a few listens.

[*Timothy*]

I got the free one first , cause I was going to wait for the cd version . then decided to get the full thing .

[Tatiana Kudrin]

One of my friends told me the site is getting really slow and it seems that Reznor hadn't expected such a response. it may take a while before you get your link. I heard it's better if you don't order directly from nin.com.

[*Timothy*]

Yeah I heard that too.

Maybe I should have ordered the thing somewhere else but that  ULTRA-DELUXE LIMITED EDITION PACKAGE was only thru nin's site.
