arm-wrestle henry rollins, that fucker got ripped...his 'roid rage showed during and after 'gave up' 
As for Trent getting pissed off at the tech guy... I was kind of close and apparently when Trent's microphone went out during Gave Up, it threw him into some kind of a rage. First he threw a water bottle at the sound board people (or whatever the fuck they are) and then when the rodent who runs around switching out mics in between songs went to switch out Trent's mic, he pushed him down and literally kicked him off the stage. That sent the crowd into a frenzy. Then, the whole show came to a brief pause and Trent said they were experiencing technical difficulties. He also said he was going to kick somebody’s ass and that they hired a bunch of incompetents. Also, someone heckled Trent during Hurt yelling out for him to “just go for it” and a small fight almost broke out when someone else took offence. The crowd quickly silenced both of them. Other then that I'd say it was an average NIN concert. It felt like Fragality 3.0 - special effects. Which isn't that bad...poorbabydan wrote:In the middle of the Closer. Some girl, got ontop of someones shoulders and started showing off her huge fake tits. Jeordie was looking straight at her, he started laughing really hard for like 5 min. When it came time for him to sing backup "help me" he came up to the micraphone and just started laughing into it. It was fucking hilarious.
I really wanted to see Gave up, but the tantrum was entertaining, also. They played Gave Up Saturday without a hitch so I'm content. I LITERALLY had to be pulled out of it because I couldnt get through. 
I didn't see this happening. A picture of what? How weird...Heresy209 wrote:I kind of figured you just made a typo. Yeah, Saturday night the crowd was alot more into it.
I was the 3rd guy in the door on both friday and Saturday.
That girl that brought the picture was strange. On Saturday she was hanging stuff up on a plant in line, looking at it for a minute, cried alittle bit, then took it off. Then did it again, over and over.
I totally agree. I was only there on Saturday, and the next time I see NIN in concert, I'm standing towards the back so I don't have to fight my way through the mosh pits in an attempt to enjoy my favorite band.catfishsmugler wrote:Perhaps it's selfish, but I hope people pay attention to all the aspects of the shows. I know my experience is amplifed by all the details with the full body of the shows.
The "stupid whores" were my friend and I and I'M the one who called you a fucking cunt, not her. "Squeezing in" by elbowing her was not cool. Her reasoning for making peace and giving you water was definitely not out of fear so please, get over yourself. She was trying to be the bigger person by being cool with you and you come home and shit talk her on the internet, way to go.Ugly Cloudmaker wrote: I had to squeeze into the front and some stupid whores called me a cunt but after a half hour of my friend and I talking about all the shit we were going to do to her, she suddenly realized I was "cool" and gave me some of her water, so I was satisfied.
He wore shorts in Austin, too, since it was so fucking hot...violent_n_delicious wrote: Anyway, I meant to say in my last post but it must have been casual Friday cause TR was workin his shit out in shorts. First and only time I'd seen that all tour.
This is fucking hilarious. I was not that happy with the Marquee, the venue sucked. Not as much as the Soma though, lucky you didnt go to San Diego.ihateacrylic wrote:I was kicked out before the show began. I had won tickets through the Dresden Dolls for the 5/26 show, so I flew to Tempe for the evening. I got to the show, after debacle w/ the idiots at the ticket office, my brother and I were allowed in. Inside, I was holding my hiss beer while he tied his show, and an "under-cover" under-age-drinker-basher asked for my i.d., so I handed my brother back his beer, then pulled out my id, which states I am 17. The asshole took a look, and I was thrown out, along w/ my brother, after trying much for a comprimise, but him ultimately feeding me "I don't want to but it's my job". -maybe he should not work such a job then, or quit lying to himself or me? All in all, we headed back to the hotel, had a small ceremonial hair cut, clothing change and face painting for him. He ran back to show, bought a new ticket for $100 and entered while the Dresden Dolls were on. He said it was an awesome show. I hope it was- Arizona seems to be chock-full of shmucks and bad karma- it needs some proaction brought in. At the end of the night I got a call from my brother who had gotten arrested by the Tempe police for skinny-dipping in a fucking area labled "beach".
i stared at you. only because i thought i recognized you- and suspected the motive behind the hoodie.trentsinmypants wrote:i was the only person wearing a sweatshirt at this show i kept getting weird looks from everyone.....*Sigh* the things you will do to record a show......
No shit. SOMA as a venue sucked balls.poorbabydan wrote:This is fucking hilarious. I was not that happy with the Marquee, the venue sucked. Not as much as the Soma though, lucky you didnt go to San Diego.
)I was protected by the cutest guy ever who kept pushing the people away from me--thank you!!! Towards the end the Manson lookalike stood--no towared next to me flinging his arms around and knocking me in the head about 4 times too many. I was tempted to say something that proabbaly would ahve gotten my ass kicked but his friend looked like he ate people like me for snacks. I figured I would live to see the next concert. This was my first time at the Marquee--that is the worst venue for a crowd of that magnitude--but after being there and seeing what all the fuss is about--none of it matters that was the most amazing expirience..the energy from Trent and the crowd was intense--I can't even imagine what those 50,000 people shows must be like. I survived my claustrophibia this time and I can actually see why people will pay hundreds of dollars to see that man on stage.This shit is hilarious for multiple reasons. First reason, that "beach" is for Tempe Town Lake, a big man-made pond that is pretty stagnant (regardless of whether or not people think the Salt River runs into it - what river!?) I hope your brother showered after that event, he may have lost some flesh. Secondly, the "beach" happens to be 2 blocks from the Tempe Police department, and they are all over things like Mike Tyson at a beauty pageant. Less than 3 minutes away from the venue, on the other side of that mountain (big hill) with the football stadium built into it is one of the largest Universities in the country. They have a police department, and then Tempe has one right next to it. They double up on everything around it. It makes for some shitty times when things like this happen. A few months ago my friend got a $200 ticket for public urination, he was behind a bush, behind a building.........ihateacrylic wrote: At the end of the night I got a call from my brother who had gotten arrested by the Tempe police for skinny-dipping in a fucking area labled "beach".
I waited with you. I am glad you made it ok. I was afraid your leg was going to snap.Consecro_Sonitus wrote:One more thing. Although I had to be calm and wheelchair it out for the first night, I pumped myself up with mad meds for Saturday and the show rocked hardcore. I was on (well, protecting someone) on the rail.....with one working leg. I met a couple of people who, I later realized (somehow) were members of ETS (violent, flyingstardust, hello!). I'm still fucked up in the knee/leg from Saturday, which is coming up on 2 weeks. But that shit was worth it!
Everyone who waited outside for 10-12 hours each day made the time pass quickly, which was nice considering no matter what time it was it was super hot out. Thanks everyone for being kickass.
When fall rolls around I'll definitely be going all over the place. I wish I could have this time but it wasn't in the cards. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for the other diehards who'll be going everywhere, maybe we'll meet up again.
Hey! I was there with VnD...man I give you soooo much credit for rocking the pit the second night, but I'm sure it was worth it! You and your friend are fucking rad and it was great meeting you! I'm so happy you got a prime spot the second night and here's to hoping your knee heals up quick!Consecro_Sonitus wrote:One more thing.

Hey, I remember you! I was the spiky-haired lad who took refuge with you guys under the KUPD tent. Thanks for the water. Glad to hear you got to rock out at the Saturday show. I hung towards the back for Friday's show, but went apeshit right up front the second night. Good times. Can't wait for the fall tour.Consecro_Sonitus wrote:One more thing.
