ETS Tour Journal

2007/04/04 - Frankfurt, GER [Volkshaus]

Oh my fucking god. I'm so annoyed. Trent tried to play Hurt but some douchebags had to scream all the time so Trent stopped playing it. His decision was totally right but why must there always be some stupid fuckers who have to scream during this special song. It is so disrespectful towards Trent and the whole audience. I would have expected much more from a NIN crowd. Everyone was in a good mood but maybe there was a bit too much energy in some people. But all in all it was an awesome show. The band played a lot old stuff from Broken EP and The Downward Spiral. I can't remember the setlist so someone else should post it.

greets Rusher

The last song was from our new album which comes out... I don't know, in two weeks or so, but you can steal it as of today!

What a great concert!

Awesome show/setlist. Now I've seen the most of my all time rare favorites. Tonight: WITT and Reptile. Great live performances! I'm so fucking happy about that!

As Rusher mentioned before the Hurt breakdown was very annonying. Some stupid fuckers just didn't get it. After this break, Trents seems a little bit pissed. Understandable of course.

Then there was no introduction of the band, just the classical "let the mic fall and went away" thing.

But all in all a very powerful show with some great highlights!

awesome show, too bad some assholes had to scream during Hurt...

The location was the "Jahrhunderthalle". There's no "Volkshaus" in Frankfurt.

Really a Great Evening _ this fucker who disturbing Hurt must be punished – some real great Arsehole!!!!

Setlist is right.
I was surprised that he announced a new song (after "The beginning..." and "Survivalism" were already played). But then, they played "a very old song": "Suck".

All in all an AMAZING show, 10 times better than Munich. I had the feeling, they had much more fun playing tonight.. though the "Hurt-thing" sucked, yeah...

On the one hand, I'm ashamed of some German NIN-fans. He interrupted the song and they screamed even louder and totally didn't get it. But on the other hand, the people spent a lot of money on that concert and if they just have to scream, so let 'em scream. And when 'your' "Hurt" is not allowed to be "interrupted" like that, then just don't play it. In my opinion, he overreacted a little bit in being so angry afterwards to the whole crowd ("So now you can scream your cocks off...--> "The hand that feeds"). The "screamers" weren't all of them. It was such an amazing show, but it left me with a little disappointment. But to make it clear, the "screamers" annoyed me at most.

To the show: Really amazing. I'm so happy they played WITT. AND "Piggy". AND "Reptile". Until "Hurt", everything was full of power. I enjoyed Munich too, but this was REALLY outstanding.

Yes, it was rigth to interrupt Hurt. The sreams, the people who clap their hands during the song, the lighters and mobile phones aboves their heads... it all ruined the song. But don't only blame the audience. What do you expect if Jeordie and Trent clap their hands during March of the Pigs (and during The Hand That Feeds) in a professional "Top of the Pops" style?

I wasn't at the show, so i am actually not allowed to react to this post, but i will anyways.
Are you just kidding me with this?? He has more then enough right to be angry and make that comment during THTF! Anyone that goes to a NIn concert should know where the song Hurt comes from and what it still means to him to this very day! Yes, fans can scream all they want when they bought a ticket, but at the right f*cking song! Scream during Burn, not Hurt! I am getting so tired of these so called admirers of NIN.

Show some respect for the artist you paid 50,- for to see perform live.

I wasn´t at the show either but i´m annoyed of these fucking jerks how screamed while hurt. They give the german fans a bad reputation and maybe trent does not want come to germany often anymore

what the hell was his problem ? the crowd behaves like that everytime, everywhere when nin perform hurt, right ?

