Ok here`s another news flash from hatefull, fear mongering Ohio. I was just in Toledo last week too.

I am SO FUCKING BORED right now!!! So I guess this is the time to finally write all about my Nin trip.
Day started off driving for two hours out to Detroit listening to fucking Metallica!!!!! GGGGAAHHHHH!!!!! Anyway it was boring sitting in a car for two + hours but got there ok and in time and all and man i must say Detroit is as much as a dirt hole as people say it is. The more run down parts of Cleveland make me feel rich in comparison. We then proceeded to stand in line for aprox. an hour (boring as fuck except guys trying to scalp tickets RIGHT INSIDE the arena and next to a "It is illegal to sell tickets here" sign) until they finally opened the doors. I then set out on my average pre-concert checking out the merchandise tables and seeking out beer or Jack Daniels in any form. I then found the beer man and ordered up a 24 oz. Miller Lite (tastes great, less filling) which I found later was 8.80!!!!!!!!!! EIGHT FUCKING EIGHTY FOR ONE BEER!!!!! JESUS!!!! I know Detroit is one of the poorest cities in the US but damn. Then looking at the merch table saw the shirts where anything from 25-40! WOW. Expensive damn trip. I`m used to shirts being 20 possibly 30 but 40 damn.. Ok on to the show. Autolux opened and where ....eh...o.k.... first two songs were good but then they kinda lost me after that and i don`t think the audience even followed past the first song, you could tell. One of the floor members was so kind as to yell at the female drummer "NICE TRACK MARKS CUNT RAG!" Queens of the Stone Age played second and where ok, they lost me in the middle of the show when he started turning 3 min songs into these enlongated solo 6 min ones.
Finally!! NIN came on. Damn they played their fucking hearts out! Trent even crowd surfed during March Of the Pigs. They played one of the songs i wanted to hear for the night Eraser and even did a video montage to it. I fucking cheered when during Right where it belongs they showed a clip of Bush, hehe.
After all the cheering and pouring myself into the audience member at one of your fave bands shows role I was quite tired plus I had consumed 48 oz of beer and a Jack and Coke and liquor can make me sleepy. So I feel asleep in the car for an hour till we reached Toledo so we could crash at Cory`s sisters room she shared with three other girls,man that would have been a good night!! But no, one comes back drunk and annoys Cory. WHAT THE FUCK? I for the record love drunk or high people. They always crack me up. I was having a ball. So we hit this one guys house instead that he knew in the area and man was this guy a typical fucking Ohio guy. Jesus christ. Fucking typical Nigger this nigger that bullshit. I found out too the guy even has a fucking Nazi emblem tattoo on his back and Nazi flags on either side of his bed. Come to Ohio sometime people, nice place to raise your children. Well anyway i`m tired then they want to have a fucking drinking party here. Whatever they were both underage so hey go for it, i can get beer whenever. Lo and behold they bring back beer and what is it???? like 4 cans of Coors Lite (ok) and Nady Lite and Bud Select......WHAT....THE....FUCK?? some of the nastiest fucking beer. Bud Select is glorified bottled water. Ok crash there for the night drink maybe one beer hear some damn nigger jokes then go to sleep. Only slept so many hours because i`m on this hard wood floor no pillow or nothing. Next morning heading back out listened to god damn Metallica for another fucking hour something. We could have just turned on 100.7 and heard the same fucking songs, he wouldn`t have had to buy those CDs. Then got home went on to shower and what not listen to With Teeth almost as a cleansing to get out all the fucking Metallica and finally get some more sleep.
About 5 or 6 got picked up again and headed out to Cleveland got to the show promptly and got our floor wristbands after walking around the stadium about twice because people going "oh you pick those up over there". Got to floor where i actually ran into Jason Parish who i hadn`t seen since High School at least 4 years. Talked to him, found out the guy likes Mars Volta (rock on), told him to enjoy the show and get the fuck ready for the pit. Show started and Autolux played better this time and no one had anything to say to them. Queens played the same and Josh Homme looked like he was busting a nut on his guitar gyrating around like some heavy metal Elvis or something. Right before Nin ended up talking to some guy in the pit I had no idea who he was but talked about being to NIN shows before and was actually in Cleve for the Self Destruct tour in 95`. Damn that would have been a show to see. Amused me too when someone yelled "TURN THE FUCKING LIGHTS OFF!!!" wanting the show to start and he yells "BRING THE FUCKING MC RIB BACK!!!", just my sense of humor.
NOW.............NINE INCH FUCKING NAILS!!!!!!! As soon as the lights died the crowd surged and all pushed forward. it was the same set list from the night previous but who fucking cared?!? I was fucking like ten feet away from Trent Reznor. I think I only moshed half the time because Trent was RIGHT THERE. It was like some movie or something. The feeling like you`re dreaming or you know this is all in your head and come tomorrow it won`t exist you`ll forget all about it or something. No matter how gay that sounded. I was quite star struck, something I swore i`d never be. Well the show went on as perfect as ever except for the fucking effects guy who would keep turning lights on between songs and totally fucked up the video during the three songs, pissed Trent off, called them "fucking cocksuckers" or something and threatened to kick all their asses. I don`t think they was one problem from then on, HEHE. So I basically stared at everything the whole concert, I looked at the guitar player being one myself, then wait, there`s Twiggy! but wait, Trent`s doing this now! Come the last couple songs I knew it was gonna end so during Hand That Feeds I knew Head Like a Hole was next and last so I tried my darndest to push myself up front and there was this Meatloaf looking mother fucker about two/three times bigger than just standing there like a rock not letting me budge anywhere. "I would do anything for love" mother fucker.
Then there was a giant car horn symphony in the car garage. And I came home reaking of sweat and tired.
