Screw every mother fucker who heckles Trent during Hurt. Has happened in Melbourne & Sydney. So fucking what if the composition is slower than what you might be used to, enjoy it! You'll only get to hear it this way once or twice....
Don't get me wrong, I didn't think they were great. But Death From Above and Autolux aren't exactly "NIN-like" and people seem to be looking forward to them. I just thought it was crap that a lot of people had decided that they wouldn't give them a chance before they even walked out. If you don't like it, walk up to the bar and get another drink.mark_iss wrote:hehehe, crowd coulda got into it more. ive seen crowds better in this way in shitty local gigs. the band were awsome, but dont talk up bird blobs, he couldnt sing, the guitars were over the toply discordant and they were pretty out of time. they were the wrong band to pick to support NINE INCH NAILS. But thats too negative for such a wonderful night. He was very thankful of us, and that bit in hurt where "he fucked up", he seemed to just impro around a bit on one of the verse bars, like, change a couple of notes, so i dont know if you could call it another stuff up. Awsome, except the wankers spoiling the mood of hurt with their immature "trent, have my baby" calls. Someone shoulda got a setlist, lets see a post of it.

Yeah great show. A huge amount of goths and a large amount of ditzy chicks. Here are my favouritte quotes from the stupid teeny boppers, if only because of their stupidity:
"Play it again!" - after Closer
"Take off your shirt!" - Can you say lame?
"Thats the only song I know" - After The Hand That Feeds
"Is this a Sabbath song?" - As Trent says the first few lines of Dead Souls
"I liked Trent before anyone else did. When he made The Broken Spiral" - Went all the way down to roffle town with that one.
Shh, don't say that here. If you don't know every word to every song you don't deserve to be a fanMini_Twilight wrote:lol this isn't timaley...and i have to admit i didn't know half of the songs he played cos i only recently got into nin.. but i don't pretend to be a hardcore fan or anything like that.

hey6, what happend to the sorta biggish guy that stage dived, did he make it past the barrier or what? did he get drilled?fragileprincess wrote:i saw the syd show on friday night, just reading all your posts now...
i thought it was awesome also, i was front row, centre! and apart from still nursing some bruises from the barrier, i can say the show has left a major impact on me![]()
i too heard the crowd go quieter when they played burnbut in between being squashed by security gueards, tried to sing along!
i was not only right underneath the freak that tried t stage dive, I was also just to the side when trent himself came into the crowd...wow
i can barely sleep, im STILL excited that i touched him
i hope your brother was ok.fragileprincess wrote:i dont knowt know where the stage diver came from...first I saw of him was him jumping off the stage and crashing into my brother who was next to me.....he kindaly cut my brothers finger open - that was nice of him!
have no idea where he came from though...!
that sucks.fragileprincess wrote:the guy was big and fat and hairy! luckily we were right on the barrier at the front, so my brother just let his hand flop over the bar.....and drip blood all over the floor!!
but we had no-where to go at that stage, so just stood it out
i had never been at the front for anything....i was proud i lasted the distance seeing as there seemed to be sme pushy boys behing me who thought that they could push a girl outta the way! i showed them
mind you, i think that could be why i had chewing gum stuck in my hair!!!
I was right up the front for the whole gig (not that I had a choice to move with the crush), and can confirm from chatting with the security guards pre-show that it was 5500.kharn4324 wrote:The hordern aint that big.mark_iss wrote:it was probably a sellout, just like nin.com said it would be. serves you naysayers right for beleiving in yourselves and your corporations too much now that you look like fools for doubting nins intentions. a sellout horden is 9000 i hear, but others say 8000, seing as it was packed id say the former.
It has a 5500 person capacity for GA events like this, thats why theres 2 sydney shows.

Was NIN the first famous band you have ever met? When I met the KMFDM crew for the first time, I was the same way for days. Now that I’ve met them a couple of times I’m not so distracted by it.fragileprincess wrote:Possibly lame....
I dont know if anyone else feels this way, but....
I have always been addicted to NIN, however after meeting them and seeing the show on Friday.....I am totally consumed by them....having trouble working and concentrating and that sort of thing..
kinda freaking me out..!!!
Yeah, i'd be keen to get a hold of this as well.fragileprincess wrote:
Did anyone hear trent on JJJ this morning? i cant find any transcripts or downloads from the jjj site :/ boo
HAHAHAHA yeah that wallet was fucking hilarious! Who the heck would be like 'NIN eh? Here, have a cruddy wallet!' haha well I spose I was, and im keepin it too. And the tie steyed on all concert! I was super shocked. Still got it in its freaky reeking state, and its stayin that way. It can hang out with the crappy wallet haha.rammsteinlurker wrote:LOL @ the manson wallet. stupid surprise stuff on ebay. not worth bidding on. The tie, i just found that in the park walking there :]
Haha, the rip-off shirt girl was cool, she gave me dirties but the next day i saw her, she was all cool about it.
Hey, am I the rip of shirt girl that you're talking about? I don't remember giving anyone dirties...sorry if I did, I didn't mean to!!!

