Unbeknownst to me, Joey was a Nine Inch Nails fanatic, and had seen them in concert multiple times. Although I was never fortunate enough to see them live, I began listening in 1994 with the release of <em>The Downward Spiral<\/em>. At the time Nine Inch Nails broke through rock and electronic music conventions and made industrial, with its signature synthesizer-heavy melodies and distorted vocals, a mainstream branch of rock music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Years later Nine Inch Nails would break up and the prospect of seeing them live instantly disappeared. Last summer with Joey I lamented the lost prospect of seeing NIN live while we watched live footage that he had collected from NIN in the 1990&#8217;s. However, as of last month, Trent Reznor (the founder, nay, heart and soul of NIN) announced: NIN is <a href=\"http:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/49681-trent-reznor-announces-the-return-of-nine-inch-nails-extensive-touring-for-2013-and-2014\/\">returning in 2013<\/a> to tour. Not only that, but Trent Reznor&#8217;s new band, How to Destroy Angels, is also touring this year and performing at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.justcharlie.com\/dreams-of-coachella-2013\">Coachella Music and Arts Festival<\/a>\u00a0this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a fan of nearly every Trent Reznor project: from Nine Inch Nails, to his film scoring work (<em>The Social Network, Girl With the Dragon Tattoo<\/em>), to his latest band, How to Destroy Angels. He was also among the highlights of Dave&#8217;s Grohl&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.justcharlie.com\/short-movie-review-5-sound-city\">Sound City documentary<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more: <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trent_Reznor\">Trent Reznor on Wikipedia<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nine_Inch_Nails\">Nine Inch Nails<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/How_to_Destroy_Angels_(band)\">How to Destroy Angels<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Destroy Angels &#8211;
