Is NIN worth seeing live?

I was laughing my ass off when the singer kept going 'He took her to a movie' after every single line of one of the songs. And she was speaking into a stupid voice changer that made her sound like a pretentiously 'scary' ghost-like figure. Now 'that' is trying too hard.

Plus every single chord structure and musical part was extremely predictable. Electronica by numbers.

I remember that song well, one of my favourites!!! I can't believe there were five of them with keyboards, and they still sounded boring!

ladytron are one of the worst support bands i have ever seen. almost as bad as when atari teenage riot supported nin on the fragility tour. speaking gibberish into the mic over a load of electronic beeps is not entertaining.

I am with ya- I went and saw NIN last night at Brixton and was completey blown away. They were amazing!! This is the first time I have seen them and it is definetly in my top 3 concerts of all time

Arctangent

this was the 5th time i have seen them and definately the best yet! i wish i had gone last night as well as that was a damn good set list too.

i prefer NIN live to PJ.

cannot wait for another U.S. tour.

NIN is one of the best live bands out there especially the current line up. the With Teeth tour was awesome all 3 shows I saw, and Trent is healthy and rocking out more than ever.

Ladytron were OK. Much better than the support in 05.

ATR's Live @ Brixton album from that show in '99 is the greatest live album EVER.

i thought both the dresden dolls and saul williams were excellent support acts.

i didn't know atari teenage riot released a live album from that gig at brixton! i'd love a copy of that just to scare the neighbours - 35 minutes of feedback and strange bleeps! fantastic!!

NIN live is another show you must see at least once.
You don't need to be in the front- I think it's more fun but you can enjoy the visuals from the cheap seats. NIN is the only other fan club I belong to besides PJ.
The 05 congress theatre show was simply amazing. The guy next to me caught the smashed guitar right in the chest and knocked him on the floor... very intense!
Burn.

I'd rather be going out for dinner with my wife. I'm getting old. When I originally said yes to the ticket, I was excited. Now, I'm just 'yeah, OK, fine'.

What would you say to convince me I'll have a great time at the gig, despite making the tiring trip into London?

i bet it sucked

you should be kicked in the nads for having even thought of this question. Trent and the gang put on one of the best shows I have ever seen...

check out some youtube footage from the shows... or check out the visual effects for Eraser/right where you belong...fucking amazing

ScotInAmsterdam

What a concert. I just saw them in berlin.

I went with my girlfriend, so we were up on the Balcony so that she could see. I got to see them from a different perspectives. My photos are here:

Most of them are a little too far away, but I'm pretty proud of this one:

Less than 3 weeks til the new album!!!

I am seriously more excited for this than I was for PJ's at this point last year.

I have no doubt NIN are more than worth seeing live, my friends seen them a few times now and absolutely loved every second of all their shows. We planned see them on this tour together, so, got tix to see 'em in Wolverhampton on the 12th March....

.....they cancelled.....

..... at about 2pm, THAT afternoon....

.....wankers.

Still, they're doing the gig on the 8th of August instead

Yeah it sucks that they cancelled, but it would have sucked even more if they had played and Trent's voice sounded shit.
