With YEAR ZERO out now, it's important to remember who paved the way for Nine Inch Nails and the likes of he.
That would be Industrial Brits Throbbing Gristle.
They're releasing their first album in 25 years.
W00T!

And there's never a day
To convince people
You can play their game
You can say their name
But you won't convince people..."

Posted: 4/11/07 at 11:25amWhat is it that you're so amazed at in your avatar? Is the Rapture coming? Is Jesus making his second coming in your bedroom, on your very own bedroom ceiling?
You promised me poems. ~Tricky

"Is Jesus making his second coming in your bedroom, on your very own bedroom ceiling?"
SG, did you mean for that to sound the way it did? If so, LOL.
If not, LOL also.

Oh, dear...
I think I may have to put that in my signature.

Actually, I thought the whole thing was pretty funny.
And I would never mock Jesus.

Posted: 4/11/07 at 11:39amPM, you're very fickle with the sigs. An hour ago you were using me, and it never even happened.

Posted: 4/11/07 at 11:47amHow dare you lead me on! I lead my life on BWW typing clever lines in the hope that some day a respectable BWWer will adopt one of them as a signature. This is too much for me to bear!

Not to worry, dearies, I'm using both. They're both so amazingly great that I cannot pass them up!

I got rid of my teeth at a young age because... I'm straight. Teeth are for gay people. That's why fairies come and get them

Not if you like them.
If you really wanna look to NIN's influences look no further than Ministry

Posted: 4/11/07 at 12:11pmI thought about posting a Fugazi thread but I thought it would be ignored...who knew? Ian MacKaye is my kinda dreamboat!

They are sadly "on haitus" with no plans to get back together in the near future. MacKaye is in The Evens with his--boo! hiss!--girlfriend and he still does speaking engagements.
Some of Henry Rollins' spoken word stuff on DVD has priceless MacKaye stories.
Mmmm...Rollins and MacKaye....excuse me a moment.
