Robin Finck is just an astonishing guitar player, so humble and shy at interviews but on the stage is a completely different performer. Love him and his style. No one other player is like him.
This is such a great full circle moment. To think that angry, insecure and drug fulled talented young skinny dude would overcome his demons, form a family, expand his sound without losing his touch and make peace with everyone inolved in his project is such an inspiration. Trent you are a great proof that every battle can be won, no matter how hard it is. It's great to see you smiling and everyone inolved too.
He's always been my inspiration not only in music but on how a man should live properly. He really get his shit together. As I get older I realize the complexity of the music as well and to think he wrote that in his early to late 20s when most kids today don't have any direction or work ethic.
I'm taking Chris Vrenna's class right now and he is so informative and so open minded for all of his students. His classes are my favorite classes I've ever taken in my life. I definitely reccomend taking his classes if you want to learn the technology and the business behind music.
@@nichol_back he’s the head of the music technology program. He teaches classes like survey into music industry and a lot of music engineering classes.
Please tell him that I love and appreciate him so much. I missed the NIN live years with him, but appreciate his contributions to the catalog. I also love Tweaker, and I've seen him live with Gnarles Barkley. He's contributed to my life and I appreciate it. Thank you.
That would be an' Awesome Experience to absorb most definitely. Would be a fun to bring a Kevlar HI Torque Marching Snare' Triggered to a Access.Virus Synth n Make some intense learning experiences....
Seeing NIN live for the first time on TV at Woodstock 94 completely blew my mind on so many levels. I recorded it and watched it every day for so long, the vhs broke. I got it again and ended up recording the TV's output on a cassette recorder and then listening to it on my Walkman. I was 10 years old then I remember blasting NIN in my parents' basement, pretending I was Trent smashing keyboards. Ah man... The good old times. Thank you so much guys for making music that to this day still seems like magic to me.
They still put on great shows, but the early years saw the band at its most intense and raw performance-wise. They used to destroy instruments and beat the crap out of one another on a nightly basis. I don’t know how they afforded it all! My first NIN live show was Lollapalooza 91 and Trent crawled out tangled in the mic cord performing I Am Nothing and then exploding into Terrible Lie, it was profoundly moving.
I was around the same age and did the same but with a different VHS. It was 97', I was 9 years old when I first heard NIN but in 98' I had a VHS of Rammstein performance and totally burned it out. Between the ages of 9 and 10 I found bands that, to this day, I don't go a day without listening. Its been 25 years and I still listen to PHM, Downward Spiral, and The Fragile as if they released yesterday. For near 3 decades whenever I meet another NIN fan I consider them family. I love my NIN family. If I had a VHS of NIN I absolutely would have burned it out too lol.
I feel this comment in my soul. As do many others im sure. It's amazing sharing that "magic" feeling with others who just appreciate NIN. You never seem to meet a casual fan. It's almost all or nothing when it comes to enjoying NIN.
Same here. I was 12 at the time and that concert is cemented in my mind. Such an iconic moment and I had no idea that I'd be here 30 years later watching this, and I'd still love this band as much as I ever have.
I follow Nine inch nails in all forms since 1994 and Trent is a very important composer in a world today with less originales spirit in a actual internacional music
I was just thinking, weren’t there more than that many guys, one time, in the line-up for The Cure? I think that even at some point or another, Einstürzende Neubauten, KMFDM, Thrill Kill Kult, and Laibach, all had 7-9 people in their respective bands.
So happy...freaking happy to see Richard Patrick and Chris Vrenna back!!! Been a fan since 1989...Pretty Hate Machine is still my fave and best album for me!!! Terrible Lie is still my fave track!!
