==Relating to NIN and Trent Reznor==*In support of his 1995 ''Outside'' album, he Bowie co-headlined the [[Dissonance]] tour with NIN, and both bands would collaborate on each other's repertoire in between sets. He also appears briefly in ''[[Closure]],'' chatting backstage as well as performing "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" with the band.*Reznor remixed Bowie's 1995 single "The Heart's Filthy Lesson" (Alt.

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 NINin 2017.*Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross recorded an instrumental cover of Bowie's "[[Life On Mars?]]" for Volume 03 of ''[[Watchmen (Music From The HBO Series)]]''.

[[Trent Reznor]] said in interviews that he played ''Low'' constantly during the recording of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' for inspiration.

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 Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' was being written.[http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=833]
