Nine Inch Nails is an American industrial rock band founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio. The band's live performances contrast with its in-studio counterpart; although Reznor is in complete creative control of Nine Inch Nails in-studio, he typically assembles groups of backing musicians to interpret songs for live performances.[3][4] The list below outlines the individuals that have been a part of the Nine Inch Nails live band, in addition to any commercially released material that they contributed to or appeared on.[a][b]
The band's lineup has changed consistently throughout the band's history, with Reznor remaining the only constant. Notable musicians who have contributed to live performances include Chris Vrenna, Richard Patrick, Jeff Ward, James Woolley, Danny Lohner, Robin Finck, Charlie Clouser, Jerome Dillon, Alessandro Cortini, Aaron North, Jeordie White, Josh Freese, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and Ilan Rubin. In 2016, frequent Reznor collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Atticus Ross was announced as an official member of Nine Inch Nails, becoming the only person other than Reznor to have held an official position in the band.[5] The configuration of Nine Inch Nails as a live band has evolved consistently. Early incarnations of the band featured three people playing guitar, drums, keyboards, and samplers.[6] Later incarnations replaced the keyboards and samplers with an additional guitarist, and further incarnations added a bassist.[6] The live component later settled on a five-piece band between the Self Destruct Tour in 1994 and Lights in the Sky Tour in 2008.[7] In September 2007, Reznor expressed his interest in moving away from the "rock band configuration" to explore "other ways [to] present the material in concert",[8] and by 2009 the live band was once again pared down to four positions. The live band reverted to five positions for the Twenty Thirteen Tour; however, on the second leg (Tension 2013), the live band consisted of the largest amount of members in the lineup with eight members total. Afterwards, the lineup again reverted to four positions for the third leg (NIN 2014). The live band then settled on five positions for 2017's I Can't Seem to Wake Up Tour, and has remained the same since.
Nine Inch Nails has released one album, one EP, and four videos featuring the live band: Closure (1997), a double-VHS set featuring live performances from the Self Destruct Tour which was later expanded in 2004 with extra content from 1988 to 1995; And All That Could Have Been (2002), released in CD and double-DVD formats featuring performances from the Fragility Tour; Beside You in Time (2007), released on Blu-Ray and DVD and featuring performances from the Live: With Teeth Tour; Another Version of the Truth (2009), an officially sanctioned fan-made release in HD and triple-DVD sets featuring performances from the Lights in the Sky Tour; and Live 2013 EP (2013), a four-track EP consisting of performances from the Twenty Thirteen Tour.
Between major tours, live band members have on occasion contributed instrumental performances to official Nine Inch Nails releases, though creative control and direction has always been the responsibility of Reznor; however, in 2020, when Nine Inch Nails was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Reznor was inducted in addition to Ross, Finck, Cortini, Rubin, Vrenna, and Lohner as well.
^For a member's release contributions, only official material released by Nine Inch Nails is included. Soundtracks and compilations are also included if the Nine Inch Nails track on the release was previously unreleased up to that point. Promotional releases are not included since they weren't intended to be obtained by the general public. For example, the live version of "Happiness in Slavery" which is found on the Woodstock 94 Live Album is listed under Robin Finck's name since he appeared on the track and that particular song was not released elsewhere up to that point.
^Please note that, under a member's release contributions, the listings refers to the actual commercial single that was released, and not a particular song. For example, Chris Vrenna co-wrote and contributed to the song "The Perfect Drug" in 1997, but later in 2000, "The Perfect Drug" was included as a b-side to the commercial "Into the Void" single, well after Vrenna had departed from the band; thus, both instances are listed under his name.
^Official member of Nine Inch Nails in-studio since 1988, Reznor has performed with the live band since its inception in 1988 and he has been the only constant member of the live band.
^Atticus Ross was initially an in-studio collaborator with Nine Inch Nails, as he worked on nearly every project since 2005. He was also a founding member of Reznor's side-project How to Destroy Angels, and worked with Reznor on numerous soundtrack scores. In 2016, he was made an official member of Nine Inch Nails, the first person to receive that title (besides Reznor).
