NIN was a band that left me strolling off stage each single evening pondering, “That was unimaginable. We completely crushed it.” And it wasn’t only a feeling, it was a certainty. That stage of depth, pleasure, and satisfaction after every present is one thing I’ve not often skilled anyplace
Now, being again on tour with Trent and the crew—serving to them do what they do finest evening after evening—is one thing I’m extremely enthusiastic about. To be a part of that power once more feels superb.
