Yeah, this is a saz:
But it's not Indian, it's Turkish.
Anyway, to get back on topic - I somewhat understand your prejudice towards NIN.
I didn't start listening to him* until I was around 15. Before that, just because of the name I assumed it was some sort of hardcore metal. How wrong I was.
nine inch nails is absolutely mindblowing music. Trent is a lyrical genius with an amazing sense of melody. I think you will love his stuff. I can actually see you really liking the album "The Fragile" actually. Go check it out.
*note - I refer to nine inch nails in the single tense as Trent Reznor
IS nine inch nails....it's just him, he plays all the instruments and writes all the songs....the band has basically changed on every album, they are just session musicians really.
