May as well be. He mixed a NIN track and him and Trent are best buds.

So, Dave Grohl is in NIN too?

Josh Wink, too
Quiet Member
Pretty much. He's a NIN bro, too.

There's only one permanent member of NIN. His name is Michael.
Atticus, Alan, Robin, Rob and Ally could all be easily defined as "members" too due to their long, long history of contribution, but they aren't. Someone appearing on one song, or a few tracks of an album, is what we called a studio musician. They are not in the band, they are simply there to provide music or musical contribution to the ideas and songs. And Trent's friends are also not in the band simply because they're buddies.

Dre is TR's new business partner and corporate bro...and TR's business partners are the same as NIN members, so yea Dr Dre is as much a member of Nine Inch Nails as aaron north or josh eustis ever was

John Malm, Steve Gottlieb and Jimmy Iovine are all in NIN too, wow I never knew.

Does anyone else feel that Trent has sold out in a big way with the last few releases being exclusive to subscription-only services like Beats and Apple Music?
Ten years ago, he would have discreetly uploaded lossless files to the bay as seed0. Now, the new material is only available as a lossy stream we have to pay for. Am I missing something?

You don't have to pay for Connect on Apple Music.
I don't know if "sold out" even really means anything, I hate that it's format exclusive, but that's not really too different to Broken Movie being torrent only. The low quality is fucking awful, and the inability for many to access it sucks, but I don't think it's very different to being torrent only, so long as it remains free.

i always wondered if you talk like danger dolan.
@katara , i think saying "selling out" shows our age (if you're my age.)
All of the younger generation's music heroes and celebs seem to do shit like this.
I don't think kids say "sold out" anymore.

I was completely unaware. I guess I'm old. D:
It just feels weird that TR's done the last few releases this way. They're not even on the front page of nin.com. Music streaming may be the next 'big thing', but honestly, the way Aphex Twin's been chucking his demos out on Soundcloud is much more fan-friendly. Sure, putting music up on a popular medium is a good idea, but the average person is going to want to listen to the hits, not a bunch of instrumental demos.

Free music is free music. He didn't have to put it out at all, but he did and it was for free and that is great. If he thinks it's a good idea, then so be it.

i've thought about that too.
I mean, how many people are gonna sign up for this service to get access to instrumental demos?
WE are excited about them, but there can't be THAT many of us, you know?

That's why I think it's on Apple-music - to gather statistics and see what's popular among this rather small specific group of people that went there for Fragile instrumentals.
Throbbing Member
Oh, thank gawd. Maybe they *are* learning from the mistakes of past generations.
Can you explain that? What is more fan friendly about posting on soundcloud? I've done both, so I know what they're like. But I'm curious what you think makes one method much friendlier than the other.

The latter doesn't require an account at least? And doesn't require a third party program.
Active Member
Yes. Yes I do.
You know, if you're going to complain about shit, you could at least try to make some SENSE.

The sun is a massive body within our solar system...and massive bodies in our solar system are the same as planets, so yeah the sun is as much a planet as Uranus.
Sorry, I was going to try to make this NIN related somehow. Well...sun....Sunspots. I love that song. The ending hits a bit too close to home for my liking though.
Throbbing Member
Oh, and don’t forget Gene Simmons. We can’t leave him out. According to Gene his bobblehead doll stood on the mix console when Trent was recording TDS. So that officially makes Gene in nin.Dre is TR's new business partner and corporate bro...and TR's business partners are the same as NIN members, so yea Dr Dre is as much a member of Nine Inch Nails as aaron north or josh eustis ever was

John used to play the freaking computer. The pocket calculator computer. ROFL

I have a better one: John was the operator with his pocket calculator

Marilyn Manson was somehow actually Trent Reznor this whole time. So he's in NIN. Actually, Nine Inch Nails is Marilyn Manson.
Active Member
I think, therefore I am in Nine Inch Nails.

Something something wrote Black Bomb.
Am I doing it right?

I guess NIN was in Kennedy Montgomery.
Whoops, other way around.

This is as random as it gets:
To me, my favourite album cover art of a Nine Inch Nails album is The Slip. Why, it may even be my all-time favourite album cover. It just feels so right and recognizable and brilliant and simple at the same time. I don't really know, I just really love it!
