Judging by recent pictures, I want to mention that Nine Inch Nails are now changing names to Los Nueve Inch Nails




/I mean, WTF?

"Nine Inch Nails and Stone Temple Pilots were worried about our confetti getting on their little guitar setups.
"I'm just like, 'Who gives a f**k?'"
============================================

Well then, perhaps you wouldn't mind cleaning that crap out of "their little guitar setups".

If I were their guitar tech, I'd be UBER PISSED.

That crap would be in all the pedals, the cooling fans, in hard to reach places underneath the strings, etc.

Also, the dye in that stuff isn't very good, and if it gets wet, will stain finishes.

That's one cheap ass, low class, douche style bag way of attempting to upstage someone.

They end up having to perform with the audience constantly reminded of your cheesey effect.

If you don't give a f**k so much, how's about they go out before your set, and spray paint NIN, on "your little drum set up"?

Well, sounds like they struck a nerve with you.

Lips shouldn't be playing with those wankers anyway.

How the fark do you spend $3000 on confetti? Did they shred a bunch of singles or something?

As logic stands you couldn't shoot enough confetti
to gum up a guitar stand
But logic broke as we launched the stuff
Around the equipment

I was a jerk - you and me were never meant

HappyHarryHardOn: Judging by recent pictures, I want to mention that Nine Inch Nails are now changing names to Los Nueve Inch Nails

/I mean, WTF?



I'm pretty sure those pics are a couple years old. Why are they just now getting public attention.

Flaming Lips was one of the most fun and enjoyable shows I've seen.

And I can't actually imagine a Flaming Lips show without the confetti.

And Wayne Coyne is farking awesome.

TommyymmoT: That's one cheap ass, low class, douche style bag way of attempting to upstage someone.

They do it every show, it's part of the act.

i got them few days ago from this Nerve article, who seem to think those are new, but im noticing now in the talkbacks someone is saying the same thing you are

Really, make fun of it all you want, but the bottom line, is that they dissed the other bands on the bill.

Also, it probably did cost the other bands money. $3k worth of confetti, is alot of confetti, and the stuff really does have to be cleaned out of everything. There are amps, computers, moving lights (some are $8k or more each) etc, that all have cooling fans sucking that stuff in.

If you disagree with that, take a pound or so of real (the very lightweight stuff) confetti, and toss it into the cooling fan on your computer, and let me know how it goes.

I was at an outdoor rock music festival once where Flipp showered the audience with pillow feathers. They ripped open pillows on stage and even had a helicopter fly over the crowd dropping bag after bag of feathers. It got so bad that later on when Sevendust was performing the feathers started flying up as people were jumping up and down. I almost choked to death.

Oh cry me a farking river about confetti in MOTHERfarkING ROCK AND ROLL.

And, since you've obviously never even seen a Flaming Lips show, shut the fark up about "cheesy" effect. Wayne Coyne has more talent in his left nut than farking goddamned worthless Stone Temple Pilots and perpetual-14 year old Trent Reznor. TYhey should THANK the Flaming Lips for being willing to perform on ANY lineup featuring them.

Hey man, everyone always says it's just a small piece of confetti, but what will they be saying the day that small piece of confetti lodges itself in the converter, causes an electrical short, catches fire, lights the nearby bottle of Jack on fire which then melts the amp wiring, which creates another electrical fire, resulting in the entire area going up in flames as 2,000 people die and another 1,000 are sent to the hospital with toxic smoke inhalation.

They won't be thinking of the guitars then, but they should've been thinking of them beforehand.

Those pics are from either '05 or '06. Notice how Aaron North and Twiggy Ramirez are part of Trent's line up. The tall guy with the white shirt and blue glasses could be Jerome Dillon, in which case those pics would be from Hallowe'en '05, before Dillon quit.

The Flamind Lips don't deserve to be in the same building as NIN or STP.

This. And also, I think it's childish and low class when anybody on the Internet throws in the word "little" to dismiss somebody else's point of view. Make yourself look like the big man by belittling others. Amateurish tactic.

I'm pretty sure NIN's stage setup isn't little.

Wow, did you hold your lighter up in the air with one hand when you typed that?

IT'S MOTHERFARKIN ROCK AND ROLL MAN!

