good lord and gravy, what can i say? i'm in love with what i saw! nin f-ing rule, hands down. now i know . . . this is a bold statement, but the visual orgasm they put on at mci can only be toppled by a pink floyd show. trent was so on fire that he melted my synaptic gaps, and the images portrayed on the silk screen made me cream my jeans. am i allowed to say that? thank you for floor tickets, and thank you for the eclectic fans that left me staring too long at everyone. trent's been hitting the weights as well, because what a bod he has become; good lord, i feel like a giddy school girl. now i know what a f-ing awesome concert experience is!! and queens of the stone age rocked, too.

is he still doing the stuff projected onto a screen sheet in front of the stage? he was doing that 11+ years ago.
-
Great rock show! The band that he has backing him now I think is the best one he has ever had.
-
First time witnessing the glory of NIN live. I creamed my pants as well. Just unbelieveable, nearly put me to tears. Anyone got a setlist, wasn't to sure on some of the early QOTSA songs.
-
i was not that good. if a male yells at trent "i love you" during the johnny cash song does that make him gay?
-
i really don't understand the fascination with NIN.

WHAT? I can't hear you over that racket!!!

It was my first time seeing them also. Seeing as though I've had a crush on Trent Reznor since I was 14...it was worth the wait. For the music, and to watch him on stage. My tits get hard just thinking about that show last night....

i'm saving my cream for four skinny Glaswegians wearing suits...

how were Death from Above? I didn't make it to the show until late into QOTA set.
But yeah, the stage set / lighting setup for NIN was great.
And twiggy (dunno his real name) is a total spaz on stage.
-
Well I can't say that I creamed my pants or my tits got hard, but the girlfriend and I enjoyed the show very, very much. It was great finally going to a concert that was one of her favorite bands. Usually, it's bands I want to see. She had a blast all night, and I had a great time also seeing them for the first time.

Are you kidding me? Jeordie (Twiggy) was just kinda looking lost on stage walking in circles. You wanna talk about a spaz, talk about Aaron, the guitarist. Pretty obvious from the end of trashing the amp cabinet, his guitar, and the drumset too! Jeordie just kinda put his bass down when everyone else threw gear all around!
Trent was in a great mood and said he felt it was going to be a really good show. They had the day off before and he basically was geeking out setting up a mobile studio. The one he had on the bus wasn't working shit all over the place and way to hot.
Gave mad props to the 930 Club as well as Chemlab, but this is the best thing that made me giddy like a schoolgirl (or I guess cream my pants which you all keep saying)

I know I'm in the minority, but I personally though QOTSA kicked NIN's ass. Not that NIN weren't great...for what they are, it's a solid show. But QOTSA (IMO) are better musicians and to me their music is darker and more unsettling. Now before people jump on me, that is only an opinion. You can make arguments for the f-ed up genius of Trent, and that's cool. Trent is dark, he feels your pain, I get it. He partially filled the void left by Kurt Cobain for a lot of folks. But to me QOTSA's music is more intricate, blues, punk, and sick in the vein of what great rock'n'roll should be. There's no gimmick...they just function like a well-oiled machine.
Of course, I really enjoyed the first half of NIN's set until I was cursed by the drunk people taking photos on their cell phones, TALKING on their cell phones (one guy: "DUDE, I'M AT A CONCERT, I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW...DUDE, THAT'S F-ED UP!!" and then proceeded to talk to his buddy), bumping into me, and just being obnoxious as hell. Then there was the drunk blonde with the horny short long-haired Asian guy. They were all over each other like stink on crap, and it was just a gross spectacle. No matter where I tried to go it just became difficult to enjoy the music and hang out. Thank God I was left in peace for QOTSA. Great show.

I'll never forget the first news report I ever saw on NIN. It was around the time of their video for "Up Above it" (I think that was the name), which looks like a grainy snuff film. Anyway, the tape was lost somehow, and when it was found, the police thought it was real and had some investigation about it.
Long story short, I'll never forget the reporter's opening line when he taped a segment from a NIN show: "Nine Inch Nails? Sounds more like Nine Inch Noise!"

I thought it was a good show.
QOTSA are suffering from the loss of Nick. I really miss his element, but I still think they're technically brilliant. And I agree with what was said before - the mix of music, between blues and rock and some rockabilly...it has this really creepy cabaret goth vamp vibe to it that is much darker than people give it credit for.
DFA1979 bores the shit out of me. The guy can sing, but I don't understand why people are so excited about them.
And NIN. All in all, I thought they were great. But I don't know that I'd go to see them again. The visuals were very impressive, the band was tight, and the energy was certainly there. The video projection was cool. But I don't know - something about it just didn't blow me away. I've been a fan of the band for years and years now, and hadn't seen them live before.
Maybe something about it seems a bit contrived at this point - Reznor is 40 and sober. I think I had a hard time buying into the angst from songs he wrote 15 years ago.
I thought the new stuff, however, was some of the best of the show, despite being from a weaker album. It seemed a lot more vital.

Callat703, good call on the missing Nick. My favorite time I've seen QOTSA is in San Francisco in 2003...they were like a machine of destruction and Nick adds that chaotic element. Plus, think about how many classic songs he sings: "Quick and to the Pointless", "Tensionhead", "Ode to Clarissa", etc. He adds that punk rock element that makes them more dangerous. Though they're still an awesome band, Nick was the rocket fuel in their sound and I just don't think you could top that.
