I know those performances and I wouldn't mind if he did piano-based stuff like I said, but I would also like that he wrote more rock or electronic stuff, not just him sitting behind a piano forever because he has to be "serious" and rock is "for young people". I think he could write now a new song like "Wish" even being happy, it doesn't have to be about hating himself and that stuff from the past.
I doubt we'll ever hear songs like "Wish" again. The closest we may ever get is "Know What You Are". Which isn't a bad thing. As much as I like the older, angry Trent Reznor, I like how both him and his music has evolved over the years and we never get songs that similar.
I like his current music too, but what I meant is that he doesn't have to write quiet stuff from now because he is happy and getting older. He doesn't have to make the same music that he made 20 years ago again, but 20 years ago he also wrote songs like "SICNH" and today he makes a song like "LITS" and nobody thinks that he is repeating himself and remaking his old stuff just because he has written a piano-based song again 20 years later.
That is why I say that he still could make rock and electronic and hard songs, he doesn't have to write only quiet songs with a piano or an acoustic guitar. Metallica still make heavy songs and they are in their mid 40s too, sober and I guess that happily rich and nobody wants them to play "softer" songs (yeah, I know that Metallica and NIN are very different things, it was just an example

).
I just want that Trent keeps making all kinds of music, not just quiet stuff to be cool for Pitchfork with a "bad copy of Radiohead" style like a lot of bands do these days. He still can kick ass and write a "superheavyelectronic" album and write a "Ghosts" relaxing album next, "happy" doesn't equal to "boring" (and I don't find his quiet stuff boring at all, I love "Ghosts", but I also want some kicking ass rock/electronic mindblowing stuff). I just wouldn't like very much to see him for the next 10 years playing music sitting in a chair, he can do that when he is in his 70s./Rant.
