Nine Inch Nails Ask Fans To Create 'Ghost I-IV' Visuals

Nine Inch Nails are inviting fans to create videos for the tracks on their new instrumental album 'Ghost I-IV'.

Trent Reznor has teamed up with YouTube to host a 'film festival' for the album asking participants to make clips for the songs they feel most strongly about.

A team including Reznor will then choose a select number of videos to be aired on the video-sharing site.

In a statement on Nin.com Trent Reznor explained: "The concept is for you to take whatever tracks you feel inspired by from Ghosts… and create what you feel should accompany them visually."

"This isn't a contest and you don't win elaborate prizes - it's meant to be an experiment in collaboration and a chance for us to interact beyond the typical one-way artist-to-fan relationship."

Yea, and someone's played every riff that you know before you were born. Should you give up guitar?

i'm not a massive NIN fan but this should be fun

im watching that southpark episode AT THIS MOMENT, im from holland what are the odds it's on on the other side of the planet? you must be dutch xD

[guitaristx11]

im not big NIN fan, but i love music like this. i got the first 9 tracks free from the website and they're great!

[kungfuwikawika]

pffft, they just know they don't wanna spend money on a real music video.
Haha, kidding.

Sounds like an odd idea. But i'm sure they'll be some pretty cool videos made.

[Broken_Drum]

These aren't being used as music videos. Just films to accompany the music and will be shown on Youtube.

[strat0blaster]

Say what you will in terms of hating on this, but it's a damn good idea. Mudvayne did it and had great success with it, and honestly - what's cooler than getting YOUR art attatched to your favorite band's album or songs? It's awesome, and I hope that it's the beginning of a trend.

[Seymore190]

They are going to get some awesome stuff submitted by the fans. I think that this is a great idea.

Checkered.

[Shpongled]

I'm not really a NIN fan, but they've been doing some cool stuff lately with how they are distributing their music and getting their fans involved.
