Nine Inch Nails
Nov. 8th, 1994 07:30 pmAgain, a month later in Madison. The four of us who had seen them at the Riverside were psyched to see them again. That show was cut short (no encore), possibly due to technical difficulties, so we felt the need to see them again.
Chuck and Nick were impressed with Marilyn Manson and wanted to see them again. Phil and I were not so much, and weren't in a hurry to get to the show, and we arrived at the Coliseum just as they were ending their set. I felt bad afterward, that we'd made them miss the band.
We did see the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. Let's see... Rose had someone throw darts at his back. Enigma put his face in a shower of sparks from a grinder to light a cigarette. And ate a light bulb (insert lame joke about a ring of fire the next morning). The Armenian Rubber Man put himself through an unstrung tennis racket. And some guy hung heavy things from his piercings. Like irons from his nipples. Or a leather jacket on a hanger through his septum.
NIN was good. The place was bigger, so we had a little more room on the floor, but there was still moshing. The other guys were up farther than I was. Chuck got slammed into a big guy who got mad at him and pitched him. He was in some pain. I got a boot across my forehead. It broke the skin and stung a bit, and left a mark for a while.
