Bauhaus was new to me, but it sounded really damn good. Even though the electricity went out for a sec....
Nails was on it and they played what I wanted to hear. Highlights for me? HMIAIH, SD, GDML, and def Down In It.
Oh, and catching Jeordie's water bottle still half full after barly missing the tamborine was pretty cool. I was thirsty.
On the other hand, People really suck and sometimes I feel like stabbing them with rusty sporks! The last three NIN shows I've been to, there are these sorry-ass fucks who show up after everyone else has been standing in line for hours and just mosey right up to the front. One is a big fat blonde dude and the other is a skinny chick. Both are from outside the country. Let me just sum up TRUE line etiquette.
You can hold someone's place in line if, say, they are going to the bathroom or to get a drink. Holding someone's place in line for the whole day because they don't want to wait in line is unacceptable and really tends to piss people off. If you want a good spot in the line, then BE in the line. You fucks know who you are and you have a nice warm spot in Hell waiting for you.
Then, I get into the pit and have to stand behind two tall, emotionless assholes that apparently buy GAPit tickets to stand there with their arms crossed and stare at Trent and Co. like they were a display in a fucking strip mall. really sucked the energy out of myself and probably the band.
Here I am, jumping and dancing to every tune, and the "glimmer twins" just standing there like it's a fucking Kenny G concert. Get a life and leave those incredible tickets to someone who actually wants to experience the show, not just trying to get yet another crappy cell phone shot of the band.
FUCKS!!!!!!
I somewhat agree.hellspawn288 wrote:That's funny, I never said the pit should be dangerous. I just said people should look like they are into the music and give energy back to the band.
Over half the people in the 300 person capacity pit were not even dancing.
I'm sorry, but if you are in a pit, standing and smiling just doesn't cut it.
There are always seats in the back for old people and pussies.....
Whatever dude. I saw Exotic Birds and didn't even know it until 3 years later. I saw NIN in '89. I still have my "Hate" shirt. I saw them at the Newport with Die Warzau and Chemlab. I was at Lollapalooza at Blosom and lifted the barrier to open the pit. I was at the show his dog died at. I was in the pit a Woodstock... blah, blah, blah, blah.... It's not about whoose dick is biggest. The problem is most people aren't even old enough to have been in a real pit. You get the knuckleheads with the Abercrombie gear on skanking, swinging their arms trying to hurt people - that ain't a pit - that's fucking stupid. For every one person that knows pit etiquette (there is such a thing), there's five jugheads tackling you in the back or kicking you in the head. And that fucks things up for everyone. So I was actually pretty content to jump up and down in my space and keep it cool.dj2faan wrote: ( does 21 concerts over a 17 year span sound hard core ?) Yeah that's me... I had a 1991 Now Im Nothing shirt.
T(I)NC wrote:Hey, I went to every single one of those concerts you mentioned too!...cool, huh. Even the pit at Woodstock. Would you say that his Down in It there was the craziest performance ever?dj2faan wrote: ....I saw NIN in '89. I still have my "Hate" shirt. I saw them at the Newport with Die Warzau and Chemlab.

