Head Like A.P. Ron Mojomick of New Jersey admired our Trent Reznor cover [A.P. 134] so much that he decided to make it a permanent addition to the back of his head via a giant tattoo. When the tattoo is completed, the only difference will lie in Reznor's eyes, which Mojomick wanted to be blue rather than brown. We're in this together now, indeed.

Citing business shenanigans and inner-band conflict, one time Marilyn Manson proteges Jack Off Jill are on hiatus after their new album, "Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers," was released on Risk/404 Records this summer. Produced by former NIN drummer Chris Vrenna, the sparkling electro-rock disc sports a great cover of the Cure's 'Love Song.'

Thanks Kristin.

NINE INCH NAILS' BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS Trent Reznor and onetime aesthetic bitch Marilyn Manson went to great lengths to degrade female fans on their various joint tours. Manson's superego-free 1998 autobio The Long Hard Road Out of Hell outlines several such encounters--including one '95 escapade that involved burning a woman's pubic hair as Reznor and Manson went spelunking, so to speak, in her womb. But perhaps the most revolting antic on that tour was when Reznor, Manson and the fine freaks in the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow held a contest to see which groupie could hold an enema the longest before ejecting into a bowl of Froot Loops--which was then supposedly consumed by Mr. Lifto, the penis strongman. Jimmy Page, the bar has been raised. JOE GROSS

NINE INCH NAILS SLATE TWO PROJECTS FOR FALL RELEASE

"THINGS FALLING APART" features remixes of songs from "THE FRAGILE"
and Live DVD/VHS covers the "Fragility v2.0" North American tour

New York, NY, August 25, 2000 - nine inch nails announce today the release of two projects this fall ­ a remix CD and a live DVD/VHS. Entitled "THINGS FALLING APART," the remix record is slated for a mid-October release and features unreleased material and new remixes from nine inch nails' multi-platinum release "THE FRAGILE." The as-yet-untitled live DVD/VHS is scheduled for a mid-November release and features footage from nine inch nails' visually groundbreaking "Fragility v2.0" concert tour. Both projects were produced by nine inch nails' Trent Reznor. The untitled DVD/VHS marks the first DVD release from nine inch nails and documents the tour that covered 43 North American cities from April 12 through June 18, 2000 to sold-out audiences and rave reviews.

The band's official website, www.nin.com, will feature exclusive news and sneak previews of the remix record and DVD/VHS leading up to their release. The site currently offers a comprehensive archive of exclusive audio and video content from their 1999/2000 tours as well as images, streaming videos, an eMix of "The Big Come Down," and more.

nine inch nails recently received a nomination for a 2000 MTV Video Music Award in the "Breakthrough Video" category for "Into The Void". The track is the second single released from nine inch nails' critically acclaimed CD "THE FRAGILE."

Joining Trent Reznor and Co. to offer their own remixes will be Adrian Sherwood (the Cure, Afrika Bambaataa) and Dave Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, David Bowie), among others. "The Wretched," "The Frail" and "Starfuckers, Inc." (in three different versions) are among the Fragile tracks being reconstructed.

Revolver: So what else is pissing you off?

Durst: Pissing me off? Trent Reznor is pissing me off. I'm a huge NIN fan; pretty hate machine was a huge part of my life. Big. Trent really took industrial music to another level. So to have him smashing a plate that's got my image on in his "Starfuckers Inc." video for no other reason than jealousy is really small. I understand his record isn't doing what he'd hoped it would, but that doesn't mean he has to bring everyone else down with him. Despite everything, I'd like to collaborate with him. That would be fantastic and our fans would love it. But instead, he's out there talking shit, and he's hurting himself.

Revolver: How did you feel when you saw the video?

Durst: You know, it didn't bother me that much at first, because he also smashed his own face, and Marilyn Manson's face. Courtney Love was also really brutalized.

Revolver: Rumor has it you've written a direct response to Trent on your new album.

Durst: It's just in the hook, "You want to fuck me like an animal/You want to burn me on the inside/you like to think I'm your perfect drug/But just know that nothin' you do will bring you closer to me". It's a parody of some of his stuff. At the same time I wanted to make a statement about the word 'fuck'. I say 'fuck' in the song 46 times. It's fuck everything until it numbs you.

Revolver: Or you blow your rage out of your system. That's one way of dealing with anger -- just let it out.

Durst: Yeah, Trent's probably going to be really happy that it got to me that bad. It's difficult, but I try not to dwell on what people like Trent or Courtney think...

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame has previously mentioned in an interview with Apple that he was interested in providing the soundtrack for DOOM 3. AMDZone managed to get John Carmack's latest take on the soundtrack status:

After the crowd had left, I asked John Carmack what the status of Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Doom 3 was. Apparently, Trent very much wants to do the music for Doom 3. Carmack added that a title soundtrack would also be something they might do for Doom 3, such as done with Quake III, as well as an opening theme like the Quake II introduction sequence. The music should be more ambient as well than id's two previous games, Quake II and Quake III. All those who are worried about not being able to hear enemies in the game can breathe a sigh of relief, as this will also not be an issue with Doom 3's music
