just saw NINJA....No contest who the real band is. It was an off night for Trent, weird setlist too. Jane's, on the other hand, was all meat and potatoes. Eric Avery is the most underrated musician. Hands down one of the all-time great rock bands.
score is now 1-1, last night belonged to NIN. i read a couple of reviews of the camden show - some loved it, others noticed that something was off for trent & co. not so last night - they came out and melted faces. janes was good, although it felt like they were going through the motions a little. dave seemed to spend more time intereacting with the hotties in the front row than with the band. perry is a great front man, was in his element, but the lack of a GA pit hurt the energy level and interaction with the crowd. on the other hand, no pit allowed me to be 4 feet away from the stage (all hail the efforts of thedirector and callat703 for making that happen - absolutely ridiculous seats). the missus, who is just young enough to have missed JA's heyday, didn't quite know what to make of perry. visually, she compared him to an old-school french gay porn star. i think he'd take that as a compliment
street sweeper were, once again, thoroughly enjoyable. morello has totally come in to his own as a guitarist. attn NYC'ers: their album launch party is june 16th at the gramercy theater. wish i could make it.
