PODCAST: Episode 719 - Will Nine Inch Nails' Festival Gamble Pay Off · Ghost Cult Magazine Podcast

0:40
None. One more time.
0:53
What's up, everybody? It's your boy Kefi here with
0:56
another ghost cultman.com Weekly ritual.
1:00
Oh no, it's not the weekly ritual.
1:02
I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
1:03
I'm fucking delirious. It's not the weekly ritual.
1:05
It's a plain old live stream. And I'll tell you why, because
1:07
we had some big news today. Owing Guns is here.
1:10
I don't know who's going to show up.
1:11
I'm going on a little bit late. I'm obviously a little bit
1:13
delirious, but already unhinged. OK, cool.
1:19
But yeah, we are doing the thing and I'll tell you why.
1:22
Tomorrow is actually the weekly ritual.
1:25
And a little bit of a service note.
1:27
We are going to be going on a little bit later than usual.
1:32
A little bit earlier than usual tomorrow.
1:34
I should get my shit straight before I start, huh?
1:36
Professional as always. That's your boy Kefi.
1:39
But Eddie Allman is here. What up?
1:40
What up? So we're going to do a live
1:43
stream on the just announced 9 Inch Nails festival.
1:47
I kind of feel like this should have been bigger news today, but
1:50
I think the nature of the announcement caught people off
1:53
guard, Certainly caught me off guard.
1:54
We kind of got an inkling that they were teasing something and
2:01
then it dropped. So we're going to jump right
2:03
into it and talk about it. If you want to talk about it or
2:06
anything, let me know. First things first, I got a
2:12
little deck to pull up here with some cool things that I put
2:16
together. Matt Ledoux is here.
2:19
Hello, Matt. Yo, there it is.
2:23
Where's this guy? Come on.
2:26
Boom. There it is.
2:27
Hey, boom. You're looking for this off the
2:32
hinge, off the hinges already, but we'll do our best.
2:35
We'll do our best. I'm excited about this festival.
2:37
I'm thinking about going to this festival.
2:39
I would like to cover this festival.
2:41
I don't know 100% if they're going to have press at this
2:46
thing. Trent is notoriously not pro
2:52
press, but we have also been lucky enough to cover 9 inch
2:57
nails a few times, so I feel extremely fortunate.
3:01
Anybody who's watching, thanks for being here.
3:03

3:20
And This is why. So 9 Inch Nails announced the
3:22
Future Ruins Festival today, and we're going to talk all about it
3:26
and actually unpack a little bit about why I think this became a
3:30
thing. Goblin DS Rev is here, Ian is
3:32
here, Blaine is here. And I'll welcome some more
3:35
people in as they roll through. But I Yeah, man, First things

6:03
Pretty bad ass lineup if you ask me.
6:06
But we're we're here to talk about 9 Inch Nails.
6:08
And here's a great photo as shot by my partner and the co-owner
6:12
of Ghost Cult mag Omar cordyghostcultmag.com.
6:17
We are your not sucky blabbermouth and we're we're not
6:22
sucky metal sucks. That's what we do as we do here.
6:27
If you like 9 Inch Nails, we're going to talk all about it right
6:29
now. Why on earth did 9 Inch Nails,
6:32
3536 years into a career, start a festival?
6:37
Well, we're going to tell you why.
6:37
They've actually been planning this for quite a while.
6:39
Why? And we're going to talk about it
6:41
right now. So first and foremost, I thought
6:45
this was cool. I'm going to start putting these
6:46
together sometimes for these whenever relevant and timely. 9
6:51
Inch Nails by the numbers. So formed in 1988.
6:55
They have 11 studio albums, not including the expected new
6:59
studio album that is done and we're expecting to hear about
7:03
soon, at least in the next, you know, 6 to 8 months.
7:06
They're either going to have a album for late 2025 or early 26.
7:10
That's what we've been led to believe.
7:13
An actual 9 Inch Nails album. Not just all these soundtracks.
7:16
One live album, 3 remix albums, 6 EPS.
7:21
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 20/22/19.
7:27
Soundtrack scores and that number will grow by at least
7:30
three this year. They have a video game
7:32
soundtrack score, the much anticipated Tron Eras
7:36
soundtrack, and at least one more that they've intimated
7:39
they're putting out. They have won two Oscars, 3
7:41
Golden Globes, and one Emmy. Why did I mention these things?
