<hr />
<div>[[Image:10_09_05-cleveland.jpg|thumbnail|Limited-edition lithograph from this concert]]This concert took place on October 9th, 2005 at the Quicken Loans Arena (formerly Gund Arena) in Cleveland, Ohio. [[Autolux]] and [[Queens Of The Stone Age]] were the opening acts.<br />
<br />
===Notes===<br />
*The naming rights for the venue changed shortly before the concert date but after the tour was announced and tickets sold. Therefore, the concert tickets and lithographs for this show bear the original name, Gund Arena.<br />
*"[[Beside You In Time (song)|Beside You In Time]]" was omitted from the setlist due to technical difficulties with the projection system. [[Trent Reznor]] had some choice words for the A/V crew.<br />
*Reznor updated the "TR" section of [[nin.com]] from backstage before the show:<br />
Backstage in Cleveland. Family day for me. Lots of memories for me here - some good, some not so good.<br />
Anyway, I'm looking forward to the show tonight - finally got some sleep. Alex is doing great and fitting in well.<br />

<div>This was the first date of the 1991 [[Lollapalooza Tour]]. Plagued with electrical problems, the show was cut shortly during the third song, "Sin".<br />
<br />
== Interview ==<br />
Reznor related the story in a 1995 ''Keyboard'' magazine interview:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>"We couldn't play because one of the power boxes had melted, and every time the low end of the PA would rumble, it would jiggle the cord and all power onstage would just shut off and turn back on. If you have a sampler, that means you're down for a minute. And if you have a tape deck, ahem, that means it stops. ... So this started happening, and: 'Hello, does anybody know what's going on?' A voice from backstage: 'No, but I think it's working now.' Turn to the crowd: 'OK, hey, we suck, so here's the next song.' And 10 seconds into it, every time he hit the kick drum, there it went. Turn back around: 'This is the biggest show we've ever played, does anyone know what the f--- is wrong?' Voice from backstage: 'We think we have it!' Turn to the crowd: 'OK, one more time,' and ... " </blockquote><br />

<div>[[Image:GaryTrentGemma.jpg|thumb|Gary Numan with his wife Gemma and Trent Reznor during the O2 show in London, 2009. ]]<br />
<br />
'''Gary Numan''' (born '''Gary Anthony James Webb''' on 8 March 1958) is an English singer, composer, and musician. He is considered to be one of the pioneers of commercial electronic music and has been described as the "King of synthpop". Numan is widely known for his chart-topping 1979 hits "Are 'Friends' Electric?" (with Tubeway Army) and "Cars". Numan's more recent output, however, from 1994's ''Sacrifice'' to 2006's ''Jagged'', has been much darker and industrial in nature, incorporating haunting soundscapes with a lyrical tendency towards Atheism and a general anger towards organized religion.<br />
<br />
[[Nine Inch Nails]] covered Numan's song "[[Metal]]" on the remix album ''[[Things Falling Apart]]'' (2000). So far, Gary Numan has been a surprise guest during the last leg of the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]], making appearances at the [[2009/07/15 London, England|O2 Arena]], the [[2009/09/02 Los Angeles, CA|Hollywood Palladium]], the [[2009/09/06 Los Angeles, CA|Echoplex]], the [[2009/09/08 Los Angeles, CA|Henry Fonda Theater]] and the [[2009/09/10 Los Angeles, CA|Wiltern Theater]], performing guest vocals on "Down In The Park" from Tubeway Army's ''Replicas'' (1979), "Metal," "Cars," both from ''The Pleasure Principle'' (1979), and "I Die: You Die," from ''Telekon'' (1980).<br />
<br />
On October 2, 2009, Trent Reznor posted two high-definition videos of Gary Numan playing "Metal" and "Cars" with the band at the [[2009/07/15 London, England|O2 Arena]] on [[nin.com]] via the website vimeo.com. "Metal" can be found [http://vimeo.com/channels/ninlive09#6859071 here] and "Cars" [http://vimeo.com/channels/ninlive09#6859938 here].<br />
<br />
In an [http://thequietus.com/articles/02803-gary-numan-and-nine-inch-nail-s-trent-reznor-to-collaborate an interview with The Quietus] shortly after the final dates, Numan stated that he and Reznor plan to make music together.<br />

<br />
'''Gary Numan''' (born '''Gary Anthony James Webb''' on 8 March 1958) is an English singer, composer, and musician. He is considered to be one of the pioneers of commercial electronic music and has been described as the "King of synthpop". Numan is widely known for his chart-topping 1979 hits "Are 'Friends' Electric?" (with Tubeway Army) and "Cars". Numan's more recent output, however, from 1994's ''Sacrifice'' to 2006's ''Jagged'', has been much darker and industrial in nature, incorporating haunting soundscapes with a lyrical tendency towards Atheism and a general anger towards organized religion.<br />
<br />
[[Nine Inch Nails]] covered Numan's song "[[Metal]]" on the remix album ''[[Things Falling Apart]]'' (2000). So far, Gary Numan has been a surprise guest during the last leg of the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]], making appearances at the [[2009/07/15 London, England|O2 Arena]], the [[2009/09/02 Los Angeles, CA|Hollywood Palladium]], the [[2009/09/06 Los Angeles, CA|Echoplex]], the [[2009/09/08 Los Angeles, CA|Henry Fonda Theater]] and the [[2009/09/10 Los Angeles, CA|Wiltern Theater]], performing guest vocals on "Down In The Park" from Tubeway Army's ''Replicas'' (1979), "Metal," "Cars," both from ''The Pleasure Principle'' (1979), and "I Die: You Die," from ''Telekon'' (1980).<br />
<br />
Numan joined Nine Inch Nails onstage in [[2009/07/15 London, England London on 2009/07/15]] during the band's final European tour and returned for [[2009/09/02 Los Angeles, CA all]] [[2009/09/06 Los Angeles, CA four]] [[2009/09/06 Los Angeles, CA final] [[2009/09/10 Los Angeles, CA shows]] in Los Angeles. Shortly aftwards, in an [http://thequietus.com/articles/02803-gary-numan-and-nine-inch-nail-s-trent-reznor-to-collaborate an interview with The Quietus], Numan said that he and Reznor plan to make music together.<br />
<br />
On October 2, 2009, Trent Reznor posted two high-definition videos of Gary Numan playing "Metal" and "Cars" with the band at the [[2009/07/15 London, England|O2 Arena]] on [[nin.com]] via the website vimeo.com.

}}'''"Metal"''' is the eighth track on ''[[Things Falling Apart]],'' a cover of [[Gary Numan]] from his 1979 album ''The Pleasure Principle''.<br />
<br />
The end of the song features a drawn-out instrumental referencing several other Numan songs: the higher-pitched synth line is taken from "M.E." (also from ''The Pleasure Principle''), while the piano line references "Remember I Was Vapour" (from 1980's ''Telekon'').<br />

"Metal" was performed live for the first time on the opening date of the [[Wave Goodbye Tour|NIN|JA 2009]] tour and was performed frequently through the final Wave Goodbye dates.<br />
<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
We're in the building where they make us grow<br />
And I'm frightened by the liquid engineer<br />
Like you<br />
<br />
My Mallory heart is sure to fail<br />
I could crawl around the floor just like I'm real<br />
Like you<br />
<br />
The sound of metal I want to be you<br />
I should learn to be a man<br />
Like you<br />
<br />
Plug me in and turn me on<br />
Oh everything is moving<br />
<br />
I need my treatment it's tomorrow they send me<br />
Singing "I am an American"<br />
Do you?<br />
<br />
Picture this if I should make the change<br />
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall<br />
Did you?<br />
<br />
And who are you and how can I try?<br />
Here inside I like the metal<br />
Don't you?<br />
<br />
All I know is no one dies<br />
I'm still confusing love with need<br />

<br />
while trying to post the pictures for the buttons clipped from exibit 24 I realized that the wreckage/shards listed on many are not what we found to be true. perhaps this is an attempt by BOM to obfuscate the truth? I left the info as we found it and linked the pictures of the buttons we found connected to the wreckage or shard.<br />
<br />
The outstanding buttons pictured witch still need to be linked to a shard/wreckage are:<br />

'''Nine Inch Nails''' is the studio name for [[Trent Reznor]], as well as the name of the band hired by him to perform songs while on tour. It is an industrial rock band, and the most recognized one since the genre was introduced. <br />
<br />
Nine Inch Nails (commonly abbreviated as NIN ) was formed in Cleveland, Ohio, circa 1988, and have so far released seven full-length studio albums, seventeen EPs, a number of remix albums, and some live compilations. Reznor is the only official member and has always been solely responsible for the musical direction of the band. His lyrics are largely concerned with the exploration of the self, but with his most recent albums, ''[[Year Zero]]'' and ''[[The Slip]]'', the lyrical focus has shifted somewhat to extrospection. After recording a new album, the assembly of a new band usually follows, along with extensive touring; the live component of Nine Inch Nails is largely considered a separate entity from NIN in the recording studio. NIN's live shows often involve visually spectacular elements such as screens and lighting rigs, which were used on the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle|Self Destruct]], [[Fragility]], With Teeth Arena Tours ([[With Teeth Fall Arena Tour|Fall]] & [[With Teeth Spring Arena Tour|Spring]]) and [[Performance 2007]] tours, and often culminate with the destruction of musical instruments. <br />

