[[image:BowieBowie1.jpg|thumb|David Bowie]]'''David Bowie''' (born David Robert Jones, January 8, 1947–January 10, 2016) was an influential musician and actor, actively creating music from the 1960s until his death in 2016. He traversed through many genres and styles, and oftentimes has influenced, worked with, and coincided with [[Nine Inch Nails]].
==Inspiration and samples==[[Trent 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 half-song, half-instrumental approach of ' 'Low'' was also a reference point as ''[[The two bear a striking resemblanceFragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' was being written.[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article. <br><br>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]]. <br><br>'' A reversed 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]
Bowie also possibly drew some influence from Nine Inch Nails. A beat similar to that of "[[Closer]]" was used in Bowie's 1997 track "Seven Years In Tibet". The beat that was sampled for "Closer" had been taken from "Nightclubbing" by Iggy Pop, a track that was co-written and produced by Bowie. Taking a cue from photographer Joel-Peter Witkin, the music video for "Closer" contains a scene of a bald woman wearing a black mask with a crucified Jesus on it. Though the influence could have come directly from Witkin instead of "Closer", a similar mask is worn by Gail Ann Dorsey in Bowie's 1997 video for "Dead Man Walking".
==Nine Inch Nails Remixes==
*Reznor remixed Bowie's 1995 single "The Heart's Filthy Lesson" (Alt. Mix).
*Nine Inch Nails (Reznor, [[Charlie Clouser]], [[Keith Hillebrandt]], [[Dave Ogilvie]], [[Danny Lohner]]) made 5 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.
*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.
