It’s hard to believe that NIN got its start over 30 years ago. In 1988, NIN was asked to open for [[Skinny Puppy]] on the east coast leg of the [[VIVIsectVI Tour|“Vivisect VI” tour]]. We did that tour driving up and down the coast crammed into Trent’s hatchback. It was the most exciting thing ever. I was 21 years old and had no idea what was to come.
One of my fondest memories was when we were living in the [[Le Pig|Sharon Tate house ]] while making ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]''. We always worked hard, even though it never really felt like work. We knew something special was happening…You could just feel it. But I don’t think anyone could have predicted ''The Downward Spiral''’s success and its longevity. We had the greatest live show on Earth, capped by our now legendary, mud-soaked [[1994/08/13_Saugerties,_NY|Woodstock show]] in 1994 that we ultimately won a Grammy for.
My years with Trent and NIN are some of the best of my life, and I continue to treasure those memories. And now, those memories can live on in the Rock and Roll HOF. Thank you to every single fan…past, present, and future that continue to discover NIN. I personally appreciate all the fan support not only during my time in NIN, but for my career afterward as well. I am eternally grateful for everything we accomplished with NIN.</p>
==Rock Hall Exhibit==
An exhibit representing the band's career-shifting performance at Woodstock '94 was installed opened at the Rock Hall in Clevelandon August 14, 2020. The exhibit was overseen by NIN art director [[John Crawford]].

Throughout the years I’ve benefited from a strong collection of people around me that have offered everything from encouragement to guidance to a kick in the ass when needed. These include Jimmy Iovine, John Silva, Marc Geiger, Ross Rosen, [[Alan Moulder]], Rick Rubin, Zia Modabber, Bill Harper, David Fincher, Jerome Crooks, Steve Barnett, Jim Guerinot, and [[John Malm]]. You’re all appreciated and this is for you, too.
A special thank you to my wife [[Mariqueen MaandigReznor|Mariqueen]] and my kids, who keep me humble and make everything worthwhile. And for the Nine Inch Nails fans out there, you guys are the best. We’ve wound up in some weird places together, and you’re an intense bunch that can drive me out of my mind — but you’re the best.
This journey’s far from over, if I have any say in it, so let’s stop fucking around, patting ourselves on the back, and get to it. Hope to see you all in the flesh soon. Thank you.[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/trent-reznor-nine-inch-nails-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-speech-1086568/]</blockquote>
The Q&A session was hosted by Lizzy Goodman, and included all band members who were inducted in 2020, as well as Richard Patrick and Charlie Clouser.
The NIN performance the following night also featured Vrenna, Lohner, Patrick and Clouser for the final six songs. This reunion of past band members (and accompanying concert) was originally planned for NIN's Rock Hall induction ceremony in 2020 (and again in 2021), which was altered by the COVID pandemic.[https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2022/10/richard-patrick-talks-nine-inch-nails-reunion-whats-next-for-filter.html]