Me I´m not wrote:I wasn´t at the show either but i´m annoyed of these fucking jerks how screamed while hurt. They give the german fans a bad reputation and maybe trent does not want come to germany often anymore

I don't think it's a "german" thing. And it also is a "NIN/Hurt" thing. I made the experience that these annoying people turn up everywhere. They're clapping during songs when there's absolutely NOTHING to clap about and scream while they should shut up.
I seriously hope Trent is aware of this fact (I think he is) and will not forgo germany in any way.
Other than that it was a fantastic concert

yeah thats what i thought.
i hate these guys that have to scream, but thats not new. they always scream. ok, cologne was perfectly quiet, but berlin screamed as loud as frankfurt.
i dont care. you always have to be careful with reznor...

i agree with over 13 that screaming during "Hurt" is no german thing, especially I met many english- and french-speaking NIN-fans. But of course most of the audience must be unable to understand english, because the silliest to do is to scream, when Trent say stop screaming. don

Furthermore, I have to say, that I don't like all the people with their mobile cams, they somehow destroy the atmosphere

But all in all, it was fucking great (much better than Oberhausen two years ago - festival gigs suck) and I really enjoyed and I don't think Trent is so childish and don't want to come back to Germany anymore (remember the Bockwürste-Story many years ago)

HEY! i loved oberhausen! that was soooo violent. i loved it. (espacially the fresh air!)
of course thats nothing to do with germans- what a silly thing to say.
i was completely sourrounded by americans- what really annoyed me, because they all seemed to know each other and kept talking and talking and....

logyourselfin wrote:what the hell was his problem ? the crowd behaves like that everytime, everywhere when nin perform hurt, right ?

exactly. i mean, don't they even scream on both live dvds? it's nothing new to the band... and before that incident trent seemed very happy with the crowd. he said sth like "it's great to be back in germany" and so on...

another funny thing that happened to me during the show: i almost thought i was the only guy wearing an AIR t-shirt. but then right before survivalism i guess some guy caught my attention and he wore an AIR shirt also... the message keeps spreading... ^^

also at the entrance there were some fake AIR flyers hung up. they said crap like "EAT THE RESISTANCE" or "PASTA IS RESISTANCE" i think... stupid

Some of those stupid screaming idiots where right behind me as the concert started. I think it is ok to scream and sing along at some heavier songs, but is it such a problem to be quiet for at least 5 minutes during hurt? Damn I think 90% of the audience wanted to see this special song due the fact it wasn't played a the last concert. I believe Trent is smart enough not to blame the whole german crowd for this incident. I think up to that point he had a lot of fun with all of us.

Maybe they should just stop playing hurt....they have played it almost every single date since on all tours since downward spiral days. Change is always good...

The Pasta Is Resistance was a hillarious joke by some Sprialers out there.

I know I can't post here, but I'll post a small comment here, concerning the "Hurt-thing"

In Brussels, when Trent played Hurt, a girl shouted "Johnny" (in reference to Johnny Cash). Trent gave her an angry look and the rest of the audience shut her up, which pleased him. So he played on in respect of the "real NIN-audience".

God Given wrote: Maybe they should just stop playing hurt....they have played it almost every single date since on all tours since downward spiral days. Change is always good...

But there are still people who yet haven't heard it live and it is always a good thing if there is a slower song in the setlist. But that's my opinion. Oh and I think Trent still wants to play Hurt otherwise they wouldn't have played it.

I think the boiling point of trent's temper was reached when somebody screamed "we love you all trent" and some freaks around where giggling...

I wasn't at the show either, but because I almost went I'd like to post.


I cant find the right words to express how pissed I am that I got sick the day before yesterday, and couldnt go. Spiral soundcheck plus WITT.... Sometimes life is really unfair...

oh well.

Anyways, I often go to that awesome german fansit withteeth.de and they have a video of the Hurt-incedent:

http://www.withteeth.de/static.php?item ... id=34#more

Thanks for posting. I'm still fucking pissed but life goes on and I'm going to visit the Year Zero tour so hopefully no one is ruining it this time.

I'm cool with Hurt.

I mean, that "abgebrochener Riese" was obviously pissed his album leaked this day, plus this annoying "I LOVE YOU TRENT"... El Rezzo forgot his line, fucked it up, and instead of staying professional, he just started to bitch. But, as said, I'm cool with that - I could listen to Year Zero the way home, and to be honest with you Trent going human boombox during "Hurt" and making whiny-sounds would have ruined that song for me. It would have been cool to play it again after "Head like a Hole", but.. fuck it.