^Robin Finck replaced Richard Patrick, the live band's original guitarist, for the Self-Destruct Tour in 1994. Finck was then replaced by Kevin McMahon for a few shows in 1996. Between tours, Finck performed briefly with Cirque du Soleil and then with Guns N' Roses. Following a four-year touring hiatus, the Nine Inch Nails live band reformed in 1999 for the Fragility Tour, again featuring Finck contributing on guitar. At the conclusion of the Fragility Tour in 2000, Finck returned to Guns N' Roses, and was replaced by Aaron North for Live: With Teeth in 2005. There were various reports that suggested there was animosity between Finck and Reznor during the Fragility tours, which may have led to Finck declining the invitation to the following tours. In 2008, Finck rejoined Nine Inch Nails, playing on The Slip and joining the live band for the Lights in the Sky Tour and the following Wave Goodbye Tour.[10] Finck has contributed on the most tours of all the past live members, playing for the Self-Destruct, Fragility, Lights in the Sky, Wave Goodbye, Twenty-Thirteen, I Can’t Seem to Wake Up, Cold and Black and Infinite, and U.S. 2022 & U.K. 2022 tours.[11]
Finck was included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020.[9]
^Prior to the Live: With Teeth Tour in 2005, Reznor held open auditions to replace live band members who had left the group during the five years between tours. Alessandro Cortini reportedly fit in immediately,[12] and was part of the live band for four years.[13] Between tours, Cortini contributed to some of the Nine Inch Nails studio-material, gaining co-writing credits on Ghosts I–IV and a performance credit on The Slip. At the conclusion of the Lights in the Sky Over North/South America Tour in late 2008 Cortini announced his departure from the band to pursue other music projects.[14] No replacement was hired for him, and the 2009 incarnation of the live band was a four-piece group, with the role of keyboard player shared between the four band members. Cortini returned to the live band for its 2013 and 2014 tours. Beginning with the I Can’t Seem to Wake Up Tour, Cortini began to transition to playing more guitar and bass, due to the addition of Atticus Ross on keyboards and synthesizers.
Cortini was included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020.[9]
^Ilan Rubin was named as the drummer to succeed Josh Freese.[15] Rubin played with the band for the Wave Goodbye Tour, and was invited back into the band for the Twenty Thirteen Tour, remaining as the band's drummer since then.
Rubin was included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020.[9]
^Alongside Trent Reznor and Ron Musarra, Chris Vrenna was a member of the original three-piece band formed in 1988 to support Skinny Puppy on tour. He was initially the keyboardist and percussionist. After Nine Inch Nails was dismissed from the tour, Vrenna replaced Musarra on drums, and subsequently played with the band until 1990, when he had a brief fallout with Reznor.[16] Vrenna and Reznor later reconciled, and Vrenna rejoined the band in 1992 for Broken and The Downward Spiral recording sessions and as a live member for the Self-Destruct Tour.[17][18] After Vrenna contributed to the Lost Highway Soundtrack, the pair had a final falling out in 1997. In September 2022, Vrenna and former members Richard Patrick, Danny Lohner, and Charlie Clouser took part in a Q&A session alongside the other present members of Nine Inch Nails in Cleveland, Ohio (as it related to the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2020). The following night during Nine Inch Nails' concert at Blossom Music Center, Vrenna, Patrick, Lohner, and Clouser reunited with the band for the final six songs of the setlist.[19]
Vrenna was included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020.[9]
^Ron Musarra was the drummer of the 1980s band Slam Bamboo, which Reznor was also the keyboardist of. After leaving the band, Reznor and Musarra — along with Chris Vrenna — were members of the original three-piece Nine Inch Nails band formed in 1988 to support Skinny Puppy on tour. Nine Inch Nails were reportedly poorly received, however, and were asked to leave the tour after 10 dates.[20] A brief video from this performance would be released as bonus footage on 1997's Closure. For subsequent live performances and tours, original keyboardist Vrenna replaced Musarra on drums. Musarra was thanked in the liner notes of Pretty Hate Machine, as he had also possibly played drums on the demos (known as the Purest Feeling bootleg).
