		Official Nine Inch Nails Japan Tour Dates According to the famous Japanese rock magazine "Rockin' On" have announced 5 Nine Inch Nails tour dates in Japan to take place before Nine Inch Nails heads out to play the Big Day Out festival in January. Commy, our Japanese friend from ThePerfectDrug website, has been keeping SeemsLikeSalvation glued to all the latest Japanese news explained to us that the, "coordination company noticed on their web site, there isn't any additional shows besides their announcement." January 10th, 2000 - Tokyo (Tokyo Bay NK hall) January 11th, 2000 - Tokyo (Tokyo Bay NK hall) January 12th, 2000 - Tokyo (Tokyo Bay NK hall) January 14th, 2000 - Yokohama (Pacific Yokohama) January 15th, 2000 - Osaka (Osaka Castle hall) Tickets will sell for 7000 yen = $67.00. Commy explains, "Japanese ticket fees are the most expensive in the world!" The coordination company, Creativeman, will make a formal announcement next week and Commy will confirm the J-tour dates again and let us know about her findings... These dates are tentative and are subject to change. Thanks ever so much to: Commy Select Magazine - NIN Interview Online Darryl, an SLS viewer, has transcribed the article from the November 1999 issue of 'Select' magazine. There is also a review of 'The Fragile' in this British magazine that the viewer has also transcribed, and it's included with this update. This is an interesting little article, nothing too new or earth-shattering but, it's interesting to hear Reznor's comments about his fall-out with Manson. He almost seems sorry about the whole thing. Plus, it is surprising to see the Colarado shootings linked to Reznor, still after all this time you would think scapegoats of this nature would have been put to rest... Select - Fragile Review Select - Trent Reznor Interview Thanks a lot to: Darryl. NIN Buys 25 Controller Keyboards For Upcoming Tour On October 25th, Sweetwater Sound, one of the biggest pro audio retailers, ran a technical tip of the day about why Nine Inch Nails recently bought 25 controller keyboards from them for Trent Reznor to use on the first leg of their tour, which kicks off in 15 days in Barcelona. The guys from Nine Inch Nails recently bought 25 controller keyboards from us for Trent Reznor to use on the first leg of their upcoming tour. Why 25 you ask? They figure that will get them through the first 25 shows. Hopefully he'll only destroy one per night. While this is an extreme example, the moral of the story applies to everyone. Always have a spare or some solid contingency plan for what you will do when (notice use of the word "when") gear fails. For this Nine Inch Nails tour there is literally going to be at least two of everything. If any part of one keyboard rack goes down, there is an identical rack waiting to be inserted in its place. The specific problem with the rack that went down can be sorted out later. While these methods are appropriate for their circumstances they are probably somewhat extreme for most musicians, but the point is the same: always have a good contingency plan. As much as this is a no-brainer for live performance, I'm always amazed to find that studio owners don't realize that they are also in a live performance. Anytime you have clients in your studio that's as good as a live performance. If the hard drive on your hard disk recorder goes down in the middle of a session what are you going to do? Always have spares and backups of critical and volatile equipment. The equipment we use these days is so incredibly inexpensive that there is truly no excuse for a professional to not have a good backup plan. And keep in mind that brand new gear is actually more likely to fail than gear that has been in use (see Infantile Failure). Thanks a lot to: Mika. Warp Records 10th Anniversary Party In NYC The Warp Records 10th anniversary party in NYC is coming up on Friday, November 19th and tickets for the party are now on sale.

Random Nothing News SisManson, an SLS viewer, saw the new horror film, "House On Haunted Hill" last night. When it got to the part where the guest list was being changed on the computer 'Sweet Dreams' started to play low and gradually got louder. A good portion of the song was presented in the actual movie. They also played Manson's "Sweet Dreams" while the credits were rolling. Thanks a lot to: SisManson. The "We're In This Together" NIN video rises one more spot on the MuchMusic countdown at 23 from 24 last week. I also thought I would mention that many radio stations around the country, such as The End, 107.7 in Seattle have begun to promote "Into The Void" as the next single off The Fragile, just as we have reported on October 16th. My local radio station, WHFS, played "Into The Void" twice yesterday evening. Thanks to: shawnoneill, Yaz,ian. This random news piece has nothing to do with our news, but I thought I'd mention since this program has been on our updates a lot recently. The Box Network, according to Rollingstone, was bought out by MTV. The Box was the first to debut Marilyn Manson's "Astonishing Panorama Of The Endtimes" claymation video beating MTV by a few days because of scheduling conflicts says Marilyn Manson's management. "Apparently, competition is a four letter word" says Rollingstone. The Box was also the only station to play Manson's "Portrait Of An American Family" videos (Dope Hat, Lunchbox, etc) before Manson got big. Steve, an sls viewer, wrote in to say, "It was a really good station when I used to get it. MTV just plays to what's big (and even then they don't play the full fucking video)," said Steve. "Box played a lot of the more perverse stuff," he adds. Thanks a lot to: jason, steve.

		Trent Reznor Interview In Zillo Magazine A german music magazine called "Zillo" features a large interview with Trent Reznor in their latest issue, 5 pages long. There's not much new in it, except that he is still working with Dr. Dre on some material. He also confirms that Richard Patrick will be a part of Tapeworm and that "a big part of the Tapeworm material is already finished". He's also talking about the US-Media (and the Bullshit they're writing), the 'Starfuckers, Inc.' Track (which he claims as a Joke!), and his Nothing Studios. Thanks a lot to: nils. Manson CD Advertisement & Limted 2CD Box Set On the right is an advertisment for Mansonīs Live CD which can be found in two German Magazines: The german issue of 'Rolling Stone' and a magazine called 'Zillo'. The very funny advertisement shows a picture of a total destroyed microphone stand which is claimed as it is from the concert in Munich last Summer (The 'Riot' - one) and the slogan reads "I Survived". The most interesting thing about this advertisemnet is, that it says there will be a limited 2CD Box Set, including unreleased & new tracks. The live album, "Last Tour On Earth" is released in Germany on November 15th. Thanks a lot to: nils. Japanese Tour Dates Soon Commy, our ever friendly overseas source from ThePerfectDrug website, has learned that a Japanese coordination company told her that they will have some new details about the Japanese Tour later this week, but when she checked their site it said, "more details will [be] out in the next week." Commy told SeemsLikeSalvation, "I'll get some more details, for example all tour dates and each hall name in the next week. When I getting an information, I'll let you know, surely." Thanks alot to: Commy. The Fragile Certified Platinum According to Billboard Online, The Fragile is certified Platinum with shipments of one million units! Now as we mentioned last week, read our October 15th headline "The Fragile Is The Most Successful Selling NIN Release To Date," this does not mean that one million people have bought The Fragile. Nor does it mean that even 500,000 people have bought The Fragile. It's complicated to explain, but hopefully our October 15th update can nock some sense in to ya if you're not following. But we should celebrate, because we are playing by the same rules and standards that make Britney Spears and Limp Bizkit "multi-platinum." Unfortunaly, among all this good news The Fragile has droped to postiion 43 this week on the Billboard 200 charts. Thanks a lot to: NINXPX, Damaris, Dilldoid. Trent Reznor Graces The Cover Of Pulse! Magazine Tower Records very own free monthly magazine, Pulse!, features Trent Reznor on the cover of their November issue. The 8 page article was conducted while Trent Reznor was at the Bahamas for the week this summer, which was written by Bill Forman. The article is called "Fun In The Sun With Trent Reznor" and the interview is from "down on the beach, warm Caribbean waters." The article extends from pages 42 to 5l with new photos, which we'll have up soon. This interview is similar to the Rollingstone issue, not a straight forward Question and Answer interview, but quotations throughout. Here is an excerpt from the article: "One thing that's come out of this record is that I'm not as cripplingly shy in the studio," says Reznor. "I have more confidence. I can work with other people now and not be so intimidated that I can't make a sound. I feel a lot more confident on a musical level. In the future, I'm really aiming towards becoming involved in much more collaborative situations, outside of Nine Inch Nails and maybe even within Nine Inch Nails. I like the idea of just going head-to-head with someone else and seeing what we're both capable of." ........"The Fragile is somewhat more optimistic and a whole lot less linear. The album also finds Reznor indulging a range of musical tangents, including a marching band (albeit synthesized) on "Pilgrimage" that harks back to Fleetwood Mac's Tusk." The article will be online sometime today or tomorrow... Thanks a lot to: kraw and crystal. God Is In The TV Cover Art Retailers have begun to receive their copies of Marilyn Manson's "God Is In the TV," which comes out On Tuesday, November 2nd.

