‘Now I’m Nothing – Wave, Wave, Wave, Wave Goodbye’
The title of this post comes from an early Nine Inch Nails song that was never released officially on any album but every hardcore fan is well aware of. The song is titled Now I’m Nothing and contains the Wave Goodbye lyric … which is the name that Trent Reznor decided to give the last Nine Inch Nails tour … which ends tonight at The Wiltern Theater here in Los Angeles, CA:
I can honestly say that I have been an ardent NIN fan since 1989 (I distinctly remember hearing about the band who writes their Ns backwards and trying to spell out the NIN logo on the chalkboard in my History class) and have had the extreme fortune to see the band live 27 times over the years (in various US States and countries). Tonight’s show will be my 28th show … I am both excited and a bit sad about tonight’s show. I am even more excited and totally nervous about my interview with Trent Reznor later on this afternoon (scheduled to take place between sound check and showtime). I’m planning to video record the whole thing for sharing here on the blog ON SATURDAY since I do NOT POST on September 11 (which is tomorrow). The interview will be similar to the interview I conducted with TR last December on the last night of the Lights in the Sky Tour.
I haven’t yet decided but since I had such a great time in the NIN mosh pit at the last show at The Henry Fonda Theater, I may enjoy the show from the pit again tonight. If so, I’ll be off the grid and I will not be tweeting from the show. It’s a bit surreal to think that the live incarnation of Nine Inch Nails will come to an end tonight but I cannot express how thrilled I am to be able to be in attendance at tonight’s performance.

Trent, as a NIN fan for a long time can you please ask Mr. Reznor one serious question for me; when the hell is he going to take me out on a date:)!!

Very cool of you to record the interview also.

Now can we stop with the incessant NIN posts. Do we really need to know every city they “say goodbye to”?

Hey Trent go and enjoy their last concert without worrying about tweeting about the concert. You can tell us all about it on Saturday. With this being their last show take it all in while you can!!!!

Although I (like others, it seems) have had enough of the NIN posts, I really think it’s awesome that you are such a good and avid fan and clearly have been with them ‘through it all’ and very dedicated AND lucky to have sen them so many times. Anyway, enjoy your concert!!!

Geebus people! He’s excited about a band that he LOVES! Don’t you all have one of those?? I think it’s great that he has been able to attend these last shows and share with other fans his experiences! Just chill out, y’all!

Trent, this is your site so post all you want about NIN! I love them, but have only seen them once in concert. It was an amazing show, and I wish I’d been able to see them on this tour. I’m still saying that TR will bring NIN back out on the road again someday.

I’m just saying like keep it down to one every few days, not everyday thing.
YOU SHOVE IT!