}}'''Michael Trent Reznor''' (born May 17, 1965, in Mercer, Pennsylvania) is the founder and mastermind behind [[Nine Inch Nails]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Growing Up===<br />
Reznor was born and raised in the western Pennsylvania town of Mercer in a Lutheran household (although Reznor now states that he believes in God, but has no actual religion). Because he has the same first name as his father, he was called by his middle name to avoid confusion. In late 1970, soon after the birth of his little sister, Reznor's father left and his parents divorced. He and his infant sister were sent to live with their maternal grandparents, primarily because it would have been too difficult for their mother to raise them by herself. Reznor's grandmother decided that the 5-year-old should take classical piano lessons. Over the years he became immersed in music and has been compared to Harry Connick, Jr. by his piano teacher.<br />
<br />
By the time Reznor was in high school he discovered horror movies and rock music. KISS and [[David Bowie]] were his heroes. His grandmother considered pulling him out of school so that he could focus on his piano studies full-time, with the hope that he would become a classical pianist. Reznor did not want this and instead became active in Mercer High School's Marching Band, Concert Band, and in theater. He played tenor saxophone and tuba in the school bands, even winning Top Woodwind at one point. He also played Judas in the school's production of ''Jesus Christ Superstar'' and landed the title role in ''The Music Man.''<br />
<br />
===The Early Years===<br />
{{see also|:Category:Early bands}}<br />
Reznor graduated from high school in 1983 and went on to study production at Allegheny College. It was around this time that he joined his first "real" band, [[Option 30]]. They became popular in the college scene in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio but Reznor clearly wanted to get out and see more. After a year in college, Reznor dropped out of school and left Option 30, moving to Cleveland. Once there, he worked a few odd jobs, selling music instruments and also working as a studio technician at Right Track Studio. It was in Cleveland that he met roommate and future bandmate [[Chris Vrenna]]. The day jobs helped Reznor pay the bills but, like in Pennsylvania, he became active in Cleveland's music scene.<br />
<br />
Reznor's first band in Cleveland was a cover band called [[The Urge]]. This band drew crowds and Reznor got some recognition. When he left the band months later they lost much of their audience. Reznor briefly re-joined before parting ways again shortly thereafter. In 1986 he joined the [[Exotic Birds]] as a keyboardist and back-up vocalist with [[Andy Kubiszewski]] (who would later join [[Stabbing Westward]]) and, at one point, Vrenna. The Exotic Birds received some national attention after playing a few gigs with the Culture Club, but Reznor's tenure with them would not last. This was followed by keyboardist positions in [[The Innocent]], [[Lucky Pierre]], and [[Slam Bamboo]]. But all the while, Reznor wanted to be able to do his own music and be his own musician.<br />
<br />
In 1988, Reznor was finally able to write his first "real" song. It was entitled "[[Down in It (song)|Down In It]]" and was recorded as part of a demo during Reznor's spare time at the studio. After trying to come up with a name for his solo project, he settled on the name Nine Inch Nails (NIN for short) because "it sounded menacing, it was catchy, it stood the two-week test, and it could be easily abbreviated." He later befriended [[John A. Malm, Jr.]], who would become his manager for 15 years. The demo (known as ''[[Purest Feeling (halo)|Purest Feeling]]'') was shopped around to various record labels. Ultimately TVT Records, known for its TV music compilations, signed Reznor and offered to help him release his music.<br />
<br />
===NIN Begins===<br />
Reznor reworked many of the demos he recorded and even added some new material to his debut album, entitled ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' After its recording he assembled a small live band, inviting Vrenna to join him as one of his bandmates. This band played some small shows in Cleveland and was eventually invited on the road by [[Skinny Puppy]]. The band would eventually be invited to join the first [[Lollapalooza Tour|Lollapalooza]] tour, where they became one of the most popular bands on the tour.<br />
<br />
By the time 1991 rolled around, Reznor was in a miserable state. The label was pressuring him to record more material but was trying to tell him which producers to use and how the material should sound. Reznor wanted out of his contract and secretly recorded an EP in various locations around the world. The EP, titled ''[[Broken]],'' was released in 1992 and explained the situation to its buyers. The EP was released by [[Nothing Records]], which Reznor and Malm established to help him get out of his contract. Eventually TVT settled with Reznor, allowing him the creative freedom he wanted, but they would distribute future releases.<br />
<br />
It was during this time that Reznor was in the process of recording the second NIN album, ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' It was recorded in a Beverly Hills mansion-turned-studio dubbed "[[Le Pig]]" that would later be revealed to be the house where actress Sharon Tate and others were murdered by followers of cult leader Charles Manson. Reznor had also befriended a Florida-based shock-rock band, [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]], who would sign to Nothing Records.<br />
<br />
===Spiraling Down===<br />
''The Downward Spiral'' was released in March of 1994 and had a significantly different sound. Reznor was much more experimental, creating soundscapes and improvising in the studio rather than having something written beforehand. It was touted as a concept album, describing someone throwing away everything in his life in hopes of finding some sense of peace. The album was a personal and commercial success, but with the increasing exposure, Reznor's personal problems began to multiply. He found himself turning to drugs and alcohol often as an escape from the pressure put on him by the media, the label, and even himself. The extensive touring behind the album didn't help his problems, either.<br />
<br />
It would be the mud-soaked [[1994/08/13 Saugerties, NY|Woodstock '94]] performance that would thrust Reznor into the national consciousness. Broadcast on Pay-Per-View, the visceral performace would make Reznor a superstar among the many bands and musicians who were active at the time. However, the sudden national fame and recognition only accelerated Reznor's increasing problems.<br />
<br />
By the end of the touring cycle (known as the [[Self-Destruct]] tour), Reznor was miserable. He had sunk into addiction, and pressure from the label to begin work on a follow-up to ''The Downward Spiral'' took its toll. He stepped back for a little while and took time to sort things out.<br />
<br />
===Fragile===<br />
The time between the end of the Self-Destruct tour and the release of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' was one of reflection and realization for Reznor. He checked into a Florida rehabilitation center to deal with the drug and alcohol problems that plagued him throughout the last tour. Shortly after completing the program, he received word that his maternal grandmother had died. Reznor was completely devastated by this news and went into counselling to help him deal with his loss. Through this event he managed to write a song that conveyed his emotions and thoughts ("[[I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally]]"). He was back in the studio working on the follow-up to ''The Downward Spiral,'' which would turn out to be an ambitious, 2-disc epic of soundscapes.<br />
<br />
''The Fragile'' was released in September 1999 and debuted at the top of the ''Billboard'' album charts. It soon fell off the charts due to a number of factors. Among them were a lack of marketing from the record label and the sheer length of the album. Reznor decided to celebrate the album's chart debut with a drink, which led to a relapse into drugs and alcohol.<br />
<br />
Touring began shortly after the album's release. The [[Fragility]] tour would last a total of 8 months and travel the world. During the US tour, Reznor rekindled his friendship with [[Brian Warner]], frontman for the band Marilyn Manson, which had soured in 1997 following the release of the ''[[Lost Highway Soundtrack]].'' Initially Manson was offered the producer position but Reznor ultimately got it. The friendship was revived in part because of changes in popular music.<br />
<br />
As the tour progressed, Reznor's health declined as his addictions got worse. It culminated with a tour stop in London, when Reznor overdosed on heroin, prompting a long-awaited concert to be cancelled. Citing Reznor's privacy and not wanting to bring about a media firestorm, the band's management explained that another member of the band, new drummer [[Jerome Dillon]], was sick with a stomach flu. After the cancellation, Reznor apologized and explained the situation. He understood that people were angry about it and he stressed that concerts are never cancelled without a valid reason.<br />
<br />
===Rehab and Recovery===<br />
Overdosing on heroin was a wake-up call to Reznor, who now could not deny his problems. Worse news came in 2001, almost a year after the Fragility tour ended. While working on a live CD and DVD chronicling the US leg of the tour, a studio technician Reznor befriended was shot and killed in a gang-related crime. Seeing that his addictions had contributed to gang activity, Reznor was determined to get his problems under control.<br />
<br />
On July 11, 2001, Reznor checked into a New Orleans rehabilitation center and endured a cold-turkey withdrawal experience that makes him shudder to this day. Upon leaving the facility, Reznor was more determined than ever to stay clean and sober. He finished the live set, titled ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]],'' and began to focus on other projects. Among his projects were [[Tapeworm]], a collaboration with [[Tool]]/[[A Perfect Circle]] singer [[Maynard James Keenan]], and producing former Rage Against The Machine frontman [[Zack de la Rocha]]'s solo album.<br />
<br />
In summer of 2002, [[Rick Rubin]] called Reznor in regard to country music legend [[Johnny Cash]] recording a cover of the song "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]." Reznor was honored and okayed the recording since Rubin has done great work with Cash, and it wasn't very likely that "Hurt" would make the cut. In November 2002 Reznor received a CD containing Cash's cover and wasn't sure what to think of it. About four months later he received a DVD containing a music video for the song. Reznor was flattered, honored, and moved to tears by the results.<br />
<br />
In 2003, Malm presented Reznor with some startling news about his assets. It was revealed that he didn't have as much money as he thought he did, with his net worth estimated to be somewhere between US$400,000 and $3,000,000. Malm also presented Reznor with a bill asking for US$3,000,000 in payment. Shocked by this, Reznor looked back at the contracts he had signed with Malm and found some errors. Malm sued to collect on the money he claimed he was owed. Reznor countered, claiming that Malm had been holding back earnings. Both suits were combined into one lawsuit by a federal judge in 2004, naming Reznor as the plaintiff, with the case going to trial in New York City in 2005. Malm was fired, and Reznor signed with manager Jim Guerinot at Rebel Waltz. As a result, Nothing Records folded in 2004, being absorbed into Nothing's parent company, Interscope Records.<br />
<br />
Reznor spent much of 2003 working on his other projects, which never went anywhere. No one in Tapeworm was pleased with the results of their recordings, and Reznor felt that de la Rocha wasn't ready to be a solo artist. The time out of the spotlight helped his psyche and got him to a better place. In addition to finding himself more mentally clear, Reznor was taking better care of himself physically, replacing the addictions that nearly killed him with healthier habits that would aid in his overall well-being. By January of 2004, Reznor was ready to write and record a new Nine Inch Nails album.<br />
<br />
===The Great Comeback===<br />
Reznor encountered a problem in the writing process immediately: he wasn't sure if he could still write music. So he set goals for himself early on: two songs written and demoed every ten days. It was a back-to-basics approach to help him decide if he could write music while clean and sober. The demo process was very stripped-down, consisting of a drum machine, a piano, a microphone, and a computer. From those demos, Reznor would determine what worked and what didn't. He found that the piano element in the demos provided an interesting contrast to the drums, and it would remain in many of the songs.<br />
<br />
Initially, the plan was to create a concept album called ''Bleedthrough.'' As the recording process progressed, the concept was scrapped and became ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]],'' a more song-oriented rock album. It was recorded at Reznor's New Orleans studio, and it would be the last music to be recorded there. Reznor has since relocated to Los Angeles, partly to be closer to those in the music industry, but also as a way to avoid a temptation that could send him into another relapse. During the production process, Reznor invited [[Dave Grohl]] to play drums on some of the songs, at Dillon's suggestion. Recording was delayed for a few days that September when the city was evacuated due to Hurricane Ivan, which took a more easterly track at the last minute. Production ended in late 2004, and post-production began in early 2005.<br />
<br />
March 2005 was the beginning of the press junket for ''With Teeth.'' Reznor talked about his addictions and sobriety, his reaction to Cash's cover of "Hurt," his impending 40th birthday, and the upcoming tour cycle. A new touring line-up had been assembled, and Reznor was confident in their ablilities. Five concerts had been scheduled with small venue dates throughout April and May of that year. The smaller venues were chosen because Reznor wasn't yet sure if he could still play to crowds as large as in the past. The tour sold out immediately, a sign that NIN's comeback was sorely needed.<br />

