I live in Brampton, although, like many of us who have been here over 20 years (I was born in Montreal Quebec and moved to Ontario in 1980), we are embarrassed to admit to living here. Can't wait until the mortgage is paid off next year and we can get the fuck out of this pathetic over-populated suburb!
Anyway, going to the show June 2nd! My first NIN concert and I'm getting pretty excited just thinking about it. My first outdoor rock concert since.......Supertramp? in the late 70's in Montreal.
Only thing bugging me is that I'm 5 ft 2 inches tall and everyone else is taller than me and I won't see the band, notably Trent! Guess we short people (he & me) have to cope! moody smileyWill anyone mind if I stand on my chair? I'm in 410, row J. Is anyone else from Ontario sitting in that area? Besides, Trent says he'll sit on the lawn to see JA after his set. With his build he won't be hard to find!

Hi there GTA fans,
I'm in Brampton. Question: are there any other 49 year old (female/male) fans of Trent/NIN out there? I'm going to the Molson Amphitheatre in June alone (so far anyway - husband isn't too fond of Trent's music sad smiley. I am also 5 feet two inches tall so I hope I can see some of Trent in the front as I view from section 410 Row J. Are there any booster chairs in the theatre I can borrow?confused smiley

ummmmmmmmmm no

I was being sarcastic, but if I stand on my chair to take a picture, will I get nailed by security or smacked by the fan behind me? Hope not! I can't help being 5'2" tall. And being 49 years old makes being shorter than the "kids" around me who are coming to the show is often awkward, as I don't look my age!!!!spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

... Security won't do a thing... O.O .. I've been to plenty of concerts at the ampitheatre where short people were standing on the chairs, and they were not told to get down.. Plenty of them were pushed, or smacked by the people behind them though..

.. I don't care if you stand though.. but, I won't be anywhere near you.. (I have lawn tickets.. =(

Hey guys, does anybody know anything about where to pick up the pre-sale tickets at the Amphitheatre? I got pre-sale tix for TO and Hamilton last year and around a week before the concert they had already sent an e-mail with the info... I'm getting anxious!

 

05/29/09 5:02 PM

06/05/09 6:23 PM

fucking amazing show, great set list. Third time this year seeing them. And apparently the last??? sad smiley

 

06/07/09 11:25 AM

Well the show has come and gone. Wish I didnt' have a seat so far back - right at the top section and on the aisle. No one was seated the entire NIN set - hard for me to see through the heads and raised arms (holding two glasses of beer in the next row down from me). The smokers (legal and illegal were very inconsiderate). Got fed up and moved down to the next level to see the last of TR and the guys. Don't think I'll ever go to any more concerts at the M.A. unless Trent's coming back next year. I'll splash out for better (and more expensive) seating next? time?
I also got fired that day - felt like (quoting trent "put a gun to my mouth/blow my fuckin brains out/pretty patterns on the floor"....100000 miles.
Anyone else with similar bad news want to rant as well? RSVP

 

06/07/09 12:39 PM

Hey all,
I'm from Guelph outside of Toronto and just joined the forums..
I was at the show on Tuesday, and must say it was pretty epic. I don't think I could have asked for a better set list; although it was difficult to see at some points (lots of taller people around tongue sticking out smiley) but it was still quite epic - one of the best concerts I've been to!

I found the sound quality quite mediocre at the Molson Amphitheatre. I thought Trent was a sound quality perfectionist but it seems to me the sound-person had cotton-batting in his ears - the distortion was horrendous. I was in the nose-bleed zone 410 so the acoustics from the far left really stank. If I left my seat I wouldn't see jack squat so I persevered until the last song, then left. The crowd was too noisy through all NIN songs and drowned out the softer songs. Such morons in T.O. and drunken louts. I watched a Rob Sheridan recording when NIN was in Australia - seems you could hear a pin drop when he sang Fragile - not so in T.O. just whistling, shouting, swearing, etc drowning out the band. Maybe that's what he was expecting from the crowd here. Never go to an outside venue like that ever again.

I found the opposite, actually... I was sitting in the 300 level, and I found the sound to be better than I remembered (having been to the Amphitheatre before). And the crowd around me was great, I didn't hear anyone swearing, shouting, talking too loudly, etc. I don't know, maybe it depends on the crowd in the section you're in.


