   NINE INCH NAILS WAS AMAZING
Ohhh my GOD I love this band. I love Trent Reznor. He's not God, but he is AMAZING. He puts on, in my opinion, the best show in the world.

So, I know this is 3 days late, but it's my first chance...or whatever.

Tuesday, NIN played at Red Rocks, which is one of the BEST venues in the world. It's a natural amphitheater in the foothills, the stage is at the bottom and the seats stare down on it. You can see all of the Denver-Metro area lit up at the stage.

Even though we were row 45, the last of assigned seating and not general admission, we were right about smack-dab in the middle and had a good view of the stage (albeit far away). Too bad a lot of the morons around us were smoking pot a lot.

Anyway, Deerhunter opened about dusk, and Antonio kinda liked them because he said it sounds like they were singing about killing people. They were pretty good, but i felt bad for them when people cheered as they said, "this is the last song we'll be playing for you tonight." =/ jerks.

Anyway, after that, the seats were all filled up, and, at 9, NINE INCH NAILS CAME ON!!!!!! =D they started with, i believe, Head Down from their new album...At first, they played a couple medium-speed songs...

BUT NOBODY WAS FUCKING MOVING!!!!!!!! D= they stood there like fucking ZOMBIES, staring. At the third song, Trent Reznor said, "Okay, it's time to wake the FUCK up!!" and started March of Pigs, which is a FAST and angry song, one of my favorites, and people still BARELY moved. Meanwhile, I was jumping around and screaming like an idiot (or as Antonio said, "an autistic kid" =_=)

Nobody around me moved much for the entire show, but I didn't care. I went nuts and had SO much fun. I love that band. The lights show was absolutely incredible. Trent Reznor is a genius.

I, unfortunately, was too enthralled to record what songs came on, but my favorites were March of Pigs, the great destroy, God Given, Survivalism, 1,000,000, Ghosts, Discipline, and Reptile. I'd say Hurt...but...

Dx during Hurt, I started crying. Inexplicably. I love that song, even if I prefer Johnny Cash's version, but I cried the first time I heard it, too. My only guess is that I can associate with the feeling of wanting to prove that you're real, that you're still alive. Also, I can identify with the feeling that you are worthless and bad in the eyes of others, and, to some extent, yourself, but you are still yourself and you want to remain true to who you are.

So, I cried. Well, and I was also very sad because I knew the concert was wrapping up and I wanted to stay forever xD

poor Trent Reznor. He's old enough to be my father, but I don't care; I love him so much! Not romantically, that's just silly, but I DO think he's superrr sexy -he has the most sexy voice I've ever heard. It's all quiet and kind of awkward, but deep.

Me, too. I'm really quiet and feel uncomfortable talking to people. It's awkward cos I never know what to say to anyone these days.

anyway. I didn't bring my Degicam for fear of losing or breaking it...good thing, too, cos I almost lost and broke the disposable camera i brought xD

here's some other people's footage, though!