''With Teeth'' was released on May 3, 2005 and debuted at the top of the ''Billboard'' charts. In part its success could be credited to the nearly six years since ''The Fragile'' and the fans' dedication. By the end of the year it would be platinum.<br />
<br />
Despite the album's success, Reznor still had to deal with the lawsuit against his former manager. Since he had to be in New York City to testify in court on May 16 and 17 (May 17, 2005 was Reznor's 40th birthday), he scheduled some tour dates there so that it wasn't all pure business. While on the witness stand, Reznor testified that he had lost trust in Malm, and that he should have read the contracts more closely. He didn't deny that his addictions may have played a role in the problems, but he still claimed that Malm was the one who was holding back on assets. At the end of the month, a jury ruled that Reznor was entitled to all assets under his name plus interest, including the Nine Inch Nails brand. Reznor walked away with an estimated US$3 million. With interest factored in, the amount could be as high as US$4–6 million. Malm could still appeal the ruling.<br />
<br />
After the success of the club tour, Nine Inch Nails traveled the world, playing at festivals and large venues. Reznor found that he could write music sober and began working on a follow-up to ''With Teeth,'' setting up makeshift studios on his tour bus, in his dressing room, and in his hotel room. It was one way that he remained sober while on the road and was one of many safety nets he established to help himself stay sober. No longer interested in the backstage partying, he now found enjoyment in making music, which he once saw as a chore or job.<br />
<br />
Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans on August 28, 2005. Reznor was at first concerned about his studio there, but initially it seemed like the city was spared from the storm. The next day, when the city's levee and pump system failed, Reznor was devastated. In the following days, his sadness became anger at the lack of response to the disaster, as he became even more vocal about his disdain with the US government. He was invited to perform on ReactNOW!, a telethon organized by Viacom with proceeds going to the American Red Cross to help those affected by the storm. Reznor performed "Hurt" with Cash's lyrical change, and premiered a new song, "[[Non-Entity]]," an internet-exclusive performance that would later be made into an MP3 file available for purchase. Proceeds from the MP3 went to the American Red Cross. Reznor decided that guitars used on the upcoming concerts would be sold on eBay with proceeds going to the Red Cross. It was one of many nonprofits that Reznor would go on to publicly support. In January 2006, he joined People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' (PETA's) campaign against the Chinese fur industry, narrating a video documenting the abuse of cats and dogs used in that nation's fur trade. In February 2006 Reznor revealed that he had adopted a retired racing greyhound, emphasizing animal adoption and rescue.<br />
<br />
When the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour ended in July 2006, Reznor rented a house in a wooded area outside of Malibu to begin turning the sounds created on the tour into a new album.<br />
<br />
===Year Zero===<br />
It all started with an ominous daydream about what the world might be like if things in the United States continued on their current path with no change in course. With some of his personal experiences from recent years mixed in, Reznor created the outline for what would be his most ambitious project ever. A European tour was announced for early 2007 in November of 2006, as Reznor was finishing the recording process.<br />
<br />
In January of 2007, Reznor announced that the forthcoming album would be called ''[[Year Zero]]'' and that it "could be about the end of the world." Mixing had begun on the album and would finish on February 5. Shortly after mixing was complete, the European tour began, along with what Reznor called the "Year Zero experience." He did very few interviews during this time, not wanting to spoil the surprise. He would become more vocal about his record label and the RIAA during this time, expressing his disdain for what he felt was the wrong approach to dealing with MP3 sharing and leaking songs.<br />
<br />
The Year Zero experience was Reznor's vision of the world in 15 years if the decline of civil liberties and an endless war on terror continued. People are drugged to keep them complacent and have GPS chips implanted under their skin. Separation of Church and State are a thing of the past and the government can now spy on everyone at every waking moment, even in their own homes. Most significantly, Reznor seems to be asking his fans to take action and prevent this vision of the future from happening, providing sites with downloadable stencils, flyers, and patterns to spread a message against censorship and the decline of civil liberties.<br />
<br />
''Year Zero'' was released on April 17, 2007, and debuted at the Number 2 position on the ''Billboard'' charts. Much of 2007 was spent touring outside of North America in support of the album, with only one US date. When the tour ended, Reznor returned to Los Angeles to finish working with hip-hop artist/author/actor [[Saul Williams]] on ''[[The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of NiggyTardust!]].'' On October 8, 2007, Reznor announced that he was no longer under contract with Interscope, allowing him to be able to distribute any future Nine Inch Nails and solo work in whatever form he desired. He also expressed his belief that being free from contract would enable him to have more direct contact with his fanbase and get his material to them in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. Interscope can still release a greatest-hits collection and is rumored to be compiling both that and a music-video retrospective. Reznor has expressed interest in helping with both of these proposed releases.<br />
<br />
As of April 2008, ''Year Zero'' has sold 480,000 copies, giving Reznor a gross return of about US$960,000. <br />
<br />
===Independence===<br />
Following the release of Williams' album and his release from Interscope, Reznor embarked on a musical experiment. The experiment was ten weeks of improvising and experimenting in the studio, and seeing what came out from it. What started as a 5-song EP soon grew into a 36-song collection that became known as ''[[Ghosts I–IV]].'' Reznor released the first volume in four parts in a 2-CD set on April 8, 2008. A download and streaming option became available on March 2, 2008. Inspired by daydreams and experimentation, ''Ghosts'' returns to Reznor's introversion and self-exploration. Around 700,000 people downloaded or bought the record in the first week of its release. Within the first week of the record's release, Reznor grossed US$1,619,420, which is US$659,420 more than ''Year Zero'' grossed in its first year of release.<br />
<br />
Shortly after ''Ghosts I–IV'' was released, Reznor revealed that he was working on yet another "secret project." On May 5, 2008, the project was revealed to be yet another new album. ''[[The Slip]]'' was released online in the early morning hours as a free download at NIN.com as a way for Reznor to show appreciation to his fanbase for their dedication. A CD/DVD of the album was released on July 22, 2008, limited to 250,000 units worldwide, followed by a concert tour to promote it and the rest of the NIN catalog.<br />
<br />
Today, Reznor is happier than he's ever been. He feels that he has found his calling in life and has found joy in creating music. Although he admits he could very easily relapse into his old ways, because he has been there, he has said he never wants to go back. He currently resides in Beverly Hills with his two Greyhounds.<br />

}}'''Ilan Rubin''' (born July 7, 1988) is the current drummer for [[Nine Inch Nails]], replacing former drummer [[Josh Freese]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Rubin began playing drums at the age of 8 upon finding his father's old drum kit in the family's garage and within three months had taught himself to play. At the age of 9, he began playing alongside his brothers and soon joined the band F.o.N., who played at three stints of the Vans Warped Tour. Rubin became a fill-in drummer for NOFX on one of those tours. By 1999, Rubin would join F.o.N. at Woodstock '99, earning him the honor of being the youngest person to ever play at a Woodstock festival, at the age of 11.<br />
<br />
That same year, Rubin submitted a video of himself playing a drum solo to ''Modern Drummer's'' "Best Undiscovered Drummer" contest, winning the title in the under-18 category. He was only 12 when he earned the title. Rubin has taken lessons from Travis Barker and David Uosikken. In addition to drums, Rubin is a guitarist and pianist.<br />
<br />
Shortly after F.o.N. disbanded, Rubin joined Denver Harbor along with his older brother and two members of the band Fenix*TX. The band released one album on 2004 before being dropped from their label.<br />
<br />
Rubin joined the Welsh band Lostprophets in 2005 after original drummer Mike Chiplin left the band. Lostprophets was working in the studio with Josh Freese before Rubin was hired and ultimately finished the drumming for their album ''Liberation Transmission.'' He has also toured with the band since then. <br />
<br />
It was around this time that Nine Inch Nails founder [[Trent Reznor]] saw the teenaged Rubin performing with Lostprophets and was blown away by what he saw. In 2008, when Freese announced his departure from NIN, Reznor began a search for a replacement and invited Rubin to an audition. On November 14, 2008, Rubin was announced as the new drummer, taking over for Freese in 2009. Rubin is the youngest person to ever join NIN, at the age of 20.<br />
<br />
In addition to assuming the drummer position in Nine Inch Nails, Rubin also has a solo project, [http://www.myspace.com/thenewregime The New Regime], which he started when he was in Lostprophets. He plans to work on The New Regime while being in [[Nine Inch Nails]].<br />