I remember the first time i went on the internet was to try to find things about NIN. Forever the sound track of my youth. Glad Trent and co survived all the madness!
dannys work in nine inch nails is spectacular. people also NEED to look up the first black light burns album that he did (wes borland's band) and the billy howerdel album that just came out that he's on. weather its more of danny with wes or danny with billy (or, ideally, maybe a danny solo album), music itself needs more danny lohner in it. that dude is a genius
@@symbologee phil anselmo talked about how he and danny were going to start a new project around i think 2018 and that danny had a ton of music ready to go for it, but phil did the whole "white power" thing at dimefest so danny clearly dropped the idea. i don't blame him. wes borland has been talking in interviews about wanting to start a new project with danny, josh freese, himself, and jon davis and munky from korn. he's said that jon davis said he will do it, but that he's waiting to hear back from everyone else on it. but i do hope we finally get a "renholder" album from danny like you said. wes does have a record label, after all, so there would automatically be a label for it
What wow?! Awesome. Charlie Clouser is a true gent, about the only person who responded to question I had on the Gearspace forums, just getting that out before watching!
These guys make my heart so happy! To see them up there after all these years and hearing all their stories is something I never could imagine as a teen. Here it is almost 30 years later.... Absolutely mind blowing! It just keeps getting better and better!
There is something deeply beautiful about granting beingness. Trent knows how to do this, and in doing so he allows great beauty to blossom - cultivating talent.
It's not D, E, it's F**k You. Perfect...All of them together again is amazing. Through it all, you realize who is supposed to be there for the long haul. True friendship. Perfect fits. Favorite band since 89, and it's never waned. This was a great watch. Anything with NIN is a must🖤
I couldn't have said it better. I'm about to turn 40 and NiN has been a huge part of my life. Getting to see these guys all play together again was amazing. Seeing Richard Patrick play Hey Man Nice Shot with NiN is something I definitely never thought I would see...
@@bryan123483 I'm so happy you got to experience that! Ive always hoped they realized the amount of change they've made in so many people's lives. They are more than just a "band" to me. It makes me happy that you appreciate them like I do
I would imagine that Trent doesn't take people based on being the best at something, but instead like a unique ingredient to a complicated recipe. It's amazing the world we live in allowed these people to come together at some point, and make some of the absolute best music.
A stage of Gods!! This is truly a dream come true as a longtime NIN fan. In 1996 when Quake came out it was the first Nine Inch Nails album I bought on release date. I didn't even have a computer fast enough to play the game I simply bought it for the soundtrack . It is unlike any other game soundtrack or soundtrack of any kind. Still one of my favorite Nine Inch Nails albums. When the vinyl finally came out and it was put on streaming services that made me very happy. Nice to see the Quake album get treated as an actual album and not a lost gaming Relic. I won't tell you how many copies I have of the game on CD LOL. I may have got carried away.
Each of these musicians are awesome independently. I loved watching this the day before seeing every single one of them live 2 hours ago... I suspected it'd happen but I still couldn't hold it together when they gradually arrived on stage playing their respective parts
I can still remember it... May 27 2000, two days before my 21st birthday, my second time taking LSD (5 hits), Fragility 2.0 tour, outdoors in the rain, at sunset. I lost one joint to the rain, another joint to a security guard, and by the time I finally lit my third joint, I didn't need it anymore. The sky was orange and purple and other colors that I didn't even know existed and still can't describe to this day. It looked like heaven was on fire and it was raining music. That day is burned into my soul.
This is so great to hear! Thanks for doing this and sharing. I enjoyed each one of their stories. P.S. don’t be disappointed that Ilan wasn’t hazed! That’s great they all beautifully matured. It’s great to hear how he experienced it. That’s so great to hear how La Mer has changed meaning for Trent over time. I can completely relate to the pain of adolescence and being a young adult but as I get older things start feeling a little better. Hope I can turn shit around like he has.
Thanks to all the guys for being the most important band in my life. Some of the best memories I have are accompanied by a NIN soundtrack. This band helped shape me and got me through difficult times as well. I'm very grateful to have grown up having NIN in my life. Cheers!
Speaking of DM, they’re going on tour soon. Funny story…in 8th grade i liked DM and a friend was swearing that the band KMFDM meant “Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode” 🤣…we had similar taste but he didn’t like DM lol.
I actually find myself listening to Reznor's interviews more than his music these days. The dude has a gift for cutting through the BS, and I would LOVE to read an autobiography.
