ninjaw posted: Yeah... As well as my reponse to you and Nagao. It's good to know from the moderator why our message got deleted huh. So, Nagao, I was saying, if it's about Trent voice, they should put more days between shows for him to recover. Rushing is useless. | |

Amazing.
I came 2 hours before the show started, i was 5meters away from the stage. Mew was okay, the guitarist was really good, however not a fan of the vocals/lyrics. Love how everybody had their hands on their ears during the last song. The crowd during Mew was..dead. I really hoped that for NIN, the crowd wouldn't be the same. I was so excited when i saw the double bass on the stage, i knew that La Mer was going to be played. Finally, after the fog machine had been put on 5 times, Trent Reznor came in. With the fog and the fact that i could see him perfectly, i thought i was dreaming.Somwhat Damaged started, the whole crowd went wild, it was perfect. I was jumping everywhere screaming the words. Some people came out of the crowd because it was so agitated. At the end of the song, i was already full of sweat, ready to have a heart attack, my voice broken because of screaming the lyrics aloud. I really wondered if i would survive for an hour and a half. Terrible Lie, Heresy, March of The Pigs we're crazy, the crowd was out of control, everybody screaming the words, beautiful. I'm Afraid of Americans then, and i felt like that iwas the only one that knew the song. All the people around me just stood there, arms crossed, while i was screaming the words. And here was my main problem, where i was was full of "pussies", people who just stood there, didn't move, didn't sing, didn't even cheer, just looked a you while you went nuts. Burn & Gave Up we're just like Terrible Lie & Heresy, except that i was shouting alone, whilst everybody looked at me like this "O.o". Then La Mer, beautiful, but still iwas wishing they would play Into the Void after it. The Fragile came after, and suddenly all the girls woke up. Non Entity was great, Gone Still was a good surprise, and then The Way out Is Through, excellent. Wish & Survivalism got the crowd going once again, however dissapointed that i was the only one screaming "Fist Fuck!" from where i was. Physical was a good surprise. The Day The World went away was perfect, i'm really glad they played it, it's one of my favorites, and it sounds so good live. Hurt came along, got the whole crowd singing along this time (yes, even where i was). And finally The Hands That feeds & Head Like A Hole we're fucking brilliant. The energy from the band and the crowd during those two songs. A guy in front of me who didn't move at all during the whole concert, just suddenly got all excited when it was Head Like A Hole and was jumping everywhere. It finished the show off perfectly. No need to ask for seconds. But weird thing is, i still had enough energy for another hour. Sorry about my english, my repetitions, and everything all mixed up in one big paragraph, but i'm still in a state after the show. It's going to be hard to get over it. As many people said, this is my first and probably my last NIN show. But damn, it was worth it. To make things short, there was energy and positive feedback from the crowd, Trent Reznor enjoyed the show (Which reassures me after he said "Is it bad that I want to go home already after one show in Europe?"  , and Ilan's birthday was hilarious. Only regrets? Why didn't i bring my fucking camera with me? |

I must say, i kept talking to my friend during Mew, but it didn't seem like it was disturbing anybody. But yeah, i agree, they never help people move out the crowd. But fuck them, i came to see Nine Inch Nails and have a fucking great time, and i did. Why come to a NIN show if it's to just stand there watching them with no expression/emotion and still be upset with the people that around you. |

Juli_Min posted: It would have been awesome to hear the three last tracks. I mean, they already performed Dead Souls in 2005 and it is a very good song live. Moreover, like many people I prefer the old stuff (from PHM to TF), even if there is some good "new" stuff (e.g. : In This Twilight, Echoplex...). I understand that the guys wanted to see their families. People tend to forget that the 4 guys are humans just like us. Maybe it is quite strange to say that, but too many people seem to see Trent as a godhead or something. It is only the drawback of fame I guess. But, on the other hand, the fact that they did not play the 3 last songs is not fair for the crowd and there is one other thing I want to mention regarding setlists : they are great but I do not understand why Trent does not want to perform some bunch of songs (And All That Could Have Been, Ripe with Decay, I'm looking forward to joining you finally...). When you think of it is quite strange, because NIN is a live band as opposed to bands which are only studio bands (Ulver for instance). In that way, every track should be played live. So, it is weird to read on this forum that Trent and co haved played Piggy remix and not Sunspot for instance. I just don't get it. But, it is just my viewpoint and in any case I does not change my mind on the show which was great. Paper setlist :  Edited 5 time(s). Last edit at 07/14/2009 08:14AM by Barry44. |
