[devilinside]

Holy shit it's wrapping around his leg!!!!!!! LMAO!

[White Wrist]

ahahahah.

psycho!

[devilinside]

Ok I was looking at the friends,and I LOL'd!!! He has Buddyhead...that is a company that Aaron co-owns. I have a Buddyhead shirt..

[White Wrist]

LMAO.lmao!

what is buddyhead?

"homophobia is gay" ...what a setence!

[devilinside]

haha It's a record label I think?? I just know I like their tshirts. http://www.merchlackey.com/buddyhead/
They used to have band gossip,but I havent checked lately.

[Subliminal]

haha i want the Homophobia is Gay hoodie!

Ok this is confusing, Whilst we're on the subjecy of things Gay.. On this YouTube Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1k2H2rt7Ts#9eTLbEwtY60

It sayys ''On Watching this video, Take note of Trents long hair, Aarons Hanky (google: handkerchief codes) and Jerome Dillion.''

I googled handkerchief codes and it came up with this.

''    The Hanky Code is a traditional form of
signalling to others what your sexual prefer-
ences and interests are.

    Gay men used this code to communicate
with each other in the noisy and distracting
environment of gay bars.''

''Handkerchief codes. Handkerchief code, more commonly known as hanky code, was a way of indicating, usually among gay people''

http://members.aol.com/OfficerJim/hankycodes.html

^ Then that has the whooole list of gay slang for the hanky code and what it means.

So after all that, My question is, Is the YouTube video poster basically trying to pass insult by saying Aaron is Gay and is using the HankyCode?? Or is Aaron really trying to use the Hanky Code??

To me he's just got a hanky because it looks damn cool and he uses it to signal when he's going to jump into the crowd (like you said Kelly) because he dont want to lose it whilst jumping.

Sorry, I really am talking jibberish haha

[devilinside]

Well,It was and is rumored that he is gay. He constantly makes gay comment's in the band chat. Personally,I think he's Bi. OK,I am putting some of the Spiral Chat's that have gone down on here. If you feel like reading,here ya go. It's REALLY long! Enjoy!

Spiral Chat with Trent, November 15 2005

rob_sheridan> Hey everyone, welcome to the chat.  This doesn't work like a normal chatroom.  Everything
you submit is considered a question for Trent, so it is only sent to the moderators.  You can't see what other
people are typing.  So, try to avoid general chatter messages like "Hello?" or "Hi Trent!"  You can do that in
the regular Spiral chatroom.  We are going to get a lot of questions, so try to only type in serious questions that
you would like Trent to answer.
  Q & A with Trent - Starts @9PM EST
rob_sheridan> Yes, it's okay to start submitting your questions now.
trent_reznor> Hello everyone!
spiralhate: finally!
trent_reznor> Yes, finally.  Bear with us, we're dealing with some advanced technology from the wizards at
MusicToday.

rainlins: Good Evening Trent! Wondering how much you have enjoyed touring this time around compared to
other large tours in the past?
trent_reznor> This has been totally different.  Much better in a lot of ways.  I'm much more focused on the
show than ever before.  Also very aware that the tour is FINITE.  Makes me appreciate it more.

arrafay: Hey Trent, how are you doing this evening? I was one of the unfortunate ones caught up in hurricane
Wilma and I was curious as to if you had any plans or ideas for making up for cancelling the Ft. Lauderdale
venue? I know you won't let us down, so are there any plans in mind for future touring dates? Thanks so much
trent_reznor> Yes we are.

arrafay: Hey Trent, how are you doing this evening? I was one of the unfortunate ones caught up in hurricane
Wilma and I was curious as to if you had any plans or ideas for making up for cancelling the Ft. Lauderdale
venue? I know you won't let us down, so are there any plans in mind for future touring dates? Thanks so much
trent_reznor> Sorry, this software sucks ass.  We just finished routing a new tour today.  We will be touring
North America from mid-Jan through March

jonvincent: I heard that you were willing to do a re-released version of Pretty Hate Machine with extra songs,
but Ryko wouldn't pay for it. What extra songs do you have that are unreleased from that era? Any chance
they can be posted on iTunes or on nin.com for free?
trent_reznor> There are a FEW snippets that are from that era that with the proper motivation could be
developed / finished / mixed.

persephone66: When you started playing piano (5 or 6, right?), was it your choice/desire to play, or was it
something recommended by a family member?  Did you have a traditional piano teacher, or was it more
Suzuki/freeform method?
trent_reznor> It was not my choice, my grandmother made me. Traditional teacher for about 10 years.

