Nine Inch Nails has the best light/effects show I've ever seen...now if they would just do something in front of it other than play the same damn song 25 times over.
I saw Alice Cooper on Halloween once... he was great
Thats hard to compete agaisnt, but the one year CMJ landed on Halloween I took advantage of the badge to see the Misfits. Great show.
I actually remember that... I went to see the Cardigans that night, who were great, though it was decidedly a very UN-Halloween event for me to go to that year... I'll bet the Misfits kicked some scary-arse!

I saw Alice Cooper on Halloween at Roseland once. I also saw (get this) about 2 or 3 days before Halloween Gwar, The Misfits and Mephiskaphelis, also at Roseland. Joey and Marky Ramone came out during the Misfits encore and did a few Ramones songs along with 1969 by the Stooges.

I really don't see your point... if you look at the set lists, they're much different this tour than in previous years, mostly due to there being 3 albums worth of material previously uncovered in America. Also, they've only been on the road for a month or so, now, and since the beginning, they've played a pretty decent variety of songs. Some effects are designed for specific songs, but at the show I saw, they debuted a few songs for that tour, in addition to the regulars.

Is he dissing our NIN for being repetitive? My husband taped the show for me on MHD, then made me a sweet copy, no commercials, cover and all. I asked him if it sounded all the same. He said "Hell yea!"
everyone hope for hurricane Gustav to keep away, we don't need another hurricane.....
We were just talking about that this morning. *Keepeing fingers crossed*
That's all we're talking about over here in Lafayette. Personal plans are being centered around "if the hurricane comes" or "if the hurricane doesn't come". No one ever needs to deal with a hurricane, but I don't even want to think about what would happen if it hit New Orleans again. Believe me, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, too.

If Bonnaroo has taught me anything this year, it's that Superfly should not book bands based on the awesomeness of their light show. *cough cough*
With NIN... I could go either way. They're alright, not really my cup of tea though - but I wouldn't be overly upset to see them headline next year.
Yes...the point of the original post was that their songs all sound alike.
Yes...their light show made up for that for the first 90 minutes or so.....the back 45 were overkill.
Yes...I would see them again.
No...I don't think they should headline Bonnaroo....there were quite literally THOUSANDS of empty seats in a 12,000 seat arena last night...an audience of 80,000 seems out of their depth. However...NIN latenight...PERFECT.

Eh, I disagree with most of this but say what you want about venue size you still have to acknowledge that they killed for about 40,000 at lolla.

seems that is all that people in Mississippi are talking about also

why does the bonnaroo radio play the same songs, every day the past week ive heard, back in to your head by tegan and sarah....there just needs to be more songs!
Yep. And it wasn't exactly particularly lively yesterday, either.
Don't you hate it when you find a number in your phone, but you have absolutely no idea who that person is? I'm wracking my brain right now, trying to think who I know from southwest Connecticut with the name Jen, and it's really pissing me off.

Morning - Three day weekend. Hang out have fun, do nothing. Went out on my porch last night and listened for a couple minutes to the Monster trucks at the State Fair - 4 blocks away.
I can't imagine how low they were there, I was way loud at the house.
Hey guys. That damn hurricane has reached a 4 and I read that FEMA (yes, the oh so reliable FEMA : is preparing for it to hit a 5. We've decided to evacuate to Little Rock, Arkansas. I'll be pissed if Gustav takes a turn for elsewhere after we've made these plans and preparations, but better safe than sorry, I guess.
To everyone who's along the Gulf...stay safe, okay? I'm personally trying to stay calm but am getting stressed since it's all that everyone's talking about down here. Look forward to talking to you guys again soon.
^Thanks, chico. I know, I hope they're all okay, too. And, I'm sorry to get all depressing and worried on you guys. Ever since Katrina, these types are situations are even scarier. For me here in Lafayette (about an hour and a half west of NO), we don't really have to worry about the flooding or levees breaking, but it could still get bad...so that's why we're choosing to leave.
On a lighter note, I'm looking for something fun to do in Little Rock to keep my mind off of the storm. Anyone got any suggestions?
Damn, its hard to believe that there may be another big ass hurricane heading out to that part of the gulf again. If this were me living out there, this may be the straw that broke my back and just decide to relocate elsewhere. I hope all of the Inforoo peeps in the LA/Miss area will make it out of this hurricane alive and maybe (crossing fingers) that the damage won't be too devastating.

^agreed.
Everyone is welcome here in KY if you need so. Be safe.
On a side note, I'm pretty stoked about seeing this years festival lineups with these Dead tour rumors and what not. (not to mention to see what AC/Superfly/Bonnaroo does with this year, considering 2008 to 07 or 06'...I think its safe to call it a disaster (except for the weather, which was amazing - except a little heat thursday I wont complain at all).
On another note - STS9 NYE tickets sold out already! bummer. maybe someone else will be playing in ATL NYE?
In Jackson - things are calm - we expect a huge influx of coastal residents tomorrow. Hopefully this won't be another Katrina - I don't want to deal with a Hurricane in Central Mississippi.
hey all, just got back from the store to get all the essentials for Hurricane survival. We gonna have ourselves a regular hurricane party. This Gustav character is not looking good though. My Mom has already evacuated to Dallas, and my Dad is actually staying in New Orleans, he's being a trooper and is gonna take this thing head on. I'm hoping he'll be alright. I just loaded up on non-perishable food items (i.e. munchie food) a LOT of beer, and some corn. Got most everything i need to battle this thing, everything I need to pass the time if the power goes out.