Oh, and you guys should ad "The Frail" to the tracklist on page 1, since ... it was plaid, as far as I can remember.

I thought a lot about the Hurt-Incident, especially because I was really kind of in a shock after that happened an couldn't really enjoy the last two songs anymore. As were the first three or four rows, where hardly anyone danced anymore even as THTF was played.

My opinion: If you play in a venue in front of at least 5000 people, there are lots of respectful die-hard fans, lots of "heard it and liked it"-fans, and ALWAYS a bunch (or even lots) of idiots who just want to drink and freak out. That's the way mankind is like.
It sure wasn't a "german thing", because we had a very mixed audience. I, f.e., talked a lot to american and english guys.
But, anyway, WE all know that HURT is the most important song to Trent. Lots of people don't, even if they own a couple of records. You have to be really into it to know things like that.

So, finally, we had lots and lots of disappointed fans because of one fuckin' idiot. That's not fair. Maybe Trent should deal with things like that and PLAY ON - not for one or even 50 idiots, but for 4950 fans who had loved to hear that song.

He "leaked" it himself. http://yearzero.nin-thespiral.com/FLJoi ... layer.html

and he didn't fuck it up he just got pissed of this annoying yelling from the crowd so he simply stopped playing. That's all.

I saw his face. That guy screamed "Trend I love you" right before the "I wear this crown of shit" line, El Rezzo was distracted and missed the line. Then he made a stupid face, for 2 or 3 terrible seconds nothing happened and THEN he made his little "Don't scream on my I'm-so-vulnerable-Song, because, well, I'm so vulnerable"-monologue.

But, as said, I'm cool with that. I can understand him, and to be honest with you, I really really hope they stomped the shit out of that hillarious son of a bitch that screamed this stupid comment.

So, he stopped playing the song and addressed the people who screamed? Huh? What did he say?

(Yeah, yeah, ok, I wasn't at the show, but I want to know..)

A part of it is here: http://www.withteeth.de/static.php?item ... id=34#more

Basically he said something like "There is one thing I will never understand. Why the hell do you have to scream on this song. We've plaid like 15 tracks you can scream to, but this is none. I don't wanna sound like a baby, I'm just trying to sing this fucking song." Then he walked to the back of the stage, said something to the band, yelled orders, came back and said "Now, this is a Song you can scream your cocks of to" and they started to play THTF.

---To bite a hand that feeds you by accident


Erhm. *Swallows*. Here I go.

Hello. I've been one of the Hurt-screamers yesterday.

I'm 21. I've been introduced to the band about three months ago by a friend. The first song with which he dragged me to their music was 'ruiner'. Soon after that, he let me hear the whole downward spiral, and from then on, live-DVD's with music videos and other albums followed. In a rather short time I became pretty addicted to them. It was the kind of alternative 'industrial' Rock I've been looking for to discover, since until then the main music I heard was AC/DC, Metallica, Iron Maiden and so on bla bla... I still love these bands, don't get me wrong, I just grew rather tired of them during the last year or so.

Now NIN was something completely new. Other sound, much more... 'adult' and mature (which isn't hard with the other bands singing about werewolves and covering girls in oil or about fantasy battles, I really needed a break from that ;P). I can surely say that I haven't been on a concert from a band so soon after I got to know it.

I don't have informed myself about NIN or Trent Reznor much. I didn't read the Wikipedia entry or anything. I couldn't draw conclusions between lyrics and Reznors personal experiences. My friend has told me about drug problems. That's it. Many musicians I am fan of had drug problems. Most probably there's even more I don't know about. I didn't knew how serious this song was to him, and how emotional he still is about it.

I made it to the total front, right before the stage. Of course this needs a certain amount of pushing, but I'm no aggressive pusher. It took about 8 songs to get slowly so far to the front. I'm rather small, and not really much muscles. Everytime I'm on a concert, I desperately try to say 'sorry' to anybody who accidently got an hard elbow from me by accident. There have been really rough pusher, simply pressing with full force, trying to break your balance by angling for your legs with their own. There on the front, it was a great mass of sweat, skin, hair... and well, elbows. The music was pounding. I missed to relish some of the songs when it got really rough, but with the total front position that was worth it for me. I had a good time with the people beside me, and even got a plectrum from Jeordie White (sp?)!

