NIN: Wish live with The Dillinger Escape Plan – Perth, 3.02.09 [HD] from Nine Inch Nails on Vimeo.

So I think it’s safe to say that our feelings about Nine Inch Nails are mixed. Some of us love them, some of us hate them…more of us just stopped caring after The Downward Spiral.

Fair enough.

It’s also fair to mention, however, that for the past couple weeks, the NIN machine has been quietly uploading high-quality HD videos of their live performances to Vimeo and other free-to-all video outlets on the internet. Which I think is pretty cool.

Now, if everybody’s being safe and fair and all that, I think it’s OK to mention that it looks like Rob Sheridan (Trent Reznor’s Art Muse) is using the world (wide web) as his proving ground for taking videos with his supercamera, but still…content is content.

And hey! Even if you don’t happen to get down with Reznor & Co., there’s a decent chance that you might be into the Dillinger Escape Plan, which, in this video and a few others, make a startlingly sweaty appearance alongside the rest of the gang. Be sure to watch through to the end and see Trent tackle the drumset.
