I always seem to choose the best time to get into bands and groups, because sooner or later something will happen. Either a band member gets murdered (Pantera/Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell, RIP Brother Dime) or now with NIN, which I'm getting REacquainted with. I first got into Nine Inch Nails back in highschool, when my buddy Matt burned me ten CDs for free. Pretty Hate Machine was one of those albums. It just wasn't enough to hook me...
Then I bought [With Teeth] and thought it was a pretty good album. One of my favorite tracks on Rock Band is The Hand That Feeds. I score fairly high vocally on that song, which is always a nice thing for me.
I head one track of Year Zero, and thought to myself "What happened to Trent?" becuase I just wasn't feeling it like I was THTF. I'm going to pick up YZ later this year though, seeing as I'm on a HUGE kick right now.
The kick started when I downloaded last years album, The Slip, off of the NIN site. I enjoyed the first two tracks, but couldn't get into a song until I landed on "Lights in the Sky" which, three hours later, I had recorded an acoustic cover of. Enjoyable process, and I keep trying to fix my vocals. That's not going to happen, though. I hate my voice...
Anyway, for the last two days I've been doing nothing but listening to the first disc of Ghosts. This is another album I missed last year that I'm thinking I should have picked up.
The irony here, as I had mentioned in the first sentence, is that it looks like I won't be seeing NIN live, in person, any time... soon or ever. The closest shows still happening this year are in Cali. Sometimes I honestly hate fucking living in Oregon... all the good shit passes us by...
Fuck my life...