On page 6 of the December issue of Alternative Press Magazine there is a fan letter written about Trent Reznor from our own SLS news contributors: A WARM PLACE My heartfelt thanks for the in-depth interview with Trent Reznor (A.P. 134). After patiently waiting for the past five years, it is nice to see his return, and many thanks for the explanation about his battle with depression. Had his fans known what he was going through personally, perhaps there would have been less pressure on him to make his next album. Five years has been a long wait to his many dedicated fans. I am very happy that he (in his interviewed words) decided to "shit and get off the pot." Welcome back, NIN. Finally!! ...........Joann Hutton, Philadelphia, PA Thanks a lot to: crystal.

Marc Romanek Book Angelle, an SLS viewer, was flipping through an issue of Jane magazine the other day, which she noticed a small paragraph on a new book out by Marc Romanek, the director of "Closer," and "The Perfect Drug." The book is called "Music Video Stills" and the article mentioned that he has done videos for Nine Inch Nails, Madonna, Lenny Kravitz and Beck. We should imagine that the book will sport stills from Nine Inch Nails in this upcoming release, though we can't be sure. They didn't mention a release date and amazon.com shows no sign of this title. More information as it becomes available. Thanks a lot to: Angelle.

		David Carson Speaks, Mentions Nine Inch Nails & Upcoming Book Release Party On Amazon.com, there is the ability to write a comment if you are the author of the book. David Carson left his thoughts on October 25th about his latest book, 'Fotografiks' which he greatly thanks Trent Reznor. Most of these pictures were inspired by people and events around me. I'd especially like to thank Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails for influencing some aspects of this book and for letting me partake in the photography for his new album. I think most of these photos are multifaceted and need to be looked at in more than one way. This is not a coffee table book. I didn't intend it to be and I don't want anyone to misinterpret this work. Thanks for the support. I hope you enjoy the book. The guys over at The NIN Hotline have discovered that David Carson will be holding a book release party at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City on November 4th. Below is a blurb taken from the official site: Fotografiks: David Carson Thursday, November 4, 1999, 6-8pm David Carson will lecture about his new book, Fotografiks, an exploration of his experimental photography published by Ginko Press. Carson's first book, The End of Print, is a best seller among graphic design publications. I have currently ordered a copy of "Fotografiks," Carson's new book, which was released on October 21st and I hope to post a review next week or so... Can't wait........!! Thanks a lot to: John. NIN Special on Australian Radio The Australian radio station Triple J announced last week that they would be airing the 3 hour Nine Inch Nails special tonight at 10pm on J Files, which we have been talking about all last week. Unfortunately the show is now over, but John Raptis, the Australian Happiness In Slavery Webmaster who was involved in the interview, wrote us to explain some details about went on. "I just finished my bit on triple J. The show is still on. Goes for 3 hours! All on NIN it was a great buzz and heaps of fun with killer rare tracks that I provided!" Raptis added, "I will have a real audio version up on the weekend..." We'll get you all the address to listen once he has it online. The Australian SLS viewers, who tuned in just in time to listen, wrote us with some extra details about the show. The songs that were aired were from all the albums with a few remixes chucked in. The main rarities that they played were "Supernaut," Live version of "Happiness In Slavery" at Woodstock '94, Live "Suck" (Wax Trax), Live video version of "March of The Pigs" and "I'm Afraid of Americans." The main songs that caught a viewer's attention was "10 Miles High," which can be found on the vinyl version of the Fragile and the upcoming import single to "We're In This Together." Triple J also aired the original version of "Physical" by Adam Ant to show the contrast between the NIN version. The interviews consisted of recent American radio interviews such as WFNX and a collection of previous interviews from around the worldrecorded in previous years about the different releases. Thanks a lot to: Sharee, kell and Silence. The Power of Negative Thinking NIN Article A new article on Nine Inch Nails called "The Power of NegatIve Thinking" can be found in the November issue of "The New York Times (Up Front)" A three page article including a couple nice Trent Reznor photographs.

"Love and togetherness are so important to me, and loyalty is an obsession with me. A lot of the that I write about is how I feel that I've been let down. I've never moaned about coming from a broken home, and I think people probably make too much of that, but there's sort of that of that element of that killer line, the best line Trent [Reznor] ever wrote 'Everyone I loved goes away in the end,' followed closely by 'My empire of dirt.'

A viewer said, "when pressed about the release of Manson's home video "God Is In The TV" everyone I spoke to denied its existence vigoursly, though. Seeming as though Manson's "Dead to the World" video is unavailable to my knowledge over here, I think UK Manson fans will probably have to order from overseas to get their hands on it." We'll have more information about the UK release of "God Is In The TV" soon.   Thanks a lot to: Matthew.

		We're In This Together Case Single & New Street Date Did you all know that the three parts of the "We're In This Together" single fit together in a packet that comes with the first disc? The idea is, just like "March Of The Pigs" and the "Closer" singles, is to buy all three, which make a little box set. On the right is a scan of the solicitation sheet that Kraw sent us for the upcoming three parter single, which also includes November 15th as the official release date. Thanks a lot to: kraw. Manson Comments On Starfuckers Inc. The December issue of Alternative Press on page 13 features a statement Manson made about Starfuckers Inc. The media have been reporting that "Starfuckers Inc.," the hard-rock track on Nine Inch Nails' new album, The Fragile, is a swipe at Marilyn Manson's rise to fame. When asked about the track, Manson was nonplused. "I've heard from Trent's people--not Trent [Reznor] personally--that the song is not directed at me and I should not be insulted," says Manson. "If it is intended for me, I'm quite flattered that someone would acknowledge that I am a star, and that I do find pleasure in fucking a star. I don't take [the song] too seriously. Its most redeeming quality is that it was the only song I was able to remember after listened to the album." Cover Art to Manson's "The Last Tour On Earth" Live Album The image on the right is the flaming cross Manson used to rise on and burn when he was on tour earlier this year, which is also the cover art to their live album "The Last Tour On Earth." The image is a scan of the album poster which was spliced together to form what you see. It is a little choppy in some areas, but you get the idea. More information on this live album next week and don't forget it comes out on November 16th! Thanks a lot to: kraw. New Manson Auction Going On Now The Marilyn Manson Auction website updated with lots of new goodies for Manson fans to break out their checkbooks with.