}}'''Justin Meldal-Johnsen''' (born March 26, 1970 in Eugene, Oregon, USA), commonly known to fans as '''JMJ''', is a session bassist, producer and songwriter, best known for his work with Beck. He has worked with a number of bands, including Garbage, Macy Gray, [[Tori Amos]], Air, The Mars Volta, Courtney Love, [[Ladytron]], The Foo Fighters, Frank Black and more. On June 5th, 2008, it was announced on [[nin.com]] that Meldal-Johnsen was part of the [[Nine Inch Nails]] live band.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Meldal-Johnsen was born to "hippie" parents who encouraged his love of art and music. The family moved to San Francisco, California, shortly after his birth. At the age of twelve, a family friend gave Meldal-Johnsen an old bass guitar, and with the combined influence of the then-new MTV, he learned to play guitar along to the music videos on the channel. He also played along to his and his parents' music collections, whatever he could get his hands on at the time.<br />
<br />
In his high school years, Meldal-Johnsen began to branch out into discovering more "experimental" styles of music. He also joined his first band, which broke up before they even had a chance to play any gigs. He finished high school in 1987 as a straight-A student, and had higher education on the brain.<br />
<br />
Upon completing high school, he got a job at Cherokee Recording Studio as a night-time janitor. The pay was paltry, the job was tedious, but it did come with the perk of getting to meet several of his favorite musicians, including Gene Simmons and Lou Reed. It was also there that he met string arranger David Campbell, who offered Meldal-Johnsen a job as his personal assistant. Meldal-Johnsen left the studio and found himself learning the intricacies of the music industry and beginning to forge his own career in music.<br />
<br />
While under Campbell's wing, Meldal-Johnsen met Campbell's son, Beck, who was also an aspiring musician. They became quick friends and spent a lot of time together. Beck introduced Meldal-Johnsen to Tom Waits and American folk music, and showed him how to use a 4-track, which led to them recording some songs together.<br />
<br />
Around this time, Meldal-Johnsen and a drummer friend found a guitarist by the name of Tony Hoffer, and they formed a band called Last Carousel, who made the rounds in the Los Angeles party and club scene, but didn't go very far from there. They recruited a new singer and renamed their band This Great Religion, and found more success than with their previous incarnation. They managed a "decent" following, which was difficult at the time as Los Angeles was primarily a mecca for "hair metal" bands. They released two 7" singles on Rough Trade records, toured college campuses, and played some shows in Japan before they split in 1993. While Hoffer and another member went to San Francisco, Meldal-Johnsen opted to remain in Los Angeles.<br />
<br />
Between 1993 and 1995, Meldal-Johnsen began getting his footing as a musician-for-hire, playing in the studio with some artists, and touring with others. He worked with Circle Of Power and The Elastic Purejoy, among his other early session projects. At the end of 1994, he was offered the opportunity to join legendary rock band Medecine. Meldal-Johnsen appeared on the band's 1995 release, ''Her Highness,'' and joined them on a lengthy, grueling US tour. Medicine split in 1996 due to internal conflicts within the band.<br />
<br />
Prior to Medicine's split, Meldal-Johnsen began collaborating with bandleader Brad Laner on a project called Electric Company. They recorded ''A Pert Cyclic Omen,'' which was released later in 1995. At the same time, Meldal-Johnsen joined Pet, who were later signed to Tori Amos' label and were allowed to record an album at Amos' home in Ireland in 1996.<br />
<br />
In April of the same year, Beck—who himself had established a successful career—called Meldal-Johnsen and asked if he was interested in jamming together. Meldal-Johnsen soon realized it was an audition for Beck's touring band, which would be a full-time commitment. Meldal-Johnsen accepted the offer, and became a regular on Beck's albums and tours. Meldal-Johnsen went on to play on ''Mutations,'' ''Midnight Vultures,'' and ''Sea Change,'' and also became Beck's live music director. Hoffer was also called in from San Francisco to join the band at Meldal-Johnsen's suggestion, and would engineer and co-produce some parts of ''Midnight Vultures.'' Hoffer and Meldal-Johnsen were back as collaborators.<br />
<br />
In addition to Beck, Meldal-Johnsen appeared on three of Amos' albums: ''From The Choirgirl Hotel,'' ''Strange Little Girls,'' and ''Scarlet's Walk.'' In 1998 he became a touring bassist with the French group Air in support of their debut, ''Moon Safari.'' <br />
He appeared on the band's second album, ''10,000 Hz Legend.''<br />
<br />
When he hasn't been involved in any major jobs, Meldal-Johnsen has worked with several other artists in the studio. He also co-wrote and recorded Macy Gray's 2003 release, ''The Trouble With Being Myself.'' In addition, he's dome remixes for seeral artists and scores for a handful of films.<br />
<br />
In 2002, Meldal-Johnsen formed Ima Robot, and got a major-label deal in the same year. Their debut album was released in 2003, and the band toured extensively with several bands during that time.<br />
<br />
In 2008, Meldal-Johnsen's friend [[Josh Freese]] told him of an available position in Nine Inch Nails following a sudden departure of a recently recruited member. Meldal-Johnsen auditioned before NIN founder [[Trent Reznor]] and was given the position of bassist and multi-instrumentalist. He is currently on tour with NIN though 2009.<br />
<br />
Meldal-Johnsen currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.<br />

}}'''Robin Finck''' (born November 7, 1971) is from Georgia and is the lead guitarist of [[Nine Inch Nails]]. Finck is one of only a few artists who have played two bands listed on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock:" Nine Inch Nails (#43) and Guns N' Roses (#9).<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
Finck began his career by playing for many local Atlanta bands, such as Prowess (who later changed their name to Bat Your Lashes and then Sik Dik), The Hookers and Heroin (also known as Impotent Sea Snakes {ISS} when in drag). He joined Nine Inch Nails in 1994-95 for the [[Self Destruct Tour]]. Finck also appeared with the band at [[Woodstock '94]] and on 1997's ''[[Closure]].''<br />
<br />
Following touring with NIN he took a job playing for Cirque du Soleil and in late 1996 was recruited by Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses to replace Slash. Finck later rejoined NIN as part of the live band for the [[Fragility]] Tour and appears on the accompanying album/DVD, ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]].'' Shortly after the NIN tour ended in late 2000, he returned to GN'R and remained in the line-up for almost 8 years, even turning down an offer to re-join NIN in 2005, but inevitably re-joined again in 2008.<br />
<br />
Robin Finck was announced via www.nin.com to again be in Nine Inch Nails on April 4, 2008 after an 8 year stint with GnR.<br />
<br />
Finck is a noted bird enthusiast, and his website discusses his fascination with them. Many NIN fans have noted after hearing of his avian fascination that many of his changes to NIN songs during the [[Fragility]] tour stems from his bird-sound-inspired choice of guitar tones and sounds. This is especially notable on the pre-solo section to "[[The Wretched]]" and "[[Just Like You Imagined]]."<br />

}}'''Ilan Rubin''' (born July 7, 1988) is the current drummer for [[Nine Inch Nails]], replacing former drummer [[Josh Freese]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Rubin began playing drums at the age of 8 upon finding his father's old drum kit in the family's garage and within three months had taught himself to play. At the age of 9, he began playing alongside his brothers and soon joined the band F.o.N., who played at three stints of the Vans Warped Tour. Rubin became a fill-in drummer for NOFX on one of those tours. By 1999, Rubin would join F.o.N. at Woodstock '99, earning him the honor of being the youngest person to ever play at a Woodstock festival, at the age of 11.<br />
<br />
That same year, Rubin submitted a video of himself playing a drum solo to ''Modern Drummer's'' "Best Undiscovered Drummer" contest, winning the title in the under-18 category. He was only 12 when he earned the title. Rubin has taken lessons from Travis Barker and David Uosikken. In addition to drums, Rubin is a guitarist and pianist.<br />
<br />
Shortly after F.o.N. disbanded, Rubin joined Denver Harbor along with his older brother and two members of the band Fenix*TX. The band released one album on 2004 before being dropped from their label.<br />
<br />
Rubin joined the Welsh band Lostprophets in 2005 after original drummer Mike Chiplin left the band. Lostprophets was working in the studio with Josh Freese before Rubin was hired and ultimately finished the drumming for their album ''Liberation Transmission.'' He has also toured with the band since then. <br />
<br />
It was around this time that Nine Inch Nails founder [[Trent Reznor]] saw the teenaged Rubin performing with Lostprophets and was blown away by what he saw. In 2008, when Freese announced his departure from NIN, Reznor began a search for a replacement and invited Rubin to an audition. On November 14, 2008, Rubin was announced as the new drummer, taking over for Freese in 2009. Rubin is the youngest person to ever join NIN, at the age of 20.<br />
<br />
In addition to assuming the drummer position in Nine Inch Nails, Rubin also has a solo project, [http://www.myspace.com/thenewregime The New Regime], which he started when he was in Lostprophets. He plans to work on The New Regime while being in [[Nine Inch Nails]].<br />

