Blech to NIN?! Total blasphemy! However, I did see TMBG at an in-store at Tower Records in Paramus which was very cool.
yeah, i know… NIN was just never my thing. the best TMBG show i’ve ever seen was at the bowery. that was kickass. but probably not as cool as in-store!
Well, I do admit that Piggy is probably my least favorite on The Downward Spiral. I tend to skip over it. Heresy, Closer, March Of The Pigs, Hurt…now those are fantastic, but Cash did Hurt even better. Trent even admits that.
cash’s “hurt” is SO haunted/haunting — one of the best remakes ever!