Trents1Fan_Ash: Will there ever be another album like Still?? That album rocked
trent_reznor> I'd like that, too.  I'm working on a few things all at once right now.  Some of the stuff is in that
category and I may group it together into a similar-type thing.  NOT the next "proper" NIN record, though.

morethanshapes: I've heard rumors of a soloish piano tour, similar to the performance for reAct. How likely is
this, when might it happen, and can you provide us with any other details? I'm not even sure where my info's
founded... I just remember reading it. Hotline, perhaps?
trent_reznor> Wow - many people have asked me that recently.  I was thinking out loud during an interview
when I mentioned that (never a good idea).  I would LIKE to do that eventually, but it will not be in the next 6
months - my time is filled at the moment with touring and working on the new record.

mkivett: Can you please clarify the situation with Jerome Dillon in regards to the conflicting reports we've
been hearing?
trent_reznor> Here's the truth:  regardless of what he apparently now wants you to believe, we cancelled
several shows due to his heart.  He told me "I have a clean bill of health" and shortly thereafter he spent the
night again in the hospital.  We auditioned drummers to complete the tour - with full disclosure to Jerome.  He
reacted poorly to us finding someone and choosing to finish this current leg of the tour with that person. 
Tempers flared and the decision to permanently replace him was made - by everyone in the band and
management.  Jerome is a great drummer and I truly wish him well - sometimes he just seems to get his facts a
little mixed up.

riot: Who shot/edited the videos projected on the screen durring this tour?
trent_reznor> Andrea Giacobbe did the films we show during ERASER and RWIB.  Rob and I did the effect
on BYIT.  Roy Bennett designed the set, Martin Phillips programmed and designed the look, Alastair Watson
operates and has embellished it as the tour has progressed.

somewhat_: Trent, will you continue doing meet & greets and soundchecks thru next years tour?
trent_reznor> Maybe.  Let me explain.  The condition I demanded in regards to continuing the tour was that I
could have time to work on the new record.  That may eat into soundcheck time for me.  We'll see.  I enjoy
meeting you guys.

pamolive: How do you feel the tour is going so far?  Are you getting worn out, and sick of it at all?  You put
so much into it every show, I can only imagine how tiring it must be.
trent_reznor> All good so far.  The tedium of touring is setting in, and I've formally started working on the
new record to attempt to occupy my mind.

ashesash24: any possibilities of releasing the tour on dvd
trent_reznor> I wanted to film this leg, but there was problems with the record label.  I hope to film the
upcoming tour (which will be announced very soon)

murdertramp: Can you explain the process of the generation of [With Teeth]'s artwork?
trent_reznor> Ask Rob, he's sitting right next to me.

insomnia69: Would you ever consider doing a completely instrumental album?  Or a score as opposed to a
soundtrack for a film?
trent_reznor> Maybe, as long as it didn't mislead people as to what it was.

rayne81: A while back you said that you moved to New Orleans because you could get away from the music
business there. If you retire would you consider moving back to New Orleans?
trent_reznor> Maybe.  I love it there.

fearfeelscarfyou: trent: whats your fav. band right now? What kind of stuff are you into...whaqts your fav.
band overall?
trent_reznor> Right this second, Autolux.  I LOVE their record and really enjoyed getting to see them play
every night.  I still don't know how they do what they do.

mkivett: What are the chances of hearing a studio version of "Non Entity", or other B-Sides/new tracks not on
With Teeth?
trent_reznor> Chances are good.  Patience.

phoenixinflames: I'm sure this question has been asked a million times but is Closure still going to be coming
out on DVD? If so, when can we expect it?
trent_reznor> I've been asking that same question myself.  It's done and waiting on the record label.

jupiterstar1978: You've said that the band will be touring more U.S. markets in early 2006.  Any more news
on that?
trent_reznor> YES.  Coming very soon.

purplecrayon: Actually, when you're writing, do you have mental images that you translate into music, or does
that depend on what you're working on at the time?
trent_reznor> A lot of THE FRAGILE started as visual "places" I'd picture in my mind, then try to "dress the
set" with sound.

Papagolash: The lyrics on the lyrical poster such as "message to no one" "the life you didn't lead" and "the
warning"  will these be songs that we'll eventually see released?
trent_reznor> ?

christopher: By submitting the master tracks of THTF and Only you've done what I've always absolutely
wanted ever since I was splicing NIN tracks together on my dual cassette player. Thanks for thinking of the
fans and what WE truely want. You show this is much more than a job for you. Big ups to NIN.
trent_reznor> Thank you.  I think a lot of bands are lazy.  They follow in line with what they're "supposed" to
do.  I think a lot of shows are lazy.  What does this have to do with what you asked?

jenistan: will you be purchasing manson's new fragrance?
trent_reznor> He's certainly made some things recently that SOUND like shit, has he moved into other senses
as well?

sean_ix: Trent: What's the overall feeling you get after doing the meet & greets at shows? You've obviously
affected many people with your music in very positive ways, what sort of feeling/impression are left with after
hearing people's stories of the influence you've had on their lives?
trent_reznor> What I thought could turn out to be a hassle has been really cool.  If it wasn't for you guys I
wouldn't be able to be doing this, so a sincere thank you from me is due.