}}'''Michael Trent Reznor''' (born May 17, 1965, in Mercer, Pennsylvania) is the founder and mastermind behind [[Nine Inch Nails]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Growing Up===<br />
Reznor was born and raised in the western Pennsylvania town of Mercer in a Lutheran household (although Reznor now states that he believes in God, but has no actual religion). Because he has the same first name as his father, he was called by his middle name to avoid confusion. In late 1970, soon after the birth of his little sister, Reznor's father left and his parents divorced. He and his infant sister were sent to live with their maternal grandparents, primarily because it would have been too difficult for their mother to raise them by herself. Reznor's grandmother decided that the 5-year-old should take classical piano lessons. Over the years he became immersed in music and has been compared to Harry Connick, Jr. by his piano teacher.<br />
<br />
By the time Reznor was in high school he discovered horror movies and rock music. KISS and [[David Bowie]] were his heroes. His grandmother considered pulling him out of school so that he could focus on his piano studies full-time, with the hope that he would become a classical pianist. Reznor did not want this and instead became active in Mercer High School's Marching Band, Concert Band, and in theater. He played tenor saxophone and tuba in the school bands, even winning Top Woodwind at one point. He also played Judas in the school's production of ''Jesus Christ Superstar'' and landed the title role in ''The Music Man.''<br />
<br />
===The Early Years===<br />
{{see also|:Category:Early bands}}<br />
Reznor graduated from high school in 1983 and went on to study production at Allegheny College. It was around this time that he joined his first "real" band, [[Option 30]]. They became popular in the college scene in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio but Reznor clearly wanted to get out and see more. After a year in college, Reznor dropped out of school and left Option 30, moving to Cleveland. Once there, he worked a few odd jobs, selling music instruments and also working as a studio technician at Right Track Studio. It was in Cleveland that he met roommate and future bandmate [[Chris Vrenna]]. The day jobs helped Reznor pay the bills but, like in Pennsylvania, he became active in Cleveland's music scene.<br />
<br />
Reznor's first band in Cleveland was a cover band called [[The Urge]]. This band drew crowds and Reznor got some recognition. When he left the band months later they lost much of their audience. Reznor briefly re-joined before parting ways again shortly thereafter. In 1986 he joined the [[Exotic Birds]] as a keyboardist and back-up vocalist with [[Andy Kubiszewski]] (who would later join [[Stabbing Westward]]) and, at one point, Vrenna. The Exotic Birds received some national attention after playing a few gigs with the Culture Club, but Reznor's tenure with them would not last. This was followed by keyboardist positions in [[The Innocent]], [[Lucky Pierre]], and [[Slam Bamboo]]. But all the while, Reznor wanted to be able to do his own music and be his own musician.<br />
<br />
In 1988, Reznor was finally able to write his first "real" song. It was entitled "[[Down in It (song)|Down In It]]" and was recorded as part of a demo during Reznor's spare time at the studio. After trying to come up with a name for his solo project, he settled on the name Nine Inch Nails (NIN for short) because "it sounded menacing, it was catchy, it stood the two-week test, and it could be easily abbreviated." He later befriended [[John A. Malm, Jr.]], who would become his manager for 15 years. The demo (known as ''[[Purest Feeling (halo)|Purest Feeling]]'') was shopped around to various record labels. Ultimately TVT Records, known for its TV music compilations, signed Reznor and offered to help him release his music.<br />
<br />
===NIN Begins===<br />
Reznor reworked many of the demos he recorded and even added some new material to his debut album, entitled ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]].'' After its recording he assembled a small live band, inviting Vrenna to join him as one of his bandmates. This band played some small shows in Cleveland and was eventually invited on the road by [[Skinny Puppy]]. The band would eventually be invited to join the first [[Lollapalooza Tour|Lollapalooza]] tour, where they became one of the most popular bands on the tour.<br />
<br />
By the time 1991 rolled around, Reznor was in a miserable state. The label was pressuring him to record more material but was trying to tell him which producers to use and how the material should sound. Reznor wanted out of his contract and secretly recorded an EP in various locations around the world. The EP, titled ''[[Broken]],'' was released in 1992 and explained the situation to its buyers. The EP was released by [[Nothing Records]], which Reznor and Malm established to help him get out of his contract. Eventually TVT settled with Reznor, allowing him the creative freedom he wanted, but they would distribute future releases.<br />
<br />
It was during this time that Reznor was in the process of recording the second NIN album, ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' It was recorded in a Beverly Hills mansion-turned-studio dubbed "[[Le Pig]]" that would later be revealed to be the house where actress Sharon Tate and others were murdered by followers of cult leader Charles Manson. Reznor had also befriended a Florida-based shock-rock band, [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]], who would sign to Nothing Records.<br />
<br />
===Spiraling Down===<br />
''The Downward Spiral'' was released in March of 1994 and had a significantly different sound. Reznor was much more experimental, creating soundscapes and improvising in the studio rather than having something written beforehand. It was touted as a concept album, describing someone throwing away everything in his life in hopes of finding some sense of peace. The album was a personal and commercial success, but with the increasing exposure, Reznor's personal problems began to multiply. He found himself turning to drugs and alcohol often as an escape from the pressure put on him by the media, the label, and even himself. The extensive touring behind the album didn't help his problems, either.<br />
<br />
It would be the mud-soaked [[1994/08/13 Saugerties, NY|Woodstock '94]] performance that would thrust Reznor into the national consciousness. Broadcast on Pay-Per-View, the visceral performace would make Reznor a superstar among the many bands and musicians who were active at the time. However, the sudden national fame and recognition only accelerated Reznor's increasing problems.<br />
<br />
By the end of the touring cycle (known as the [[Self-Destruct]] tour), Reznor was miserable. He had sunk into addiction, and pressure from the label to begin work on a follow-up to ''The Downward Spiral'' took its toll. He stepped back for a little while and took time to sort things out.<br />
<br />
===Fragile===<br />
The time between the end of the Self-Destruct tour and the release of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' was one of reflection and realization for Reznor. He checked into a Florida rehabilitation center to deal with the drug and alcohol problems that plagued him throughout the last tour. Shortly after completing the program, he received word that his maternal grandmother had died. Reznor was completely devastated by this news and went into counselling to help him deal with his loss. Through this event he managed to write a song that conveyed his emotions and thoughts ("[[I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally]]"). He was back in the studio working on the follow-up to ''The Downward Spiral,'' which would turn out to be an ambitious, 2-disc epic of soundscapes.<br />
<br />
''The Fragile'' was released in September 1999 and debuted at the top of the ''Billboard'' album charts. It soon fell off the charts due to a number of factors. Among them were a lack of marketing from the record label and the sheer length of the album. Reznor decided to celebrate the album's chart debut with a drink, which led to a relapse into drugs and alcohol.<br />
<br />
Touring began shortly after the album's release. The [[Fragility]] tour would last a total of 8 months and travel the world. During the US tour, Reznor rekindled his friendship with [[Brian Warner]], frontman for the band Marilyn Manson, which had soured in 1997 following the release of the ''[[Lost Highway Soundtrack]].'' Initially Manson was offered the producer position but Reznor ultimately got it. The friendship was revived in part because of changes in popular music.<br />
<br />
As the tour progressed, Reznor's health declined as his addictions got worse. It culminated with a tour stop in London, when Reznor overdosed on heroin, prompting a long-awaited concert to be cancelled. Citing Reznor's privacy and not wanting to bring about a media firestorm, the band's management explained that another member of the band, new drummer [[Jerome Dillon]], was sick with a stomach flu. After the cancellation, Reznor apologized and explained the situation. He understood that people were angry about it and he stressed that concerts are never cancelled without a valid reason.<br />
<br />
===Rehab and Recovery===<br />
Overdosing on heroin was a wake-up call to Reznor, who now could not deny his problems. Worse news came in 2001, almost a year after the Fragility tour ended. While working on a live CD and DVD chronicling the US leg of the tour, a studio technician Reznor befriended was shot and killed in a gang-related crime. Seeing that his addictions had contributed to gang activity, Reznor was determined to get his problems under control.<br />
<br />
On July 11, 2001, Reznor checked into a New Orleans rehabilitation center and endured a cold-turkey withdrawal experience that makes him shudder to this day. Upon leaving the facility, Reznor was more determined than ever to stay clean and sober. He finished the live set, titled ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]],'' and began to focus on other projects. Among his projects were [[Tapeworm]], a collaboration with [[Tool]]/[[A Perfect Circle]] singer [[Maynard James Keenan]], and producing former Rage Against The Machine frontman [[Zack de la Rocha]]'s solo album.<br />
<br />
In summer of 2002, [[Rick Rubin]] called Reznor in regard to country music legend [[Johnny Cash]] recording a cover of the song "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]." Reznor was honored and okayed the recording since Rubin has done great work with Cash, and it wasn't very likely that "Hurt" would make the cut. In November 2002 Reznor received a CD containing Cash's cover and wasn't sure what to think of it. About four months later he received a DVD containing a music video for the song. Reznor was flattered, honored, and moved to tears by the results.<br />
<br />
In 2003, Malm presented Reznor with some startling news about his assets. It was revealed that he didn't have as much money as he thought he did, with his net worth estimated to be somewhere between US$400,000 and $3,000,000. Malm also presented Reznor with a bill asking for US$3,000,000 in payment. Shocked by this, Reznor looked back at the contracts he had signed with Malm and found some errors. Malm sued to collect on the money he claimed he was owed. Reznor countered, claiming that Malm had been holding back earnings. Both suits were combined into one lawsuit by a federal judge in 2004, naming Reznor as the plaintiff, with the case going to trial in New York City in 2005. Malm was fired, and Reznor signed with manager Jim Guerinot at Rebel Waltz. As a result, Nothing Records folded in 2004, being absorbed into Nothing's parent company, Interscope Records.<br />
<br />
Reznor spent much of 2003 working on his other projects, which never went anywhere. No one in Tapeworm was pleased with the results of their recordings, and Reznor felt that de la Rocha wasn't ready to be a solo artist. The time out of the spotlight helped his psyche and got him to a better place. In addition to finding himself more mentally clear, Reznor was taking better care of himself physically, replacing the addictions that nearly killed him with healthier habits that would aid in his overall well-being. By January of 2004, Reznor was ready to write and record a new Nine Inch Nails album.<br />
<br />
===The Great Comeback===<br />
Reznor encountered a problem in the writing process immediately: he wasn't sure if he could still write music. So he set goals for himself early on: two songs written and demoed every ten days. It was a back-to-basics approach to help him decide if he could write music while clean and sober. The demo process was very stripped-down, consisting of a drum machine, a piano, a microphone, and a computer. From those demos, Reznor would determine what worked and what didn't. He found that the piano element in the demos provided an interesting contrast to the drums, and it would remain in many of the songs.<br />
<br />
Initially, the plan was to create a concept album called ''Bleedthrough.'' As the recording process progressed, the concept was scrapped and became ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]],'' a more song-oriented rock album. It was recorded at Reznor's New Orleans studio, and it would be the last music to be recorded there. Reznor has since relocated to Los Angeles, partly to be closer to those in the music industry, but also as a way to avoid a temptation that could send him into another relapse. During the production process, Reznor invited [[Dave Grohl]] to play drums on some of the songs, at Dillon's suggestion. Recording was delayed for a few days that September when the city was evacuated due to Hurricane Ivan, which took a more easterly track at the last minute. Production ended in late 2004, and post-production began in early 2005.<br />
<br />
March 2005 was the beginning of the press junket for ''With Teeth.'' Reznor talked about his addictions and sobriety, his reaction to Cash's cover of "Hurt," his impending 40th birthday, and the upcoming tour cycle. A new touring line-up had been assembled, and Reznor was confident in their ablilities. Five concerts had been scheduled with small venue dates throughout April and May of that year. The smaller venues were chosen because Reznor wasn't yet sure if he could still play to crowds as large as in the past. The tour sold out immediately, a sign that NIN's comeback was sorely needed.<br />
<br />
''With Teeth'' was released on May 3, 2005 and debuted at the top of the ''Billboard'' charts. In part its success could be credited to the nearly six years since ''The Fragile'' and the fans' dedication. By the end of the year it would be platinum.<br />
<br />
Despite the album's success, Reznor still had to deal with the lawsuit against his former manager. Since he had to be in New York City to testify in court on May 16 and 17 (May 17, 2005 was Reznor's 40th birthday), he scheduled some tour dates there so that it wasn't all pure business. While on the witness stand, Reznor testified that he had lost trust in Malm, and that he should have read the contracts more closely. He didn't deny that his addictions may have played a role in the problems, but he still claimed that Malm was the one who was holding back on assets. At the end of the month, a jury ruled that Reznor was entitled to all assets under his name plus interest, including the Nine Inch Nails brand. Reznor walked away with an estimated US$3 million. With interest factored in, the amount could be as high as US$4–6 million. Malm could still appeal the ruling.<br />
<br />
After the success of the club tour, Nine Inch Nails traveled the world, playing at festivals and large venues. Reznor found that he could write music sober and began working on a follow-up to ''With Teeth,'' setting up makeshift studios on his tour bus, in his dressing room, and in his hotel room. It was one way that he remained sober while on the road and was one of many safety nets he established to help himself stay sober. No longer interested in the backstage partying, he now found enjoyment in making music, which he once saw as a chore or job.<br />
<br />
Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans on August 28, 2005. Reznor was at first concerned about his studio there, but initially it seemed like the city was spared from the storm. The next day, when the city's levee and pump system failed, Reznor was devastated. In the following days, his sadness became anger at the lack of response to the disaster, as he became even more vocal about his disdain with the US government. He was invited to perform on ReactNOW!, a telethon organized by Viacom with proceeds going to the American Red Cross to help those affected by the storm. Reznor performed "Hurt" with Cash's lyrical change, and premiered a new song, "[[Non-Entity]]," an internet-exclusive performance that would later be made into an MP3 file available for purchase. Proceeds from the MP3 went to the American Red Cross. Reznor decided that guitars used on the upcoming concerts would be sold on eBay with proceeds going to the Red Cross. It was one of many nonprofits that Reznor would go on to publicly support. In January 2006, he joined People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' (PETA's) campaign against the Chinese fur industry, narrating a video documenting the abuse of cats and dogs used in that nation's fur trade. In February 2006 Reznor revealed that he had adopted a retired racing greyhound, emphasizing animal adoption and rescue.<br />
<br />
When the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour ended in July 2006, Reznor rented a house in a wooded area outside of Malibu to begin turning the sounds created on the tour into a new album.<br />
<br />
===Year Zero===<br />
It all started with an ominous daydream about what the world might be like if things in the United States continued on their current path with no change in course. With some of his personal experiences from recent years mixed in, Reznor created the outline for what would be his most ambitious project ever. A European tour was announced for early 2007 in November of 2006, as Reznor was finishing the recording process.<br />
<br />
In January of 2007, Reznor announced that the forthcoming album would be called ''[[Year Zero]]'' and that it "could be about the end of the world." Mixing had begun on the album and would finish on February 5. Shortly after mixing was complete, the European tour began, along with what Reznor called the "Year Zero experience." He did very few interviews during this time, not wanting to spoil the surprise. He would become more vocal about his record label and the RIAA during this time, expressing his disdain for what he felt was the wrong approach to dealing with MP3 sharing and leaking songs.<br />
<br />
The Year Zero experience was Reznor's vision of the world in 15 years if the decline of civil liberties and an endless war on terror continued. People are drugged to keep them complacent and have GPS chips implanted under their skin. Separation of Church and State are a thing of the past and the government can now spy on everyone at every waking moment, even in their own homes. Most significantly, Reznor seems to be asking his fans to take action and prevent this vision of the future from happening, providing sites with downloadable stencils, flyers, and patterns to spread a message against censorship and the decline of civil liberties.<br />
<br />
''Year Zero'' was released on April 17, 2007, and debuted at the Number 2 position on the ''Billboard'' charts. Much of 2007 was spent touring outside of North America in support of the album, with only one US date. When the tour ended, Reznor returned to Los Angeles to finish working with hip-hop artist/author/actor [[Saul Williams]] on ''[[The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of NiggyTardust!]].'' On October 8, 2007, Reznor announced that he was no longer under contract with Interscope, allowing him to be able to distribute any future Nine Inch Nails and solo work in whatever form he desired. He also expressed his belief that being free from contract would enable him to have more direct contact with his fanbase and get his material to them in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. Interscope can still release a greatest-hits collection and is rumored to be compiling both that and a music-video retrospective. Reznor has expressed interest in helping with both of these proposed releases.<br />
<br />
As of April 2008, ''Year Zero'' has sold 480,000 copies, giving Reznor a gross return of about US$960,000. <br />
<br />
===Independence===<br />
Following the release of Williams' album and his release from Interscope, Reznor embarked on a musical experiment. The experiment was ten weeks of improvising and experimenting in the studio, and seeing what came out from it. What started as a 5-song EP soon grew into a 36-song collection that became known as ''[[Ghosts I–IV]].'' Reznor released the first volume in four parts in a 2-CD set on April 8, 2008. A download and streaming option became available on March 2, 2008. Inspired by daydreams and experimentation, ''Ghosts'' returns to Reznor's introversion and self-exploration. Around 700,000 people downloaded or bought the record in the first week of its release. Within the first week of the record's release, Reznor grossed US$1,619,420, which is US$659,420 more than ''Year Zero'' grossed in its first year of release.<br />
<br />
Shortly after ''Ghosts I–IV'' was released, Reznor revealed that he was working on yet another "secret project." On May 5, 2008, the project was revealed to be yet another new album. ''[[The Slip]]'' was released online in the early morning hours as a free download at NIN.com as a way for Reznor to show appreciation to his fanbase for their dedication. A CD/DVD of the album was released on July 22, 2008, limited to 250,000 units worldwide, followed by a concert tour to promote it and the rest of the NIN catalog.<br />
<br />
Today, Reznor is happier than he's ever been. He feels that he has found his calling in life and has found joy in creating music. Although he admits he could very easily relapse into his old ways, because he has been there, he has said he never wants to go back. He currently resides in Beverly Hills with his two Greyhounds.<br />