This is a great group of super talented dudes. They have tons of experience, a bottomless reservoir of stories and the creativity to last a lifetime. It's awesome that they all came together to do this. What a cool thing to do for the fans! The world is blessed to have Nine Inch Nails in it. I couldn't imagine a place devoid of this band and its members, past or present.
if you set aside the music aspect, all these guys are really quite interesting as individuals in their own right. this really makes the whole interview that much more enjoyable.
That's easily my favorite interview with Trent ever. There's a certain kind of hope to it that I've never seen before from previous ones and I go back to it every now and again to remind myself that things work out, you know?
Idk why almost no one mentions Charlie Clouser. He easily has one of the best industrial rock styles. If you listen to what he did to White zombie and Rob zombie matrix ost, how he remixed Marilyn Manson songs. He is very underrated
I was there in the mud pit moshing for two hours straight with 300000 other people covered in mud at Woodstock 94 watching nine inch nails rite after Metallica got off stage one of my favorite memories
Thank you for the music I spent my youth with. Saw them 2 times here in Germany 2008 und I loved to see them again. Your music is my fuel to keep on. Thank you again for your art.
If Danny ever loses use of his hands, he could easily murder at standup. I think he should put together a routine anyway, I'd buy tickets to that shit 🔥
Thank you for posting this. Watching all the various incarnations of NIN on stage together was surreal. Danny isn’t just a fantastic musician, the dude is hilarious. Still mind blowing that Ilan joined at just 20 but he absolutely kills it.
It's awesome that James Woolley got a shoutout. I bet he would've been there if he was still alive. RIP. Josh Freese and Jerome Dillon are the only other 2 members that would've made sense on stage, but I can understand limiting it.
It would've been awesome for Josh and Jerome to be there, but i think that bridge is pretty much permanently burned with Jerome. That and Josh and Danny in the same room would be WAY too chaotic for this, there would be zero way to control either of them knowing their energies and how long they've known each other 😂😂😂
@@serbadork Jerome is a pretty laid back and chill dude; imo Aaron North would be the chaotic element in there along with Danny. They seem to be in their own world (if you know what I mean)
I think that is so unique that in rock music that a band, a group of people seems to survived the lows and ups or producing art in a positive way. Music history is full of talented people selfdestryoing and we all now that Trent create this wonderful music through deep suffering but maybe all the people around him (Bowie mentoring?) and NIN just turn this in a positive way. I see a grownup people with a deep connection and love, i don't see survivors or boiled old mens like many rockers in hall of fame.. i see artists that are not done with this job, they are evolving, they are transforming, and they are so humble. just see Professor Vrenna and his teaching passion.... who don't want a teacher at school that is a founder of NIN???
Theres a lot of other guys whos been in the band too over the years who arent in this. Jeordie White, Jerome Dillon, Aaron North and well a bunch of others.
NIN's has always nailed the faux world and whirled us into another. I was hooked with Pretty Hate Machine. I was thrilled to find much later that more hits would be created like Where it Belongs. I also have a strong attachment to Filter that had some real gems throughout. Thanks for walking that line and remaining in the fold for so many years!
Excellent. Just saw you for the first time in 30 years at louder than life. It was amazing! It took me right back to 17 and I felt like a kid again. I needed that. Thank you🙏❤️
I would love to read a history of Nine Inch Nails with contributions by (almost) everybody who was a part of it. You know, the kind of mixed-together style where they corroborate and contradict each other's stories.
Strange that the sounds and emotionscapes that you have created paint the score to so much of my life. Thanks for the beauty and giving the Horror form and meaning. An Old Fan
THIS IS EPIC!! thank you for sharing this!! Pretty Hate Machine was pivotal in my teen years. It was super cool to hear the stories of all the people involved. I didn't get to see NIN until my early 20s, and it was awesome in every aspect. I was also a fan of Skinny Puppy, and finally got to see them in my mid 20s. The word I used to my friend back then about SP show was 'cerebral'. OH I LOVED THE MASQUERADE when I lived in Atlanta. That is where I saw SP. A new Filter album... whoa.
