You are going to have so much fun!
You have to tell us all about it when you get home.

Did you invite Heidi to go with you????

Barb, I pretty much guarantee that you'll have a great time!! And stress won't be a problem after that show!


I've seen NIN now 4 times (Downward Spiral, Nails+Bowie, With Teeth Warm-Up-Tour, and With Teeth). Trent Reznor is SO intense, and he draws the crowd into the show. Unless you are serious moshers, stay out of the pit. It's the most vicious pit I've seen at any show - and I've seen a lot of mosh pits! On the fringe of the floor isn't bad, but IMO the best place to see the show is from the front row, first balcony.
(If you have a choice, I know most places here don't do General Admission anymore...)

But I'll have to disagree with Brandon. With Teeth was good, but I don't think it was NIN's best. I still prefer Pretty Hate Machine, then Downward Spiral (taking Closer out - too much overplay!), then With Teeth, then Broken/Fixed and The Fragile.

lol, I was thinking downward spiral might contend with With Teeth solely for the fact that it had Closer!
It is overplayed though... and I wasn't really into NiN when the earlier ablums came out, that's probably why I think WT is the best.

Brad said with Teeth is the one we are going to see tonight. No moshing for me though. I'm a little old for it! LOL! (nah, not really! just don't want to make someone cry!, it's great stress relief!) We are in the upper bowl unfortunately. The Mark has a "no moshing policy" anyway. But it still will be awesome!!!!! Heidi I'll tell ya all about it when I get home!!!!!!!! We are leaving soon it starts at 7:30! I can't wait!!!!!

You will LOVE it.
Trent Reznor is a rock GOD.
NIN is an incredible live band. You will NOT be disappointed. I saw them live for the first time back in October, and they met and exceeded the hype I was hearing from everyone I went with.
You will have to post about the show when you get home!!

I'm going to see them in less than two weeks in Lexington and Cincy, two shows back to back.
I am EXCITED.

I was SOOOOO wrong! they had general admission on the floor and WOW they were moshing so much! I was laughing because there were girls out there swinging at the BIG guys and holding their own! it was so fun!!!!!!!
AND Trent.......
What can I say???
He was absolutely georgous!!!!! tight leather pants and a black sleeveless shirt!
What a show!!!!!! Holy buckets batman! I've never seen such a light display! ( ok David Bowie's was awesome also but nothing compared to this!) They played Pinion (intro),Love Is Not Enough,You Know What You Are?,Terrible Lie,The Line Begins to Blur,Something I Can Never Have,The Frail/The Wretched,Closer,Burn,Gave Up,Eraser,Right Where It Belongs,Beside You In Time,With Teeth,Wish,Only,Every Day is Exactly the Same,The Big Come Down,Getting Smaller,Hurt,The Hand That Feeds and Head Like a Hole. In that order! I was on the edge of my seat the WHOLE time! It was great! No more stress for me!!!!!!

I'm not really familiar with their music but I know they are playing on Valentines Day in Green Bay but they said ticket sales weren't the best so far.

I've been a fan for a long time now.

Well you had fun
