Thread: NIN - Oct. 4, 2005

I'll be there, you should be too. They rocked the fucking house in denver last May. Slept on the side walk to get front row. Trent did bleed out his nose...seeing Hurt live after Johnny Cash's death was haunting. An experience I would only trade for a APC or Tool concert :-).

So I take it you didn't see APC open for NIN about 4 years ago on the Fragile tour? Pretty decent show, though nothing quite compares to the Downward Spiral shows way back in the dizzay.

Seconded. DS tour show that I saw in 94 was one of the best concerts of my life.

How about Pretty Hate Machine tour at Mustards in Columbus, OH in 1991?

not bad, sonny!

NIN summer of 1991 w/Lollapalooza at Blossom Music Center. 14 years ago, yikes! That was way back when Reznor was still living in Cleveland.

Still one of my favorite bands, though I would have liked to seen them on one of the later tours. At least I can listen to And All That Could of Been, which is a great live album.


I just saw the other day that Ministry is on tour, I have seen them with Lollapalooza and on their own. I might try to catch them in Albquerque.

I wish, but I was only 8....

I would kill to see that show, but I would kill even more people to see Tool + Rage.

Also kill to see:
just one set of No Quarter and/or Push It live as on Salival
Diary of a Madman - APC....

LAst Time I saw them was with Marilyn Manson and The Jim Rose Circus open up for them at Madison Square Garden about 10 years ago. I remember the origional show was postponed because the guitarist "cut his finger"

Self Destruct 94

Father time is a cruel bastard. Lollapalooza '93 had both Tool and Rage. Though I wasn't able to see that one, I believe those two bands opened the main stage.

No Quarter and Push It were great live songs. I haven't heard Salival, but they did a good job with an extended jam-outish type version of Push It both times I saw them.

Heard stories about the two. To see them both live, same concert....*shudder*

buy it, its fucking sweet, but a tough expensive find.

NIN just played Vancouver last night. Holy fuck what a crazy show. You guys are in for a real treat. Blew the Fagility tour out of the water IMO. That was the most insane floor I've ever been on...My ears are still ringing...

That was recorded in SLC, I was there. It was amazing.

They're playing in SAC w/ Queens of the Stone Age. I was thinking about going, but almost everyone would think I'm chaperoning kids.

so its gonna be
QOTSA
then NIN's new QOTSA sounding songs.

sounds uh... great...

The NIN set sounded nothing like QOTSA. Many more old songs than new, and the new songs that were played were done with a way heavier edge. Loudest, heaviest show I've seen in years....

never heavier than the self destruct tour.

there's no way in hell unless he started drinking and doing drugs again would he ever reach the level he did during 94

Perhaps...By "in years" I meant bands I've seen in the past 2 or 3 years. Anyway you slice it it was a crazy show.

20 hours till i see them again, no one else is going?!

anyone else have a thing for goth chicks? hot ones?

That was the most out of control I've ever seen an entire arena.

The entire lawn section rushed reserved seating when NIN started, and security just said "Oh, shit!" and vanished. The lawn was a combination of swirling mosh pits and massive dirt clod fights. People were dancing and lassoing each other with the remnants of the crowd control rope. As the evening progressed, huge bonfires sprouted up all over the lawn, fed by hundreds of grease-saturated pizza boxes. It was totally pagan.

These days they'd have the SWAT in there with pepper spray and rubber bullets and hundreds of people would be in jail.

That was way out of control(in a good way), we had scored pit tickets for the the show, mainly to to be up close. My gf at the time ended up with a broken ankle during the carnage caused by rush of people into the pavillion at the beginning of NIN.

The next year at the 1992 Lollapalooza, right as Al Jorgensen and Ministry started their set, a portion of the lawn stormed past security into the pavillion, it was again pretty out of control.

Those were the "old days" at Blossom, when you could bring your own cooler, food etc into a show.

Anyone see the SLC show last night?

Best show I have ever seen...period....I love tool more than anything, but this show topped them....it was really really really fucking good

It beat the hell out of the denver filmore show last spring - maybe because the filmore is so small, they couldn't fit all the lighting in. It was fucking bad...

get tickets NOW and GO, this is a must see before you die type of concert
