		NIN Side Project "Tapeworm" To Be Released In 2000 An SLS viewer wrote us this afternoon to explain, "There were a lot of interviews of Trent Reznor in French magazines this month. Which were: Rock n'Folk, Elegy and Hard Rock." "I just read the 'Hard Rock' one where he talks about Axl Rose and about the Tapeworm project (the album is going to be for spring 2000)," explained Maury. "Also an interview on MCM television (a french television) where he says nothing really interesting (about how he felt when the Fragile came out),this interview happened just before the Paris gig, said Maury. "I think that's why we had to wait 30 minutes after Atari Teenage Riot!" We hope to have some transcripts or quotes at least on our next update. Concert Reviews/Taped NIN Show Broadcast Update We mentioned on November 28th, read our headline "Upcoming NIN/MTV Tour Collaboration For USA?" for more info, that Stefan Sandberg, who will be contributing a review in the next few days for the Copenhagen performance and a more detailed look of what all happened backstage, wrote back to us with some slightly new information about what the band said to him after he was asked to tape the concert. Stefan explained, "they were going to compile all the videos from all the concerts into a tape which would air on MTV in the states (and that it probably would be shown in Europe as well). More info on this when he writes us back again... I thought we should mention that we will have about 12-15 more concert reviews online on our next update INCLUDING the many LIVE pictures from the tour, that I haven't had the chance to upload... Howard Stern Comments On "Into The Void" NIN Single Howard Stern mentioned the new promotional NIN single "Into The Void" quite a bit today on his New York based radio station. A viewer wrote in today after listening to Stern play 70% of "Into The Void", which Stern commented that unlike the previous single We're in this Together, "flopped, this one is doing well." Both Howard Stern and Robin Quivers said that Into the Void is the kind of NIN song they like. Robin Quivers also said that this song was probably just one of those experimental songs from Trent. Howard said then added that Into the Void starts out cool and gets increasingly more intense the longer the song plays. They both loved it... Thanks a lot to: Vince Lupo. We're In This Together Part Two Scans An SLS viewer named cosmic killer B wrote us this morning with some good news for fans who are waiting patiently for the "We're In This Together" single. It seems part two of the three set single is now available (scans on right), which he bought in Finland at the "Oskun Divari" shop. Oddly enough the cover art to the single is the same cover art to the promotional "Into The Void" single, which hit radio stations officially yesterday. 1. we're in this together 2. 10 miles high 3. the new flesh written and performed by trent reznor. produced by trent reznor and alan moulder. managed by john a. malm jr for conservative. engineered and mixed by alan moulder. design+ photography by david carson ©1999 leaving hope music/tvt music (ascap) administered by leaving hope music inc. www.nin.com www.nothingrecords.com WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER chorus drums: jermore dilion 10 MILES HIGH reconstructed by keith hillebrandt Another SLS viewer, who goes by the online name Sand, wrote us with some extra informative tidbits about the highly anticipated single. Europe finally got a single, as WITT was released today. There are three CD singles with tracklistings as posted on SLS some time ago, but CD 1 didn't come with a case for all three parts. All three of the singles are in a slim jewel case (the normal format for German single releases). The helpful man at the record store told me that when ordering a month or more ago he had been informed that the first part WOULD come with a special case, but when he called the record company today while I was there they said they didn't know anything about a special case for all three singles. New Details To The 42nd Annual Grammy Awards Entry List Will, our source who wrote us on November 23rd about the many possible Grammy Award nominations Nine Inch Nails is up for is back with some extra details about the Grammys and when the final votes take place. "The Big Book, which is such a good name for it," Will adds "is actually called the '42nd Annual Grammy Awards Entry List' and is accompanied by the '42nd Annual Grammy Awards Nominating Ballot'. The ballot is due to the independent accounting firm Deloitte and Touche, LLP by December 3rd, and they make a big deal about mailing it promptly to avoid holiday season mail delays." This is an excerpt from the introduction on the first page: Let only your high standards of artistic and/or technical expertise be your guide. The enclosed Entry List contains outstanding recordings created by those who depend on your knowledgeable vote to afford them the recognition they deserve. PLEASE JUDGE BY QUALITY ALONE, uninfluenced by personal friendships, company loyalties, regional preferences or mass sales. Select your Fields with discretion and vote only in the categories in which you are best qualified. "Of course," adds Will, "as anyone can see, the former is not adhered to terribly well, as it is quite frequent that superstars beat out far more talented upstarts who have less media coverage." For example, "if you pitted the Backstreet Boys against Tori Amos in a category, Tori's chances of winning would be quite slim despite her much greater talent," explained Will. "But this rant is for another day." "The nominations will be announced on Tuesday, January 4," said Will. "A Final Ballot to select the winners in each category will be mailed to all voting members on January 12, and the winners will be announced during the CBS telecast from the Staples Center in L.A. on February 23." There are 24 fields ("general", "pop", "rock", "gospel", "polka", etc.) and 96 categories ("Song of the Year", "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal", "Best Jazz Instrumental Solo", etc.) "The book is white with the 42nd Grammy Awards logo in the top-left corner, it's standard letter size, and has 241 pages," said Will. "I have access to the book because my father, a three-time nominee, received it," explained Will. "It's mailed out by NARAS, of course." For those who missed or never read our November 23rd update last week, "Many Possible Grammy Award Nominations For Nine Inch Nails" that Will sent us. Here's the update again to catch you up on the nominations that Nine Inch Nails have a possible chance in winning. Record companies and members of the "National Academy of Recording Arts and Science" submit legible recordings for consideration. For this years Grammy's that would mean records released between October 1st, 1998 and September 30th, 1999. Please keep in mind these are not the final nominations, but more like the nominations for the final nominations. "The Fragile" was one of the 884 entries for "Album of the Year". "The Day the World Went Away" and "We're in This Together" were 2 of the 44 entries for "Best Hard Rock Performance". "Starf***ers, Inc." (as the Recording Academy wrote it) was entered amongst 36 others for the "Best Metal Performance". NIN scored a whopping 6 entries for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance", dominating the other 19. "I'd be surprised if they weren't the final nominees and even the winners of this field," reports Will. "The Fragile" was also entered into the "Best Alternative Music Performance" category amongst 59 others. The last category Nine Inch Nails was nominated for was "Best Hard Rock Performance" back in '97 for their experimental drum and bass track 'The Perfect Drug' off 'The Lost Highway' soundtrack. Unfortunately, The Smashing Pumpkins took this award home with them for "The End is the Beginning is the End," which ex-NIN drummer/programmer Chris Vrenna contributed too. Since 'The Fragile' was and still is critically acclaimed by major record magazines across the country; Nine Inch Nails have a very strong potential on this years Grammy awards, which take place on February 23rd, 2000 at 8pm on ABC. For more information on how the Grammys are voted upon, please read our November 23rd update. Charlie Clouser INTEL Interview - Now Accessible The Charlie Clouser interview, which can be found here, restricted only to Pentium III owners/members is now accessible thanks to all those PIII users who contributed their help. The brief interview, which was conducted over the summer talks about how Charlie Clouser uses Line 6's "Amp Farm," which is apparently, a guitar-recording plug-in for PCI-based Pro Tools TDM systems that approximates the sound of several of rock's classic amplifier sounds. Farm Aid "We don't walk into the studio with the songs rehearsed and lay them down to tape. It's made up as we go along," says Charlie Clouser, keyboardist and programmer for industrial-rock stalwarts Nine Inch Nails. "We need to be able to switch gears really quickly." That's why he uses Line 6's Amp Farm, a guitar-recording plug-in for PCI-based Pro Tools TDM systems that approximates the sound of several of rock's classic amplifier sounds. You get the 1959 Fender Bassman, 1964 Marshall JTM 45 and the 1963 Vox AC 30-all available with the click of the mouse. Featuring a graphic interface that facilitates real-time adjustment, Amp Farm lets you process a direct guitar signal while recording or tweak the amp's tones right up until final mix. No more heavy amps, setup time or wrestling with mic placement. Clouser has already used Amp Farm on Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe and throughout Nine Inch Nails' impending summer release. U.S. suggested retail price is $595. You might be able to get a decent Fender Twin, (used) for that amount." We were informed that the PIII page is excellent and offers many free features to its members. They have downloads for all kinds of kits and upgrades for existing software. Thanks again to all those PIII users such as: David Shreffler, Lance Bradley, Ed Tox, aninimal, Lilbaddgal, Kevin Reddrick, Lee, X102OutpuT, David Knudson, Mitch Voelz, gina, Steven Loubert.