funkergirl: trent- with the last release changing so much from the ones before it (fragile mainly) to more of a
straight up rock type of thing- do you think you will continue in the same vein as "with teeth" or switch it up
again?  i've always loved how you can switch things up and still come across as totally confident in what you
are doing.
trent_reznor> It really depends on what FEELS like the right thing to do - what excites me the most.  So far,
the new material is different than... well... different.

spookshow: being at the last show you played "not so pretty now" at (and the 2 after that) i was just wondering
why you stopped playing it? did you just decide that you didn't want to play it anymore? are there any plans to
release this song in the future? (studio version?)
trent_reznor> It will show up somewhere.

immortal2121: trent, how would you say Winnipeg's show went last night, you seemed to hold back a few
smiles when the crowd would drown you out with their singing and cheering.
trent_reznor> I was really surprised!  I didnt know what to expect and the crowd was excellent.  We had a
good show, too.

jadezuki: Live webcasts are obviously very difficult to do, but are something we would all love.  Where do
you see Nine Inch Nails online content moving in the next couple years?  Are webcasts planned?  More
behind-the-scenes footage like we're getting now?  More info content (e.g. setlist archives)?
trent_reznor> Webcasts are coming.  More interactivity is necessary.  This is primitive, but at least it's a start. 
Thanks for bearing with us.

ninlamer: Why no sacd version of with teeth?  I think sacd shines above dvd quality sound, so was just
wondering why one for tds and not with teeth?
trent_reznor> These decisions are made by record companies.  Ask Interscope.  I was told the future of music
is the Dual Disc.  Um... OK.

JayAmari: Trent, will we ever get to hear "And All That Could Have Been", "We're in This Together Now" or
"Sunspots" live?
trent_reznor> Yes, maybe and yes.

Melba: Now that some time has passed. How do you feel about Nothing Records? Do you think you could
have created "The Downward Spiral" or "The Fragile" if you had been directly under Interscope. Would those
albums turned out different?
trent_reznor> Good question.  As far as my own music, I don't think the concept of nothing records has any
impact on the way they sound or the freedom to create them.  As far as running a record company, I have no
interest in this climate.  The business side of the music industry is slimy and sickening.

jadezuki: You've mentioned that the next tour will probably be a two-band bill.  Who is your ideal choice for
the second band?
trent_reznor> Not sure yet.  Someone that I like, respect and could imagine hanging out with.  Probably not
DFA1979.

pixel_pixie: when you are working on a song at what point do you know that you are done,  without adding or
taking away from it by continuing to tinker.
trent_reznor> I used to have a really tough time letting go.  Now I'm learning when it's time to have the
courage to say it's finished.

zupetals: How much of the stage design and production elements are your concepts?
trent_reznor> I'm involved with all aspects.  I hired Roy Bennett to come up with the look, then I get involved
with the integration and particulars.

Taryn: How has sobriety, and a general state of higher fitness, changed the way it feels for you to perform
live?
trent_reznor> Completely different.  Feels much more REAL.  I'm PRESENT, and that's always a better way
to experience something than fucked up.

paintballerdude1: Do you masturbate often?
trent_reznor> constantly.  I am right now.

OmikronDreamer: Whats your opinion of how The Spiral has turned out?
trent_reznor> It's an ongoing process.  I hear lots of people bitching, I hear lots of people grateful.  I'm trying
to do what I can to make it cool for you, and that's a process.

skufti: Will you be returning to Canada after this leg of the tour is over?
trent_reznor> yes.

megmo: So do you like your head shaved better?
trent_reznor> For the moment, yes.   

kqueenkitty: What was the last concert you went to as a spectator?  Do you pick apart the sets/lighting/sound etc. or
just enjoy the show?
trent_reznor> Just saw Kanye West and Dillinger Escape Plan one after the other in the same evening.  Kanye
did a respectable job for a hip-hop artist (who are ALWAYS terrible live) and Dillinger was unbelievable. 
The coolest thing I have seen in a long time.

swampswan: I'd like to see you record will Saul Willams, any chance of that?
trent_reznor> Yes, we've discussed working together on him new record.

crowdream9: how did you like visiting japan?  did you do anything exciting?  what did you buy at akihabara?
trent_reznor> I love Japan.  If the language barrier wasn't so great, I'd consider moving there.

lemonkey: Also, do you remember this chick?  She met you way back in 94 a few times during the Self
Destruct tour.  "Jenny" http://gallery.digitalgod.org/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=1867
trent_reznor> No, doesn't ring a bell.

ManBurning: did you guys make it through the snowstorm alright?
trent_reznor> YES!  We are now enjoying Edmonton.  Goodnight all.

