with his type of music it is completely understandable to want to keep it only his, because it is near impossible to achieve a musical creation with the raw and genuine emotion from downward spiral with multiple people, the entire album is about regret, isolation, anger, addiction and alienation. so naturally it would be hard to both find someone who designs music in a similar way to him who has also gone through the same exact struggles, and thinks the same exact way.

Considering the type of music he makes and how personal it is, it would surprise me if he did have anyone else helping him. It just feels like the type of music someone mulled over in their mind for months at a time (which it technically is).
I adore this artist, I was finally able to see a NIN show in Vegas ( sounds cheesy but I was mesmerized by his talent he will always b my favorite I love him
Since '94 here, but agreed! Caught em here in Austin @ our LARGE outdoor stage that no longer exists... Atari Teenage Riot, NIN, and Bowie. I was 14. 🖤
That's the worst part about being creative, people don't believe in your vision until they see that you already created it and then they want to be a part of it and take the credit. People disgust me.
Atticus Ross, Alessandro Cortini, Richard Patrick, and Chris Vrenna were all worthy parts of NIN. I kind of “*wish*” 😂 Trent would of taken “*Hey Man Nice Shot*.” I do wish Trent would solely take the reins of NIN again. And give us some more. I'm dying for another NIN release.
@@Len_M.yeah, Atticus is really talented, but I prefer everything before he got involved. Another Trent-only album would be so great, but I think he might be done with NIN sadly.
Trent Reznor such a special dude. It’s really cool to see him from when I was a teenager to now a grown adult winning awards for music he has on movies.
Trent speaks from his own mindset and this guy deserves a lot respect ...more, because,"Great minds think alike"...."Great minds think alike however.....orgininality...means everything to a very large audience." Keep it real all original Trent because this is what your fans respect you for.
I got to meet Chris Vrenna once at a goth club in Philly quite a few years ago. He was a guest DJ for the main floor where the stage was for the live goups and merch tables. He came down to take a piss and I caught him and asked him to sign my Alice soundtrack, which amazed him because it's not what he was used to signing. We talked for awhile about a lot of things and then the music just stopped on the main dance floor. He said; Oh shit...I gotta cue up some more music and take a piss, and I'll be back. He actually showed back up as promised. We talked for a bit, great guy really lol we were both a bit drunk tbh.
Robin merged well into Trent's musical style.. quite perfectly actually. He was in sync with Trent's mind and even played his solos in Trent's unique style.
This is one of the reasons I fell in love with everything Trent made or touched... beginning with PHM and Broken... You can really feel Trents influence in Marilyn Manson's Antichrist Superstar... Back when they WERE friends, also released on Nothing Records, Trents label... Don't believe me? Listen to Smells like Children and Downward Spiral, and then compare them to Anti-Star and see which one feels more like the other... BTW, Prince also often played all the instruments when laying tracks in studio... The more you know...
I've been telling ppl forever everytime music is the conversation I'll always bring up Trent Reznor and his exceptional musical abilities and it's surprising to me the amount of folks who had no clue that he has a savant level gift. I feel like he should get more recognition
The Downward Spiral really changed my perception of what was possible with sounds and music. Still blows me away to this day. I can’t listen to just one song, I have to play the whole album.
If you want it done right, you just do it yourself. People never understood when I said that Trent Reznor is NIN & vice versa. He’s a mastermind of music & “poetry”
Today we have lots of one man band because all the technology easier available, we have online courses for everything about music, but back then it was harder as hell to follow and keep with this idea.
I was thinking the same Trent your still one of my idols but I'm sure you would hate me in real life 🙈🙉🙊 I always have and always will like I always said he's the best and it's been how long he's still the best all hail the genius of this man even tho him on drugs was coolest he's never been cooler
He may have been “cooler” to you during his suicidal drug phase of the 90s but let me speak as someone who has seen him live 12 times….. he sucked if you compare sober versus coked up and drunk Woodstock 94 or something, compare that to my opinion, peak Trent Reznor 2005-2018 and it’s not even a discussion he’s wayyyyyyy better sober, maybe boring as a human….but my god as an artist and performer the drugs were not helping
When I saw QOTSA and NIN together they flipped a coin to see who played first....QOTSA won the toss and they were fucking amazing....but Trent honestly just showed them up in every way, Hes a true showman.
The first time I heard Pretty Hate Machine, The Downward Spiral, With Teeth and Year Zero, I realized that I was someone who was thinking the way he was thinking.
I love nine inch nails!! I’m not really allowed to listen to them because of songs like closer, but I still try to and a lot of their songs have deeper meaning than that!!
I've been hearing his music 🎶 since I was 8....thanks to my oldest brother,he was into the new wave bk in the early 80s...Fell into the world 🌎 of music 🎶 found peace and all I ever needed....
Same, like I remember Trent Reznor as my lullaby- his music is what I always fell asleep to as my brothers room was right next to mine and every night I remember feeling comfort in the music he'd play- Green Day Dookie, The Doors, Manson, but mostly: NIN.
I know what he means. The first time i heard "pretty hate machine" it blew my fucking mind. I lived in rural ontario and was stuck in an evangelical Christian hellhole where i wasnt allowed to watch worldly things or listen to ungodly music. The best I could hope for was small town 90's radio in Canada, and it was pretty bland. It didnt speak to me. But boy oh boy. That album. The first time i heard it I listened to it for about 24 hours straight, just flipping the cassette over again and again. Finally something that was said what I felt. Trent was a massive part of my life, and his music was with me through some really really bad times. It kept me from going over the edge more than once, because i knew there was at least one person who got it. I was a teenager, and a deeply closeted one who had to hide from himself and was afraid to show any outward emotion because it was made clear to me verbally and mostly non verbally that my feelings were pretty fucking gay and so weren't allowed out. I shut down to the outside world and withdrew into myself. People thought I was an angry asshole, and i was a bit, but I couldn't talk to anyone since I didnt trust anyone. But I could listen to nine inch nails and let my emotions out through the music, and so even though I've moved on from that place, thank god, I still have a ton of gratitude that he persevered and was able to get his vision out of his head and into the world. Thanks Trent.
At a young age, the downard spiral, and other albums helped leed me TO addiction. Now im years and years clean and i wouldnt be if it werent for NIN. How ironic
Poor trent in mercer County In PA.. not far from Pittsburgh, and me. I'd of collabed if I was born ... 😆 it's rough in small towns.. makes me wonder how he WAS thinking alll that
I felt the same way starting my band, the very first song was all recorded by me, it was a cool experience and obviously Trent and NIN are a huge influence to me personally (not quite musically) but I’m much happier with actual bandmates
My 1st adult boyfriend was really into NIN and he told me to listen to 1 particular song to hear it.. he pointed out a sound, says guess what that is? Idk, what? A toilet bowl, he says. 🤯 I was 18, 51 now still a fan.

Snape...Snape...Severus Snape...
What I immediately thought. Working in his basement, making spells.

The pioneer of Alternative punk. :D FN Genius & a legend !
It’s more like industrial pop.
He definitely isn’t punk though, that’s way off the mark.
A dear inspiration of mine. I love hearing this because I relate with it.
Chris Vrenna? He was Trent’s original right hand man.
No no Trent done it all by himself. No Flood..zero help.
If anybody I would say Robin finck he been in since 88 and only miss 2 tours the one now and with teeth tour

how so
