NIN.com Gets An Upgrade
The official Nine Inch Nails website has undergone a pretty significant upgrade that now allows users to create online profiles, communicate with one another in official forums and other such fun website-y stuff … and Trent Reznor wants you to know all about it. Here is a pic of Trent backstage at the Red Rocks venue in Colorado last week possibly putting together his new NIN.com online profile and a message from him about the new site developments:
“Welcome to the beginning of the new nin.com! There’s a lot of new stuff here we’ve been working on for quite some time and MUCH more coming over the next few weeks. We’re aiming to create the ultimate community and resource for all things related to nine inch nails. Be sure to register to create your own profile and take full advantage of what’s here – it’s 100% free and will remain that way.
Once you’ve registered and logged in, you can set up your user profile by clicking on your username in the top right of the page. You’ll also have access to our new live chat rooms and our new forums, which are already active and filled with great content and discussion. Here are some useful forum destinations to get you started:
- Introduce yourself in the Community Forum, and please check this message before posting.
- Read what people have been saying about recent shows (and add your own thoughts if you’ve attended) in the Previous Shows Forum, and talk about future shows in the Upcoming Shows Forum.
- View and share photos and video from the Lights In The Sky Tour in this thread.
- Need help? Check the Tech Support Forum.”
Actually, this latest development isn’t the first time that NIN.com has offered interactivity. Up until a few months ago, the site did offer an online community where users could do all of these same things but it was only available to paying members of The Spiral, the official NIN fanclub. In concert with Trent’s new found love of giving things away for free (like the new NIN album The Slip which you can download free of charge HERE), he has decided to give away the online interactivity formerly enjoyed solely by NIN fanclub members for free. And this is why Trent Reznor totally rules. I am VERY excited about this Saturday’s NIN show at The Forum in Inglewood, CA (you have no idea!) … it will be the last show of the first leg of the Lights in the Sky Over North America Tour before the band heads down to South America and Mexico. The band will be coming back to the US for the second leg of the tour … I’m already planning which of those shows I’m gonna try and attend. It’s really great being a NIN fan right now :)
PS: THIS is me.

wow that room he is in is awesome!

I have been in that room! It is where the band goes to hang out after/ before concerts. Red Rocks is the most beatiful venue I have ever seen a concert at. The stage is set below a formation of humongous million year old red rocks on the foothills of the Rocky Mountain’s. Rollings Stones asked several band’s their favorite venue to play at and More bands said Red Rocks than any other venue. Incubus, Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, John Mayer favorite place to play? Red Rocks baby! going to Sound Tribe Sector 9 and Talib Kweli tomorrow night! yeah!
TRENT! if you ever come to Colorado- I’d love to take you to an awesome concert at Red Rocks.

That is one of the coolest rooms I’ve seen. I need to get my NIN account thingie together at some point.
