“I've been listening to nine inch nails for a year to two before I finally got the chance to see them live with peel it back. It was by first concert ever, and it was the night of my 18th birthday. It couldn't have been more perfect with trents amazing performance. There's no other artist that hits as hard for me as nine inch nails, giving them a special place in my heart and ears. Along with the most fun night of my life next to my brother, we made a friend in the pit who I'm looking forward to seeing again coming up at Austin this year.”

"I have been listening to NIN since I was 11-12 years old and the Peel It Back Tour was the first show I’ve ever attended. I first fell in love with NIN after hearing The Downward Spiral and it was that album that almost gave me closure that I wasn’t alone in feeling the way I did. I remember being at the concert and hearing Reptile beginning to play, I felt like I genuinely lost my shit because I was like omg I’m actually here, and I’m actually hearing all of my favorite songs live. Everything about this concert felt so surreal, the sound, the energy, and the performance was perfect. After the show I bought that red NIN hoodie with the few leftover bucks I had and cherished it the whole way home because it was the only item I had gotten that day."

"I've been a NIN fan since high school in the mid 00s, but this was my first time having money to go to the shows, and I went all out. I illustrated not one but two songs off Year Zero, printed hundreds of zines, and shared them with other fans at each show I went to. I put out free downloads for others to make their own, and issues started appearing at other shows globally. It's been amazing to watch. I'm just so thankful that NIN gave me the gift of passionate messages that I've been able to transmute to further inspire others in our current dark times. The commuNINity has been such an astoundingly good group of people, I am so proud to be one of us! If I could say anything to TR, it would be this: the artist in me sees the artist in you. I have so much love for you not because I know you, but because you helped me know myself. Thank you for all of this, for everything. 🖤"

"I've been listening to NIN for about 22 years now, 2014 in Dallas was my first show tho I was always shy to go to more concerts. It wasn't until PIB where I finally went to more shows, even took a risk and went to the final 2 nights in LA by myself. That was an incredible trip. I'll always be thankful for Trent, Atticus, and everyone else who made all these songs possible. I relate to a lot of the songs unfortunately but I look at Trent and how he got out of that spiral and it gives me a feeling that I can do it too."
