"Three shadowy figures crept onto the smoky stage and took their place behind their respective instruments. Once they were prepared, they were followed out by a brooding, wild and iconic black-clad figure. It could only be Trent Reznor, and the moment the drums kicked in for 1,000,000, it could only be Nine Inch Nails. What followed will be remembered as one of the defining festival performances here in Australia’s recent history. How can you describe watching angst anthems like March of the Pigs, Head Like a Hole and The Hand That Feeds (with countless more that followed) executed live by four outstanding, skilled musicians? How do you explain just what you feel as you watch Trent Reznor cry out “Please, make it all go away”, “How does it feel?” or “I will let you down, I will make you hurt” on the verge of tears? Most importantly, how on earth do you describe a performance that leaves you speechless?"
