@HavveK: I prefer the style of The Fragile (album) more than the industrial-rock style of those songs. But any NIN is good NIN.

onidavin

I approve of Perfect Drug. My eyes lit up as I scanned the list for some Year Zero, though...

Comatose Turtle

Tool would be awesome, but come on, as if we'll ever get it :P.

TonyMcPwny

Albums please! FAH-KING-CHIT! That said I would like some Sublime, Tool, and Barbie's Horse Adventure soundtrack.

I can't bring myself to buy song, that could possibly be part of a later album pack, and would priced lower if the whole album is purchased instead.

SAKY

@Eville1: We'll what the hell do you want him to do than,start playing folk swing music for the retirement homes?

@onidavin:

NIN songs dont get much better than Perfect Drug and March of the Pigs

@Mycool: So what you're trying to say is that you're trolling? Okay.

ColoradoCNC

all, i have to say is.... hell f'ing YES!!!

i have been made a very happy man today. [:

I've been listening to a lot of live NIN tracks the past few weeks, ever since that OXM list came out, trying to pick out how Trent re-arranges his studio tracks for live performance. The problem is that NIN, sadly, has a lot of really good songs that don't have good parts for all 4 instruments. Okay, mainly the drums and vocals are covered, but there are plenty of songs where the keyboard/synth is carrying the melody, and the bass/guitar are fill-in noise. 'Only', for instance, doesn't really have much of a lead guitar riff (although bass would be awesome). That and, well, it's not exactly Trent's most vocal song. :/

Look, as long as they find a way to eventually release Broken as an album pack (INCLUDING Too Physical and Suck!), then all of my prayers will be answered. ;)

In further news, must find Points card ASAP.

Jazhuis

OHHHHHH MYYYY GODDDDDDDDDD, MotP in Rock Band!!!! The greatest drum beat of all time. Dear god, I might drop $150 on this game tomorrow just to play this. Dead serious.

benmonkey

I don't care if they have to censor it.. Give us Closer damnit! And definitely, definitely With Teeth.

StevenRafael

Shove it up inside! Surprise! Lies!

redgopher

This alone makes me want to buy Rock Band. Seriously. Huge Nails fan right here.

PissedPS3Fan

aww, damn.!! not this week! we just suffered a broken drum pedal and a dying guitar this past weekend. . . oh, well,at least they didnt shove 'closer' in there.

CancerMan

Alright, well, I guess we can just throw that OXM March release list out the window now...

Samos42

@shagg187:

yeah if you aren't Moshing while playing the song you ain't playing it.

Wife's going to hate these songs (as she has to do the drums) but i'll love it.

harlock_JDS

Trent Reznor played and wrote the majority of the music on the popular Marilyn Manson records,before he and Manson had a falling out. Note how Manson's albums post-Reznor sound totally different,and overall less polished.
And I refer to him as a T-shirt designer because,let's face it,his main goal in life now is selling shirts,hats,and bumper stickers to mallgoths rather than being any sort of "artist". He locked himself away for a decade and thought he could pick up right where he left off,but guess what,Trent? Industrial has changed,it's not even called industrial any more (usually elctro or future pop),and you're not the king of it any more.

kidnicky

@Erwin: I wouldn't bet on them releasing anything uncensored unfortunately. I haven't seen any DLC that have different ratings than the original game, which sucks. I can't imagine young children downloading NIN songs anyway.

oblivionatm

Ok, not being a NIN's fan, and seeing that the list of March DLC was already released, I guess I won't be buying anything until at least April. Though, this was one of the packs listed for March, so there may yet be some Still Alive in the near future (maybe even full albums? Who's Next? A guy can dream.)

PurpleMonkey

@Gospel X: Just a note, not saying the Dave Grohl was ever a permanent NIN drummer. He just did a bang-up (pun not intended) job with several tracks on With Teeth.

Gospel X

@doubtful: Press play on the drum machine? Maybe if your drum machine is Dave Grohl. Seriously, they should release "You Know What You Are?" from With Teeth. Grohl proved once again why we liked him so much as a drummer. Plus, it'd be insane to keep up with. He literally sounds likea drum machine.

@Eville1: Hasn't done anything new since The Fragile? Have you even listened to the albums afterward? Sure, aspects of With Teeth did sound like a callback to aspects of Broken - just with less angst. Year Zero, however, sounds so different. Sounds like a blend of things, including a little KMFDM at times (in my opinion). If you haven't listened to that full album, it's hard to have respectable opinion of the work. If you have listened to it and hate it, though, just keep on rocking with it.

