Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor has disowned this weeks reissue of the “original master recordings” of the bands 1989 debut, “Pretty Hate Machine“. Speaking through his Twitter, Reznor urged fans not to purchase the release, labeling it as “a record label bullshit move repackaging the old version…”. A remastered version of the outing that surfaced late last year was officially sanctioned by Reznor.
This band can do no wrong in my book...ever.

I saw him with strapping young lad just before the new black came out. I was close so I watched him. I marveled at how...

Fucking thank you!

BSF is one of those bands where the records have never been able to match their live intensity. Not that their records still aren't damn...

I get more and more stoked on these guys each time I hear them. Their Deathwish Live Series release was awesome. I think this release...

In my personal opinion Stabbing Westward > NIN, therefore, I won’t be purchasing this or anything from NIN.
^^I’m not the biggest NIN fan, but Stabbing Westward? Seriously??
I like Both bands, but saying SW is better than NIN is just an ignorant opinion.
I’m with XdeathburgerX on this one. SW was pretty good but can’t hold a candle to the likes of Ministry or NIN.
Stabbing Westward was a watered down NIN clone, IMO of course.
What a random starting comment.
WHAT?! Darkest Days? Come on… that is a masterpiece. I think I did preface that post with, in my personal opinion. Seriously though, Darkest Days is a phenominal album. To be honest, I find SW’s first 3 albums better than anything NIN did. Again, my opinion.
I wish I could decipher which posts are personal opinions and which are factual in this damn thread.
well-played smartassboiler.
yeah, WTF. Random. How this guy associated Stabbing Westward with NIN is batshit crazy.
Comparing SW to NIN is like comparing a giant turd to Einstein’s brain, IT JUST CAN’T BE DONE!
wait…you wouldn’t buy anything from NIN simply because you like another band that also exists better? that is how it reads…
I love Stabbing Westward, i always have ever since i was a teenager. Then again, I’ve always loved NIN ever since the early early 1990′s. That’s how it should have been said. Both are great bands (Stabbing Westward is now pretty much in the form of the emo alter ego of Chistopher Hall reincarnated into The Dreaming) Who i have seen live and do put on a good show but lets face it… Chris Hall is a woosey crybaby. He whined the stage was upstairs and the food was downstairs… c’mon lol emo much?
not to mention he whined about having to haul the equipment up a flight of stairs and having to tour in a shitty van for The Dreaming… yet i remember him saying in an interview that he wants to do this tour with The Dreaming old school, in a van, small clubs… go figure.
Waste of a thread, ho-ly.
Wasn’t gonna buy that shit anyway.
Although completely random, it wasn’t that crazy of an association. They were both considered “industrial”…. Nevertheless, it was fun. Next time, I’ll associate Bizkit with the Deftones, hahahaa… that would be crazy….
There are a lot of industrial bands, RhiNo. Are you drunk?
go tre-ent, it’s yo birffday.
I guess they’re both pop industrial acts that have as much to do with Depeche Mode as KMFDM (if not more at times). Neither is a real industrial band. Anyway, back on topic. Death to shitty label reissues!
@frog – Agreed all around. Industrial’s one of NIN’s parents, but it jumped the fence and humped a couple chicks called Pop and Rock.