Nah, my names not Emily. Its Jacinta.rammsteinlurker wrote:Is your name emily? I was the guy saying to the big dude behind you (that went to my uni) to tell you that your shirt had an hotmail address on it!
I know who you mean, saw her there both nights. Really beautiful, must be a girlfriend (lucky bitch) , didn't look like a typical female NIN fan/groupie. She was standing with Jerome talking to him at the aftershow party. She had an American accent. I think that the band is in to the groupie scene. There were a ton at the afterparty and I heard them inviting girls to the hotel they were staying at.samiam wrote:One last bit before i drop for the night.

go to Utopia. They often get concert T's in after big shows. Of course I'm sure you would have gone there anyway.fragileprincess wrote:mmm
thanks for the advice re the sizes...in general im a medium for 99% of things, so unless the shirts are made for linsday lohan and the gang, the medium should fit me...might try to find a shop in syd that has some i can try on and buy there
dopefinger - going there this week...ive recently moved offices and im down near circular quay now - its a bit of a hike, so i did a walk test yesterday haha im also going to raid their NIN stock and just buy everything i dont have...must feed this obsessionDopefinger wrote:go to Utopia.

It's inhumane not to like pods. Your 'source' is wrong, even though his name starts with J and rhymes with Roadie.naut wrote:Dude, are you sure? Because MY SOURCE says he doesnt even LIKE Pods.
Yeah, a friend is coming here in a week or so. A week until I get my pod fix *is giddy* I still have four Le Rice puddings that I'm saving up. Btw Woolworths' Carrot cake kicks ass. And it's less than two dollars. w00t. Okay, this belongs in the australian thread I believe.naut wrote:I am sure if you ask nicely someone will send you a Pod Package!

no i just didn't think many other people knew and was wondering if i knew them.
I knew where they were staying but that didn't mean I had any inclination to go there or hang around or tell other people or try be their best friend.Lou Lou wrote: no i just didn't think many other people knew and was wondering if i knew them.
Amen._precious_whore_ wrote: Sometimes the music really is enough...
I agree with that too, I was feeling really jealous before at all the people who got to meet them etc, but really I felt so satisfied after the concert that today when i think about it, it was truely enough. Everything they played I enjoyed and they still hold the trophy for my favourite band._precious_whore_ wrote:Sometimes the music really is enough...
you licked him? please explainElissa wrote:I think that this one was my favourite of the 3 I went to.
Mainly because my hands went wandering up his thigh for a few seconds and I licked him:P But, in all seriousness, I really enjoyed it the most. The Starfuckers thing was funny.
i wasn't referring to the choice of songs performed on the night. and "the big comedown" was something that i'd been really hoping for before the show (pretty much as soon as the melbourne show ended) and i was so fucking happy that they played it.the_wretched_piggy wrote: It was an intense show, but probably my least favourite out of the three (NIN concerts) that i went to this month.

smilgurb wrote:First mother fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!
edit: er, just got back. Setlist was much the same as melbourne but they didnt play love is not enough and TDTWWA....maybe some others.
They played The big comedown.....and my brain's to mush to remember what else was different to melbourne.
Before I crash i'd just like to say Trent was so much more into it in Sydney and the crowd shit all over the Melbourne crowd..........and my dad can beat your dad up in a fight.
he "fucked up" during starfuckers and blamed the crowd for not clapping in time. funny stuff.
Trent didnt 'fuck up', somehow there are a bunch of people that go to concerts that dont have the basic concept of a steady rythym, yet feel the need to clap at inappropriate moments. For example, in hurt and star fuckers, there are parts where the music breaks down, and the rythym becomes more free; there are slight fluctuations in tempo. Trent as a performer needs to construct the rythym as he feels it during those momnets. It would be quite irritating if you were trying to feel a song while performing and there was a bunch of people clapping, all out of time with each other especially for such a simple rythym; 1,2 1,2 etc. I wouldnt be suprised if some of it came from confusion that people couldnt get such a simple thing as clapping in time.
It might also suggest that there are people that arent really connecting with him. For example: trent is singing a more moody sombre number. He is in a real heartfelt moment. Some stupid audience members whos favorite song is 'i wanna fuck you like an animal' get impatient and clap along, but theyre not clapping to the music, theyre not listening and responding to the music, theyre are clapping for themsleves, they wanna hurry up and hear the good stuff off their favorite 'album' broken.
Just found it strange to read that you would side with a bunch of idiots that cant clap a basic rythym. I thought it was great Trent did that.(stopped the show) I was also irritated. It was fucking ridiculous. It's not hard to clap in time. And we all know the place wasnt full of nin fans, now days at concerts there seems to be a large group of people that go just because a concert is on like it's the fucking easter show or something. Come enjoy the music, its for everyone, but dont ruin it for others.![]()
(Did any one hear during hurt people calling out, 'get on with it'!! or 'play some real music'???
also possibly hearing at the same gig, it's about time when closer starts. Or on the second night... "get back on the drugs trent"
however this was followed by "shut the fuck up" rather quickly, well done.)
Dorepoll wrote:It's strange though, because in a lot of songs Trent was encouraging the crowd to clap, especially in The Hand That Feeds, where Trent was clapping too.
Then again, Jeordie did the "cut it" sign across his neck when the song fucked up, so it could have been staged, but I doubt it.
Elissa wrote:You can't stage something when it's the audience that's doing it??
Anyway.. Stuff like that happens, and people just clap on the wrong beats. Big deal. I thought it was pretty amusing. I don't want to be rude or anything, but I thought it was funny.
i do believe that is a sin on this boardcam6389 wrote:though i didn't know the lyrics to hurt
