Hmmm, I got some gripes to pick...

The crowd was excellent. I think the fact that there was little moshing shows a more 'in tune' crowd. There were a lot of old-schoolers out. Not so many little kids running around, which was nice. The crowd was very vocal and educated. You could tell Trent really appreciated it. He said "thank you" after just about every song. He also smiled several times during "Hurt" as the crowd roared between verses.

I missed the first band, but Queens fucking rocked. They were very much, not shitty. Their drummer is fucking amazing. I'll make sure I'm there before they go on tomorrow night in Atlanta. I want to see their whole set this time.
Beck Na$ty wrote:I also like the old band better, the new one looks like a bunch of emo goth fags. Fuck twiggy. Lohner, Finck, Clouser, etc. way different and more entertaining to watch but that's just my opinion. Would have been nice to see Jerome also instead of the newb.
And the old band didn't look like a buch of goth fags? They always have. That's their look, and I think they look cool. Sure the old band was great, but this is the new face of NIN. As any true Nails fan knows, Trent enjoys working with many new musicians. The new line-up is incredible. I am thoroughly impressed with all of them. Jeordie is the man. I saw Jerome in Germany over the summer, so I'm glad I saw Alex play. There's nothing like seeing an amazing muscian for the first time. He fucking rocked!!

If you didn't like the opening bands, you should have come to the show later. Hell, that would have left more time for drinking. Also, this is a [WITH_TEETH] tour, so of course they're going to play more material off the album. Again, this is the new face of NIN and Trent Reznor. A much more mature Trent. Hell, he must be at least 40 now, right? The new stuff sounds incredible. The live show has further stimulated my interest in the new album. Lovin' it. Keep rockin' that shit, Trent!
