On Tuesday, Sept. 18, unleashed the aggression of his band Nine Inch Nails on a packed Blaisdell Auditorium for the last show of the band’s current incarnation. Reznor, who is the only official member of Nine Inch Nails, started this summer’s whirlwind world tour in August, and ended it in Honolulu. His lineup consisted of drum- mer (The Vandals, Devo, Viva Death, A Perfect Circle), guitarist (), bassist Jeordie White (A Perfect Circle, ) and keyboardist Alessandro Cortini (Modwheelmood). Featuring songs ranging from the beginning of his career to his new album, “Year Zero,” Reznor gave fans a per- formance they will never forget.