Then came hurt. In a stark contrast to the previous song, the light was reduced to a single dim blue beam, the only sound being the smooth and silent keyboard, and Trents voice. I could hear the whole hall behind me sing. For the very first minutes, it was beautiful. People were smiling.
I really enjoyed that time, I really enjoyed being there, right there at that moment. It was all emotional. I sang along.
Then came the "I love you Trent!", somewhere from the publicum. I also was disturbed by that call, but in that moment I considered it rather funny. I heard several people sniggle and sniggled along. Not from disrespect, just because of the good time. I thought it was okay, people were taking the opportunity to let there appreciation being heard. I cried "REZNOR!". Great music. Great messages. Great band. Don't know much details about them, but they make me enjoying their music very much. "REZNOR!" I did cry.
The woman beside with which I sang along happily before tipped me several times on my arm, giving me sign to hush, having a slightly concerned face, trying to continue to sing along. I hushed, not wanting to disturb her experience anymore. But some heatbeats after that, it already happened, with Trent losing his line, and being annoyed to have his beautiful song disturbed.

I've heard, let's call it ballads, on concerts before. But this time it was different than my experiences with "Deep Purple" or "Paul McCartney". There's always some people who don't want their favourite ballad be disturbed, but usually it turns out okay after a good concert, so from time to time, you allow yourself a good out-cry of your positive emotions. And the musicians that I've seen until now didn't care much, they just tried to have a good time on the stage. The big difference here is that the other musicians that I've seen until now probably hadn't, at that time, that kind of emotional bound to their songs.


I want to say sorry to you people, and I feel sorry to Trent Reznor for interrupting and turning out that experience so bad. I really had a terrible bitter feeling after hurt, and felt very ashamed.

It's not so bad now. I also have thought about it.

That guy cried "I love you". ... Okay, from the sound of his voice, I pictured a big, sweaty, drunken guy, right, he interrupted what could have been a perfect moment of silence, right, but damn, he was probably having SUCH a good time and in a very clumsy way just tried to show his appreciation.
Reznor had his "i'm so vulnerable" moment. Vulnerable moments make some persons very lovable, if you know what I mean. Some other people might have reacted otherwise. I simply don't know Trent Reznor. Really don't. I have seen him in (very cool) music videos, but that's it. I haven't read anything about him, I don't know where he's born, I don't know what he experienced in his life. Imagine that first screamer.
I'm on a concert, enjoying his music. I like that special song. I like that atmosphere. I have a hell of a good time. I shout "I love you" because I really feel like it.
It would have been much less bitter for all of us too, if Reznor wouldn't have cared. We would have been inspired by his calmness, and just remember how nice the concert was. Sure "there have been some shouting idiots again" you would have told. But I think it would all appear much less bad.

Now I know Trent Reznor a little bit better. Ask if I ever shout again during a Hurt - performance ^^'
About the other people cheering loudly when Reznor started his rant... I personally think that most people just didn't understand him (language-wise), and when the first few people started cheering because Trent started to say something, soon the half of the hall joined.


"Stomping" that "son of a bitch" who shouted... No. Absolutely not. Not for shouting "I love you".

Shouting "I want to fuck you like your father did" during a Linkin Park concert (I havn't been on any and this never occured as far as I know, I just think it's a strong example; the singer has allegedly been abused in his childhood by his father), now that comes closer to such strong emotions. But "I love you" during "Hurt"?
Come on, after all that was a concert! There was no introduction to the personality of the artists, no biography, no code of behaviour, alcohol has been sold, I've seen people giving joints around... for many other it's been a big party, 40€ entrance fee! Don't even think about trying to tell them how they have to feel. Although, if they knew better, and still continue to shout just to annoy people, that's of course another story.

Be careful that you don't let Trent Reznor too much dictate how you feel (although sometimes it's good).

