No ‘Closer’ on Nine Inch Nails’s Wave Goodbye Tour

According to Trent Reznor, in a video interview conducted by nin.com member Papagolash, Nine Inch Nails will not play “Closer” during their Wave Goodbye set on the upcoming NINJA 2009 tour. They will, however, be mixing up the set each night, pulling out some surprises at each tour stop, including—hopefully—the stop they’ll be making on June 3 in Mansfield, where I fully expect the band to kick my ass so hard that I’m weeping by the end of the set.
Thoughts? Do you think it’s insane for a band to omit its biggest hit from the set list? Me, I don’t mind, as I’ve seen that song performed live at every show I’ve been to, but less-obsessed fans might be dismayed to hear this.

I think a Twitter request would work better than a telepathic request, in this case. :-)
Seriously, if we get enough Boston-area fans to demand that it be played, and it’s in the pile of songs they’ve worked up for this tour, I think it could happen. The dude is definitely listening. In these interviews, he talks about doing quieter stuff more often. At least I think he does.

Oh, I already requested on Twitter. :)

Yippy! :-)
BTW, I need to figure out how to get you the dough I owe you. You want it day of show? PayPal? Check? Let me know.

Shit! Wow, I’d seen his tweet about that, but hadn’t found the deets yet.

Whatever works for you on $$…

Yeah. That’s EXACTLY who I’m afraid of coming off like. There she is. Right there.