David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" To Be Aired As A Two Hour Long TV Movie It seems that ABC will air David Lynch's new series, but unfortunatly it will air as a 2 hour long "TV movie" instead of a series, which means no Marilyn Manson cameos afterall. David Lynch has actualy requested that no one watches it, because it was mostly cut, and was intended to be a long time series deal. You can find the actual artical here. Thanks a lot to: - omicron -. SPIN, Trent Reznor Cover Issue Posters Heather G, a loyal SLS reader, wrote us yesterday to explain that she is now a proud owner of a 35" x 23" poster of the Trent Reznor SPIN cover issue. Read our November 29th headline, "The Fragile, Spin Magazine's 1999 Album of the Year!" for more information. This is what happened: We just so happened to be having lunch in China Town yesterday when we saw the large advertisements for the Spin '99 magainze were being pasted to a wall. We stopped and asked the laborers for a poster and sure enough, they gave us a couple! I am now the proud owner of a 35" x 23" poster of the magazine cover at the top there's a bright blue banner with white writing that reads: ISSUE ON SALE NOW; and there's another blue banner with white writing at the bottom that reads: (nin logo in black) THE FRAGILE - IN STORES NOW. NIN.COM SPIN.COM Keep a look out for these posters!! Trent Reznor A Moonspell Influence Who isn't these days? In this months edition of Terrorizor Magazine is an interview with the Portuguese gothmetal band Moonspell. The magazine had asked them about their new album, which has a lot more industrial elements than their previous work. Fernando, the singer said that many of the songs had a format of quiet verses and loud fast guitar choruses and he then added, "it was about learning from Trent Reznor and people like him." Thanks a lot to: MoD. Random Nothing News The current issue of rolling stone, featuring a collage of photos on the cover, now on stands, has a few manson/nin tidbits that are worth mentioning... On page 174, there's a photo of Manson and David Letterman together, which is an article about pictures taken by rolling stone staff. There's a small article on how the photographer wanted Bob Dole and Manson together, but setteled with Letterman instead. On page 226-227 RS goes over "the year in recordings" where they submit older reviews of albums... they included a review of the Fragile. On page 250 there's an advertisement for a book called "Physiognomy", a collection of photos by Mark Seliger.

		The Fragile, Spin Magazine's 1999 Album of the Year! Trent graces the cover of the January 2000 issue of SPIN magazine as its editors proclaim The Fragile "Album of the Year". The 5-page article includes new images from British photographer Sean Ellis who has shot for 'The Face' and 'Vogue,' and thankfully didn't make Trent look like a Gap model. The article touches on several issues such as the particular antidepressant drugs Trent (under doctor's orders) tried and their affect on him; "I was abnormally positive in mood all the time. Part of what drives my personality got removed", comments about the song Starfuckers, Inc.; "There was a sense of humor through the whole thing. We were laughing when we were doing it.", diplomatically speaks of the state of music today; "could easily name 20 bands that [he wants to] fight right now because they suck so bad." And interestingly talks to Chuck Palhniuk, the author of the book Fight Club (which was turned into a movie by David Fincher), who talks of how Nine Inch Nails was a major influence on him; "I listened to The Downward Spiral and Pretty Hate Machine constantly while I was writing Fight Club. The lyric "I hurt myself today/To see if I still feel" might as well have been one of the novel's mantras." Other notes that are worth mentioning in this issue is that Rage Against the Machine was proclaimed "Band of the Year" and got the #2 spot on the top 20 albums of 99 behind The Fragile. Beck and Fiona Apple also made the list, but bands such as Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit did not... In the top 20 singles of the year, "We're In This Together" placed at #9. More scans coming soon... Thanks a lot to: NINXPX for this awesome report! New Charlie Clouser Interview at the Official INTEL Homepage The official INTEL website has a page with restricted access reserved to Pentium III owners, which features a brand-new interview with Charlie Clouser concerning the use of PCs in music at a section of this site. The corresponding press release informs us of this: In addition, Intel has brought together a group of artists, producers, and Internet technologists that can share information about how PCs can be the ultimate device for creating and experiencing music. For example, Charlie Clouser, keyboardist and programmer for industrial rock group, Nine Inch Nails explains how he uses a guitar-recording plug-in that approximates the sound of several of rock's classic amplifier sounds while in the recording studio, all with the click of the mouse. Unfortunately, we aren't a Pentium III user, so we can't access the site... We ask if anyone reading this, using a Pentium III or is already a member at the official INTEL website, please write me back. Thanks a lot to: Morpheus TechnoPagan.

