Anyone know the reason the music was replaced in the first place?

Probably licensing complications. Warner Brothers didn't originally want to release the Director's Cut, because their home video division wouldn't release MPAA unrated content at the time. Instead it was Trimark, under their home video imprint Vidmark, who released the DC instead. So maybe the sync license for that track was invalidated on home video releases, and Warner's didn't bother to reinstate it when they first reissued the movie themselves. (I do seem to remember the deluxe double VHS version may have included the music video as a bonus feature? With Stone's spoken introduction to go with it?)
As another sidebar, I just checked my collection and I only have a Warner's-released DVD version of the Theatrical cut without "Burn" (ie. the worst possible version)... so I guess I feel okay about buying it again on Blu-Ray! The tribal drumming track they used in that spot just doesn't work as well as that thunderous digitally distorted beat from "Burn" does.

That Vidmark double VHS Directors Cut was the only place to find the Burn music video for a while, which is the only reason I still have it.
Richard Patrick is on the latest episode of the Peer Pleasure Podcast. Mostly talking about Filter but they talk about NIN a little bit as well.
Warframe 1999 trailer reveal, featuring track from Nine Inch Nails' 1999 album, The Fragile (Into The Void).
Too many Nine in that sentence. Super meta.

wow if that's indicative of the score that's great.
Not much of NIN stories in there, except for Trent's legal battle in a middle of the tour.
His GNR stories, however, add up a little bit to all the jokes and photoshops NIN did around that time.
One of the ending quests in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC is called Spoiler: Somewhat Damaged. The main game already had one called 'The Space In Between' (edit: also one called 'Tapeworm')

I was on the Interscope site checking out the details of that Interscope Vinyl Collective and noticed that they are selling "vintage" shirts. Get a load of this shit:

If people are buying old NIN shirts for these kind of prices, I've got like 30k just sitting in my garage. Unreal.
The t-shirt market is crazy but probably not that crazy. I sold 10 t-shrits of mine from the early to mid 90's that were for the most part trashed. I think i sold them like early 2020. I'm talking no sleeves and being held together by safety pins, some with holes, some with paint, some so faded you could barely make out what it was. I made a little over 1K on all of it. Some sold for more and some for less. The most i got was for an Akira t-shirt, you could barely see the images anymore. I got almost $400 for it!
You think this is bad? How about this Year Zero CD by Nine Inch Papa Roaches?

22 artists who had explicit music videos that were banned
No stranger to controversy, Trent Reznor has unleashed some dark videos on the world, and “Closer” (1994) is his most infamous. It features crawling bugs, taxidermy, brief nudity, bondage, a “crucified” monkey, a dead “beating” heart, and a pig’s head on a rotating rod. For the censored cut (with the word “fuck” edited out), a few offending images were replaced with a “Scene Missing” sign, the nudity was cropped, and only the monkey’s face was seen. Nine Inch Nails’ 1992 black-and-white video for “Happiness In Slavery,” meanwhile, remains effectively shocking today. A man enters a dark room, strips naked, then gets strapped to a mechanical table. Wires and a mechanical arm, followed by metal grinders, tear, rip, and bore into his skin, which results in lots of gushing blood. But the man gets sexual satisfaction from the entire act of self-destruction, and his entire body is eventually ground into meat to fertilize a garden below. Gruesomeness aside, it’s the full frontal nude close-ups that ensured the clip would be banned pretty much everywhere.

“I think they’re highly underrated in terms of the zeitgeist,” Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails said in a phone interview. “Devo challenged the idea of what a rock band could be. It felt like rock was mutating. It made me realize, ‘Oh, there aren’t any rules. You know, you can do anything.’”
Brand new (I think) remix of Closer that I've never heard before in the 2nd episode of The Fall of The House of Usher on Netflix. Sounded like it was made specifically for the episode.
If you've seen the episode you know how fucking awesome the scene was that accompanied the remix.
