Anyone else find it Ironic that a guy named Balance died by falling off a balcony?

I find it hard to believe so many die hard NIN fans weren't aware of Coil prior to the sad news. The members of Coil did alot with NIN -- from remixes to videos. Peter Christopherson (one time member of both Coil and Throbbing Gristle) was the director for a huge bulk of NIN videos -- including the infamous Broken movie. Check out the "Precursor" mix of "Closer" -- y'know the one in the opening credits of the movie Seven? Thats a mix featuring members of Coil.

"...It's so nice to travelling but oH so much nicer to come home. No cannabis, no speed, no nothing.No alcohol, as a rule, but as people know I have had had problems with this in the past and keep away as much as I possibly can."

NIN fans that don't know Coil aren't NIN fans. I dont know what they are, but they're not really NIN fans. With all the things Trent's said about Coil, and Peter, and all of the remixes and videos..
Peter Christopherson directed the Broken movie for christ's sake..

Alright, your a die hard, we get it. Here is your cookie for pointing out no new information.
But all jabs aside, tis is sad news. Ashame Coil still never rose above being relatively obscure to most people.

They're only obscure to idiots who haven't taken the time looking for good music. Anyone who's worth their salt musically knows Coil.

I knew about Coil and the fact that they did the 'Percursor' remix of "Closer"...but that's about it
I'd guess I'm a NIN admirer then....
EDIT1: Didn't realize this was old.

I own every Nine Inch Nails release except the VHS and I have no clue who or what this John/Coil thing is. I can safely say I'm a fan.