Spiral Chat with The Band, December 08 2005

rob_sheridan: Hello everybody, welcome to the chat. All five band members will be logging on in a few
minutes. To ask a question, simply type it into the box and click [ASK]. When asking a question, please
indicate which of the band members the question is for. Please ONLY ask one question at a time.

rob_sheridan: Also, do NOT type messages like "hello trent," etc. into the submissions box. That simply clogs
things up and makes it more difficult for us to select questions for the band.  

Se7en: Alessandro, Olive Garden or Home Made?  
a_cortini: home made, if it's your mother cooking
Se7en: Jeordie, Which is your favorite of the six star wars films? Favorite Star Wars Game?  
jeordie_white: Empire Strikes Back.
Vampire60: Alisandro- When you hooked up with NIN did you bring your own setup as far as gear goes?
You've brought a diffrent sound to this live version of NIN and it's great! Thanks  
a_cortini: of all the stuff i brought in i kept a line 6 delay pedal....all the rest has been collected during the
rehearsal phase.
lament: Aaron, how long have you been playing guitar and who are some of your major influences? Thank
you. aaron_north: ehhhhhhh... since i was 14... but i'm probably as good now as i was when i was 16 after i
learned how to hold a power chord... influences... ron asheton, syd barrett, greg ginn, pete townshend... i like
porridge.  

kohen: Question for Jeordie - It's evident that the past few years have yielded a lot of change in your life in
MANY aspects - what provoked these changes? Your decision to leave Manson and Co. and move on to APC
and now NIN was obviously a big one.  
jeordie_white: Leaving Manson was a natural progession im my life.  

NineInchSnails: Alessandro: Hey Alessandro. I'm a big fan of not only your synth and instrmental work with
nin but your other band ModWheelMood. I have been listening to them for a couple of months now and I
think the music is really nice and I'm drawn to the sound. Are there any plans to start writing music and or
playing shows with M.W.M. in the near future?  
a_cortini: No thanks.No shows planned, but an album should be out this coming year.  

MeganRae: How did the departure of Alex Carapetis/ addition of Josh Freese come about?  
trent_reznor: Josh is the RIGHT drummer for this band. It took us a while to figure that out, but now we know.
kohen: Question for Jeordie - It's evident that the past few years have yielded a lot of change in your life in
MANY aspects - what provoked these changes? Your decision to leave Manson and Co. and move on to APC
and now NIN was obviously a big one.  
jeordie_white: Without change there is no growth. these chicken fingers are great!!!
DrSatan: Hey guys! Thank You for doing this, my question is." what do some overly obsessive fans do that
totally tick you off?"  
jeordie_white: Ask to take a photo when mt hands are full of luggage and its 8;00 in the morning.rrrrahhhh!  

Impure: Trent, many fans felt that the "Almost Acoustic Christmas"show would not give the band a fair
amount of time for their set, and that the event was overpriced. What was your decision making process to do
that ?  
trent_reznor: show? You can't please everybody.
GOD: hey, im wondering how the band feels about one another, who is the prankster in the band, who is the
quiet one? who uses all the anal lube? do any of you NOT like muffins? who gets freaked out the easiest?  
aaron_north: alessandro is the quietest... only cos he's a foreigner and still doesnt have a good grasp on the
english language, so he can't really communicate with the rest of us... i freak out the easiest when hot gay
studs are hangin out and wanna party and anal penetration is imminent.
HaloThirteen: Hi Jeordie! How's it going? What is your favorite NIN song that you like to play for a
performance?  
jeordie_white: I like playing" Were in this Together"
somewhat_: Josh: Will you still be involved with Nine Inch Nails live after 12_10_2005?  
josh_freese: It's looking like it. I tried getting out of it but looks like they're not letting me get away that easy.
Nah, just kidding....it's great and I'm looking forward to touring with them in the New Year. Those 2 gigs I did
in Oct were fucking great and I was really bummed I couldn't continue on at the time but.....looks like it's
working out in the end and we'll be doing a bunch more stuff anyhow.  

mary_sanfran: Hi Jeordie! At the Santa Cruz show on Tuesday it looked like you were looking for someone in
the crowd - didja find her?::smile  
jeordie_white: it was the singer of the Spin Doctors>and yes i found him  

mallory: Type here Hey Trent, just wondered how you're feeling after such a long time on the road. Also,
thanks for all the photos, footage from the shows etc. Keeps us fans here in Europe included in what's going
on.  
trent_reznor: I'm ready for a break and looking forward to not playing for a little while.  

shagg187: My question would be kinda to everyone. I wanna know that how are the opening bands selected?
Is it something everyone decides, or just something that Mr. Reznor decides... OR is it somewhat related to the
record label giving their recommendations. Like what is the whole process? Also... is there any band in
everyone's mind that they want to be the opening act in the following tour, because I can see that "The
Standard" are already in the list. If so, who? Thank you so much for your time and i wish you a Merry
Christmas In Advance... unless no one really cares  
aaron_north: we dont even really know what any of the bands sound like when they're picked... we just have
their press photos sent and then pick the bands with the hottest dudes in them... or if the dudes just have that
"look"... y'know... like their just down to party and you can tell they're down for turd burgling... then, they're
in.  