7:44
Because it kind of occurred to me that 9 inch LS1 of the most
7:47
celebrated and respected and honored bands ever.
7:50
I know, and I think 1 Grammy. But Trent hates the Grammys.
7:54
He actually won a Grammy for the musical soundtrack to Girl with
7:59
the Dragon Tattoo, but he doesn't like them.
8:03
So he scoffed at that award, wasn't too fond of winning it.
8:07
We're even getting nominated because they've snubbed him
8:10
before. But you know, they're a very
8:14
celebrated man. They're one of our leaders.
8:17
So why are they doing the music festival?
8:20
Well, I'll tell you why. Here's another awesome picture
8:22
from our own, a photo from her own Meg Loyal from Meg Loyal
8:28
Photography. She shot this at Aftershock many
8:31
years back. We've covered 9 Inch Nails by
8:35
themselves. We covered them at Aftershock
8:37
and we've covered them at Riot Fest that we always cover.
8:40
We're going back to Riot Fest this year, hopefully, and we'll
8:43
be covering them again sometime. So Niner Channels intimated in
8:49
some interviews in 2024 that they were looking into doing a
8:52
festival and it wouldn't be a typical music festival.
8:56
Now, when you think of metal festivals or rock festivals or
8:59
things, they're usually not led by bands.
9:01
They're usually a big consortium of headliners.
9:05
They're usually curated by whoever the founders of the
9:07
fests are. Danny Wimmer Presents does
9:10
aftershocks later than life. They just did Sonic Temple.
9:13
Welcome to Rockville is this coming weekend.
9:15
We have Milwaukee Metal Fest now headed up by Jamie Josta.
9:20
That was like a huge thing back in the day.
9:22
And now it's back the last few years.
9:24
It'll be back again next year. And usually these festivals are
9:27
planned like a year or two in advance also because you have to
9:30
book the bands and and certain talent has to come in from
9:32
around the world. And you know, you have to
9:35
understand everybody's release schedules and touring ticks
9:37
schedules and kind of what's going on with them, especially
9:40
considering how expensive and difficult touring is now.
9:43
And you know, all the things about visas and tariffs and, and
9:47
the increase in the prices just to get a work visa to come into
9:50
this country as a working musician.
9:53
So they've been planning this probably for over a year, more
9:55
than over a year that they plan to do this, this specific
9:58
festival with this specific line up more or less around this
10:02
specific thing. Drew says he hasn't seen a show
10:05
since 2010. And you missed going to shows,
10:07
Drew, I'm sorry to hear that. So many bands you love to see.
10:10
What's keeping you from going to shows?
10:12
Drew, let us know. We'll talk, we'll chop it up.
10:13
And I will tell you I am going to less shows this year.
10:17
Last year I was going about 2-3 shows a week.
10:20
When I lived in Brooklyn before I moved to California, I was
10:23
going to seriously 5 to 6 shows a week.
10:26
Every night of the week I was out at a show and my health has
10:30
taken kind of a turn. I'm OK, generally speaking.
10:33
I'm I'm working my way back from a multitude of problems and I'm
10:36
just going to less shows. Oh, I understand totally.
10:39
I so understand that. And, you know, thank you.
10:42
First of all, thank you for your service, Drew.
10:44
I really mean that. A lot of people talk about their
10:47
freedoms, but they're not willing to lay it on the line.
10:50
And I really respect and appreciate that.
10:52
Thank you so much. And and I love that your name is
10:54
Drew Odinson. I love that immensely.
10:57
So, you know, I get it. There are ABA seatings where you
11:04
can avoid the crowd and and some places do have like, and some
11:09
festivals do have like very discounted things for veterans,
11:13
including like AADA and veterans entrances where you can skirt
11:17
some of the crowds. But I understand that if it's a
11:19
personal problem for you, you know, that would kind of ruin it
11:23
for you. And obviously, we want you to be
11:24
safe and healthy and happy, especially after, you know, your
11:27
service. Thank you, Sir.
11:30
So anyway, why didn't 9 channels do this?
11:32
Because like, when you think about festivals, you have Oz
11:34
Fest, which was hugely successful at one point and then
11:36
kind of fizzled out. I know that Sharon is looking to
11:39
resuscitate the brand. I doubt Ozzy could be part of
11:42
it. At this point.
11:43
I'm very concerned about Ozzy even making it to perform well
11:47
at this Farewell Black Sabbath and Ozzy show coming up for
11:50
charity in July. Obviously, we are well aware of
11:54
Notfest. Slipknot's Notfest is all over
11:57
the world. It's international.
