Sooooooper Frumpy !!!

"We have been busy preparing a much-improved online experience for nin.com, which we will begin to unveil next month. The new nin.com will incorporate much of the interactivity and benefits presently offered on The Spiral, but a paid membership will no longer be required. A free nin.com account will be all that is needed to access the features of the new site, and The Spiral in its current form will no longer remain active. As we get closer to the upgrade, we'll be making more information available to existing Spiral members to better prepare for the transition to the new site.

Ticket pre-sales will still be available on the new site - all nin.com members will have the opportunity to pre-purchase great seats on a per-show basis. Details will be forthcoming with ample time before on-sale dates.

For right now, you can become a nin.com member by registering at remix.nin.com - if you're a Spiral member, your existing username and password will be preserved on the new site, as it is on the remix site.

We're very excited to begin offering a wide range of improved interactivity to all nine inch nails fans, all for free."

Laugh now,but some crazy Spiral fan will murder Trent. Wait and see.....

Well, I'm sure it was the record labels idea to have a paying fan club.

Now that he's not with one, he's doing things on his terms and i think it's fuckin' awesome. I don't see why Spiral members should be angry, He didn't encourage anyone to join before, He tried to make exsclusive stuff free in the past (With Teeth, Year Zero etc) but it was very tightly monitered.

Now he's encouraging everyone to join now because it's free, Rare that any bands do that kinda shit.

There is nothing wrong with change (unless it totally SUCKS) there is everything wrong with bad business, poor communication, and abandonment. (which Trent has done with The Spiral....PAYING fans) Obviously I will continue to verbally chastise tools at this new location (unless it totally SUCKS). The amount of money I cough up for NIN in the future however (and I love NIN) will be determined by how much I think I got sold out.

In actual fact, I think the hurt feelings and egos of paying Spiral members that are being damaged is the more important issue.
NIN said it would be "a truly unique fan experience" and it had a promising start. But what developed was something which in my opinion, was greater than NIN. The
site seems to have endured despite being ignored.

The fact that what has essentially grown, born out of a mutual love for Nine Inch Nails, is being discarded and can be easily replaced-as it is viewed as something trivial and unimportant- rubs ME the wrong way. It is unfortunate that Trent did not feel the connection to the Spiral like we and perhaps he hoped he would. Even if the "new and improved" fan site is acceptable to the masses (which I doubt) this is still the end of something that was a fun, exclusive enough, and special escape for many members.I am allowed to feel sad / mad about it.

It is ironic that Trent professes to basically hate the totalitarian authority of music companies and their business practices, but seems to have emulated their brutal carelessness with diamond like precision. Prove me wrong and I won't feel silly, I will be relieved.
But if anyone thinks that the Spiral member who cares and has made this a place that they can come to vent, chat with friends, talk about the new album, to start shit , or even post perverted pictures on our PRIVATE forum, doesn't have the right to be upset-you are missing the point completely. Being a true fan is not having blind faith in an artist, and no one has to. I've seen it typed a hundred times already "I'm not talking shit about Trent, I'm not saying its his fault, I'm not saying he's a bad guy..." because why? People are concerned about hurting his feelings? Frankly, I don't see that he has cared if he has hurt mine, so I will not be offering the same respect.

Not being up front with the members of your OFFICIAL FAN CLUB is by far the weakest move he has made and continuing to ignore it is only making you him like a bigger asshole.

Time to spam ETS.

the thing about the spiral...was not cool. And i wasn´t a member, but i understand how members feel. Trent was not good for those fans, this time. He should find a way to compensate them.

I agree. I mean,I got what I need I guess out of it (presales and early entrance but no meet and greet),but some members signed up and didn't get anything! It just sucks that he did that,and I think he'll lose a handful of fans for that decision.

well, he already bought the robot suit, soo......

hello! Do u agree that lyrics below are the best ever?  i think they are:



He made the world a grassy road before our bare, wandering feet,
and crushed the stones into the softest sand between our toes,
but we're wondering where to sleep,
clever words on pages turn to fragments, circles, points and lines,
and cover them like carpets, with graceful,
meaningless ornamental designs
Come quick, you light that knows no evening
Come, alone to the alone!
I have a thousand half-loves well worth leaving for to take your madness home,
and you dance inside my chest where no on sees you,
but sometimes I see you
rejoice, the cleansing of my lips
Rejoice, salvation of my soul!
But I still have a thousand half-loves
(Oh my God! I want to shoot myself just thinking about it)
And you think I don't mean what I say?
Well I mean every word I say.
I threw a small stone down at the reflection of my image in the water,
and it altogether disapperared.
I burst, as it shattered through me like a bullet through a bottle,
and I'm expected to believe that any of this is real.
