ETS Tour Journal

WELCOME TO SPAIN HOME OF SPAIN.





EDIT: WHO THE FUCK CARES IF ROBIN FINCK WAS IN ATTENDANCE? STOP ASKING.

I was there. Heresy was played. The Becoming was played. During The Becoming there was a lot of cheering and afterwards Trent said "If I'd known you guys liked that song we'd play it every night".

During Piggy he jumped off staged and appeared to hand the microphone to some random spaniard, who sung a few lines of jibberish before Trent took over again.

After the opening band played, the house DJ was playing various music before NIN started. At one point he played that sound file circulating around with the colombian woman speaking in spanish about the coca crop and Opal, and the DEA...

Hurt was also played.

It was a great show.

amazing show, and i'm overwhelmed by the great job trent's doing with the next release. not to sound to cheesy, but he knows perfectly what he's doing because he's a true artist. shame i got late and didn't go to the bathroom as i planned before (even though i didn't know about the USB drive thing!), but i had to take a leak at work (tsk tsk). anyways, great energy, i didn't notice the message from the yearzero site until the spanish part came on. trent passed the mic around a few times, people screaming their heads off, i guess that must be a rush, but goddamn how people push and shove each other to blabber random stuff on a microphone.

more tonight, i got my back destroyed but it's surely worth it, i'd go to every date if i could, but i can't break the bank and not go to work for weeks. i'll try to visit the guy's pee pee room when i get there, cause you never know when you're going to find a robin finck (oh, by the way, i'm sure stefan olsdal -placebo- was there cause he's living here now, but didn't see robin anywhere).

trent, if you read these, i'll tell you one thing: genius.

great concert. wish I could do it again. The Becoming, Fragile and Terrible lie was highlights. Gave Up also shined.

It was an amazing show. I was on the second row, just in front of Aaron. They played seven songs from The Downward Spiral. After playing Heresy, Piggy, The Becoming, Deep and Help Me I`m In Hell I couldn´t be surprised anymore, but then they played The Fragile. The combination HMINH - Eraser - Reptile was amazing.

When HLAH was ending, Aaron went through the left of the stage until reaching one of the bars of La Riviera. I couldn't see what happened there, but when he came back he hadn´t his guitar anymore. A guy from the crew returned there but he could only recover the wire XD.

I still cannot believe I got The Becoming and The Fragile

when aaron left the stage he climbed the bar at the riviera he got his guitar and he opened the beer tap and spilled beer on his guitar. later his guitar strap got stuck to the beer tap. the lady attending the bar had to help him get it out, he gave his guitar to one of the fans there. lucky guy. up until hurt i was third row center right in front of trent, he threw the mic a couple of times to the crowd and yeah people went insane trying to say something to the mic. i started to feel dehidrated and felt very dizzy thats why i had to leave to the back, bought a t-shirt went to the second floor of the riviera and thats were i could see what aaron did.

before reptile trent said, this is a song for valentines day, or something like that. the hightlight of the show was defenetely fragile. the purple light, trent playing the piano. incredible.

Performance perfect - sound amazing

USB memory story amazing

My violent heart - Nothing new at first listening - Quite good afterwards... - Fucking good at the end

Year Zero is something diferent, more than music, perhaps something to think about

Reznor WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US?

Awesome show. I was second row, the sound was amazing. 01:45 show length, the band didnt take a breath. Waiting for upcoming shows.

I don´t get the USB drive thing. What are you guys talking about? The concert tapped in a USB drive or something?

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen!!!! I found out!!! I read all that stuff about Year Zero!!! I BOUGHT THAT FAMOUS T-SHIRT AND I HAVE THAT DAMNED HIDDEN MESSAGE ON MY BACK!!! I also noticed the opal story being played before the concert though not knowing what it was all about!!! 5 am and I cannot go to sleep. I've been all this week talking to my friends about the concert without knowing nothing about this shit. NOW I CAN'T THINK ABOUT ANY OTHER THING. I´ve never seen something like this. And that Presence photos are scary. Did you see that spectrum analysis from the noise at the end of 'My Violent Heart', the one Presence-shaped??? FUCKING SCARY. All this is as fake as Michael Jackson's nose, but what a tremendous theatre play Trent has made up arround the record. Sure as hell this big comedy is NIN best "performance" ever.

SOMEONE left an USB DRIVE with "My Violent Heart.mp3" at men WC.

you wondering about Aaron´s guitar?... we got it!!!

Hey,

I've posted the video of "The Fragile" performed that day.. enjoy!