Impure: Jeordie, with all the artists you have worked with, I would imagine there is an array of influences you
get with the way you approach each thing you work on. How would you say that working closely with so
many people has influenced you?  
jeordie_white: They all steal my ideas,
sharkdiver: How do you guys avoid getting sick while touring nonstop, when so many of us that go to the
shows get deathly ill just afterwards? Is it something in the water?  
a_cortini: Ask aaron.He is always siiick.
burlesk: Aaron what's your favorite song to play live?  
aaron_north: "with teeth"  

Vampire60: Band - Do you guys play any video games while on the road?  
a_cortini: actually, we play ALL video games while on the road.  

kqueenkitty: are any of you interested in going in studio with Trent to assist him on songs, much like members of
the past have.  
josh_freese: yeah....of course. I actually did work for 3 or 4 days with Trent a few years back on the
"Tapeworm" project and we got alot of great stuff done and we seemed to work well in that capacity. That
stuff didn't end up coming out but I had a great time working with him in the studio and would love to do
more in the future. That is....if he pays a shitload of money.  

lunautilus: In the past, you've been quoted as saying that people should probably not hold you up as a hero
because you've fucked up plenty. What do you think about the idea that you are a good role model because
you've positively influenced thousands of people despite (maybe, sometimes) being a grumpy bastard? You
must admit you have a bit of a knack for taking rather unpleasant emotions and turning them into something
beautiful.  
trent_reznor: Go fuck yourself.  

anjellyka98: Josh, very happy to see you playing last night. You rocked! My question is, how do you feel
when you play with NIN in relations to when you play with other bands?  
josh_freese: Tired!  

everythingiscold: My question is for Aaron North...or Trent in that case. I read that Aaron uses a Fender Twin
Reverb and uses the big cabinet on stage....that's a good amp. What types of pedals and effects does he use?
distortion pedals? etc... especially to get that sound out of a fender twin...  
aaron_north: lots of different stuff... people think the trick to getting a certain distortion sound is what type of
effect pedal you use... it has more to do... at least in my case... with just turning the amp up and letting it break
up naturally... you know, the old fashioned way.  

trent_reznor: (just kidding)  

sharkdiver: Do you guys have a pre show mantra? "Go team" sounds wicked gay, but you get the idea...  
jeordie_white: we sit in complete silence for 4 hours before and after the show.To hear the quiet sound of gas  

sunshinemccloude: Trent-I absolutely love designs of the NIN cds and booklets. How much input do you
usually have on the artwork and visual theme of the album?  
trent_reznor: I have input but I don't do them. Rob Sheridan is responsible as of late.  

anaismorr: Question for Jeordie: You started out as a guitarist for Amboogalard. What inspired to switch to
bass and who are your influences?  
jeordie_white: i switched to bass the day I joined MM.  

anaismorr: Question for Jeordie: You started out as a guitarist for Amboogalard. What inspired to switch to
bass and who are your influences?  
jeordie_white: I was(am) a Metal Head.Many Iron Maiden concerts
Impure: Aaron, you commented early that you really hate it when fans throw their shitty demos up on stage
during shows. Is there any method that you would prefer for fans to try to get you to listen to their shitty
bands?  
aaron_north: yes... if you record a demo and then sit on your hands in your room for the rest of your life,
nobody is going to hear it... quit waiting around for somebody else to "discover" you, and start playing gigs
and putting records out... if nobody wants to put em out, put it out yourself... if nobody will book your band,
book your own shows or put on your own shows... if the music is good, eventually people will start to pay
attention.
Impure: Trent, what is your thought process for picking what songs become singles off of the new album?  
trent_reznor: Picking singles feels like marketing to me. I rely on the label and management to present options
to me. I NEVER listen to the radio unless it's talk, so it's hard for me to imagine what song of mine they'd
play.  