^Following Nine Inch Nails' first performances in support of Skinny Puppy, the band expanded from a three-piece to a four-piece band as Richard Patrick was added on guitar.[6] Patrick played with the band through the conclusion of the Pretty Hate Machine Tour in 1991, including a performance at Lollapalooza. After touring briefly in Europe, Nine Inch Nails then worked on the Broken EP; however, Patrick was not allowed by Reznor to contribute towards the material, although Patrick was thanked as an "influence" in the liner notes for Broken. After appearing in the music videos for Broken's tracks he left the live band to form Filter. He co-founded Filter along with Nine Inch Nails' in-studio engineer Brian Liesegang. Patrick was briefly reunited with Nine Inch Nails in 1996 during the Nights of Nothing showcase tour, as he contributed guitar to a performance of "Head Like a Hole" during Nine Inch Nails' set on the last of three dates.[21] Although Patrick was not included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020, Reznor had specifically thanked him during his pre-recorded induction speech. In September 2022, Patrick and former members Chris Vrenna, Danny Lohner, and Charlie Clouser took part in a Q&A session alongside the other present members of Nine Inch Nails in Cleveland, Ohio (as it related to the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2020). The following night during Nine Inch Nails' concert at Blossom Music Center, Patrick, Vrenna, Lohner, and Clouser reunited with the band for the final six songs of the setlist. Filter's popular single "Hey Man, Nice Shot" was also performed for the first time by Nine Inch Nails, with Patrick on lead vocals.[19]
^Gary Talpas briefly replaced Chris Vrenna on keyboards, so that Vrenna could move to drums. He was only present during the early portions of the promotional tour for Pretty Hate Machine. It is unknown whether he was actually playing; however, Talpas was Nine Inch Nails' art director for a number of years, including creating the widely known "NIN" logo. He was the art director for the Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, and The Downward Spiral eras.[22]
^Following the live band's first performances in support of Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails played a few promotional dates in late 1989 to support the release of Pretty Hate Machine. Since keyboardist Gary Talpas wasn't meant to be a full-time member, Nick Rushe was added to the live band on keyboards instead. Rushe was only part of the live band for a handful of dates in December 1989, although in that time span, Nine Inch Nails made their first televised appearance (on Dance Party USA in which a short clip was later included on the Closure documentary). After Rushe's firing, he subsequently joined Exotic Birds as their keyboardist, a band that both Reznor and Chris Vrenna were members of in the 1980s.
^For Nine Inch Nails' tours in support of The Jesus and Mary Chain and Peter Murphy in 1990, the band hired David Haymes to play keyboards. He was eventually replaced by Lee Mars for the Hate Tour.[6][23]
^Lee Mars contributed briefly to the live band as their keyboardist, replacing David Haymes. Mars performed with Nine Inch Nails for less than a year, but in that time played with the band during their first tours as a headlining act. Mars stayed with the band until early 1991 when James Woolley was brought in.[6][23]
^Jeff Ward briefly replaced Chris Vrenna as drummer for Nine Inch Nails when Vrenna left the band mid-tour due to a fallout with Reznor. Ward's brief tenure with the band included their 1991 Lollapalooza appearances and a brief tour in Europe.[7] In 1992, when Nine Inch Nails commenced work on the Broken EP, Vrenna was invited back into the band; however, Ward was thanked in the liner notes of Broken as an "influence". Afterwards, Ward co-created the band Low Pop Suicide as their drummer and songwriter. After the release of their debut album, he committed suicide in 1993.[24] His death was mentioned in the liner notes of 1994's The Downward Spiral. Although Ward was not included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020, Reznor had specifically thanked him during his pre-recorded induction speech.