11:58
They've managed to make it into a thing.
12:01
As you know, Perry Ferrell of Jane's Addiction and Porno for
12:04
Pyros launched Lollapalooza, then he left the brand.
12:08
He came back to the brand that is now a global brand, but it's
12:11
a team of people that organize and book that festival.
12:15
But Notfest is probably the most successful festival ever,
12:18
statistically speaking. And you know, the Metallica had
12:22
two Orion fests and they lost money on both of those.
12:25
There's a definite chance that they will bring that brand back
12:30
someday. But these things don't always
12:33
work out. And sometimes, like a small
12:35
thing, like, you know, every time I die, I always had their
12:39
Christmas shows. And now Better Lovers is trying
12:43
to do that with their new thing. August Burns Red does a
12:45
Christmas mini festival every year near their hometown.
12:51
I know A Day To Remember has tried to do a festival type of
12:53
thing. We know that Dance Gavin Dance
12:56
has Swan Fest, but I think that's a very niche kind of
12:58
thing. As popular as they are, what is
13:00
the best show I have seen? Boy, that's really tough.
13:06
I mean, I went to I went, I'm 52 years old despite this babyface
13:11
under here and under this beard, and I've gone to a lot of shows.
13:15
I've also performed a lot of shows 'cause I used to play in
13:17
bands and I am once again playing in a band that hopes to
13:20
perform live soon. I might say Tool on the Enema
13:26
tour was incredible. Just a mind blowing experience.
13:31
Couple of times I've seen Metallica more than any other
13:34
band and they have been stellar. Most of the time when I've seen
13:37
them. I saw Metallica like my second
13:40
or third show back after the pandemic.
13:43
I saw Metallica's secret show. They did a series of secret
13:45
shows, Nashville, Chicago I think, and San Francisco.
13:50
And I live in San Francisco. And I was, I saw Metallica with
13:52
like 500 people and it was mind blowing.
13:56
Not just because it was like our first thing back from anything
13:59
and it was their first thing back after like 2 1/2 years or
14:02
more, not playing, maybe more than that, but because James had
14:06
gone to rehab and it was the end of the cycle before all those
14:09
things. So I don't know.
14:12
That was up there. Alice In Chains has to be high
14:15
up there. I saw Pink Floyd twice,
14:22
Deftones, Corn, Black Sabbath, Devin Townsend, Meshuga.
14:30
There's so many. Oh, 2004.
14:33
That's Michael from the tablet. That was a huge tour.
14:35
I remember that. There's a lot of them.
14:37
There's a lot of them. Wardruna enslaved doing the
14:41
anniversary set once a while back.
14:45
So I have, I've been very lucky to see quite a few shows.
14:48
Federico has passed by as well as Red Goo.
14:52
Red Goo. So anyway, why is 9 Inch Nails
14:56
doing this festival? So they wanted to get into
14:59
festivals. You know, that sort of as a
15:01
sideline to 9 Inch Nails, maybe even more than 9 Inch Nails.
15:04
Trent and Atticus Ross, who is the only other permanent member
15:07
beside Trent since 2016. They do a ton of soundtrack
15:11
stuff. I talked about their awards at
15:13
the top of the show and your mom said Kiss.
15:17
I saw Kiss on the reunion toward the first reunion tour in 1996
15:20
and that was amazing. I had like not purposefully seen
15:24
them until they brought back Ace and Peter.
15:28
I only saw 10 minutes of them about 3 years ago and I was glad
15:32
it was only 10 minutes 'cause I thought they were starting to
15:34
slip really bad, especially Paul's voice 'cause it was shot
15:36
and but I was Kiss was my first favorite band.
15:41
I, I saw Pink Floyd like I mentioned, so I think 9 Inch
15:44
Nails just wanted to get into kind of this idea of a, a unique
15:48
festival. Not just Trent puts on all his
15:50
bands, his bands. We got a thing last year that we
15:53
covered called the Max Cavalera Dynasty show.
15:56
I'm sincerely hoping that Max does it again where he put kind
15:59
of all his kids and all his kids bands and himself out in a all
16:06
day festival with some local openers and some indigenous
16:09
bands and all these things that are important to Max music art
16:12
family, right? For the Max Cavallera Dynasty
16:15
show. And I think everybody played
16:17
except Cavallera, which he's now on tour with, which he knew he
16:20
was doing and all the bands played.
