NiN Update

Well, the concert was a smashing success.

After some band opened for 30 minutes, the Queens of the Stone Age re-opened for about an hour. Then, after a short wait, we were treated to Trent, himself. NiN played for two straight hours, with no breaks longer than 10 seconds. Trent covered nearly all of his (what 4?) albums, mostly concentrating on earlier stuff, but definitely hitting some of his "With Teeth" songs. Near the end, he incorporated a neat overhead projector movie overlay with images of animals, violent humans, and other politically charged visuals while playing some of his new presumably protest songs.

He satisfied all the NiN fans by closing with Trent's likely most well-known song, "Head Like a Hole," in which he let the clamoring audience chant the chorus, "Head like a hole, black as your soul, I'd rather die than give you control... (x2)... bow down before the one you serve, you're going to get what you deserve (x2)." For NiN fans, I don't think you could ask for a better show, unless you wanted Trent to jump into the mosh pit or something...
