Josh Freese returns to Nine Inch Nails
Meanwhile, Nine Inch Nails has apparently confirmed the departure of Ilan Rubin from her formation and has shared an image of the former FoosBaterista, Foos, Josh Freesewith the message “Come on, fuck”. This seems to confirm that Freese will be the new Nine Inch Nails drummer.
This will mark Freese’s second stage with Nine Inch Nails, since he previously served as a drummer of the band between 2005 and 2008, before being ironically replaced by Ilan Rubin.
Freese has since commented on his return to Nine Inch Nails: “Leaving Nine Inch Nails at the end of 2008 was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve had to take. My wife and I were waiting for our third child, and I knew I needed to get away from touring life to be at home with my family. Nin was a band that made me get off the stage every night thinking: ‘It was incredible! We ravage it! ‘ And it wasn’t just a feeling, it was a certainty. That level of intensity, pride and satisfaction after each concert is something that I have rarely experienced anywhere else. “
He continued: “Now, go back with Trent and the team, helping them to do what they know best to do night after night, it is something that excites me very much. Being part of that energy is an incredible sensation. If you have the opportunity to see one of these concerts in the next six weeks, I promise you will be unforgettable. I hope to see you out there. “