I was impressed with that setlist, probably my favourite setlist of any NIN concert i've been to....I especially loved all the Downward Spiral stuff!

 

06/08/09 5:36 PM

I think it may depend where your seats on in the Amphitheatre.. I was in the 200s for NIN and found the sound quality to be quite good, where there's been other concerts I've went to there and had seats back on the lawn, and the quality wasn't as good there.

Though everyone around me was quite for the most part as well, so that probably helped

For anyone who has dreamed of getting the opportunity to meet, shake hands, chat a little, and get an autograph from not only a rock star, but from one that you are a serious fan of and admire very much, this story is for you.

This story is also for you if you have ever made an embarrassing first impression.

Recently my Fiance, Shane and I had the opportunity to meet Trent Reznor, Robin Fink, Justin Meldal-Johnson and Ilan Rubin otherwise known as Nine Inch Nails.

Shane has since described this day as the best day of his life ever. As a musician himself, Trent has been a huge influence on his own music and meeting him and getting his BC Rich acoustic signed was like a dream come true. He was calm and collected, shook hands, introduced himself, was nice and polite. He made a great first impression.

And me? How did I distinguish myself amongst the hundred or so others in the fan assembly line that day? Well it goes something like this:

As we walked single file towards a table that the band was sitting behind, the first one to greet us was Robin Fink. Now in our house Robin Fink has acquired the nick name "Noise-Guy" stemming from his play on the Nine Inch Nails "All That Could Have Been" live DVD. Despite how this sounds "Noise-Guy" is meant as a compliment. Of course when you call someone a nick-name enough times in private, sometimes you forget that it isn't common knowledge. I mean, the Robin that we cheered on the TV never objected to being called Noise-Guy so it must be ok right? Well you probably know what happened. I called Robin Fink "Noise-Guy" to his face. I'm sure I was smiling when I did it, it was meant as a compliment but something tells me by the look on his face that he didn't get it. He just kind of screwed up his nose, sat back with a confused look and said, "noise guy?" He didn't really look impressed. I have to admit I was a little scared. "Oh-no I've offended Noise-Guy" shouted the voice inside my head. Rest assured Robin, if you ever read this and you remember the incident, it was meant as the best of compliments.

Justin was next along the table. I don't really remember saying much to him. I think I was trying not to put my foot in my mouth again.

I should have tried harder... Next at the table was Trent Reznor.

It started off really well, I shook his hand, he asked me my name and I was able to say it without too much difficulty. I handed him a copy of the Ghosts CD which he signed graciously. I think I said thank-you and I moved on so that Shane could have his turn. This is where it all goes downhill.

You see, Shane has many funny clippings and random objects taped to his guitar. One of these is a hand drawn cartoon of a french fry that is singing "...and all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a french fry..." Shane drew it himself and so he was delighted beyond words that out of everything stuck on it Trent picked out and laughed at that one thing. Yep, so far so good, except this is when I pipe up and point to the clipping from actual packaging that reads "Shane's World: Anal 101" and I say "Well I like this one the best."

It wasn't until the next night at work that I realized what I had done. I recalled the knowing and giddy grin that creeped across Trent's face and I realized that in the few seconds that I had to make an impression on rock stars not only did I call Robin Fink "Noise-Guy" to his face, I told Trent Reznor I liked it in the ass.

If there are any Tool fans planning to go to the August show, the Edge 102 Insider presale tickets are up tomorrow at 10am. The password is tool - pretty crafty, eh?
Here's the link from the edge site:

Hey all,

Posting from Keswick - here on the beautiful shores of Lake Simcoe.... Caught the Molson Amphitheatre show on June 2nd and loved it. It was my 6th time seeing NIN live. Caught them 3 times on the LITS tour. Really enjoy going to NIN shows with my teenage kids but now that they performed their final show in North America last night at Bonnaroo Festival there's going to be a void for sure... Looking forward to new NIN music though.

I was in the 200s at the Amphitheatre and I thought the sound was great.

Seeing NIN and RATM in one festival at Lollapalooza last year will always be a great memory...
