Channel V in Australia goes WILD

Fox Trotski - Thank you very much for this very detailed news submission.

Channel V in Australia will be repeating the Big Day Out special on the 4th and 5th of march, from 3.30pm AEST.

No word if they will be showing the full NIN show, but if enough people (even the overseas people, it'll shake them up a little) email and demand/beg/threaten, maybe the full set and full interveiw will be shown. Requests for NIN songs can also be sent through this email address. (and if people havn't seen the interveiw, its worth it for the 'win a prize' bit at the end... trent was given the choice of a shark, a crocodile or a kangaroo sticker. He chose the shark sticker and later got a chocolate bar for his trouble)

Bits from the channelV website that give times are as follows...

6:25 - 7:05: Atari Teenage Riot - approx 40 mins includes 10 minute interview

9:50 - 10:35: Nine Inch Nails - approx 40 mins includes interview.

The live stream of the show can be heard through here.

And as for the cut short interveiw/set, the reason from channelV is - "We know that some of the sets didn't go for as long as y'all would have liked, but I'm afraid our hands were tied in that instance. Some bands simply said 'No' to allowing us to film certain songs"

Images of Trent from the perth show, on the channel V site are here

There is a RealAudio grab of Trent from New Zealand, entitled 'don't believe the hype'. It can be found here

Elsewhere on the site, trent reznor is voted by Jabba - the man who did the interviews - as being "the most approachable rockstar, believe it or not"

As I said before, there was a 'win a prize' segment of the interveiw.. this photo was taken just before then.

From the Jabba BDO Diarys... 'Up the road at the Hyatt, the chili peppers and NIN are ensconsed in a little more luxury, why do they always stay at a dearer place? Maybe it's a better tax write-off?'
