Trent Reznor: "...time to make NIN disappear for a while.'

...and there's a good chance he's going to wrap things up alongside Jane's Addiction:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/mus...-reznor-sa.html

quote:
A small consolation to those not seeing Jane's Addiction at the Echo tonight: It sounds like you'll get another shot to see the original lineup.

But here's the catch: It will probably be on a much bigger stage, and it may be the last time you see Trent Reznor -- at least for a while. Reznor posted today on the official Nine Inch Nails website that he's plotting a major world tour, with Jane's Addiction as a co-headliner.

After the outing, which will commemorate the 20th anniversary of Nine Inch Nails' debut, "Pretty Hate Machine," Reznor writes it will be "time to make NIN disappear for a while." While Reznor doesn't offer too many details as to why the time is ripe for a hiatus, he notes that 2008's "Lights in the Sky" tour was the "culmination of what I could pull off in terms of an elaborate production. It was also quite difficult to pull off technically and physically night after night and left us all a bit dazed."

A proposed tour with Jane's, he writes, would be "much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted." He promises further details soon, and credits Jane's Addiction for giving Nine Inch Nails one of the act's first big breaks.

20 fucking years. fuck.

that guy can do whatever the hell he wants, he deserves it. one of the hardest working guys in the business.

Off in the distance, Manson is laughing himself into a coma...

What is it with TA's token neocons having nothing but praise for Trent?

I certainly wouldn't describe his music as 'liberal' or something like that, but his work is quite subversive, especially Year Zero.

this type of thing is par for the course when your main demographic starts to age.

I like NIN, they are one of the only bands that make this kind of music that does not come off as try to hard to me.


Posted by Aortik on Feb-17-2009 15:20:

Not to mention that fact that Trent himself is getting older. He used to live like a true rockstar - just like Manson - only Trent made it out with his sanity.

He's sort of lost his fire though, and that's only natural. Not to say that his recent music isn't great, but it is different from his older work because he is no longer a frustrated 20-something spitting bile on stage.


Posted by elFreak on Feb-17-2009 15:26:

and that type of schtick does not translate with age as well as a bowie for example.

you can bet your bottom dollar, that he will "bowie up" (lose the gimmicks and base his career on being a quintessential professional aka produce lots behind the scenes) and continue his career.


Posted by Aortik on Feb-17-2009 15:34:

Completely agreed. And yeah, Bowie didn't age at all, he matured like a fine wine. Outside is by far my favourite album of his, but even his early work is excellent..

//Perhaps he will be like Eno to Bowie and just act as a band-aid or a muse to other artists. Trent's work is so refined because he lives music. His shows almost always open with an artist he takes a personal interest in, and he's done the muse thing before. I know I am mentioning Manson a lot in this thread, but he is sort of an important figure at this point because he's "stolen" Jeordie White for his latest album. That's sort of huge. Trent and Manson made Antichrist Superstar probably the most incendiary album of the 1990s before their falling out. To see them work together again would be a pipedream at this point, but a dream nevertheless. To see Trent work with a lot of other artists - especially some of his openers such as Ladytron - would be immense.

Bowie made more money not putting his name on tracks , than he did putting his name on tracks. Considering that his own music was enough to make him disgustingly rich, i think that speaks volumes on just how talented Bowie is. He is definitely one of my idols.


Posted by Aortik on Feb-17-2009 15:48:

Yeah, Bowie is basically the most perfect music idol there ever was.

Except for that time you got to see his dong. That sucked.


Posted by elFreak on Feb-17-2009 15:54:

i would suck it.


Posted by Aortik on Feb-17-2009 16:17:

Well I'm sorry, but you're going to have to take a number.


Posted by The17sss on Feb-17-2009 17:13:

this thread just went way off the tracks

you don't really have to make a bet as that is what he said he has been doing and is going to continue to do in the future

Read this earlier this morning.. as much as it sucks, I'm sure he is gonna stay involved with music in some way. He is probably going to start producing more albums similar to what he did with Saul Williams.

Trent is a sneaky bastard, though. I wouldn't be at all surprised if one day down the road he randomly announces a new album or some other project.


Posted by r5a on Feb-17-2009 18:19:

dont really give two fucks about NIN or him either way, don't know him and never will so.

but he is still a ballerado. 1st artist to embrace the p2p network, for that he gets my praise. really the only thing that i know he's done and that itself is pretty fucking outstanding. good luck to him.

nbd, js.

What the fuck did you just attempt to communicate to us?

+1, Ghosts I-V came out like 48 hours after he announced he was working on his next album after Year Zero.

Yeah, me too

You could definitely see this coming though...A huge indicator was when Alessandro left and Trent didn't even try to look for a replacement. Alessandro was the most important/involved band member since Chris Vrenna...even more Danny Lohner imo

I guess this means there wont be a Year Zero 2 then.

i'll be the first to say this but...good

hopefully he does his own thing, i think peoples general idea of how nin 'should' sound like limited him a bit

Only in the US. If you listen to a lot of NIN's imports, they are DRASTICALLY different than the US stuff. The original track that became "Closer" is very different than what you are used to hearing.


Posted by Aortik on Feb-18-2009 15:09:

Imports? What the balls are you talking about? And do you mean the Closer demo? Because yeah, a lot of his demos are far different from the album version.