In years past they've had "Down In It," "Sweet Dreams," "The Beautiful People,""I'm Afraid of Americans," and others. This year, they have videos from Squarepusher (Come On My Selector,) 12 Rounds (Pleasant Smell,) and Marilyn Manson (APOTET, although that's not a Halloween selection. They just have it available). It's just too bad these videos are only available for two weeks; as they are the best the Box has to offer I'm told. Thanks to: Tim.

		Sweet Dreams Director Holds Art Show Dean Karr, the director of Marilyn Manson's Sweet Dreams video held an art show to show off his photography this past Saturday night in Los Angeles. An SLS viewer wrote in this morning who attended the event to explain, "a lot of his pictures were amazing" and that he had a photo of Marilyn Manson and one of Twiggy. The photo of Twiggy was him lying down exposing his genital, imagine that! He also had a shot from Method Man's photo session for his 2nd solo CD among many other great photos. TheFragile.com Reopens... Get Ready! Dizzy, the webmaster of TheFragile.com has resurrected his website with 3 new design concepts that surpass any current or past Nine Inch Nails website on the Internet to date. Although unofficial, this website is smooth, clean and damn right fun... Expect the site to grow over the next few weeks because Dizzy is far from complete. Make sure you take a look at the FLASH version first... it's the chocolate center. =) Global Top 30 Albums The Fragile is listed at #17 on the Global Top 30 albums on CNN.com. This is the second week The Fragile has been on the chart, which debuted at #7. Thanks a lot to: AngryPooka. The Fragile On TV Shows Work An SLS viewer couldn't but notice yesterday while he was watching figure skating on Fox. A profile was given on the World Champion, Russian figure skater Maria Butyrskaya that used a 20 second clip of "Even Deeper" which is track 8 on the left Fragile disc. That's not all... NBC played NIN's "Complication" off The Fragile during a portion of its extreme games special called "Gravity Games." Thanks a lot to: Danny, KEN. Marilyn Manson Covers "Five to One" For Doors Tribute Album The Doors official website (www.thedoors.com), features a new street date for the Doors Tribute album. It was originally reported that Marilyn Manson were to cover "People Are Strange," but the official website says they are working on "Five to One" instead. The Doors tribute album release has been rescheduled for Spring 2000 even as Marilyn Manson begins production on the song "Five to One" and UB40 completes their version of "Light My Fire." Look for this amazing collection of smokin' cuts from, among others, Bush, the Cult (performing an incendiary "Wild Child"), and Creed (Performing "Riders on the Storm"). Thanks a lot to: Danny.

		David Carson New Photography Book David Carson, the Fragile artwork genius, released FOTOGRAFIKS on Tuesday, October 21st with over 190 pages of stunning artwork used on The Fragile. Carson is said to be a controversial photographer, known for his extreme close-up shots of common objects and all around abstract images. Each photograph that was used in The Fragile comes with brief explanations in his new book. RhiGgATWaT, an SLS viewer, who discovered Carson's new books, wrote us this morning to explain Towards the back of the book is the exact picture from the cover of the fragile along with two similar ones. It is an extreme close-up of a seashell (maybe deeper inside the downward spiral which also had a shell theme?). There is also a two page spread of the out of focus flowers on the back cover of the fragile. The odd thing is that for the fragile picture, they cut off the top of the picture and put it on the bottom of the back cover. Look at it and you can see how it should fit together. Both the CDs and front cover of the booklet were taken from this flower picture. Also in Carson's book are the pictures from inside NIN's booklet such as the picture from the ripe with decay page, which fades into green. Also, in the middle of the book is the design for www.nin.com with the various sized boxes. The ISBN # for the book is 1584230045, it's a very interesting book to look at while listening to The Fragile. Thanks a lot to: RhiGgATWaT. NIN On MTV Europe News Barry, an SLS viewer, informed us today at the end of this weeks news edition of MTV Europe yesterday.

Audio Testing At The Official Clint Mansell Website The official website is about to start testing in-built audio on the Clint At The Controls website this week - aside from the real media streaming audio/video that you will already have seen, they will also be providing exclusive audio tracks and atmospheric loops within the site. Shortly, a number of short loops will be going up at the site for testing. They have decided to use flash to stream the audio mp3s, so you will need the flash plug-in, if you haven't got it already. For information, the loops are called Bug Drone, Deep South and Tout La Mal, Mon Ami. Depending on your system, the loops may sound a little scratchy, but should be fine in the main. Should the tests be successful, they are planning to introduce longer pieces to enhance the Clint At The Controls experience.