		Japanese 'Fragility Tour' Announcements Commy, our ever friendly source in Japan, who maintains the ThePerfectDrug website, is back once again with some new tidbits about ticket sales for the Japanese leg of the Fragility Tour. The Tokyo and Yokohama tickets go on sale this weekend for general admission. A while ago, "Inter FM," which is one of the sponsors of the J-tour, finished their priority sale on November 19th and the most famous Japanese entertainment ticket brokerage company called "Pia" also finished their priority sale on November 20th. The Osaka tickets go on sale on December 11th. Someone on Commy's discussion board explained that a broadcasting company, which is one of the sponsors of J-tour too, began a TV broadcast for the Japanese 'Fragility Tour' November 27th in result of the rumored sold out Tokyo and Yokohama shows. Upcoming NIN/MTV Tour Collaboration For USA? An SLS reader wrote us yesterday evening to explain that he was given the opportunity of a lifetime by the NIN camp themselves to tape Nine Inch Nails at the Copenhagen venue on Tuesday, November 23rd for an upcoming USA/MTV tour promotional program. Another interesting story similar to this subject, which was sent to us by Philtre, who reviewed the November 20th concert at the "Libro Music Hall" venue in Vienna, was that he too caught up with a roadie that was shooting the concert for something NIN related. This is what he had to say: After the show, I stayed around for the usual vulturing, though I didn't catch any drumsticks or keyboard remains. I did get to meet a young fellow with an "all access" pass. I asked him what his connection to NIN was, and he said he travels with the band and records stuff with a camera. I asked him if they're going to compile it in any way and he said "Definitely, but right now we're doing something for television". Then he went on to tape a weird looking goth who had a "TPD era" NIN logo (the one with the red star) tattooed on his arm. He said he's going to follow NIN across Europe and see their every concert. He asked the cameraman if Trent could call him up and say hi or something. After I dried up, I went outside to see if the band is going to come out of the back exit. No such luck, only the equipment trucks. There I met another fellow who was working there and he was sad he couldn't watch the concert because the boss told him to mind the trucks outside. Although they had already left, he gave me a few interesting facts, like: NIN have their own crew, this includes all the sound, stage and lighting technicians; all of the equipment is their own (hence the great sound quality) and they carry it around with trucks; there's so much equipment, it takes 4 hours to load the trucks. Fourteen Live NIN Paris Tour Photos An SLS reader who goes by the name of NINJaw, wrote us last night informing us that his NIN website features 14 exclusive snap shots that he took at the Paris, Zenith gig. The photos include 4 pics of Robin, 7 pics of Trent, 1 photo of Charlie and Danny together, and some odd miscellaneous photos. He also features a brief review below the photos including 2 scans of his ticket. Unfortunately, we are still working on getting our tour photos online.... any update now...

Small Godhead Signing Update Our Nothing Records source informed us that Godhead was flown to Hollywood a few days ago from November 23rd for a private showcase with Atlantic records. We were first informed on November 19th, (read our "Godhead A New Band To Be Signed To Nothing Records?" headline for more info) that a Washington D.C. band called Godhead had or still has a possible chance to be signed to Nothing Records, after Trent Reznor went to see the band perform at a New Orleans show a few months ago; after sending several reps to scope the band out. Thanks a lot to: CV @ Nothing Records TheFragile.com Hits Server problems The success of the unofficial NIN website, TheFragile.com, has been forced to move to a dedicated server. The monthly fees for that service is much more higher than before, and since it IS a fan page, the owner does not make any money for it, and is currently seeking sponsors to help take the load off. Advertising plans are available at the following address: www.thefragile.com/info.html or for information via email the webmaster for more info: info@thefragile.com. Charlie Clouser - The Remix Files A new fan based website controlled by Hervé ALFIERI called "Charlie Clouser - The Remix Files" recently finished his new page dedicated too, as you might have already guessed it, NIN Keyboardist/Drummer/Remixer/Programmer/Producer Charlie Clouser. This amazing website, which features equipment stats, interviews, collaboration info, news, photos and more is officially open. SLS Graphic Artist Contributes To Ministry Website The graphic artist, Jared Boyer and a long time friend to SeemsLikeSalvation, would like those who enjoy his art, just as much as I do, to take a quick look at his latest creations he has recently completed at the unofficial Ministry website here.

Answer To Why WITT Has yet be Performed Live & The The Record Nils Schlüter (aka Shatter), who is one of our NIN German news sources for SLS News and who also runs his own unofficial NIN website here, was informed by Charlie Clouser the reason why NIN have yet to perform "We're In This Together." The answer Clouser gave Schlüter's friend was, they simply haven´t played that song together that much, but it's possible that it will appear somewhere during this tour. Nils also informed us that the new "The The" Record has a Release Date in December for Germany, which is suppose to be released in America on Nothing Records early 2000.

		NIN Tribute Album Solicitation Sheets We received the Vitamin Record's solicitation sheet a few days ago from the guys over at BrokeBox.com via email about the release of the NIN tribute CD. They transcribed the text below directly from the promo sheet. The scan is on the right: Radiant Decay: A Tribute to Nine Inch Nails New Electronic Deviations from Vitamin Records Overview: RADIANT DECAY: A TRIBUTE TO NINE INCH NAILS explores the dark and complex musical maze of NIN through electronic tracks that range from dark ambient soundscapes to dirty big-beat industrial. Grimy guitars and saturated synths create a sonic wall of earbending sounds, giving new perspective to classic Trent Reznor songs. Created by today's most experiemental artists and producers, this album is powerful, angry and most importantly...industrial strength. Tracks: Closer by Transient Piggy by Alex Xenophon of Bassland Wish by Broke Box Sanctified by Transient Mr. Self Destruct by T.H.C. Sin by Tin Electric Last by Transparent Suck by Etherphoria Down In It by Sacha Something I Can Never Have by George Sarah and Lara Peterson Hurt by Tin Electric Release Date: January 25th 2000 All 15 songs on Broke Box's first CD "Netsplit Detected" from 1996/1997 is now available at mp3.com. The direct link is here for those who would like to check out more of their work. Manson Talks About 'Holy Wood' MTV News recently sat down with Marilyn Manson an talked about a few things about his upcoming movie Holy Wood here. Marilyn Manson went low profile for a few months following his tumultuous spring tour, and now he's returned with both a new live album, "The Last Tour On Earth," and an appearance at the recent MTV Europe Music Awards. While in Dublin, Ireland for the EMAs, MTV News' John Norris caught up with Manson, who talked about the movie screenplay he's working on, titled "Holy Wood," and how the film's subject matter will complement Manson's next studio album. "I'm at that point in my career where I wanted to make this film," Manson said, "and I'm [also] making this new record, where I really examine suffering and where celebrities come from. How it all kind of traces back in religion, and celebrities and Hollywood all kind of relate to each other. And that's very American." Manson says that he's hoping that "Holy Wood" will go into production sometime in the next year; we'll keep you posted. The pictures on the right are of Marilyn Manson peforming 'Rock Is Dead' at the MTV Europe Music Awards. The iamges come strait from the current issue of Kerrang! magazine now on stands. Thanks a lot to: matt, flannelman, and Mr Pogo for the pictures. Manson Video On MuchMusic Marilyn Manson's video for "Astonishing Panorama Of The End Times" will debut on MuchMusic in Canada today at approximately 8:45 PM Eastern time. Hopefully they will add it into regular rotation next week if the response from the viewers is strong enough. ARIA Charts Statistics For "Last Tour On Earth" & "The Fragile" Marilyn Mansonís "Last Tour On Earth" has debuted at number 5 on the alternative charts, but is only at number 50 out of all albums and The Fragile is now at number 16 on the alternative charts. Check out the charts here. Thanks a lot to: Lord Soth. XL Magazine To Interview Reznor In December Issue A Polish Magazine called "XL" is scheduled to have a exclusive interview with Trent Reznor in it's December issue. This will be the first Trent Reznor Interview for a polish magazine/newspaper. If it will have some ground breaking news, then we will try to transcribe and translate it. Thanks a lot to: M. Alexander. Comments From Artists About Manson's MTV EVMA Performance ZZZombiE, an SLS viewer, watched a show called 'Bytesize' recently which air videos, but in between the videos they have interviews with the upcoming artists. There was a segment on Marilyn Manson taken from 1999 MTV EVMA. Peter Svensson, The Cardigans: "Marilyn Manson, probably, has a few tricks to pull out of his pocket. Hopefully." Marilyn Manson: (Dressed in what looks like a black sweater, wearing huge sunglasses and hair dyed black.) "Yeah, I think it's a good contrast, you know, if you have a show where Puff Daddy's playing and where Marilyn Manson's playing, I think it's a good ... very good narcotic. If Puffy will play his song "My Best Friend", I think it's like a great contrast." Puff Daddy: "I will be doing a song called "My Best Friend". It's the latest single off my new album "Forever". And it's a song... it's an interesting song... it's a song about my relationship with God." Marilyn Manson: "So anybody that thinks that what I've done in the past was immoral or unacceptable, or irrevocably lowsome, they've only got worst to expect." Coming Soon I have many, many nin concert reviews and new pictures from the tour that I am going to be uploading later today. They have been coming in fast and I haven't had as much time as I planed to upload them. Expect to be able to read the later this evening, once the turkey has settled after celebrating Thanksgiving. Keep the reviews coming, for those who are interested in writing.