16:24
We got to cover. It was very lucky that we got to
16:26
go cover it. We do have a team in Arizona and
16:29
our regular team in Arizona couldn't cover it.
16:31
So we had a backup team cover it.
16:33
So it was very thankful for Chris Elliott for the review and
16:37
Annie Atlasman for the photos and some video from Chris as
16:41
well. And so that's really cool.
16:43
That worked out. I hope he brings it back and
16:45
does it again. And it brought Nail Bomb back
16:47
and Nail Bomb is doing stuff all summer, which is cool.
16:50
So I think Trenton, Trenton and Atticus wanted to kind of do
16:54
this thing where they, they wanted to have a, you know, an
17:02
immersive thing, not just music, but composer's, orchestra,
17:06
electronica, maybe even some kind of dance music and visuals
17:11
like installations, like a gallery or an exhibition, but
17:14
like almost like a larger than life thing outdoors.
17:19
So this thing has been taking shape for over a couple of years
17:22
and I'm really interested to see what this is going to be.
17:26
So the details 'cause you were asking future, the Future Ruins,
17:31
which is a phrase we've heard before in literature and music.
17:37
Let's see, I had it here a second to go.
17:48
There's also an an album by Swerve Driver, which is pretty
17:51
funny. So the Future Ruins are music
17:53
and arts festival and I'm going to run through the whole lineup
17:57
and and the choices here. The future ruins festival.
18:02
Future Ruins is a first of its kind music festival, a day long
18:07
event where the world's most influential film and television
18:11
composers step out from behind the screen and onto the stage.
18:14
Here's a picture of Atticus by Meg Loyal and let's see if there
18:19
are any anybody commenting. Not really.
18:21
But if anybody jumps in the comments everywhere but Tiktok,
18:24
I will. I will put pump up your comment
18:26
here so you know this thing seems pretty fantastic.
18:35
Set across 3 stages at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center,
18:40
Future Ruins is designed to feel thoughtful and immersive,
18:43
bringing together this music to light in an environment where
18:46
it's never been heard before. Every artist is a headliner,
18:50
each with their own specialty curated moment.
18:53
Each artist is encouraged to take big swings and reimagine
18:56
their work for live audience. Ranging from electronic sets and
19:00
live bands to orchestral performances, fans have a chance
19:03
to experience live debuts from composers who rarely appear on
19:08
stage. This one time line up is not
19:11
just a music festival, it's a cinematic ceremony, a deep dive
19:14
into sound and story, and a first, a historic first for Los
19:19
Angeles, especially Los Angeles and their history in the film
19:23
and music industry. Of course, this vessel's going
19:25
to come right on the heels of the Peel It Back World Tour by 9
19:29
Inch Nails there. You know, Trent talked about a
19:31
year ago about not wanting to tour much anymore.
19:34
He has five children with his wife.
19:37
That's why we haven't heard from How to Destroy Angels that been
19:40
with the two of them for a while.
19:41
They've been raising their kids. So this is a big swing in his
19:45
own way that he's going to come out on tour, probably with a new
19:48
record after and maybe tour a little bit next year too, I hope
19:52
and play more of Europe. He's doing big, big shows,
19:54
arenas and amphitheaters. In some cases just a just a just
19:58
maybe like 4 handfuls, 5 handfuls of dates, 2530 dates
20:03
across a few months. Sometimes two in a city, but not
20:06
really. So the peel it back world tour
20:09
is going to happen and this took this festival is going to happen
20:11
and this is the future ruins festival.
20:12
So I'm going to read you the lineup and I think this is
20:15
pretty incredible. And again, so unlike Trent could
20:19
have curated a bunch of industrial metal bands, he could
20:21
have put a bunch of metal bands together, he could have put a
20:24
bunch of alternative rock bands together.
20:26
Obviously 9 channels crosses a lot of genres, but he
20:28
specifically wanted to highlight composers, including some that
20:32
have never performed live. Because a lot of these people
20:34
just compose and write scores and then they don't even conduct
20:38
the works that make it to the recording.
20:40
They just do the composition. So here's the entire line up and
20:45
we're going to go through it pretty well.
20:47
I have heard of Hakeel Asip. I have heard of heavy Metal by
20:51
Cameron Winter. I believe I have.
20:53
That name is familiar to me. So here's the line up for the
20:56
festival and not Lindsay is also here.