The extraordinary path that this band - these musicians - has taken is remarkable. For those of us who have lived our paths and had those journeys informed by their work, this was simply breathtaking to have the opportunity to see/listen to the thoughts that have, in part, been the drivers of that ethos. Trent mentioned Frank Zappa early on in relation to finding and nurturing talent. Another aspect of Frank's work was how disparate it was - from doo wop to jazz fusion to the Synclavier to orchestral and all points within - and whether there were/are many fans who loved ALL of it. Trent's work has been similar in the sense that we move from Pretty Hate Machine to Ghosts to The Social Network to Empire of Light and, if we have been lucky, as we have aged and changed and been informed by the paths/journeys we have all been on, collectively we discover new musical terrain that still has a sense of ... perhaps not the familiar ... but most assuredly the feeling of trust. Trust that we are where we need to be and, if not, then we can find a way to get there. It's become passé to describe a band, or musician or composition, as having "saved one's life." I'd go to Vegas on a bet, though, that for those of use whose lives have been led through cataclysm as well as euphoria, the heart of the music that has interwoven through our DNA allowed many of us to take another step into the next day. For that, I am eternally grateful.
During the post show interview for Woodstock 94, Trent said something to the effect of thinking he'd be dead in 25 years, didn't want to do the whole "legacy" thing, "it's a crash and burn lifestyle".... so glad he got healthy and is now, with NIN - a legacy. To hear him say now, "this journey is far from over" is absolutely beautiful. Thanks guys!
Fascinating about La Mer, and this relates to the song exploder episode, on how it can mean whatever the listener perceives and what emotions they are made to feel. I don’t think anyone would agree that La Mer sounds like what Trent described…and that’s the beauty and complexity in all of it. I immediately thought “The Great Below” but keep in mind The Fragile had an arc, so Trent’s them then makes perfect sense. Just makes me appreciate that album even more as an experience into an expanse that my own mind is left to create. Also, I don’t think these interviews are even necessary…let great things remain and sail ahead! Thanks for all you do NIN.
Glad that someone else thinks this. To me, La Mer is one of the most uplifting songs on that album. But it does share the bassline with Into The Void, so it makes sense in that respect (as well as the album arc that you mentioned). I always thought that Into The Void and La Mer were yin-yang songs though: Into the Void is the yang/dark and La Mer was the yin/light. I guess that's totally not what Trent intended!
@@djn48 indeed. An arc (in this case) would have been to pick a specific scale and motif for the notes and keep re-implying them and reintroducing them in different songs to create a sense of continuity. It was absolute genius and this is why’s he’s taken on (and now mastered) scoring. Total brilliance. How lucky are we to have witnessed these things!
It means volumes to me to see Richard, Robin and Chris there. Out of respect for the art, the life and the times, it warms my soul. ❤
This was very well put. Absolutely appreciate what you wrote.
Agreed... i never thought Richard would be there for this.
Really awesome of all involved to make it happen.
Just to see them onstage together! Words escape me 🖤
Facts! This is like the NIN All Stars line-up
I'm glad that they managed to bury any hatchets they had and are just friends now
NIN's fan base singlehandedly keeps the lint roller industry going
mini lint roller for traveling. best invention ever...who wants other peoples hair/ dogs hair on them....certainly not me..gross
And I have a light-haired cat..
The joys of dressing in all black 😂
No lint roller needed. Just apply fishnets and copius amounts of corn starch to head and shake your head a lot.
Manheim Lint Roller.
THESE PEOPLE MEAN A LOT TO ME, THEY DON'T KNOW ME. BUT I KNOW THEM. NIN FOREVER.
Robin Finck is just an astonishing guitar player, so humble and shy at interviews but on the stage is a completely different performer. Love him and his style. No one other player is like him.
He seems really likable and uncommon as a person.
I talked with him at an after concert party at The Warehouse in WI. He was very humble and down to earth but with an edge.
Loved seeing him and Buckethead in GN’R as well.
@@Loki-sk7bi bucket was in GnR??
@@te9591 He was during Chinese Democracy period. That’s how I discovered how dope he is. Lol
It's good to see the 90s lineup together again.
With added Atticus

Lohner: "NIN is like Depeche Mode on Angel Dust." That's probably why I love them so much!

Exactly.! So good to see Trent smiling
I could listen to another 6hrs of this i swear
I'm always just used to Trent being so stoic so it's cool to see him here laughing and smiling .
