Changes

Some of the very first Nine Inch Nails shows were opening slots for Skinny Puppy along select [[VIVIsectVI Tour|VIVIsectVI]] tour dates in 1988 and featured material from ''[[Pretty Hate Machine]]'' and ''[[Purest Feeling (halo)|Purest Feeling]].'' [[Trent Reznor]] has claimed his "first song" "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]" is a "total rip-off" of Skinny Puppy's 1986 single "Dig It" in a radio interview. The two do bear a bit of resemblance.

Skinny Puppy's vocalist/front-man Nivek Ogre has performed live on stage alongside Reznor in the band [[Pigface]], most notably sharing a duet of the song "[[Suck]]" which was recorded on video. In 2005, Ogre sang the song "[[Supernaut]]," often attributed to Reznor, with the band [[Ministry]] at a live show in New York City. Rumors exist that Ogre and Reznor have met socially in recent times, but it is unlikely to expect any collaboration.
