So apparently the tour is kicking off in Europe since the cd is expected to drop in early March. Now I hope those 12 tracks that Trent took five years to record are the best twelve nin songs I ever heard...

oh yeah, incase anyone doesn't know and would like to, this is the final live band lineup:

Trent Reznor (NIN)- Keys, Vox, Guitar
Jeordie White (A Perfect Circle, Manson)- Bass, Guitar
Mike Tempesta (Powerman5000)- Guitar
Alessandro Cortini (Powerman5000)- Keys
Jerome Dillon (NIN) - Drums

\o/

any other scottish doomers fancy going down for the show?

Nope.

WTF, Powerman 5000 and Jeordie White? I guess he lost all his old musicians to other bands due to the fact that he TOOK SO FUCKING LONG.

I'm pretty sure Jeordie White is in just because Manson has Chris Vrenna right now. Fighting like freakin little kids. Robin..he's with Throbing Gristle. I heard Danny was helping with Tool's new album. Well whatever as long as they don't fuck up I don't care.

WOW, it's just like a soap opera! How exciting!

In the fifteen years I've been listening to bands in the vein of NIN, I become more and more convinced that it's the same 8 guys being passed around everywhere.

Do they all have dartboards, or something?

That's pretty much what I said.

Throbbing Gristle? WTF?

I wanted to go to the London shows so bad (being in the UK), but I missed my chance to buy the tickets :(

No surprise there. I read that the tickets sold out in less than 3 hours when the presale started. Tickets are being auctioned on ebay for over $200. Insane.

On another note:

Originally said on theninhotline.net:

Sources who know what's up tell us that Richard Fortus has quit Guns N Roses and joined the once-open position of guitarist with Nine Inch Nails.

Given that former Nine Inch Nails' guitarist Robin Finck was working with Guns n' Roses, this, of course, only makes sense.
