I mean, this is probably bullshit to get people to read into an article but, besides the Fragility tour being cancelled, there’s no way Trent would pull the plug because of these issues. Granted this wouldn’t probably be the case if dynamic pricing wasn’t eating people’s paychecks whole; but if this tour gets pulled, what the hell happens to everyone who has to get tickets through scalpers?

Downvote if needed but tell me this is just misplaced fear mongering than actual truth.

Hi guys, just a fan here with a quick question. I’m pretty sure this has been asked before, but I’m really curious, how did you all get into Nine Inch Nails?

For me, it started with the DOOM community. People kept mentioning how Mick Gordon was heavily inspired by Nine Inch Nails’s work on Quake. When I first heard the name “Nine Inch Nails,” I was immediately intrigued, it just sounded so cool and intense.

The first thing I listened to was the Quake soundtrack, and I was interested . It was dark, atmospheric, and unlike anything I’d heard before. That pretty much pulled me into NIN as a whole, and the rest is history.

Now I can’t stop listening to The Fragile, The Downward Spiral, Year Zero, Ghosts, and now even Tron: Ares.

At this point, I finally get why so many people love Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. There’s just something special about their music.

So, I've been listening to Nine Inch Nails for around 10 years now. I've seen them 3 times. Once at Red Rocks a couple years ago and twice during Peel it Back ( Ft Worth & Tulsa.) I've only discovered Deep this month. I've loved every song I've heard throughout the years. I have several NIN records but I mostly listen in the car via Spotify and it's not on there.

I know a lot of people in here have been listening much longer, what is everyone's favorite deep (deep deep deep) cut or lesser known song that you would recommend to a fan?

Seen in NIN stories. Anyone know if this means Josh will be on the American tour??

I recently discovered that NIN is playing my piece Like Meeting God by Unearth Noise in their pre-show ambient set on the Peel it Back tour. I'm absolutely blown away by this, and to be in such good company with Throbbing Gristle and others. For a struggling musician like me this is a really big deal. Funny thing is I saw NIN on this tour with my sons in Newark, NJ. The crowd control was so disorganized that we didn't get into the stadium until after the show began. My head would have exploded if I heard my music playing in an 18,000 seat venue. Anyway, I would really love to be able to contact Trent in some way, to thank him. I've tried reaching out to his management, agent, collaborators (Boys Noize and Alessandro Cortini), but so far have gotten no reply. I understand that responding to me is probably not their top priority, but to me this is life-changing. Any respectful suggestions would be very much appreciated.

What are NIN heaviest songs?
I wanted to discuss the heaviest with different meanings. The heaviest emotionally, the heaviest tempo/speed. The heaviest distortion on any given song would love a discussion.

I think we both needed this, a space to connect. I'd love to hear your opinions, and I'll say right now that I loved "The New Flesh," what a strangely beautiful song. :DD

Sorry if this has been asked / posted before.

But out of curiosity… I’ve noticed Trent’s been wearing pretty much same style of clothing for every show during this tour.

Does anyone know what brand it is? Or is it custom? I’m referring to the vest, thin long sleeve shirt and leather cargo pants.

I know Trent’s a fan of Rick Owen’s, wears Adidas, Hoka etc… but not sure if they are Rick Owens?

Anyone else notice that the songs With Teeth and Sunspots share a melody? The chorus of Sunspots “She turns it on, she makes it real”and the verse of With Teeth “She comes along, she gets inside”. Precisely the same melody and a pretty similar lyric too. This feels intentional to me and it’s not off-brand for Trent as NiN albums are full of repeated motifs and themes like this.

I was surprised I couldn’t find any other mention of this online especially considering how eager NIN fans are to call everything the Downward Spiral motif lol.

It took me so long to notice. Look, they're the same textures, with the same divisions and sizes. That's normal, AV is the direct sequel to NTAE in the trilogy, but anyway, it's interesting to think about what this means.

The cover of AV is a panel, and these textures from NTAE continue on the cover of AV, which leads me to believe that the cover of NTAE is a "cleaner" and less grimy version of the same panel. Well, it's just interpretation. What do you think?

Looking for some 2nd/3rd opinions here.

I want a NIN-themed vanity plate, but I’m also a huge Carolina Hurricanes fan, so I’ve narrowed it down to these two:

9IN CH
NIN CH

I’m leaning toward 9IN CH because it takes a second to figure out, which I kind of like. And, well…the phallic jokes pretty much write themselves.

My SO thinks 9IN CH is a little too crude and strongly prefers NIN CH, which is definitely cleaner and more immediately recognizable.

So, Reddit: 9IN CH or NIN CH? What say ye?

***EDIT***
Thanks to u/therealrexmanning for pointing out how the first one could be interpreted as alpha-male machismo bullshit. I honestly hadn't looked at it that way, and that's definitely not what I'm about.

Once you pointed it out, I couldn't unsee it—and suddenly the first option seemed pretty awful.

So, thank you Rex and Reddit. We have a decision.

It might be controversial, but my favorite NIN album of all time is WITH TEETH 2019 Definitive Edition. I’d love to hear what everyone else’s favorite is.

Which do you think is Trent's main instrument? Guitar, Piano, Synths, Vocals? I personally think synths/piano, but what do you guys think?

Does anyone know if the premiere gonna be livestream?

If I say I like MM to NIN fans it’s an issue or if I say I like NIN to MM fans it’s an issue. I guess I’m not old enough to understand the beef between the two (I’m 21) I am not saying I like one more than the other or supporting the artist, music wise I like both. Anyways, I know it probably goes pretty far back I’m just looking for a simple explanation.

Sorry if I sound ignorant. I’m a pretty casual Marilyn Manson listener nowadays but I’ve seen both live and have both on playlists currently.

I heard in Trent’s interview that the album did very well the first week because people were eager to hear what would come after The Downward Spiral but that the sales dropped dramatically afterward.

Trent said that he knew it would happen but people would love the album later, which I think this has been true (I think it is the favorite album for a lot of us).

But why?

I listened to all the albums in released order and I did not have a problem with the album but I really got into NIN only a year ago.

Was it too « avant-garde » for people at that time?
Were people disappointed because they expected something more similar to TDS?

If you were lucky enough to discover The Fragile when it first got released, what were you opinions about it at that time?

This little surprise on IG. Unless it is fake account….
