Subject: Ma non scherziamo...


A proposito di Imola, poiché c'ero anch'io l'anno
scorso mi interesserebbe un parere (...) sul concerto dei MM
visto che a mio parere hanno "spaccato"
mentre a Flo non sono piaciuti neanche un po'.
 
Io c'ero ad Imola.
E se MM ha "spaccato" allora siamo fuori da ogni concezione del mondo terrestre, extraterrestre e penta-dimensionale.
Ringrazio ancora chi mi ha dato i biglietti "omaggio" per quella sera, se li avessi dovuti pagare sarei andato nel "back" ed avrei chiesto allo stronzone il rimborso dei soldi e le sue scuse per aver offeso la musica intesa come arte.
Comunque se sui dischi il cazzone si "salva", live esce fuori tutta la sua mediocrità canora.

Subject: nine inch nails?


SCUSATE LA DOMANDA, MA...
QUALCUNO SA DIRMI SE "NINE INCH NAILS" LO SI PUò INTENDERE QUALCOSA CHE NON SIA "UNGHIE DA NOVE POLLICI"?
hO SEMPRE SPERATO CHE NASCONDESSE QUALCHE SIGNIFICATO O QUALCHE RIFERIMENTO CHE FRANCAMENTE IGNORO...
VI PREGO, DITEMI CHE TRENT REZNOR QUEL GIORNO NON SI SVEGLIO' CON LA LUNA STORTA E DISSE:
"E PERCHè NON NINE INCH NAILS?"
 
POCO IMPORTA, MA SAPETE COM'è...LA SPERANZA è L'ULTIMA A MORIRE.
 
pER FAVORE, INDIRIZZATELA A ME LA RISPOSTA(PER MARCO B., A MARCO B. ECC.) COSì LA NOTERò SICURAMENTE...SAPETE, NON SONO UN TIPO MOLTO SVEGLIO.
GRAZIE!
 
DAVVERO SI PARLA DI UN CD ACUSTICO?
SECONDO VOI PROMETTONO BENE QUESTI REMIX IN USCITA?
 
mARCO

Per Marco B.:    ;-)

Innanzitutto mi pare che "nails" in riferimento ai NIN venga spesso (dagli americani) inteso come "chiodi" + che come "unghie", in ogni caso ecco quanto riporta la FAQ:


A:2 "Che cosa significa nine inch nails?"

 Parole di Trent:

   "Non so se tu abbia mai provato a pensare a nomi di band, ma di solito
 pensi di averne uno grandioso, lo riguardi il giorno dopo e lo trovi stupido.
 Ne ho pensati 200 di questi. Nine inch nails passò il test di due settimane,
 faceva una buona impressione stampato e poteva essere abbreviato facilmente.
 Non ha nessun reale significato letterale. Sembra che spaventi. (Nella sua
 miglior voce maschile) Duro e virile! E' una maledizione cercare di trovare
 dei buoni nomi di band."


Per chi chiedeva cosa stessero facendo i nin in questo momento ecco che cosa ha recentemente affermato Charlie Clouser (tratto da The Remix Files):
"So now we're back in New Orleans, where we're editing the video and mixing the audio for the DVD/VHS home video of the American tour last spring (with full 5.1 surround mixes of the music on DVD). Hopefully that will come out this fall/winter/spring."



Ed ora tratto dallo stesso sito vi riporto una raccolta delle voci riguardanti il progetto Tapeworm:


Speciale Tapeworm:

TAPEWORM is a Nine Inch Nails studio side-project initiated in '95.

The driving forces behind TAPEWORM are Charlie Clouser and Danny Lohner, who will have more musical freedom in this project; the exact role of Trent Reznor remains unclear (producer? singer?).

TAPEWORM is rumored to have an "industrial" sound: "TAPEWORM music is electronic with big guitars, beats and melodic yet aggressive vocals," says Danny Lohner.

In addition of the NIN camp (Sean Beavan, Dave "Rave Olgivie...), TAPEWORM should also feature many famous guests: Maynard James Keenan (TOOL / A PERFECT CIRCLE), Phil Anselmo (PANTERA), Page Hamilton (HELMET), and some unconfirmed artists such as Billy Howerdel (A PERFECT CIRCLE), Kevin Mac Mahon (PRICK), Scott Putesky - a.k.a. "Daisy Berkowitz"- (ex- MARILYN MANSON / JACK OFF JILL) Richard Patrick (FILTER), Tommy Victor (PRONG), Rob Zombie (WHITE ZOMBIE), Chris Randall (SISTER MACHINE GUN), Tod A. (COP SHOOT COP / FIREWATER), Perry Farrel (PORNO FOR PYROS), Jared (CHEMLAB), etc...

A Nine Inch Nails fan attended the NIN private dress rehearsals in Los Angeles on the 04-03-00 and he had the chance to converse with Danny Lohner after the show. According to him, Danny told him that "he even wanted Dave Gahan (DEPECHE MODE) to work with them on TAPEWORM." (Unconfirmed rumor)....

The latest rumors announces the TAPEWORM album for 2000 / 2001. No information if it will be released on "Nothing Records" or not. Trent Reznor confirmed a release date by mid-2000 during his MTV / YAHOO! online chat (Dec. 21, 1999).

Jerome Dillon (NIN drummer) confirmed that he will probably NOT be participating to TAPEWORM, because the tracks are already finished for most part (Official NIN forum, Sun Jan-16-00 8:07 AM EST, Yellow room).

Charlie Clouser explained in "Kerrang!" (Dec. 11, 1999 issue, with T. Reznor on the front cover) that we'll probably hear TAPEWORM within the next 12 months. The TAPEWORM songs might appear on the B-side to a Nothing Records release, or on a movie soundtrack.

