John R. "Johnny" Cash[2] (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), born J. R. Cash, was an American singer-songwriter, actor,[3] and author,[3] who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.[4] Although he is primarily remembered as a country music artist, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. Late in his career, Cash covered songs by several rock artists, among them the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails[5][6] and the synthpop band Depeche Mode.[6][7][8]
Johnny Cash was known for his deep, distinctive bass-baritone voice;[9][10][11] for the "boom-chicka-boom" freight train sound of his Tennessee Three backing band; for his rebelliousness,[12][13] coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor;[9] for providing free concerts inside prison walls;[14][15] and for his dark performance clothing, which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black".[16] He traditionally started his concerts by saying, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."[17][18] and usually following it up with his standard "Folsom Prison Blues."
Much of Cash's music, especially that of his later career, echoed themes of sorrow, moral tribulation and redemption.[9][19] His signature songs include "I Walk the Line", "Folsom Prison Blues", "Ring of Fire", "Get Rhythm" and "Man in Black". He also recorded humorous numbers, such as "One Piece at a Time" and "A Boy Named Sue"; a duet with his future wife, June Carter, called "Jackson"; as well as railroad songs including "Hey, Porter" and "Rock Island Line".[20]
Cash, a devout but troubled Christian,[21][22] has been characterized as a "lens through which to view American contradictions and challenges."[23][24][25] A Biblical scholar,[3][26][27] he penned a Christian novel entitled Man in White,[28][29] and he made a spoken word recording of the entire New King James Version of the New Testament.[30][31] Even so, Cash declared that he was "the biggest sinner of them all", and viewed himself overall as a complicated and contradictory man.[32][33] Accordingly,[34] Cash is said to have "contained multitudes", and has been deemed "the philosopher-prince of American country music".[35][36]

AUG 12/ 2009 : NIN Taipei Tour
九吋釘樂團 2009年台北演唱會
如果你的搖滾字典還沒有九吋釘,
還有幾個月的時間讓你好好復習!
因為,注意了!九吋釘要來了!
簡單地說,
當馬利連曼森(Marilyn Manson)
都要向九吋釘首腦Trent Reznor叫聲「師父!」的時候,
爭搶誰是當代最偉大的搖滾樂團,
其實沒有多大意義。
因為,你們都是NIN的追隨者!
說起Nine Inch Nails(九吋釘樂團),以鬼才人物Trent Reznor支手主理的這支工業金屬巨構,他的傳奇性,在電子/工業/金屬各流派裡於90年代即將來臨時掀起一波革命性的巨浪!如果要拿其他領域同時期的搖滾英雄相提並論,那就好似同樣發跡於80末期的Grunge之於Nirvana,將Madchester轉換成Brit-pop新動能的Stone Roses,我們若問90年代另類搖滾何能如此百花齊放,成軍20年的Nine Inch Nails,絕對是不假他人思索的興風作浪者。
首張專輯《Pretty Hate Machine》為搖滾樂注入帶電的工業搖滾,引爆搖滾樂迷新的聽覺震撼,20年來,由靈魂人物Trent Reznor帶領的一人樂團Nine Inch Nails憑著放肆狂野的暴戾工業金屬風格以及撒旦式的黑暗音樂氛圍,在另類樂迷的心目中建立起無可動搖的經典地位。
隨之而來,92年和95年「最佳重金屬樂團」兩度獲得葛萊美獎,九吋釘至今一共得到十二度葛萊美提名,放眼這項以流行樂為最大基準的音樂獎項,在音色及演出視覺效果屢屢創新的NIN都不得不讓葛萊美讓出位置。1999年的第四張專輯《The Fragile》豪奪告示牌流行專輯榜冠軍,嚇壞一群衛道樂評人士!
在'89~'05之間,NIN總是讓樂迷等得望穿秋水,但Trent Reznor的新創意總讓大家大喊等得很值得,自2005年起,NIN也開啟了創團以來的密集發表期,其中08年的《The Slip》則是繼Radiohead在網路推出「隨你付」之後,首位擁抱數位下載的金屬悍將,甚至主動上傳種子(Bit Torrent)給p2p程式向外放送。也許有人覺得怪,怎會做出如此幾近「棄守唱片銷售」的手法呢?結果恰好相反,NIN的唱片銷量卻未因此大幅衰退,每一場NIN的演出都是如此的懾人,現場是獨無僅有的感受,專輯則是另一種典藏的需要。
縱橫20年的九吋釘,總算被台灣樂迷盼到。稍早,傳出NIN極有可能在這兩年密集的巡迴後解散,(別跟我說「一人首腦樂隊怎麼會有解散這回事?」…有的!)如果你這回錯過九吋釘…,我想,你的搖滾字典必備的那頁,就要永久殘缺了。
(某樂迷說: 更不用說Trent Reznor這位未來必定和Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Patti Smith這些偉大前輩並列,屬於我門這個世代,到了21世紀仍然走在最前面的搖滾先鋒。)

