Nine Inch Nails performing "Burn" live from the stage at Festival Hall, Melbourne, Australia, 2.25.09. Filmed by Rob Sheridan with the Canon 5D Mark II. Audio mix by Blumpy.
That drums! The rhythm at the beginning works exactly like a spell. It's almost imposible to stop listening the song after hearing it.. So clean and strong.
As a middle-aged guy who grew up on Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and King Crimson, I'd pretty well gotten bored with a lot of the "rock" of the last two decades. I discovered NIN only last year with Year Zero. Loved it. Freakin' heavy stuff, innovative, definitely their own sound, and well worth a little more hearing damage. ... I'll see them in West Palm Beach on May 8. Definitely looking forward to it.
If you're a KC fan then I'm not surprised you got into NIN. To date Fripp and Co put on the best show I've seen live, and in spite of being a "rock" show it was one of the heaviest shows I've been too thanks to the three drummers.
I was at this particular gig and it was easily one of the best NIN gigs I had been to. This lineup worked the best. Trent, Ilan, JMJ & Robin and of course Rob on the camera.
+Sebastián Santacruz In my opinion he delivered the best NIN bass sound live. Pino was great, but he was too clean for my taste, JMJ was perfect for all the heavy stuff, that tone is fucking legendary!
Yeah, Pino was fucking amazing for the "Hesitation Marks" sounds, but JMJ was born to play Burn, or I`m afraid of Americans, or any other song from the 2007-2008-2009 era...
Real talk tho, that gig went OFF (pun not intended). Especially with the power cutting out on the beat. The disappointment was palpable when they resumed with 1,000,000 but the second attempt of Burn was SO GOOD.
The quality is frakking AMAZING ! One of the most incredible video i've ever seen ! Rob Sheridan will become my favorite NIN member... Bravo for the audio mix too !
This rips SO much harder than the studio version... Trent, thanks for playing every one of the hits live on this tour. Jane's should have opened for you, no question.
+Nicole Ancell I agree. He is one of my favourite humans on the planet. I cut my hair about 18 months ago so I had the hair long in front of the ears then clipped around...still growing out now but I just wanted a little bit of Robin in my day to day life :P
Fucking RAD!!!!!!! These guys are the shit. I love this whole series of videos that is shot from a POV on stage as if you were performing with them. Very well done!!!!!!!
I went to that show in MA! AMAZING!! They even played "Gave Up" from the Broken album! Go see the remaining dates if you're anywhere near them...you won't regret it! This is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity to see a reunited Jane's and who knows when Trent will tour again!
+jraybozy thanks for the heads up. I watched it before I saw your comment. When I go to NIN concerts I know I am putting myself in danger with the lights but I just have to weigh the pros and cons :D
I saw them last night and GOD it was THE BEST concert I have been to yet. Thanks so much Trent for coming to Manila! Whoo my neck still hurts from headbanging. :>