^James Woolley replaced Lee Mars on keyboards in 1991, as Woolley was previously a member of Die Warzau, a band that had toured alongside Nine Inch Nails in 1990 and early 1991. Woolley's tenure with the band started with the 1991 Lollapalooza tour and the subsequent tour in Europe. He was then thanked in the liner notes of 1992's Broken as an "influence" and he then returned for the Self-Destruct Tour, which also included Nine Inch Nails headlining at Woodstock '94. Woolley left the band in December 1994, although three years later he joined the live incarnation of 2wo (who were signed to Reznor's Nothing Records label at the time). Woolley died in 2016 due to a traumatic fall. Although Woolley was not included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020, Reznor had specifically thanked him during his pre-recorded induction speech.[7]
^For the Self-Destruct Tour in 1994, the Nine Inch Nails live band was expanded into a five-piece band, adding Danny Lohner on bass, who had previously played in the industrial metal band Skrew and then contributed to The Downward Spiral. Lohner played with the live band through the Self-Destruct Tour in 1994 and 1995 and the Fragility Tour in 1999 and 2000.[25][26] During his tenure with the band, Lohner contributed to a number of releases, including studio albums The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. Lohner was also a founding member of the Nine Inch Nails side-project Tapeworm. He would appear as a guest during 2009's Wave Goodbye Tour, at the second-to-last show of the tour. In September 2022, Lohner and former members Chris Vrenna, Richard Patrick, and Charlie Clouser took part in a Q&A session alongside the other present members of Nine Inch Nails in Cleveland, Ohio (as it related to the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2020). The following night during Nine Inch Nails' concert at Blossom Music Center, Lohner, Vrenna, Patrick, and Clouser reunited with the band for the final six songs of the setlist.[19]
Lohner was included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020.[9]
^In 1994, Charlie Clouser was Nine Inch Nails' keyboard technician for live performances. He joined the live band in December 1994, replacing James Woolley on keyboards midway though the Self-Destruct Tour. Clouser played with the live band through the remainder of the Self-Destruct Tour, and the subsequent Fragility Tour in 1999 and 2000.[7][27] Clouser had contributed to numerous studio releases, including The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. Clouser was also a founding member of the Nine Inch Nails side-project Tapeworm. Although Clouser was not included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020, Reznor had specifically thanked him during his pre-recorded induction speech. In September 2022, Clouser and former members Chris Vrenna, Richard Patrick, and Danny Lohner took part in a Q&A session alongside the other present members of Nine Inch Nails in Cleveland, Ohio (as it related to the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2020). The following night during Nine Inch Nails' concert at Blossom Music Center, Clouser, Vrenna, Patrick, and Lohner reunited with the band for the final six songs of the setlist.[19]
^Kevin McMahon filled in for Robin Finck on the Nights of Nothing showcase tour as Nine Inch Nails' guitarist. Reznor had a long-standing friendship with McMahon, as they were bandmates in the late 1980s act Lucky Pierre and Reznor had also signed McMahon's band Prick to Nothing Records, and subsequently Reznor produced Prick's self-titled debut album. In addition to playing guitar, McMahon also sang lead vocals on the Prick songs that Nine Inch Nails performed on the short tour.
^To replace long-time member Chris Vrenna for the Fragility Tour in 1999, Reznor held open auditions to find a new drummer, eventually picking then-unknown Jerome Dillon.[28] Dillon performed with the live band through the entirety of the Fragility Tour and had also contributed to the side-project Tapeworm. When Nine Inch Nails came out of a hiatus for the 2005 Live: With Teeth Tour, Dillon was the only live band member that remained from the Fragility Tour (besides Reznor himself). After Nine Inch Nails completed a small club tour and an overseas international tour, they returned to the United States in September 2005; however, during the band's first arena date, Dillon was forced to stop midway through a show and was subsequently hospitalized.[29] His condition was later diagnosed as a non-life threatening cardiac disorder, a consequence of his thyroid medication. Dillon was then hospitalized a second time one month later, and thus he was replaced by Josh Freese. After a handful of dates, Alex Carapetis took over drumming duties for two months, followed by Freese again on a more permanent basis. During Dillon's tenure, he contributed to several Nine Inch Nails releases, including studio albums The Fragile and With Teeth, and live releases And All That Could Have Been and Beside You in Time, the latter of which was released after his split with the band. Although Dillon was not included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020, Reznor had specifically thanked him during his pre-recorded induction speech.
^Jeordie White had been a part of Marilyn Manson (then playing under the pseudonym of "Twiggy Ramirez") while they acted as the supporting band for Nine Inch Nails during the Self-Destruct Tour in 1994. Prior to the Live: With Teeth Tour in 2005, Reznor held open auditions to replace live band members who had left the group during the five years between tours. White was auditioned and then chosen to replace Danny Lohner on bass. White played with the group through the Live: With Teeth Tour and the following Performance 2007 Tour.[8] Although White was not included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020, Reznor had specifically thanked him during his pre-recorded induction speech.
^Prior to the Live: With Teeth Tour in 2005, Reznor held open auditions to replace live band members who had left the group during the five years between tours. Reznor reportedly had trouble finding a guitarist to replace long-time guitarist Robin Finck until auditioning Aaron North.[30] North played with the group through the Live: With Teeth Tour and the following Performance 2007 Tour. He was then replaced by Finck, who made a return to the band in 2008.[8] Although North was not included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020, Reznor had specifically thanked him during his pre-recorded induction speech.
