Below, we found video stemming from NIN's Fe ... More >>
Never let it be said that Trent Reznor can't admit when he's wrong. Last spring's co-headlining tour with Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction was an exciting idea; two alt-rock giants -- one exiting the music scene, the other re-entering -- hitting the road together. But it wasn't NIN's tour to ste ... More >>

(Via Pitchfork/Some Kind of Awesome!) Trent Reznor is a busy man.