21:00
Let's see if anybody's on the gram.
21:02
Nope. All right, so here's the
21:06
festival lineup for Fuchsia Ruins, Cristobal Tapia de Ver,
21:10
the recent hit movie Baby Girl, the horror movie Smile, the TV
21:14
show The White Lotus, Black Mirror, Utopia, Philip K Dick's
21:17
Electric Dreams, Ponyboy, Third Day National Treasure, The Girl
21:22
with All the Gifts and Humans, Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow,
21:27
who you might know most of all from Black Mirror and Ex Machina
21:32
the movie, but Civil War, which is an incredible movie, which I
21:36
actually thought was a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack.
21:37
Annihilation, the great kind of a sci-fi horror movie, Loose,
21:41
free fire and Debs. Danny Elfman needs no
21:46
introduction. He shouldn't need an
21:48
introduction at all. But Danny Elfman, obviously The
21:52
Sims, you know, like Oingo Boingo, Batman, PB Harmon,
21:55
Edward Scissorhands. He's basically Tim Burton's
21:58
Maine collaborator, Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice,
22:01
Men in Black, Goodwill, Hunting Charlie and Chocolate Factory,
22:04
Big Fish, Alice and Wonderland, Spider Man, Milk, and my
22:09
personal favorite would be Wanted soundtrack for the
22:14
Angelina Jolie and James James McAvoy movie that I'm a big fan
22:21
of, and there's an incredible rock song on there.
22:23
There's also some 9 Inch Nails on that soundtrack.
22:25
Wouldn't you be surprised? Of course you are.
22:27
Of course you aren't. I know that Danny.
22:30
By the way, like I'm not forgetting the fact that Danny
22:32
Elfman has had some kind of off the off the stage stuff dealing
22:37
with SA. I'm not ignorant to that.
22:39
You can look that up on Reddit if you want to.
22:42
It's out there in the public domain.
22:44
But he's still not cancelled apparently.
22:46
Claudio Simonetti's Goblin just for Goblin and 9 inch downs.
22:49
I would go to this thing. If you don't know who Claudia
22:52
Simonetti is, Goblin, there's a couple of versions of the band
22:56
Goblin we call Claudia Simonetti is the master of horror music
23:00
soundtracks. If you love Ghost, the reason
23:02
you love Ghost is not cuz Ghost sounds like scooby-doo or
23:05
Bloister Call, it's cuz those sound like Claudio Simonetti's
23:08
compositions for Goblin and the soundtracks to incredible giallo
23:13
horror movies like Suspiria Profundo Rossi, also known as
23:17
Deep Red Dawn of the Dead, the incredible classic Demons,
23:20
Tenebrae Phenomena and opera. I love all these movies and I
23:24
would go just to see Goblin. I'm going to probably say this
23:28
horribly, but Hildur Gunther for known for Joker Chernobyl a
23:33
haunting in Venice, Sicario de of the Saldado, Mary Magdalene
23:38
the tar soundtrack 28 years later coming up soon the bone
23:41
Temple women talking and head up a performance of Howard Shaw's
23:47
Howard Shaw, the legendary Howard Shaw composer of many
23:52
Academy award-winning 6 scores, but specifically David
23:55
Cronenberg's crash. Isabelle Waller Bridge is doing
24:00
the music. She's gonna She's known for
24:02
composing Munich, Emma, Black Mirror, Wicked Little Letters,
24:08
Fleabag, of course, with her partner, Phoebe Waller Bridge.
24:11
The lesson, the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse, magpie
24:15
and sweet pea. John Carpenter.
24:17
Oh my God, the John Carpenter, the director of all the amazing,
24:21
amazing horror movies, but specifically Halloween.
24:24
They live The thing, Christine escaped from New York and many
24:27
more. John Carpenter is doing a
24:29
handful of Halloween shows himself across the country in
24:33
specific places, New York and LA in particular.
24:36
And this is right after his Halloween LA residency.
24:39
Just me is here. Just me as a ghost call everyday
24:42
or just me? We're talking about just me 22.
24:44
We are talking about the 9 Inch Nails festival.
24:48
Do you have interest in going to see 9 Inch Nails?
24:51
I know they're playing Oakland and LA.
24:53
Or do you have interest in going to this festival of composers
24:56
headed up by Trent and Atticus of Nine Inch Nails?