		Three Part NIN Single Delayed Because Of Manufacturer Error Contrary to what the Nine Inch Nails advertisement says in the new Kerrang! magazine on the right, "the official release date for the long awaited Nine Inch Nails 3 part CD "We're In This Together" has been delayed once again due to a manufacturer's mistake", says Weathermen Records. The CD was slated for a November 21st release date overseas with a December 1st ship date from Weathermen Records. Only one part of the CD was properly produced, the other two are now going to be delayed. "We are told 5-7 days on the delay," said The Weathermen. "That would mean that all three parts should ship the first week in December to our customers." "This is something beyond our control," explained Weathermen Records. "We saw the same thing happen 2 weeks ago with some Tori Amos singles. The CD's were printed with one track listing and the CD's had a completely different track listing on the packaging and they were recalled." Weathermen adds, "everything is ready to go out, we are just waiting on the product. The minute the CD's arrive they will ship out to the customer." They told SeemsLikeSalvation News that "the boxes are made, everything is ready to roll, we are just waiting till the 1st week of December to ship in full." Thanks a lot to: Mr Pogo for the nin ad. Ginger Fish & Alyson Hannigan Photo Contrary to what the December '99 issue of 'Interview' magazine says on page 136 in the picture on the right. That is Ginger Fish, drummer for Marilyn Manson, not Amir Derakh of Orgy posing with his long time girlfriend Alyson Hannigan (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) at the Hedwig party. Photo taken by Patrick McMullan. Grammy Judge Qualifications Here's some extra tasteful tidbits about Granmy nomination that was discovered over at the membership form. Strangely enough, based on this criteria, no rock journalists are qualified to vote, unless they have contributed liner notes to over six album booklets. Very interesting. This also means that people like David Bowie and Eddie Vedder meet the qualifications to become members, and thus vote on who gets a Grammy. Unfortunately, so do Fred Durst and Britney Spears. VOTING MEMBERSHIP: Voting members are creative or technical professionals with credits on six commercially released tracks (or their equivalent). These may include vocalists, producers, songwriters, composers, engineers, instrumentalists, arrangers, conductors, art directors, album notes writers, narrators, and music video artists and technicians. Read yesterday's update, "Many Possible Grammy Award Nominations For Nine Inch Nails." NIN have psossible nomnations for "Album of the Year," "Best Hard Rock Performance," "Best Metal Performance," "Best Rock Instrumental Performance", "Best Alternative Music Performance." Thanks a lot to: NINXPX. Manson's 'Holywood' In 2000 The official New Line Cinema website has recently updated their coming soon movie page with Marilyn Manson's "Holywood" for the 2000 schedule. Thanks to: Babiboy. NIN Video In December Apparently MTV have a new ad campaign running on their station entitled, "One a Day. Everyday" in which they debut a new video everyday through December from a different artist. Throughout the duration of the commercial, they were flashing names of varying artists whose videos were going to debut. The second name flashed, was none other than Nine Inch Nails. Respectively the new video will be for "Into The Void," since it is the latest single off The Fragile. Thanks a lot to: chris, cory, SoNiN435, NINnNINTY9, buzzbin.

		Many Possible Grammy Award Nominations For Nine Inch Nails Record companies and members of the "National Academy of Recording Arts and Science" submit legible recordings for consideration. For this years Grammy's that would mean records released between October 1st, 1998 and September 30th of 99. These submissions are then reviewed by a panel of 150 experts in various parts of the music industry to make sure that each entry is placed in its right category. Next, nominated ballots with lists of legible recordings go to all NARAS members- how ever members can only send back nominations in the 4 general categories of record, album, song of the year and best new artist 9 out of the 22 specific musical areas. The Grammy people figure that this helps keep the "Polka" artists from deciding rap nominees and vice versa. When the leading nominees are determined a final ballet goes out to NARAS members and in the final round members vote in the 4 general categories and in only 8 of the 22 music areas. Fortunately, Will, an SLS viewer and a member of the NARA, recently received his big book o' entries for the this years Grammy awards so he could submit his votes to the Recording Academy. Thankfully he notified SeemsLikeSalvation News the full scoop on exactly where Nine Inch Nails placed. Please keep in mind these are not the final nominations, but more like the nominations for the final nominations. "The Fragile" was one of the 884 entries for "Album of the Year". "The Day the World Went Away" and "We're in This Together" were 2 of the 44 entries for "Best Hard Rock Performance". "Starf***ers, Inc." (as the Recording Academy wrote it) was entered amongst 36 others for the "Best Metal Performance". NIN scored a whopping 6 entries for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance", dominating the other 19. "I'd be surprised if they weren't the final nominees and even the winners of this field," reports Will. "The Fragile" was also entered into the "Best Alternative Music Performance" category amongst 59 others. The last category Nine Inch Nails was nominated for was "Best Hard Rock Performance" back in '97 for their experimental drum and bass track 'The Perfect Drug' off 'The Lost Highway' soundtrack. Unfortunately, The Smashing Pumpkins took this award home with them for "The End is the Beginning is the End," which ex-NIN drummer/programmer Chris Vrenna contributed too. Since 'The Fragile' was and still is critically acclaimed by major record magazines across the country; Nine Inch Nails have a very strong potential on this years Grammy awards, which take place on February 23rd, 2000 at 8pm on ABC. Thanks ever so much to: Will