^Josh Freese had been a part of A Perfect Circle while they acted as the supporting band for Nine Inch Nails during the Fragility 2.0 Tour in 2000 and he had also contributed to the side-project Tapeworm. During the Live: With Teeth Tour, drummer Jerome Dillon was forced to stop midway through a show and was subsequently hospitalized.[29] One month later, Dillon was hospitalized a second time, and Freese initially replaced Dillon for two shows before Alex Carapetis joined the band for the remainder of the arena tour.[31] Freese eventually replaced Carapetis and joined the band on a more permanent basis. Freese played with the band through the remainder of the Live: With Teeth Tour, the following Performance 2007 Tour, and the subsequent Lights in the Sky Tour. Between tours, Freese contributed instrumental performances to a number of Nine Inch Nails studio releases, including Year Zero and The Slip. He announced his departure from the band in late 2008 and was replaced by Ilan Rubin. Although Freese was not included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020, Reznor had specifically thanked him during his pre-recorded induction speech.
^During the Live: With Teeth Tour, drummer Jerome Dillon was forced to stop midway through a show and was subsequently hospitalized.[29] After Dillon was hospitalized a second time one month later, Josh Freese initially replaced Dillon on drums for two shows before Alex Carapetis joined the band for the remainder of the arena tour. Due to Reznor not wanting to cancel anymore shows (since three were already postponed shortly beforehand), Carapetis had rehearsed during soundchecks and breaks.[31] After Nine Inch Nails finished a short tour of South America, Carapetis then declined to rejoin Nine Inch Nails for the subsequent dates. Freese eventually replaced Carapetis and joined the band on a more permanent basis.
^Prior to the Lights in the Sky Tour, it was originally announced that Rich Fownes would be joining the live band on bass;[32] however, before any scheduled performances, it was revealed that Justin Meldal-Johnsen would instead be contributing on bass. He remained in the band for the entirety of the 2008 Lights in the Sky and 2009 Wave Goodbye tours.[33] Although Meldal-Johnsen was not included in Nine Inch Nails' Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020, Reznor had specifically thanked him during his pre-recorded induction speech.
^Josh Eustis joined the live band for its 2013 tours. He initially played bass, but after Pino Palladino joined the live band as the sole bassist, Eustis was moved to both keyboards and guitars, sharing duties with Alessandro Cortini and Robin Finck, respectively. After the Tension 2013 Tour, Eustis departed from the band and thus the lineup reverted to four members.
^After recording on Hesitation Marks, Pino Palladino joined the live band for the Tension 2013 Tour as the sole bassist. After the tour, Palladino departed from the band and thus the lineup reverted to four members.
^Lisa Fischer and Sharlotte Gibson joined the live band for the Tension 2013 Tour as vocalists. The duo was the first time that the Nine Inch Nails live band had consisted of members that focused solely on vocals and melodies. Fischer previously found success as a solo artist in the early 1990s, in addition to working with Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, among others.
^Sharlotte Gibson and Lisa Fischer joined the live band for the Tension 2013 Tour as vocalists. The duo was the first time that the Nine Inch Nails live band had consisted of members that focused solely on vocals and melodies. Gibson previously worked as a backing vocalist for solo artists such as Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. She later contributed backing vocals to 2017's Add Violence.
