Reznor is really rocking that tambourine

 

[Kadarin]

I agree, that is truly awesome! Wish I could have been there for that... :thumbsup:

Sounds like the dragged Numan off the couch to sing for the first time in 20 years!

NIN rocked it though.

[PingSpike]

That was great.

 

[BTA]

I was expecting Randy Newman too...took me a bit to figure out what was going on.

Hey it's still early today.

 

[Arcadio]

Awesome performance. Reps to OP.

I like the one he did with fear factory better ..:thumbsup:

I love Fear Factory's version as well.

Saw Numan at the last NIN show with Ns1 and Joesmoke. EPIC show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTxG4BS0u70

More proof that 80's music is better than any other era ever, save for some of the classical stuff from Beethoven, Chopin, and the like.

 

[dennilfloss]

Cars and Are Friends Electric are 70s New Wave (electropunk) songs. We used to dance to them at the disco.

Edit: them, not then.

 

[spidey07]

That drummer was nailing it. Hell, they all were nailing it.

 

[TheInternet1980]

Keep Gary Numan away from NIN.

Peter Murphy as well.

 

[Kadarin]

I agree that Fear Factory's version is also great :thumbsup:

I wouldn't be surprised if Gary Numan was an influence to Trent/NIN.

 

[TheInternet1980]

I wouldn't be surprised if Gary Numan was an influence to Trent/NIN.

Of course. Same with Peter Murphy. But for some reason, either of them with NIN in a live setting, irritates the hell out of me.

Yes, but that song in particular rose to prominence in the 80's along with many others. Hell, I didn't know that most of my favorite Hall & Oates songs were released in the late 70's because they were really popular in the 80's too.

 

[dennilfloss]

Indeed. Sometimes songs get a second wind later.

Found my Cars 45 amongst the bunch that wasn't given away by the wifey (unfortunate misunderstanding that cost me several hundred 45s while I was in the field checking fossils for my Ph. D.).

Yes. He was very good.

 

[MarkXIX]

Sweet! I remember having some of those as a kid. I remember unwrapping my record player at Christmas as a kid. Big old switch on the side to go between 45 and 78 rpm along with the plastic center piece to switch between the two. Good days...

Look at Robin! You can tell they're having so much fun playing this tune.

 

[scott916]

Yeah, you could tell he was starting to cry at the end of the show because he knew it was all over. Very emotional moment.