		Peter Christopherson & NIN Working Together Again Peter Christopherson, who directed many NIN videos such as "Wish," "Pinion," and "Happiness In Slavery," helped out on this years tour by contributing work on the digital effect backdrop projections that Nine Inch Nails are using during their concerts, which David Carson directed. According to a mailing list letter written by Coil front man, John Balance, "Peter met Trent Reznor a few weeks back." Speaking of Coil, they will be recording and working over the New Year on new material and finishing up their release of 'Backwards' under Trent Reznor's label, Nothing Records. Thanks a lot to: Evil Paul. Godhead A New Band To Be Signed To Nothing Records? The band "Godhead" located in Washington D.C. has a possible chance to be signed to nothing records, if not Maverick records. Trent Reznor went to see the band perform at a New Orleans show a few months ago; after sending several reps to scope the band out. Their last album "Power Tool Stigmata" which contained an industrial cover of "the Beatles" "Eleanor Rigby", got some radio air play about a year ago. Since then they've toured with Jack Off Jill, GWAR, Christian Death, and Switchblade Symphony. As an added Bonus the band got together with EX Marilyn Manson Guitarist Scott P. AKA Daisy Berkowitz, and wrote a song titled "I Sell Society" which will appear on the possible nothing records release. You can also catch Godhead on a Industrial cover or "Amazing Grace" on the soundtrack for the movie "Terrorfermer", and a to be announced soundtrack to a Playstation Racing video game. Check out Godhead's offical website at www.godhead.com.

		Brief Charlie Clouser Interview From Milan Luca Moccafighe, was one of the many SLS fans that attended yesterday's gig in Milan, but she was one of the few that had the chance to speak with Charlie Clouser before the concert. "You might be interested in the fact that I spoke with Charlie Clouser for about ten minutes and he told me the reason 'the Fragile' was delayed," she said after listening to Clouser, " was because of the Marilyn Manson disc and a year spent fucking around." She continued to explain, "We then spoke of Chris Vrenna, and he told me that they're still good friends, but after 10 years he wanted to do something else, but maybe he will remix something off the Fragile." Moccafighe continued to chat with Clouser which he said, "that he likes Jerome so much as the new drummer because he's funky and groovy in his way of playing." When Moccafighe explained to him that he was very happy that Robin was back in the band, Clouser responded, "I'm happy too, the band wouldn't have been the same without him." Barcelona Press Conference Results Laia, who attended the press conference in Barcelona, before Nine Inch Nails took to the stage the following evening on November 14th, submitted a detailed a review with many answers to what Trent Reznor had to say about The Fragile, the band and more... "My brother David and me went to the press conference NIN did in Arts Hotel in Barcelona," said Laia. "The date: Saturday 13th of November at 4 PM," she adds. Although she and her brother were very nervous because they are fans, "we weren't working there." "Finally all the band appeared," she explained. "They gave everybody 3 minutes to do some photos and then they sat down," she continued. "We had Trent Reznor, Robin Finck, Jerome Dillon, Charlie Clouser and Danny Lohner in front of us," she mentioned. "Trent is very shy but he communicated with us peacefully," she adds, "Robin is incredible: very friendly and his eyes are always looking around." "Without his paint on," she explained, "his face seems very young." She noticed that Charlie Clouser and Jerome Dillon paid attention in every thing. "And what about Danny," she questioned, "he is very friendly too." "He likes to talk to everybody," said Laia. As the journalists began to do ask their questions to the band. She remembered a few answers Trent said to the press. "He thinks he has reunited the best band to do his shows," explained Laia after paying close attention. Trent said, "he was very proud of all his work with the band," added Laia "and that he was also worried about his work creating The Fragile, because he knows it is functioning in a bad way, but he said he preferred to take the risk of publishing an album like 'The fragile.' "But the reason why he did this," she continued, "is he believed he needed to offer all these songs." "When the rest of the band spoke," Laia mentioned that Robin Finck and Charlie Clouser said to the press that Trent Reznor never forced them to follow his indications to play the songs and also during the shows. "Then, when the press conference finished," she mentioned "the band gave us time for getting their signatures on the covers, posters, etc." "And here, she adds, "my brother and me had time to talk with the band." They asked a few questions, "but were very nervous," she mentioned again. "We talked to Robin, Charlie, Trent, Jerome and Danny," adds Laia. After Danny Lohner made some jokes with them to make them feel more comfortable she adds, "the only thing I can say is that I thought they were dark and serious, and the impression they gave me was really nice." "They are an incredible band," after enjoying the day. NIN Attend Iggy Pop Gig, Scoop On US Tour, No ATR In Milan We were sent two NIN Milan Alcatraz reviews yesterday with a scoop concerning the US tour. Apparently after Matteo Cipolla, spoke with Charlie Clouser before their performance, he mentioned that the U.S. tour should most definitely start in February and go through the whole month of March. Unfortunately, Atari Teenage Riot did not open for NIN yesterday, because they played Milan just 3 days prior to NIN's gig. Also, the whole NIN crew attended an Iggy Pop concert before they kicked off their 2-hour show later that evening in the same arena after holding a press conference. Our second review, written by Jean Paul Braghin completely details each Nine Inch Nails track including a complete set list. A must read... For those who are still hesitant about submitting their own experiences or encounters with the band... it's all good, just type away!! We accept everything and anything... Lots more to come...

We'll have larger scans of the single in the next few days. Manson Peforms With Iggy Pop In yesterdays update on the really randoms section of Rollingstone.com features an update about Marilyn Manson attending an Iggy Pop gig at a Dublin club HQ after performing the Europe MTV Video MTV Awards. "In what was no doubt a proud moment for Manson, the Iggster invited him up on stage to sing along on 'Avenue B' (the title track to Pop's latest album) and "TV Eye," says Rollignstone. Speaking of Rollingstone Online, they feature on their website called "Battle of the Bands" in which you are asked to choose one band over another. There is a Trent Reznor vs. Marilyn Manson battle and the score is as follows: Trent with 84% of the votes totaling 11,400 votes Marilyn has 16% of the votes totaling 2,190 votes. Thanks a lot to: neil, NINXPX. 9 things that make the 90's distinct Mtv ran a show yesterday called, "9 things that make the 90's distinct," which featured short clips of Trent Reznor back in the old days (with black long hair) giving a statement concerning the media. These quotes are not exact, but close: "the news today is more entertaining than it ever has been" and "People watch OJ Simpson [on the news] fleeing the police seeing if he is going to blow his head or something". michael thomas, Koma. Manson Omega Symbol Soon To Be Dead Manson recently posted another message on his discusson board and briefly mentions that he won't be writing any more messages for a while and that the Omega and the symbol will be dead. Manson Post - 11/16/99 11:27:59 HERE IT IS The posts were cleared to make space. New ideas. New ways of thinking. That's all. I may not post for some time as I am going away from "civilization" for awhile. In the meantime, my site will slowly change day by day. And Omega and the symbol will be dead. Thanks to everyone who appeared on TLTOE. I hope you can hear yourselves in the backround. If you weren't there, I hope the cd makes you feel like you were. We are born as angels and our parents are God. They make us in there image. We follow their commandments. When we reach the age of reason, the Age of Horus, we can no longer be what our "parents" our "god" our "society" would like us to be. Maturity, sensibility, rebellion, 15. This is when we fall. This is Lucifer. Being what you want isn't wrong. The story has always been written from someone else's perspective. Now we must write our own, here among thorns. Next time I see you, I will announce the title of the new album, and share some footage of the recording. The Third and Final Beast MM=2000 1/5/69 Thanks a lot to: MannedMissile.

