Nine Inch Nails (4)

quote:

Trent Reznor leaves Manhattan court
Nine Inch Nails' leader Trent Reznor has more to be happy about than the recent Number One debut of his band's latest album With Teeth. A jury has awarded him nearly $3 million after finding his former friend and manager John Malm guilty of breach of contract. Reznor's lawsuit claimed that Malm got him to sign a contract giving Malm 20 percent of his gross earnings and letting him collect commissions indefinitely. Malm's attorney countered that his client worked for the band for many years without earning any salary and "kept nothing secret from Reznor." The $2.95 million award could reportedly top $4 million after interest is added.

Is dat misschien ook de reden geweest voor de "commerciele" nummers op With Teeth?

Niet blut? Piemel, als je de website nin.com een beetje hebt gevolgd, weet je dat hij 100,000 dollar had voor de hele lawsuit met Malm. Omdat Malm hem naaide terwijl hij bezopen was (kort gezegd).

Het gaat nu om de centen. Vierde keer een USA tour. Spiral Membership etc. etc.

Rechten van liedjes van PHM zijn niet in handen van TR. Contract bij Interscope stelde weinig voor dus rechten van zijn liedjes en dus geld is een peuleschil.

quote:

Als het NIET om de centen zou zijn gegaan, zou hij niet voor de tweede of derde keer in NY optreden in een jaar tijd.

quote:

De concertkaarten zouden goedkoper zijn

quote:

en de belachelijke prijzen van een WT tour tshirt niet zo hoog.

quote:

Een CD uitbrengen is voor een artiest weinig bron van inkomsten. Een tour is dé manier om inkomen te krijgen. Mede door verkoop van merchandise. Ook natuurlijk om de fans te vreden te houden.

quote:

Als TR écht de fans tevreden wil stellen, was hij vaker dan vijf keer in Europa geweest (1990, 1994, 1999, 2000 en 2005)In plaats van vier keer in een jaar touren in USA. Dan heb ik het nog niet over de vaste samenstelling van de setlist....

quote:

Na de tier tours is de SUGGESTIE om een acoustische setting te houden. Dat was de suggestie na optreden New Orleans t.b.v. de orkaan.
Nu is er een nieuwe tour aan de gang (dus suggestie wordt weer uitgesteld)

quote:

. En een nieuw album ligt op de planken (nee, geen remix album).

quote:

The Spiral Membership:
Opgezet met de gedachte om o.a. meer grip hebben op de verkoop van kaarten. Check ebay, woekerprijzen voor kaarten. Ook is de Ticketservice ook niet gratis voor een band om te verkopen.
Dat levert dus wel degelijk wat op voor TR. Een reden om de echte fans in USA tegemoet te komen.

After touring for quite some time (with more to come) I've decided to completely immerse myself in writing. This seems to keep me sane during the months of repeating the same day over and over. Don't get me wrong - the shows are the focus of the day and I truly enjoy them, but the several hours AROUND the shows can equal lots of wasted, mind-numbing time. However, balance has never been my strong suit and this I believe contributed to my recent illness brought on by overdoing it...
I've brought my collaborator Atticus Ross out for a few weeks and we've split our time between working on new NIN tracks and helping Saul Williams on his upcoming record. Saul is one of the most talented and prolific people I've ever been in the same room with. We are both out to defy anyone's expectations and the limitations of genres and categorization with the tracks we're working on for his record and it's provided a great counterpoint to what I'm working on for nine inch nails. We have surprised ourselves at how productive the time we've spent has been...
On the NIN front, I believe I've stumbled into the missing musical "thing" I've been looking for through experimentation... it's a very exciting and inspiring time for me right now. The time between this tour and the next will be devoted to formalizing a new batch of NIN material that will be completed after the summer tour.
ps. doesn't sound like "with teeth"

Over Clouser gesproken, iemand het gevolg van de bitchfight tussen Dillon en Reznor op ETS gelezen?

quote:

Technically, Jerome did with the "press release". Then TR jumped in. Then everyone freaked out. Then TR jumped back in. Then apparently most of the rest of the former band members stopped by to chat. Then everyone freaked out again. Then we all feel like idiots.

quote:

Another loss Dillon is still dealing with is what he described as his unexpected expulsion from NIN. While Dillon said NIN leader Trent Reznor was very supportive of the Nearly project — at one point asking if he could help produce it or use some of the tracks as part of defunct goth-rock side project Tapeworm — Dillon maintains that Reznor was nowhere to be found after he became ill during NIN's tour last year. (…) Dillon said he called NIN management to tell them he was ready to resume playing and was met with "complete apathy and no sympathy for what I'd been through," he said. "I was not welcomed back with open arms, which I didn't understand, since I had been in the band for six years." Dillon said Reznor didn't call or contact him to see if he was OK and has not done so since.

quote:

A few thoughts / corrections on Jerome Dillon's latest press attempt to create interest in his project:
First, the facts:
I was impressed with his demos that ended up being his record.
I thought the choice of using Claudia was fantastic - I love her voice.
I did not offer to produce his record.
I did not attempt or ask to use any of his tracks for the "Tapeworm" project (which was long dead by the time I heard his music).
His recollection of the events leading to his departure from the band is once again inaccurate.

Now I venture into commentary:
Jerome continuously has to see himself as the victim in all circumstances. He lives in a world where he is always being wronged by someone or something. That could be me, that could be management, that could be his drum tech, that could be the girl who mistakenly washed his permanent press designer jeans, that could be the person that didn't cook his chicken properly before the show, or that could be the record label that wont give him tour support for his new band to play a show. On that topic, what in the hell do you need tour support for? You're a new band with no record sales yet... do what any new band does - practice in the garage, pack your shit in the car, play a goddamned show and quit whining about it.
p.s. You look like an asshole in your picture.

OK enough!
Your 15 minutes are up!

It DID make for some interesting BB reading on an otherwise dull day, though.
But seriously, if you're going to throw some punches you may get hit back. Fuck the "high ground" - this is the internet, remember?

quote:

You didn't see how he fucking shut Chris Vrenna down. Goddamn motherfucking PodBoy had been with TR since the ramen-noodle years, running down to CompUSA every week to buy TR more video games, sitting there reading from the cheats book while TR played Doom for hours, never giving Pod a chance to play,

quote:

Would I do it all over again? Yeah, but I would have been right behind Robin on the way back to LA instead of waiting four more years for shit that wasn't ever gonna happen. That last tour we did was a joke, and you know it. Fucking TR forgetting lyrics onstage, Robin taking a swing at TR in Australia, shit I was ready to walk off stage and take a cab to the airport that one time in Japan when he just lying on stage drunk off his ass mumbling instead of singing.

quote:

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.

quote:

...trent reznor talking shit about one of the guys that used to be in his band... wow....i didn't see that one coming. without sounding like dr. phil, it's interesting to me that someone who has made a career out of writing songs from a victim's perspective, would make such accusations. things that make you go hmmmmmmmm...............?
(...) in order to properly prepare for these shows, i will be working out, cutting my hair short, shaving my back and jumping around in my new leather pants.

"Pretty Hate Machine", I really didn't know what I was doing at all, so it was just 'here's a drum beat' and the last thing that kinda got put in was the melody of the song, because there were some cool songs, whatever. "The Downward Spiral" was an exorcise in a collage of noise, really, and than a song kinda came out in the end. "The Fragile" was a whole other situation with just kind of experimenting and see what happens, and then "With Teeth" is very formal, trying to write at a piano, because that's what I know the best: thinking about melody first and then trying to put sounds in it, arrange it.
