Trent Reznor's Speech in Philly

NIN live at the Wachovia Center in Philly 08.29.08Trent takes a break to speak to the crowd. Beginning of Reptile.Someone asked me for a transcription of the speech. This probably isn't perfect, but here it is...Back in Pennsylvania! My home state. I spent 18 years trying to get the fuck outta here! I was from the cool side, the western side. I'm kidding, it sucked to be there.Thank you for coming out tonight, it's been fun. We appreciate your support. I'd like to take one second to introduce my band. Which side should I start on tonight? This side, or that side? Justin Medal-Johnson, bass. Hiding behind the keyboard, Alessandro Hairdresser? Drums, Josh Freese. And Robin Fink. I's like to thank out opening act, Does It Offend You, Yeah?. Please, if you like them, go out and buy their album. You can steal everything I put out. I don't care anymore.I'm starting a very, a very bad trend of talking at shows, which I'll probably stop after today. Someone asked me...you know, we've been doing this for a while...Someone asked me, you know, when you look out at the audience, does it look the same as it did years ago? And there's one difference that I've noticed. And that is uh...like I went and I saw Rage Against The Machine the other day at uh...where was that?...at Lollapalooza and it was weird, we were on stage watching out and there was a million people and it looked great and it kicked ass, but I noticed it was all dudes, all dudes, just shirtless sweaty guys. And when we started out it was all guys, they were like vampire dudes, and it was all guys. Now a lot of, a lot of hot chicks come out. I don't know if that's good or bad. They're blowing the mystique. Let's go all dark in here, shall we? Let's kill the lights.Someone else got this from the front of the stage... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
