Nine Inch Nails To Stop Touring?

2009-06-17 by IsItLuck? EMERITUS | 46 Comments
This weekend at Bonnaroo, Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor declared that it would be the band's last ever show in the United States, and hinted that the forthcoming European and Asian tours would be their last.

"It just dawned on me that this is our last show ever in the United States," Reznor said during his band's set.

"Don't be sad. I'll keep going. But I think I'm going to lose my ... mind if I keep doing this, and I have to stop."

As if musicians ever keep their promises. Look at Tom Delonge one year ago.

It was a North American tour, not US.

This must be why my brother drove 28 hours to see them a few weeks ago. He should've invited me, grr.

I'm glad I saw them at this tour. They played a bunch of songs I didn't expect, a lot of which are on that list, but some aren't like I Do Not Want This, Heresy, Somewhat Damaged, and The Downward Spiral title track. The only thing I really could have asked for would be more from their newer albums (they only played 3 songs newer than 1999, which isn't a bad thing really but there were a few songs I was hoping for) and We're In This Together cause that song rules, but the show still ruled. The Becoming in particular was great.

Also, yeah, their tour manager told me that it was expected to be their last tour ever. Trent has also said that he wants to focus on other things.

Can't really blame him. I hope he continues putting out records though - preferably free ones.

Thats old news now. The tours name was called "Wave Goodbye" for the love of Biff. Tell you the truth, saw em earlier in the month with Janes Addiction and they were (dare I say it?) absurdly boring. I LOVE nin, and have for quite some time. Ive seen em two times previous to this show, and both have been wonderful shows. It was cool Trents been pulling out obscure stuff, but he was bored, uninspired, and hes acquired some sort of David Lee Roth kick in his performances. The writings on the wall. This definitely wont be the last tour forever, but the next time will have to be when hes ready for it. Hes gonna pull a Sade and break out every 8 or 9 years.

And BTW, Janes Addiction was incredible that night. I wasnt comparing them or anything like that, but Janes had the audience in Philly in their hands. Anyway, sorry about the long comment.

Trent has stated that he wants to take a hiatus from NIN for a little while, so this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Who knows whether he'll feel differently in the future or not.

I probably would have never gotten an opportunity to see him live anyway. I just hope he keeps making music.

I feel a little sorry for Illan Rubin, the guy who joined last year as drummer, I mean he's joined just in time for NIN to stop

This news is so old btw

I said that to my band last night bodiesinflight....Poor guy just got in and probably was treated quite well from what he has mentioned. I guess it was better than never getting a chance to do it at all.

I saw Reznor in his prime so I don't really care about this. New songs were 100% shit.

This show was phenomenal.
Couldn't have asked for a better setlist given that I really don't like post-fragile NIN (with the exception of a few songs).
I was really glad that they gave the fragile justice on this tour. The last two times I saw them they only played the frail and the wretched, which made me think that trent hated the album.
It was a very emotional show for the audience and for trent.
Dillinger escape plan came out and broke shit. FTW!

Caught them at DTE this past month for their last show in Michigan because I had never seen them before.

Disappointing. He opened for Jane's Addiction, who sucked that night or something. (WTF?)
He played too early (We missed Tom Morello AND the first few NIN songs and we only got there at 7:30)
And no encore.

Sad face.

eh, a nice long break'll be good for him, and hopefully he'll return in 15 years and be kickass as an older musician