25:00
Also also if that wasn't enough, Goblin, John Carpenter, Howard
25:06
Shore's music, Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein from Stranger
25:10
Things, Lost in the Night, Native Son, Butterfly, The
25:13
Retaliator soundtrack, The Valley of the Boom, and their
25:16
own metal projects. Mark Mothersboro of Devo has
25:20
done so many films, including Thor Ragnarok, The Life Aquatic
25:24
Royal, Tenenbaum's Rushmore, Bottle Rocket.
25:27
People seem to love that one, Rugrats, The Lego Movie,
25:30
Minecraft Movie, Cocaine Bear, And I mentioned Thor Ragnarok.
25:34
And of course Devo Questlove performing the the score of the
25:40
works of Curtis Mayfield, which will no doubt be including
25:43
Superfly. I mean, that's going to be
25:45
unbelievable just by itself. Robert A Key, Aubrey Lowe,
25:52
Candyman, Master Telemarketers, The Color of Care, Grasshopper,
25:56
Republic, Power, Uvon Seeds and Life After Tamar Kali, the
26:03
composer of Mudbound. Shirley the assistant, the fire
26:06
inside the last thing he wanted come Sunday.
26:08
Palmer, the Lie, Little Richard, I Am Everything.
26:11
Terence Blanchard, the great composer for such films as black
26:15
klansman, Malcolm X, Inside man, the Five Bloods, when the Levees
26:20
broke One Night in Miami, The Woman King and Perry Mason, and
26:23
of course, Trenton Atticus. Now, no real mention of Nine
26:27
Inch Nails here, but just a mention of The Social Network,
26:31
Watchmen, Gone Girl, Soul Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,
26:35
Challengers, Empire of Light Waves, the Vietnam War, Mank and
26:39
the Killer. We talked earlier about how many
26:41
awards Trent and Atticus have won, and their first soundtrack
26:45
has 9 Inch Nails is coming out soon.
26:48
We'll talk about that. Just they've done a lot of
26:50
soundtrack work, just Trent and Atticus under their names.
26:53
And now they finally felt that there was a movie that was
26:56
worthy of having the name 9 Inch Nails on it.
26:58
And we're going to talk about that in one more second.
27:00
And and they're not even the closer I I imagine this is the
27:03
running order on different stages.
27:05
Volcker, Berlitman AKA Hauschka, all quieter on the Western Front
27:11
Conclave recently saw that amazing the lion, the amateur
27:15
doom prophecy, which is coming up soon.
27:17
Day of the Jackal, Hollywood gate adrift, War Sailor, the old
27:20
guard, stowaway and Patrick Melrose.
27:23
Now we don't know. We don't know what form this is
27:28
going to take for 9 inch shells. Are they going to play a set as
27:30
9 inch shells? Are they going to just do their
27:32
score work? Is it going to be like a
27:34
greatest hits soundtrack from across their movies?
27:37
Could they just pick one thing and perform that?
27:40
I bought the Challengers soundtrack on vinyl.
27:43
I loved it so much I had to have it.
27:47
So what? What is this going to be?
27:49
This is going to be magnificent. Here's just again that photo of
27:51
Trent you've seen a few times in this live stream.
27:54
If you've been hanging with us, just a reminder feel free to
27:58
drop us a tip. We can always use the cash.
28:00
All the money we make goes right back into the company.
28:03
It does not go to me or my partners personally, but you
28:06
know, once again, feel free. The the tips are in the tip
28:09
menu. Ocean Lord, Australia's here.
28:11
What's up Ocean Lord, yo, Tikakashi says let's let's kill
28:20
off the ghost cultman.com banner and just bust in a comment here.
28:23
Thank you for commenting. I appreciate you so much.
28:26
I'm going to star this mofo. John Carpenter does rule.
28:29
We're huge fans and we've reviewed some of his work here
28:32
at ghost cult. But I mean, holy hell, man, like
28:35
the stranger things guys, Claudio Simonetti's goblin.
28:39
Hey, ocean Lord, what's up? I mean, this is a phenomenal
28:43
lineup for this festival and it's and it truly is going to be
28:46
unique and a one shot deal. Here's another theory I'd like
28:50
to float. Last year was the 30th
28:53
anniversary of the down here downward spiral.
28:56
This year we just passed it like 10-11 days ago was the
29:01
anniversary of With Teeth and Year 0, which was always meant
29:05
to have like a visual accompaniment, like an entire
29:08
album visualizer. There was talk of a series on
29:11
HBO based on the Year 0 theme and I always felt like with
29:15
Teeth and Year Zero also a very like similar visual.