Despite not having Rock Band or a system that has Rock Band with downloadable content, I like the sound of this pack. "March of the Pigs" is an incredible song for a party including Rock Band, and "The Perfect Drug" is just a great song. "The Collector" is good, but I would never think to include it in any sort of compilation. I'd like to see the aforementioned "You Know What You Are?", "Only", "We're in This Together", "Head Like a Hole", "Wish", "Love is Not Enough", "Survivalism", and "My Violent Heart" someday. I do wish for a piano/keyboard accessory, though.

Gospel X

I would have liked to seen "Only" on this, but I guess screaming "there is no fucking you" isn't acceptable. I'm of a mind NIN is still much worth listening to. And as for much of the same, I'm sick of when people complain about that, it's one thing to say that you don't like the music any more, but I like the artists that I do because they aren't trying to hit the latest trends in music and betray their sound. APC? I think Maynard knew it was over after 13th step, and Mer de Noms is the only stuff worth drawing from (Orestes would be cool).

MrFatalistic

I hear alot of drums breaking.

Fyren

The drumming on Pushit alone would send me sky high. Of course unlike Carey, rockband does not have a 33 piece drum set.

Eville1

Fair enough. He's 43. My point remains the same. He hasn't done anything new since disc 1 of the Fragile.

Eville1

Perfect Drug is a great song and March of the Pigs will be pretty awesome to play on the drums.

Eville1: I agree, I'd LOOOOOVE to see some TOOL on there. Long, epic songs full of crazy changing rhythms and wicked guitars.

dudeman5000

@Eville1:
haha, Trent is in his early 40's, not 50. Most of the people I saw at the 3 NIN shows in 2005/2006 were a lot older than 15 years old.

mywhitenoise

Anything post Fragile done by Trent is absolute trash. Recycled, same ol same ol. If Trent's idea is to keep 15 year olds buying his albums then he succeeds. It's the people who were 15 when Pretty Hate Machine and Broken came out that he loses. If he truly wanted to innovate at all he would stop posing as the broken hearted loser. He's damn near fifty now. If you, like Trent are a loser at fifty then I have some suggestions for what you can do and where you can go.

That being said, Broken, Pretty Hate Machine, Downward Spiral..ok give me DLC from that. Even some of the songs from the Fragile. Anything post...Sucks.

Now APC I could get behind. Tool..Same thing. Anything post Aenima is exactly the same. Sounds the same, same words, same rythms. I'm awaiting Maynards newest. Give me Sober, Prison Sex, Eulogy, H, Jimmy or Pushit. (Opiate, Jerkoff, Hush etc.) And I'd die happy.

Eville1

@demonknightinuyasha: Because of Xbox Live family settings they should be able to release it uncensored. Now to recross my fingers for DK's Too Drunk To Fuck.

Erwin

If it weren't for "the hand that feeds", i probably wouldn't be all that excited about this pack, but after my girlfriend and I realized its one of our favorite tracks to play together (she = vox, me = drums) I can't wait to check these out!

BruzeWayne

@kidnicky:
Dude, you have absolutely no idea what the hell you are talking about. Trent may have helped produce Anti-Christ Superstar, but he didn't make the music. Two totally different bands, and styles. And t-shirt designer? WHAT!? Trent is a t-shirt designer now? Don't talk out of your ass.

mywhitenoise

@SirDanF: While I agree that it would be awsome (thought I would trade Jangling Jack with Tupelo!), it will NEVER happen. Nick Cave is so below the radar these days.

COLDBLOODED_BMC

@demonknightinuyasha: I want to [hug] you like an animal.

@cristiana: Bauhaus would be so fucking great in Rock Band. Dark Entries would be so fun to play. I can't wait for the NIN pack though, I do wish they concentrated on older tracks, like some songs, neh, the entire Broken album.

COLDBLOODED_BMC

man, I salute the drummers who can actually pull off March of the Pigs and The Perfect Drug without rupturing something. The Collector is kinda tame compared to the other two.

These songs make me want an Xbox 360 and Rock Band even more!

@fuchikoma: "YYZ (GH2) starts by playing morse code in 10/8."

@skullivan: I only wish the music he had done for Doom 3 would have been released.