"most of it is just silly," says Hustad, "but Manson and NIN were mentioned many times because they have a history of hidden tracks on their records..." Manson was mentioned for having Track 99 on ACS. "The cover of Broken was shown because it contains hidden tracks, adds Hustad. "Then they did a segment that was mildly worth-watching that compared Tori and Trent and tried to expose a "hidden relationships" between them..." Hustad continued to explain, " they mentioned that Tori says "made my own pretty hate machine" in Caught a Lite Sneeze, that they both recorded albums in eerie places (Tori in a haunted house in Iowa, Trent in the Tate Mansion in LA), that Tori came and visited Trent at the Mansion while he was recording TDS and that there was a supposed fling between them, and that they both released double albums on the same day." Near the trail end of the show Hustad explained, "Then there was a one or two second video clip of Trent saying "I met Tori as a friend, and I've always respected her"... "nothing major, and certainly no info that even a novice NIN or Manson fan wouldn't know, but it was nice to see Manson and Trent get some airtime on MTV," comments Hustad.

		Fragility Tour - 7 Live NIN Pictures Including 10 Reviews Unfortunately the lighting conditions for Max Steiner's personal camera at the Pabellon Valle Hebron arena in Barcelona weren't all that brilliant, and that the camera/film weren't quite of the quality needed for short-exposure, high-sensitivity photography that you see the official Nine Inch Nails website using for their photography section. Fortunuately, Steiner's friend Kobra was able to develope and scan 7 reasonal shots, which can be found over on our World-Tour Journal. While you're over there check out the lengthy review Kobra submited among the other 9 reviews we currently have archived.

You can find them all here, just follow the banner. ZZZombiE also found a website called Dot Music, which has a feature on the 1999 MTV EVMA. You can find links to two streaming real video files, which are MTV interviews with the stars at the Awards. "I've checked the first one and it turned out to be over 2 hours long," ZZZombiE said. "I didn't have time and desire to spend watching all of it," he adds "but who knows, maybe there is a Manson interview on it. And there are two of these files!" Thanks a lot to: ZZZombiE. Guitar Tablature for The Fragile We advertised Fragile tablature around the time The Fragile came out in September, but many complained the work was unfinished and completely incorrect. So a viewer named, Alex Robertson decided to take the matter in his own hands by tabing the entire album on his website here: http://www.thefreeinternet.co.uk/mog2/guitar_tab.htm. It's very thorough, and includes bass and piano parts. Thanks a lot to: Alex Robertson.

		David Carson Tidbits Concerning Past Work I recently bought David Carson's first two photography books "The End Of Print," and "2nd Sight," including his recently released 'Fotografiks,' which I must say is mesmerizing... I couldn't help but notice that in Carson's graphic design book "2nd Sight" he talks about how he designed Bush's cover art to "Sixteen Stone." This is what he had to say: "I was standing in my kitchen in Del Mar, at the sink. talking on the phone and I was telling a guy from the band Future Primitive that it was a really bad name. Then later when I am designing the sleeve he tells me that we have to mention his dog somewhere on the sleeve... and the dog is called Bush. So I suggested: there's your name." There are a few other meanings to the word. "One of my bigger mistakes was later turning down directing the Bush video..." Anyhow, I find this extremely ironic, since this is the guy Trent hooks up with that not only designs the cover art to Bush's "Sixteen Stone" but was also the guy who spawned the bands thoughts in naming themself after a dog! After all, Trent did say in SPIN, April '97, "It shocks me to see Bush go to No. 1. Not to single them out, but I cannot respect or tolerate the lack of innovation." We all trace each others steps some times...

Manson Speaks Out To Fans About His Friendship With Reznor A single Marilyn Manson fan, spoke the words of many last night on the official Manson discussion board concerning the silence between Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson. Jeff Popplewell, the fan who wrote the message, carried his voice so loud that Marilyn Manson responded with a lot to say. Below is Popplewell's message to Marilyn Manson: Subject: Manson, No disrespect, but you got ALOT of Nerve Article: I'll be the first to say that I don't know the whole story between you and Trent but from what I DO know I'd say that You Have Alot Of Nerve to publicly disrespect the man who, in my opinion, is SOLELY responsible for you having as wide a fan base as you have. If not for him you would PROBABLY still be playing in shit bars in Florida. AGAIN I MUST SAY I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO YOU after all I have been a fan of yours since the first single,(GYG) and definetly support your message. I just want to see the two of you back together. I would also like to hear your side of the story. If you read this, Manson, just know that I and MANY of the mutual fans you share with NIN are disappointed with this SEEMINGLY childish disrespect of one another. JP Marilyn Manson responded here, which can be read below: RE: Manson, No disrespect, but you got ALOT of Nerve Article: to keep it short, I have had nothing but good things to say, despite my alleged betrayal. I consider Trent like a brother and I miss him. However, I won't sit back and get bashed when I have provided him with about 10 million dollars in income. I wish him luck. I am my own world, his is what it is. I have never wanted to compete. sincerely marilyn manson Following Manson's above post, he continued with this letter, which can also be read below: Subject: I Have nerve Article: I doubt I would be doing anything other than this, with or without anyone's help, because will power is the only path to getting your dreams. this subject is pointless and only one that Trent really needs to bring up. I'm quite busy thinking about my art. good night all mm Thanks a lot to: Peter Pumpkin, XxSLipKnOtxX101, Ton13X. Random Nothing News On the show "cnndotcom" saturday, there was a seqment about the creation of Toy Story 2. There was an interview with an computer animator, and he had a stack of Cd's next to his computer. On top of the stack was none other than The Fragile, sitting face up. There was nothing else worth mentioning... Thanks a lot to: michael williams. Manson's claymation video, "Astonishing Panorama..." premiered on MTV Italy this week. Thanks to: Kirio. For week 7 on the billboard charts nin are currently resting at 87. Thanks to: jason. Nine Inch Inch Nails To Play Palladium Apparently, Nine Inch Nails will be playing a show at the Palladium in Los Angeles, according to KROQ.com. It also sounds like it might be fairly soon at that, says an animation advertising the upcoming events on the concert index. Palladium can hold roughly 2,000 people, which seems way too small for NIN, but not really a club at the same time. Unfortunately, Palladium is notoriously known for bad sound. Other bands that have played there in the past are Tool, Sugar Ray, Ben Folds Five and Ministry to just name a few. Wish Covered by Brokebox; Sample Online From Tribute Album We've been informed that there's been some confusion about the track listing to "Halo Corrode: A Manipulative Tribute to NIN", so here's the deal: "Brokebox was originally track 11," adds Patrick Matthies of Brokebox, "but then Dwell Records remasterd the CD and we got bumped up to track 3." Matthies says, "The way I understand it is everyone else got bumped back a spot." Also, you can now download a short sound clip of the Brokebox version of 'Wish' at their official website (www.brokebox.com), its in the sound clips section. The clip starts about 45 seconds into the song and goes until about the 1:20 mark. Over the next couple of weeks they will gradually make the sound clip longer and longer. And finally, be the coolest kid on your block and get a Brokebox forwarding e-mail address. Just tell them what user name you want and they'll set it up for you (example: yourname@brokebox.com). More updates for you in the near future. And remember, January 25th '99 is the release date for the tribute... Marilyn Manson Comments About MTV Video Awards The official Marilyn Manson news website features some quotes from Marilyn Manson in regard to his third VMA appearance. Manson had this to say, "It was rather ironic that teenage girls with breast implants and rappers with violent and misogynistic lyrics spent the whole night thanking Jesus Christ of all people. It is clearly by unchristian means that these alleged 'friends of God' have made their millions so I chose a more honest way to say thanks."

