I've seen NIN a few times. All times were amazingly amazing, but Trent will age eventually.

If I were him, I'd probably move to an island with tons of security and retire in peace.

Some time in the future I am sure that Trent will stop making music and he will retire, however that time is not now. Trent stated ( in a previous interview ) that he needs to take maybe a year or two off from touring because working on tour constantly started to make him feel he was overworked. He needs to enjoy music because music is one of those things that has replaced his drug addiction ( "I want to do whatever feels good" ).

Trent Stated ( in a previous interview ) that he may produce an album once every four months again in the future but not any time soon. Trent also stated that he cannot stop making music, and that he would love to just sit in a studio and write songs all day, but he does not have the time with his growing agenda and his tour schedule.

Be patient my fellow fans, Trent will be back and he is not going anywhere for a long time.

Trent deserves to settle down and enjoy life with his soon-to-be wife after all he's accomplished these last 20 years.


At LEAST a break.

If NIN comes back, I won't protest. But if he decides it's over I'm understanding.


However as it's been said again and again I HIGHLY doubt this is the last we'll hear from Trent. NIN or not he'll be around.

I think the man just needs a break. He's getting married, the man needs time to start a family. He might still get back to it after a while, but even if he doesn't, we have a buttload of stuff to enjoy, and the precious memories of these last few years of righteous, sober, buff Trent.

It is kind of cruel that he would be so forward about it, though. I mean, really, "Wave Goodbye"? Ouch.

I can't help but get teary eyed seeing the 1989-2009. Reminds me of a tombstone. And now Trent is getting married, he's trying to get NIN to every part of the world, it makes sense that this could be a finale. I fucking hate typing this.

This seeming end to NIN for now does kinda make me ponder some stuff...

I often wondered if Trent/NIN would eventually become like those REALLY old guys that you see singing in telethons on PBS when you visited your grandma as a kid. They sing some song from the 50's that you are vaguely aware of because you think you heard it on an AM radio station one time, and of course your grandma says "They were big stars back in my day. And that was when songs were good, not like this stuff you kids listen to today!"



Or am I the only one who has had that experience? Ha.

Is that the ultimate fate of TR? I choose to believe that his fate is a little more like that of Johnny Cash. I think young TR always had something valid to say musically, so it stands to reason that older TR will have a resurgence.

In either course, I'm going to see the band for possibly the last time Saturday. I'll always cherish the CD's and DVD's - and the shows I went to.

Maybe it won't be the end. I hope.

where's all this "trent is getting married" stuff coming from? how the hell did i miss that one?

if you just take a step back for a second, this all makes a lot of sense.
its been 20 years since pretty hate machine, and the slip was such a giant step forward for the record industry. it would be very smart for reznor to retire from NIN for good.
as sad as it is, do you really want nine inch nails to turn into another rolling stones?
i would love to see trent pull a danny elfman and do film scores, or produce more albums like niggy tardust.

great artists constantly push themselves, and maybe nine inch nails is holding trent back from creating something new, or, dare i say... better?

I totally agree dude.It's time for NIN to go bye bye.Trents getting married soon.He's not the SAME person he was 5,10,20 years ago.He's not a miserable,pissed off with the world junkie/addict.He's happy. It's time for trent to invent a new band.And take his music in a different direction.Theres a time for everything under the sun-Ecclesiastes 3:1.
A time to make NIN disappear-die-.

Trent's not going away. There's a YouTube interview from December 2008 where he explains that after this tour they'll be going away for a while, but when asked what he's going away to be doing, he says he has a number of things he wants to get finished which he's has on the back-burner, including the Year Zero TV show. He then says he'll maybe get started on another record.

I doubt between now and then he's changed his mind and decided to retire.

"Getting things finished" (even when they involve music) != being Nine Inch Nails. Not necessarily, in any case.

(On an unrelated note, can I just say that the "1989-2009" image is creepy as fuck when you were born then?)

it's not goodbye, it's see ya later. Will be patiently waiting for the next chapter!

I really feel like this is the end. Feels sad. That "1989-2009" at the end of the tour page seems so final. I hope not, I would like to see and experience NIN live again one day. Maybe it's like an author finishing writing one book, closes it, then starts working on another book. In the meantime, all NIN personnel (not just the guys on stage, but all the "behind the scenes" people as well), take care, have fun on this world tour, travel safely.

Lol what would you do if Muse split up? ;o

And by the way, I find this thread a bit overdramatic. I believe we'll get a new album in a few years.

you got me there...

Or, maybe he'll just leave NIN to rest for a while and take some time out. The guys been making and playing music for 20 years flat.
This isn't about us, it's about him. He obviously wants to relax and embrace a life outside of the industry. Let him.

Well Blink 182 did all this "We're leaving" stuff and look who comes back this year.
