best part of the show was the visuals, the music was just.. bad. i guess the venue is at fault. everything sounded like one long snare drum and it was awful. i got a headache. yeah its a recurring theme in my concert reviews BUT FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST THERE WAS NO BASS WHATSOEVER. just loudness. just ear-scraping SHIT. fucking shitty. i was in the pit for most of the time, too.
this big flourescent cage that encompassed the band was awesome though. on this 'cage' were visuals popping up everywhere, and it was backed up by the bigscreen in the very back. so, so, so tight looking. it was very oldschool in style.. imagine a 200 foot wide commodore display... but it was only extensively used for one song, and then that was it.
also what the fuck is up with fucking goth culture. bunch of terrible people.worst fucking crowd i have ever experienced. you want to know something else, trent fucking dedicated this fucking concert to Dimebag Darrel (R.I.P) of Pantera. do you know what that means for me? it means every skinhead/redneck in south texas goes nigger hunting in the parking lot while i am trying to find my car and go home. i thought it was going to die. maybe its wrong for me to attribute the dedication to the crap i experienced (one bottle thrown at me, bunch of "nigger" comments, guy follows me to my car and yells "BOO") to the dedication to pantera but jesus christ, what the fuck is up with redneck goth culture. all the fucking southville bush-supporting hicks came out tonight and it was terrible. why do they even listen to the music of trent reznor, he is anti-bush as fuck and probably is homosexual
lastly the pit was SORRY. i mean, SORRY as FUCK. more standing and staring than at an autechre concert. music is supposed to move you, how the fuck can you just stand there, and then get mad at me for bumping into you? what the fuck's your problem motherfucker

yeah im serious though trent roused up the emotions of every pantera skinhead in the fucking crowd and they decided it was time to give the black man HELL. was it even a brother who shot dimebag darrel? no it was a fucking lunatic. why dont they go invade a mental clinic instead of charging after me at full speed, with a beer bottle in hand while im just trying to get to my fucking vehicle so i can go home?

what a bummer man. i heard the show up here last weekend was the balls. my friend said it was the best nine inch nails show since the moore theatre in seattle 1994. i didn't get to go of course, festival concerts and 6mo old babies don't mesh well.

wow, you got ripped. i can relate though; i've seen a more than my fair share of acts whom have been entirely destroyed by sound engineer incompetence.
(i saw nin twice last year on their au tour. from all accounts they were brilliant shows; very enjoyable.)
regarding some of your comments:
also what the fuck is up with fucking goth culture. bunch of terrible people.worst fucking crowd i have ever experienced.
and
lastly the pit was SORRY. i mean, SORRY as FUCK. more standing and staring than at an autechre concert.
wow, much of the crowd here in australia were definitely goth, but they were the nicest crowd for a band we'd ever met; was one of the reasons it was so enjoyable. and the pit was crazy; people were going nuts. i had to drag myself out of it a few times to catch a breather.
i've heard aussies tend to 'go off' more at shows then you yanks; evidently this is true?

the first and original skinheads played ska music and preached peace and love and unitiy.. but that slowly changed and it seems it's been a while now that the skinheads are no longer the white ska-heads all fun and love but the far-righted shits, nazi boys and gays.

trent reznor was bullied at school and apparently his chest hair is fake.
the man is why emo exists for goodness' sake! maybe he really is sad and stuff though, and longs for a warm cup of milk before bed, reading manga.

the downword spiral is a fucking good album, and broken is pretty great in a simple but evil way too. a thousand ways to make it true, I want to do terrible things to you. I actually never even heard the fragile yet, but saw a music video 'there is no me' or 'there is only me' or somthingerather which was pretty good, not GOD IS DEAD good, but pretty fairly okayish. ++ham

I saw NIN in DC last year,
I wasnt big on the visuals except the screen they were different visuals than you described.
The sound was awesome so it probably was just the venue you were at. That is unfortunate.
The pit was awesome for me, at one point I got so exhausted (the crowd is one big fucking amoeba thing here in DC. one big force swaying back and forth. The pit isnt clearly here or there it just sorta comes at you) anyway I thaught the song playing was slower so I walked back to rejoin my friends I heard "this world threw me away" (Burn, one of the best songs to mosh to) I sliced my body thru the crowd into the pit with my knee hitting some unfortunate goth kid in the back of the head who really should have been more aware of his surroundings (he looked like a deer in the headlights towards the people in the pit so he sort of was asking for it) the pit was pretty brutal (as it should be)... I was also pretty lucky when Closer came on.. to all sides of me were women two sides were other couples and the girl in front of me I recognized from highschool so she was fair game... the girl behind me had big tits that my face kept going into as she jumpd and the crowd swayed forward....
I'm sorry it was shit for you in Texas. Should try the DC crowd...

"Trent really wanted a pet flying squirrel and was devastated to find it would not be possible due to the fragile nature of flying squirrels when kept as pets (they get depressed). Trent went on to write 'the Fragile' wich is one of my favorite albums"

Would be nice if they filled up the whole arena with fans. Then, instead of NIN playing, they look the doors and gas the lot. That would be very goth.

I really like the less rockish NiN songs..
The Quiet version of The Day The Whole World went away has pretty much my favorite piano melody ever. Yeah it's emo, but that can be good in small doses too.
My buddy saw Trent live at some festival with a full orchestra behind him, said it was amazing.

emo is bands like My Chemical Romance, The Used, Panic at the Disco, Finch, Fallout Boy etc etc...
The really winey voices and shitty my gf broke up with me type lyrics... and the music videos have some sort of a goth theme to em. (I.E. The Black Parade. Panic at the Disco dressing up like mad hatter and doing poses that are similar to a Clockwork Orange)
Tho Trents lyrics are depressive they are hardly emo.
