Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has issued the following update:

"Happy holidays everyone and thank you for an exceptional year! Sorry I haven't been around much lately, I've been working on not working for a couple of months, which for me is hard work. 2010 has a number of things planned including new material from nine inch nails and something else that isn't nine inch nails. I am in a state of rediscovery and reinvention that feels unfamiliar, unsure and exactly what I need."

"In the meantime, here are some miscellaneous performances from 2009."

"Last" live from on stage in Holmdel NJ 6.06.09:

"The Way Out Is Through" live from on stage in Holmdel NJ 6.06.09:

"Somewhat Damaged" live from on stage at Roskilde Festival 7.03.09:

"I'm Afraid of Americans" live from on stage in Toronto 6.02.09:

What's Next?

I like the way Reznor is using the net as a way to communicate, instead of doing the Dave Mustaine "me me me and more me" thing. "this is whats up, plus here´s a few live clips".
Good stuff, Trent (without sarcam for once)

Btw, does anyone care is Obama is a muslim? J Edgar Hoover was a crossdresser. So what. None of my business

Diamond Oz - my understanding is that Trent was putting NIN on the "back burner" for some time but, I never got the impression it was over. I am just surprised that it was only less than a year. BlindGreed1 keeps up with this stuff pretty good, maybe he can shed some insight to it.

I'm positive Reznor said he was done with NIN... guess he couldn't go without a positive influx of easy money -_- who can blame him though? Glad he's back.

And post 1- why? I don't understand the relevance or the significance.

From what I recall, he said NIN was done touring America, and that was it. I don't recall him retiring NIN, but I could be wrong.

Also, when the hell did Trent Reznor cut his hair? He looks strange with short hair, lol.

Bah, I'm probably wrong. He definitely said he was done touring the US though. But what good is an album release without a subsequent tour? Especially if he's allowing downloads like the previous albums... I suppose he's not the most conventional musician. I'm pretty sure he was shaved when I saw 'em in '06... he had the short hair this past summer tour with JA. For the record, their farewell tour was kind of weak...

I think Trent´s message was a bit misunderstood. The news bit which ran here at MU suggested that NIN was no more, but actually they (apparently) only stopped touring. For now. Well, whatever

His messages definitely suggested some sort of hiatus - something more than 2 months off - especially with his "farewell" tour dates, etc. But I knew he'd be back anyway. If not for the money, then just because Trent's a creative person who needs an outlet for that creativity. Just didn't expect to hear about new NIN material so soon.

^10 db sums it up pretty well. We knew he'd be back in some way, tour or no tour (although it does seem inevitable), just wasn't expecting such a swift return.

n0thinghead, that´s right mate.
Trent didn´t open his Pro Tools for a month, so he decided to inform us all about it.