Wild_Thing: Hello gentlemen. Are you excited about playing the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas?  
aaron_north: FUCK YEAH BRAH... FALLOUT BOY IS GONNA BE SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK. SHIT'S GONNA
GO OFFFFFFFF!!!!!  

nosignofheaven: Jeordie, Aaron or Alessandro: was it difficult to learn the NIN catalog at first?  
jeordie_white: It was real hard for arron and ally
Papagolash: Alessandro, what exactly are you doing on the floor during Reptile?  
a_cortini: i am using two delay pedals as samplers, and trigger some weird organ like chords from them that i
have previously sampled off the modular synth.In other words:nothing, really.
brokk: do you guys ever get on stage and just "forget" the lyrics, or the chords, or forget what your doing?  
josh_freese: Yeah....ususally when I'm playing "spot the hot chick with the boyfriend who looks like I could
kick his ass" in the audience routine.
nosignofheaven: Trent: if you could hand pick another "mainstream" act to tour with (like QOTSA) who
would it be?  
trent_reznor: I don't consider QOTSA "mainstream".
Missmacbeth: Jeordie, what has kept you sane these past months of touring?  
jeordie_white: who said I was sane? shopping malls,video games and movies take the edge off.  

marbear: Jeordie, if I was cheese would you spread me?  
jeordie_white: What kind of cheese are we talking about here?im a big fan of rotten dairy products  

fragile: Josh; I am great fan of your druming. In think your work on "The Noose" is brilliant, and the drum
pattern for "The Package" is just wonderful. I'm very happy to se my favorite drumer in my favorite band. Can
you tell us a bit about your new project (with Danny Lohner?), who else are involved? How would you descr  
josh_freese: ibe the sound? thanks......uh......I've been recording w Danny and Wes Borland on and off for a
little bit on what was going to be a Wes solo record but I think they're going to do a band and I'm not sure
what my involvement will be past the recording stage quite yet. I haven't heard anything lately that they've
been working on but last I heard it...it sounded really good.  

anjellyka98: Aaron, you are such an amazing performer. What do you do to keep you energized throught the
tour?  
aaron_north: we sit around all day doing a whole lot of nothing, so when you finally get an hour and a half to
move around, it just kinda happens... performing live is my way of releasing all the stress that accumulates in
day to day life... if i didnt get to play live, i'd probably be knocking out old women and strangling small
children or something.
Impure: Trent, are you happy with the spiral since you launched it?  
trent_reznor: It brings me an immense amount of joy.
B_BooRad: Aaron - why the chicken suit in San Antonio (I believe it was)?  
aaron_north: things get monotonous on the road... its fun to mix things up.  

blueminded: hey aaron,how old were you when you started playing guitar?  
aaron_north: 14  

queenolympias: Jeordie: What NIN song do you hate the most? or just hate to play in concert?  
jeordie_white: I better not answer that question......
robbits: Alessandro, when was the last time you went to Disneyland?  
a_cortini: june 2000 i believe.Wanna go?
Natalie_Kleiner: Jeordie - I picked up 'I Got a Brand New Egg Layin' Machine' are you planning to do more
with Goon Moon? I like it. I must address: We met after a show here in Minneapolis/St.Paul, MN - Thanks to
a surprising pleasure that evening of getting an invitation to join all of you after the show when I was up at the
bar getting a drink. I apologize up front for not knowing who you were. Apparently I don't keep myself
updated on things lately so to say. You put your hand out as I was walking to the bathrooms and said "Hi, I am
Jeordie". I in turn introduced myself. You asked me if I was going to go poop. Then put your arms around me
and started slow dancing. I must say you are lovely. I had a very great feeling around you. Content. I enjoyed
the beautiful company and certainly hope I can be with a  
jeordie_white: ll or any of you again. What?

[devilinside]

Se7en: Josh, How has youre past experiences with Jeordie in APC helped out in NIN? 
josh_freese: We'd already gotten to like 2nd base a few years ago so..... now there's no awkward.....you
know.....who's gonna make the first move thing?
Annemarie: Aaron why did you throw the keyboard? 
aaron_north: cos it fuckin looked at me the WRONG FUCKIN WAY MAN... that's the last time i experiment
with psychedelic hallucenigenic drugs on a show day man. 

guy: Jordie I've lost the masters of my first three albums along with my creativity and ability to write good
music. Any idea where they are? Bri 
jeordie_white: Floating down magazine street?
spookshow_baby: To All: Favourite album of 2005? 
a_cortini: Neil Diamond :12 songs
dinkdope: For arron.... What is your pedal setup on stage? 
aaron_north: i have a "ground control" thingy that controls all of my pedals that are kept in a rack, so that if
water is thrown around or trent throws a mic stand my way or something, one of my favorite 400 dollar pedals
or whatever doesnt get destroyed... then i have a wah pedal, volume pedal, flux capacitor... and then a kill
switch so if i'm not playing during a certain part, my guitar isn't feeding back and making noise, and i can also
tune my guitar.
Impure: Trent, in the new batch of dates I haven't seen anything in California. Are you planning on something
or did we offend you in some way? On that note I formally apologize for Sacramento. 
trent_reznor: We've played about 15 shows (look it up) in CA since March. We've currently played 113 shows
worldwide this tour as of today. How much more do you want?
anaismorr: Hi Jeordie A very big fan here of your work. I really liked I got a Brand new Egg Layin'
Machine. Do you have any future plans with Zach Hill and Chris Goss in doing another Goon Moon record? 
jeordie_white: I plane on puttin some stuff together ion the break.
PlatinumOrgy: Alessandro: Parla Italiano? 
a_cortini: certo.essendo nato in italia ed avendo vissuto la' per 23 anni, penso di poter affermare di avere una
certa dimestichezza con la lingua italiana. 

