(Jul 18 05, 17:27)so Apple is for the sophisticated and rich people then?
all i'm asking is why a "sophisticated" band like NIN is prasing a computer brand?
aint dissing them fool!

So we've got a super rich company exec. Toying with his 'expensive' (?) Mac listening to Nine Inch Nails.
Can't help but feel Fincher is missing out on a lot of what NIN are about.
The pace of the images is pretty lurching, and holds no relation to the pace of the track. And jeez, does it drag on? How long can ONE idea be spun out for? Good for about 30 seconds of footage, then move on.
What the video realy should have been was the band appearing as animated silhouettes in iPod ads dotted around various exotice locations... oh wait, U2.
Shucks.

Trent always used a mac to produce all of his music
Q: Didn't you record Pretty Hate Machine on a Mac?
Reznor: Yeah, I've had a Mac since the very first one. I was also using a Commodore 64 for MIDI. At the time of Pretty Hate Machine, I had a Mac Plus. I did all the sequencing of that record on that. With Broken, Studio Vision had come out. That was the first marriage of MIDI and digital audio, and that forever changed the way I was going to record. Now that it's gone from recording everything on tape with a few things on the computer to recording everything on the computer, it's really changed the roles of a lot of people in the studio. The programmer's job is much more the engineer now. All the engineers now have to know Pro Tools.

there's a mac in the 'gave up' video manson played guitar for back in the nineties

just my 2 cents... but I thought the video was pretty boring...
I mean this was david fincher... fight club david fincher - I kept waiting for a pay off but never really seemed to go anywhere.
I kept thinking of gondry, legos, and the white strips vid.
and I kept thinking of what Robert has been doing with cams and visuals over at flight404.com
but spinning around a common desk and the pins being the *only* thing you spent most of your time focusing on was a bit of let down for me.
just my honest opinion - and in no way reflects the quality of the execution and/or the people who worked hard to make it happen.

Thumbs-down on the "Only" video.
The animation was done well, perhaps a bit gimmicky by the end, but overall felt like an omage to something Gondry would do only lacking the narrative or excitement needed in a good music video. The CGI was great as expected from Digital Domain, though I felt that this particular concept affixed to this particular song made for a slightly boring watch.

i am easily impressed.

they said in some article that they had the idea for years beforehand and was just waiting for some band to lay it on
weak fucking approach if you ask me
it was just so un- nine inch nails
looked damn good though.
but then tight pussy is better than fancy panties

Reznor loves Macs, and you should too! :)
- O_Two0
No-one's paying me enough to love Macs.

when they say Apple only, it's for a reason, they'
re smart. Target marketing. A total ploy, why would Trent care, he sold out years ago? Good for him!

looks like a shitty 90's tv advert.
i wonder how they've persuaded trent reznor to do that crap.
the video in now way communicates or underlines the song, be it conceptually or musically.
basic little gimmick it's all it is.

clintwtf.... If there was a comp to be in the vid, what do you think they would do?
Hey Trent you wanna use something else you don't use or what you use everyday to record and produce your records?
Well know fact. Macs rule the music industry. Sorry...
- clint0
windows! apple!
those bastards are trying to rule over my brain. arrrrggghhhhhh.
i'll never succumb.
viva la revolution!!!
i've just binned my ipod.
voila!
muj bien.

surprised no one touched the whole ipod promo in quite a lot of hip hop videos (50cent, eminem, etc.) that is a lot more hidden advertising than this nin video (you don't even see the logos). you who bitches about this video should take a peek at those because those are the real evil ones on that level.

oh and add a lot of movies and tv shows as well who sport macs. how about sex and the city?
