[LeftToDecay]

According to a representative at Universal in Sweden, NINE INCH NAILS' new album, "With Teeth", will be released in Europe on May 2 ? presumably one day ahead of its North American release date (as is common practice for established international recording artists).

Just wandering whether any folks on the NIN mailing list have received invitations to by tickets for the London shows yet?

[Scabbie]

NIN sold out two gigs in 20 minutes (pre sale). So pissed off, signed up for the mailing list and never got an invitation. And now some assholes are selling them for a small fortune on e-bay.

Its so annoying the two mailing lists I'm signed up for on Interscope - GNR and NIN. Both fucking useless.

[Jim]

Why not just buy them when they go on general release on Saturday...?

Why not just buy them when they go on general release on Saturday...?

Gonna try!

I phoned around, none of the ticket agencies had any tickets allocated for public sale yet, and they were talking about maybe getting 100 tickets - if the tickets are not allocated to the agencies they will go to the venue (probably to people who have pre-purchased by getting a receipt printed by the box office) otherwise its gonna be phone wars on Sat morning!

[AdZ]

Got mine. 

[LeftToDecay]

Got mine. 

Hi!Just dropped by to state that I hate and envy you for A)Managing to obtain a ticket to such a grand event and B) living on an isle where NiN are coming to play their hippy music in such close future.
I can only hope someone will eat your liver
Naaah, have fun. And record it. And give it to me in digitalized format.

Mr Reznor posted some more answers to questions send by  people who feel like asking stuff from him.

Lots of interesting new blurbs.
TR Confirmed a release date! 5th of march!(< - - - Bullshit.My bad.It is depressing world can't co-operate even in modest enough level to adapt one single default way of marking dates. Apparety With Teeth  is going to be released 3rd of April, NOT 5th of March. Damnit. /edit)

Aaron North plays guitar, intead of Fortus,Finck Slash or  Hendrix who all were rumoured to fill the spot.

Reznor on North/Finck:
"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 of the door where they belong - Effictibely closing a chapter. A great chapter but one that is in the past"

IMHO it is very unpolite to just start pissing all over the place once you are invited to come over. Specially if you are to audition. Lucky for this North guy, TR feels otherwise, apparently

[Scabbie]

Got mine.?

Lucky fucker, did you get them in the pre-sale or did you queue up at the venue?

At least he says he'll be back sometime this year 

[norway]

[LeftToDecay]

According to several radiostations&German websites the first single from with teeth will be The hand that feeds
To be released in April 11th
Maybe this is the "my manager fucked me over and it makes me angry grrr!"-song of the album.

Some guy at Echoing The sound - board took the trouble to list the song titles that have surfaced in nin.com and in few more or less reliable places this far:

The Line Begins to blur
With Teeth
Bleedthrough
Premonition
Beside you in time
Three
My Dead Friend
Every Day is exactly the same
The Hand that feeds
Only

Kinda reminds me of the latest Gary Numan album, that 20 secs.
Hmm..Is that a solid 1:1 clip from a track or rather 2 (or more) parts/samples glued together with teasing-related manouvers in mind?
I'm guessing the latter.

[RichardNixon]

What's the word on the North American tour?

[LeftToDecay]

From theninhotline.net:

Footage for the video for The Hand that Feeds was shot this past weekend in Pleasant Hill, San Francisco, and Okland (all in California). The video is being directed by Ian Inaba, from the Guerrilla News Network, who previously directed the video for Eminem's Mosh.

One worker on the scene said "[Trent Reznor] never sounded better. I couldn?t help but be totally overcome with energy and excitement when I heard the song for the first time," and another commented, "I'm still wiped out from shooting for this video, but I gotta tell you, it's going to be awesome!"

[Mysteron]

Not heard this yet. Kept well under wraps

It is supposed to be awesome though. Really intense

[AdZ]

Lucky fucker, did you get them in the pre-sale or did you queue up at the venue?

Pre-sale all the way.

Exiting news from Leakville for all those who are too fucking inpatient to wait another few weeks.

Atleast 2 songs have leaked, The Hand That Feeds and Line Begins to Blur
The leak of Hand That Feeds is a copy of a copy of a copy of a radiorip*  with audioquality that is apparently almost as shitty as the lyrics..not touching it myself.

Line Begins to blur is very ok. .Nothing that starts revolutions and opens new ways to create music or anything. And certainly doesn't sound like an important "signature song" of the album either. parts of it sound alot like Smashing Pumpkins though. Steady and very noticeable drumroll and disortion guitars that reminds  of Fragile.

Great lyrics.
It's a "Meh. Ah well" -song instead of say, "Grr, this is wrong and I have to break it"-song.

   Line Begins to Blur 

There are things I said I would never do
There are fears I can not believe have come true
For my soul is too sick and is too late
and myself I have grown to weary to hate

The more I stay in here
The more it's not so clear
The more I stay in here
The more I disappear
As far as I have gone
I knew what side I'm on
But now I'm not so sure
The line begins to blur

There's somebody on top of me
I don't know I don't know
Is anyone stopping me
I don't know I don't know
I won't try and hold my breath
I don't know I don't know
Just how far can I go
I don't know I don't know

As I lay here the fabric starts to tear
It's far beyond repair
And I don't really care
As far as I have gone
I knew what side I'm on
But now I'm not so sure
The line begins to blur



The Hand That Feeds


In your eye
got your chin held high
and you feel just fine
cause you do what you are told
but inside your heart is black
and it is hollow and its cold.

How deep do you believe?
would you bite the hand that feeds?
would you chew it until it bleeds?
Could you get off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see
Do you wanna change it?

What if this hole contains a charade
and my handed hole has a price to pay
for the blood which we died
to find the name holy and divine.

How deep do you believe?
Would you bite the hand that feeds?
Would you chew it until it bleeds?
Can you get off of your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you wanna change it?

So unease I keep holding on
to what I want to believe
I can see
but I keep holding on and on!

Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you stay down on your knees?

Well, ok.Only chorus sucks.Not many choruses in the world without rhyming but imagination is allowed here, jesus.

I can't swallow these corny words
He could be singing of destruction lords
Songs just like this, all too many.( Every fucking line doesn't have to rhyme there)
Most of your fans are already over 20 (and of elementary rhyming, they do not care.

I guess dissing  obvious "Hay, I write something with heavy radio/mtv rotation in mind!"-lyrics  without hearing the song at all isn't very fair.
I bet it's catchy as hell and all. Still, that chorus fucking sucks.

*Some radiostations played a stolen copy a few times and are now in trouble
