It just seems Trent Reznor is really trying to make things special for his hard core NIN fans.  Limited Ed album, free NIN membership, lowering of ticket prices.

The past couple of interviews w/ Rob and Scott, I'm hearing, "we're going to make so much money"  or "i need new sources of income" or "lets get merchandise out to fans to make money".  I realize $$$ are part of the business, but jeez, being a fan since Core through everything STP has done, it would be nice to say we want to get back out to our fans.  Our hardcore fans.  Reconnect and give them something for sticking w/ us through the years.  Its fine to hear about how much $$$ they're going to make, it would be cool follow that up with an acknowledgement to the fans.

Agreed.  We're hearing an awful lot from the band about all the money they are making for doing this.  Not a good thing to advertise.  It makes people think that you're in it for the wrong reasons (rightfully so).

That's why I kind of cringed when I heard Scott asking for $100 million to get back together when they were on Kimmel in that little skit in the beginning. I don't know if it was spur of the moment or if it was scripted, and I realize it supposed to be sarcastic, but it didn't sound right to me. It just added to the feeling that it's all about the money.

Agree. I think they should be a little more low-key on that subject. But, hell, isn't everything ultimately about money?

It's totally about the money. That's all they keep talking about. All of their other projects were flops. Wouldn't you make nice to sell out a bunch of shows over the summer and make a shit ton of money???
Can't say as I blame them but I wouldn't be talking about it.

Even if AoA got promotion, it wouldn't have helped because the album wasn't that good.

Your wrong. AOA would of done just fine if they had more promotion.

They didn't have any hits or songs on the album with hit potential, if they did I would agree, but I just don't see how that album could've been a hit.  With promotion it could have gotten 150k though.

Yeah I hope what ever decision they decide to do works for them and the fans...I hope the album does awesome and debuts at  #1 but since the music industry is shit these days who knows. I know Im going to buy the album when it comes out. I buy bands albums that I support and deserve my money for their musical talents...STP is at the top of that list

it's not really about people buying albums anymore though - i think that's what he means. it used to be that bands went on the road to promote album (cd) sales. now they tour to make money.

hopefully they figure out to promote this electronically.

It seems a lot of bands are abandoning record labels as soon as they can/get the chance.  If a band is popular enough they could likely manage on their own terms.

STP can do it easily... 

Their shows have always sold out in minutes... and I've been to a lot of shows, and there are VERY FEW bands that sell out as STP.  Since bands make so much money from touring, they'd be promoting their albums that way, but then actually making money off the album as well this time around.

It´s good that STP is moving into a new direction... not depending on company records... they could be really succesfull as a touring band, much like Pearl Jam...
