    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!

    boy, did i pick the right night to see nin. opening with six of the first seven songs off the downward spiral, last and help me i'm in hell followed by eraser and reptile@ and they played dead souls too. absolutely amazing - one of the best concerts i have ever been to!

    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.

    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.

    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'm going to see NIN live tonight in Brixton. Only thing is, I'm only a casual fan at best (I like what I've heard, but that's not much). I'm also fairly exhausted from a hard week at work. 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