29:18
If you look at those covers on this slide here.
29:20
I'm sorry, TikTok, you can't see it unless you come over to
29:23
YouTube or somewhere else or Instagram.
29:25
But what's up Drew Jones? But yeah, just maybe they do a
29:31
full album playthrough. Maybe they do a 2 hour set and
29:34
it's like one hour of just compositions and another album
29:37
hour of Nine Inch Nails. 9 Inch Shells is going on tour and
29:40
Speaking of that Peel Back tour that I talked about just a few
29:42
minutes ago, we don't really know who's in the band except
29:46
for Trenton Atticus. So he might have a whole new
29:48
band. He might return to former
29:50
bandmates to come out and play guitar and keyboards along with
29:54
Trent and and drums and and other things.
29:56
He's had some of the best musicians in the world have been
29:59
in Nine Inch Nails. So it'll be very interesting to
30:03
see who's out there. And just a reminder, this is
30:06
also possible guests, right? There's no telling what guests
30:10
might appear because when 9 Inch Shells got inducted to the Hall
30:14
of Fame, they did that panel where they welcomed everybody
30:17
that was, you know, inducted in together, including Richard
30:22
Patrick of Filter. We've interviewed here at
30:24
Costco. We'll drop the link in the thing
30:26
here. Acucci Wolf is here.
30:28
What's up? Acucci Wolf, you know, he
30:31
invited guests to perform a special one off performance in
30:34
Cleveland with ministry and Nitsareb and and you know, he's
30:37
got been cohorts and colleagues with many, many people across
30:41
industrial metal and rock would be something if he brought in a
30:46
a what if he brought in an array of collaborators?
30:49
Peter Murphy I've seen with 9 Inch Nails, you know, would be
30:53
pretty incredible if he came in and brought in maybe like a
30:57
rotating cast of singers to sing instead of him or with him.
31:01
How amazing would that be? You know, is this going to be
31:05
like a greatest hits ever of Nine Inch Nails?
31:07
This would be 1 hell of a a live album or experience or something
31:12
pay-per-view or stream on Veeps or something.
31:15
I mean, this would be insane. So anything is possible.
31:17
We know that it's going to be grandiose.
31:19
We know sometimes they're going to be, there's going to be an
31:21
orchestra. There's going to be 3 stages
31:25
it's going to be in. I am not familiar with the
31:26
equestrian fields in Los Angeles, but they are apparently
31:29
taking over the entire thing. It is a massive roster.
31:32
I suspect they will probably have like, you know, the LA area
31:36
has no shortage of classical musicians that not only perform
31:40
routinely on soundtracks that probably play the live theater,
31:47
you know, Cruise of Los Angeles. Honara Band is here.
31:52
Hello, Honara. And Lucifer's lover is here.
31:55
So yeah, this is this is pretty massive.
31:59
And I was a little I think because it's not metal except
32:02
for Goblin. And maybe you could argue the
32:04
Stranger Things guys have done some metal music that I think
32:07
the metal press was not very impressed with this.
32:10
But Variety had this pitchfork, whatever consequence of sound.
32:14
I mean, like, I was really surprised that the major other
32:17
metal sites other than Blabbermouth did not have this.
32:20
I was, you know, maybe the first one to have it up after the
32:23
major periodicals. I was a little surprised that
32:25
the major metal press didn't go Gaga for this.
32:28
But it's not really rock or metal, right?
32:30
It's soundtracks and scores and only music nerds are going to
32:33
love that. But I know you're all music
32:35
nerds if you're watching this channel.
32:37
And please give us a sub. I'm grateful for everybody that
32:40
follows. We follow back in most cases.
32:42
If you got a public profile, especially, we're trying to
32:45
boost these numbers so you know, if you support us, it helps us
32:49
keep doing what we do. Once again, a little programming
32:52
note. I will be back tomorrow
32:54
afternoon maybe in about 15 hours doing my weekly show.
32:59
It's normally at night or early evening, Eastern Time to dinner
33:05
hour. But I've got some travel
33:08
tomorrow, so I'm going to try to do my show early, like one 2:00
33:13
Oh, I mean, there's ocean. Lord says there's a real gap
33:15
between metal and rock that gets forgotten about.
33:17
I agree completely. And we love all kinds of music.
33:19
Listen, I have a background in musicology.
