→Work with NIN
On November 15, 2007, he reported on his blog about being invited to perform on what would become ''Ghosts I-IV:''
<blockquote>"<p>and the whole day just got better...<br>
when I received a call from Trent Reznor<br>
asking me to work with him on new music<br>
in L.A. for the first week of december.
trent has always championed my playing.<br>
he once said in Guitar Player Magazine<br>
I've always joked that it was a typo<br>
and that he really said the most awful musician.
but it is seriously a mutual admiration.<br>
in my opinion, no one makes better sounding records than trent.<br>
I love what he does and I'm happy he feels the same.
He was originally confirmed as a touring member of Nine Inch Nails for the [[NIN 2013-2014]] tour, but exited the lineup before the tour started.[http://pitchfork.com/news/51069-adrian-belew-quits-nine-inch-nails-it-didnt-work/] Belew elaborated in an interview:
<blockquote>"<p>Trent [Reznor] and I were hoping to re-invent the band. As it turned out, when we got in rehearsals and everything started in earnest, it just didn’t go that way. In the end we were just learning each song exactly as it was on the record; within a couple of weeks it seemed like there wasn’t going to be any reinvention of the band, so why was I there?<br>
They already had a great guitarist in [[Robin Finck]], who’s been with Trent since 1993; he knows the material inside out, way better than I’d ever know it if you wanted exactly what was on the record. I didn’t feel being essentially a sideman was a role that I wanted to take at this point, and Trent agreed.
