I cried. Only one other artist has done this to me -Tom Waits. I just had this huge rush of past memories. It was like an emotional ship wreck. I guess that is the awesome power of music. The rest of the show I rocked out and danced. The positive thing was I really got back into my painting and drawing after that.

i did this at lollapalooza. it started during hurt and then when they went into in this twilight i lost it again. very embarassing untill you realize you're not the only one C:

I lost my passport on the subway on my way to the Philly show. Than on my drunkin explorations after the show, I met Charles Barkley at some tequella bar. Man what a strange night!!!

The weirdest thing that has ever happened to me at a NIN concert happened on Friday 12/12/08 at the Sacramento show. About into the third song of NIN's set some asshole felt compelled to bite me on the right shoulder really really hard. As you can see, it broke the skin. I immediately went to the security and requested to be taken to the venue medic. The medic team were very helpful in getting the wound rinsed out as quickly as possible. I thank them for that. A friend of mind whom was attending his first NIN concert also hurt his ankle in the pit. I have been to five NIN and on TOOL floor shows and have never been hurt till now. Since there are idiots out there whom feel that they need to bite people in order to get to the front, I feel that this will be my last floor show at any concert.

ladytron. but on a serious note i met some guy i had not seen for many years and we were both nearly 200 miles from home. not that weird but hey.

Not to mention the most phenomenol music I have ever heard, for every person bit like that there is another willing to correct this action, if not 50. With Teeth was not written to encourage biting. When you are at the next NIN show at the Univ. of Reno N.V., wear leather to protect you from biting, I will see this and be prepared to correct any further apprehension in regard to flooring by immediate intervention and corrective biting maneuvers. No one should be able to bite someone from N.V., or anywhere for that matter, and think its acceptable unless they are being jumped and fighting off men who fight like b@#&!*$.

Not so weird as much as gross - someone vomited in the pit and the mixture of heat and sweat made sure that a lot of people slipped around in the rising stench.
Haha, it was one of the most nightmarish things that could happen during a concert, you couldn't get away from it if you tried.

Hahaha,that is the exact same thing that happen at the concert I attended back October.Somebody vomited but I didn't realized till a guy behind me told somebody about it...agh.

OH!

and there were 3 guys behind me, and they kept asking me

"what song is this"

-________-

People asked me, "Who's playing?"
Seriously.

A couple in front of me were practically getting it on during Closer.

i was on the rail at the show in SA this October & this nasty chick behind me grabed my boob. At first i thought it was accidently because we were all so squished but then i felt her hand again! i just moved her hand out instead of wasting time on her & missing any of the show. i think she was trying to steal a rail spot because i heard the girl next to me yell out "wtf are you doing!?" so maybe she grabbed her boobs too. she kicked people & put all her weight on us. the show was fucking amazing tho!

i expect the floor to be rough. i expect to get pushed around. i'm used to it, and i can certainly hold my own on the rail with little trouble, but never until the victoria show have i ever had someone behind me actually cover my face with their hands in an attempt to suffocate me. that was fucked. security(trent's main security guy JT) stepped in right away though and that was the end of that.

at the Toronto June 24/06 show at the Molson Amputheatre - the guy in the seat next to me was so drunk - I don't think I've ever met anyone quite so wasted - and it was like 7 pm. I got there just as Peaches started and he hit on me throughout her entire set, and I didn't want to be rude and tell him to fuck off - so I ignored him. He kept offering me drags from him cig and beer - which I turned down, and after Peaches I went to the merch table to get away from him, and decided I'd resort to being rude if he tried to talk throughout Bauhaus - but when I got back he was gone and didn't come back for the rest of the concert.

Also strange, in Montreal having someone grab my shoulders and try to physically remove me from the bar halfway through NIN set after I refused to push over to let her in beside me - cause there is oh so much room on the bar halfway through a NIN set.

At the mohegan sun show some chick had a shirt that looked like she wrote "Mrs trent reznor" in blood.

I was sitting up in the last row at the HOB concert and there were these two average looking couples that sat down in the row in front of me. No big deal. Looked like they were around my age, maybe younger. You could tell they'd probably been fans a long time. Dressed average, jeans hoodies, t-shirts, ya know not, UBER gothy or anything....I was talking to one of the people next to me, off and on, a younger couple while waiting for the opening act. The girl and I were both freezing our butts off and giggling about how cold it was there. But nothing major just general pass the time chit chat. nothing obnoxious or attention getting (not that I ever would in public but) All of a sudden the guy from one of the couples in front of me, turns around looks me up and down and says to his girlfriend next to him, "I guess Trent Likes Em BIG now?" and they all grinned at each off and giggled/snickered.

I just sat there like WHAT THE FUCK are you talking about??? I was completely stunned. I didn't say anything but...WTF??? Like it was just bizarre and out of the blue; unrelated to anything being said by anyone. I don't even know the guy (Trent or any of NIN) OR either of those couples for that matter. It was just weird behavior. And I'm kind of keeping to myself and a few friends now as a result cause...WTF? What else are people saying about me ya know, they gotta be getting this bullshit from somewhere? How can you assume shit like that about a complete stranger when there's ZERO evidence of anything happening??? Like there's not even a picture of me and him on the web like with past girlfriends ya know? You'd think if I was with him, you'd have seen something by now??? Not to mention he's in like CA and I'm in PA??? HELLO! WAKEY WAKEY...

ANYWAY ...that's the weirdest thing... this thread just reminded me of it. I had previously completely forgotten about it and long moved on with my life...

Oh and yeah...in philly someone lit a joint too, but HELLO, it's a Rock concert! LOL My first concert ever was Aerosmith with Dokken as an opener and my best friend and I got totally high, in the nose bleeds, from everything being lit below us, the second hand smoke .

A girl was wearing a black large garbage bag as her outfit......this was Aug 5 ACC in Toronto. It was weird.....I've seen a lot of goths and strange outfits but the garbage bag really stuck out.
