Last night was the best concert I've ever been to. That's right, I'm talking about Nine Inch Nails at The Tabernacle. The opening band were The Dredsen Dolls, who were amazing. I was expecting a suckfest. It was a girl singer/pianist and a guy drummer. That was it, and it was some of the most original, beautiful music I've heard in a while and the drummer was amazing. They covered "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath and "Karma Police" by Radiohead and they blew the top off the joint. Incredible. Then after about 15 mins, out came Trent & co. They opened with "Wish" and from there completely kicked everyones ass. Though I thought the setlist was a little odd, the show was incredible, and since it was night 2 in Atlanta, I don't know what the first night's setlist consisted of. Trent did have a temper tantrum during "Piggy" because his mic wasn't up loud enough, which is understandable. I would've probably done the same thing. He threw a mic into the crowd, grabbed another one, it wasnt working right, so he threw it directly at the sound guy at the side of the stage and screamed "Can I get a mic that works you stupid fucking cocksucker?!" all while the band is still playing. Killer. They closed with "Head Like A Hole" and the night couldn't have been better.

Oh wait, yes it could've..before the show starts I'm sitting there in my seat and Daniel starts hitting my arm going "Dude! Dude!" and I'm like "What?" so I turn around and walking by us is Morgan Rose and John Connolly from Sevendust. So instinctively I put out my hand at Morgan and I say "Hey man hows it going?!" and he retorts "Great man, how are you" I tell him that I'm doing great and that I'm a big fan of him and his band. He thanked me, said he really appriciated it and went on to sit a few rows over from us on the balcony. Apparently I was so convincing that Daniel thought that I was friends with Morgan. So yeah, I met Morgan Rose, suck it.

Then on the way home we stopped at Steak N Shake on the way home, met up with Robert aka Billy Bong and chilled there for a while. Then on the way home me and Daniel got into a heated 20 minute debate over...get this...Exits. That's right. 20 Mins of my life was wasted arguing with Daniel about fucking EXITS on the interstate. How do you even argue about something like that? I'm not exactly sure, but we did it.

Overall one of the most amazing nights ever. Saw NIN kick ass, met Sevendust. What a night. Oh yeah the NIN set went something like this:

March Of The Pigs

Some Song Off 'The Fragile'
The Line Begins To Blur
