I posted 26 times the day the DVD came out. Here you go.
woo hoo dvd!!!!! went out at like 10:30 to get all my stuff. well barnes and nobles didn’t have the dvd…they said they didn’t get the shipment of all their new releases and they’d probably get it tonight, but if i wanted it to go to best buy LOL so i did. but that means i had to spend my own cash on it, and i STILL HAVE THOSE STUPID GIFT CERTIFICATES!!!!!! since i bought the cd yesterday at record theatre…ARG. but i got it at best buy, ended up getting the dts version… like it matters. i just grabbed one LOL. and i got my u2 cd at target. yeah the songs sound so different not on mp3s on my shitty comp speakers. haha. the one song “always” is like, a different version of beautiful day. the guitar and base part of the chorus is the same as beautiful day. it’s rad. anyway…. going to watch dvd now. i promise i wont blog til i watch at least all of the concert….all that hidden stuff is gonna piss me off LOL
ok i lie, i opened the dvd up, and there is this plastic bookmark thing in a pocket of the box (which is left handed also) it explains what the dvd was supposed to achieve and stuff….hehe
dts doesnt work on my tv apparently….cuz there was no sound playing lol. switched to dolby or whatever and yeah now i’m going deaf…i need a new tv…everytime there is like a big guitar or drum sound, my tv goes staticy LOL….ok yeah its really annoying. its funny to watch this and see the insanity of it all, and then think about what an amazing crowd we had for the show in toronto.
wow…the wretched…definite highlight of the dvd so far….my tv stopped being so staticy…maybe it wasnt my tv, maybe it was the dvd….arg. “the mark has been made” ….why am i such a sucker for the instrumentals? i mean this song is so brilliant. and its so fucking great live…lovelovelovelove it. theres some nice shots during that song…robin fink is such a freak. how is he gonna fit in with guns n roses?? and love danny lohner…he’s so great. and trent is so great when he plays guitar…hah. hes so short, and its just so cute. hahah…it’s kinda funny cuz they recorded all the shows and combined them, to watch robin fink’s hair grow….from shaved, to short mohawk, to bald to bigger mohawk etc….hahah. and it’s funny how robin fink can go fall down and knock charlie clouser down, and everything still sounds good… like it was supposed to be that way LOL. wtf…hah…after “complication” u have to switch to disc 2 hhahahah….i guess this is a good time for a lunch break since i’m starving to death.
ive never been a huge fan of “suck” but this performance rocks… i’m biased. i want to hear “last” off broken instead of suck…but yeah, this rocks. i get to have my teenie bopper moment now…. omg trent is so hot during “closer” hahahahah….omg i totally take back what i said to adr last night about my ultimate trent fantasy LOL. the lighting and stuff during “closer” was so rad. i remember being so impressed by it at the show, and yeah, it rocks on here. LOL trent rubbing robin fink’s forehead….lol robin on the ground now. 3 keyboards and 1 guitar during this song…yay smashed keyboard!! trent is gonna get danny electrocuted if he keeps dumping water on him like that. hahh….wow they really did combine a bunch of performances. in the past 30 seconds of “head like a hole” trent has been playing 3 different guitars, and robin’s hair grew…no wonder it took so long to edit this freaking thing…what the hell is that little box thing that charlie plays..he like smacks it around and it makes sounds LOL…he uses it during some song on the first disc, and he’s using it now in “just like you imagined”…another great instrumental lol. OMG IM SORRY another teenie bopper moment…starfuckers, holy shit…hahah.
THEY DIDNT ROLL THE CREDITS DURING HURT!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYY
hurt is so amazing…they keep showing the audience in the front row, and everyone is like singing, eyes closed…this one kid is crying..you can see the power of that song in all the people there…wow.
i wanna work for nothing records. i wanna be rob sheridan…lucky bastard. runs a nin fan site and then gets hired to run nin.com and go on tour with them to record the tour and then make the dvd….and he’s cute too.
trent thanks daisy may….that’s his dog. all together now – awwwwwwww
wow that was so great. i need a new tv now, and surround sound so i can watch it again the way it was intended to be…
i get pissed at trent cuz he takes so goddamn long to do anything, but then it’s always worth the wait in the end. he doesn’t put out shit. and like i said before when i noticed the 3 diff guitars… if him and rob sheridan went through every taped performance to splice together elements from all different ones…wow yeah that’s mighty time consuming and i’d probably have a fit and trash it halfway through lol…and it looks so good too. except for the changes in hair, clothes and guitars u can’t tell that it wasn’t 1 show. and if you don’t pay attention u’d never know lol. so off to find the hidden shit now….
well i found something…. LOL…
disc 2, supplimental content…go left from main menu, then hit enter. then down to main menu, left again, up, enter…it’s one of the trailers for “the fragile” featuring la mer and into the void…let’s see if i can do this again…hah i rock.
the still photo gallery is HUGE… aww trent’s dog…aelkrsldf hot trent in the limo with manson in starfuckers…
hehe my fav moment of the whole dvd is “i’ll be there for you as long as it works for me” in starfuckers…*dies*
omgomg managed to find a performance of “reptile” my fav nin song… er one of them. HOLY SHIT this is so great…i so wish they had played this in our show… omg this song is so great live. awerayhsdflknasrlawe….to remind myself disc 2. title 5, chapter 3.
hfs this is so great. ahhhhhh…ooommmmmmg trent whipsering “please dont hurt me” hahaha
yay for the cheater way to find stuff….title 5 chapter 4….trailer for things falling apart….