More info on the show can be found on their website, though there isn't anything related to a NIN special just yet. If it does indeed go ahead, those not in Australia can listen via the web. Thanks a lot to: Antonetta. Australian Rollingstone Issue Review The Fragile The November issue of Rollingstone on page 96-97 features a review by Jeff Apter. Facing page has a full-page photo of Trent in a car, hands on the steering wheel with the caption, "Keep your hands where I can see 'em: The king of rock and roll psychodrama, Trent Reznor, takes the wheel." Trent Warfare - Trent Reznor digs deep in the existential dirt for this hard-rock opus, The Fragile. As of this moment, you can forget Courtney Love and her mouthy hyperbole, or Marilyn Manson's hate-your-parents freakshow. Trent Reznor has returned to remind us just who is 1990's most intriguing artist. And unlike the other pair of reprobates, Reznor has - in the main - let his music do the talking. But with the exception of his Lost Highway soundtrack diversion - oh, and the year he spent imprisoned in the studio manning the controls for Manson's Antichrist Superstar - all's been quiet on the Reznow front for a good five years. Yep, half a decade has slid by since The Downward Spiral pinned back several million pairs of ears in 1994 - and Reznor celebrated by dancing a madman's waltz in the Woodstock mud. Not surprisingly, a lot of history has gone into the blockbuster production that is The Fragile. Reznor has had to deal with the runaway success of Nine Inch Nails (a band who exist pretty much in name only), the death of his dearly beloved grandmother, and the unavoidable commercial and artistic pressures that accompany a platinum-plus hit such as The Downward Spiral. Taking all these personal and professional Achilles heels into consideration - and then milking them fot the choice subject matter they so clearly provide - Reznor's emerged with a pretty damned spectacular piece of work. The Fragile is a 23-track, 100 minute-long opus of anguish, loaded with imagination, dexterity and enough nasty sonic thrills to leave you gasping. Contrary as ever, Reznor hasn't exactly packed The Fragile with singles in waiting. Sure, there's one track that screams out for airplay, with its warp-speed riffage, anthemic chorus and inspired steal from Carly Simon's "You're So Vain": that would be "Starfuckers, Inc", which DJ's are going to love back-announcing. No, rather than cranking out the alt-rock hits, Reznor - rock & roll's very own Richard Wagner - has approached this sprawling, engrossing epic as one massive piece of music, a post-grunge symphony. Vocal tracks are interspersed with such instrumental moodpieces as the metallic crunch of "Pilgrimage" and at the other end of the scale, "Ripe", which is all low-key electro-blues acoustics. There's even a hint of David Sylvian exotia during "Into the Void", that is until Reznor's trademark - that throbbing, relentless industrial-rock pulse and tsunami-sized guitars - kicks in and drags the track elsewhere. Still every analyst's dream patient, Reznor's headspace was, clearly as fucked-up as ever while making The Fragile. Look no further than such tracks as "The Day the World Went Away", "The Wretched", "The Great Below", "The Way Out Is Through" and "I'm Looking Forward to Joining You Finally" - or the album's startling opener "Somewhat Damaged", with its "too fucked up to care anymore" chant - they're all none-too-subtle dredges through Reznor's tormented psyche. He's somehow managed to reduce Billy Corgan's worst nightmares to mere walks in the existential park. But what he does share share with the head head Pumpkin is a large scale vision, an uncanny knack to mould great rock & roll art out of the kind of inner turmoil that'd keep even Stephen King up at night. While he could still use an editor, sometimes desperately - and therapy's gotta be cheaper - Trent Reznor continues to shock and startle with the dark beauty of The Fragile. 4 Stars (of 5). Best Tracks: "Starfuckers, Inc", "The Day the World Went Away", "Somewhat Damaged" File Under: Psychodrama Rock - Smashing Pumpkins "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness", Nine Inch Nails "The Downward Spiral", Depeche Mode "Violator". Thanks a lot to: Antonetta. Church NIN Envelope I laughed when I saw this and I thought others would have a laugh or two as well. Sean, an SLS viewer explained, "I received this envelope in my mailbox today and it instantly caught my eye. It's from a church asking for donations. Sort of ironic, don't you think?" It certainly is... Click the scan on the right for a larger scan of the envelope. I'm sure they would have had legal issues if the reversed the second "N". Thanks a lot to: SEAN.

A very comprehensive list (in no order) of the 100 essential albums of the 20th century will appear. That's the essential albums of the last 100 years, folks. The Downward Spiral was selected as one of only 2 "rock" records of the 90's. The other being Nirvana's Nevermind. By being on this list, Trent is in the company of such artists as Miles Davis, David Bowie, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Black Sabbath, Public Enemy, Ramones, Billie Holiday, Prince, Bjork, John Coltrane, BB King, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchel, Chuck Berry, Duke Ellington and Van Morrison. Here is the short piece on the album: The Downward Spiral, Nine Inch Nails Nineties studio technology was waiting years for someone skilled, musical and miserable enough to use it for a grand personal statement. Then Trent Reznor holed up and vented-hard-into his computer. Brought black clothes and digital noise to the mall. Thanks a lot to: NINXPX. NIN Paris Concert Flyer Memorabilia, an SLS viewer, wrote us today to explain while she was at a Chemical Brothers's gig last night at the "Le Z*nith" arena, which NIN will play on November 25th. She was given a Nine Inch Nails flyer that can be seen on the right. Thanks a lot to: Memorabilia. New Fragile Ad in Wired Magazine The Nine Inch Nails advertisement on the right comes from the November '99 issue of Wired Magazine. The image on the right takes up a half a page on page 240.

Also, about three weeks ago they had a special with a mexican band called "Molotov". They showed the videos that, to them, were the most important of the nineties. "Closer" was number 4, just behind Pearl Jam's "Jeremy"(3), Metallica's "Enter Sandman"(2), and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" in the top spot. Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People" also made the list, but Ricardo can't remember the exact position. Thanks a lot to: Ricardo. Search For Female Singer To Not Sing On Nine Inch Nails Tour Apparently the female singer Nine Inch Nails is in search for is not to sing backups on the upcoming world tour. Trent Reznor wrote on his official discussion board under the red room explaining it's for another project: Someone has started a rumor that the female vocalist position is for singing backups on the tour. It is not. I am starting a new project that will involve someone else singing, probably involved lyrically and most likely female. This is not in place of NIN, I just have a lot of extra material and ideas that I'm excited to try in a different situation. More later... Currently No NIN New Years Eve Show Trent Reznor wrote in the red room to explain that there is currently no New Years eve performance. As of right now there is NO show anywhere on new years eve, nor has there ever been one. If there ever IS one, you have my word that it would not be with Bush (as I have heard).

Wal-Mart agreeing to carry the Celebrity Death Match soundtrack comes as a surprise considering the "kill your god" lyrics in the lead single from Manson. Perhaps Manson has lost some of his ability to outrage now that he is made of clay. Thanks a lot to: kraw. Small Astonishing Panorama Of The Endtimes Video Details Marilyn Manson's Astonishing Panorama Of The Endtimes claymation video debuted on October 18th after all, just not on MTV that is...

Info On Ordering WITT Single & Past NIN Singles Deleted The Weathermen Records wrote us yesterday to explain the confusion behind the We're In This Together single release. The Weathermen explained the original double CD for the WITT single was cancelled which then the triple pack came on file. Anyone who ordered the single from them will receive the full three parts unless they again are told otherwise. With Nothing Interscope releases tend to change all the time, we saw this happen with a lot of the Marilyn Manson Cd singles, we saw this with the NIN CLOSURE video 3 days before the release. While we wish we knew everything about the releases things tend to change at the last moment. In related news, we have now confirmed with the Southwest office of Universal Music that the following NINE INCH NAILS cd's have been deleted from further production: MARCH OF THE PIGS U.S. SINGLE FURTHER DOWN THE SPIRAL U.S. SINGLE THE PERFECT DRUG IMPORT SINGLE. "We have not confirmed but it is believed that PERFECT DRUG u.s. has also been deleted," says Weathermen Records. You will probably see these in your local cd store for a while maybe even in excess. What this means is that if your record store tries to reorder after they sell out they will not be able to. The Weathermen currently carries March of the Pigs and Further down in stock at this time but do not have anymore of the Perfect Drugs. Russian MTV Vote On WITT & Coma White Videos An SLS viewer from Russia wrote us yesterday to say that Russian MTV has a it's own "12 angry viewers" show and last weekend they watched and voted on "We're In This Together" by Nine Inch Nails along with 5 other videos. When the voting took place, NIN received 7 thumbs up, 3 thumbs down and 2 people didn't vote. It was the highest vote after Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" which received all but one thumbs up. Three weeks ago Marilyn Manson's "Coma White" premiered on the show and it received the highest votes, having been picked out the best video of the show. Marilyn Manson's "Coma White" premiered in Russia a week after its official premiere in the US. Russian MTV was the first in Europe to show the video. Thanks a lot to: ZZZombiE.

