Mix).*Nine Inch Nails (Reznor, [[Charlie Clouser]], [[Keith Hillebrandt]], [[Dave Ogilvie]], [[Danny Lohner]]) made five remixes for Bowie's 1997 single ''[[I'm Afraid of Americans]]'' (V1, V2, V3, V4, V6). Reznor starred in the music video as a psychopathic stalker, taking the role of "Johnny" from the song.*Reznor revealed during a fan Q&A session conducted in 2000[http://www.nin-pages.de/chat_spin_21_11_00.htm] that he "was offered to do some work on [Bowie's] last record, but [he] couldn't." This could be referring to ''Earthling'' or ''Hours...'', depending on if Reznor meant the previous or the newest album at that time.*A special "Farewell Mix" of "[[I Can't Give Everything Away]]" was created by Reznor and [[Atticus Ross]], which was then performed live by NIN in 2017.*Reznor and Ross recorded an instrumental cover of Bowie's "[[Life On Mars?]]" for Volume 03 of ''[[Watchmen (Music From The HBO Series)]]''.*Reznor and Ross covered "[[Fantastic Voyage]]" and "[[Fashion]]" (with [[Mariqueen Maandig]] on "Fashion") for [[2021/01/09_Los_Angeles,_CA|A Bowie Celebration: Just For One Day!]] in 2021. ==Inspiration and samples==Reznor said in interviews that he played ''Low'' constantly during the recording of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' for inspiration. Incidentally, Reznor has been accused of using the main melody from Bowie's 1980 instrumental single "Crystal Japan" in Nine Inch Nails' 1994 track "[[A Warm Place]]." Reznor explained the similarity in an interview.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0RQCT69y5s&feature=player_embedded] The two bear half-song, half-instrumental approach of ''Low'' was also a striking resemblancereference point as ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' was being written.[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=833]

The line "falls waking wanking to the floor" from Bowie's 1973 song "Time" was featured in several remixes of "[[Mr. Self Destruct]]" from ''[[Further Down the Spiral]].''A reversed [[samples|sample]] from the end of Bowie's "It's No Game" runs through the background of "[[Pinion]]".[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=327] The lyrics to "[[We're In This Together (song)|We're In This Together]]" may be inspired by Bowie's song "Heroes".
