Nine Inch Nails Publicity Stunt

Anyone here about this? if you call 2163331810 your hear a girl calling her mom and screaming then getting shot. Everyone at my school today thought it was Virginia Tech but you can hear the girl say "he came into the club pissed off" or something. You can tell it's fake but it's pretty freaky. I also read in Rolling Stone that they have a series of websites (I think hidden) about a government conspiracy.

I missed how this relates to NIN

They made it, It's wierd though, I don't know how people found out about it.. EVERYONE at my school calling it today, I'm almost none of them even know who NIN is, they thought it was Virginia Tech. I looked up the number and they put it out back in like february or before.

"Year Zero", their new album... is a concept album, lots of stuff going on with it.... from hidden web url's on NIN tshirts, thermo-chromatic cds (they turn from black to white when played/warmed up).... again, lots going on. Haven't really followed it too much... I know majority of the album was intentionally leaked via leaving usb flash drives containing new tracks all over the country.

That's pretty cool, I like NIN and haven't heard much of year zero but unfortunately it doesn't seem as good as their other cds, maybe I'm wrong I'll have to listen to more of it.

it's actually pretty decent, and I'm not even a fan. I haven't been into NIN since "The Downward Spiral"...and this is their best record I've heard since.

they also did some secret show, you can read about it here, http://crowdctrl.com/2007/04/19/resistance...o-free-nin-show

they've got a bunch websites too, with all sorts of insane stuff. An amazing concept if you ask me.

Very interesting to see what they are doing and how this will play out.

yeah I've been looking at alot of it online and I agree, I think it's genius. I guess it's supposed to be a form of entertainment, not for publicity. I think it's a great idea.

I heard they put flash drives in the bathrooms @ the shows with mp3's on them ... to leak new music.

It's called viral marketing and it is for publicity.

everything about how Year Zero ties into the album is explained there.

in a pinch, it's a 1984 like vision of the future coming in 2022 (aka Year Zero) where pharmaceuticals are in control with Jesus freaks

wow that recording is messed up

[forsberg91 0]

That is really messed up

[D-MaN88 0]

It just may be me and the fact that I know its fake, but that phone call was brutal. I mean seriously, what does it have to do with anything about their new record and to mention that it wasn't really scary, messed up, or freaky at all. Just my .02 though.

[JR Boucicaut 3802]

It has people talking about it, and creating a thread on MSH. That is viral marketing.

[EBondo 233]

I tried calling the number but I just keep getting a busy signal...did any of you that called have to wait and try again?

[pat19 0]

yeah just keep calling.
