Jane's is definitely up to something, not sure with Trent but...

From www.6767.com

The Jane's Addiction Site is slowly becoming more active. I strongly advise you to join the mailing list for any updates regarding Jane's Addiction.

REZNOR Confirms JANE'S ADDICTION Tour Rumors, Says It's Time To Make NIN Disappear For A While - Feb. 16, 2009

NINE INCH NAILS mainman Trent Reznor has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"Towards the beginning of my career in NINE INCH NAILS, our biggest break came in the form of an invitation to perform a series of shows with JANE'S ADDICTION. These performances essentially created and defined the term 'alternative' rock in the U.S., created an ongoing festival franchise that is still thriving (Lollapalooza), set the stage for NIRVANA to shift popular taste a few months later, and were really fucking FUN to play and attend ? truly the best times I've had. The shows were epic. So epic, they propelled NIN to the 'next level' (whatever that means), but caused JANE'S to implode. The band broke up at the end of that tour.

"Fast forward to the present. Corporate rock STILL sucks. A friend tells me they saw the original JANE'S lineup play a tiny show in L.A. that was unbelievable. I break out my JANE'S records and am amazed by how vital they sound. These guys were the real deal and in this current climate mostly dominated by poseurs and pussies, it was refreshing to hear something that sounded dangerous, volatile, beautiful and SINCERE.

"E-mails were sent, phone calls were made, dinner was arranged, ideas were discussed and the next thing I know we're in the studio experimenting. We laugh, we get to know each other, we cry, we yell, we almost quit, we record LOTS of guitar solos, we discuss, we actually begin to all communicate, we yell some more, we become FRIENDS, we laugh again and we do some great things. I get to see first-hand why they broke up all those years ago but I also get the chance to see four distinct personalities that become an INCREDIBLE band when they're in the same room.

"In NIN world, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of our first releases. I've been thinking for some time now it's time to make NIN disappear for a while. Last year's 'Lights in the Sky' tour was something I'm quite proud of and seems like the culmination of what I could pull off in terms of an elaborate production. It was also quite difficult to pull off technically and physically night after night and left us all a bit dazed. After some thought, we decided to book a last run of shows across the globe this year. The approach to these shows is quite different from last year ? much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted. Fun for us and a different way for you to see us and wave goodbye. I reached out to JANE'S to see if they'd want to join us across the U.S. and we all felt it could be a great thing. Will it work? Will it resonate in the marketplace? Who knows. Is there big record label marketing dollars to convince you to attend? Nope. Does it feel right to us and does it seem like it will be fun for us and you? Yes it does.

"Look for tour dates soon and I hope to see you out there."

So they're gonna tour together this year and then NIN is disbanding for awhile.

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Now I gotta save up to see Pearl Jam and NIN. Shit.

[D]

Sounds awesome!

I need to give Janes Addiction a chance. I never really tried to get into them.

I'll consider seeing this tour if they stay out of arenas, go the theatre route and keep it
as stripped down as possible.

Was never a huge Janes fan (well, Farrell to be precise) but understand their influence.
Seeing Navarro play is worth the price of admission for me - easily my favorite guitar player to emerge from the LA underground scene of that era..

An interview with Trent Reznor...

Nine Inch Nails

Craig Mathieson

February 13, 2009

TRENT REZNOR is listening to Britney Spears. His many fans need not worry, however: it's not a voluntary decision. The industrial music icon is ensconced in a Los Angeles rehearsal facility, engaged in pre-production for the next stage of Nine Inch Nails' world tour, while in the room next door Spears and her dancers are undertaking their own preparation.

"I can hear the thumping low end of Britney Spears," notes Reznor, who has such a dry sense of humour you're not entirely sure when it's safe to laugh. "It's been a treat having them here the whole time we've been here."

Nine Inch Nails - essentially Reznor alone in the studio with a dedicated backing band live - pre-date the pop icon and they'll outlast her as well. Since the group's 1989 debut, Pretty Hate Machine, they've been the catalyst for the movement of industrial music and hardened synth pop into the top 40, using debased drum-machine rhythms and shrieking keyboards to turn out unexpected hits.