@kidnicky:

Saying Manson is the same as NIN shows that you've never really listened to either.

In any case, this is interesting because OXM had this scheduled for mid-March. Apparently something else will be coming out that week now.

I just want to know how many souls are going to be crushed
in the attempt to get the INSANE drum solo in The Perfect Drug right...

@manjikengo: He'd not he's

manjikengo

@DrakeLake: Yeah I was also thinking about Tool and A Perfect Circle both bands have a great catalog of songs to choose from. As for Cosmonaut, that is also a great song totally didn't think about it. Probably because all I heard on the way to work today were those three (previously mentioned) songs and they are generally the songs I think about when I think of At the drive in.

Also I am just going to say it I know people are going to mad about it. I want some Linkin Park from their previous albums.

MYWHITENOISE-
What's the point in saying you like NIN,but hate Marilyn Manson,when any of Manson's popular songs were just Nine Inch Nails with a different singer? I mean,yeah,they don't credit Reznor,but it's pretty much accepted as truth.
These are pretty cool tracks,IMO,but we need some stuff like Apoptygma Berzerk or VNV Nation for those who prefer a little less "mall" in their "goth". Reznor used to be a pretty good songwriter/musician,but these days he's more of a T-shirt designer.

kidnicky

@shagg187: Nice post.

awwyeadatsright

@njhardcoreguy:

I dunno, I think Harmonix might have some say, you know.

DrakeLake

Wow, the drums in Rock Band just got two contenders for hardest song. If the notes are anything like the drum solo in Perfect Drug at least.

Furious_Liver

@Deltakiral:

I think you made a mistake and forgot Cosmonaut.

Honestly though, it makes me think several things: People don't know who they were, the people at Harmonix either don't like AtDi, or maybe Fearless won't license or wants a lot of money for them. Who knows?

@mywhitenoise:
I know what you mean (except for Tool/ earlier APC). Everything else most fans listen to is awful. But forget them, still buying this and gonna play the crap out of it.

DrakeLake

@spinal77: Developers have little to do with which songs they pursue and get the legal rights to. And you don't need to defend Rock Band, I never said anything bad about it.

njhardcoreguy

@vudu: The organ solo in "Don't Fear the Reaper" was played on the guitar track. I'd imagine they'd do the same for lead keyboard and piano parts.

J. Kyle

@jollydwarf:

Some Tool would be nice... They have some crazy time signatures as well. The verse in the song Lateralus goes three measures of 9/8, 8/8, 7/8 in a row. I forget how the rest of the song goes, but it's equally weird. In fact, I think they only had one fairly standard song on that whole album (Parabola was entirely 4/4 I think).

Franklin Comes Alive!

@demonknightinuyasha:

Actually doesn't he control all of his rights now, after he founded his own record company and then closed it?

spinal77

damn! get your best sound-proofing on...

while i'm all for perfect drug (love the song and video), the outro does seem a little weak for something like rock band. and the middle would be a mess... i guess i'm saying, trent did it best.

geekgrrl

@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: EVERYTHING I SAY IS IMPORTANT

Anyone remember that rumor a while back that Dragonforce was going to cover The Final Countdown? Why the hell didn't that happen.

StartingAces

whooooo i was looking forward to this most of the downloadable content on its way. easily one of my favorite bands.

the only thing that sucks about it is that trent hates the record industry now and they will probably be getting money for every download lol.

i dont think closer would fit for rockband at all. pretty sure they would have to censor it since rockband is T. (otherwise i would love to have it on there \m/ >.< \m/ )

I'm still waiting for a Nick Cave pack.

Oh. Hell. yes.

@njhardcoreguy:

Haven't you figured out by now that the real geniuses behind GH went to Harmonix and made Rock Band, and now Activision is just trying to milk the GH franchise?

Why buy GH where you can only play one instrument where you can buy RB and get 3 ways to play...that alone has given me months more of playtime than I ever got out of a frustrating GH game...Not to mention Harmonix wasn't kidding when they said DLC every week after release.

spinal77

The only reason I hate to admit i'm a NIN fan (I own all the Halos) is because I don't want people associating my taste in music with Tool, APC, or Manson...god damn those bands suck. A lot of NIN fans have horrible taste in music.

mywhitenoise

@manjikengo: Hell yes. I want tool in Rock band so bad.

