NIN: Day 1 Philadelphia Show review
Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m a huge fan of NIN and Trent Reznor. Going to highschool in Greenville Pennsylvania I was only 30 minutes from Trent’s hometown of Mercer PA. Trent’s uncle taught me in highschool, was the driving Ed teacher also and we use to listen to the albums while we drove.My mom sold Trent a phone for his grandmother at one time. I have a history with NIN and first seen them in 1994. I was 15 and it was the first concert I went to that wasn’t with me parents. My cousin took me and I was hooked ever since.
Fast Forward almost 30 years later and I’m in Philadelphia about to get the opportunity to photograph one of my favorite bands ever. Nine Inch Nails. The Met was filled with smoke before the band came out. Waiting eagerly to get our peek at Trent. Bam he comes out and with him brought the brightest and craziest strobe light show I have ever seen on stage. This one was a tough photo terrain but was well worth it.
NIN setlist was a good mix of old and new. I did secretly wish we got more of the old tunes, but any NIN song is better than none. Of the first night of two nights in Philly the highlights of the setlist for me would be, “March of the Pigs”, “Piggy”, “Gave Up”, “Head like a Hole” and “Happiness in slavery”. It’s crazy that years ago, Trent use to destroy his instruments on stage and now he much more calmer. The whole show and crowd was amazing. Everybody was singing along and just having the time of their lives. I’ve been lucky to have been able to seen NIN a few times in my life and they never disappoint. Trent is the epitome of lead singers. You also can’t forget about his backing band who killed it. Robin Finck and Atticus Ross are just amazing. Ilan Rubin on drums is insane, and Alessandro on bass and keys just adds that extra spice to the mix. I couldn’t have been more excited and thrilled to been able to get this opportunity to cover NIN. I’m still on a huge high from it. I hope we get to see NIN more often than we have.

About W.A.S.P.
Few bands in the history of rock n roll have ever incited the love, the hate, and the raw emotional effect this band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles, California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the band’s unique style of shock and rock caused religious organizations, local city councils, parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.
The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social, and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold-out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

Them Damn Kings “Shown With A Fist”
Them Damn Kings from NJ just released a new single “Shown With a Fist”.
If you like your music in your face with a touch of old school rock and roll this is the band for you. It’s got gritty vocals and pounding drums adding in some killer guitar shreds.
It’s a song that you listen to when you want to get into a bar fight or want to drive your car really fast down the highway.
It’s worth a listen, check out the lyric video below with a little bonus guitar mortal kombat shred off.

Ashes to Omens “Feed Me More”
Ashes To Omens are a band from Georgia who’s latest single “Feed Me More” has a great sound to it. It reminds me of bands around the mid to late 2000s. They have a good mixture of sound. The song is a perfect blend of hard rock and metal with the vocals very crisp and delivered with passion.
The song “Feed Me More” has a great melody and works well with the bands style and genre of music. It also is a great title to a song because after listening to it I wanted more of the band.
Some will say that it’s very radio rock/metal and sometimes I do have issues with that but I felt that this song even though it does have that feel to it, isn’t just a radio rock song for the sake of being a radio rock song. I think this single is worth a listen to and could possibly be a track that might make your playlist.
