NIN|JA

NIN|JA (Nine Inch Nails + Jane’s Addiction)
5/8/2009
Event Rating: ★★★★☆
(non collaborated)*

NIN was a little disappointing. Just because 1) the selection of songs was weird, and 2) the crew Trent had playing with him.

Trent had a new drummer, guitarist and bass player and they were just not as good as the “Beside You in Time” crew… not musically just performance wise. In comparison, Aaron North is crazy and that made half the show the show with “Beside You in Time”.

Another little disappointment is, contrary to the rumors, NIN and JA did not have any on stage collaboration.

Unlike what I expected JA was the headlining band, and, they were really awesome… at that concert they were better than NIN. Perry is crazy and a great performer… to the likes of Freddy Mercury. He changed clothes twice and had these glamorous outfits like sparkly black bell bottom pants with a black and white paisley pirate shirt opened to his belly button and then he wore these gold bell bottom pants with another drop-down gold top and a belt with a white buckle… Dave (shirtless as usual) ripped it on his ax reminding us that he is an awsome guitar player. Just, all in all great show from them…

At the end I left feeling like I got my moneys worth … but not more than that… cause NIN could have been better and a collaboration would have been awesome.
