You know that feeling where you find a new band you haven't heard of, then you discover them and you realize they have like three albums out? To me that's a great feeling because you can't wait to digest and absorb them. Well, that was happening with, like, 30 bands to me in college. It felt very inspiring to be a music fan.}}</ref> [[Adam Ant]],<ref name=wapo_klein /> [[Coil (band)|Coil]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Quietus {{!}} Features {{!}} Trent Reznor On Coil & Nine Inch Nails, Plus Recoiled Review|url=https://thequietus.com/articles/14600-trent-reznor-interview-coil-nine-inch-nails|access-date=2021-01-14|website=The Quietus|date=February 27, 2014 |language=en-us}}</ref> and [[Soft Cell]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Reznor|first1=Trent|title=Radio One Rock Show hosted by Trent Reznor|url=http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=88|website=The NIN Hotline|date=April 5, 2005|access-date=May 23, 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022213807/http://www.theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=88|archive-date=October 22, 2012}}</ref> Reznor and Vrenna saw [[Jane's Addiction]] in 1988 during the making of ''Pretty Hate Machine'' and were influenced by the live presentation and raw rock sound of the band.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3skqyLqDoA&t=421s Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin] Interview with Trent Reznor, 2023-06-16.</ref> Reznor has toured with some of his influences, including a brief tour opening for Skinny Puppy in 1988.<ref name=AMG /><ref name=sfgate_dushane>{{cite news|last1=DuShane|first1=Tony|title=Skinny Puppy / Among industrial music band's fans are Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson, and once you're in, it's a lifelong commitment|url=http://www.sfgate.com/thingstodo/article/Skinny-Puppy-Among-industrial-music-band-s-fans-2585209.php|access-date=December 17, 2014|work=[[San Francisco Gate]]|date=June 21, 2007|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170909005838/http://www.sfgate.com/thingstodo/article/Skinny-Puppy-Among-industrial-music-band-s-fans-2585209.php|archive-date=September 9, 2017}}</ref> In 1995, Nine Inch Nails went on tour with [[David Bowie]], who, along with [[Pink Floyd]], had been a significant influence on ''[[The Downward Spiral]]''.<ref name=AMG /> In 2006, Nine Inch Nails went on tour with Bauhaus, on their Summer Amphitheatre Tour.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.nin.com/tour/previous4.html |title = Nine Inch Nails: Live: With Teeth 2006 (5_06 β 7_06) |publisher = Nine Inch Nails |access-date = 2008-02-10 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080205073504/http://www.nin.com/tour/previous4.html |archive-date = 2008-02-05 }}</ref>
