    I always found cute the way Mr. Reznor starts to jump excitedly. That is singing with passion!

    This performance is absolutely unhinged, which perfectly fits the mood of an equally, if not more, unhinged song.

    I've always been kind of a fan of Nine Inch Nails but I never even seen a video of them performing at all. I just watched one this morning for the first time and it was amazing. I'm hooked. I went from being the occasional fan to being a die-hard in a matter of less than 4 minutes

      I remember seeing them back in 2000. I only bought a ticket because A Perfect Circle was opening for them and I was a die hard Mer De Noms fan. I ended up being kinda disappointment in APC's live performance and absolutely blown away with the NIN set. I looked at them in a whole new light after that and have been a huge fan ever since.

    • @papl00papl00
      @papl00papl00 3 роки тому +3

      I had a similar experience Rob Mueller - loved the band, consumed the albums and was hooked but deep down I knew that the material would be difficult to play live and I didn't really want to go there. I purchased the live album when I found the cd in a CEX and even then I put off listening to it for months. When I finally did I was blown away - next I went to UA-cam etc... what the band do with their tracks live I feel is unique and you can tell the work that they put in, it's crazy. I can't think of another band that do so much more to their songs to breathe new life or give them a different slant when they play live.

    This performance is beyond incredible... Visceral, strong, angry, cathartic, brutal, a slice of madness and frustration that everyone feels! Must be an incredible experience to just step out on a stage and hit everyone with it. NIN are that band, a collective of heavy emotion and delivery that supercede the best of music in so many ways. Sublime talent.

      There never is at a NIN concert. He doesn't catch many new fans most have grown with him and thus the demo. is age 30-50 avg. Like I was 30 at the PHX show a month ago and every one was late 30's or older for the most part. I could barely jump around. EVERY seat was filled but the pit was a little light. Most ppl who go to his shows are getting to old or have been too rough on their bodies... Everyone sees OOOOOOLD Woodstock, etc footage and think that's still what it is.... NNNOOOOOOOOOOOPE it's like an art show with ppl standing and admiring one of the greatest artists of all time and don't want to miss a thing he does.

      Lance Seaman i would die to see that, my parents listened to NIN alot when i was young and about two years ago i started listening to them and i couldnt of been happier to find them, Trent is extremely talented in so many ways, and his music is absolutely outstanding in my opinion, makes me wish i was born in 1979 instead of 04, but im glad NIN impacted me as much as it did, if it werent for them I’d probably be dead.

    This looks like it was an awesome show . Seen nin once during with teeth tour and going again for the last show of the tour this year .This is one of my fav non songs and this is by far of videos I’ve watched the best of this song , didn’t play this song when at concert I went to so I do hope it’s played when I go in sept. Rock is prob my fav music although I like a wide variety of music even some classical ,80s , Christian hard rock heavy metal like Underoath , and big muse fan , Pink Floyd and zeppelin, slipknot. But nin has always been my favorite by far . For me nothing even comes close. Trent is so talented amazing voice musical genius and Ike rdj an inspiration for overcoming what he has in personal life . All songs are so powerful in different ways.His voice can while working out get me pumped or when getting intimate with my fiancé and turns me on and some r so powerful that can bring me to tears music and lyrics even songs without lyrics like a warm place. I’m so excited to see Trent again live and with my fiancé it’ll be his 3rd concert ,Eminem and candle box( the only show we’ve gone too since been together ) I’ve been to so many concerts thou and again favorite was nin. It may not be fiancé’s cup of tea or favorite type of music he’s more of a rap fan . But he knows how much I love nin and how much seeing them means to me I can’t wait to experience and share it with him, Trent’s talent his voice lyrics even his stage presence it’s like an out of body experience. And him knowing how much it means to me I know he’ll enjoy it as well . And hopefully after finally seeing live he’ll have more appreciation for the music. He tells me that I was either born in wrong decade or that I’m and older soul in an younger body (38) with the music I like. But I don’t mind personally I feel it’s hard to find good music no a days and most of it I don’t even know if I consider it music . But nin continues to make amazing music heck even enjoy the music made for movies mainly with David Fincher .

    • @littlenicci713
      @littlenicci713 Рік тому

      In addition to my long ass comment read someone else’s comment yes Trent doesn’t scream as much now that he s little older . And I will say I will miss that but even so still to me nothing compares to Trent live . But that is one reason I told fiancé had to see a show this tour .

    TR to The Sphere: "Where the fuck were you?" 😂 I'd pay to see a limited amount of shows. Regardless, NIN has been the best live performance band I"ve ear seen. Time to hear Hersey.

      nah not unless you're at the gig - The Fragile is v layered soundscapes, with their sparse instruments they can't do the warm textured sound and the detail.