Trent was never stoic, this is how he always was.
the stoicism is just a stage and music video persona. the real trent is actually a quite emotional guy
Holy shit trent is the only one NOT wearing full black, hell has frozen over
yo i noticed this too 😭😭😭
Right
It looks cool.
More curious if everybody else was told to wear all black. Because well come on. Found it cute 😏
Gotta stand out as the leader
Every iteration of NIN is unique and stellar in their own right. NIN is such a unique act, there's no other band even remotely similar to it.

@@standinsilence Oh yeah you're right
Speaking of DM, they’re going on tour soon. Funny story…in 8th grade i liked DM and a friend was swearing that the band KMFDM meant “Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode” 🤣…we had similar taste but he didn’t like DM lol.
Love you Robin finck! Thanks for making my childhood dreams come true!
I actually find myself listening to Reznor's interviews more than his music these days. The dude has a gift for cutting through the BS, and I would LOVE to read an autobiography.
This is a great group of super talented dudes. They have tons of experience, a bottomless reservoir of stories and the creativity to last a lifetime. It's awesome that they all came together to do this. What a cool thing to do for the fans! The world is blessed to have Nine Inch Nails in it. I couldn't imagine a place devoid of this band and its members, past or present.
I love you Trent!!!🥰 The way you keep composing good music after all these years is so inspiring 😘
if you set aside the music aspect, all these guys are really quite interesting as individuals in their own right. this really makes the whole interview that much more enjoyable.
One of the greatest bands of all time. True legends.
yes
Lizzy Goodman's "Difficult Artist" podcast is fantastic; great job! Great to see all of these guys together and acknowledged for their work🖤🖤🖤
That's easily my favorite interview with Trent ever. There's a certain kind of hope to it that I've never seen before from previous ones and I go back to it every now and again to remind myself that things work out, you know?
@@neilkristjansson8477 can you provide a link?? Is it on YT???
@@fungus_am0nguz644 I don't think so. I know for sure it's available on Spotify, but it's possible it's on other streaming services.
Idk why almost no one mentions Charlie Clouser. He easily has one of the best industrial rock styles. If you listen to what he did to White zombie and Rob zombie matrix ost, how he remixed Marilyn Manson songs. He is very underrated
Eh...
He’s a great composer too. His saw theme iconic.
I think he's great too
meh
I’ve been a huge NIN fan since the 5th grade when I first discovered With Teeth. They have been the best thing to happen to me musically 😊🖤
@sarar How old are you if I may ask
Nothing gets you pumped for a NIN show more than The Carpenters Greatest Hits and Ice Cube’s Americas Most Wanted.
I was there in the mud pit moshing for two hours straight with 300000 other people covered in mud at Woodstock 94 watching nine inch nails rite after Metallica got off stage one of my favorite memories
I also seen y'all in Toledo in 1995 and also at blossom with David Bowie in 96
Thank you for the music I spent my youth with. Saw them 2 times here in Germany 2008 und I loved to see them again. Your music is my fuel to keep on. Thank you again for your art.
If Danny ever loses use of his hands, he could easily murder at standup. I think he should put together a routine anyway, I'd buy tickets to that shit 🔥
literally!!! i want him to have a podcast so bad
I would love to hear stories from arguably the best live show era of NIN. He’s obviously got some stories to tell 😂😂
Congratulations to everyone in NIN, well deserved recognition for decades of musical and cerebral genius! 🏆
All these guy are great, but I'm so glad to see Richard there!
It’s exceedingly clear that Danny’s brain works faster than his mouth.
Thank you for posting this. Watching all the various incarnations of NIN on stage together was surreal. Danny isn’t just a fantastic musician, the dude is hilarious. Still mind blowing that Ilan joined at just 20 but he absolutely kills it.
Mmkay.
He is also the only person born in the 80s (1988) in the rock and roll hall of fame
It's awesome that James Woolley got a shoutout. I bet he would've been there if he was still alive. RIP.
Josh Freese and Jerome Dillon are the only other 2 members that would've made sense on stage, but I can understand limiting it.
