Can someone upload Fixed or FDTS?I seem to be missing those.

[QUOTE=PeEpHoLe_10]Nice first concert to go too. Mine was APC last year. Did they play 'The Great Below' At Melbourne? I really really wanted to see that live. Also, I wanted to see 'We're in this together' too. There was too much stuff from With Teeth in there.[/QUOTE]

This is the set list from Melbourne:
wish
sin
line begins to blur
march of the pigs
something i can never have
hand that feeds
with teeth
terrible lie
burn
closer
reptile
home
the frail
the wretched
dead souls
suck
love is not enough
the day the world went away
gave up
hurt
you know what you are
star ****ers
head like a hole

It rocked my socks however they didnt play la mer or just like you imagined which are easily my 2 favourite NIN songs... oh well we got reptile. God i know why they have been called the best live band in the world, they were just incredible!

You know what you are is AWESOME live.

[QUOTE=G_Mac07]I'm seeing them tomorrow night in Brisbane. I've been waiting so long for this, I can't wait!

EDIT: Who opened at the shows you guys saw. I think I saw two bands listed to play 2 shows each. In Brisbane we get The Hollow, so if anyones seen them, would they care to inform me on what they are like?[/QUOTE]


Well, The Follow opened at the show i was at. You probably just finished seeing them right at this point so my thoughts on them would be useless, but still i thought they were okay. They had some really cool songs, but some prett average ones too. And i got very turned off when the singer said ' My voice has been kinda broken lately cos im sick, and so has my heart,this songs called No Romance".

Also, how different does Trent look with a shaved head?I couldnt get over it. And how frickin muscley is he.

what?? shaved head??!! do you have a picture? wanna see it ...

i love nin but they were terrible live when i saw them

well, with this haircut he looks not like the 'former' trent reznor, its weird, but its ok.
he looks much younger now. like a 20year old singer from a punk-band :D but its still trent reznor.

hm.. maybe their hairshampoo was over and they told trent... cut your hairs or your long hairs will get fatty :D

@med57: you are right... not enough TDS-songs

The show last night was [i]fu[size=2]cking[/size][/i] brilliant. I'm so glad I got to finally see them. I couldn't believe how Trent looked when he first came on stage though, I really wasn't expecting a shaved head. It was also kinda funny watching a rather muscular looking guy sing Hurt. Anyway, it was awesome.

btw, The Follow were really average as an opening band I thought. And I disliked the vocalist a lot. It seemed as though he was trying way to hard to have any stage presence, and it didn't come off naturally at all.

I saw NIN in Sydney on the Friday night, was a excellent show, The Bass line for "With Teeth" is awesome!

Luckily 'The followed' didnt open on friday night, I saw them at the Excelsior hotel and they were CRAP! except for one song.

I went to The Official NIN After Party last night as well, and its was pretty good. Until the Surprise act turned out to be The Follow :lol:

Haha,yeah The Follow, i think COULD be a decent band. They have some potential. The lead guitarist had a few cool little solo things going on and there were some okay songs,but a fair few bad ones too.

[QUOTE=repcak]i wouldn't say it is the best, but i like it ... a lot of people who heard it were disappointed (and 5years ago they were disappointed about the fragile, cause the hoped trent will make a 2nd the downward spiral)
now they all are disappointed about with_teeth and i can't understand that... its a great record. i am sure that in 2years everybody will like it... c'mon with_teeth is something new, a new sound a new feeling. trent reznor is 40yrs old and he changed; he lives another life than 5yrs ago and therefore you can't expect anohter TDS-record[/QUOTE]

I agree with this to an extent, but I have allowed been able to appreciate some of the songs on with teeth after seeing them performed live. Love is not enough, the line begins to blur, you know what you are and THTF were all brilliant live. Witha Teetha is still kind of stupid, but then again so was big man with a gun...maybe its the album's sense of humour. Nonetheless there are still some songs that i just can not get into because of the lyrics, the collector and sunspots as well as all the love in the world spring to mind immediately.

BTW was anyone at the second Sydney show? ****ing brilliant stuff...even though i missed the first 45mins because of traffic :upset:

^^^
Yeah i was there. I practiacally missed the first 45 minutes of the show because of me being in the 'pit'. I spent more attention on trying to stay standing up rather then watching the show. I eventually went and sat down though.

nice review man

i read the review and its fantastic. great work.
after turning off the computer i will take my TDS cd and will listen to it once more. you mentioned things i haven't seen before.

ps.: i am making a website (about me) and on the top of it, you will be able to read 2 lines: "god is dead and no one cares, if there is a hell i'll see you there" -nin/heresy. its one of my favourites nin-lyrics ever. i love it.

