2:14...20 secs of the elusive Robin!

[@anniesamuel4787]

the man is an enigma...a very beautiful one at that!

[@zaltaire]

the way he pricks the guitar...he's like another Jeff Beck. Very odd, weird, (ahem) sexy, and just epic.

Him and Mike Scaccia (RIP) from Ministry truly are the Industrial Rock Guitar gods, no question.

[@NvikIngsN]

Ilian Rubin and Robin explains why NIN music is so much better live.

[@trippshow3541]

fascinating.

[@iyeskeen3043]

I'm happy to see amazing musicians being unpretentious about creating music.

[@axr6327]

Genuine question, how do they look when they are pretentious?

[@KennaN_music]

@@axr6327 can't speak for @iyeskeen3043 , but my interpretation of it is that they are just describing how they make music that works in a very simple, matter-of-fact, logical way rather than saying fluffy cliches like "just letting it happen" or "let the music flow through you" and similar things. Not that I think those things are untrue, but it's too common for artists to only focus on that spiritual aspect when describing how they make music, not giving enough/any credit to the fundamentals that make up the core of good music.

@@KennaN_music Gotcha! Thanks for the answer.

Josh Freese, I thought he kept a tight rhythm.

You're welcome. We can thank yeti from the brick house for that footage

What does he mean “we don’t have any audio going to the stage it’s just a midi comtroller”. ?? Surely the guitar will go to the stage being that it’s obviously not midi ?

[@avelione]

Alessandro put on weight a bit ;p

[@kaz85]

avelione even more now. He looks huge

[@yaarhosseini2076]

now he can eat like a king cause he is touring with NIN regularly !

[@imsososostired]

He's still adorable I love his accent

[@Reprodestruxion]

Try asking for an insalata Di pasta freda in Italian , I dare you

[@erinwalker711]

Don't fat shame him!

[@station2station544]

Total marketing crap.

[@NobodyCaresALot]

No average person can afford all of the gear. How do you think they get by taking home these toys to make music? Interviews like this. If that's the least they have to do, it's not a big deal. I get it, but You don't have to watch it.

@@wmb5907 Soundtoys doesn't make a lot of crappy plugins lol. A lot of industry professionals use their stuff for production and mixing in many genres.

Chris Vrenna - I don’t have the time to explain the talent but great human being was always great to spend time w/. Wish I could remember all the stuff he tried to teach me. Josh freese- just talent New drummer - “oh shit did I just basically talk myself out of a job if they hear this? Let me try and make it sound like I’m actually earning my money and I’m not just a stage prop.”