^In 1989, Martin Atkins had formed the industrial supergroup Pigface. Around the same time, he appeared in the music video for Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like a Hole", despite not playing on the track itself. Reznor was also an early collaborator in Pigface as he was involved with two songs on Pigface's 1991 debut album Gub. Shortly before Nine Inch Nails embarked on the 1991 Lollapalooza Tour, Reznor had asked Atkins to join the band on drums; however, despite rehearsal sessions, Reznor decided that Atkins was not ready, and had instead kept Jeff Ward as the band's drummer for the tour. Atkins subsequently appeared on Broken, and also received a writing credit for the song "Suck", which originally appeared on Pigface's Gub.[34]
^Keith Hillebrandt had assisted Nine Inch Nails in the studio for the Lost Highway Soundtrack in 1997. Afterwards, on David Bowie's 1997 single "I'm Afraid of Americans", Hillebrandt was credited along with Reznor, Charlie Clouser, Danny Lohner, and Dave Ogilvie as members of Nine Inch Nails.[35] Reznor, Hillebrandt, and Ogilvie were again credited as Nine Inch Nails members for remixing Puff Daddy's 1998 single "Victory". For the then-upcoming Nine Inch Nails studio album The Fragile, the live band was envisioned as having multiple keyboardists, with Hillebrandt filling one of the roles; however, the album's direction eventually changed and Clouser instead remained as the live band's keyboardist. For a singular live radio session in April 2000 (dubbed The CRC Sessions), Hillebrandt filled in on keyboards for Clouser. The performance was an acoustically-driven stripped down set, which was an early indication of the 2002 release Still. Hillebrandt then continued to work alongside Reznor, such as on Nine Inch Nails' "Deep" single (2001) and on U2's "Vertigo" single (2004).[36]
^Dave Ogilvie had worked extensively in the studio with numerous bands prior to getting involved with Nine Inch Nails (most notably Nine Inch Nails' first ever touring mates Skinny Puppy). After contributing remixes during The Downward Spiral era, and also being involved in the studio for the 1997 Lost Highway Soundtrack, Ogilvie was credited along with Reznor, Charlie Clouser, Danny Lohner, and Keith Hillebrandt as members of Nine Inch Nails on David Bowie's 1997 single "I'm Afraid of Americans".[35] Reznor, Hillebrandt, and Ogilvie were again credited as Nine Inch Nails members for remixing Puff Daddy's 1998 single "Victory". Although initial touring plans had Hillebrandt as an additional keyboardist, Ogilvie was not given a role;[36] however, he continued to contribute in the studio. Ogilvie later had done mixing duties for Nine Inch Nails' two subsequent live albums, 2002's And All That Could Have Been and 2007's Beside You in Time.
^The Nine Inch Nails official website originally announced in 2008 that Rich Fownes would be joining the live band for the Lights in the Sky Tour on bass.[32] Before any scheduled performances, however, it was revealed that Justin Meldal-Johnsen would instead be contributing on bass.[33] The circumstances of the replacement were not made public.
^Eric Avery is the bassist of the band Jane's Addiction, and he had guested live on-stage for Nine Inch Nails' song "Head Like a Hole" when the two bands toured together in 1991 for Lollapalooza. Avery was a guest again when the two bands toured together a second time in 2009 for the NIN|JA co-headlining tour. Afterwards, Avery was to join the Nine Inch Nails live band for their 2013 and 2014 tours. Before the tour began, however, he announced that he had quit the band.[37]
^Former King Crimson guitarist and singer Adrian Belew contributed to numerous Nine Inch Nails releases in the studio since 1994. Belew was scheduled to tour with Nine Inch Nails through 2013 and 2014; however, before performing in any shows, it was announced due to personal conflicts that Belew would no longer participate in the tour.[38]

Nails live performances List of Nine Inch Nails toursNotes edit For a member s release contributions only official material released by Nine Inch Nails is included Soundtracks and compilations are also included if the Nine Inch Nails track on the release was previously unreleased up to that point Promotional releases are not included since they weren t intended to be obtained by the general public For example the live version of Happiness in Slavery which is found on the Woodstock 94 Live Album is listed under Robin Finck s name since he appeared on the track and that particular song was not released elsewhere up to that point Please note that under a member s release contributions the listings refers to the actual commercial single that was released and not a particular song For example Chris Vrenna co wrote and contributed to the song The Perfect Drug in 1997 but later in 2000 The Perfect Drug was included as a b side to the commercial Into the Void single well after Vrenna had departed from the band thus both instances are listed under his name Official member of Nine Inch Nails in studio since 1988 Reznor has performed with the live band since its inception in 1988 and he has been the only constant member of the live band Atticus Ross was initially an in studio collaborator with Nine Inch Nails as he worked on nearly every project since 2005 He was also a founding member of Reznor s side project How to Destroy Angels and worked with Reznor on numerous soundtrack scores In 2016 he was made an official member of Nine Inch Nails the first person to receive that title besides Reznor Ross was