Nine Inch Nails

[Mouseboy11]

Compared to their other albums. It just doesn't have the same majesty. Reptile, Something I can never have and hurt are the onky tracks with both.

[lightning1000]

Closer is pretty intense.

[kaosmark2]

Something I can never have is on PHM, I get what you mean about majesty but then The Downward Spiral isn't about that, it's just straight up in your face and angry and it delivers this with tracks like "Mr. Self Destruct" "March Of The Pigs" and "Big Man With A Gun"

[Com Truise]

TDS definitely isn't their best album, maybe fourth best I'd say, but it'll always be my favourite, adore all the tracks on it.

[SOAD]

For me:

1. The Downward Spiral

2. Year Zero

3. Broken EP

4. With Teeth

5. The Fragile

6. The Slip

7. Pretty Hate Machine

8. Ghosts

Ghosts

Ghosts is nice, I don't tend to skip it much when it comes on but neither do I ever have the inclination to put it on myself much.

Man, I wish I was seeing NIN this summer

[Areophobia]

So will NIN be in the light for the entirety of their Leeds set?

Unfortunately I couldn't afford a ticket for a while and now see that Reading tickets are sold out but Leeds are still on sale so will probs end up there.

If NIN are on at Leeds between 19.10 and 20.30 (clashfinder) then I can't see there being much darkness...

It would be nice in the dark, but it's going to be amazing whatever the light is. Hoping to catch them on tour as well anyway

[lightning1000]

That stage set up won't work at all in the light though. It'll be really distracting having stage hands wheeling shit around the stage all the time in clear view of the audience. I think they'd be better if they just came onstage and played without any of that.

[howlin_pete]

I'm sure the last time they played, a lot of it was in the dark. By the time Hurt came on, it was anyway

Nine Inch Nails should play after Biffy.

Nine Inch Nails should play after Biffy.

[Gucci Piggy]

That is not a bad idea as they do have bands following the headline acts at European festivals though they have different licensing laws so it isnt going to happen, sadly.

Ideally they should have headlined the NME/Radio one tent, that would have been amazing.

[Com Truise]

There are laws in this country that prevent a sub headliner playing after a headliner?

I think he took my suggestion to mean Biffy would play at their normal time with Nine Inch Nails on afterwards. What I actually meant was they should just switch round but Biffy still be classed as a headliner. Wouldn't happen though, because it's unfair on Biffy and they shouldn't accept that.

[Areophobia]

A geunine question though - if NIN DO start at Leeds at 19.10, around what time will it be dark? In other words? How many songs will they play in darkness?

I saw The Prodigy at Leeds and do remember a number of their songs being in the dark, though I can't think how many...

And like NIN, they have a powerful lightshow, so at least we'll see some of it.

I saw NIN at Sonisphere and the light show was wasted during daylight...

Sure I've posted something like this before but

[Com Truise]

Leeds sunset - 20:17* [didn't adjust the date]

Lmao, well my clashfinder has them finishing at 20.35. We'll have to see what the actual times are though, I could be way out if they are starting later, according to what someone posted.

Anyone want to attempt a set list? How many songs do you think they'll have?

I'll bet on them beginning with Copy of A/Sanctified and ending with Hand That Feeds, Head Like A Hole and Hurt. What comes in between is anyones guess.