moonbeam522: Aaron how many years have you been playing to get to the amazing playing level you are at
now? 
aaron_north: ehhh... i've never really practiced... i didn't play guitar when i was younger cos i figured i'd never
be good enough to solo like slash or whatever... i only started to actually play when i discovered punk rock
and realized i could do that too... and part of the punk rock thing was just doing it yourself and playing shows
as soon as you could plug in a guitar... so my style was developed playing for years and years in shitty clubs in
front of 20 people at a time... i sucked for a realllllly long time... and i'm still no yngwie.
50_volt_phantom: Trent, any chance of ever seeing you guys tour with Dillinger Escape Plan? I know Aaron
and Greg from Dillinger know eachother, and the guys in Dillinger all seem to be interested in doing that, it
would be one killer show. trent_reznor: I had the pleasure of seeing them perform in Toronto and it was
fucking AWESOME. With that said, I really wouldn't want to try to follow that... 

void_nz: Josh, Whats your ideal sandwich? 
josh_freese: gum, rubberbands and 8 sided Dn'D dice......on rye
suck: Jeordie? Can we still call you Twiggy since most of us have grown up with that name over the years? 
jeordie_white: I never asked you to stop.Out of context its a bit silly though,dont you think?
jadezuki: Josh Freese - Are you going to continue your extensive studio work, or are you focusing exclusively
on Nine Inch Nails (e.g. new album, remixes, touring)? 
josh_freese: Yeah....I'll continue working with other people when I'm at home. Touring in the new year with
NIN will take me away from that temporarily but whenever I'm home I end up keeping myself busy 

newworldman: to trent/the band have you been invited to the grammy award show and would you play/attend
anyway given your past history of not attending? 
trent_reznor: I'd like to officially say FUCK the grammys. Talk about out of touch. If you want to see why the
record business is collapsing, look no further than the incredible lack of talent and innovation being celebrated
on those lists. The grammys are NOTHING more than a popularity contest under the guise of having some
importance. 

fearfeelscarfyou: Jeordie, are you planning on colaborating more with james iha? 
jeordie_white: I love James Iha hes a good friend and a smart dresser.I think hes a little too busy hanging out
with Ryan Adams and The strokes
spiral94: Trent -- Any more info from Interscope on the release of Closure? 
trent_reznor: I keep bugging, they keep stalling. I don't know.
Dianna: Jeordie, Will you tell everyone whether or not that's actually your MySpace? And, no. I didn't
message you. 
jeordie_white: I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO MY SPACE BEFORE NOR WILL I EVER.WHOM EVER IS
PRETENDING TO BE ME.GET A FUCKING LIFE
Annemarie: Aaron...What other bands do you listen to? 
aaron_north: i like all sorts of stuff... i listen to a lot of old folk stuff... bert jansch, dylan, roky erickson etc
etc... old punk stuff... the damned, stooges, circle jerks, the birthday party... i don't listen to too much
contemporary music.
synthmeister: allesandro.. what kind of gear do you have? what's your favorite synth? 
a_cortini: AKAI samplers,Virus C synths, and Analogue Systems modules and French Connection
controller.The French Connection brings me a pleasure similar to a really intense sexual plateau...
kearneyin2034: What is everyone's favorite Limp Bizkit album? 
jeordie_white: Follow the Leader 

btadc: Question for Trent: This is the first time NIN goes to South America. How was your experience with
the audience and will we see more similar venues in the future down south? Hope you're feeling better... 
trent_reznor: I'm glad we finally got to play there, but I wish we hadn't played festivals in Brazil. Sadly,
festivals usually make it financially feasible to play in some out of the way places, but the experience is sub-
par. Certainly for Brazil this time I felt that was the case. In Argentina however, we had a GREAT crowd and
a great time (our own show).
skufti: josh - you happy to be back? 
josh_freese: Yes, we're all rejoicing. I'm feeling very happy and gay about it. 