If you have any recent info on Warzau or Chemlab, lemme know.
And mentioning those things is not about whose dick is bigger, but about experience giving some weight to your opinion, that's all .
Yeah I know 'pit etiquette' is a thing of the past and you'd rather not have those whacks you mentioned, but..... to see motionless dweebs 10 feet from the stage? COME ON, for god's sake. I wish I could know TR's opinion on that one, from a performers perspective. How many crowd surfers all night? I remember one, maybe two? Whats with that?
Heck, even jumping up and down is ok.
But to just stand there, and to top it off, get all pissy when I'm jumping up and down ? (And at my age it's never anything crazy, just a little bumping and pushing to go with it).
I'm sorry but if you're that sensitive and that lazy, or that passionless, you don't belong in the pit. Atleast scream, sway, anything! Or like I said...get out and stuff your face in the food court
Oops, I think that was us. Sorry !. I think I just seemed louder cuz no one else was singing!Becoming wrote:I
And I don't mind people singing along I think it's great band support, but if your drunken or tonedeaf please just sing soft(refering to the 2 husky gentlemen in the back left-center.
c you at indy.
At this show and Detroit I saw a guy- could be the same guy- taping with a professional video camera. That's so great about your friend!trazcure wrote: It's a shame that it seems these shows aren't going to be recorded for the upcoming DVD, as this summer tour seems the most amazing production wise.
My friend had his first NIN concert and called it "the best" of all he seen and he is very unfamiliar with NIN. This was my seventh and possibly the best, I just wish the crowd was more enthused. The nice girls who sat by us, I am not sure who you are but I hope I kept my promise and didn't flail wildly and bump into you ^_^.
See you in Indianapolis for the grand finale of my entire With Teeth tour experience.
aint that the pits.LucidReality wrote:The pits are not what they use to be

Die Warzau - Convience
Chemlab - Oxidizer
BTW, I was the guy in the pit with the "Capitalism Stole My Virginity" shirt on.
I understand what you are saying here and I agree with you. Trust me, I'm not giving shit to anyone for not "getting into it," I'm just saying that - for me - part of the excitement of NIN has always been the very obvious enthusiasm of the crowd. I'm certain a lot of people soaked in the energy like a sponge and had the greatest times of their lives - and that's fantastic. My friend who said it was "the best" wasn't nearly as enthusiastic as my other friend that I have taken to almost every show (but couldn't make this one) - and I think that's great. This is just the first show I've been to where people seemed to treat the show (at least from where I was) as if it was something normal or... how do I put it... a "safe" activity. I'm thrilled other people liked the show but, for me, it would have been much better had Columbus had the same fire and obvious enthusiasm as the other shows I've been to. For me, if the crowd was there it would have most definitely blown away anything I've seen prior to this. I can only hope Indy embraces NIN with the same fervor as the shows I seen prior to Columbus.bardozuul wrote:I understand about the band feeding off energy from the crowd and to a certain extent that's a valid point, but I don't think you should take anything away from people who don't get into physical motion as part of their enjoyment. People get into things in different ways. In general I think I get into shows physically more than a lot of people, less than others of course. But if you want to be honest about it, if you're jumping all around like a maniac you're not listening to the music as closely as you could be. I also think the crowd has the opportunity to give energy back to the band between songs by clapping/screaming/cheering etc. I've got no problem with people dancing, especially in the pit. And yes, if you're in the pit you should expect a bit of contact. But I don't think anyone should have to take shit for not "getting into it" regardless of where their seats are.
That makes about as much sense as a football bat....bardozuul wrote: But if you want to be honest about it, if you're jumping all around like a maniac you're not listening to the music as closely as you could be.

That is TOO funny. I pulled the guy aside to stand by me just to get him to shut the fuck up, but that didn't work. He did end up in the pit. And that security guard was a true PRICK. If it was not for my wife keeping my slightly intoxicated ass in line, I was about to introduce the bottom of my boot to his dog shit face.Becoming wrote:I just have to comment on this show a wee bit more...
2.) The guy who weaseled his way into the pit during the beginning of the fragile, and the security guard that was elping him try to find his supposed gf that had his ticket although he had no fucking wristband, basically he was full of fucking shit and the loudmouth dumbfuck security guard wouldn't shut the fuck up... well he let the guy stay. I seriously was about to skullfuck the shit outta both of them, and I was thinking trent was too.
that be me! camo shorts and a grey t-shirt... and my gf is short as fuck, blonde hair.travisev wrote:hey becoming-
if you are who i think you are, i was directly behind you. were you dancing and singing with your girlfriend directly infront of you? while the pit was definitely lackluster having a couple people near singing along and into it just as much as i was made it ok.
