You might get away with it. Plenty of people were taking pictures with their phones, but I did spot one girl have her digital camera confiscated near the start.BROK3N0NE wrote:Also how is apollo for taking cameras....was thinking about taking my digicam, but wasnt sure.
you ought to be ok, just leave the flash off. she probably had hers confiscated for using the flash, which is pointless at gigs anyway. just make sure you have a steady handBROK3N0NE wrote:ok thanks, hmm i might just take a dispoable....lol
More please.. (at least I can dream I'm there then) I was supposed to be there tonight but the person I was going with let me down and I didn't have anyone else to go withsickamongthepure wrote:Some nice close pictures from my friend who's too lazy to post them...

Hey I was oneof the idiots up the top too!, I was 2nd row back, and too was sweating buckets. Just imagine being the poor bastard that had to sit next to me on the over night bus back to London!Scoopofthewine wrote:Last night at the Apollo concludes all my gigs for this tour. Having seen them at The Astoria and the Glasgow Barrowlands, last night demonstrated the best light show I have seen yet! I rekon if you lasted that performance without an epileptic seizure, you can be pretty sure you and none of your future generations will suffer from it. It was a shame though that the backdrop lights fucked up during "Reptile" and were switched off for the majority of the remaining gig! That was why Trent remarked about it being dark and getting us in the mood! As far as I could see a set of light jammed on followed by another before they pulled the plug on them.
One thing I noticed straight away was the energy and enthusiasm Trent had at that show in comparison to the others I had been too...it was fantastic! I thought the sound system was great aswell until they played "Burn". The roof should have lifted when that track kicked in but it just died. As for the heat, fuck handing out water to the crowd below the stage, what about us idiots sitting on the very top row! The more people came in the hotter it got up there, it was unbelievable! Especially when we were all sweating more than Trent, no wonder they were offering fucking ice cream, a bucket of water and ice cubes would have probably sold better! In all though I think that was the best show I had seen, but probably the worst venue...but hey...who fucking cares!
Cheers.But you have no idea what a prick i felt when it suddenly dawned on me.. So again- Sorry!! Hope you have a good show tonight!absinthex wrote:apologies accepted
So?? SHould have gone by yourself! Thats what myself and a couple of others did and it went well!sensory_chaos wrote: was supposed to be there tonight but the person I was going with let me down and I didn't have anyone else to go with
I came from Belgium, took an airplane, took the bus, and stayed in a hotel room, all alone, for the Brixton gig.sensory_chaos wrote:More please..

I was at the very top row, smack bang in the middle (seat numbers 23 & 24) with my wife, an Asian girl who had a sleeveless white top and a blue pair of jeans on. I had a blue patch jeans and a black NIN T-Shirt (surprisingly) that was "suppost" to light up in the dark.telly j j wrote:Hey I was oneof the idiots up the top too!, I was 2nd row back
Hahaha. I think this is a running joke on the tour. They soaked him on the Wed at the Astoria gig, then again for the Sunday gig and again tonight (Monday). He did get his own back by soaking Geordie when his back was turned.telly j j wrote:ike_krull wrote:Wicked gig

major kudos to you then - after all, the spiral people only got to watch the soundcheck and meet the band as wellwe got into the show AT THE SAME TIME as spiral people (haha)
I thought you were talking about me for a moment... as i pretty much fit the description... though I wasn't pulled out... also wasn't violent (at least i hope no one would consider me violent). anyway, i somehow missed any guitar being thrown in... did i fall asleep for a moment or what?Esther wrote:wohoee, me and my boyfriend managed to work our way forward and got on the barrier central and very slightly to the left.
Had some idiot, skinny, geek looking guy elbowing me and other people.
He ended up getting pulled out and i got his place. I really dont understand ppl like that, sure everyone wants to get to the front, but theres no need to be violent!
I missed the guitar, but didint ike the idea of getting my fingers sliced up, like some did..ouch!
Good gig though!heres my pics...http://www.flickr.com/photos/22139084@N00/sets/566280/ flick through em, theres a few dates on there xx
hahaaa the belgians will show you how to do it: i came from belgium and went to astoria shows and the shows in Eindhoven and Oberhausen. I must agree, I wetn to the Apollo shows in company, and that better of course. But once the gig starts, does it really make a difference?r00t wrote:I came from Belgium, took an airplane, took the bus, and stayed in a hotel room, all alone, for the Brixton gig.sensory_chaos wrote:More please..

