Allow me to share in Axl Rosenberg's joy. Today, Trent Reznor tweeted that his longtime NIN collaborator, guitarist Robin Finck is back in the fold with Nine Inch Nails.
Reznor announced the Nine Inch Nails reunion a few months back, but Finck's name was noticeably absent. I guess they worked it out because today Reznor tweeted:
It just didn't feel like @nineinchnails without Robin Finck. Now it does. twitter.com/trent_reznor/s…

Lest ye think this is a one-off jam, Finck practically confirmed the news:
Time to get my ducks in a row. Look for me at a crossing near you.

Finck has long been the most exciting member of NIN to watch on stage so it's great to see him back in the fold. On a sadder note, bassist Eric Avery had to drop out of the band due to not being able to commit to touring. Avery took to his Facebook to announce his departure:
“its with very mixed emotions i tell you all that im pulling out of NIN. i know. its been a tough call and i don’t know if its the right one. but i really want to focus on my musical life here in la, on film work in particular. as the tour dates kept growing… i just got overwhelmed. i just got home from a year of heavy travel with garbage, the idea of leaving town for another year and a half, and with all the intensity that nails demands… fortunately my friend Trent understands all this and appreciated my pulling the plug now instead of deep into 2013 and 14. go get em gentlemen.”
NIN have festival shows lined up through the summer.