I love that song " The Hand that Feeds."

Check this link for an interesting take on the end of the downward spiral
[url]http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?p=364863&highlight=#364863[/url]
the guy who wrote it asked Trent if his idea was correct at the meet and greet at the recent sydney concert and Trent said he was pretty much spot on.... Interesting!

Current favourite NIN Lyric is from The Wretched
The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And god himself will reach his ****ing arm
Through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down

wow that's really interesting.

yesterday after reading the review of med57 i listened to TDS once again. i released that the melody of the downward spiral and hurt is similar: in tds-song is divided in 3parts -> 1) sad melody 2) after 2min the melody gets "happier" and afterwards trents shouts and you hear the lyrics. ok; when you remember the two (first!) notes of the piano and play hurt you will hear the two notes again!
its weird,only two notes. i heard the two songs hundred of times and never realised this.

When I recently listened to TDS (song) I realised the melody is kinda familliar to me.Are you sure It's because of Hurt.

NP-Hurt

[QUOTE=stinkydink]I love that song " The Hand that Feeds."[/QUOTE]

I despise it. I wish they would write songs like they did on The Fragile and The DOwnward Spiral. 90s rock is better than 80s New Wave!!!

I Like.....
 

- They are really talented, I like the songs "Closer", "Perfect Drug", and "Something I Can Never Have".

But he's off drugs now, and he also doesn't have that pure self-hatred he used to.

So... What I got from this whole thing is...

Self-Hating, Anorexic, Druggie > Buff, Happy, Straight Edge guy

[QUOTE=Nobuo>>>>=God]When I recently listened to TDS (song) I realised the melody is kinda familliar to me.Are you sure It's because of Hurt.[/QUOTE]
No, it's because there's a motif shared between TDS, the song, and Closer. Listen closer (punzzlolz) and you'll recognize it.

Eh, most of the album isn't like that at all. He went in a different direction, and he'll also go in a different direction in future material. I did prefer his operatic concept albums more, but With Teeth is no less a great CD. The Fragile was an achievment he should never try to replicate anyway, because he won't be able to.

After seeing these guys live my love for them has really started to grow.

I am going to see nine inch nails on november 17 in calgary. can anyone give me an idea how good their live show is and what I am in for?

hm, yes, but listen to the last song of the with teeth record. the last words he is saying is: "but its still in me". i think he is happy, he "won" the fight against his depressions etc. but he know exactly, that you can't erase 30years of your life. his whole life he hated himself and only in the last few years its got better and better, but for how long?!
once he said in an interview (short before the tour) that the tour-life is a different one than the life at home. he wasn't sure if he will be able to stay off drugs. so, we will see in what a condition he will be when the wt-tour will be over.

november the 17th? wow... one day after my 20th birhtday :D !! to the show: you won't be disappointed. his shows are ****ing great, i saw them on june 14th and it was the best concert i saw in my life. its a very intensive experience.

well happy belated birthday then haha...alright thanks...anything else you can think of that I should look forward to please do so tell me. and plus queens of the stone age(fav band) will be there as well! :D

^^^
If you can, get right up the front. Reznor (as far as i know) always goes into the crowd for the end of Piggy and holds the mic out for someone in the crowd to sing. That would rule. And also, when i saw then a week ago tonight he threw his guitar into the crowd.


*Welcomes self to thousands life,lol*

yeah, first row will be great. i was 3rd row at the concert: 2metres beside me he throw his black dean guitar into the crowd and the guitarist destroyed his red fender ot the last song (gave up) and throw the guitar-neck into my direction; i had it in my hands, but about 7other fans wanted the neck too, so i got only the g-string :D :D

but be aware: to be in the first row is really hard. i even wanted to go away after 3 songs, cause i really thought i will die there. everybody from behind is pushing you forward and for a short time i couldn't breathe. so if you are strong and tall go for the first row, if you are weak and small think of it twice.

@peephole_10: i never heard that trent is going to the peoples and let someone sing along... it wasn't the case at my concert; but they didn't play 'piggy' :upset:
to the destroyd instruments: he destroyed (at my concert) 5micros; 3guitars, 2keybords and hundreds of waterbottels :D
