Work with Nine Inch Nails
Danny Lohner joined during the Self Destruct era and moved among bass, guitar, keyboards, and studio roles. His flexibility became especially important as the live band expanded its arrangements during Fragility.
Beyond the stage, his credits connect remixes, soundtracks, production work, and the long-running Tapeworm sessions. His 2022 guest return linked those 1990s histories to the Cleveland reunion.