The drums on 'The Perfect Drug' are crazy.

Rurik

well, look's like another reason to import rock band. =P

5qu33

@DrakeLake: I was just listening to At the Drive in today and that's all I could think about is how perfect they would be for Rock Band. Give me a pack with One-Armed Scissor, Invalid Litter Dept and Sleepwalk Capsules and I'd be such a happy camper.

@HurricaneDave: Hell ya! Give me the worlds best trio ever. Sting, Adam, and Stewart singing all for love!

Also fail at the lack of Portal for this week. That's really the only song I am interested in playing for a while. Especially after seeing the songs for March aren't my taste. And beside according to OXM wasn't this set suppose to come out the second week in March?

Deltakiral

Rock Band gets THREE NIN songs and Guitar Hero gets a crappy Aerosmith track. Activision, get your shit together.

njhardcoreguy

meh i just wanted still alive =(

neednorespect

Only one person mentioned the obvious. These songs WERE scheduled to come out mid-march. So what's with the switch? Something brewing at Harmonix?

Anybody realize this inconsistency?

vanderblade

@Del Deadeyes:

Throbbing Gristle and Skinny Puppy? Getting a little out there aren't we? Maybe a cEvin Key retrospective.

Fun fact: I used the Killing Game from Last Rights for a high school project where we had to analyze the meaning of a song. No one in that class ever looked me in the eye again.

As for the NIN songs, they shouldn't be that hard. Just press play on the drum machine. Haha.

doubtful

Not that it's the best NIN song, but "We're In This Together Now" would be perfect for Rock Band.

Don't get me wrong. I like APC but I'd prefer a Tool pack.

@awwyeadatsright:
Cliffs of Dover (GH3) has no distinct time signature.
YYZ (GH2) starts by playing morse code in 10/8.

But yeah, not arguing GH vs RB. If anything it sounds like it's time for me to pick up RB as soon as they release a guitar-only PS3 version.

fuchikoma

@spinal77:

Honestly, I think we should tar and feather mycool but...to each his own. perhaps he thinks FalloutBoy is the best music ever.

And yes, now all we need is tool. Hell, I'd settle for A Perfect Circle.

March!!

:( wish i had money. 20 mspoints and saving for a tv = the suck

manjikengo

@Mycool:

Wow....I think thats the first time I've ever heard any of Trent's work referred to as garbage. I'd be curious as to why you believe so, when I consider his older stuff to be works of art, up through the fragile, and skipping with teeth and including year zero. What don't you like about NIN/reznor? You have to give the man credit for pretty much doing all of his own recording and song writing, and trying to push the sonic envelope.

Maybe its because I grew up in that era and his music is linked with my angsty teenaged past, but he will always be one of my favorite musicians. Now we just need some Tool.

spinal77

Oh and please let Blur - Beetlebum be released in March :)

mywhitenoise

I was just going to bring up "March of the Pigs" odd time signature(s). But if anyone can make 7/8 work on the radio, it's Trent (it used to be Rush, like, every other song...or maybe EVERY song).

The full-court press in on the Guitar Hero franchise now.

jollydwarf

FUCK YES! I was expecting the rumored Mid-March.
This is one huge reason I bought Rock Band last weekend!

mywhitenoise

Holy fuck, that's the best announcement I've heard yet for Rock Band. Drumming at the end of Perfecr Drug is great. Gonna have to get RB soon now!

Xirj

@Tarv: from wikipedia:
"March of the Pigs" has one of the most unusual meters of any song to enjoy popular radio play, alternating three bars of 7/8 time with one bar of 4/4 time (in effect, a 29/8 time signature). The song has a BPM rate of 269.

HELL. YES.

awwyeadatsright

How do they handle the keyboards? All of those songs have at least some keys/piano in them.

(I've never played Rock Band, so please forgive me if this is a completely stupid question.)

vudu

@awwyeadatsright: it will for sure be the most unique drum beat for a song on rock band, i'm excited.

Tarv

The Perfect Drug is by far the best NIN song ever!

WrenixPhight

March of the pigs - 2 thumbs (way) up.

The Collector - Sure, why not. Wouldn't have been my pick off of w/Teeth for RB, but it works. (Only might have been a good choice)

Perfect drug - Um... no piano in rock band? What the hell are you going to do with the outro? (I know the piano is way overemphasized in my head, but still! :-P)

Personally, I don't know how you can do NIN without doing Closer, but I don't know how well it would translate to Rock band.

