"I have to admit I find it mildly irritating for to debut in this fashion before feeling it has been properly realized," Reznor wrote. "Vacant" had been performed live regularly during A PERFECT CIRCLE's debut tour, a move that had annoyed Reznor, who made his feelings clear at the time in a post on NIN's official web site. The music for "Vacant" was written by Lohner and rearranged by Clouser, with lyrics and melody by Keenan and chorus and backing vocals by Reznor. Up until now, TAPEWORM has essentially been a collaborative studio project centered at Reznor's New Orleans studio, where Keenan recorded the vocal track for the song "Vacant" in 1999. "TAPEWORM provides me the opportunity to work with some people I respect immensely in a democratic environment," Reznor said.

This is a guy who’s doing the work. That’s me imagining, ’cause I l know Maynard’s work ethic, and I know what things he values.” This isn’t just some guy phoning it in with a pretty face and a couple of lucky songs. And I think it was the moment when Maynard goes, Oh, OK, this guy’s for real. “The first day I brought him in there, I remember Trent was literally on the floor with a PC spread out, putting circuit boards together and things like that. I mean, they obviously knew who each other were, but they’d never met," he recalled during a chat with Consequence. “I brought Maynard to the New Orleans studio to meet Trent. In fact, he introduced them in the '90s.īefore they were in a band together, Howerdel worked as a sound engineer and guitar tech for acts like Tool, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Fishbone, and Guns N’ Roses.
