Nine Inch Nails Tickets

Nine Inch Nails tickets Year Zero

In early April 2008, Nine Inch Nails posted several photos on Flickr showing the band, including Josh Freese and Robin Finck, in a recording studio. An April 21, 2008 post on Nine Inch Nails's website read "2 weeks!", echoing a similar message posted February 16, 2008 that ultimately resulted in the release of Ghosts I-IV, prompting news outlets to speculate that a follow-up to Year Zero would be announced on May 5, 2008. American radio stations began playing a new single containing Reznor's vocals and entitled "Discipline" on April 22, 2008; it was mastered by Alan Moulder less than 24 hours prior to this. The radio stations were allowed to provide their listeners with online links to the song, via NIN's website, for free download along with the multitrack files for remixing. Contained within the metadata for the MP3 download of Discipline is the message "Go to www.nin.com May 5". On May 2, a new song titled "Echoplex" was released through Nine Inch Nails's iLike profile on Facebook with the same message as the one included in "Discipline" in the song notes.

Via another post on the official NIN website, Reznor again openly criticized Universal Music Group for preventing him from launching an official interactive fan remix website. Universal declined to host the site just days before its scheduled launch, citing the potential "accusation", in Reznor's words, "that they are sponsoring the same technical violation of copyright they are suing for". Reznor wrote in response that Nine Inch Nails tickets was "challenged at the last second to find a way of bringing this idea to life without getting splashed by the urine as these media companies piss all over each other's feet". Despite these challenges, the remix website was launched on November 27, 2007.

Nine Inch Nails tickets has influenced many newer artists, which according to Reznor range from "generic imitations" dating from NIN's initial success to younger bands echoing Nine Inch Nails's style in a "truer, less imitative way". Following the release of The Downward Spiral, mainstream artists began to take notice of Nine Inch Nails' influence: David Bowie compared NIN's impact to that of The Velvet Underground. In 1997, Reznor appeared in Time magazine's list of the year's most influential people, and Spin magazine described him as "the most vital artist in music". The RIAA certified sales for 10.5 million units of Nine Inch Nails's albums in the United States, which accounts for roughly half of Nine Inch Nails's reported sales worldwide. Bob Ezrin, producer for Pink Floyd, Kiss, Alice Cooper, and Peter Gabriel, described Reznor in 2007 as a "true visionary" and advised aspiring artists to take note of Nine Inch Nails's no-compromise attitude. During a rare appearance at the Kerrang! Awards in London that year, Nine Inch Nails tickets accepted the Kerrang! Icon, honoring Nine Inch Nails's long-standing influence on rock music.

In 1990, NIN toured North America as an opening act for alternative rock artists such as Peter Murphy and The Jesus and Mary Chain. At some point, Reznor would begin smashing Nine Inch Nails's equipment while on stage; Rockbeat interviewer Mike Gitter attributed NIN's early success in front of rock oriented audiences to this aggressive attitude. Nine Inch Nails tickets then embarked on a world tour that continued through the first Lollapalooza festival in 1991, where Nine Inch Nails tickets "stole the show" from headliners Jane's Addiction despite numerous equipment problems. After a disastrous European reception opening for Guns N' Roses, NIN returned to America amid pressure from TVT to produce a more commercial follow-up to Pretty Hate Machine. In response, Reznor secretly began recording under various pseudonyms to avoid record company interference.
