All I know is that NIN did awesome music in Quake 1 & 2.
Nine Inch Nails, well Trent Reznor, did the ambient music and some sound effects for Quake. He had nothing to do with the music in Quake 2, or Doom 1/2, or Doom 3. And I do admit the ambient music in Quake was really damn good, fit well, and I love the fact that whenever I shoot a scrag with a nailgun I'm hearing Trent Reznor say "Noooh, noooh, noooh". But the only id game he had direct impact on was Quake, and had nothing to do with Doom 1/2, or Quake 2/3.
That said, I never cared much for Nine Inch Nails. I still like Pretty Hate Machine, and The Downward Spiral isn't bad, but he just comes off as whiny. When With Teeth came out, and I heard "The Hand that Feeds" it just sounded like a forty year old millionaire reading out of a sixteen year old girls diary. The same thing I apply to Marilyn Manson, although he doesn't have the musical talent that Reznor does. It's just quite a bit of melodramatic bitching that they have no reason to do. Reznor can still make decent industrial music, and I would say he should stick to that. Keep his mouth shut, and make music. Anything that comes out of his mouth at this point is just ridiculous whinging on the past and trying to capitalize on teenage depression, which he is thirty years past.
