Nine Inch Nails. Wow.
October 4th, 2005Last Wednesday Porter and I indulged in a little NIN. Only recently did I find out that she too was obsessed with Trent Reznor. The opening bands were alright. I don’t even know the first band’s name as they mumbled it at the end of their set. The second band was Queens of the Stone Age. But honestly, I was there for a little Nine Inch Nails. And it was awesome. He must have played the whole new album, but he certainly got in a few of my old favorites.
The crowd was such a mix of people. I couldn’t help but laugh at the people in front of me who were about 50 and only knew his new stuff. It was crazy. And to see people there who were probably my age with their children. And of course all of the goths roaming around. It was great.
This review isn’t as detailed as the WhiteStripes. Mostly because… well… these guys are superstars. And they have been playing this new set over a million concerts. They seemed more rehearsed and everything was more planned. But that didn’t make it a bad show, just less personal. Plus the venue was a little bigger. I feel like it was a good $45 spent. Thanks NIN.
