« Last post by Master Ray on August 28, 2026, 10:51:27 PM »Blimey, I just listened to Nine Inch Nails magnum opus 'The Downward Spiral' for the first time in a good long while... what a fuckin' great album it is.

« Last post by Guillaume on August 28, 2026, 08:14:00 PM »Would love to know what songs you skip ?
After something
Arm yourselves and run
Bad harvest
Big blue
Die trying
Do you really want to go there?
Eyes get used to the darkness
God save me
Hard way
La push
Lean back and fall
Nothing dies easy
Paekakariki beach
Prayers flags
Reload
Stormclouds
Stranger
Tomorrow came
Water
...
So, about twenty songs (I haven't counted the B Sides and Lost Songs) out of 200-250 that I find average and that I almost never listen to, means that there is a very large majority of NMA songs that I like!

Yup. The NME was an absolute shitrag of a publication, far more interested in fashionable trends (or trying to create them) than actually focusing on the music itself. I fell for that BS in the early 90s and bought some pretty shitty records that they were raving about before I realised what a load of crap those journalists were peddling. Sounds and Melody Maker were far better... yes, there was a time where there were three weekly publications out there!

For the concert opening for David Bowie in Berlin in 1987, there were 50,000 or 60,000 people, if my memory serves me right.

"Headlights" is still one of my fav NMA songs, for the lyrics and the music, bur unfortunately not often played live these days!
Thanks for posting the link to this show.
Many years ago (1998), Peter Zych posted this performance of Before I get Old / WWTG on his site as mp3.
I haven't heard it for many years and have been on the look-out for it for a long time. So great to hear it again - my favourite performance of this medley.
