Going to check them out tonight...any fans out there? I will be honest and say that I only know a handful of their songs and would not consider myself a mega-fan, but part of that is due to my ignorance of their music. What I have heard, I've liked..so not sure why I never delved into it more. I'm kind of excited to see what they are all about.

Thoughts from anyone else that's seen them live?

    They're awesome live, and they normally have very cool and different support acts. I'm sure you'll hear all the songs you know.

    They kick ass live. I saw them last November at the Garden and am probably going to see them again this summer when they hit Jones Beach (odd venue for them, no pit, but I think thats kind of cool too). Very high energy show, very cathartic too. You'll scream your head off and get out some pent up aggression, thats for sure. Did for me when I last saw them.

    they're awesome. i've seen them 6 times in the last year. i saw them twice when they did the small club tour. it was fucking sweet. they're second only to PJ in my book.
    me you wouldn't recall, cause i'm not my former.

    I just got tickets to see them again this summer, two weeks after Pearl Jam. Can't wait.

    Oh, and the SG is sick! Thanks man!

    I've will have seen them 7 times lives this year and only once last year (same tour). Great band live! Trent is amazing. Bauhaus and either Peaches or TV radio I believe is opening for them depending on what show you go see. You won't be dissapointed.

    first time I saw NIN was Woodstock 94. I had heard closer maybe twice and that was it. After that performace....I had to pick my jaw off the ground it was so amazing. And I have seen NIN everytime they are in the area since then. I even brought my husband back in 2000 and he thought the show was great. My friend's teenage son needed to have an adult bring him, so it ended up being his father who was very reluctant. After it was all said and done, Dad bought tickets for the next show and is the one whois completely gungho about them now.

    A Nine Inch Nails live performance blows Pearl Jam out of the water. Vedder can't touch the pure raw emotion that Reznor gives every single night.

    NIN is more of a beautifully violent live band, but PJ is more of a rocking band.

    PJ has more diversity at their shows since they mix it up much more.

    Seeing both bands are like religious experiences for me.

    Its sorta like a hot fudge sunday and a great chicken curry:

    Both taste great, but are so different!

    I haven't seen them, but I'm kind of in the same situation as you - there are several dates that I could make, so I'm considering it. I have With Teeth and liked it, the few times I got to play it before my kids made off with it.

    i saw them for the first time last may at an intimate venue. it woulda been the best concert i'd seen in 2005, if i hadn't seen pj in ottawa. i was up front for almost the entirety of the show, and it blew my mind away. i've been a nin fan longer than i've been a pj fan, so i cannot believe it's taken me this long to see them in concert. i'm seeing them again in june, and i cannot wait.

    While Trent is definately a musical genius and can perform live, I would highly disagree with that...though I'm really biased towards Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder's wild energy just gets me PUMPED!!!

    Easy, boy. NIN is phenom, but PJ is as well. I'll be seeing Trent again in 2 months, as well as PJ. Can't wait for either!
