400GB OF FREE NIN FOOTAGE

Wed, February 11, 2009  
NIN released their latest album, The Slip, free, online, as a gift to their fans in 2008. "This one's on me," NIN frontman Trend Reznor said at the time. Reznor who started putting up tracks for remixing long before acts such as Radiohead did, is now taking the lead in getting his fans involved in creating a full HD DVD. In a forum posting he leaked hundreds of gigabytes HD video footage for fans to create something cool with.

"The internet is full of surprises these days. I was contacted by a mysterious, shadowy group of subversives who SOMEHOW managed to film a substantial amount (over 400 GB!) of raw, unedited HD footage from three separate complete shows of our Lights in the Sky tour. Security must have been lacking at these shows because the quality of the footage is excellent. If any of you could find a LINK to that footage I'll bet some enterprising fans could assemble something pretty cool. Oh yeah, you didn't hear this from me."