Nine Inch Nails have released eight studio albums, as well as various remix discs, which combined have sold more than 20 million copies. Reznor was one of the iconic figureheads of alternative rock in the 1990s but unlike many of his contemporaries, he has remained creatively vital and defiantly popular. On February 22, Nine Inch Nails headline the Soundwave festival at Eastern Creek Raceway, the same outdoor venue they appeared at 14 years ago as part of the ill-fated Alternative Nation festival (they also play the Hordern Pavilion on February 24).

Time has not wearied him. Indeed, since an absence between 2001 and 2005 while Reznor dealt with substance abuse and rediscovered the confidence to make music while straight, Nine Inch Nails have grown increasingly productive. These days the 43-year-old is happy to be defined by his workload.

"I wake up at 6.30 in the morning and go to bed at one in the morning and every second of every day is planned out," he says. "I'm trying to do the best thing I can do and I hope you like it but if you don't, that's OK. I'm not trying to convince you to like it."

As well as producing an album for an undisclosed act, Reznor has been reshaping Nine Inch Nails. Drummer Josh Freese departed the fold recently because of family commitments, with Ilan Rubin (Lostprophets) replacing him, while keyboardist Alessandro Cortini ("one of the world's most miserable people", Reznor suggests without warning) has also dropped out. Reznor will now double as frontman and keyboardist, a decision based on shaking up the band's live output.

"On last year's tour we made a really complex, technically advanced production that was fun to work on and fun to play but by the end of it, it became musically stale," he says. "It was like a play: pretty much the same every time. After a while I found that it became difficult to stay present throughout the show as I knew it inside and out. I could sleepwalk through the set."

A large part of Reznor's recent motivation has been his split from the music business and his belief that in the digital age, music is a creative asset, not a commodity. Last year, free of an increasingly fractious record deal, Nine Inch Nails initially released two albums - a collection of mood fragments entitled Ghosts I-IV and then a strong new studio set dubbed The Slip - through the band's expansive website (physical releases in a variety of formats followed). The Slip remains free to download to anyone who visits nin.com.

"A few years ago I had a bitter pill to swallow: you're not going to make money selling records any more," Reznor says. "That's coming from a history of making a living doing that. Once you realise - through the fault of record company greed and bad technology decisions in the past - that people think music is free, you just have to get over it. "No one can change that. There are whole generations now who believe music should be free. You have to move forward."

Since then, Reznor has grown evangelical about the possibilities afforded by the internet. Multi-track files that make available all the studio parts used to compile the band's music are made available for download, with fans encouraged to make their own mixes. Recently, live footage shot at three 2008 shows was also released, allowing entire concerts to be cut together by devotees.

"I get to the point where I feel I'm finished with it," Reznor says. "I'll play it live, live with it, maybe reinterpret it at some point, but in this context I want people to have it. I'm not afraid of what you could find in there and I don't care if you put the sounds in your own music. I'm done with it. There's no secret to be lost."

Artistic freedom, Reznor believes, is power. "Has the world ended because I gave away my master recordings online? No," he says. "More people heard it, more people interacted with it. Mission accomplished."

After next tour, things just might be over and done for Nin.
Trent posted a long essay under the title" A note from Trent and a wave goodbye" in Nin.com.

Very saddening if he retires as a recording artist. Which doesn't feel as unlikely as I'd like it to.
He began talking about focusing solely on producing as early as 1996, so. I selfishly hope he doesn't have much fun producing Jane's addiction!

[GNR4L]

I think more of it as a long vacation then retiring.  Who know's he might get that itch to play again after a couple years.

[JuicySwoos]

I really dig how Reznor provides for a variety of formats available.  Even though he has embraced the new digital world, he respects sound quality as well by providing  lossless downloads and vinyl releases.

[GNR4L]

NIN is playing the Sasqautch Music Festival May 25 Sunday at the Gorge in Quincy WA !!!! since im from the beautiful Pacific Northwest i'll be attending.  Tix go on sale Sat Feb 28.

Yes, especially since ( imo at least ) The Slip was rather weak. Trent has come with so much better music than The Slip that I would feel weird if he decided to stop NIN after that particular album.
