If Nine Inch Nails has been the soundtrack to my life, Alice in Chains has tried to be the soundtrack to my death on multiple occasions. It all started off well – my first real kiss was while listening to the SAP EP. Then, when I was 14 years old, one day after [...]

Quite a few people have asked me what I’m going to do now that the NIN shows are over.The immediate answer is ‘I don’t have a clue’. A lot of HRC’s real estate went to NIN news and shows. It feels sad all on its own, and it makes me sadder when people [...]

I’ve been having really intense dreams lately. I’ve also been having pretty serious insomnia issues- so perhaps my elongated naps are making for these crazy dreams. Dreams are always a mystery- what do they mean? Sometimes I don’t want to know. Alas….I bring you dream themed songs:Dream On / AerosmithDreams / [...]

The ‘Shock and Raw‘ tour got off to an interesting start. After tour headliners Five Finger Death Punch’s record release party in Las Vegas last weekend, lead guitarist Zoltan Bathory went missing. After a couple days of speculation, and a fast approaching first day of the tour, he surfaced; unscathed and with little [...]

I’ve always been a little obsessed with serial killers….well, ever since I went to see Silence of the Lambs when I was 10 years old. I have no idea how my parents let me see that, but that’s beside the point. I went on to study Abnormal Psychology in college, but decided against [...]

It felt a bit odd as I walked down 11th Street past the Repulsion show at DNA Lounge, where a sea of metalheads in black took a cigarette break. I looked at them, wide eyed with a sense of longing. I really need a good metal show in my life right now. [...]

I honestly had no business being at this show.It was initially supposed to be part of my ‘getting me through my post-NIN depression’ schedule. But instead, it became sandwiched between 2 NIN shows that I was flying in and out of LA for. But! I loves me some Karen O.I consumed mass [...]

Let’s just say that Nine Inch Nails has been like my lover…perhaps my best friend….for a long time. NIN has been there with me through a lot. It has comforted me when I was sad; it has turned me on; it has introduced me to new people; it has given me inspiration. [...]

It was one of the craziest decisions I’ve ever made.I had decided to not go to the rescheduled NIN show at the Henry Fonda Theater. I had a ticket, but it was as someone’s plus one that would be waiting in line and going in early. I knew there was no way that [...]

With the amount of shows I travel to, it was bound to happen at some point.Canceled. The C word.The final Nine Inch Nails shows that people had traveled from all over the world for- two of the last three were canceled and then rescheduled for the following week. Trent was sick and had to [...]

The last day of Outside Lands was a cold one. It went from 85 degrees the day before to around 60. Brrrr……I thought I was early again, but walking up to the giant crowd at the Twin Peaks stage proved me wrong. The crowd had come early for buzz band Cage the [...]

I said I wouldn’t go.I absolutely hated last year’s festival. I didn’t care for any of the headliners this year, but they kept adding ‘my’ bands to the supporting roster…and then I decided to try my luck at getting a press pass, and I scored. A festival is much easier for me to [...]

The last time I saw Manson at The Warfield, it was epic affair.In the past 2 months, I’ve somehow managed to see Manson 4 times. Since this fourth show fell in between my final NIN shows, I had been referring to it as a Manson sandwich; to which everyone collectively replied “ewww!”. But, [...]

I rolled out of the apartment at 10:30p…that should be enough time to catch half of the middle act and headliner of a 3 band billing that starts at 9pm, right?WRONG. HRC fail, Annie’s Social Club- or as I like to call it, the Anti-Social Club- fail- they switched the order of the bands. [...]

Carl Restivo might think I’m stalking him. First, I saw him play in Satellite Party. Then, The Justice Tour. And then, I went to one or two or six NIN/JA(SSSC) shows. And then there’s Outside Lands this weekend….Carl was gracious enough to take time out of his busy schedule to let [...]

Last night, the unthinkable happened.When Trent Reznor told us that there would be special guests and surprises on this final mini-tour, I don’t think any of us guessed this. I’ve been hearing Bowie rumors, making rare song wishlists….but The Downward Spiral in it’s entirety??? It’s as if TR reads what we guess and [...]

I decided to approach this show like I was going to see any other band. I went to dinner, and went to the show shortly after the doors opened. It felt weird to not wait in line all day, but it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a while. [...]

1992: I’m twelve years old, and I’m sneaking MTV late at night. My parents did not like me watching MTV- not because it was ‘the devil’- they aren’t religious freaks- but because it was part of the liberal media machine. Maybe it was Headbanger’s Ball…I can’t remember, but the video for ‘Wish’ came [...]
