Thank you TR and everyone involved with NIN... it has truly been a rollercoaster of a ride for the last almost, 20 years... I hope I get to see you wave goodbye... if not, all the best to come, hope to see you someplace, sometime in the future... cheers for now!!

Thanks again, for some of the greatest music I have ever heard, and being a BIG part of the soundtrack of my life.

enjoy the long break, you deserve it! but don't forget to play in germany before you fly to the bahamas

Trent, i thank you for a lifetime of great memories and experiances. Ever since i was a teenager at the age of 14 after discovering the downward spiral ive been a dedicated fan ever since. Back then i didnt quite appreciate the music as much as i do now just because it was my teen years and those are obviously always fucked up. For a time a strayed after the long delay in album relseases but after With Teeth came out i found NIN once again. Then i went to my first NIN show Live With Teeth in minneapolis freaking blew my mind and i found myself once again obsessed with NIN. Then Year Zero and the ARG game and your stuggle with the record industry made me that much more side in your cause and i tried any way that i could to support you when you went indie by buying your mp3's and going to your shows. I have to say, nothing ever will eclipse the LITS tour, i truely thank you for that in so many ways.

But moving on, i hope you enjoy your break from NIN. You have worked hard over the years and you deserve a break, but i think you should never let NIN go completly. I also look forward to your other creative goals and hope they are just as inspireing and fullfilling as NIN was for me. I just hope the youth of the world can wake up and get away from the digested crap they are getting feed with thats out today and see what true music is all about.

Thank You.

I'm also looking forward to the "tour", but it BETTER (and I MEAN it!) not just be an American tour (again!). That would totally piss me off. But as Trent says: "to book a last run of shows across the GLOBE..."

*screams*
NIN became my favorite band after Jane's Addiction broke up. Holy fuck. I will go wherever I need to go to see this!!!

And I'm not worried about no more NIN. I don't believe for a moment that he's going to stop making music, even if he does retire the NIN name, which he's talked about before. He has definitely earned a break!

i dont know what to say...

okay, i cried. i'll admit it.
if this is really the end, thank you for everything you have done not only for the music industry, but for my soul.

but, part of me, and maybe this is just the denial stage of grieving, can't see this being the end.

Trent, i just can't see you walking away from the music industry forever. it just... you've defined it as much as it has defined you, in a sense.
i don't want to accept that this is goodbye.
this is until next time... see you later... merry meet, and merry part, until we merry meet again.

come back to all your beloved NINnerds. please? :|

I'm so sad...

I dont think this is the end. But if it is, thank you Mr Reznor for providing the sountrack to the last 15 years of my life. You will be greatly missed.

(*sniffles*) Thank you Trent for 20 years of amazing music and concerts. Come hell or high water I will see you in 2009! But it would be easier if you just came to Detroit. We could all use a little happiness here .
Can't wait to see NIN again soon...

I predict the hysteria of this to far exceed that of the 'curtain call' update. Bring on the crying and the cutting now.

Every couple of years or so, they "disappear for awhile", only to re-emerge stronger and infinitely better. "Awhile" isn't usually synonymous with "forever". Reznor's dictionary seems to be a little different than Webster's. Just look at the word "soon". That's just my opinion though.

It'll all be OK. Bring on the tour dates!

Well i hope you dont disappear for to long... or forever. Because honestly the day you decide to call it quits.. is the end of music as we know it.
I literally only listen to NIN .. the only CD's i ever buy are NIN. What am i going to listen to now? Obviously i will always listen to NIN but there will never be anything new for me to listen to. I hate all the current bands. They dont even play real music.
Well i hope you do take a well deserved break you have been working your ass for many years. But i also hope we hear new music from you in the not so distant future.
We love you guys!

...perhaps more tracks under the name "Trent Reznor," I HOPE!!!

Oh, GO, that man. Bloody sincere, honest, balls to the wall move, Trent.

Best of fucking luck at ya. I'll be in to go to THAT show.

Oh whoa.... tonight's show in Auckland (which I'm going to in...um... 5 hours) is going to be fucking epic. Kiwis: Bring a video camera if you can, there may be Words Said By The Man about this.

I must see NIN again.

It would be fucking great if they play in Basel or Strasbourg, or both.