}}'''Justin Meldal-Johnsen''' (born March 26, 1970 in Eugene, Oregon, USA), commonly known to fans as '''JMJ''', is a session bassist, producer and songwriter, best known for his work with Beck. He has worked with a number of bands, including Garbage, Macy Gray, [[Tori Amos]], Air, The Mars Volta, Courtney Love, [[Ladytron]], The Foo Fighters, Frank Black and more. On June 5th, 2008, it was announced on [[nin.com]] that Meldal-Johnsen was part of the [[Nine Inch Nails]] live band.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Meldal-Johnsen was born to "hippie" parents who encouraged his love of art and music. The family moved to San Francisco, California, shortly after his birth. At the age of twelve, a family friend gave Meldal-Johnsen an old bass guitar, and with the combined influence of the then-new MTV, he learned to play guitar along to the music videos on the channel. He also played along to his and his parents' music collections, whatever he could get his hands on at the time.<br />
<br />
In his high school years, Meldal-Johnsen began to branch out into discovering more "experimental" styles of music. He also joined his first band, which broke up before they even had a chance to play any gigs. He finished high school in 1987 as a straight-A student, and had higher education on the brain.<br />
<br />
Upon completing high school, he got a job at Cherokee Recording Studio as a night-time janitor. The pay was paltry, the job was tedious, but it did come with the perk of getting to meet several of his favorite musicians, including Gene Simmons and Lou Reed. It was also there that he met string arranger David Campbell, who offered Meldal-Johnsen a job as his personal assistant. Meldal-Johnsen left the studio and found himself learning the intricacies of the music industry and beginning to forge his own career in music.<br />
<br />
While under Campbell's wing, Meldal-Johnsen met Campbell's son, Beck, who was also an aspiring musician. They became quick friends and spent a lot of time together. Beck introduced Meldal-Johnsen to Tom Waits and American folk music, and showed him how to use a 4-track, which led to them recording some songs together.<br />
<br />
Around this time, Meldal-Johnsen and a drummer friend found a guitarist by the name of Tony Hoffer, and they formed a band called Last Carousel, who made the rounds in the Los Angeles party and club scene, but didn't go very far from there. They recruited a new singer and renamed their band This Great Religion, and found more success than with their previous incarnation. They managed a "decent" following, which was difficult at the time as Los Angeles was primarily a mecca for "hair metal" bands. They released two 7" singles on Rough Trade records, toured college campuses, and played some shows in Japan before they split in 1993. While Hoffer and another member went to San Francisco, Meldal-Johnsen opted to remain in Los Angeles.<br />
<br />
Between 1993 and 1995, Meldal-Johnsen began getting his footing as a musician-for-hire, playing in the studio with some artists, and touring with others. He worked with Circle Of Power and The Elastic Purejoy, among his other early session projects. At the end of 1994, he was offered the opportunity to join legendary rock band Medecine. Meldal-Johnsen appeared on the band's 1995 release, ''Her Highness,'' and joined them on a lengthy, grueling US tour. Medicine split in 1996 due to internal conflicts within the band.<br />
<br />
Prior to Medicine's split, Meldal-Johnsen began collaborating with bandleader Brad Laner on a project called Electric Company. They recorded ''A Pert Cyclic Omen,'' which was released later in 1995. At the same time, Meldal-Johnsen joined Pet, who were later signed to Tori Amos' label and were allowed to record an album at Amos' home in Ireland in 1996.<br />
<br />
In April of the same year, Beck—who himself had established a successful career—called Meldal-Johnsen and asked if he was interested in jamming together. Meldal-Johnsen soon realized it was an audition for Beck's touring band, which would be a full-time commitment. Meldal-Johnsen accepted the offer, and became a regular on Beck's albums and tours. Meldal-Johnsen went on to play on ''Mutations,'' ''Midnight Vultures,'' and ''Sea Change,'' and also became Beck's live music director. Hoffer was also called in from San Francisco to join the band at Meldal-Johnsen's suggestion, and would engineer and co-produce some parts of ''Midnight Vultures.'' Hoffer and Meldal-Johnsen were back as collaborators.<br />
<br />
In addition to Beck, Meldal-Johnsen appeared on three of Amos' albums: ''From The Choirgirl Hotel,'' ''Strange Little Girls,'' and ''Scarlet's Walk.'' In 1998 he became a touring bassist with the French group Air in support of their debut, ''Moon Safari.'' <br />
He appeared on the band's second album, ''10,000 Hz Legend.''<br />
<br />
When he hasn't been involved in any major jobs, Meldal-Johnsen has worked with several other artists in the studio. He also co-wrote and recorded Macy Gray's 2003 release, ''The Trouble With Being Myself.'' In addition, he's dome remixes for seeral artists and scores for a handful of films.<br />
<br />
In 2002, Meldal-Johnsen formed Ima Robot, and got a major-label deal in the same year. Their debut album was released in 2003, and the band toured extensively with several bands during that time.<br />
<br />
In 2008, Meldal-Johnsen's friend [[Josh Freese]] told him of an available position in Nine Inch Nails following a sudden departure of a recently recruited member. Meldal-Johnsen auditioned before NIN founder [[Trent Reznor]] and was given the position of bassist and multi-instrumentalist. He is currently on tour with NIN though 2009.<br />
<br />
Meldal-Johnsen currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.<br />

