BTBAM are better (talent-wise) than NIN. You can argue about songwriting, that's all subjective, but you know.

Basically... po0ty somehow got it right...

Yea, I wouldn't say I'm a fan of their music but the stuff like this associated with them is heartwarming.

well comparing the two, it depends on your view of talent, whether its wanking on a guitar for 4 minutes, or actually putting a song together

Yeah Jack White caught some girl having a seizure or something in the middle of "Carolina Drama" and ran off stage to bring her to the medical peepz.

It's a mixture of talent and hardwork. And songwriting DOES equal talent. Oh whoopee, you can hit lots of complex notes, but if it doesnt sound good, its not music.

Trent makes all the music himself, and makes better music than BTBAM.
Quod erat demonstadum, NIN > BTBAM on all levels.
Also, Trent = hero.

No but seriously the guy is awesome. First he releases a classic album (The Downward Spiral). Then he goes and gets the music industry, gives them a major fuck you, and starts to release his own music the way he wants to. Directly to the fans. They can pay what they want, or even get it for free, just because Trent is that awesome. Then a fan is in need of a heart transplant and he posts a letter and suddenly he has 600k at his disposal to help the guy.

Holy shit that is a badass motherfucker. I'm proud to see NIN in July.

Golden toilet seats are really just pushing necessity off a cliff and repeatedly shooting it with a laser cannon before it lands, proceeding to toss several grenades after it in hopes of destroying the remains.

As a professional in the Arts I am dissapointed that Mr. Trent Renzor of the Nine Inch Nails did not make the unselfish gesture of donating the money from his own funds. Surely he could afford it. Making his fan base pay for his "generosity" does not make it as charitable as it could have been.

@ discowitch

Yes, because if Reznor hadn't done anything, this guy would not have got the money needed and would've in essence been screwed. So downplaying Reznor's effort in this is ignorant.

I'm guessing Trent put in a fair share of his own money as well.
