Nine Inch Nails

The last time that I saw NIN was probably somewhere around 93/94. It was in Pittsburgh. NIN opening for David Bowie with NIN and Bowie doing several songs together in between their sets. One helluva show!

Edit: I just looked it up. It was 9/23/95.

but there can only be so many more Emax and Ensoniq keyboards left on Earth to destroy on stage – is he using replicas now?

Hey now, they were the DX7 and at least some of the most sold keyboards! Maybe he’s moved on to the MicroKorg…

Manchester on Tuesday, well excited and taking my 13yo daughter to her first ever gig (I think I chose well for her)

@jamesstiff you are in for a treat

Kultschar · 2025-06-15T09:49:32.815Z

Oh wow - 13 years old? Great stuff!

Im off to Manchester and London since I rarely go to gigs (always bloody on when I’m overseas).

Not sure whether to avoid all NIN info on the internet until Tues to avoid tonights Dublin setlist spoiler.

subduct · 2025-06-15T12:22:14.757Z

I thought about trying that and realized there’s no way I’m that disciplined so will be glued to the internet and the discord this evening!

NIN “B” Stage last night. Wonder what that could be

I was 12 the first time I saw them in 2000 @ Roskilde festival.

Seeing them on July 5 at the same festival. The setlist they played the other day was amazing, can’t wait to see what they have cooked up for their festival line-up.

You’re in for a huge treat, last night’s show was immense
@Kultschar hope you enjoyed!

Was ace! At main stage tonight (B last night)

cLAss85 · 2025-06-18T21:14:36.177Z

I cannot wait for the tour closer at the Forum. I’ll be in the pit! So very pumped.

thermionic · 2025-06-18T22:59:38.212Z

I do wish I could see them at a venue with amazing sound, did catch a few surprise club shows when I could and at Prince’s old Glam Slam club in South Beach.

We bought a younger generation buddy / former roomie a flight and tickets to see NIN so he gets his mind blown, that should be a fun experience.

Kultschar · 2025-06-19T09:41:55.283Z

Great show last night despite the tech issues with Trents Mic and Guitar. He stormed off at the end after the last song looking mad - wouldnt want to be the tech responsible haha

Hashslug · 2025-06-19T11:06:50.361Z

I saw them in Dublin on Sunday and they were immense, it was my first time seeing them.

Having the B Stage worked really well, was great to see them with all the synths.

Kultschar · 2025-06-19T12:01:56.205Z

The gear geek in me spotted a Timetosser , Bastl mixer, Hologram Chroma and Erica Synths Nightverb (or was it the new delay) on Atticus B Stage rig!! Trent kicking in drum loops and atmospheres via his Push 3 when playing the piano. He also had one hell of a big MIDI controller on another rig, tons of knobs which lit up diff colours!!!

Not sure what pad machine Atticus has here (you can see it in the reflection)…

Edit: pads are a Pioneer DJS

Also on there is an Audrey II Horoscope Drone Machine

Trents B Stage

Cool photo!
I’d love to see what Alessandro C had on his side, although he was mainly playing bass on the B Stage I’m sure he had some modular stuff there too.

Kultschar · 2025-06-19T12:21:19.330Z

Yes not seen a pic of that but for sure modulars and his tascam tape deck.

Guess that whopping midi controller is def the DJ TechTools Midi Fighter 64 and a Akai LPK25

thermionic · 2025-06-19T13:04:20.138Z

Oh wow, spouse was early to a show (around With Teeth? I think QOTSA opened and Homme was drunk and aggressive to the crowd, whined that people were only there to see NIN) anyway, they got to sit in on a pre-show rehearsal,

Drummer fucked up a bit and got scorched over the mic with something like “I don’t fuck up, you don’t fuck up” (in that they all practice a lot to get on that level). Trent has super high expectations for himself and everyone around him, I’d shed my skin and run out of the venue to avoid that

ezilybored · 2025-06-19T15:38:22.173Z

Saw the show last night. Was immense despite the tech issues at the end. It was quite an old school sight to see Trent smash some stuff on stage again

The Boys Noize remix bits were amazing too. I thought it might be a bit gimmicky but it was really well put together
