I'd like to dedicate this song to the interim.

To any NiN fans around:
 

Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.

I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.

The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.

Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.

Reznor AND Belew AND Avery?

Reznor AND Belew AND Avery?

It will be interesting to see what they come up with, but I don't see the point of calling it Nine Inch Nails if they're re-inventing it from scratch. Why not call it something else?

To quote the album credits from the Pretty Hate Machine: Nine Inch Nails is Trent Reznor ;)

Yeah, he can do whatever he wants with the name, but I just thought it would be cooler if they just did it under a new name. A clean slate, if you will. 

Well he can save a lot of money on marketing this way.

 

I don't see it as an issue though, Nine Inch Nails was always changing. After all they went from this

to this

in what, one and a half decade?

I don't see it as an issue though, Nine Inch Nails was always changing.

The change is not the only reason, it's that NIN was suppose to end in 2009. Whenever a band makes a comeback after having done a farewell tour, I can't help but have the words of Johnny Rotten playing in my head: "ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"

I never for a minute believed that he's done with Nine Inch Nails, so I get just what I expected.