		Calling All NIN Concert Attendees We've been asked many times the past few days, from those who attending the European itinerary, if they could submit concert reviews. We are excepting anything and everything... We've begun to establish a complicated, yet simple website called the "Euro-Tour Diary," which we plan to launch once our reviews begin to flow in... So if you plan to attend an upcoming Nine Inch Nails concert, and would like to submit a review... just let us know by writing me here. Please include the date and the name of the arena of which you plan to attend. Thanks in advance! Axl Rose Speaks About His New Musical Tastes On today's edition of MTV's 1515 was an exclusive interview with frontman Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses. In a scene of some older concert footage, Rose could be seen wearing a white NIN shirt with a red "SIN" logo on the front and the symmetrical double N (no I) in blue. He proceeded to speak about his former bandmates' musical tastes to Kurt Loder: Loder: This "End of Days" track, "Oh My God," is real, real different. Have you been listening to [or] working with samples and stuff a lot? Has your whole musical approach changed? Rose: No, not a lot, no. Basically, [I'm] listening to everything that's out there as far as music goes. That was a big difference between myself and Slash and Duff, is that I didn't hate everything new that came out. I really liked the Seattle movement. I like White Zombie. I like Nine Inch Nails, and I like hip-hop. I don't hate everything. I don't think everybody should be worshiping me 'cause I was around before them. Robin Finck was never specifically mentioned, but to read on about this interview click here. Thanks a lot to: The Fish hsiF ehT, Ryvers. Nothing Promotional Goodies SLS News has been informed that Nothing Records has recently released "nothing records" promotional posters, CD tabs, paper stickers, and window stickers.

Marilyn Manson Stills From European MTV Video Music Awards Unfortunately, these are the only two stills of Marilyn Manson performing "Rock Is Dead" during the European MTV Video Music Awards that we have to work with... These stills come from the UK MTV website. Here's what, Alex from Portugal, another SLS viewer, thought about Manson's performance at the European MTV Music Awards: hi. my name is Alex, from Portugal, and i'm a SLS news viewer for quite some time. i just watched the Marilyn Manson performance on MTV European Music Awards. And let me tell you, it ROCKED!! the host, Ronan Keating, was involted in black smoke as the lights went down, and as he announced "Marilyn Manson", the band began playing the intro riffs of "Rock Is Dead". Then, Manson appeared on stage, and i guess he opened a lot of jaws in the room as we was wearing nothing but a comboy hat, some cowbot boots and g-string, and had his whole body covered by mud, or something like that (and no make-up..that's odd). The performance was great, Manson's voice sounded ok, but i've heard him sing a lot better live, in particular in the concert he gave here in my own town, Lisbon. I didn't notice much response from the crowd... i guess most of them were stunned by Marilyn's outfit...or the lack of it. The stage had not much to do with Manson, except for the cross that can be seen on the cover of the live cd "The Last Tour On Earth". It had tv's in it and it was set on fire, sowehere along the performance. To end the song, during which Manson gave some "middle fingers" to the cameras on stage, Manson picked his microfone and trashed the drums, as i've seen him do on other concerts. The rest of the band also caused some destruction. In resume, it was a very powerful performance. And i couldn't help notice they saved the Manson performance for last... i guess Britney Spears or the Offspring just aren't that good to create a performance suspense... even though Marilyn Manson didn't win the "best rock" award...the Offspring did...go figure.. well, i guess that's a "Pretty Award for a Lamy Band"... Thanks a lot to: angel manson, ZZZombiE, matt for showing us the pictures! Alexander Jodorowsky To Film Marilyn Manson's 'Holy Wood' After months of question who will help direct Marilyn Manson's debut directorial film work, "Holywood." Manson met up with Alexander Jodorowsky on the eve of the European Mtv Music Video Awards, reports the online Chilean Newspaper called 'La Tercera'. They joined in Dublin the night before the MTV Europe awards. "i liked him, it's a wonderful monster" says the director and writer, which last novel "Albina y los Hombres Perro" ('Albina and the Dog-Men') debuted in stores reciently. "He sent me the bills to see him. I've been received with a limousine, a two-meter bodyguard and a man with piercings in ears, nose and tongue" tells Jodorowsky to 'La Tercera' by phone contact from Paris. "He has a story for a movie to be produced by himself and wants me to direct it". Jodorowsky has directed crude surrealistic movies, with universes filled with nightmarish creatures, were children crucify their parents, elephants bleed by its trunks and despited knive-trowers mutilate their wives. The plot is related to a futuristic Hollywood, where people have the right to kill their children since they're embrio until they're age 18. "they do a phone call, and a truck comes and pulverizes them. Then a youth revolution comes. It's about the struggle between two generations". Jodorowsky is the author of a perturbant filmography, which proposes a way to salvation starting from a purifying-cruelty and became a cult. His first movie "El topo" (The Mole?), a mystical western, shown first in New York in 1971 captivated Lennon so he paid the exibition rights to show the movie in all US. Later, Jodorowsky worked in the original plot for 'Dune'. His filmography continues with 'La Montana Sagrada' ('The holy mountain'), 'Santa Sangre' and the upcoming second part to 'The Mole'. Thanks a lot to: Denis Fuenzalida.

