NIN has played both of the major arenas in OK in the last two years. They draw far better, and charge far more reasonable rates than a lot of bands.

OK, I had no idea. I thought they’d be playing on the casino circuit by now with Styx, etc...

Some group of musicians should start a band named SB1070.

“Yet again, fading celebrity artists jump on the liberal bandwagon cause du jour to jumpstart a dead career.”....

I agree....sad bunch of stale farts.

He’s just singing the songs about teenage angst that most 40something year old American men won’t sing. Give Trent a chance!

BTW, honestly, you’d have to have lived in a bubble for the past 20 years to not know who NIN and the Maroon 5 are.

“The chorus of artists against Arizona continues to widen because of the state’s upcoming immigration law.”

“Artists”. So what.

The chorus of everyday, patriotic, working Americans FOR Arizona continues to widen because of the state’s upcoming immigration law.

Shame -

I liked the song “hurt” by Trent Reznor (NiN), but only because Johnny Cash covered it.

Well, since NiN has stopped touring, I guess you could say they’re boycotting everyone!

Is there a list of bands that refuse to boycott AZ? Or that are deliberately playing there is support of SB1070?

Wow. Out of all those bands, I have only heard of nine inch nails.

What kind of dunce alienates over half of their potential fan base? Especially when that fan base is small to begin with.

If 14 other states are considering similar legislation, I hope they move on it soon. Arizona stands alone at the moment, and the more states that follow their lead, the more it will hit the pocketbooks of these “artists.”

I imagine when the only cities they can play in are Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York, they’ll learn the difference between believing in something because it’s what everyone else is doing, and believing in something because it echoes what your conscience tells you is fundamentally right.
