Here’s Our Dream Setlist for Nine Inch Nails’ Peel It Back Tour
The Nine Inch Nails tour is about to start. Here's our dream setlist for Nine Inch Nails' Peel It Back Tour.
After all, the critically lauded The Downward Spiral marked its 30th anniversary last year, and the name of this tour comes from the lyrics off the album’s lead single, “March of the Pigs,” so it wouldn’t be a surprise if the setlist was TDS heavy. Perhaps one of the most beautifully heartbreaking NIN tracks, Reznor’s vocals carry an ache and regret that feel worse than death as he softly croons about his existence being wiped clean from a loved one’s memory, and the world itself, yet all the while knowing of everything he could’ve had, yet were “never meant for me.” Though turning a mirror on religion (and some might argue, those who agree with the current immigration policies) might not be considered fun concert fare, Reznor’s refrain could challenge that belief and get attendees to raise their voices: “Come on, sing along, everybody now!”
