* Singer [[Tori Amos]] has alluded to Nine Inch Nails in her lyrics: "Precious Things" mentions "demigods with their nine-inch nails" and "Caught a Lite Sneeze" finds her "{making her} own [[Pretty Hate Machine]]." [[Trent Reznor]] sang back-up vocals on Amos' "Past the Mission." Amos sometimes included the opening line of "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" in live improvisations, sometimes with silly alternative lyrics such as "I hurt myself today/to find a jellybean." The term "[[Starfuckers, Inc. (song)|Starfucker]]" was used in Amos' 1996 song "Professional Widow" on the album ''Boys for Pele.'' Many believe that Amos and Reznor were more than friends, and Reznor has confessed that [[Courtney Love]] meddled in their friendship, causing them to drift apart. Some believe Amos's song, "She's Your Cocaine" is about the two of them. In 2014, Amos performed a live cover of ""[[Something I Can Never Have]]".
* Eminem's "My Name Is" from his 1999 album ''The Slim Shady LP'' includes the line "Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids?" in the first verse, commonly seen as a nod to the band.
* Progressive metal band Dream Theater has performed a live medley called "Caught in Alice's New Nine-Inch Millennium Tool Garden." It used the lyrics of their earlier release "Caught in a Web," but with new music which was a combination of the styles of Alice in Chains, Nine Inch Nails, [[Tool]], and Soundgarden, all of which were prominent rock bands during the 90s. The band later wrote new lyrics to the song and released it as "New Millennium" on the album ''Falling into Infinity.''
