Says he did here
Checking out that "Fairweather Johnson" album @RhettButler supposed nin could play and i have a question: do you really trust Trent's vocal abilities these days to pull that off?

What else did Eugene Goreshter from Autolux provide on HM besides the bass work on In Two?
Has anyone else wondered whether the first "Version" of Starfuckers, Inc. (the Sherwood one) samples Cerrone's "Rocket in the Pocket (Live)"?
It's a very commonly sampled/scratched song, particularly the stabs that go along with the word "pocket" at around the 30-second mark:
I was just listening to the Starfuckers remix and suddenly recognized the Cerrone song as where the main snare sound comes from (particularly audible around the 3:10 mark).
Nine Inch Nails technically has sampled the song before, albeit through a middleman (Sweet Tee's "Let the Jingle Bells Rock" in "Kinda I Want To"). The sample in Starfuckers though would be more similar to Linkin Park's sample in their "In The End" remix.
Does anyone else hear it?
(Relatedly, I feel like there should be a catch-all sample-finding thread, assuming there isn't one already...)
Someone on Reddit said that Kraw is no longer working with NIN and left after Add Violence was completed. Anyone know if this is true, and if so, who is handling artwork for NIN now?
I honestly don't see why they need one person to be an 'art director'. I'm happy with them using a variety of artists to keep things interesting
I agree, it's TR that drives the aesthetic. My main thought was that if Kraw is no longer working as with NIN, then it could explain the delay in the Definitive Editions of With Teeth, Year Zero and The Slip. Kraw was the one handling the initial round of those, and was credited in press about it.
How much direction does the reissue art really need, though? Aside from the bonus booklets, the packaging is supposed to perfectly replicate the original sleeves and packaging.
I guess someone does need to oversee that to ensure it actually does, though. I just feel like that shouldn't be a sticking point for a delay that's been over a year (assuming they were on track to be put up for sale last summer).
Does anyone have the interview where Trent says the band was named Nine Inch Nails because he liked the abbreviation, and it has no deeper or symbolic meaning?
I have a few questions.
1. I remember reading a article a few years ago about a planned music video for Terrible Lie. Why was the video scrapped if anyone know and what would have been the concept of it?
2. Was there any plans for a video for Last?
3. Is there any unreleased material or demos floating around anywhere from the Broken era?
Thanks!
Does anyone have an interview/article where Trent talks about the other early names for the band, such as "Crown of Thorns"?
"Crown of Thorns" is mentioned in this article, but it's not an interview: http://www.thevinyldistrict.com/clev...-trent-reznor/
Does anyone have "The New Alternatives" magazine featuring NIN?
According to this, it has an interview with Trent mentioning "Crown of Thorns": https://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...znor-132159974
Edit: Found it myself.

Apparently there's a problem with theninhotline's database, so the link is dead and google forgot it.
Does anyone have an interview where Trent explains that the names "Crown of Thorns" and "Nine Inch Nails" have absolutely no connection, and how it's also just a coincidence that Ringfinger contains the lines: "Well you just leave me nailed here / Hanging like Jesus on this cross"?hj: how about if we start this! start me with the origin of the act's name, because weren't the original demo tapes under the crown of thorns?
tr: yeah, that was one of the original ideas, but i didn't feel 100% great about it, but we needed something at the time to send the tapes out with so we used that. but it was quickly pointed out that somebody else was named that. nobody major label, but the here today gone tomorrow thing. which was just as well, because i didn't feel great about it. nine inch nails just popped into my head one day...

Yeah, someone needs to oversee the art direction on these, even if it's just creating an extra booklet and overseeing the recreation of the artwork. I'm just speculating that Kraw not being involved might be a reason for the delay. He did say that he wasn't working with NIN on this project, so that leaves open the possibility that he is still working on these reissues. But the delays could be entirely unrelated. Rob handled all the artwork for these, and wasn't involved in the previous albums that have been reissued, so there's that element. It doesn't appear that he left on bad terms, I'm sure he would have turned over all files to NIN's management so that someone else could take over.
LONG SHOT for anyone who knows anything about the 2 Congress Theater shows in Chicago, 5/6 & 5/7 of 2005, or that whole tour leg...
Anyone remember or know if Trent just wore this shirt on the first night or both nights
OR
if he actually wore it on other dates during that tour leg?