Be a big boy.
he he he heh6a6t6e wrote:I don't know what my problem is then... i have no recollection of any guitar being given to the audience at this gig... guess i was exhausted or something... or the transvestite in front of me with the mushroom was obscuring my vision.
I was at that Academy gig too. I think the band was a lot more aggressive on stage and very unpredictable. I remember Trent running past Robin F. and strangling him with his mic lead at one point...Judex wrote:I enjoyed both shows but there was no real sense of fear or danger that used to be such a part of the band.
Man, I know what you mean - I saw NIN last ELEVEN years ago!!! at the Academy - there was a palpitable sense of unease in the air, like you were scared of what the band was going to do (to itself). Had to duck to avoid getting hit by Trent's microphone at one point!
Anyway, given that he's elevent years older now I thought the gig last Sunday was relentless!!! Surprised not many people have commented on the LED lightsystem - I thought it was fookin incredible!
I don't know the whole context of why that (quote) "stupid bitch" tried to sell those tickets... but I do remember that same person was annoying the second night (11th) by acting like a real Beatlesmania-chick. It ended with her moving over the crush-barriers and been taken off to the hall next to the venue by 3 security guys. On her forced way out, she tried to get her hand on one of the moving spots on the edge of the stage. The first day (10th, same thing with another girl. I've pretty much had it with those drama queens.h6a6t6e wrote:Anyone else as annoyed by the stupid bitch before the show trying to sell tickets she had signed by Trent and Jeordie? I think if things like this continue to happen, then meet & greets may cease to take place with nine inch nails... i mean it's one thing to sell a cd or lithograph you got there, but to fucking sell off your tickets like a fucking tout is going far too far.
According to someone from the nowimnothing forums, trent looked disgusted when he had to sign her breasts... although from what I can tell, everyone from those forums are seemingly stupid ("omgzzzz jeordie is such a dick!!!! lolzzzzz@jeordie is rude, ahahahaha, i'm trnet is so sexxieeee!!!"). Anyway... was the meet and greet there really as lame as it's been describe on that forum? they said you couldn't take any pictures at all, and the band stayed behind the railing.
Well, I guess she was trying to sell the tickets because she wanted to make lots of money. What did she do exactly on the second night that got her ejected? I really, really wish I had seen that... I am sick of fan-girl groupies.clover13 wrote:I don't know the whole context of why that (quote) "stupid bitch" tried to sell those tickets... but I do remember that same person was annoying the second night (11th) by acting like a real Beatlesmania-chick.

she was selling them at the face valueWell, I guess she was trying to sell the tickets because she wanted to make lots of money
If this was the case, I don't see why she got them signed and was asking the touts how much they were selling theirs for.spiral_bastard wrote:she was selling them at the face valueWell, I guess she was trying to sell the tickets because she wanted to make lots of money
No idea - i think she had tried to sell them to the touts (who were offerring £10 to buy), but she was definitely only asking the face value. (not sticking up for her, seems a wierd thing to be doing - in her position i'd have kept the signed tickets and sold the unsigned ones - and i can see that she may have been quite irritatingh6a6t6e wrote:If this was the case, I don't see why she got them signed and was asking the touts how much they were selling theirs for.spiral_bastard wrote:she was selling them at the face valueWell, I guess she was trying to sell the tickets because she wanted to make lots of money