While under Campbell's wing, Meldal-Johnsen met Campbell's son, Beck, who was also an aspiring musician. They became quick friends and spent a lot of time together. Beck introduced Meldal-Johnsen to Tom Waits and American folk music, and showed him how to use a 4-track, which led to them recording some songs together.<br />
<br />
Around this time, Meldal-Johnsen and a drummer friend found a guitarist by the name of Tony Hoffer, and they formed a band called Last Carousel, who made the rounds in the Los Angeles party and club scene, but didn't go very far from there. They recruited a new singer and renamed their band This Great Religion, and found more success than with their previous incarnation. They managed a "decent" following, which was difficult at the time as Los Angeles was primarily a mecca for "hair metal" bands. They released two 7" singles on Rough Trade records, toured college campuses, and played some shows in Japan before they split in 1993. While Hoffer and another member went to San Francisco, Meldal-Johnsen opted to remain in Los Angeles.<br />
<br />
Between 1993 and 1995, Meldal-Johnsen began getting his footing as a musician-for-hire, playing in the studio with some artists, and touring with others. He worked with Circle Of Power and The Elastic Purejoy, among his other early session projects. At the end of 1994, he was offered the opportunity to join legendary rock band Medecine. Meldal-Johnsen appeared on the band's 1995 release, ''Her Highness,'' and joined them on a lengthy, grueling US tour. Medicine split in 1996 due to internal conflicts within the band.<br />
<br />
Prior to Medicine's split, Meldal-Johnsen began collaborating with bandleader Brad Laner on a project called Electric Company. They recorded ''A Pert Cyclic Omen,'' which was released later in 1995. At the same time, Meldal-Johnsen joined Pet, who were later signed to Tori Amos' label and were allowed to record an album at Amos' home in Ireland in 1996.<br />
<br />
In April of the same year, Beck—who himself had established a successful career—called Meldal-Johnsen and asked if he was interested in jamming together. Meldal-Johnsen soon realized it was an audition for Beck's touring band, which would be a full-time commitment. Meldal-Johnsen accepted the offer, and became a regular on Beck's albums and tours. Meldal-Johnsen went on to play on ''Mutations,'' ''Midnight Vultures,'' and ''Sea Change,'' and also became Beck's live music director. Hoffer was also called in from San Francisco to join the band at Meldal-Johnsen's suggestion, and would engineer and co-produce some parts of ''Midnight Vultures.'' Hoffer and Meldal-Johnsen were back as collaborators.<br />
<br />
In addition to Beck, Meldal-Johnsen appeared on three of Amos' albums: ''From The Choirgirl Hotel,'' ''Strange Little Girls,'' and ''Scarlet's Walk.'' In 1998 he became a touring bassist with the French group Air in support of their debut, ''Moon Safari.'' <br />
He appeared on the band's second album, ''10,000 Hz Legend.''<br />
<br />
When he hasn't been involved in any major jobs, Meldal-Johnsen has worked with several other artists in the studio. He also co-wrote and recorded Macy Gray's 2003 release, ''The Trouble With Being Myself.'' In addition, he's dome remixes for seeral artists and scores for a handful of films.<br />
<br />
In 2002, Meldal-Johnsen formed Ima Robot, and got a major-label deal in the same year. Their debut album was released in 2003, and the band toured extensively with several bands during that time.<br />
<br />
In 2008, Meldal-Johnsen's friend [[Josh Freese]] told him of an available position in Nine Inch Nails following a sudden departure of a recently recruited member. Meldal-Johnsen auditioned before NIN founder [[Trent Reznor]] and was given the position of bassist and multi-instrumentalist. He is currently on tour with NIN though 2009.<br />
<br />
Meldal-Johnsen currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.<br />

<div>[[Image:Skinnypuppy.jpg|thumb|Nivek Ogre with Skinny Puppy, 2007 in NYC]]<br />
'''Skinny Puppy''' is a notable [[industrial]] band from Vancouver, Canada. The band formed in early 1982 and has risen as a pioneering force in industrial music, combining the ferocity of punk with the experimentation, noise, and theatrics of the budding electronic movement. The band split after the grueling recording of ''The Process'' but reformed in 2000. The band is currently still active.<br />
<br />
Some of the very first Nine Inch Nails shows were opening slots for Skinny Puppy along select [[VIVIsectVI Tour|VIVIsectVI]] tour dates in 1988 and featured material from ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' and ''[[Purest Feeling (halo)|Purest Feeling]].'' [[Trent Reznor]] has claimed his "first song" "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]" is a "total rip-off" of Skinny Puppy's 1986 single "Dig It" in a radio interview. The two do bear a bit of resemblance. <br />
<br />
Skinny Puppy's vocalist/front-man Nivek Ogre has performed live on stage alongside Reznor in the band [[Pigface]], most notably sharing a duet of the song "[[Suck]]" which was recorded on video. In 2005, Ogre sang the song "[[Supernaut]]," often attributed to Reznor, with the band [[Ministry]] at a live show in New York City. Rumors exist that Ogre and Reznor have met socially in recent times, but it is unlikely to expect any collaboration.<br />
<br />
Trent Reznor has also worked extensively with Dave "Rave" Ogilvie, a one-time permanent fixture in Skinny Puppy as producer and band member.<br />

Skinny Puppy was recently featured on nin.com in a photograph taken by Trent Reznor.<br />

<blockquote><br />
I have to chime in, can't resist. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
What a goddamn GIFT it was to be able to play that show. I could die now and be quite content, if only because as a collective audience you people were so spectacular and kick-ass. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
These past two nights have been really heavy. I'm already sentimental about them, but of course I'm an old softie. <br />
<br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
To those who were waiting after the show, sorry that I had to split so quickly. I'll try to make it up to you, for those of you that might be joining us at one of the Terminal 5 gigs. <br />

Today = recover &amp; rest. <br />

[[Category:Tour Dates]][[Category:Wave Goodbye Tour]]</div>Moebiushttps://www.nin.wiki/index.php?title=John_A._Malm,_Jr.&diff=27287John A. Malm, Jr.2009-08-24T15:59:29Z<p>Moebius: /* With Nine Inch Nails */ clarify which label</p>
<hr />
<div>'''John A. Malm, Jr.''' is best known as [[Trent Reznor]]'s former manager and co-founder of [[Nothing Records]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Early History===<br />
Malm was born in Cleveland, Ohio, where he grew up and attended Denison University, achieving a degree in Mass Media Communications. He worked as a manager for his university radio station during his time at Denison.<br />
<br />
Malm began his artist management career after college by managing several local acts, including Lucky Pierre and System 56. He soon became the full-time manager of the local band [[Exotic Birds]], in which Reznor was a member at the time. Malm and Reznor left the Exotic Birds in 1987, and Malm quickly picked up Reznor as a client after hearing his ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' demos. Malm and Reznor eventually signed onto [[TVT Records]]. [http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/06/01/0843047.php]<br />
<br />
===With Nine Inch Nails===<br />
After having contract disputes with TVT, Malm and Reznor formed [[Nothing Records]], and jointly released ''[[Broken]]'' with TVT. This would be their last release with the latter, as they then made an agreement to be released through the major label [[Interscope Records|Interscope]]. This agreement continued as both Malm and Reznor saw great success throughout the 90's, signing several big acts and personal favorites to Nothing, such as [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]], [[Pop Will Eat Itself]], and [[Prick]].<br />
<br />
===Legal Clash===<br />
Over several years leading up to the release of 2005's ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]],'' Malm sued Reznor for unpaid commissions throughout his career, totaling $2 million. The newly sober Reznor counter sued Malm for financial mismanagement. Reznor alleged that Malm took advantage of his addictions and manipulated him into signing unfair agreements. During this time Reznor signed an agreement which entitled Malm to 20% of his gross earnings for an indefinite time, even if Reznor chose to seek new management.<br />
<br />
On May 27, 2005, the court eventually ordered Malm to repay Reznor $2.95 million plus interest in lost earnings and damages. Factoring the interest in may double the amount awarded to Reznor. Malm can still appeal the verdict if he chooses.<br />
<br />
==Trent Reznor's Comments==<br />
Reznor has made several subtle and direct comments about the situation with Malm.<br />
<br />
The Associated Press reported that in court, Reznor said:<br />
<br />
"John was the business guy, and I was the guy working for nothing in the studio."<br />

