Talk:Nine Inch Nails

New album

On June 24th, 2006 near the end of performing at the Molson Amphitheatre [17] in Toronto, Trent Reznor confirmed there would be a new album released "shortly".

I was at a Nine Inch Nails concert in Irvine, CA on July 7th 2006, and in the middle of the performance before he brought out Peter Murphey of Bauhaus, Trent Reznor said that he will be working on a new album after the concert on July 8th. Since he simply said working, it means a new album will not be released so "shortly" since there's a lot of work for Trent and the others to do from now and the release date.

I suspect we'll see another live DVD before the new album comes out. --Leviathant 72.78.235.126 04:56, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah i also heard about an upcoming DVD release of the With_Teeth tour.

Style/Jerome Dillon

I removed a large chunk of incorrect information from the style section. It had said "Up until Jerome Dillon joined the band, his drum compositions featured repetitive loops, avoiding excessive fills and relying heavily on the snare and kick drums. These simple, but catchy rhythms can be found in songs like "Big Man With a Gun," "Head Like a Hole" and "I Do Not Want This." Jerome Dillon's arrival in the band had a heavy influence on the sound of Nine Inch Nails. His strong usage of tom-tom drums can be heard in songs like "With Teeth," "Home" and during the live breakdown of "The Day the World Went Away.""

I can think of several prominent songs from Broken, The Downward Spiral, and The Fragile which feature both tom-toms and excessive fills. Nothing against Jerome, he makes some cool music, and he certainly helped out in the recording of With Teeth, but to say that NIN didn't use tom-toms or fills before Jerome played with the band is kind of ludicrous. --Leviathant 72.78.235.126 05:08, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

It's especially inaccurate considering that Jerome Dillon had zero influence on the production of Nine Inch Nails' songs. He was a member of the live band, there is not studio band, it's just Trent and his production crew. It says this at the beginning of the article.

Failed GA nomination

While very, very well-written, this article is not quite there for GA. Here's why:

• Too many short, stubby sections. The first three sections should be combined somehow, and the quotes taken out of them, as those big purple quotation marks are kinda distracting.

• In relation to the above, there are too many one sentence or very small paragraphs that should be merged together.

• In the Style section, make sure it's clear who "he" is.

• The list in Discography is pretty much saying the exact same thing the first sentence said. Scrap it.

• Too many wikilinks, especailly in Discography.

• Convert all lists to prose, or incorporate their information into other sections, or scrap them. Include Music videos into the discography section. For the Grammy Awards list, just say "The band was nominated for 9 Grammys, winning only two for (insert name here) and (insert name here)." For the Members list, split it into a subarticle.

• Trivia has to go. Do the same things I suggested for the lists (of course they're already prose). For example, the video game entry could be placed under "Reznor's other works".

• Images:

• All but one of the images need fair use rationales.
• For the infobox image, could you list the band members' names, and from what year they were from?
• Odd how the only constant member of the band doesn't even have his own image in the article.

Good luck. --Dark Kubrick 14:42, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

As for the infobox image, that is from the 2006 tour; all the members there are the current members. Do you mean something on the order of a "from left to right" deal?

Angel

I can't seem to verify this Angel [demo] by NIN (supposedly). It's on quite a few sites and through p2p networks, but is it really a NIN song or just a fake of something else? --Discharger12 20:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Many places, especially lyrics site have listed this song by Vinyl Sun under Nine Inch Nails, probally due to the p2p instances. This is not a NIN song, weather he, Trent Reznor, covered it or not is another debate. --Hoovie

Nah, that's not really debatable. NIN has nothing to do with that song, it was mislabeled on Napster or Kazaa at some point, along with some live performance of the Legend of Zelda, and 'Digital,' which was actually a song called Push Eject by Boom Boom Satellites. --Leviathant 216.158.33.200 14:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
