I'm not dissing "older" musicians. Thurston Moore is pushing 60 and the dude still shreds the way he did in 1986...Neil Young is 70 and going strong. Robert Smith is pushing 60 and Nick Cave is 60 and still going strong....The overall grand spectrum of my post was a band like NIN built their entire reputation on animalistic live shows. Chaos, total insanity, breaking equipment, total aggression. Primal rage in full effect. And a lot of those songs "Wish" "MOTP" "Gave Up" were birthed in that way. All I meant was having 2 dudes in their mid 60s playing those songs might look a bit odd onstage in 2017. They may be able to pull it off, but it would be a different vibe. Esp considering 2017 NIN seems to be much more aggressive live than 2013 NIN which was like punching a timeclock.
