I'm sorry music_food maybe some people dislike Limp Bizkit because they think they are shit and even that stupid scratching noise they came onto was enough to repel us from the area. Don't just say people are being sycophants to Trent Reznor because you don't like people hating stuff you're into. There seem to be plenty of people who like Manson and NIN despite the stupid feud.

Jesus man, you need to take it easy. Firstly, I can't remember the intro music exactly, but considering you're a fan of a band that uses glitch and noise electronica sounds in their music, I'm a bit surprised you've gotten so aggressive towards it. I'm not calling NIN fans sycophantic because they're hating music I like, its not like i'm taking it personally, people are quite within their rights to like who they want. Myself, and clearly most of Knebworth on sunday, really enjoy Limp Bizkit. If its mostly the NIN fans that don't/didn't, its hardly unreasonable to look at their past feuds as a possible cause.

Sorry music_food didn't mean to come over aggressive but I guess it was inevitable as I have tonsilitis and can barely even speak, had it over the festival, so my mood is not at its best.

Ouch, nasty shit. Get better soon.

Thanks - walking for miles and miles because stupid buses don't turn up at Stevenage nearly broke me on the Sunday and I almost just went home. Didn't manage to stay for Metallica who I'd have liked to see, although I read that they didn't play much of the old stuff, I kind of lost touch with them after the Black album. So I have to admit I was kind of relieved there were no mosh pits for NIN considering we were a few rows back on the left!

I wasn't there but I thought you guys might like to know about this...

Soundboard quality recording of The Way Out is Through and Wish. I'm looking around to see if the rest of the show is available anywhere. Would love to hear the rest of it, if anyone knows somewhere let me know.

To me, the show was pure self-indulgence on the part of Trent\the band. Why on earth would he feel it necessary to "baffle or enrage" the people who have paid (a lot of!!) money to come and see the band's last ever UK gig??? It's utterly beyond me...

...yes, it was a very emotional set played well...there's no denying that but what was the thinking behind doing that to the audience? When the set finished, I looked at the stage in disbelief and was truly shocked to see the stage hands come and start dismantling the equipment.

The (majority of the) crowd were left totally flat and dejected, walking away feeling miserable - it was a rock concert for f***s sake, not a wake!!

NIN are known for a particular type of music, and fair play to Trent for deciding that he's no longer that person and for not wanting to play and (re)live it any more but to piss the fans off....to me it was a major error of judgement. If you feel that strongly that you don't want to play it any more, just decline the gig!

As much as it pains me to say this, and it truly does because they are one of my favourite live bands, I would rather NIN had not been on the lineup at all - at least that way, the Manchester show from 2 weeks ago would have been the memory of my final NIN gig, not the mournful, self-indulgent, festival-killing set that was played on Sunday.

I couldn't disagree more - he's "retiring" not dead.

It should have been a celebration of the music we've all been buying \ playing \ going to see for the last several years -

It felt like they went out with a whimper and not a bang.

I never suggested that they were bad tracks - I love Hurt and SICNH but there was no balance to the set and that's what disappointed me.

That said, it's each to their own and we'll never all agree on what would have been the best things to play because everyone has their own favourites - I would have gone with it all if we had had one jumpy one at the last - HLAH would have filled the last 5 minutes perfectly and this discussion would not even be taking place.

The way i see it is opinion is divided, and you are all welcome to your own obviously

But, i think this all needs to be looked at objectively, this last few weeks in the uk (in fairness) wasn't about the fans. This was about Trent. He's had alot of shit over the years like most people, but this was his 'wave goodbye' not ours. He wanted his last show in the UK to be as emotional as he could make it. He's come to have a massive attachment to his fanbase, and in the end, wanted his goodbye.

I for one will sorely miss him, he's one of the best music has ever given to us on the world stage, and hopefully the studio work will continue. But please people don't question his motives because it wasnt what you wanted, it makes you sound like a spoilt child. We had his pounding tunes at the MEN & O2, then to leave us for good, he left us tearfully. and trust me, i was on the verge of crying at the MEN (yes i'm male and yes i admit to nearly crying )

I just ask you not to be so harsh on something maybe you havent understood yet, or possibly come to terms with....
