Tom Morello: Nine Inch Nails "kicked everybody's ass" on first Lollapalooza tour
Briefly

The first Lollapalooza tour in 1991 featured Nine Inch Nails, often hailed for their electrifying performances despite being midway in the lineup. Headlined by Jane's Addiction, the festival showcased a variety of acts, but it was NIN, promoting their debut album 'Pretty Hate Machine', that left a lasting impression on attendees and fellow musicians alike. Prominent figures like Tom Morello and Dave Navarro praised NIN for their ability to convert skeptics into fans through their unforgettable live performance.
That first Lollapalooza? Let's not mince words: Nine Inch Nails kicked everybody's ass. I never heard of that band. Would unreservedly never buy a cassette that had keyboards on it other than Pink Floyd.
Watching [Nine Inch Nails] on Lollapalooza was one of the most exciting things I'd ever seen, probably up until this day. Here you've got this brand-new band, this brand-new sound.
