Changes

'''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. Nine Inch Nails was formed in Cleveland, Ohio circa 1988 and have so far released five full-length studio albums, as well as many EPs, remix albums, and live releases. 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 the latest full-length release, ''[[Year Zero]]'', the lyrical focus has shifted somewhat. 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 which were used on the [[Self DestructWith Teeth Arena Tour]], [[FragilitySelf Destruct]] and [[With TeethFragility]] tours, and often culminate with the destruction of musical instruments.
