Thus were the words of Reznor’s bandmate and close friend Daniel Lohner. Reznor married girlfriend and former West Indian Girl singer Mariqueen Maandig on Saturday in Los Angeles. In what seems like a sort of adorable early retirement, both have recently quit or retired from their bands and should have plenty of time for the honeymoon victory lap. NIN fans don’t fret all day though, while your man may be off the market, he has discussed more music in the future. (Via: SPIN)
In what is sure to put a smile, or at least a light smirk, on the faces of Goths the world over, Gary Numan told The Quietus that he and Trent Reznor, CEO of Nine Inch Nails Incorporated, are set to record a few tracks. Notes Numan, “Probably just a few songs to start with and see how it goes on. It’ll be cool.” Numan, who recently made an appearance onstage with NIN at one of their final shows, also said how surprised he was to find the NIN family so warm and jovial.”It was was just really warm and friendly, and Nine Inch Nails and warm and friendly don’t necessarily go together!” That said, is it possible that the collabo between two of the most morbid, synth obsessed musical icons could result in a Yahowa 13 record full of peace, love and guyliner tunes?

Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor has declared NIN’s touring days done and over with. We highly recommend fans check out NIN’s last ever tour dates before Reznor holes up in his basement for the rest of his life.

Additionally, he says he’d “never want to be Gene Simmons, an old man who puts on makeup to entertain kids, like a clown going to work.” We hate to break it to you, Trent, but Gene Simmons has always been a man who puts on makeup to entertain kids. And you can’t even see the wrinkles under all that face paint! (via Rolling Stone)
Trent Reznor may be currently performing an act of kindness — after all, raising almost a million dollars for someone’s heart transplant gets you points with the guy upstairs — but in the new issue of UK magazine Mojo, Reznor unleashes some not-so-nice words about former protégé Marilyn Manson.

Man, we’re updating all of yesterday’s news it seems like. First it was Bob Dylan who didn’t write the poem that is being auctioned as such, and then Lex Records said Mike Patton is not working with Watchmen author Alan Moore. But if we are to leave you with one update this week, it would be the feel good story of Trent Reznor helping a fan raise over $260,000 for a much needed heart transplant.