In an interview with "Allstar" correspondent Murray Engleheart (dated Jan. 03, 2000), Charlie added that he's spending his spare time on TAPEWORM, instead of remixing other artist's tracks, "because every time I would be doing a remix, Danny [Lohner] would hear it through the wall and come in and give me shit and say, 'What the hell are you doing that for? You should be working on the TAPEWORM shit that's in your computer waiting for you to mix it!' So I've had enough of the damn guilt trips and I'm only working on TAPEWORM for the next few months."

Danny Lohner revealed in the "Kerrang!" magazine that they have three tracks completed, along with a clutch of instrumentals.

C. Clouser and P. Hamilton went back in studio together in February 2000. They recorded several tracks meant for P. Hamilton solo album and also for the TAPEWORM project.


Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails)
= "I also finally finished a good mix of the Tapeworm song with Maynard and Trent, and I'm hoping to use this time to move that project forward with some other singers, since we may not tour again until after Christmas; but we may go out before then if we can get it together in time." ("The Remix Files" September '00)

Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "It looks like we may be in New Orleans for August and September or parts thereof. Also Maynard is writing vocals for another track that Danny and I did. I almost finished the first Maynard song, but not quite. That will have to wait until New Orleans also." ("The Remix Files" June '00)

Maynard James Keenan (A Perfect Circle / Tool) = "That's another thing that's buried on a computer somewhere. It's like the sasquatch or something, it's rumoured to exist. Every now and then a farmer in Nebraska will spot a riff or a melody....." ("Kerrang!" April '00)

Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "I'll let you be the first to have a tidbit of info: I just finished a week of working here at my studio in New Orleans with Page Hamilton (Helmet) on a few new songs, three or four of which will probably be on his next album, and four or five of which will be TapeWorm songs. This is the second time we've done this; we were writing new material as well as polishing things from our first writing session last year. There are a few very heavy songs with Helmet-style guitar married to hype programmed beats, as well as some ambient-ish dark songs with no drums, and even a fast four-on-the-floor track with lots of dark tones." ("The Remix Files" March '00)

Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "Well, I think that Trent's original idea for the TAPEWORM project was that we all made some stuff together which doesn't fall into NIN criteria. We also added a few things that do not immediately sound like NINE INCH NAILS, but they expand boundaries without destroying the very strong identity that he's (Trent) created over the years. As we were trying to create some ideas for the last record Danny and I created rhythm, bass and drum patterns, that were good and we wanted to work on them though they didn't seem right for a NIN record right away, so we tried to find a framework, that would allow us to work with different people like Maynard from TOOL, and Phil Anselmo from PANTERA. We already got a few demos recorded that are somewhat different from "The Fragile", but they also don't detract the image that Trent had created for NIN over the years." ("Makakofonia" '99)

Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "One song complete and recorded. (Maynard from TOOL, and Trent singing) Three others demo'd and partially recorded (with Phil Anselmo and Page Hamilton, among others). Nine or ten promising tracks in the pile. But quite busy with band rehearsals right now. Hopefully finish more songs winter spring. (?)" (Official Nin Forum, '99)

Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) = "The idea behind it was - a couple of members of my band, Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser - it started as kind of a dumping ground for ideas they might have that weren't right for NINE INCH NAILS, and it's kind of evolved into having its own identity where tentatively I'm more the singer/producer and they're wiring the music. It's more of a collaborative thing. (...) I want those guys to contribute things and once in a while I'll come up with something that I think is cool, but it's not the giant leap. Like, if I think the NINE INCH NAILS record has to be all dobro and Jew's harp, then it has to be that. But maybe I'll write a cool fuckin' riff that isn't right for whatever new artistic plateau I'm hoping for NINE INCH NAILS, and if I establish this other ground as a place to relax and have fun and maybe make even better music, that's what TAPEWORM initially was." ("Raygun" '97).

Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) = "TAPEWORM is something we had talked about for the longest time, but it got lost when I was doing "The Fragile". Today, it regains shape; there are some loan certificates. The starting point of TAPEWORM, it is a democracy between the members of NIN, Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser in particular. We want to do something of rather obvious, fun, without pressure, of the good aggressive music, which would not tally with NINE INCH NAILS, less considered, more spontaneous. It is a project really for the fun. We want to work with various singers for this disc: Maynard of TOOL and Phil of PANTERA - I am fan of PANTERA! It is a good mean of escaping the constant pressure that there is with NINE INCH NAILS. (TAPEWORM will be) more "in your face" than NINE INCH NAILS, something you can listen very loud in your car ! (...) In terms of recording, it is currently our priority. But there is the NIN tour; therefore I do not know too much when one will start to it. I think nevertheless that that should be available to spring 2000." ("Hard Rock" '99)

Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails) = "We did some really heavy NIN-meets-PANTERA stuff with Phil Anselmo. We also did some mellow Pink Floyd 'The Wall'-type songs with him where he actually sings. The stuff we did with Maynard [James Keenan from TOOL] has very psychedelic, groove-oriented verses and anthemic choruses. TAPEWORM's music is electronic with big guitars, beats and melodic yet aggressive vocals. It's something that Trent will bring up every couple of weeks - and every couple of months we'll do some work on it." ("Kerrang!", '99)

Tommy Victor (Prong) = "I don't know how far that's going to go. They had a whole bunch of loops and drum program stuff for me to jam on top of. I think (Charlie Clouser)'s going to pile it all into the computer, and he'll see if he's going to use any Tommy Victor stuff on it. I'm pretty confident that a lot of the shit I came up with in the week I was down there working on it - some of it's pretty keepable." ("Rocknet" '97)
