Random secondary way out there thought; Belew and Reznor have both worked with Bowie in the past. Talk of Bowie playing live keeps floating just below the surface.

At last!

I thought I'd heard the name before, I remembered he played on some of the tracks on "Ghosts" and before that, on "The Downward Spiral". But yeah, supposedly he's gonna tour with NIN this year.

"After years of hints, clues, and teases, Trent Reznor is reviving Nine Inch Nails, who performed their last live shows in 2009. The trailblazing band will start playing shows with a new lineup this summer, with a U.S. arena tour to follow this fall and global dates on the way into 2014, Reznor said in a statement to Pitchfork.

Along with Reznor, the new lineup includes Jane's Addiction's Eric Avery, King Crimson's Adrian Belew, and Josh Eustis, of the sorely missed Chicago production duo Telefon Tel Aviv. Past NIN cohorts Alessandro Cortini and Ilan Rubin are also on board."

Cerebus predicts Eric Avery will quit before this version of the band is officially done.

Cerebus is bummed out that Robin Finck is not in this version of the band. Every great NIN performance Cerebus has seen have involved him being on stage.

I'm STOKED about the SF show!!!

MUSIC-OVERLOAD!

I think this is the actual NIN announcement. I'm posting it because I find it interesting that the whole thing seems to have evolved out of playing with Adrian Belew...

NOTE FROM TRENT:

Nine Inch Nails are touring this year.

I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas, which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which (many steps later) led to the decision to re-think the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show. Calls were made to some friends, lots of new ideas were discussed, and a show was booked - which led to another, which somehow led to a lot of shows.

The band is reinventing itself from scratch and will be comprised of Eric Avery, Adrian Belew, Alessandro Cortini, Josh Eustis, Ilan Rubin, and me. The first shows will begin this summer, followed by a full-on arena tour of the US this fall, and lots of other dates worldwide to follow through 2014.

Lots of details and dates to come. See you soon.

I'm not clicking that...because of the emoticons you used.

I don't know man, but its starting to get a bit outdated.

If you haven't heard "Call Me A Hole", click on the link. It's a mashup of Head Like A Hole and Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe. It's terrible, but in a really interesting way.

Ivy, Ascender and a NIN thread makes Cerebus' cold grey heart almost warm and fuzzy.

No offense Timmy, it's just... damn... the years roll by, and there's memories and stuff involved.

Grey heart? Be a little more dramataic Priscilla!

I'm not terribly impressed with this. It plays better as a segment in the movie, for me. As a whole, just watching them go back and forth, it's kind of boring and it's definitely unfinished. Most of the joy I get from it is just because it's three guys whose music I dig quite a bit, jamming out a song in an afternoon.