33:22
I study classical music and jazz.
33:25
I I love rock and metal. One of my claims to fame is that
33:28
I saw Frank Sinatra and Slayer in the same week in 1991.
33:31
I love telling that story. It's wild.
33:34
So, Frank, I was the youngest person at the Frank Sinatra
33:36
show. And then I watched Slayer RIP up
33:38
Madison Square Garden in New York and get banned for 10
33:41
years. So anything's possible.
33:46
The fans rioted. It was wild.
33:51
And that's true. The gap does feed both.
33:54
And I, I just think like, it's very interesting.
33:56
Again, we talked earlier for those just coming on recently,
33:59
in the last few minutes at the top of the show, I said like
34:02
this is a gamble, but I don't think that Trent is a person,
34:06
you know, he's put out a book. He's he's done so much stuff
34:09
creatively and I know that he doesn't want to tour that much.
34:13
So maybe a festival is the way to go.
34:14
This is why I think like Metallica is winding down.
34:17
This is the last few years of Metallica touring and I don't
34:20
think there's even going to be a farewell tour.
34:21
I think they're just going to stop one day and maybe a
34:25
festival, an all day festival somewhere or a few places is a
34:28
smarter move for them. It's less of everything, but
34:30
like it's the same thing with this.
34:32
It's like if this festival works like a charm, they're going to
34:36
keep doing them and if it dies on the vine they're not going to
34:39
keep doing them. I mean I don't see how it
34:41
couldn't be a success. Tickets go on sale on the 21st
34:44
in in just about a week. We don't know how much they are
34:47
yet. The average festival ticket is
34:50
200 to $600.00. This is a one day event.
34:53
There's general admission and VIPI.
34:55
Imagine the VIP to be very fancy and expensive for the LA area.
34:59
I expect general admission to be more affordable but not cheap.
35:03
Just being honest with you. I wouldn't be surprised if this
35:05
was 2 or 300 bucks to get in for the day.
35:09
That probably will not include parking.
35:11
LA is notorious for this shystery parking.
35:14
I remember my friends went to see Metallica last year at the
35:16
end of the year and it was $50.00 to park at the football
35:19
stadium where the Rams play football.
35:22
Byron D is here. What up homie?
35:24
Congrats on the life of agony shows.
35:27
Hope to get to see you in the next year or so.
35:31
So yeah, I just, you know, I'm astounded and happy that this
35:35
festival's happening. And I'm just, you know, I'm
35:38
wondering what the possibilities are.
35:39
What are these possibilities? Just another couple of bits of
35:42
nine in channel's news. We know that they have.
35:44
I mentioned at the top, they've done 19 soundtrack scores
35:48
officially under the name of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
35:52
They have three more coming this year and two that we know about,
35:55
Tron Ares, which I am so stoked about.
35:58
I am such a big Tron fan. I loved the last one, Tron
36:02
Legacy, and I love the original Tron.
36:04
As cheesy as it looks now by today's standards, I still love
36:08
that movie and I'm super stoked. Go see the trailer of Tron Airs.
36:11
It's got the 9 inch channels music in it.
36:13
It is already. Seems like it's going to be a
36:16
banger. Ocean Lord also says creativity
36:20
will enable the industry to continue.
36:21
We need to shake up what a festival is. 9 inch Channels has
36:23
that creativity. I agree 1000%.
36:26
Ocean Lord on point. Thank you so much for chiming in
36:29
and commenting those comments. I'm all about it.
36:33
I agree 9 Inch Nails will shake. I think this is really a step
36:37
forward for festivals. I think this is super exactly
36:40
what they wanted to do. Something unique, something
36:42
unique to them that is their kind of ethos.
36:46
In addition to Tron Legacy, we broke the news recently that the
36:50
What is the Intergalactic Bounty Hunter franchise from Naughty
36:54
Dog has 9 Inch Nails music in it.
36:56
And then there's a third soundtrack.
36:58
I don't remember if they've announced it yet, but I know
37:00
there's a third one they confirmed.
37:02
So that's at least three more whole albums this year, plus
37:05
assuming a prophesied 9 Inch Nails album that's supposed to
37:10
come out this year or early next year to coincide with this tour
37:14
and maybe next year's tours. So that is the live stream.
37:18
Unless anybody's got any more questions for me, I will get out
37:22
of here. I'm going to be back on here in
37:23
about 15 hours. Please like and subscribe
