I was at the '05 With Teeth tour in Edmonton, Alberta.. and at the Dec.1st show in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan show. I must say that both concerts brought an incredible amount of energy. The show in saskatoon, this winter, was an estonishing announcement when i head Trent will be coming here. this was something i thought would never happen. And, as i witnessed the croud from the 6th row in the seating area, what i noticed between screaming and rockin to the music, was that there was a lot of people just standing there... motionless...
I ask myself, wtf is going on. At the concert in edmonton a couple years back, the crowd was pumped, thriving with that energy that makes a great concert experience. I had to not only stop rocking, but have to divert my attention from Trent presenting his art. Why are these people here, i had to wonder. Do they not know who NIN is? Are they just so fucking retardedly stoned out of their heads, that they cant physically enjoy the music, at the same time as keeping upright..?
I still scratch my head at times, try to wonder what the fuck is going on. I feel that the youth, these days, are not aware of who, or what, NIN is. I cant feel but really sadened about the announcement of what will be become. I only can hope that this is just a repeat of what Trent has gone thru with redeveloping NIN back with the Fragile. Just another break,... i can only hope!
Trent man.. youre great! i support your decision to do what you have to do. I may not fully understand it, but youre an intelligent intellectual, and i know you know whats best for... well, you!
Since '95, i've been there. You've been a great part of my teenage years, and the redefining 20's. I'll be turning 29 in march, and still love the music of NIN just as i did when i first heard 'the downward spiral' when i was 15...
