Rex also did some of NIN’s final shows with Numan and credits him heavily ;)
I like NIN overall. Some creative stuff in that boy’s head (and some decidedly lib stuff too unfortunately.) But he defined an entire genre. His Crow cover of Joy Division’s “Dead Souls” blew away the original IMO. His stuff on The Downward Spiral was just insane. “Big Man with a Gun” will always be one of my faves. I am amazed how badly it was misinterpeted by the press.
ALMOST NOBODY got his point.
(For non NIN fans... if you look it up, don’t say you were not warned ;)
The Downward Spiral was good, but I liked his remixed album even more: Further Down The Spiral.
