This is gonna get moved... but this was an awesome performance. It's easy to see why Axl wanted to go in that direction. I cared less about NIN before this performance, but after seeing it live on PPV, they stole the show. #1 NIN, #2 performance Aerosmith, #3 RHCP.

Awesome event. Just awesome. Shame GNR couldn't show up.

cool performance, but take away the theatrics and that song is kinda boring actually. I like trent reznor, but that song is just kinda slow to me. But good performance nonetheless.

Take away any theatrics from any song and it becomes more dull. I know what you mean though... Closer was designed to be a mainstream radio song... something catchy to pull in mainstream listeners. NIN has been the only band that has come close to the psychodelic brilliance of Pink Floyd, to a lesser scale, the Beatles... whom influenced both. There is much more to NIN than Closer.

However, Closer is one kick ass song if you've ever experienced it 'right'. Like in a dance club, half drunk with a beautiful woman grinding on your leg :D

Every year I discover a new layer of music or some other element to the song I've never heard before. It's actualy quite complex. Beautifully complex.

agreed, there are just other songs I like better from him, and btw take theatrics away from SCOM,Estranged, Breakdown, RK, Better, the Blues etc and they are still great rock1

The infamous "Mudstock" show. *grin*

Awesome clip.

As others have said - "Closer" is the most "radio-friendly" of the early NIN songs. If you really want to get into the band, you should check out some of their other stuff. If you need suggestions on tracks, just ask. :D

Now - as much as I'd love to keep this thread in the main section for all to enjoy the clip - :heart: - it will have to be moved to the "My World" section.

Touche. I think genuine rock bands, with just guitars and a drum set, don't need any theatrics. The old GNR songs fit that bill. I think there's an element of visuals that make NIN songs, well, better for a lot of fans (however I personally think all of Trent's work is brilliant, w/o visuals). The same could be said for a lot of Pink Floyd's work. I mean, imagine not having the visual of their fantastic stage shows to back up the music when you hear it otherwise... sober that is! I think songs like Madagascar by GNR also rely on a stage show to an extent, and feel a lot of the new material will require this illusion, if you will.

However, smoke a joint (something I haven't done in years) and listen to anything and it's fantastic. Lol. Especially NIN or PF shit.