		Manson Performs "Rock Is Dead" During The European MTV Video Music Awards Is the all American Anti-Christ back or has Manson transformed his glam-rock look into just another wacked out city slicker? Well, according to ZZZombiE, an SLS viewer, who watched the European MTV Video Music Awards earlier today informed us that Marilyn Manson sure did a number on their live performance of "Rock Is Dead." This is what he had to say: Marilyn Manson has just given an astonishing performance at the 1999 MTV European Music Awards. The band closed the ceremony performing "Rock Is Dead". Marilyn's look was something very different tonight. He wore nothing but a g-string, a cowboy hat and leather boots. His whole body, from top to bottom, was painted black. Actually it looked more like dirt. His hands were covered by something white and by the end of the performance some of the paint peeled off and he looked even more scarier, Tourniquet-like. What I meant when I said "Tourniquet-like", is that he looked similar to his image in their Tourniquet video... scabs and all. As the song finished, they smashed their guitars and drums. It was an uncensored performance with explicit lyrics and Manson showing his middle finger to the audience. I think now all Backstreet Boys' fans are going to have nightmares. The set on MM's show included a TV-cross, which as the performance went by was set on fire. The rest of the band was dressed in leather clothes, but I can't report any details. I should say that it was a poor camera work. It was focused on Marilyn most of the time, it showed close ups of Twiggy and John5 several times and a few times of Ginger Fish. But Madonna didn't get any camera attention at all. I can't even confirm the latest reports on whether Madonna has no hair now. I've got it all on tape, but those who missed it will have an opportunity to tape the show, since they're going to rerun it 100 times. As they finished playing, the credits went off, but they kept showing the stage and the audience. You could see the crew cleaning up the stage from the mess that Marilyn Manson made. This was an incredible performance, that's all I can say. Unfortunately, Marilyn Manson didn't win the award for Best Rock. The Offspring did. Thanks a lot to: ZZZombiE. Solidifying The Fragile You can find a very informative interview by John Pecorellis about the separation of personal studios at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans. Included in the article are interviews with Charlie Clouser, Keith Hillebrandt, Danny Lohner, Alan Moulder and of course... Trent Reznor. They each describe a little about their roles with The Fragile and how they all worked together to make The Fragile the best Nine Inch Nails record to date. Below is a snippet from the article, which Clouser explains the use of their mini-studios: "Through our network," says Clouser, "I'll be making use of our little mini-studios --maybe experimenting with some droney sounds for an intro, creating rhythm tracks, drum programs, bass lines. This is the one situation I've ever been involved in where you don't know what the end result is gonna be. If you're doing a remix for a band with heavy guitars that wants bad-ass beats, you can predict what they're gonna want. I can just go, 'How can I make that sound rugged and tough and cool?' There's a million tricks in studio wizardry and I'm super-good at what I do in that, but it still isn't the same with Trent. "his is like a whole different category of art."

		NIN London Concert Reviews Including A VIP Pass Scan Without totally spoiling events that are soon to come when we see Nine Inch Nails kick off their world tour in four days. Three lucky SLS viewers, who attended the final dress rehearsal on November 9th in London, wrote a few brief summaries about what all went down during this chance of a lifetime. James Johnson, who will be contributing a more detailed review later this evening, had lots to say about the 2-hour event he will never forget.... Hi there - I heard the news about the dress rehearsal yesterday at 9.00am GMT (I'm in the UK) and jumped in the car to drive 2.5 hours to London to get a ticket - Only 40 people turned up - there were spare tickets. The record company gave out VIP passes on chains to go round your neck, plus huge posters of the Fragile cover. A free coach was put on a 2.15pm from the record studios to the other side of town where the band were rehearsing - I can't remember the name of the place at the moment but I plan to write a full review including what I can remember of the setlist order later. The band started playing at 5pm in a little warehouse, and there were no more than 100 people attending (including nothing records employees etc). They played for roughly 1 hour 40 minutes and a wide variety of material from all three albums. Safe to say the new material sounds great live! I stood about 1.5 metres away from Trent in a very intimate atmosphere, with only about 20 of us stood at the front. There was tape on the floor to ensure we did not step too close to the band. We had to sit down for a short while, while they used the screen to project video whilst they played through it - the room was too small for us to stay stood up without blocking its view. I will be writing a full review of the rehearsal and everything that happened later in the day. Thanks a lot to: James Johnson. Bryan Barton, our second concert attendee, describes a little about the full screen projection visuals during the concert, including other NIN guests... at approximately 2:30 pm, the people who managed to get to the offices of island-universal in West London were given laminants and ordered onto a large coach (bus). at about 4:00 the bus arrived at the rehearsal studio in East London. After waiting only 20 minutes, people were ushered into the large rehearsal room and soon after the curtain went down to the sound of 'pinion'. the band looked great; the funky halogen beams skating about overhead. they played alot of new material, most guitar heavy with cool electronic sutures before the curtain went down for about 20 minutes of instrumentals (from Fragile) and full-screen visuals took over (ocean waves, deep sea imagery and a surreal computer animation). they came out of 'hurt' and proceeded with 'TDTWWA' and then started rocking hard again. they played all the classics: down in it, head like a hole, closer... i didn't hear 'the fragile' track, but i have a feeling it was saved for an encore. the small London crowd were not as 'vocal' as their American counterparts may have been which may have decreased the potential excitement factor for the band, but they all looked into it and played very well. i think it was the first Theremin solo i've ever seen from Charlie. the lighting followed that of the Fragile artwork: red and white streaks with blurred colored coming through. the lights and band looked better than ever. after about 2 hours, the band left the stage for the second and last time after playing 'starfuckers'. as i was leaving i caught a glimpse of Alan Wilder from Depeche Mode/Recoil speaking to Bryan Black of haloblack. (before NIN played, the new recoil album was played through the sound system...) over all the best concoction of NIN yet. be prepared to be blown away... Thanks a lot to: bryan barton. Stefan Kraft, remembering vividly about what took place, wrote us about the atmosphere of the NIN gig warehouse. last night was something really special. Up until 12 o'clock there weren't too many people there. By 1.30pm about 40 lucky nin fans got some fragile posters and there VIP passes. at 2.30 we were picked up by a coach and brought to the secret location somewhere in east london, close were the nin picture was taken, where they posed near the gas storages. the show started at 17.00, and we were friendly asked , not to climb the stage, which was only about 4 inches from the floor for the rehearsal, and not to take any pictures. But I am sure they will put some on NIN.com. The set started with the first song of The Fragile, then terrible lie, sin, the frail, the wretched. But I can't remember the full set exactly. Nine Inch Nails played for about 1, 3/4 hours and it was perfect! Unfortunately they missed out on The Fragile and Were In This Together, but other than that, everything was in there! A lot of TF and PHM tracks, as well as a couple of TDWS and Broken songs. The band looked terriffic and full of energy. They seemed to enjoy it (hopefully). In the end, all I can say is, that this was definitely the best concert ever. A full NIN concert with just about 100 people in the audiece. No pushing , no fighting (I mean, we would have been thrown out anyway), everybody had enough room. We were standing about 4-5 meters away from Trent Reznor and the others. I still can't believew it! Thanks a lot to: Stefan Kraft. Nothing Records Press Release Concerning Yesterdays Gig Nothing Records sent out a press release yesterday evening concerning the European/UK sneak preview tour.