Are the songs uncensored in RB? I know they cut them all out in GH. If they are censored, then I guess that is how you leave Closer off the list!

NateN

Two words: FUCK YEAH!

I think Somewhat Damaged would be a pretty cool on bass.

IndustrialJones

Oh my god! My life is complete. Art is Resistance.

oblivionatm

First week I'm not buying a song.

Len Bias Cocaine Surplus

One thing I don't understand with the Rock Band tracks, is even though they have an entire gothic section for clothes, there is no gothic music. Some Bauhaus, or Sisters of Mercy, or even The Cure would be great.

cristiana

They should release a combo pack with Hurt by NIN and Hurt performed by Johnny Cash.

That would rock. ^_^

wired_fenix

FINALLY! Been waiting for these, oh man March of the Pigs is gonna be so fun to play!

omses

Yay, something new that doesn't have anything to do with the Ramones, Weezer, the Clash, or the Police!

Now, uh...how 'bout those full albums?

Awesome Perfect Drug, gimme Closer too and I'd be very happy

chemical_eng_mx

I just bought El Scorcho last night. I'll definitely be buying this pack and I hope they release a Pixies pack soon [crosses fingers].

At the Drive-in. Please :3

But I digress, I'm definitely buying this pack. Can't wait to play March of Pigs.

@EggmaniMN: Hey he's right, whats the deal? O but wait harmonix did say the dates might change so I guess all is fine. I hope the metal pack gets moved up this month also, not the thrash pack I mean. Also the Nirvana album and the Rolling Stones hopefully are in store for us early

Eddy666

welcome! Though I'm not a huge NIN fan, the songs sound.. interesting for drums. Maybe I'll wait to see a youtube vid of them :p Just scared they might be repetitive.

Now doesn't it make you feel better?

josh924

March of the Pigs is gonna be awesome for every instrument, I can't wait to play this with room full of friends!

March of the Pigs!!!! Ooooooohhhh, man!

lifeinthefridge

@huffdaddy: Nihil is beautiful.. but, not quite as heavy on analog instruments or at least sounds for RB's instruments, thus why i said WWIII which.. while not quite as great as Nihil (IMO) has both the instruments and the Watts

HikariOblivion

I've been wishing for The Perfect Drug since the game came out. That drum solo is going to be AWESOME. March of the Pigs is a nice one, but The Collector just confuses me as a choice. Couldn't they go for something like Getting Smaller instead? Plenty of better material on With Teeth...
Still, I've been waiting for this.

@kidnicky: What are you talking about? He didn't "lock himself away for a decade", he had a really rough time recovering from his heavy drug addictions. Also, if you count Still, he didn't go away for THAT long before he released With Teeth. If you're only counting The Fragile as his last album before With Teeth, then yes, it took six years, but I have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to selling hats and T-shirts. Yes, there's merchandising, but have you done any research whatsoever into the amount of work he put into the world of Year Zero?
Year Zero had one of the most insane ARGs I've ever seen. I rank it up there with Halo 2's phenomenal "I Love Bees" ARG. From hidden messages left within sound bites on USB sticks hidden in bathroom stalls in concerts to the brilliant finale involving a secret concert that was interrupted by the pandemonium of "authorities" busting in in full SWAT gear, it's a brilliantly conceived universe that very few artists have the ability to come up with. Couple that with the fact that he made Year Zero largely on his own on a computer and you have no reason to call him anything BUT an artist.
On top of that, who are you to define what his music is supposed to be? People only call his music industrial because they have no other categorization to put it into. It's still brilliance, especially when approached from a technical/critical listening view of things.
Besides, who do you consider a good modern industrial artist? That genre has become such a mess since the 90s. And are you really going to argue that modern industrial isn't catering to "mallgoths"?

Mujah

Yes! So glad more NIN tracks are going to hit. Trent is the frickin' man.

A Nick Cave pack would be the most fun to do as a vocalist. "Don't call me dim! I'm the dim locator,the dim locator badadabadaddadada!"

kidnicky

@HikariOblivion: I like you, your good people. A Drug Against War would kill! I hope they get their shit together and release a proper industrial pack. KMFDM, Killing Joke, Pigface etc. Oh yeah, huffdaddy, good call on the Pig. Just promise me you wont request Salambo.