Nearly 10 minutes into the show they had a segment on soundtracks and how they had literally exploded in the nineties. They featured a short clip (maybe 30 to 45 seconds) of Trent (being the producer of Lost Highway and Natural Born Killers soudtracks) mentioning that he felt that promoting the main songs on the soundtracks sort of cheapens the film. This was said as an opposing thought to puff daddy saying that soundtracks help to sell and popularize the films. The next segment - on music sampling - showed a clip of bowie and trent on the set of I'm Afraid Of Americans with David Bowie responding to the old news about Vanilla Ice sampling from his and Queen's song "Under Pressure." Lollapalooza and Woodstock - This section showed clips of the first Lollapalooza tour with a very short clip of nin on stage. they also played clips from "Head Like A Hole" during this segment. The next segment on explicit lyrics had a large section devoted to manson and his antics. "...the things i do are inteded to piss people off..." - Manson clips from live shows and protestors were shown and a larger portion of a Manson interview with him from anti-christ era.

		Nine Inch Nails In People Magazine The October 25th issue of people ("Is there a Sixth Sense" cover featuring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment) contains a review of The Fragile in the picks and pans on page 48. It features a photo of Trent with a mix with the caption: "Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor's latest dark opus is not for fragile ears." "Returning from a five-year absence, Nine Inch Nails auteur Trent Reznor discovers a sunny pop landscape beyond the once angry seas of the alternative rock he helped mold. As fans know, the anti-pop maestro is a Backstreet boy of a different stripe, and on this much anticipated new double CD, he dwells where the sun rarely shines. With more than 100 minutes of uneasy listening packed into these 23 tracks, Reznor maps an aural universe that is positively hellish -dense with static and all the manner of dissonant and chaotic electronic noise. But Reznor, who sings numbers like "Somewhat Damaged" and "The Wretched" in a voice pinched by anguish, finds freedom from torment in the complex, propulsive polyrhythms, ringing piano chords and wisps of melody that burst like divine light onto the dark sonic mix. -S.D. Bottom Line: Melody Fights for life in a foreboding but brilliantly rendered musical underworld. Thanks a lot to: Hawke, Danny.

For those who don't know Leo has been a nin engineer since the Broken album. The very distinctive walls of the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans have concluded that this must be where NIN is holding the rehearsals with stage and lights. I'm told this is a fairly large venue in New Orleans and holds around 3,000-6,000 seats. The theatre is located right downtown in New Orleans on Canal St, very near the superdome and French Quarter, maybe about 15-20 minutes from Nothing Studios and Trent's garden district home (especially if they take Tchouptilouas to get there). This is also where Thomas's high school graduation was held. Thanks a lot to: stephen hero.

		No WITT Single Our friends over at Weathermen Records have informed us that the overseas "We're In This Together" single has been officially cancelled. I hope to have an explanation why this happened in the next few days. We were told this might happen since it was past due and the track listing would have been out way before now. Unfortunately, some things just don't work out. Send Your Demo Material To Nothing Records & Female Vocalist Call for NIN Good news to all those NIN/Nothing Records fans that speed by Trent Reznor's Garden District Mansion throwing their demo tapes at his front door hoping he might take a quick listen. You now can do it without hurting people because the official Nine Inch Nails website is asking you, if you're interested, to submit your demo tapes too: PO BOX 161095 Cleveland, OH 44116. If you are also interested in submitting material for the female vocalist position Trent has mentioned in the press recently, send your work to: PO BOX 16948 Cleveland, OH 44116 All of your work should contain photos and contact information. All other mail can be sent to: P.O. Box 16681 Cleveland, OH 44116. The site also says that material received that is inappropriate for the specific P.O Box will be discarded. Thanks a lot to: Adam Padron. The Fragile Is The Most Successful Selling NIN Release To Date Even though The Fragile is slowly falling off the Billboard 200 each week, there is a bright side to all of this besides the fact the biggest drop in the history of Billboard 200 was when NIN fell from No. 1 to No. 16 last week. A viewer did a quick online search to see how The Fragile sales compare with past NIN releases, referencing such sites as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) which distributes Gold and Platinum awards. The Downward Spiral was released on March 4th, 1994 which debuted at No. 2 and was certified GOLD (500,000 copies sold) on April 21, 1994. A little math will tell you that TDS took 7 weeks to sell 500,000 copies. At this time in 1994, TDS held a position #34 behind such acts as Slayer, Ace of Base, Counting Crows, Candlebox and the Lion King soundtrack. REM's Monster held the #1 position. Currently The Fragile, based on Billboard reports, has sold over 419,000 copies in 3 weeks besting any NIN release to date on its first few opening weeks. If this keeps up, The Fragile will be certified gold next week or the following. Now that is a record to be proud about!! For those who may or may know, Billboard doubles the sales figures for double albums. So when Billboard reports that The Fragile has sold 419,000 copies, technically only about 209,500 copies of the album have been purchased in three weeks. So, when Billboard reports that the Fragile goes "Platinum" only about 500,000 copies will have been sold. However, by the standards Billboard has set, purchasing one double album is equal to 2 copies. So by their standard, the Fragile has sold 419,000 copies anyway. Thanks a lot to: NINXPX for your help. KROQ NIN Contest Winner The Los Angeles based radio station KROQ 106.7 FM has picked their winner(s) to see NIN's first 10 performances in Europe. Congratulations Elizabeth Zarate! Thanks to: reznut.

Trent Reznor Submits Tracks For Quake III A source from inside ID Software, home of our famous first-person shoot 'em up games such as "Doom, Quake and Hexen" informed SeemsLikeSalvation News yesterday that Trent Reznor has submitted 2-3 tracks for "Quake III: Arena." The SLS viewer, who asked to remain nameless, was told this when a fellow co-worker from the software company asked why Nine Inch Nails thanks them in The Fragile booklet. Unfortunately it was announced today that NIN will not be featured on the soundtrack for the video game. Todd Hollenshead, the CEO of ID Software explained: To put this rumor quickly to rest, we don't have any tracks from Nine Inch Nails in the current Q3A soundtrack. Trent spent most of his time this year completing his latest album (you can still call them that, right?), and is now preparing for touring, if he's not already doing it. As far as what is really in the soundtrack, I'm going to wait until it's finalized to go into details, but we have some great music from names many people will recognize." New NIN Single News Update Our source explained that "Into The Void" is in fact the next Nine Inch Nails single. It is currently unknown if this single will be a promotional or a commercial release... we'll keep you updated on the latest. Read yesterday's news headline "Halo 16: New Nine Inch Nails Single" for more information. Guess Who is Engaged? It is with great pleasure to announce on SeemsLikeSalvation News that as of October 1st a certain well-known producer/drummer is engaged to be married next September to the lovely Allstar News editor to live in rock and roll bliss forever thereafter.

Here's the article from the official website: NEW ROCK EDGE ADVENTURES Here's the deal. We call up some of our favourite bands and ask whether they'll be playing anywhere decent in the near future. If they reply with somewhere like "Moose Factory" or "Kirkland Lake" we thank them for their time and hang up. (not that's there's anything particularly wrong with either of those places) If, however, it turns out that they're playing somewhere like Denmark or England or Los Angeles or Mexico, we order up a couple of tickets for the show and book a flight. That's a New Rock Edge Adventure. Listen for your chance to get on the standby list. Then listen to Humble and Fred Monday morning around 7:15. If they announce your name and you phone 'em back at 870-EDGE within 10 minutes and 21 seconds, you win! If you're not listening and you don't hear your name, you lose because all we asked you to do was this one simple thing and even then you wouldn't take the time. Sniff.

