Nine Inch Nails in Mad Cool: Rabiosy, murky, colossal | Culture

The definitive test for Mad Cool’s sound team, sneaking twice on Thursday, arrived with the first ten minutes of the Nine Inch Nails concert. If you endured electricity, yes, it is already managed to get until Sunday, when the Festival La DJ Surcoreana Peggy Gou closes. It was a start at all tracts, with the uncontrolled decibels, where Ohio’s band miscalked down The Beginning of the End, Wish y March of the Pigs, Deranged songs that speak of dirty sex, alienation and God, pieces that came out of the throat of Trent reznor to dentelladas while his band, with Atticus Ross throwing synthetic bursts from his keyboard, produced noise and chaos.

Reznor is no longer the same self -destructive and tortured type of the nineties to which many predicted a gloomy existence. But the concerts offered with their group maintain the suffocating atmosphere of this world from the darkest corner. He demonstrated it last night, as the head of the second day of Madrid’s Mad Cool in a very intense show in which if you let yourself go you found that tempting intersection where the discomfort with pleasure coexist.

With his black regulatory attire, Nine Inch Nails made the many who consider that The Downward Spiralhis 1994 album is one of the most influential in the 1990s. The group dedicated a good part of the 90 minutes to this work that has exceeded the test of time and beyond: it may now sounds more contemporary than three decades ago because it speaks of a misleading world similar to today.

The recital was a ball of fire of dense, beastly, tachycardic sounds, a squeaky tangle in which as progress was no longer going back: the one who remained off the site never recovered his site, and he who managed to get on the adrenaline train had a great time. Reznor, nervously and with a good plant, was promoted to sing with the legs flexed and the hooded body, as wanting its permanently angry breath impact on the faces of the public.

Man of few words, he barely released a couple of “thank you” and a murmur that seemed like a “happy to be here.” Although he is now a father concerned with the education of his five children, when he takes the stage he transmits distrust and even danger. We talked about a musician who recorded his best album, the aforementioned The Downward Spiral, In the infamous house where Charles Manson’s gang murdered Sharon Tate. The same man who suffered an overdose of heroine that almost erased him from this world, an addiction from where he took David Bowie with his advice, his guardianship and experience.

The performance, which was developed between purple and red lights and epileptic flashes, ended with an invincible quartet: The Perfect Drug, The Hand That Feeds, Head Like a Hole and the chilling Hurt, that Reznor interpreted self -absorbed with the two hands linked in the foot of the microphone and the eyes closed. The full moon enjoyed on Thursday with Muse’s fireworks this time shuddered.

Benson Boone, in the air, in one of his acrobatics, yesterday in Mad Cool.

He surprised that this rabid, murky and colossal show only some 20,000 people attended, more or less half than the previous day with Muse. The organization reported that they spent during the day through the Iberdrola Music enclosure, southern Madrid, 49,000 people (many foreigners, the majority British), the same as Thursday. It must be deduced, then, that the public wasted yesterday among several recitals, unlike in the case of Muse, which achieved the attention of much more public.

Alanis Morissette also triumphed last night, who sang a lot, well and almost always with the swollen neck vein. He even had to move away the microphone of his mouth so as not to saturate his power. A pity that the singer did not allow her professional journalists to be photographed (so there are no images of her in this chronicle). The Canadian showed a state phenomenal. He did not decline or when a musician was wrong of his band; He stopped the song and, with an accomplice gesture, resumed where the instrumentalist was confused. Dressed in a simple way with which the clothes that were put in the morning (black leather pants and a purple shirt) could be perfectly, he had a smile drawn on his face during the performance. When I was not singing, a harmonica bleed with more ferocity than style. It was pleasant post grunge, year in which he edited his sensational Jagged Little Pill, which was the trunk of his recital for happiness of the many forties that populated the grass of the second stage. In fact, its presence was cut: a scarce hour.

Benson Boone addresses Mad Cool's public.

Benson Boone loves to make exhibitions. One of its star numbers is to run somersaults. Yes, they read well: a saltimbanqui musician performs acrobatics during his concert. In the first song, Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else, He had already executed two mortals. On the third topic, Drunk in My Mind, He had to show off his voice, that treasures her powerful. Acute small … a girl next to this chronicler sighed and said: “How handsome.” And it has also been granted the gift of beauty. It is a man spectacle this 23 -year -old boy who is triumphing mainly in his country, the United States, and in the United Kingdom, and who in Spain begins to penetrate, as he saw last night with thousands of people pending their occurrences.

His concert time was fun, much better on animated issues than in ballads where his hand goes with sugar. With his mustache to the Freddie Mercury, a lighthouse for him, he exercised as a boy dedicating themes to his mother and his father (who were in the enclosure and he pointed them out for the public to applaud), directed the fans with the effective “oeeees”, was Zalamero praising how molona it seemed to him Spain, he recommended that the public drink water to alleviate the heat to alleviate the heat ( He got, between some things and others, that his time passed at full speed. Don’t you know how your concert closed? Yes: with a cabriola to fall in the pit and greet the sea from hands while interpreting his great success, Beautiful Things. Hopefully all commercial pop was like the one proposed by Boone.

Very in favor of rock and roll garagero of Jet. The Australians represent the most elementary side of rock at festivals in which it is increasingly complicated to find bands that have Chuck Berry at an altar and the Sonics. That said, comment that it is not a group to occupy one of the stellar hours. First thing in the afternoon and at a guitar festival like Azkena, well. But in a musical concentration with transverse vocation such as Mad Cool, its presence is in anecdotal. It happened like last year with Keane, who also acted during the great hours when their mushy pop is already quite surpassed. But that Jet was up Are You Gonna Be My Girl. And, in addition, they touched a version of what the singer announced as “the anthem of Australia”, It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll)of AC/DC, which by the way play today in Madrid. All very cool, but …

Noah Kahan’s attention also caught attention as a sign. This yes, during stellar schedule, the 23rd Kahan, a 28 -year -old American, has been in a very powerful popularity level and some other places for four or five years. Not in Spain. His concert summoned many people, but could be accessed to the doors of the stage by raffling public and without receiving elbows. Kahan makes a pop-folk halfway, and without wanting to be very precise, between Mumford and Sons and Ed Sheeran. Sing well and their themes have the doubtful quality of always being pleasant. With the ballads, which were abundant, many of the people away from the first rows tumped in synthetic grass.

The Australians Jet in Mad cool.

Those who wanted to espabilar undertook the path of stage 3 to meet the always urgent Kaiser Chiefs. Clearly the place was small and the sound, at least on the sides and on the back, was off, as if they were playing inside a pool full of water. Some shouts of “is not heard” were heard.

Today Saturday, last big day (Sunday is a brunch electronic) with Olivia Rodrigo, Justice, Arde Bogotá or 30 Seconds to Mars. At the moment, Mad Cool 2025 are Nine Inch mails.
