[QUOTE="the_reverend:258666"][b]dresden dolls[/b]: (a review by someone who doesn't like them for people who probably do) they came out holding bands and bowed while their signature music box music played. By they, I mean 2 people. for some reason the multitude they used to be has shrank down. they played a couple songs that were at least familiar to me before breaking into a song that I know all too well, coin operated boy. they invited everyone to stand up and participate in the rock show. this show was seated, but heck! it was a rock show after all. Then they broke into a black sabbath cover, [i]warpigs[/i]. for song #5, the drums and keys player switched up. the girl grabbed just a mic and the boy, an acustic guitar... but... it with in a couple seconds, a string broke. I guess it was so important of a string that they stopped that song all together. someone from the crowd yelled "[i]do it acapella![/i]" to which the girl quickly replied "[i]no, that would sound stupid[/i]". next was another one of their hits, gravity. the guitar player for NIN, jerome?, came out on acustic guitar for their seventh track when it finish, they played the drums to a NIN song, burn I believe. [b]nine inch nails[/b]: Was that robin williams? ha! sorry, he just looked a lot like him (when robin was younger and had jacked arms). well, I've been a fan of NIN since I was 14. back then PHM was the only thing out and broken was a couple years off. I've seen them on 3 of their tours, twice on the downward spiral tour (dec 94 & feb 95), the fragile tour (june 02), and now the with teeth tour (may 05). I wasn't sure what to expect cause this was a little tiny place compared with the arena rock venues they were in the other times. I would have to say that their stage perfomance was better the other time and the whole stage theatrics too. there wasn't much to their stage show, save them being very cocky on stage and a lot of flashing lights. the other times that I saw them, they played on a much larger level. the 2002 show had gigantic LCD panels that rotated around the band members on robotic arms. though, this show was a lot more intimate of an experience for the whole crowd. they burned through a whole hell of a lot of songs in an hour and a half. from their back catalog, they relied heavily on the fragile CD, but pulled out a track off every major release. they also pulled out a track from the Broken supplement.. tizzight! Someone sent me the set list so I didn't have to figure the songs out from the lyrics notes I made: you know who you are? sin march of the pigs no, you don't something i can never have burn wish the hand that feeds closer (some messed up middle part) the line begins to blur home reptile with teeth even deeper suck (pigface cover) gave up hurt terrible lie head like a hole Granted, there are a coupld PHM tracks that I would have loved to have heard, but shit happens. I had heard previously that the buddyhead/art rock guitarist, Aaron, from the icarus line had joined the NIN fold for their tour... I was a little shocked. I mean, I know the fragile tour lended a filter members but that made sense when I saw them. After hearing the new stuff live, adding Aaron made complete sense. the new material has an art-rock side to it that is just aimed at up-and-coming indie kids to dance too. there is no more of the dark and brooding NIN that girls carrying poetry around in their lunch boxes hating their parents (who ironically probably bought them the CD) along to. now, they have come full circle into the main stream with their new material. this will give them new life, I think. and put them closer to attaining the U2-level that they seem to be aiming for... and by "they" I mean reznor. Anyone who's bee a fan for a long time should notice that his appearence even looks a hell of a lot like bono, even the way that he holds himself on stage. I hope that this tour comes back and is in a bigger venue. I think that they would easily pull off something in a bigger place equal to the theatrics that went down on the other tours. I had actually hear about the last tours costing WAY TOO MUCH money to produce... and I also heard that this tour was doing very well. I guess when it comes down to it, it's all about the music anyhow... so I will stop complaining, ending this review with my recap in one sentence. [b]My inner 14 was really pleased even though my outer old man was jaded[/b][/QUOTE]