The Chimp Channel: Marilyn Manson Skit An SLS viewer wrote us to explain that last night while watching a quirky chimpanzee program called "The Chimp Channel" on TBS at 10:00pm EST. He couldn't help but notice the chimps were impersonating Marilyn Manson! The program features these fuzzy little chimps dressed in cloths talking amongst themselves like everyday people in short skits... but a skit on yesterday's episode featured a chimp with a white painted face dressed like none other than Marilyn Manson and was named after him even. They pretended that Manson was a guest on their chimp talk show, which he even sang lyrics from Manson's "The Dope Show." You'll be able to catch a rerun on Monday, October 18th at 12:05am. I'll put a video clip online ASAP if I get a chance to watch it. Thanks a lot to: Rane80.

He explains it's a totally awesome song. It has a lot of very fast guitar and highly distorted vocals. (please do not send me the live version in mp3 format. I already have it) Manson repeats in his lyrics that you should "kill your god, kill your TV." He also noticed the lyric "this is what you should fear, you are what you should fear" in the song is also from Kinderfeld. Thanks to: James Alliston. A viewer recently came accross a review of a movie about the life of Bob Flanagan. He's the character played in the Happiness in Slavery video. I'm sure you remember him...

		The Fragile Falls Further On The Billboard 200 Nine Inch Nails' The Fragile have been on the Billboard 200 for 3 weeks now. The Fragile debuted at No. 1 on its first week and then dropped to 16 on its second week. Unfortunately it now rests at 25 on its 3rd week with about 70,000 copies sold.

Thanks a lot to: Edd, Iscariot. Halo 16: New Nine Inch Nails Single SeemsLikeSalvation has been informed yet again from one of our reliable sources that the next Nine Inch Nails single will be "Into The Void." Unfortunately it is not confirmed with the people at Nothing Records for they tell me nothing has been picked, but was that said to throw me off the scent? It's been well over 2 months since we first announced "We're In This Together" as the second single. Currently I do not know a release date for Into The Void, but we should know more information about the single in the next few days... Schwarzenegger Movie F/ Closer & David Lynch Mini Series Cancelled Linda Bossa, an SLS viewer, wrote us to say, "A friend of mine saw a screening of the new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, 'End of Days.' He said, Nine Inch Nails Closer is played during a scene where the devil defloures a little girl in front of her parents." Also, the new David Lynch tv series Mulholland Drive has been cancelled by the suits at abc apparently. They thought that it was too strange and violent. (what did they expect from Lynch?) In a recent interview, Lynch said that he had a possible offer from Fox, but that to him, the project was dead. He then added that he felt bad for the actors who put their hearts and souls into the project. So much for the Marilyn Manson cameos... Thanks a lot to: Linda Bossa.

For those of you who dont know...The now defunct Skinny Puppy was a tremendously influential and pioneering electronic/industrial band throughout the 80's and early 90's. Both Reznor and Manson have cited the band as large influences; Trent once admitted that the early versions of "down in it" were intentionally very similar in structure to Skinny Puppy's "dig it". Additionally, Dave "Rave" Ogilvie, who's been working with Trent and Manson for several years now, came into prominence as a producer for skinny puppy. Click the scan on the right for the track listing and other related news. Thanks a lot to: kraw.

The magazine also uses the same image they ran on Trent Reznor on September 27th. "Rock star Trent Reznor, whose new album just reviewed [Music, Sept. 27], is no stranger to the pages of Time. We picked him as one of America's 25 most influential people in our April 21, 1997 cover story. We rote then, "Trent Reznor is...the lord of Industrial, an electronic-music form that...harks back to the dissonance of John Cage...[He] records as Nine Inch Nails, a one-man studio act, and has a thriving touring career as leader of Nine Inch Nails, a quartet that interprets his computerized compositions before wild fans...Reznor's music is filthy, brutish stuff, oozing with aberrant sex, suicidal melancholy and violent misanthropy. But to the depressed, his music, veering away from the heartless core of industrial, proffers pop's perpetual message of hope-or therapeutic Schandenfreude: there is worse pain in the world than yours...Reznor wields the muscular power of Industrial rock, not with frat-boy swagger, but a brooding, self-deprecating intelligence. 'I had no expectations of commercial success,' he says. 'But people "got it." That I didn't expect. '" Thanks a lot to: Hawke. Munich Ticket Scan Brian, an SLS viewer, has submited a scan of his ticket to the Munich Colosseum arena to see NIN perform on November 19th.

Olicon Chart, the most famous general entertainment chart, reads this week (2 weeks) that The Fragile is currently at position 33 from 15 last week. Broadcasting via satellite is the music program called "VIBE (ex MTV Japan)." The "We're In This Together" video aired number 13 (this is the first appearance) on the International Video Countdown from last week, and number 7 on this weeks. In a general (oversea and domestic) video countdown, WITT is currently at number 8 for this week. Nine Inch Nails is October's "The Artist of the Month" on VIBE, but unfortunately they don't plan on running any programs. Commy even called to confirm with the station that this is a fact. Fortunately next week a short program for NIN will broadcast on another music channel which Commy will be writing back with more information soon. The Fragile entered the German charts at position 17. Thanks a lot to: Commy, and to goran. 96x News Eve NIN Concert Update Sky, an SLS viewer, wrote us to explain the web address for the Norfolk Virginia based WROX 96X.1 FM radio station has no information about the Nine Inch Nails New Years Eve concert on their website, but is an avid listener to the station for they play Nine Inch Nails consistently. Sky said the issue with the contest is, the radio station will pair tickets to a supposed show that they are going to give away which includes airfare, hotel, money and tickets to the Nine Inch Nails and the BUSH performances. I hope to have an official statment when WROX writes me back. Check out the radio stations real audio broadcast here. Thanks a lot to: sky. PCXL Include NIN In Possible Link To Contribute Quake III Soundtrack According to the article in PCXL magazine. They say Rage Against The Machine, Trent Reznor and DJ Sasha are all possible artists preparing to contribute soundtrack scores for the Quake III. In my opinion, it's highly unlikely that Trent Reznor would hold his current plans to record a soundtrack for a video game at this point. Thanks a lot to: Adam Padron.

Apparently, they are planning to team up with Marilyn Manson for a string of European festivals next year. 'I met Marilyn Manson last year and he is a very cool guy,' recalls Misfits bassist Jerry Only. 'We both played the Beautiful Monster Festival in Japan and they kept an amusement park open for us. So at nine o'clock at night we got to go on the rollercoaster with Manson and his band, and we had such a great time. 'They were freaking out that they were meeting us, and we were freaking out that we were hanging out with them, so it was really cool. We all said that we should tour together, so we agreed that we will do so in Europe in 2000.' Thanks a lot to: sean 667. Julien Donkey-Boy Poster The scan on the right is a movie called "Julien Donkey-Boy."