My apologies and sincerely,

R.G.


P.S.: I thought Ladytron were AWESOME!

Oh god, my english is terrible.
Bad punctuation, bad grammar, bad word order.
Sorry 'bout that.

Just awake from my refreshing night after the five hours drive to come back home

That was great !!! For sure I have no regrets except perhaps I can’t see the person I wish to see (if you read hello Brett !!). This was my best NIN show on this tour ! So good sound!
Ladytron was very nice too (but guys, what was that strange screen ? it seems to be quickly-made picture with no meaning. if there is, sorry, but if there’s no…. it don’t think your music needs that).
So as I said, the show was perfect… so much energy, so many shared-feelings from Trent. I was just face to Jeordie and have a perfect view on all the stage. At the beginning, I had the felling that he – Jeordie- was high, and I notice that on Trent too when he came down to us. Something in their behaviours and in the eyes that change suddenly after the three or four first songs. Anyway it was a really great evening.
A perfect show there until the antepenultimate song, this “Hurt”.
What’s the fucking matter with that song ? I mean, haven’t you had enough people to hear it live and can’t stopping singing out of tune and shouting like the fucking pigs Trent Reznor usually speak about ? I can understand how awful it was on stage if it was as in the crowd! I had to “hurt” my ears to didn’t have to listen this. For me it loses all its sense when everyone yells. People haven’t all the right just because they gave money !! that’s a stupid judgment !

Many thanks despite this fact to Trent Reznor and the band members. I can now close this Nine Inch Nails part of my life. I hope see you guys this summer. I go back to “the people who just read” category ( Hi Jassa, that was a pleasure to help you!!!)


The hurt shouter, I agree with you ; don't let Trent or anyone dictate you anything... reference to art is resistance

sad

I bought the ticket right after the Stuttgart show because I was kinda pissed. And it became one of the best decisions in my life! WITT, Trent came off stage during "Piggy", and well, the "Hurt" accident. I've never expected I could see so many thing for the first time last night.

I was in front of Trent at the beginning, but I had to run away since the crowd was totally insane. I've never seen so many people getting pulled out before. And I knew I would be the next sooner or later if I stayed there. The best area is indeed the most dangerous area. Finally I managed to move a little bit to Jeordie to get away from those craziest ppl in the middle. Well, better. Then Trent came to us. Suddenly everyone around me went crazy. They kept pushing and jumping. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen I don't know how many arms were there above my head and I could see nothing! Anyway, I still managed to touch him Later the microphone was sent to the audience, but they suddenly became shy and nobody took it in the first 2 or 3 seconds. I was trying to get it, but a guy from Chile was faster. They even brought a flag of Chile, how cute

Until "Hurt" the show was great. All the people, including the band were enjoying a lot. The sound, the performance, the atmosphere were all perfect, though some people were pushing way too hard, ouch, my body ached. Then "Hurt" was on, and you all know what happened. I was singing along and the scream even fucked me up. I was afraid that Trent would walk off stage and never came back, well, he didn't, but he got pissed and the atmosphere got ruined. I was cool with that. Anyways, I didn't have any energy to jump to the last 2 songs anymore.

I know I must look terrible after the show. I got all wet, and my hair was messed up, but I am proud of it compared with "clean" people

@the hurt shouter
There were a few more people like you. But well you ruined the evening for most of the audience. I think it doesn't need a lot of common sense to understand that it is inappropriate to shout during that song if everyone keeps quiet or just sings along. Well now you know better. Hopefully it will never happen again or that the next time people start to beat up those screamers.

oh this remindes me on the gig of nin in 2005 @ vienna...during "hurt"...some fucking´people were headbanging- HEADBANGING!!!- during "hurt"....-i think those people don´t understand the song hurt....- and trent was pissed of, what i really understand. but now,2007 in vienna, it was a better crowd...no one was headbanging while he played hurt...- also we can learn*g*

i think, back in 2005, trent was pissed because his microphone wouldn't let him finish singing. i can't remember that the crowd did anything to piss him off.

ok this year zero shit and people mimicking it is starting to get a little awkward.

clip of we're in this together. sick!

