No you don't, Trent Reznor's music isn't anything special, it's not innovative, it's just you standard industrial bullshit dumbed down to appeal to the masses

yes overrated

from what I see, people that love industrial music really don't listen to Nine Inch Nails...

and wtf, how does someone mention Linkin Park in this thread :error

I'd take Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly or KMFDM over both :2 cents:

:thumbsup all bands that so-called "invented" the genre more than that some are trying to credit to Reznor

when people were squealing like pigs to get a free copy of downward spiral before it came out in Hollywood clubs( not a self respecting "standard" citizen would visit) he wasn't ... even after pretty hate machine.

YOU made it popular. Everyone had to get their pussy pierced finally and listen to the harder music around that time ... it finally appealed to the masses, is that his fault ?

Where the fuck are the addicts ?:upsidedow
What is your top ten of music that matters now. I would like to know help:helpme

Ministry is great. I have one of their video's on My Space page.

BOOM!

best show i ever saw was skinny puppy/ministry

Sweet history.....Too Dark Park, headhunter, and KmfdM is doing it again.....

Although I was a sucker for VNV nation afterwards... goth girls always soo yummy.

Pretty Hate Machine its still the best album ever *pending you aren't under 30*

My buddy had backstage passes for them in Toronto *Queens opened* so I tagged along for child hood dreams sake... sneaky turn of events buddy was packing a pound of shrooms for Queens and I took a little bit... *ok maybe more*

First during the queens of the stone press conference... I came to the conclusion that Troy is a Meth Head... but apparently very loudly. In the press conference. LOL bad idea for them since it turned out he was.. so got booted onto their tour bus where I was fed jaeger and drugs.. then somewhere in there I started to rant about trent being a scientologist *he booked 1 of 2 nights in the year where this particular venue was booze free* So the tour guys thought it would be funny to put me backstage again. *I was a little messed up at this point*

During Trent's gig... I started to scream Tom Cruise on Steroids... and other retarded things... the press loved me. Gave the backstage pass to a 17yr old goth kid who thought I was joking... sweating and ranting I told her scientology is not for me. And stormed back onto the tour bus...

Pretty much last thing I remember... not hard to imagine I woke up in jail asking my wife to close the patio door I am freezing.. Surprise!!!!!

I am sure the only moral of this story is the new NIN sucks. And a roided out sober Trent Reznor is lame.

NIN sucks, always has sucked

You clearly know what your talking about.

dumbed down you say...:1orglaugh

great post :thumbsup...... and here's a video for some nostaligia

fuck, embedding disabled.... here is another version of the same song:

I like that tune. even though I couldn't see it. Remember this ?

I do, but I also think Radiohead and Tool are overrated.

I still like the 90s, but they should usually stay there.

bingo. we have a winning post :thumbsup

perhaps to you i say The Slip is *almost* his finest work to date. because it's only 10 songs it fails to trump The Fragile where the soundscapes and scopes are far more vast. to release a new album containing 10 songs where 3 of them rank in his top 12 all time best is really outstanding. (yes, i would love to defend my opinion till the wee hours in the morning ;)

furthermore, the production and editing are excellent.

NIN overrated, Stern a loser i whats kind of world do we live?
