It’s hard to believe that NIN got its start over 30 years ago. In 1988, NIN was asked to open for [[Skinny Puppy]] on the east coast leg of the [[VIVIsectVI Tour|“Vivisect VI” tour]]. We did that tour driving up and down the coast crammed into Trent’s hatchback. It was the most exciting thing ever. I was 21 years old and had no idea what was to come.
One of my fondest memories was when we were living in the [[Le Pig|Sharon Tate house ]] while making ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]''. We always worked hard, even though it never really felt like work. We knew something special was happening…You could just feel it. But I don’t think anyone could have predicted ''The Downward Spiral''’s success and its longevity. We had the greatest live show on Earth, capped by our now legendary, mud-soaked [[1994/08/13_Saugerties,_NY|Woodstock show]] in 1994 that we ultimately won a Grammy for.
My years with Trent and NIN are some of the best of my life, and I continue to treasure those memories. And now, those memories can live on in the Rock and Roll HOF. Thank you to every single fan…past, present, and future that continue to discover NIN. I personally appreciate all the fan support not only during my time in NIN, but for my career afterward as well. I am eternally grateful for everything we accomplished with NIN.</p>
I went to the Nine Inch Nails show at the Forum in Los Angeles—the one together with [[David Bowie]]—and Trent held the center of that room just by being a kind of dark spot hunched behind the mic. I’d seen the same thing accomplished in different ways by T. Rex at Wembley, Nirvana at the Pyramid Club, and Bob Dylan in ’65. This is the mark of the master artist—simply to connect.
The controversial and brilliant French novelist Michel Houellebecq when asked the secret to his success said, “It’s easy, just tell the truth.” Listening to Nine Inch Nails feels like hearing the truth, so it gets you a little bit closer to God. It is my honor to assist in inducting Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.</blockquote>[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/iggy-pop-nine-inch-nails-2020-rock-hall-induction-speech-1086579/]</blockquote>
==Acceptance speech by Trent Reznor==
A special thank you to my wife [[Mariqueen Maandig|Mariqueen]] and my kids, who keep me humble and make everything worthwhile. And for the Nine Inch Nails fans out there, you guys are the best. We’ve wound up in some weird places together, and you’re an intense bunch that can drive me out of my mind — but you’re the best.
This journey’s far from over, if I have any say in it, so let’s stop fucking around, patting ourselves on the back, and get to it. Hope to see you all in the flesh soon. Thank you.</blockquote>[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/trent-reznor-nine-inch-nails-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-speech-1086568/]</blockquote>

'''David Fincher''': "There are best hits, you know, and then there's a body of work. It's a sense of a progression through the not knowing and the finding the vulnerability of that and the triumph of it. And it's rare."
==2022 Fan Day==
On September 23, 2022, a special Nine Inch Nails Fan Day was held. The official info from the Rock Hall website[https://www.rockhall.com/events/nine-inch-nails-fan-day] stated:
<blockquote>Ahead of Nine Inch Nails’ [[2022/09/24_Cleveland,_OH|one-night-only performance]] at Blossom Music Center, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will host Nine Inch Nails Fan Day on Friday, September 23. The day will be highlighted by a 3 p.m. Rock Hall exclusive simulcast Q&A with 2020 Inductee Nine Inch Nails. Fans can view this simulcast for free on the Rock Hall’s Union Home Mortgage Plaza. A limited number of invites to view the Q&A in-person will be offered to members of Nine Inch Nails’ Discord community. Fans who can’t make it to Cleveland can subscribe to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame YouTube channel or visit NIN social media channels to view the livestream as it happens or to watch later. Additionally, a rebroadcast of the interview will premiere on SiriusXM’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Channel 310 at a later date.
Throughout the day, fans can:
*view NIN artifacts and video on display in the Museum
*watch a “From the Vault” screening of the band’s 2020 Induction
*stop by the interactive exhibit, The Garage, to perform NIN songs with the Rock Hall house band
*purchase unique NIN and Rock Hall merchandise
*hear the band’s iconic music played in heavy rotation at the Museum and on the Rock Boxes located along East 9th Street
*take a selfie in front of our Long Live Rock art installation, which will be themed to celebrate NIN</blockquote>
The Q&A session was hosted by Lizzy Goodman, and included all band members who were inducted in 2020, as well as Richard Patrick and Charlie Clouser.
The NIN performance the following night also featured Vrenna, Lohner, Patrick and Clouser for the final six songs. This reunion of past band members was originally planned for NIN's Rock Hall induction ceremony, which was altered by the COVID pandemic.[https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2022/10/richard-patrick-talks-nine-inch-nails-reunion-whats-next-for-filter.html]