You may also recognize their work on the new Wipeout 3 release for PlayStation. Don't forget the official Clint Mansell website features a comments page, which Clint himself will be answering a lot of people's questions about various topics, from from PWEI right up to the present day. If there's a burning question that you've always wanted to ask, then feel free to send it through - obviously they can't guarantee a response every time, but if it's an interesting enough question, the webmasters will do their best to get it answered.

		Warp Records Talks About Nothing Records For the tenth anniversary of Warp Records, they answered 101 of the "best" questions, and one of them concerned Trent and Nothing Records. QUESTION: I was perusing a free copy of Spin magazine a week ago or so, and ran across a review of new Autechre and Squarepusher. I can't remember the exact words, but it started off with something along the lines of "love or hate Trent Reznor, you gotta give him credit for discovering bands like AE and Squarepusher and bringing them to the States." What do you think of a statement like that? It completely ignores Warp, the main muscle is getting this great music to the public... ANSWER: I think Nothing have given us lots of money and people are not stupid, I have never heard a Trent Reznor record. Thanks a lot to: trezin. Copenhagen Ticket Sales & Adelaide Ticket Scan Dave, an SLS viewer, submitted his Big Day Out ticket scan, which this time takes place on February 4th in Adelaide at the RA&HS Showgrounds.

		NIN - The Lost Fragile Tracks UPDATE!! The official Nine Inch Nails website features a new photo taken from Trent Reznor's personal burned copy of NIN material he never released. Trent Reznor told Cruz, WFNX DJ, that he is currently pondering how he's going to release it. So keep your fingers crossed for the future! The words beneath the unreleased material are not readable, because the photographer or webmaster purposely blurred the image. The other burned disc in the photograph reads, "Please Part 2" (a.k.a "appendage") taken from the cassette version off the Fragile and "New Flesh" taken from the triple vinyl version of the Fragile. The image shown is not Trent Reznor's hand writing by the way. Keith Hillebrandt posted in the yellow NIN discussion room today and mentioned the "lost" Fragile tracks "aren't lost or forgotten. It should be the 'yet to be finished fragile tracks." Among all the good nin news. Trent has returned to the states from a "grueling week of doing press in Europe to intense production rehearsals [and] preparing for the tour" he said in the red discussion room. Check out the official NIN discussion boards when you can because you might just run into the whole band chatting with the fans. Thanks a lot to: Jordan, steve, jeremy.

		NIN Fall 26 Positions On The UK Charts According to dotmusic.com The Fragile has unfortunately plummeted in the uk charts from number 10 to number 36. This suggests that the surprisingly high entry of the record in the charts at 10 was never due to a high fan base, but at least a very committed fan base who all rushed out to buy the record on its release. Thanks to: Jeremy. 013 Arena Sold Out The webmaster for the 013 website wrote in to say that the Nine Inch Nails gig at the 013 arena in Tilburg, Netherlands is officially sold out!

		Robin Finck, Danny Lohner & Charlie Clouser Contribute To 'End of Days' Soundtrack The soundtrack to the forthcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger movie "End Of Days" will feature the first new Guns n' Roses song in eight years. Entitled 'Oh My God', Paul Huge, Gary Sunshine and Dave Navarro as well as our favorite live Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck contribute to this track. Finck's part was written by Paul and extensively manipulated by their producer Sean Beaven. Robin was not involved on the writing of the final recording though Axl Rose did participate in the arrangement. All lyrics were written by Axl himself. Additional programming (jack boots, screeching tires, etc.) was by Stuart White. Included as well on the soundtrack is a version of Rob Zombie's "Superbeast," remixed by Nine Inch Nails keyboardist/drummer Charlie Clouser and a first time collaboration with Bluesy hip-hopper Everlast and Nine Inch Nails guitarist Danny Lohner for a track called, "So Long." The pair recorded the track a year ago in New Orleans, according to Corey Wagner, a representative in Everlast's management office, explains Sonicnet News. Wagner, who said "So Long" has a "NIN vibe with an Everlast feel," said Everlast decided to contribute the track "after Geffen and [label president] Jordan Schur came to us with true passion to have it on the soundtrack." The song, initially titled "I Think I'm Gonna Die Today," recently was completed in Los Angeles. For more information about the new GnR song, check out this website that Axl Rose supposedly wrote him self and uploaded the leaked mp3 track to "Oh My God," which hit the radio this weekend. For more information about the other artists contributing to the soundtrack, please check out Sonicnet News for the full article. The soundtrack to 'End Of Days' hits the streets on November 9th, while the movie won't be released domestically 'till November 24th.

Publicity and the Pre-emptive Strike 3. Insanity and Insult 4. The State of Music 5. Girls and Adulthood Alice Cooper Comments On Manson & NIN Brian Schwetz, an SLS viewer, attended a Alice Cooper concert last night in Erie Pennsylvania. While he was there he found a local write-up about Cooper, which he comments on Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor: ...Cooper always made it clear he mixes theater - not reality - with rock and roll. He's closer in spirit to horror-film masters like Sam Raimi, James Whale, and Vincent Price than, say, Marilyn Manson. Cooper doesn't buy the Manson persona. "I love the idea that Marilyn Manson goes, 'I'm Marilyn Manson all the time,' and Alice Cooper is only Alice Cooper on stage. The guy goes shopping for his mother at Sears and Roebuck. How Marilyn Manson is that? If he's really Marilyn Manson, he should live in a mausoleum. I mean, come on. The guy sets himself up to be an absolute disappointment. As soon as the audience sees him any place normal, he's dead, as far as his image [goes]." Cooper finds current bands like Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails too black, too hopeless. "I don't think anyone will ever do [industrial music] better than [Reznor]. It's just that style of music I don't quite understand. It's got such a heartless feel to it. It's very inhuman. It feeds on rage, and it feeds on despair. And that's fine. I don't mind it for two or three songs. Then I want to take it someplace else."... The article was by Dave Richards, a staff writer for the Times Publishing Company in Erie. Thanks a lot to: brian. Flea, Chili Peppers Bassist, Loves The Fragile The official Red Hot Chili Peppers website features a section in which Flea reports from the road.

She finally checked the page out last night and to her surprise, Amenpill is a new band formed by Sebastien Monney, a former member of "Prick" in '98. Sebastien describes Amenpill as, "a dysfunctional relationship between heartfelt human emotions and the ruthless sound of digital distortion." In early 1999, 3 new musicians were recruited into Amenpill to complete the recordings and for upcoming shows later in the year. Amenpill is currently recording their first *demo* which can be found in their audio section. Sebastien Monney does all programming, guitars and keyboards.

Oh yeah, I did some backing vocals one night on a new Nine Inch Nails track ('Starfuckers Inc' which is on the new album) - although calling them backing vocals is a little misleading, as it's more like backing shouting!!