chapter 2 and 5 are just blank black screens…nothing is playing…
chapter 6 the manson starfuckers NYC thing…and beautiful people…god it would have been INSANE to be there for this. its cool to see trent just jammin and not singing and stuff…this is so great.
chapter 7 is blank
chapter 8…red…the day the world went away….and like a feather falling over this red/orange background…pictures of nature…half of trents face…nature…trent…covering his face with his hand…orange again. nature again…a snake….trents eyes and top of his head…live shots of the song…back to orange room and feather…
chapter 9 is the fragile trailer i found without doing the cheating thing….
chapter 10 a different fragile trailer featuring “the way out is through” and then trent singing part of it…super short, but rad.ok back to disc 1
can’t get it to be non dts, but title 3 is the alternate angle views for gave up, la mer, the great below, and the mark has been made…which u can get to through the menu…so i guess there isn’t any hidden stuff on disc 1…
back to disc 2 to watch reptile again 🙂
it’s weird that the cd and dvd are both halo 17…i thought the dvd would be halo 18…cuz closure had a different halo number than the downward spiral…
mmm yeah so the dvd is fantastic. it would have been amazing to see it on the IMAX in toronto last week. you can always depend on trent for putting out a quality product does anyone have a suround sound setup in their house, with a dvd player, that will let me come over?!
right so i’ve been asking myself this question the whole time…the dvd was available in dts and dolby…and i bought the dts one, which wont play cuz i dont have dts…and i would think that it would still PLAY but just not sound all spiffified or whatever it’s supposed to be…well ok whatever. the dts version has the dolby option on it tho…. so why have 2 different dvds for sale if both options are on the dts version?….and now i’m reading this article with trent about making the dvd, and he’s like “So we had to make the decision to put just Dolby on one version of the DVD and just DTS on another version.”…..but dolby and dts are on the dts version?!?! and i’m so confused…hah
“A few months ago I started working on new music for Nine Inch Nails and a lot of it was coming out real fast, to the point where it worried me that it must not be that good. So I took a couple of months off. Now I’m going back and looking at things, and it’s exciting. I feel the weight has been lifted from me. So I’m hoping to get the next record out in the next 15 years.” – trent
new rolling stone magazine…
1. it’s amazing how much i DONT look at ads…i’m reading an article blurb in “random notes” and the page next to it is a big full page ad for the U2 cd at target lol.
2. and i thought this quote was super rad….”we don’t have patriotism in England like you do in America. That went out with the First World War – when it was proved to be a load of bollocks” – mick jagger
3. and this is just perfect…”When asked recently why she (britney spears) covered Joan Jett’s “i love rock and roll” on her new album, Britney replied, “because i love pat benetar!”” ROFLMAO
i need a looped mpeg of “i’ll be there for you as long as it works for me” part of the dvd…god…lol.
i could listen to the “still” disc on repeat for the rest of my life
just wanna say… i am so happy. my parents were in the bathroom, i guess my dad was shaving or something cuz he has an interview tomorrow. and so i walk out in the hall and my mom is yelling at him that he has to wear nice shoes, cuz that’s the first thing men look at in an interview. and it was just sorta funny. so i’m just standing there smiling. and my dad is like, why are you smiling. and i’m like… wow, i don’t really know, i just am. so my mom is still saying something about shoes, and again my dad is like, why are you smiling, and i’m like it’s just funny. so then went downstairs to have some nachos, and i put Frasier on. and niles is just sitting on screen, roz is talking to him, and i’m just smiling and niles said something and i laffed, and i’m like I LOVE HIM. my dad is like, just don’t try to be like him. LOL…and i kept laffing at the show cuz it was funny. and i’m like, yes i am so happy right now. my parents arent used to seeing me happy.
i read this review of and all that could have been from rolling stone when i got the issue a few weeks ago. just reread it cuz it appeared on yahoo… yeah, it’s a brilliant review. it totally captures some of the things that i thought about it, and why i love it so much.
“While for most musicians live albums are little more than concert souvenirs or holiday-season cash-ins, that’s not true of Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor has always seen his music as an endless work in progress. Releasing songs, EPs and albums in various versions, he has managed to turn his obsessive refusal to stop tinkering into a compelling aesthetic. What drives him is his inability after the “completion” of any project to see it in any terms other than how far it fell short of his expectations. So, And All That Could Have Been, NIN’s first live album, announces itself in its very title as a disappointment.
Of course, it’s not. Its sixteen songs offer a gripping document of NIN’s mind-blowing 2000 tour in support of The Fragile — a tour that this magazine rightly declared the best of that year………..
Needless to say, Reznor could hardly let it go at that. A limited-edition version of And All That Could Have Been, titled Still, includes an additional disc of songs (“The Fragile,” “The Day the World Went Away”) recorded “live in a deconstructed fashion,” including four new pieces. That disc is well worth seeking out. All the songs are quiet, lyrical and deeply unsettling — persuasive proof, if any is even needed at this point, of the musicality that underlies Reznor’s most ear-shattering work, and of his ability to disturb even at his moments of greatest beauty.”
and as if my day couldn’t get any better (well i could physically feel better but…) U2 is performing at the Grammys!!! yaaaay…when is the show? oh feb 27th…when’s the superbowl?
“still” totally makes me want to start playing piano again…
have i mentioned that headphones are the greatest invention EVER!?!?!?!?!