Bootlegs yet?
If so, please PM me.

in Milan some attention seeking girl started yelling during Hurt, spoiling the song for everybody, but the italians being italians, soon somebody yelled "Shut the f...up!" back at her. and she did

It seems like during every European show someone shouted during hurt.

Right.

Thanks for mentioning this; I'd been wrecking my brains re: what had happened back in 2005, but couldn't remember it.

Fuck you all...........
I don't understand that there are still people spending a lot of money to go to a concert to chat and making jokes all the time during the gig: ....... hey, go to a bar for doing that thing and spend the money for some more drinks.

Going to a concert means listen to the band and please shut the fuck up as much as possible.
Frankfurt was an example of bad behavior; several smartguys spoiled the whole thing, so don't blame the band or Trent. They're touring for almost two months and still they have a lot of energy.

I did 12 shows this tour and I've seen enough: I'm very disappointed in especially the Dutch (Paradiso) and German (Frankfurt) audience!

I'm Dutch and i was at the Paradiso performance. I was surprised to see no one really singing for Aaron out loud when TR said it was his birthday. I was a bit dissapointed in "my audience".

I know...do no post of you were not at the show.

Hi.

First of all I'd like to thank "hurt_shouter" for his really honest report, i really appreciate it!

I was also at the concert (my first NIN concert) and my girlfriend and me totally enjoyed it. After Trents comment at Hurt my girlfriend looked at me and said "Now he's pissed".

I'd really like to hear Trent's opinion on the whole evening and in particular the "Hurt incident". Maybe he said/will say something about it on the Spiral, which I'm no member of... Its pointless to go on and discuss, whether he lost his lines over someone shouting "I love you, Trent" or wether he was pissed all day long that Wednesday, because we never know what REALLY made him quit Hurt. Maybe you Spiral members can say somethin about it?

After having read Huxley's book on NIN/Reznor I already knew, that he seems kinda bitchy about his songs, or non appreciation of his work. BUT, for how long are they perfoming live? This definitely wasn't the first time, that some morons screamed during Hurt... Btw. YOU know, what this songs means to him, you can't apply your standards as (Hardcore/Real)-Fans to "normal" people.

It was a great perfomance, great setlist and a really nice atmosphere... But Trents reaction kind of left me a little bit disappointed. :/

I was at the show and I didn't hear an "I love you" right before Trent stopped playing, I heard a really loud asshole screaming. I didn't hear him say anything, just scream for a while. He was doing it for a large portion of the song along with a few others who weren't as loud. Clearly the crowd did not understand Trent was pissed off because when he said the word "scream" at the beginning of his bitching, most of the audience started cheering and, well, screaming. That seemed to have sent him over the edge. I think he might have continued to play after his rant but the fucking crowd started going crazy instead of just listening to him.

Did anyone else notice Trent chuck something in the direction of the crowd but it hit something hanging from the ceiling and fell short?

During which song?
The only thing I recognised was that TR swang the light above his head maybe a couple of times but I don't remember him throwing anything towards the audience...

I'd just like to say i came all the way from Ireland to see NIN in Frankfurt (they havnt played Ireland in over a decade and this is the first time i'd ever seen them live) so .....FUCK U (the guy who screamed Trent during Hurt) I spent alota money and time i didn't have to see them play (and it was a savage gig) and when it comes to Hurt (one of my all time fav songs) and sum twat screams and ruins it, theres just no forgivness for that. i know u prob dnt care but i had to say it....FUCK YOU!!!!!!

No, after he stormed off when he was done with his rant about Hurt. I've heard a few things: one is he threw a bottle against the back wall and maybe that ricocheted back towards the front, two is he chucked something towards the crowd but threw it too high and it hit something on the ceiling. Maybe he did just hit the lamp above the mic right before he ran to the back of the stage. I guess no one saw what I saw so I guess I'm wrong, it must have been something else.

I did. After his "speech" during Hurt, he threw a water bottle toward the audience, but he threw it too high. It hit the ceiling or something there and fell back to the stage, never reached the crowd.
