Nine inch nails

Headliner: nine inch nails
Venue: capital fm arena
Date:24 may 2014
Support: cold cave


First of all I hate the capital fm arena, infact I hate most arenas far to big, not particularly friendly but when you want to see big bands it's not really an option to see them in smaller venues.

First up tonight was a band called cold cave who to be honest where not really my thing 80s electro a little depeche mode, a little bit well all the same. All the drum loops seemed a little the same, the vocals seemed a little the same not that impressed to be honest they need to mix it up a little and go a bit crystal castles once in a while.

Well time for nine inch nails hard to imagine that pretty hate machine 25 years ago, the sort of stat that makes you feel old.

They came on and started with somewhat damaged and blasted through a few tracks including a trio of songs from the downward spiral march of the pigs, piggy and reptile. Doesn't it make you feel better...

A nice more electronic bit in the middle broke up the set nicely before taking it up a notch with closer,wish before finishing the set with the hand that feeds and ending with head like a hole.

The epic encore started with the day the world went away and finally hurt bringing things to a close.

When you see a band that has been around for so long you always ending up moaning about them not playing you're favourite song, and I'm no different with them not playing something I can never have