Trekka

@HikariOblivion: I've already requested a ton of songs from Nihil on the Rock Band request form. It's the best shot we'll ever get of playing Raymond Watts in Rock Band. Although some all out Pig would be awesome. Veterano, Fuck Me, or Sinsation... one can dream.

huffdaddy

I've wanted March of the Pigs for drums for a while. We need some rage too, mainly for the bass and drums. :D

CaptLtrl

Sorry about the triple comment but I just noticed us NIN fans get bitchy.

And proud of it.

Xiatter

@Mycool: You like U2, right?

Xiatter

@kidnicky: Dude, you haven't been paying attention.

"Industrial" these days is not called "industrial" because it is not... "industrial". NIN is Industrial and almost everyone else has sold out their sound.

I'd rather have an artist selling t-shirts as an independent musician, than someone under a big-name label selling their talents short. Or worse, under a little-known label selling out in the first place because they don't have the BALLS to do anything interesting.

Other than Angelspit and Combichrist, I can't think of many artists that I would still consider Industrial.

But it still exists. You just don't know where to find it, apparently.

And you haven't been paying enough attention to NIN to see they're trying something different, again. Which just so happens to be another personality's version of "industrial music". I.e., NIN is not fucking woosing out and joining the crowd just because your favorites did. At the same time it's not completely senseless noise. It's like freaking Bach the way the music goes all over the place and winds up making its point. Somehow.

And no goddammit, it's not electropop. It's not as loud as Downward Spiral or The Fragile, but there is thought and feeling and emotion and that puts NIN above a lot of other "musicians" these days.

But you know, just go back under your rock. You seem comfortable there.

@Eville1: You guys got yourselves a duplex cave or what?

Just because he's been around for like two decades doesn't mean Trent's new stuff is crap. With Teeth I admit sounded like a warmup after a long break, but Year Zero is getting there.

Even his weakest stuff has merit. It's just not what you grew up on.

Xiatter

This is just making the fact that some of us live in countries that *still* don't have a release date for this awesome game very very painful...

And yes Tool would be awesome, though I'd be surprised if it ever happened...still if they announced Ænima I'd order a imported copy to play it on and buy a PS3 (damn 360 region encoding >_<)

though there are other bands I'd love too see on there that are less likely....sadly kidnicky I don't think we'll ever see VNV Nation :(...or Lords of Acid :P though SirDanF's idea of a Nick Cave pack sounds awesome and actually within the realms of possibility ^_^ *lives in hope*

ChaoticLusts

@dowingba: Hey, I missed this. As one of the few remaining BOC fans, I must say the only thing that sounds like an organ in DFTR is a long, held note. Also, every time I've seen them live, it was all guitar, no organ filler, so I have no idea what they're talking about either. Go Buck Dharma!

Erwin

@J. Kyle: Since when is there an organ solo in Don't Fear the Reaper?

dowingba

Very cool, now, if we could just get some KMFDM.. A Drug Against War would be beautiful for RB, as would most of WWIII... Singing in place Raymond Watts, that's a fantasy worth having.

...Actually, if I fantasize, I may as well go all out. Let's have some PIG. No One Gets Out Of Her Alive, The Sick, and Find It Fuck It Forget It. Oh yes. Please? I'm begging you <.<

marilyn manson was quoted as saying he wanted to do a country album one day. Why not? Even the eternally mopey have other thoughts and concerns they can share with the world.

This is the best thing that's happened to Rock Band since it came out. Although, it could be the worst thing to happen to my mic when I get carried away and smack it to floor at the end of March of the Pigs.

I'm also glad to see that this wasn't a pure commercially friendly pack. The Hand That Feeds may be a decent rock song, but it hardly gives you an accurate example of what NIN is like.

@kidnicky:

Industrial's changed, yes, but that change is still heavily influenced by Trent Reznor. Did you listen to Year Zero? Did you see what he did there?

@Comatose Turtle:

Haha, yeah. I'd love to see "The Good Soldier" or "Capital G" on RB. They seem a good fit.

Also: Trent Reznor is a god among modern musicians. After nearly twenty years, he's still pushing the envelope on what industrial music is and does.

Drums on perfect drug.

Nine Inch Nails has been my favorite band since I was 8, this is a dream come true, and I could give a piece of my mind to all the haters, but I think I could be banned x10.

I now have enough reasons to buy Rock Band.
