Default NIN Break Up

Okay so the wording of this statement has lead to a lot of confusion as to whether this is a definite NIN-is-over thing or not, but nonetheless:

Quote:
Towards the beginning of my career in Nine Inch Nails, our biggest break came in the form of an invitation to perform a series of shows with Jane's Addiction. These performances essentially created and defined the term "alternative" rock in the US, created an ongoing festival franchise that is still thriving (Lollapalooza), set the stage for Nirvana to shift popular taste a few months later, and were really fucking FUN to play and attend - truly the best times I've had. The shows were epic. So epic, they propelled NIN to the "next level" (whatever that means), but caused Jane's to implode.

The band broke up at the end of that tour.Fast forward to the present. Corporate rock STILL sucks. A friend tells me they saw the original Jane's lineup play a tiny show in LA that was unbelievable. I break out my Jane's records and am amazed by how vital they sound. These guys were the real deal and in this current climate mostly dominated by poseurs and pussies it was refreshing to hear something that sounded dangerous, volatile, beautiful and SINCERE.Emails were sent, phone calls were made, dinner was arranged, ideas were discussed and the next thing I know we're in the studio experimenting. We laugh, we get to know each other, we cry, we yell, we almost quit, we record LOTS of guitar solos, we discuss, we actually begin to all communicate, we yell some more, we become FRIENDS, we laugh again and we do some great things. I get to see first hand why they broke up all those years ago but I also get the chance to see four distinct personalities that become an INCREDIBLE band when they're in the same room.In NIN world, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of our first releases. I've been thinking for some time now it's time to make NIN disappear for a while.

Last year's "Lights in the Sky" tour was something I'm quite proud of and seems like the culmination of what I could pull off in terms of an elaborate production. It was also quite difficult to pull off technically and physically night after night and left us all a bit dazed. After some thought, we decided to book a last run of shows across the globe this year. The approach to these shows is quite different from last year - much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted. Fun for us and a different way for you to see us and wave goodbye. I reached out to Jane's to see if they'd want to join us across the US and we all felt it could be a great thing. Will it work? Will it resonate in the marketplace? Who knows. Is there big record label marketing dollars to convince you to attend? Nope.Does it feel right to us and does it seem like it will be fun for us and you? Yes it does.Look for tour dates soon and I hope to see you out there.

Trent

i see what you're saying about how this could seem like NIN is done, but honestly, given how Trent has been handling him self this last year or two i can't see that being the case. bad choice of words, maybe?

I read it as he's taking some time off and will be out of the spotlight for awhile, and the "last run of shows" just relates to the latest tour. I can see how one would read it differently, and maybe that's right... but that's not how I interpreted it at all.

isn't it like pumpkins breaking up, one wonders. The man who by himself is the band calls its quits, and will continue making watered down crap that sounds quite a lot like his previous band?

no, it's not anything like that because NIN has always been acknowledged as essentially a solo project. but whatever, guy.

Surely you jest.

I'm glad I caught them at the last Voodoo Fest. Most fun I've ever had at a show. But I really hope they come around again this year. And I hope this is merely a hiatus for Trent.

Reznor has taken long sabbaticals before... and he's been working pretty much non-stop for the last few years. My guess is this is just a break.

i don't understand why people were so quick to shit all over The Slip.

I think it's really, really great. And for me, it has seemed to have slightly more staying power than Year Zero. It's so tight and awesome. No wasted time anywhere.

i'd agree that The Slip was the weakest of the past three albums, but it did have some good tracks on it. it just doesn't seem to have the same replay value.
