Re: NIN | Jane's Addiction Tour going?
 

I think my buddy got 2 tickets for the Irvine Meadows show. At least, that's what he told me he was doing. If not, I can always wait until the day of the show and buy one of ebay for close to face value. I did that with Iron Maiden and got fantastic Orch seats.

Cute. These two bands had split paths a long time ago, and people still try to associate them together.

I also wouldn't consider what NIN puts out to be industrial, Reznor certainly doesn't. Industrial influenced, sure.

Re: NIN | Jane's Addiction Tour going?
 

yeah yeah Skinny Puppy is great, but they don't have the resources to pull off what Reznor does with a live show.

Re: NIN | Jane's Addiction Tour going?
 

Yea, I listened to Nine Inch Nails from Pretty Hate Machine through Downward Spiral. I pretty had everything during that time period. I had not even heard one song (apart from soundtracks, etc) since then when a buddy offered to buy me a ticket to a summer show, I think it was 2006 or 2007. I went not really expecting much. I was blown away. I think alot of bands hide behind their light shows to compensate for a lack of musicianship. That is definitely not the case with that band. The sound quality was amazing. No DVD could capture that. Kicking myself that I did not hit Lolapalooza '91. I'm strongly thinking about the Charlotte show.

Is the opening act any good? I just noticed they're starting at 7 and NIN isn't going on until 7:45. It would be nice to leave a little later if I could (I'm going tonight).

Re: NIN | Jane's Addiction Tour going?
 

Everything I've read about them has been stellar.

Re: NIN | Jane's Addiction Tour going?
 

Isn't the opening act Tom Morello's new band? They're called 'Street Sweeper Social Club', but that's about all I know about them. Oh, except the article I read said that it rocks, with a bit of the Rage sound, not like the acoustic Nightwatchman....

Re: NIN | Jane's Addiction Tour going?
 

Definitely check out the opener Street Sweeper Social Club. They were well liked by the crowd and put on a hell of a show.

At the show in Phoenix they did a rocked out cover of Paper Planes. Friggin' Fantastic.

At another show Trent came out and rocked Kick out the Jams!

Re: NIN | Jane's Addiction Tour going?
 

Well, I didn't get the chance to see them, because traffic was SO bad that I got there at 8, 15 minutes after NIN had gone on. So I saw most of the NIN set, and it was good. But Jane's Addiction were great. The whole band was in top form and there wasn't a bad song in the set. That will go down as one of the best live shows I've seen this decade.

Re: NIN | Jane's Addiction Tour going?
 

I had this exact experience in Tampa a couple weeks ago (traffic, missed the first 10-15 minutes of NIN). I've never been much of a JA fan but I thought they put on a great show and I'm glad I saw them.

I had foolishly thought NIN was going to headline because of the big stink about this being their "farewell tour" and what not so it was disappointing that I missed the first couple songs, but I ended up enjoying JA more anyway.
