I'm not big on U2 *hides from r00* so I haven't heard the song before now. And ya... Its meh... Not bad, not great. Meh. (Hell I didn't know Sunday Bloody Sunday was a cover on Saul's album... Until after Theo said it was.)

Hopefully he avoids further U2 covers.

[r00]

You guys are crazy.  I finally got my copy and am listening to it now.  I like the Zoo Station NIN cover.  Obviously it is owned by the original, but I love the ambiance of it.  It has that infinite guitar thing going that I like so much on "The Beginning of the End"  and The Fragile.

[TPD]

listening to it again, because i figured i'd give it another chance after the dragon tattoo, and it's actually better than i remember

[TPD]

really digging the end and TBOTE vibe you mentioned.
so yeah, sorry about that, trent.


oh, and i prefer his vox to Bono's. :p

[r00]

I suggest checking out the other covers on that album too.  My other favourites are:

Depeche Mode - So Cruel
Gavin Friday - The Fly
The Killers - Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
Glasvegas - Acrobat
Jack White - Love Is Blindness

[kristin]

Jack White - Love Is Blindness

how did i not notice this one? 

[TPD]

lots of big interviews surfacing. really good ones too.
like this one.

here's a snippet:

What’s next is we are putting the finishing touches on a How to Destroy Angels record – Atticus, Mariqueen, and myself. And that’s been something we’ve been working on in the background for the last year and a half. We’re proud of it, it’s been a labor of love, we’ll see what happens. What’s nice about that is it’s a different avenue of expression. I can play a different role, and I’m proud of what we’ve been working on for that. Beyond that, I haven’t taken on any new film work, and I’ve kind of penciled this year in to write for Nine Inch Nails, to see what happens. No promises there, but coming out of two years sitting in a studio working just on film stuff, I’m ready to switch it up a little bit.

[r00]

I kinda hope he doesn't.  I think NIN needs a longer break than 2 years and I really like what he's been doing in the meantime.

[doom]

Yeah, 2 years is hardly a break. There's longer intervals between tool records than that, and even from the fragile to with teeth. I think it was more for a mental refresh than anything else, to say "okay I have no commitment to this project until I WANT to," so I think if he's ready, he's ready. It would be just a bad as putting another soundtrack in the mix too soon, I'm happy he turned down that Abraham Lincoln vampire killer thing, that would have been a bad idea.im pretty intrigued in this new htda release, maybe it will have a gwtdt vibe since the three of them worked on that as well, that cover song they did for it was one of the better songs I've heard from them.

“Many years ago, a young and naive Nine Inch Nails were asked what TV shows they’d be interested in appearing on. As a joke (and likely drunk), they thought of the most absurd choice they could come up with at the time. They were then informed their bluff had been called and were actually booked on said show (thanks again Sioux Z). They hopped in their Honda Civic touring vehicle (hatchback) and travelled many miles to (I think) NJ for the big show. They had a laugh making fun of the people, their fashion choices and hairstyles. Life was good. Years later, the internet is discovered…There’s a moral in there somewhere.” - Trent Reznor

[r00]

that is quite possibly the most awesome thing I have ever seen.  many thanks!  where did you grab this from?  the quality is surprisingly good.

[doom]

well, trent twittered that response to this mysterious video, so naturally i went to reddit to see if i could find it. apparently a big fan payed 100 dollars somewhere to get it.

[r00]

from trent's twitter:
"Come to think of it, Skrillex may indeed owe me some publishing on that hairdo..."

lulz, that was the first thing I thought of too.
