background: On May 14, 1994, Nine Inch Nails performed at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom as part of the early leg of their Self-Destruct Tour, delivering a raw, intense show that captured the aggressive spirit of their then-new album The Downward Spiral. Opening for them was Marilyn Manson, still relatively unknown to many in the audience, whose provocative performance drew a mixed reception—some fans were intrigued, others openly hostile. Fem-2-Fem also appeared as a supporting act, though crowd energy was clearly focused on NIN. The venue pulsed with industrial distortion and chaos, particularly during "Closer," which brought the crowd into a frenzy. In one infamous moment, frontman Trent Reznor bit guitarist Robin Finck's underarm onstage, epitomizing the band’s volatile, theatrical presence. The show not only highlighted Nine Inch Nails’ evolution into a dominant live force but also marked a pivotal point in Manson’s rise, with this tour setting the stage for his controversial emergence into mainstream culture.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete in 160 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
