Trent Reznor says that the current tour that Nine Inch Nails is on will be the last set of live performances for the band for the near future. When the tour is over, Trent says that he basically doesn’t know when they’ll get back on the road. So basically, suck it up while you can.

He said on NIN’s official site, “This was an amazing tour and production – certainly the best thing I’ve ever been involved with and likely the final tour for Nine Inch Nails on this scale. The shows we have announced in 2009, and any more that may be announced, will be a completely different approach with some different personnel, and will likely be the last for the foreseeable future.”

Well doesn’t that just suck? I never got to see them live, though, but I wouldn’t mind doing so. Has anyone listened to The Slip yet? If so, what did you think of it?

Trent Reznor was talking about the retail version of N.I.N.’s album, Ghosts, and said that he found the first video for “God Given”.

He says, “Also, I was rummaging through the archives and found the first part of the “God Given” video we never finished. Enjoy!”

Gotta love it.

Via Blabbermouth, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor is ticked off about the pricing of his new album, Year Zero:

On the NIN official website, he has posted this:

“As the climate grows more and more desperate for record labels, their answer to their mostly self-inflicted wounds seems to be to screw the consumer over even more. A couple of examples that quickly come to mind:

* The ABSURD retail pricing of ‘Year Zero’ in Australia. Shame on you, UMG. ‘Year Zero’ is selling for $34.99 Australian dollars ($29.10 US). No wonder people steal music. AVRIL LAVIGNE’s record in the same store was $21.99 ($18.21 US).

“By the way, when I asked a label rep about this his response was: ‘It’s because we know you have a real core audience that will pay whatever it costs when you put something out — you know, true fans. It’s the pop stuff we have to discount to get people to buy.’ So… I guess as a reward for being a ‘true fan’ you get ripped off.

Read the entire story here.

I had to add my two cents about this. I feel that it is a good thing when the actual artist sees what the music industry is doing to the consumer. This is crazy…..so as a reward for being a fan, you get screwed….And Avril Lavigne’s crap is discounted? Wha?

Here is Trent Reznor’s interview from Revolver Magazine….Enjoy!

Fresh off the release of his band’s latest album Year Zero, Trent Reznor, lead singer of Nine Inch Nails, discusses the celebrity culture in Los Angeles, the idea of making pop records and his life after addiction in the June issue of Revolver (on stands now).

On the L.A. celebrity scene: “I didn’t go to L.A. for the culture, I moved there to be around my peers. You don’t see me out, or see pictures of me shopping. I’m repulsed by it, to be quite frank.”

On the option of making pop records: “When the day comes that I have to hire the flavor of the day to write my records, stick a fork in me.”

On life after addiction: “When you’re an addict, you feel like your problems are the biggest problems in the world. I’m not saying I can change the world, but now I feel like it’s my duty as a human to try and do something.”

Nine Inch Nails happens to be one of my faves, so I enjoyed this piece, too.
