Changes

'''Skinny Puppy''' was a notable industrial band from Vancouver, Canada. The band formed in early 1982 and rose as a pioneering force in industrial music, combining the ferocity of punk with the experimentation, noise, and theatrics of the budding electronic movement. The band split after the grueling recording of ''The Process'' , but reformed in 2000. The band then announced that its 2023 tour would be its last, and disbanded following the tour.

The very first [[Nine Inch Nails]] live shows were opening slots for Skinny Puppy along select [[VIVIsectVI Tour|VIVIsectVI]] tour dates in 1988 and featured songs in their early pre-release demo state, as heard on the ''[[Purest Feeling (album)|Purest Feeling]]'' live rehearsal recording. [[Trent Reznor]] has claimed in a radio interview that 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 at some point in recent timesthe years following, but it is was unlikely to expect result in any collaboration.

Reznor has also worked extensively with [[Dave “Rave” Ogilvie]], a one-time permanent fixture in Skinny Puppy as producer and band member. On August 10, 2007, Skinny Puppy was featured on [[nin.com]] in a photograph taken by Reznor at the Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary.