FARKIN ROCK AND ROLLLLL!!!!!

Get over it.

It's an industry. Just another industry, and like any other business, there are certain ways of treating others who work in that business, and certain ways of conducting yourself.
They know that. That's why they've been around for as long as they've been.

I have a feeling that all involved, have been friends for years. I've been in that business since the mid 70s, and worked quite a few Lips shows in the 80s (back when your mom wouldn't let you out by yourself), and they seemed like most of the other bands out there. Hard working, dedicated, and for the most part, polite.

They probably are all laughing about it, but it's still costing them money, but they don't care, because compared to all the shows they did at absolute sh*tholes, for just enough gas money to make it to the next place, it's all gravy.

At one time, they were probably lucky if they made $3k in 3 months.

This was just another press op.

i assume the $3000 worth of confetti was to make up for the shiattyness of their music?

/they suck.
//if you don't agree you suck too

NiN, like them or not, have achieved legendary status and will still have lots of fans 20 years from now. STP are great and also widely respected, have been for more than a decade and will also hove a long-lasting memory (I'm very biased towards them, so this is me toning it down.) The Flaming Lips, along with most bands these days, will be recognized solely as a brief period of emasculation for rock that will rank up there with the Latin explosion.

With the amount of fake blood that Wayne uses on stage, I'm surprised they're making a fuss about the confetti.

$3k IS a really large amount of stage confetti.

Does anyone know the specifics? Number of canons, capacity, trajectory, etc?
Don't laugh, those are all very real considerations with an effect of that size. It wouldn't be surprising if there were 2 or 3 people on that crew alone.

That stuff is the consistancy of cheap toilet paper.
3 thousand dollars worth, seems like it would put the "popcorn scene" at the end of "Real Genius" to shame.

Then again, you wouldn't believe the options there are.
You can get any color, you can get it custom printed (collectable confetti), different shapes, streamers included, etc.

I could see where metalic confetti would be a MAJOR problem on a stage.

The worst confetti ever though, is the stuff they put in gretting cards.

Ummm, thanks for the card. Yeah, ummm, thanks.

Argoran: With the amount of fake blood that Wayne uses on stage, I'm surprised they're making a fuss about the confetti.

This. Flaming Lips are not only one of the most accessibly experimental bands out there, but their live shows are all about this thing called entertainment/being batshait crazy.

If you decide to play with the you damn well better expect to have problems with confetti, fake blood, etc on set after they leave. Just like you wouldn't expect someone to complain about how the audience can't hear a lone, un-amplified acoustic after a Metallica concert, don't biatch about the FLips stage antics.

Or just let them be the closer with their silly effects. There, everyones happy.

/In High School we did a FLips tribute and threw a few hundred glowsticks into the audience. We also went on stage first. Needless to say, it distracted the following acts a bit, but the audience loved us.

"Brief?" The Flaming Lips put out their first album in '84. Five years before NIN. If any of the bands listed are "brief," it'll be STP.

Seriously, I was the house sound man at a club in 1986, and they played there a couple of times, so I don't know about the whole "brief period" thing.

Though when I think of The Flaming Lips, I think of some movie line by Michael J. Fox, where he says "they know it's not an oasis, but they're so thirsty, that they'll drink the sand".

Their audience was mostly, well we're here, we're drunk, and there's a band.

ENTERTAIN US YOU FREAKS!

TommyymmoT I share your outrage.
Has an opener's monitor tech touch up a mic stand with a rattle can of flat black upwind of our guitar world. Spent the next three hours rubbing black freckles off of vintage instruments and changing all the strings.

Shidiot (his name for the rest of the tour) lived, but was very uncomfortable around the rest of us and couldn't tolerate sudden loud noises for weeks.

Ever run into "Shooz" in your travels?

The Flaming Lips are far superior to both Nine Inch Nails and Stone Temple Pilots. That is all.

I don't spout resumes on public forums, but I've worked for people who don't want to hear about who's fault it is that their very valuable guitar got messed up.

It's like being a nanny. A surrogate parent. There's alot of jobs I've gotten, that I wouldn't have, had I not been the repair guy at a fairly well known vintage guitar shop.

