9 Nine In Nails Tales
b'I vividly remember my first encounter with Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails...it was April 17, 1990, at the old RPM club in Toronto... Nine Inch Nails were opening for Goth God Peter Murphy and frankly, no one cared...\\nI was there with a bunch of people chatting at the bar while this noisy band blitzed their way through the first four songs of their set...and then came song number five...it was an insanely heavy version of the Queen song, \\u201cGet Down Make Love\\u201d from their 1977 album, \\u201cNews of the World\\u201d...\\nIt took about 30 seconds for the crowd to pick up that the band had launched into a cover...and it was a good cover...an excellent cover...and I remember seeing the entire audience turn as one toward the stage to see what the hell was going on...\\nMy memory is that everyone suddenly got into the band...and for the rest of the set\\u2014which consisted of \\u201cRingfinger,\\u201d Down In It,\\u201d and \\u201cHead Like A Hole\\u201d\\u2014the crowd went nuts...and we were rewarded for our attention by the band smashing their gear to bits at the end...\\nThat was it...I was sold on this new band and I\\u2019ve been a fan ever since... Nine Inch Nails is one of my desert island bands...I\\u2019ve seen the band more times than I can count...I\\u2019ve interviewed Trent on multiple occasions...\\nI have just about every single physical release, including several box sets...if you look in my cd library, you\\u2019ll find that I have more Nine Inch Nails bootlegs than anyone else...I even wrote a book on the first two albums...\\nWith all that in mind, here are some of my favourite stories about Trent and the band...and because I like being cute about things, I\\u2019m calling this show \\u201cNine Inch Nails tales\\u201d.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