fuckers.Jesus Christ that gobby tart was a blight on the queuing process both nights, she was worse than the touts jumping on every new person as soon as they pulled up in a taxi. I can't believe it sounds like the signatures were real! Luckily she shut the fuck up when NIN started. It was only a song or so from the end when she got pulled out and made her dash for Trent, he seemed rather amused by the whole thing though. Very thankful security jumped on her so quickly, heh.h6a6t6e wrote:Anyone else as annoyed by the stupid bitch before the show trying to sell tickets she had signed by Trent and Jeordie?
I pray there weren't more than one of her type...sickamongthepure wrote:I wasn't going to post this, but it seems half the world knows about her anyway... would this be the young lady in question?

Did you ask to take the picture?!?
Anyway, I notice Alessandro didn't seem to have signed it, which makes me like him even more at this point.
I told my mother about this *fucker's antics and she just said (in classic Irish mother style): "Jaysus, there's some tarts around. I hope that Trent fella was alright".sickamongthepure wrote: Sounds like a classy lassie.
I was in a rush to get picked up that night anyway. We'll always chat at the next NIN shows.I didn't see the CD but I do remember what looked like knickers going over my head and landing between the stage and the barrier. Some people eh?exquisite_red wrote:Ah, I remember seeing that CD hit Trent! The box fell apart and it all just lay on the floor to the right of Trent for the rest of the song. Was wondering which cd it was, looked like a flimsy singles case.
I was also informed that a pair of knickers were thrown at him at one point...didn't see that though. Poor guy, that sort of behaviour should really be restricted to boyband/Tom Jones concerts...
Ah well, chances are my memory of the event has warped since, I thought it'd caught his side then dropped to the floor. Definitely remember it bouncing open when it hit the floor and the various pieces scattered next to him afterwards.monkey arse wrote:The guy told me that his CD landed near him, not that it hit him.. Probably didnt want to say that he hit his hero with a CD though i guess... Nice work Tom!
UGGH. Shame on her.JonDowland wrote:Yup was left of centre. I saw this girl squat down, wondered what she was doing - when she came back up she tried to launch them at him.
in this thread there is word of a full PAL video source that is being prepared.JonDowland wrote:Any word on bootlegs from the gig? :)
Same with me, but then again I won't be able to download anyway, being on dialup and all. Just how big is the torrent anyway?exquisite_red wrote:*blub*, I can't access it as it won't let me register...

Jerome came out eating a pizza, and aaron came out carrying the box. Trent came out eventually, but no autographs/pictures. I yelled bye to Eric, as this was my last concert... then I caught a taxi back to the cricketgrounds and wept sadly as I'll not see nin again for a long time.
The GIG WAS AWSOME!! we waited outside after too.. your right there was shit loads of people!.. bit of a bummer really, cos wer thinkin perhaps less people may have meant that NIN may have signed some stuff...nevermind,
neways did anyone see those two girls getting on the Tour bus?!!!
hope dont have to wait too long! xx

Yeah, fewer people doesn't really mean anything, though. In London (5th) there were about 4 of us waiting outside, and no one signed any autographs... but I don't really blame them. They (Jerome and Alessandro) had to put up with after show people). I think Trent and Jeordie were already in the bus though... they must've seen us waiting for an hour and a half out there... at any rate... on the first night in London Trent and Alessandro signed autographs/took pictures with people, and after Glasgow Trent and Jeordie signed and took pictures... Aaron was asked, but claimed he didn't have time because Jerome had hurt his leg after the show by falling down some stairs... though he then proceeded to talk to two girls for a few minutes. Whatever though, I wasn't the one wanting an autograph anyway.beans please wrote:The GIG WAS AWSOME!! we waited outside after too.. your right there was shit loads of people!.. bit of a bummer really, cos wer thinkin perhaps less people may have meant that NIN may have signed some stuff...nevermind, :)h6a6t6e wrote: Then I waited by the back entrance with like 40 other people (which is a stark change from all the other gigs where only 5-10 others waited).
