Thanks. Apparently banned for defending my rights to my own video content on youtube. And you cant like join anymore with a new account either. Whatever.

Oh, I get it: those are their money-maker songs. The ones that put asses in seats and the ones that all the casual concert-going fans know from the radio and Mtv from back in the day.

I think every hardcore NIN fan's dream is a tour light on visuals and lights, and heavy on deep cuts. The 2009 WG NYC shows are a perfect example of this; lean, to the bone, and no bullshit. And even those shows had the standards sprinkled in.

It's just funny to see Trent going so against the grain on these new EPs, but it's business as usual live. This is probably just a festival thing. Show up, play the hits, get paid. Hopefully we'll get a real tour next year and the setlist will be much more varied..

They should get a pass for popping their heads up for a few shows. I mean, you know Trent probably gets offers constantly, and its just a matter of timing and what he wants to do. the timing was right, and they were doing this stuff cause they could. you know theyll be getting into fine tuning whatever is coming for next year after the last show. So why not show off some new material, see what works and go from there? nothing wrong with what theyre doing. I just thinking for most of us, having unrealistic expectations for the shows is the problem. Let em do what they do, if its the same old, fine. I mean, why arent we just glad there are some shows, and its accessible for most fans? Imagine if it was just small shows like Bakersfield and a festival setlist? Wouldnt you be crying bloody murder? Sometimes you just gotta enjoy it, and leave em be. We can be more critical next year, for now, just take it easy and enjoy it.

I'm seeing them in six days at Panorama.

And I've seen them so many times already, I'm probably good for life. When the opportunity arises and I can make the trip, I go for the fan in me. Doesn't matter if it's a one-off or a tour leg.

Yeah, we all know that festival shows tend to be 'greatest hits' shows. That's why they're there, after all. I never really expect much out of them except to see TR & Co. get warmed up and get a taste of what the next tour is going to be like. Everyone that gets pissed off because Trent played THTF, HLAH or Hurt again should really know better by now.

Besides, familiarity breeds contempt, anyway. The Big Come Down, Reptile, and Down In It were all considered 'rare' for a long time until a tour had them in their set list consistently. And you can't deny that March of the Pigs rips the roof off EVERY time, even if it is a staple of more or less every show ever. So yanno.

When I go to a show after a release, I look for the new stuff. That's why I tend to avoid the festivals (that and the general environment/price) because I know what I'd be getting.

Nope, cause doing that from the back wouldve been a waste.
