hey jmj

just dropping a note to welcome u to our sunny little island! we'll be watching u play later this evening. have a good one!

ps: oh yeah, remember to try the local food. i recommend the barbequed stingray.

and if u have some time before the gig, our guitar shops are a stone's throw away from the gig venue, at the basement of excelsior hotel.

FIRST thing I ate on arrival: BBQ stingray with chili sauce all over it. E - P - I - C!!

Thanks re: guitar shops, will definitely hit that.

omg i just got my nin fix!! excellent set there brah!

u guys really have stamina too, kicking ass for 2 hours!

btw, what was GENE SIMMONS doing there??!?!

jmjbassplayer · #4 08-10-2009, 11:04 PM

Glad you liked. It was a great night for my part. Thankfully the stamina held out. 2 hours in that climate wasn't easy, certainly. But it was exhilarating. I heard about Gene Simmons being there. Apparently we've been invited to "party" with him tonight, whatever the hell that means.

Looking forward now to my time off here in Singapore for 48 more hours.

Hey JMJ...It was great meeting you

. Thanks again for your hospitality

. You looked a bit tired on stage. You pulled it of either way!. I remember you telling me, you were famished before the show,. I got back to HYderabad 2 days after the show. Did you meet Gene? What projects have you & the rest of the guys, lined up after NIN?.

Thanks again for everything

Ola Justin! Awesome that you think our stingray is EPIC with all those dashes. Heard you guys pigged out at Newton! And I really cannot describe how beautiful the show was... it was certainly inspiring. It's absolutely sad we have to all wave goodbye, it's like the closing of an era. I really hope you guys felt what we the fans felt too because I know everyone who was present had a brilliant time. And yes, you were totally badass! Each and every one of you. Ilan is madly talented for his age, isn't he?

Saw your tweets when you were in Singapore, glad you had a good time here! Really really hope all of you would come back again. Not on tour maybe, just for a holiday or something! Still feel embarrassed we didn't thank Ilan for kindly holding the door for us. Did you have a chance to visit our zoo in the end? Or to pick up some Mandarin?

P.S. I was the girl directly in front of you during the show behind the rails!!! The one who was singing her lungs out unglamourously to every lyric.

I'm glad to hear the show meant so much to you, that's fantastic. Yes, I remember you quite clearly, and honestly: seeing you respond/sing that way was very inspiring. The show was one of my favorites lately. I'd love to come to Singapore again...didn't get to the zoo this time. Anyway, thank you for the kindness...hope to see you again down the road.

Aw shucks Justin, you're too kind!!! The girl in black with long hair, yes? If I remember correctly, you pointed towards my direction at one point of the show. And we exchanged waves before you left the stage. I could tell you were enjoying yourself!
You are most welcome. Thank YOU for being an inspiration as well. You're one of my favourite bassists. I just can't agree more with your music taste; Fugazi, Killing Joke, BRMC! What's your current favourite band? Singapore's a fair bit of distance but yeah bring your family, we'll be waiting!
I very much hope to see you again too.

Once again, thank you for being so gracious to your fans. You are a great musician. You are missed. X

Thank you, Amanda! And you are most welcome. Fans like you deserve to be placed on a high pedestal; they are simply what bands live or die by.

Favorite band? Don't really have one...too many!

Diamond_back · #12 08-16-2009, 04:42 AM

Wow, that's very flattering. We should stop thanking each other so much but I'll say it once more, thank you! That really made my week!

Yeah I agree, way too many bands. Discovered any new refreshing musicians lately which you would recommend? Have you got any special plans after the Wave Goodbye tour wraps up?

FreeFallin · #13 08-17-2009, 01:57 AM

Hi, Justin!

I just had to drop in to say thanks, myself!
I flew over from Australia for the Singapore gig (and M&G. . thank you for being so friendly! I can't believe how much I was shaking. . sorry about that), and it completely blew me away.
The pit was quite tame, which I actually welcomed for once, because it gave me a chance to actually see the magic you guys were making on stage, rather than just getting squished. Even though I was over on Robin's side, I could still see you

You smashed it up there, so thank you so much for being the reason behind the experience of a lifetime!

Still feeling a massive amount of post-gig depression. . . I can't seem to fathom that I may never see NIN again. What goes up must come down.

jmjbassplayer · #14 08-17-2009, 05:09 AM

Special plans: too hard to say, but I have a lot I want to do, we'll see what I can fit in. Film work, producing, session work, as well as being on tap to work with Trent and the boys.

New refreshing musicians: lemme think on that, nothing springs to mind that I haven't already pumped up.

Best,
JMJ

Diamond_back · #15 08-18-2009, 09:40 AM

Hmm sounds like what you do best!! Looking forward to all of that.
Well I don't wish to bug you anymore, it has been a real pleasure corresponding with you Justin, and I wish you the best of luck for everything that's coming your way.

Catch you around the forum!

Take care and keep on kicking ass,
Amanda Choo

Hey Justin, Here are the photos of you, with me and my cousin :-