Nine Inch Nails Fall to No. 16 On The Bilboard 200 Nine Inch Nails, The Fragile took a dramatic fall from the top of the charts this week after selling 89,000 copies in its second week falling from No. 1 to No. 16. This is the first album to fall harder than any other #1 album this year. NIN sold about 140,000 fewer copies of The Fragile than the week before. Only if Trent sang lyrics like "I did it all for the nookie, come on, the nookie, come on, so you can take that cookie and stick it in yo, yeah!" he would get more sales. Thanks to: -m7s-, slart, Manson Featured On The Celebrity Deathmatch Soundtrack The previously unreleased Marilyn Manson song, 'Astonishing Panorama Of The End Times' will make its official debut on the Celebrity Deathmatch soundtrack on Tuesday, November 2nd. The first video and single to the soundtrack will also be Manson's "Astonishing..." track. The song will be featured on the deathmatch season finally on Thursday, November 11th; Veteran's Day. The remainder of the tracks are still being finalized but the video for APOTET, which will be rendered in claymation, will debut on MTV's Total Request Live on Monday, October 18th. Apparently Marilyn Manson and MTV must have talked things over the past 3 months because Manson did explain that MTV rejected it for it was too violent for the soundtrack. Below is a quote from Manson about the song rejection in the July 24th issue of Kerrang! Magazine which is found on the official Manson website. "We played a new song in our set, 'Astonishing Panorama Of The End Times'. It was originally written for 'Antichrist Superstar' but we didn't use it on that album- it'll be on the next one. It was actually rejected by MTV because they requested a song to be used for 'Celebrity Deathmatch.' I wrote a song that was directly referring to these events that were happening in America and they thought it was too violent. I thought the fact that a show called 'Celebrity Deathmatch' would say that anything was too violent was very ironic. It made me laugh. It made me realize that I'm still living in the same world as I was 10 years ago when I started to write music." There will be extensive 30-second commercial spots promoting the soundtrack on MTV throughout the months of November and December. The third season for the Celebrity Deathmatch kicks off on Super Bowl Sunday, January 21st 2000 with yet another special half time episode. There are to be 22 new bone-crushing episodes to begin airing on Thursday, February 4th. The celebrity deathmatch soundtrack is a joint venture between MTV and Interscope Records. The executive producer and supervisor on the record is Karyn Rachtman of "Boogie bights," "Bulworth," "Mystery Men" and "Pulp fiction." Thanks a lot to: kraw.

In this issue they review "The Day the World Went Away," along with Mariah Carey's "Heartbreaker" and Foxy Brown's "Na Na Be Like." It's amusing, not too serious, more positive than the other reviews. The review can be found on page 188. Among the comments are "This sounds like Stone Roses," "This would work in a Listerine commercial," and "That was almost a song...What?! I liked it." Thanks to: Luxalien. A rising LA-based hardcore/emo band called Stavesacre is starting to emerge as one of the most innovative rock bands in underground/indie circles. Mark Soloman, the lead singer, talks about the song writing and recording process, and briefly mentions Nine Inch Nails on their official website bio. The inspiration to push themselves harder could not be more apparent on Speakeasy. The songs are sometimes bitterly direct or painfully honest. On top of that, Speakeasy is by far the most sonically pure album Stavesacre has recorded. Utilizing both Amp Farm and ProTools, this is the first Stavesacre album to be recorded entirely on digital equipment. Salomon remarks, "People won't believe this album was recorded digitally. It sounds so good that we are bringing some of the equipment on tour with us. The studio we recorded in has more equipment than Nine Inch Nails or the composers for the film Titanic had for their recordings." Thanks to: the tophus.

NIN Big Day Out Tour Performance Description The article snippet below comes from today's issue of Brisbane's The Courier Mail on page 7. It seems the paper has a quote from a Nine Inch Nails performance description for the Big Day Out festival. Gold Coast festival the Big Day Out will follow up on last year's controversial Marilyn Manson appearance with the man responsible for the shock rocker's success. This year's line-up features hardcore band Nine Inch Nails starring lead singer and Manson producer Trent Reznor, expected to be a worthy successor with a stage show the critics dub "ferocious". "You know there are going to be moments when you'll have no idea what's going to happen next and you'll feel trapped and terrified," reads the description of the NIN performance. "You are going to be exhausted, disgusted, frustrated, scared and deeply, darkly angry." Check out the official Big Day Out website for more information about this larger than ever festival including other acts such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers fresh with the hit album Californication. Among other attractions include psychedelic Primal Scream, electronic heavyweights Chemical Brothers and Blink 182. Thanks a lot to: Scott.

On the new Gas Giants album, entitled "From Beyond the Back Burner" which is slated for an October 12th release, has a track entitled "I Hope My Kids Like Marilyn Manson." A free download of the song is available here at CDnow. The song is your basic cookie-cutter pop crap. The lead singer of the group is the former front man from Gin Blossoms. The song is basically saying the world is crap now and that he hopes his kids like Manson because the way the world is going, that's what they'll be listening to in the future. Thanks to: omike015. Japanese Chart Action Commy over at The Perfect Drug website wrote us this morning to explain the latest news concerning the chart action in Japan for Nine Inch Nails.

Then in a sarcastic manner Fred said, "Hey, I wonder if nine inch nails could get anyone to jump?" This comment may be in result to what Trent Reznor said about Fred Durst in the October 14th Rollingstone cover issue, now on stands, since Durst did say to K-Rock DJ, Raz, this evening that he was annoyed with the comment Trent Reznor said towards him and that he never did anything to him. Trent Reznor is quoted in the Rollingstone cover story, "I like the challenges of flirting with the mainstream. I think we can do it honestly. Let Fred Durst surf a piece of plywood up my ass."

Bowie Discusses the Ziggy/Manson Glam Era In the November issue of SPIN magazine is a Bowie interview which he chats about his age 52, his 20th album and a bit a more about Trent Reznor as well as Marilyn Manson. Q: What do you think of this era's grand rock conceptualist, Marilyn Manson? His glam incarnation owed more than a slight debt to you. Except the breasts. A: I don't mind him. But I do find him incredibly American in his approach to what I was doing. Very purist. What I did was far more open-ended. You could take on what Ziggy was about and completely make it your own. What Manson does is a strong statement, but a singular one and not very interesting. I would say Trent Reznor has more longevity. He'll be around for a very long time. Thanks to: U5ELE55.

		Bowie Comments On Trent and The Fragile Addicted To Noise/SonicNet recently interviewed David Bowie which he comments a bit about Trent Reznor's personality and congratulates him on his new work at the end of the interview... while you're there check out some audio/video of his work in real audio format. Addicted To Noise: In a recent interview, Trent Reznor was talking about the "I'm Afraid of Americans" video and how he was obsessed with "Taxi Driver" at the time. I was curious if you knew that and that his paranoia was driving him at the time. Bowie: Oh yeah. I've always told him he looks like he has a DeNiro thing. And he's working on that quite broadly at the moment, isn't he? It's the new handsome Trent. He looks good [laughs]. Addicted To Noise: Have you heard the new [Nine Inch Nails] record? Bowie: Yeah, I like it. I think he's really out there to become one of the most challenging artists. I think he's tremendous, absolutely tremendous. I suspect that he'll be around for a very, very long time, unlike some. He's not a temporary figure. He's a very sound, well-rounded, musical person. He's an accomplished musician. He's adventurous, he likes challenges and I think we'll see a lot of him for a long time to come. Thanks a lot to: austin.

And we will work together on a [side] project called Tapeworm," Patrick said. Thanks a lot to: aadalman.
