Relaxed camera policy for NIN/JA defined

 

In an effort to allow you to document your experience at the upcoming NIN/JA performances, we will be relaxing our photo/video policy (5/7/09 - 6/12/09 only). Fans will be permitted to bring in their personal cameras, video and audio recorders. This is not not an open door policy for any and all recording devices. Please try to use common sense as we are trying to ensure this experience is great for everyone attending. Don't show up with a television crew and a recording studio.

To be clear: this applies only to the North American NIN/JA tour.

 

Examples:

 

I have a nice SLR camera and lens and I want to shoot photos. YES.

I have a high-quality camcorder and want to record video / audio. YES.

I have a shoulder-mounted broadcast-quality video camera and want to shoot the show. NO.

I have a flash-based audio recorder with a stereo hand-held mic and want to record the show. YES.

I have a full Pro-Tools rig running off a generator and want to record the show. NO.

I don't have any recording devices but I'd kind of like to make out with Ilan. NO (probably).

 

The following guidelines will be enforced.

 

- Photo and video access is granted only for non-commercial private use.

- Photo and video access is limited to areas permitted by type of ticket held.

- NO access to barricade/photo pit.

- NO shoulder mounted video equipment allowed, all cameras must be hand held.

- NO equipment with a dimension longer than 20 inches (including cameras, lenses, etc.)

- NO equipment bags that violate existing venue bag policies (check with venue)

- NO external supports (tripods, monopods, steadicam mounts, mic stands, etc.)

- NO video or audio broadcast equipment (microwave, RF, etc.)

- NO external power equipment

- NO lighting equipment (mounted or secondary)

 

WHEN IN DOUBT, LEAVE IT AT HOME.

 

If you plan to take advantage of this relaxed policy, we recommend that you

do the following...

- Carefully review your equipment to ensure it meets these specs.

- Arrive early for possible security delays.

- If your equipment is so expensive and/or fragile that you'd freak out if something happened to it, leave it behind, we're not responsible.

- Do not interfere with anyone else's enjoyment of the show or create a hazard.

 

We will do our best to make sure venue security staff is aware of our camera policy. However, there are always going to be cases where local security misunderstands and attempts to enforce a stricter camera policy. This is unfortunately one of the hazards of attempting to be considerably more open about recording than most of the concert industry. If a security guard hassles you for equipment that is allowed under our guidelines, please ask him to speak with NIN security about the matter and we will do our best to resolve it.

 

Audio and video recorded at NIN/JA shows is for personal use only, and cannot under any circumstances be sold or used for profit in any way.

Apple Makes NIN Hurt

Posted Mon May 4, 2009 11:21am PDT by Lyndsey Parker

 

Future-thinking, technology-embracing Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor--who left Interscope Records in 2007 and now independently releases music using technologies like BitTorrent--recently further delved into the digital age by creating a new, GPS-enabled iPhone app that allows fans to interact with each other at concerts in real time. It's a pretty cool tool for NIN diehards, sort of like a NIN-specialized Twitter.

 

But the new update of the NIN app seems to have downward-spiraled, so to speak, as it has been rejected by Apple due to "obscene, pornographic, offensive, or defamatory content."

 

Trent just posted this bummer news on Twitter, saying: "Apple rejects the NIN iPhone update because it contains objectionable content. The objectionable content referenced is [the NIN album] The Downward Spiral."

 

Trent also discussed the controversy on the Nine Inch Nails website, likening the situation to one NIN dealt with previously:

 

"I'll voice the same issue I had with Wal-Mart years ago, which is a matter of consistency and hypocrisy. Wal-Mart went on a rampage years ago insisting all music they carry be censored of all profanity and 'clean' versions be made for them to carry. Bands (including Nirvana) tripped over themselves editing out words, changing album art, etc to meet Wal-Mart's standards of decency--because Wal-Mart sells a lot of records. NIN refused, and you'll notice a pretty empty NIN section at any Wal-Mart. My reasoning was this: I can understand if you want the moral posturing of not having any "indecent" material for sale--but you could literally turn around 180 degrees from where the NIN record would be and purchase the film 'Scarface' completely uncensored, or buy a copy of Grand Theft Auto where you can be rewarded for beating up prostitutes. How does that make sense?"

 

Seems like the iPhone has become a pretty hate machine for Trent.

NIN Announce Final (Final) Tour Dates

Nine Inch Nails

July 07, 2009 04:55 PM ET

Evie Nagy, N.Y.

 

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor announced today that the band will play a final "handful of shows" in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles beginning August 22.

 

While NIN originally planned to stop performing in the U.S. for good after the tour with Jane’s Addiction that wrapped June 12, Reznor wrote in a post on the band's website that "the NIN/JA tour felt like we had to rush through sets due to a limited allotted set length and many shows were in daylight - it just didn't feel right to end NIN that way." NIN also has dates scheduled across Europe and Asia through August 15.

 

No dates have been announced for the extended tour, but Reznor did reveal that the New York shows will be at Bowery Ballroom, Webster Hall and Terminal 5, all smaller club venues. The Chicago show will be at the Aragon Ballroom, while Los Angeles stops will include The Wiltern, The Henry Fonda, The Palladium and The Echoplex. Supporting acts will include the Horrors and Mew, and "possible special guests." Reznor also said he intends longer set lists for the shows than were planned for the NIN/JA tour.

 

The post also announced that NIN will be a headline act at Toronto’s Virgin Fest, with dates to be announced shortly.

that's true it doesn't. i'm hoping for more or something that has a vip package so i have a small chance of actually SEEING the show, which has been almost impossible for me for most of the shows i have seen there.

Reznor Tweets NIN Dates

 

Trent Reznor took to Twitter today to announce the dates for the upcoming NIN tour - allegedly their last - and the Chicago dates are August 28 and 29, both shows at the Aragon Ballroom. The NIN.com presale for both dates is July 17 and general on-sale will be July 31. Mew will open both dates.

Gene Simmons was a big influence. I am truly embarrassed to say that now, with what he's become. He's a corny, jive, ridiculous person who embodies everything that I despise in the music industry. It's not about art or even quality, it's all about product for sale. --- Trent Reznor

 

Pretty harsh words. In his defense I don't think Gene pretends to be "an artist" anymore.
