Nine Inch Nails' big man Trent Reznor has announced his intention to split up the band.
The current line-up - which aside from Reznor includes Josh Freese, Aaron North, Jeordie White and Alessandro Cortini - will be done away with, and replaced with something thinner.
"At this point," meditated Reznor, "I want to switch things around a bit. I see other ways I can present Nine Inch Nails' material in concert. Something more challenging, something new. I don't want it to go stale."
Good man. The band looked to have played their last gig as a five-piece - completing an autumn world tour, inclusive of several well-received UK shows, at Honolulu in September.
Reznor continued:
"The idea of five guys making music for two hours, while it's the culmination of fine-tuning over a lot of years, has got to change. I want to whittle things down."
What price Aaron again for Icarus Line? Is it funny that he's been cut from NIN for reasons similar to those cited for his departure from the 'Line? I'm not sure...
DiScuss.
gosh
wasnt aware just how much of a supergroup they were atm
well
session slag supergroup
pretty weird...
...considering at reading they were one of the best and most inventive live bands i've ever seen.
yeh but they've been doing
that tour setup for aaaages. and its not particularly different from the Fragile and post Fragile tour setups except for the LED screen. personally i preferred the Bill Viola Fragile stuff to what they've got now.
Really?
I preferred the Bill when Tosh was on, and Burnside.
they
were wicked at reading. Fair play to Reznor for trying to keep it fresh. I guess the nature of their music allows for it though
Makes him look like a complete tool
For criticising Corgan for doing the exact same thing though, doesn't it?
except that...
if i remember rightly on Pretty hate machine it says something along the line of Nine Inch Nails is Trent Reznor whereas Pumpkins were about the 4 of them.
^
this. its always been his project.
i wonder if
he'll go all george pringle and just perform karaoke style with an laptop/ipod?
L... O...
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Aron north is one of the most entertaining live guitarists ive seen in along time i wanna see what both nin and he does in future