anaismorr: Question for Jeordie: If you were offered $1 Billion Dollars to work with Manson again, would
you do it? 
jeordie_white: Money is not what is keeping us from working together
sorcerer6: Hi Jeordie, you're awesome! How do you feel about being a rent-a-guitarist? And who do you like
best, Trent, Maynard, or Marilyn? 
trent_reznor: Trent's the coolest.
void_nz: Alessandro: If you could be a penguin, an otter or a zebra which would you be? 
a_cortini: SEA OTTER FUCK YEAH 

josh_freese: I'd work w Manson for only a half billion dollars. No problem. 
Impure: Alessandro, I noticed you have taken on many tasks other than just keyboards at the shows. Would
you care to explain what those are and how you like multi-tasking? 
a_cortini: multi-tasking is the salt of the earth.
void_nz: Aaron: Do you have any really valuable guitars which were owned by some Guitar God? Do you
collect any or many? 
aaron_north: i don't really go after guitars that were owned by anybody "famous" or anything... but, any guitar
player is probably a compulsive collector... i've always liked the way old hagstrom guitars play... particularly
the models from the early 60's... i have a bunch of those... am always buying more... i like old fenders too...
jazzmasters, jaguars, tele's and such... am even more into old effects pedals... i have a bunch of cool old stuff
like a mosrite "fuzzrite" pedal... fun stuff. none of my music gear collections can rival my gonzo gay hardcore
anal video collection though.
NINman: Hey what happened to Leo? I did'nt see him around at the Denver show. 
trent_reznor: Leo's working full time on a fashion line. Seems to be the thing to do these days.
dauphinesdumaine: alessandro....do you consider yourself a hopeless romantic, or is that stereotyping? 
a_cortini: I FEEL GOOD! 

asharma4: Josh: Favourite drum solo of all time? 
josh_freese: I pretty much don't like drum solos. Unless it's by someone who's never picked up sticks
before.....that would be kinda good. 

tab00: How has the constant touring been for all of you guys? 
a_cortini: great, but tiring.It's going to be good to be home for a while. 

void_nz: Jerodie: Of all of the pervious bands you have played with, which has been the most demanding to
play live? 
jeordie_white: who's jerodie? 

Demoness_Abigor: Aaron: What is your favorite way to get 'psyched' up before a show? 
aaron_north: watching trent disrobe from his street clothes and get into his stage clothes gets me more excited
than anything.
PlatinumOrgy: To Trent: Have you ever been to one of P.Diddy's parties? 
trent_reznor: Of course! However, I try to avoid them because once The Did gets a few drinks in him he starts
hitting on me. Gets really uncomfortable. 

NIN_nurse: Aaron, after smashing all those guitars during this past leg of the tour, how many do you think
you went through? 
aaron_north: i dunno... i've gone through way more boy toys on this tour though.
jadezuki: To any (maybe Trent, Rob, or Alessandro): Excited about OS X on Intel hardware? 
a_cortini: Not yet.I hope i will be when the time comes. 

tenthousandlies: Aaron- are you breaking your own guitars or are they Trent's? 
aaron_north: they're mine
nine_inch_nerd: one important question for me: do you visit europe in 2006 and will there be an arenatour in
europe 2006? 
trent_reznor: We're discussing it now. I don't know but I'd like to.
patchband: Aaron: Favorite candybar? 
aaron_north: heath
pamelas: Alessandro- where in Italy are you from and when was the last time you went home? 
a_cortini: Forli'.I was there last july.
BeautifulLiar: Will fans get a chance to see Perfect Drug live? 
jeordie_white: That would be a question for Josh
PlatinumOrgy: To Aaron North: Is it really true that you like it in the pooper from hunky muscle bound guys? 
aaron_north: is that an offer? 

josh_freese: I don't really do drugs 

josh_freese: But if it was Perfect? I'd have to think about. 

math_robichaud: Question for Trent: which talking heads album is your favorite ? thank you 
trent_reznor: Remain In Light. One of my all-time favorite records I still listen to constantly.
peto: how did you guys like the new depeche mode album? it's kinda funny that 'playing' and 'with teeth' are
opposing each other in 'electronic vs live sounding' thing 
a_cortini: it's a great album.a pleasant surprise.
trent_reznor: Chat's over. Time to start bitching! 

aaron_north: LATER MASTERBATERS 

a_cortini: go get laid now, kids. 

Impure: Josh, with all the artists you have worked with, I would imagine there is an array of influences you get
with the way you approach each thing you work on. How would you say that working closely with so many
people has influenced you? 
josh_freese: It's inspiring to work with so many great artists. It's a fucking trip working w NIN one day and
then someone I grew up loving like Devo or Paul Westerberg the next.
josh_freese: Don't be weird about it.
josh_freese: Everybody Remember! Don't be fucking weird about it!
rob_sheridan: That's it for the chat tonight everybody. There will be a complete transcript up on The Spiral
soon. 

josh_freese: E=mc hammer 2
rob_sheridan: That is, if Josh ever logs off.
josh_freese: never! -
rob_sheridan: Josh. Time to go play drums.
josh_freese: I'm fucking staying here and don't be weird about it!
rob_sheridan: Okay, goodnight everyone.