included in Nine Inch Nails Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020 9 Robin Finck replaced Richard Patrick the live band s original guitarist for the Self Destruct Tour in 1994 Finck was then replaced by Kevin McMahon for a few shows in 1996 Between tours Finck performed briefly with Cirque du Soleil and then with Guns N Roses Following a four year touring hiatus the Nine Inch Nails live band reformed in 1999 for the Fragility Tour again featuring Finck contributing on guitar At the conclusion of the Fragility Tour in 2000 Finck returned to Guns N Roses and was replaced by Aaron North for Live With Teeth in 2005 There were various reports that suggested there was animosity between Finck and Reznor during the Fragility tours which may have led to Finck declining the invitation to the following tours In 2008 Finck rejoined Nine Inch Nails playing on The Slip and joining the live band for the Lights in the Sky Tour and the following Wave Goodbye Tour 10 Finck has contributed on the most tours of all the past live members playing for the Self Destruct Fragility Lights in the Sky Wave Goodbye Twenty Thirteen I Can t Seem to Wake Up Cold and Black and Infinite and U S 2022 amp U K 2022 tours 11 Finck was included in Nine Inch Nails Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020 9 Prior to the Live With Teeth Tour in 2005 Reznor held open auditions to replace live band members who had left the group during the five years between tours Alessandro Cortini reportedly fit in immediately 12 and was part of the live band for four years 13 Between tours Cortini contributed to some of the Nine Inch Nails studio material gaining co writing credits on Ghosts I IV and a performance credit on The Slip At the conclusion of the Lights in the Sky Over North South America Tour in late 2008 Cortini announced his departure from the band to pursue other music projects 14 No replacement was hired for him and the 2009 incarnation of the live band was a four piece group with the role of keyboard player shared between the four band members Cortini returned to the live band for its 2013 and 2014 tours Beginning with the I Can t Seem to Wake Up Tour Cortini began to transition to playing more guitar and bass due to the addition of Atticus Ross on keyboards and synthesizers Cortini was included in Nine Inch Nails Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020 9 Ilan Rubin was named as the drummer to succeed Josh Freese 15 Rubin played with the band for the Wave Goodbye Tour and was invited back into the band for the Twenty Thirteen Tour remaining as the band s drummer since then Rubin was included in Nine Inch Nails Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees roster in 2020 9 Alongside Trent Reznor and Ron Musarra Chris Vrenna was a member of the original three piece band formed in 1988 to support Skinny Puppy on tour He was initially the keyboardist and percussionist After Nine Inch Nails was dismissed from the tour Vrenna replaced Musarra on drums and subsequently played with the band until 1990 when he had a brief fallout with Reznor 16 Vrenna and Reznor later reconciled and Vrenna rejoined the band in 1992 for Broken and The Downward Spiral recording sessions and as a live member for the Self Destruct Tour 17 18 After Vrenna contributed to the Lost Highway Soundtrack the pair had a final falling out in 1997 In September 2022 Vrenna and former members Richard Patrick Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser took part in a Q amp A session alongside the other present members of Nine Inch Nails in Cleveland Ohio as it

Puppy on tour Nine Inch Nails were reportedly poorly received however and were asked to leave the tour after 10 dates 20 A brief video from this performance would be released as bonus footage on 1997 s Closure For subsequent live performances and tours original keyboardist Vrenna replaced Musarra on drums Musarra was thanked in the liner notes of Pretty Hate Machine as he had also possibly played drums on the demos known as the Purest Feeling bootleg Following Nine Inch Nails first performances in support of Skinny Puppy the band expanded from a three piece to a four piece band as Richard Patrick was added on guitar 6 Patrick played with the band through the conclusion of the Pretty Hate Machine Tour in 1991 including a performance at Lollapalooza After touring briefly in Europe Nine

appearing in the music videos for Broken s tracks he left the live band to form Filter He co founded Filter along with Nine Inch Nails in studio engineer Brian Liesegang Patrick was briefly reunited with Nine Inch Nails in 1996 during the Nights of Nothing showcase tour as he contributed guitar to a performance of Head Like a Hole during Nine Inch Nails set on the last of three dates 21 Although

band s first performances in support of Skinny Puppy Nine Inch Nails played a few promotional dates in late 1989 to support the release of Pretty Hate Machine Since keyboardist Gary Talpas wasn t meant to be a full time member Nick Rushe was added to the live band on keyboards instead Rushe was only part of the live band for a handful of dates in December 1989 although in that time span Nine

their keyboardist a band that both Reznor and Chris Vrenna were members of in the 1980s For Nine Inch Nails tours in support of The Jesus and Mary Chain and Peter Murphy in 1990 the band hired David Haymes to play keyboards He was eventually replaced by Lee Mars for the Hate Tour 6 23 Lee Mars contributed briefly to the live band as their keyboardist replacing David Haymes Mars performed with
