'''David Bowie''' (born David Robert Jones on January 8th, 1947) is an influential multi-instrumentalist and has remained an active musician since the 1960s. He has traversed through many genres and styles, and oftentimes has influenced, worked with, and coincided with [[Nine Inch Nails]]. In support of his 1995 ''Outside'' album, he co-headlined the ''Outside'' tour with Nine Inch Nails, and both bands would collaborate on each other's repertoire in between sets He also appears briefly in ''[[Closure]],'' chatting backstage as well as performing "[[Hurt (song)|Hurt]]" with Nine Inch Nails.
Reznor said in interviews that he played ''Low'' constantly during the recording of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' for inspiration. Incidentally, Reznor has been accused of using the main melody from Bowie's 1980 instrumental single "Crystal Japan" in Nine Inch Nails' 1994 track "[[A Warm Place]]." The two bear a striking resemblance.
