Contents
A Perfect Circle
A Perfect Circle was formed in 1999 by Billy Howerdel, a guitar tech for NIN, Tool, and Smashing Pumpkins (he bears some resemblance to Billy Corgan). Although Howerdel had originally envisioned having a female vocalist, Maynard James Keenan offered his vocal abilities to the project after hearing some demos. Danny Lohner, Jeordie White, and Josh Freese are among the other members. APC opened for NIN during Fragility v2.0 in 2000.
Army of Anyone
Army of Anyone is the new Filter, with Richard Patrick and the old members of Stone Temple Pilots. Their first record came out late 2006.
Black Light Burns
As the successor to The Damning Well, Black Light Burns also includes Danny Lohner on guitar/keyboards/sound design and Josh Freese on drums. However, like NIN, this is mainly Wes Borland's project in the studio, with the other musicians serving for the live component.
The Damning Well
The Damning Well is a rock band comprising several NIN members: Richard Patrick on vocals, Danny Lohner on bass, and Josh Freese on drums, as well as Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit on guitar. So far, they have only one released song, "Awakening", on the Underworld soundtrack (2003). The rest of the album they have recorded has no signs of ever being released.
Filter
Filter was formed by Richard Patrick after his departure from NIN. They have 3 albums.
Guns N' Roses
Robin Finck and Josh Freese have played for Guns N' Roses. Various hidden references to GNR exist in nin.com's "current" photos.
nearLY
nearLY is Jerome Dillon's solo project. The album reminder (2005) is inspired by Dillon's recurring dream.
Nine Inch Dix
A Californian hip-hop group created by Snoop Dogg in 2004. Their first album Cumming Soon will come out in summer 2007. In the words of Snoop Dogg,
- Nine Inch Dix was a group that we created years ago at the studio with Dr. Dre. Me, Mel-Man, a couple of other cats, just because we liked the Nine Inch Nails and we was like “We need to be the first black rock group called the Nine Inch Dix.” We was just clowning around and all we used to do was take old school songs, and put our own twist on it, like “I’d Rather Fuck With U”, the shit Eazy-E and all them niggas used to do back then? Take songs and then just put nasty shit on them.
- The Nine Inch Dix is creating a fan base and really making some good music that’s good for the soul and good for the heart, because it’s shit that niggas couldn’t normally say! We’re saying when we’re the Nine Inch Dix, we don’t give a fuck!
- Snoop Dogg, Soopafly, Lil Half Dead, Jelly Roll, Mel-Man, Sean Lewan, Lil G, LT Hutton… it’ a lot of members man! We got members man! Cause on certain songs, niggas just slide by and get to singing, then nigga you in the group! That’s what it is! Oh yeah, and you gotta be nine inches though, but that ain’t for me to tell, the bitches gotta say that! [1]
Puscifer
Maynard James Keenan's side project, Puscifer, has 2 officially released songs: "REV 22:20" and "The Undertaker (Renholdër Mix)" on the Underworld soundtracks. A remix of the former, "REV 22:20 (REV 4:20 Mix)" by Charlie Clouser, was on the Saw II soundtrack. Further work is in progress with Danny Lohner, Lustmord, and others.
Tapeworm
After The Downward Spiral tours in 1996, Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser approached Trent with music ideas that Trent felt did not fit in with his vision of the band, but instead agreed to collaborate and work on the material as a side project, with each member having equal say in decisions. The band eventually became a supergroup of sorts including, among others, Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle), Page Hamilton (Helmet), and Phil Anselmo (Pantera). Over time, the band began to break down, partly due to label issues and partly due to Trent's lack of interest in the project and announced the band was dead in 2004. However, it has been rumored that the tracks of Maynard's Puscifer project are renamed and reworked versions of the Tapeworm tracks.
Tweaker
Chris Vrenna's electronic/jazz project Tweaker performed the Doom 3 title theme instead of NIN. Tweaker has 2 full-length albums, with a new one set for 2007.
Queens Of The Stone Age
Queens Of The Stone Age opened for NIN during the winter leg of the With Teeth arena tour. Dave Grohl has played for both bands in the studio. Reznor has provided guest vocals for QOTSA's 2007 record, Era Vulgaris.[2]
