Other than Slayer...is there even anyone worth seeing @ Mayhem Fest?

depends on what you like, Manson would be cool, but it's not like 1997 when he was really really good. A whole lot of growling-death metal as far as I can tell though.

There are a couple of bands, both old and new, that I am excited to see...Marilyn Manson and Slayer are my tops, but also some of the newer bands seem pretty good as well...I hate death metal, but they have some really good side bands and the motocross show is great too.

Yea, Ive heard Manson puts on a good live show.....I know Slayer pits are second to none, cept amybe Pantera back in the day(rip cfh), but have yet to see a NIN pit. It was fun listening to Cannibal Corpse - Fucked with a Knife...when I was 15...and the rest are all nu-metal

I'm not disappointed by this at all. You want to know why? NIN is still playing, and I still get to go see them.
That is all.

A little late in coming to this discussion (so many replies in so very few hours), but here's my two cents for what it's worth. I'm surprised to see JA closing. I've never been a huge fan, but having said that, I'm still excited to see them perform live. And it's still 1 1/2 hours of NIN, plus I'm guessing around the same for JA. Which means for the price of my ticket, I'm seeing three bands, two of them with full play times, as opposed to one major act with two openers. Besides, whichever order they choose to play in, they still have a general idea of when each band needs to start and stop, according to the time allotted to them by the venues for the entire show. I don't see what difference the schedule makes as far as quality and time goes. Though I can see the people who are there for NIN more than for JA wanting to have that last bit of music that they hear being NIN.

Too bad. Nin fans arent required to be JA fans because trent likes them. And they arent required to be happy about the situation, ESPECIALLY after paying 100 dollars for tickets. Honestly i want a refund, but im trying to calm down.

So you bought tickets to a show with two headliners and you never considered the possibility that the one you like more might not be playing last? You never once considered this as a possibility, especially given the fact that two bands can't play simultaneously?

oh sure i considered it, but all implications were against it. JA still listed as ~support~ on the tour site. And the tour is called NINJA not JANI. Logic was against it, especially every night. But you know, whatever.

please stop talking, take ticket, go to craigslist, sell ticket ????? $$$$$$ profit.

Hopefully, the organizers of this show will realize this mistake ahead of time and give the fans what they want. Maybe we should start a petition?

What about Jane's fans? And also:

JA is not bigger than us and we're not bigger than JA - this is an issue of respect and simply WHAT I WANT TO DO because I do have a master plan here. Open up your minds for a second and lay off the knee-jerk reactionary bullshit for a second - it's embarrassing for all of us.

Are you saying that TR made a mistake?

Wow...

I'm blown away by the majority anti-Jane's sentiment... when I first became aware of the NIN/JA concept I just became so happy that two of my most favorite bands of all-time were gonna be sharing a bill... I could care less the order they play in myself. I'm definitely looking forward to Street Sweeper as well...

Who saw the original Lollapalooza? Remember that southern Cali stage set with the palm trees? Remember how remarkable a job Jane's did in closing out that awesome day of rock and roll? I can still see it... burnt forever in my rock and roll memory.

Dave Navarro was just reminiscing on the NIN/Jane's Addiction relationship over the years on his Dark Matter internet radio show last Wednesday night... looking back on Lollapalooza 1 he was laughing that Jane's was on top of the rock world while NIN played during the daylight hours. He went on to say that Jane's broke up shortly thereafter while NIN just kept going and going... then he says, "now we're just Trent's bitch, he let us clean his pool last week".

All I'm saying is that if you're a fan of music... stop all the hating and do yourself the favor of being open to this WHOLE experience... chances are it'll never happen again and that's good enough for me to recognize this as exceptional and not to be missed.

Regarding "the Mayhem Fest" being cheaper comment - if you are actually going to that show and paying ANY money for it, enough said.

BWA HA HA HA!

ZeeKrinkle posted:

...like he just said he would be doing Jonas Bros. covers the entire show followed by a closing act that involved a flautist and a guy who plays air guitar to the tune of the Ring Cycle...

I would pay cashy money to see that show.

Awesome news.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I bet Trent can't wait for this tour to be over so that he can be rid of you assholes.

to a degree i bet you're right and i would totally be the same way. the last few pages have turned into a sappy fuckfest

initially i was somewhat disappointed JA would be closing, i've never seen them live or heard much of their music for that matter. logically i didn't think it would make much sense, NIN would leave a better taste in the mouth leaving the venue. But i support this decision and i love music, so i'm gonna stay for JA. I mean why not? there's no better way of opening yourself to new music than seeing a band live. if you're not happy with the decision then sell your fucking seats and get your money back, no ones making you go.

I will still have a good time regardless of who plays first. keep a positive attitude people.

and BTW this fuckfest started weeks ago in this thread::
[forum.nin.com]

maybe this should be the Thank You thread, and the old, fuckfest-like thread can regain its shitlist position.

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here i am stuck in the middle with you

Everybody's getting way too heated about shit that doesn't matter. If you like the band, what do you care when they play? If you don't like the band after, leave... who cares?

If you're going to one of these shows, you're among the lucky who have the expendable cash for a not-so-cheap concert. That's excellent. You are already having it your way. Do you need the sun and the moon at your feet, as well?

I've never seen NIN or JA before, this summer will be my first for either of them. I'm just excited as hell to be going - not so much concerned with who goes when. And trent is a master showman... I'm sure he's worked timing into everything.

Deep cleansing breaths. Everybody.

ok... either way your seeing 1hr 30min set of NIN during dusk or during the night. Its the same!! the same sick songs! a varying setlist each night, and a kick ass band, an open taping policy, WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR?!#%@$%@$

I think everyone needs to relax. its called NINJA tour for a reason!!!!