}}'''"March of the Pigs"''' is the fourth track on 1994's ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].'' It has one of the most unique metres of any song to enjoy popular radio play, alternating three measures of 7/8 time with one measure of 4/4 time in the verses (in effect, a 29/8 time signature). The chorus is in the common 4/4 time signature. As a result, with eighth notes getting the count, the song has a BPM rate of 269.<br />
<br />
Lyrically, the song could be about society or NIN's fans, but [[Trent Reznor]] has stated in the interview titled Disturbed that the "pigs" in this song refer mainly to "anywhere from the media to people he thought were friends around him." Furthermore, he said, "The issue I was addressing was... when we attained a certain level of success, it was surprising to see the legion of people starting to fuck with you, can't wait to see you fail, hoping that you'll fuck up, ripping you off, trying to use you... The fact that American media, in 'underground world,' you go from being the darling to 'well, we accidentally started selling some records,' so they have to turn their backs on us."<br />
<br />
The chorus of this song shares its chord progression with the bridge of "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]."<br />

==Versions==<br />
===March Of The Pigs===<br />
This Is the original album version.<br />
<br />
===March Of The Pigs (clean)===<br />
The radio edit deletes the word "fuck," making it safe to air on American radio stations.<br />
<br />
===All The Pigs, All Lined Up===<br />
This version is entirely in 4/4 and has en extended ending that incorporates the lyric "Don't you feel a whole lot better?"<br />
<br />
===March Of The Pigs (''And All That Could Have Been'')===<br />
This live version incorporates an extended ending, based on that of "All The Pigs, All Lined Up."<br />
<br />
===March Of The Pigs (''Beside You In Time'')===<br />
Like the version that appears on ''And All That Could Have Been,'' this live version incorporates the ending of "All The Pigs, All Lined Up." The major differences are that the introduction in this version is shorter and Reznor changes some of the vocal stylings.<br />
<br />
==Music Video==<br />
A music video was made for this song, directed by [[Peter Christopherson]] ("[[Wish (song)|Wish]]" and the ''[[Broken Movie]]'') and released in March of 1994. The video features the band performing the song live in front of a white wall backdrop. Reportedly, around a dozen takes were done, and the final video take was the one that "did not suck." It's filmed in one shot, a rare occurrence for music videos. This video was the last video to be played on MTV2's ''Increase the Beat'', on Memorial Day weekend 2002. At 269 BPM, it had the fastest tempo of the 400+ videos that were played that weekend.<br />
<br />
A previous version of the video was partially shot but abandoned, and is included on the ''[[Closure]]'' DVD. The band performs the song in a red cave-like set with water at their feet (some speculate that it could have been a stomach), and a troll-like midget appears.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
Being a staple NIN song with its high energy segued by two piano breakdowns, there is a live performance video of "March of the Pigs" on each of their live releases: ''Closure,'' ''And All That Could Have Been,'' and ''Beside You in Time.'' In the live set, the band extends the song by including an amped up version of "All The Pigs, All Lined Up" at the end of every performance.<br />
<br />
In most performances in the pre-''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'' eras, the songs starts with the same high pitched squeal it does in the performance video for the song. Since the start of the [[Live: With Teeth|With Teeth Tour]], the song now starts with a synth line that matches the one played behind the second set of measures for the song originally. (This section now completely omitted from the song, the guitars coming in completely along with they synth after the first drum run through.)<br />
<br />
Trent typically starts the song with the spoken lyrics "C'mon you pigs... march!".<br />
<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
Step right up march push<br />
Crawl right up on your knees<br />
Please greed feed (no time to hesitate)<br />
I want a little bit I want a piece of it I think he's losing it<br />
I want to watch it come down<br />
Don't like the look of it don't like the taste of it don't like the smell of it<br />
I want to watch it come down<br />
<br />
All the pigs are all lined up<br />
I give you all that you want<br />
Take the skin and peel it back<br />
Now doesn't that make you feel better?<br />
<br />
Shove it up inside surprise! Lies<br />
Stains like blood on your teeth<br />
Bite chew suck away the tender parts<br />
I want to break it up I want to smash it up I want to fuck it up<br />
I want to watch it come down<br />
Maybe afraid of it let's discredit it let's pick away at it<br />
I want to watch it come down<br />
<br />
All the pigs are all lined up<br />
I give you all that you want<br />
Take the skin and peel it back<br />
Now doesn't that make you feel better?<br />
The pigs have won tonight<br />
Now they can all sleep soundly<br />
And everything is all right<br />

}}'''"Hurt"''' is the final track on ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]].''<br />
<br />
===Meaning===<br />
The meaning of this song is entirely debatable. Some may interpret this as a depressing suicide note, while others may find it to describe someone finding a new lease on life.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that the lyric "A million miles away" is referenced in both the songs [[1,000,000]] and [[All The Love in the World]], and the suicidal themes surrounding the songs, especially "1,000,000," may indicate a connection.<br />
<br />
===Covers===<br />
Hurt has been covered by a variety of artists, such as [[Tori Amos]], [[wp:Matthew Good|Matthew Good]], [[Peter Murphy]], and [[wp:Sevendust|Sevendust]]. The song gained a new wave of popularity in 2002 when it was famously covered by [[wp:Johnny Cash|Johnny Cash]], at the recommendation of producer [[wp:Rick Rubin|Rick Rubin]]. This caused a lot of confusion for the audiences of Cash, who generally weren't familiar with the work of [[Nine Inch Nails]], often resulting in miscrediting the song to Cash. In Cash's version, the line "crown of shit" is changed to "crown of thorns," but is otherwise unchanged.<br />
<br />
===Song Credits===<br />
*Production and Mix: [[Trent Reznor]]<br />
*Drums: [[Chris Vrenna]]<br />

==Versions==<br />
===Hurt===<br />
On the original album version, the guitars contain distortion, adding a ragged aesthetic. The song suddenly climaxes towards the end, while the final lyrics are whispered over the noise. A drone follows, and ends the song and the record.<br />
<br />
===Hurt (Quiet)===<br />
The only real difference between this remix and the original is that the guitar sound is much cleaner and the climax towards the end is less drastic. There is also no static unlike the orignal version. This version appears only on the US version of ''Further Down the Spiral''.<br />
<br />
===Hurt (Live)===<br />
This live version is found on the UK edition of ''Further Down The Spiral.'' In this version the guitar is replaced with a piano.<br />
<br />
===Hurt (''And All That Could Have Been'')===<br />
The guitar sound is replaced by piano, and a vocal harmony is added to the chorus.<br />
<br />
===Hurt (''Beside You In Time'')===<br />
This live version starts with Reznor singing the vocal part and playing the piano melody solo on a keyboard. [[Jeordie White]] joins in on bass for the first chorus, and the rest of the band joins during the second chorus.<br />
<br />
==Music Video==<br />
The video is simply tour footage of Reznor singing behind a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrim_%28material%29 scrim]. This video was released after a fully produced music video was scrapped. Both the scrapped studio video and the final live video were directed by [[Simon Maxwell]]. The live video can be found in the Dualdisc edition of ''The Downward Spiral'' and also on ''Closure.'' Behind-the-scenes footage of the fully produced music video can be seen in the "Appendage" footage on the ''Closure'' DVD leak.<br />
<br />
==Live==<br />
"Hurt" is one of the most commonly played live songs throughout all eras. It is normally played towards the end of the main set, before set closers "[[The Hand That Feeds]]" and "[[Head Like a Hole]]".<br />
<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
I hurt myself today<br />
To see if I still feel<br />
I focus on the pain<br />
The only thing that's real<br />
The needle tears a hole<br />
The old familiar sting<br />
Try to kill it all away<br />
But I remember everything<br />
<br />
What have I become?<br />
My sweetest friend<br />
Everyone I know<br />
Goes away in the end<br />
You could have it all<br />
My empire of dirt<br />
I will let you down<br />
I will make you hurt<br />
<br />
I wear this crown of shit<br />
Upon my liar's chair<br />
Full of broken thoughts<br />
I cannot repair<br />
Beneath the stains of time<br />
The feeling disappears<br />
You are someone else<br />
I am still right here<br />
<br />
What have I become?<br />
My sweetest friend<br />
Everyone I know<br />
Goes away in the end<br />
You could have it all<br />
My empire of dirt<br />
I will let you down<br />
I will make you hurt<br />
If I could start again<br />
A million miles away<br />
I would keep myself<br />
I would find a way<br />

Plug me in and turn me on<br />
Oh everything is moving<br />

I need my treatment it's tomorrow they send me<br />
Singing "I am an American"<br />

Picture this if they could make the change<br />
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall<br />
Did you?<br />