Nine Inch Nails is an American industrial rock project, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, Reznor is the only official member of Nine Inch Nails and remains solely responsible for its direction.[1] NIN's music straddles a wide range of genres, while retaining a characteristic sound using electronic instruments and processing. After recording a new album, Reznor usually assembles a live band to perform with him. The touring band features a revolving lineup that often rearranges songs to fit a live setting. On stage, NIN often employs visual elements to accompany performances, which frequently include light shows.[2]
Underground music audiences warmly received Nine Inch Nails in its early years. Reznor produced several highly influential records in the 1990s that achieved widespread popularity; many Nine Inch Nails songs became radio hits,[3] two Nine Inch Nails recordings won Grammy Awards, and have reached record sales exceeding over 20 million albums worldwide,[4] with 10.5 million sales certified in the US alone.[5] In 1997, Reznor appeared in Time magazine's list of the year's most influential people, and Spin magazine described him as "the most vital artist in music."[6] In 2004, Rolling Stone placed Nine Inch Nails at 94 on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.[7] Despite this acclaim, the band has had several feuds with the corporate side of the recording industry. In 2007, these corporate entanglements resulted in Reznor announcing that Nine Inch Nails would split from its label and release future material independently.[8]
Since 1989, Nine Inch Nails has made eight major studio releases. The most recent releases, Ghosts I–IV and The Slip, both released in 2008, were released under Creative Commons licenses. Both were initially released digitally, with physical releases coming later. The digital release of The Slip was made available completely free of charge. NIN has been nominated for twelve Grammy Awards and won twice for the songs "Wish" and "Happiness in Slavery", in 1992 and 1995 respectively.

Certain techniques and styles can be found throughout NIN's catalog. Songs such as "Wish" (sample (info)), and "The Day the World Went Away" (sample (info)) exhibit terraced dynamics. Reznor's singing follows a similar pattern, frequently moving from whispers to screams. The band's music also occasionally features complex time signatures, notably in "The Collector", from With Teeth,[97] and concert favorite "March of the Pigs".[98] Reznor also uses noise and distortion in his song arrangements, and incorporates dissonance with chromatic melody and/or harmony. These techniques are all used in the song "Hurt" (sample (info)), which features a highly dissonant tritone played on guitar during the verses, a B5#11, emphasized when Reznor sings the eleventh note on the word "I" every time the B/E# dyad is played.[99] "Closer" (sample (info)) concludes with a chromatic piano motif: the same melody that first appears during the chorus of Piggy, and then recurs on the title track of The Downward Spiral.[97] On The Fragile, Reznor revisits this technique of repeating a motif multiple times throughout different songs, either on a different musical instrument, with a transposed harmony, or in an altered tempo.[100] He also has used software to alter his voice in several songs, such as in "Starfuckers Inc." and "Burn".