I'm pretty sure Jack Daniels is too low of a proof to be flammable in that situation. Therefore your entire argument is invalid.

Wayne is a dick of colossal proportion. I would love to see him acknowledge another human as an equal.
It would kill his sorry excuse for a soul.

Wayne Coyne is one of the nicest, most generous "rock stars" I've ever met, and the Flaming Lips make some of the most beautiful music and put on THE best live show in the world.

That said, anything that does damage to the musical instruments of Nine Inch Nails and Stone Temple Pilots and prevents them from playing their particular brands of butt-rock is fine by me.

I'm still crackin' up over HotLonelyTeenageGirl's comment.

"And, since you've obviously never even seen a Flaming Lips show, shut the fark up about "cheesy"".

Dude...you were still rubbing your own sh*t on your face, and wondering how to pronounce the word "ma-ma" when I first met up with them.

But hey, that was last year...

The Stone Temple Pilots, they're elegant bachelors
They're foxy to me, are they foxy to you too?

TommyymmoT: Dude...you were still rubbing your own sh*t on your face, and wondering how to pronounce the word "ma-ma" when I first met up with them.

I'm not sure what their shows were like in your day. Probably not very good.

But these days, they have a sh*tload of confetti, and a bunch of other crazy crap. Every show.

destitute college kid: Wayne Coyne is one of the nicest, most generous "rock stars" I've ever met, and the Flaming Lips make some of the most beautiful music and put on THE best live show in the world.

They did a show at the MN State Fair. There was a colossal thunderstorm and flash flooding. The show looked like it was going to be canceled. I saw Wayne on top of a 40-foot tall scaffolding helping squeegee water and just generaly working his ass off to make sure we got a show. It started late, so the [local] opening act didn't get a chance to go on (just Sonic Youth - yeah, this was an odd, in a good way, state fair show).

Anyway he stopped in the middle of their set, took the Lips off the stage and let the local guys play like a half dozen songs and then came back on, because he didn't want them to miss the opportunity.

And know that There Are No Excuses.

Nanny, surrogate parent, asylum orderly, lobby wrangler, tea lady...whatever it takes to get them on stage every night.

I don't think I met you at that fairly well known vintage guitar shop.

Chris Isaac shot about 200 pounds of confetti over the audience at the end of an outdoor concert at a golf resort. Ocean winds carried most of it up the canyon in a big cloud and blanketed the fairways. And then the sprinklers came on and pulped the paper. But left the dye behind. Really pretty.

Translation: The opening act's monitor engineer(not an easy gig), "touched up", a black anodized microphone stand, using a very inexpensive can of spray paint. The resulting errant globs, and mist of spray paint, were carried by the wind, and soiled the very expensive, rare instruments in the area where the guitars are prepared, and presented to the musicians as need be.

Would you like me to translate "monitor beach" as well?

Well then, perhaps you wouldn't mind cleaning that crap out of "their little guitar setups".

If I were their guitar tech, I'd be UBER PISSED.

That crap would be in all the pedals, the cooling fans, in hard to reach places underneath the strings, etc.

Also, the dye in that stuff isn't very good, and if it gets wet, will stain finishes.

That's one cheap ass, low class, douche style bag way of attempting to upstage someone.

They end up having to perform with the audience constantly reminded of your cheesey effect.

If you don't give a f**k so much, how's about they go out before your set, and spray paint NIN, on "your little drum set up"?

The Flaming Lips' live show is pretty awesome the first time you see it. But the second time it's pretty much the same, and starts to get kinda lame. Yoshimi had the best songs but beyond them and a couple Soft Bulletin tracks they're starting to reach KISS-like proportions of the spectacle mattering more than the songs. Still kind of want to see the Christmas on Mars movie though.

Good.
Scott Whineland needs to shut up and get back to killing himself.

The Laughing Kookaburra

Wow. How did you manage to cut your "life partner's" penis out of that shot?

Did a big Xmas club night end of last year, purchased a kilo of confetti....cost about 25USD per kilo.

I swear the stuff can be lethal to all kinds of equipment.....we managed to break the glass washing machine in the club, got some inside our Pioneer decks making the CD's skip, the smoke machine was in danger of setting itself on fire & I spent the next week or so finding confetti everywhere around my house.

Happy times!
