Some a-hole in the crowd as Trent was singing Hurt, threw a f***ing lighter at him and hit him in the lip. No one knew what was going on, b/c he just threw down the keyboard in the middle and walked off stage! No one in the crowd where I was on the floor knew what was going on. Then my brother ran into someone up front and they told him what happened. Crowd members beat the crap out of the guy who did it and security got him. I'm just very p.o.ed b/c that definitely wasn't the last song and we missed out on the rest of a f***ing awesome concert. I don't belong to the official fan club so I--as I'm sure everyone at the concert in Grand Rapids, MI--can apologize for the imbecile, who I really hope got a sound beating. We just don't want Trent and the band to be so pissed that they never come back here.

Jesus Christ.

Wow.

If this is true...



Holy shit. There is going to be a lot of pissed off fans posting soon.

It is -- heard the news about 20 minutes ago from Wil. He's in the AIM NIN chatroom.

I'm crossing my fingers for a vid, and definitely can't wait to see Trent's updated blog

Anyone who is a member of the official fan club, PLEASE let them know that he is not the norm and that Grand Rapids wants NIN back!

I just hope he understands that everyone here is just as pissed as he is.


That's all we did on the way home. My husband, brother, and a couple of friends just ranted and raved and hoped that the guy got the sh*t beat out of him.

Giant asshole is an understatement.

I just got back from this concert and registered just to post about this. It was probably the most frustrating NIN concert out of the 4 I've been to. Who the fuck would throw a lighter at his head during Hurt?!

A giant asshole?

Don't worry there are already 2 threads over there apologizing. People are soo stupid. why pay all that money to go to a show and then act like an asshole?

Yea, the blog should be interesting, like he needs a reason to be pissed off.

Well that goes without saying. A giant DRUNK asshole is probably more like it.

yea, I was thinking the same thing...

...The Day The World Went Away rocked, though.

This really pisses me off, though. At least now i know what happened and can take Trent Reznor off of my temporary shitlist.

~niCk~

Wow...I can't believe that! I'm glad he got the shit kicked out of him. What a gaping anus.

What a fucking asshole. What makes people think its ok to throw a lighter at someone and hit them in the face? Steroid Trent would stomp his ass 1 on 1.

Yea then get his ass sued, better for the fans to take care of it; and then security can step in.

I'm kind of surprised that TR got *that* pissed, though. I mean, to just up and LEAVE. Wow.

Unless it really freaked him out.

I just wish that people would use some common f**king sense. I mean-what do you think would happen? Trent would laugh it off and go on with the show? I wish he would have jumped in the crowd and beat him down himself.

You are kidding right?

Damn... I'm glad I wasn't there. It would suck to have a concert ended like that just because someone in the audience is a douchebag.

I thought it was basic 1st grade knowledge - one doesn't THROW THINGS AT THE FUCKING STAGE.

Good to know the asshole got the shit beat out of him. And Trent has every right to be pissed.

Well, it's just not right to do that. I'd be pissed too. I may explain myself to the rest of the crowd so that they new what was going on. Shit, Twiggy didn't even know what was going on. He stood there for like 2 minutes looking confused as hell.

You throw bras and panties at the stage, not a lighter.

Dude
I am on acid
and that was the best show ever
It was like
THE show
HTML text properties cannot describe my emotions
DUDE

But....Trent...to leave me hurting?


BTW
I was the kid with a striped blue and white t-shirt on.
I love you all