It would've been awesome for Josh and Jerome to be there, but i think that bridge is pretty much permanently burned with Jerome. That and Josh and Danny in the same room would be WAY too chaotic for this, there would be zero way to control either of them knowing their energies and how long they've known each other 😂😂😂
@@serbadork Jerome is a pretty laid back and chill dude; imo Aaron North would be the chaotic element in there along with Danny.
They seem to be in their own world (if you know what I mean)
@@serbadork why is the bridge burned?
@@thestormlscomingI'm curious myself
Why am I just seeing this now? Wow that was some RUclips gold. Aww I feel part of a community.
Trent is so unbelievably lucky to have worked with Danny and Robin and vice versa
Shame I missed this live, it's so awesome that they did this and with all the members from throughout the years too.
Being the touring guitarist for NIN has always been my dream job but there’s no replacing what Robin Finck brings to the stage for NIN IMO.
I think that is so unique that in rock music that a band, a group of people seems to survived the lows and ups or producing art in a positive way. Music history is full of talented people selfdestryoing and we all now that Trent create this wonderful music through deep suffering but maybe all the people around him (Bowie mentoring?) and NIN just turn this in a positive way. I see a grownup people with a deep connection and love, i don't see survivors or boiled old mens like many rockers in hall of fame.. i see artists that are not done with this job, they are evolving, they are transforming, and they are so humble. just see Professor Vrenna and his teaching passion.... who don't want a teacher at school that is a founder of NIN???
I've just recently started listening to NIN, like within the last 2 years so it's cool to see everyone off of stage and get to know them.
Theres a lot of other guys whos been in the band too over the years who arent in this. Jeordie White, Jerome Dillon, Aaron North and well a bunch of others.
Within the last 2 months here. Good stuff
Glad Chris Vrenna & Richard Patrick mentioned Skinny Puppy... with all do respect NIN would not exist without SKinny Puppy!
NIN's has always nailed the faux world and whirled us into another. I was hooked with Pretty Hate Machine. I was thrilled to find much later that more hits would be created like Where it Belongs. I also have a strong attachment to Filter that had some real gems throughout. Thanks for walking that line and remaining in the fold for so many years!
How can you not love Robin ❤️
I appreciate all of these guys so much. Thanks for everything. Hands down my favorite group q and a ever
charlie clouser is a really clever man and really great at speaking 👏🏻
A really enjoyable and thoughtful look back and into NIN.
Thank you
This was incredible but at some point it felt like having all you ex's throughout your life sit in one room while your current sits next to you 😂
Atticus the golden boy
@susannaharnhart4910 since Mariqueen posted that Broke back mountain meme with Trent and Atticus i cant see the less than anything but an item 🤣
early 90s NIN was so nice pavemented something else for culture and music.
holy shit, that's the dream line-up. the 9-member version of NIN. and they just rocked cleveland. holy fuck.
Thanks for sharing this.
Edit - as soon as they sat down, I started imagining the literal wall of sound they could combine to create..
REZNOR and Gang will forever hold a very special place in my 🫀
☯️Buddha Bless☯️
Very interesting to see all the guys on one stage. Cool!
Hard to believe it's been well over 30 years when I started listening to NIN, good Damn!
Excellent. Just saw you for the first time in 30 years at louder than life. It was amazing! It took me right back to 17 and I felt like a kid again. I needed that. Thank you🙏❤️
Whenever I listen to Danny speaking I have to check if I'm watching on 1.25x speed.
and when robin talks you have to put it to 1.25x lmao
So great to see this very talented line up altogether, loved every minute of this !!!!!!
I would love to read a history of Nine Inch Nails with contributions by (almost) everybody who was a part of it. You know, the kind of mixed-together style where they corroborate and contradict each other's stories.
Strange that the sounds and emotionscapes that you have created paint the score to so much of my life. Thanks for the beauty and giving the Horror form and meaning. An Old Fan
THIS IS EPIC!! thank you for sharing this!! Pretty Hate Machine was pivotal in my teen years. It was super cool to hear the stories of all the people involved. I didn't get to see NIN until my early 20s, and it was awesome in every aspect. I was also a fan of Skinny Puppy, and finally got to see them in my mid 20s. The word I used to my friend back then about SP show was 'cerebral'. OH I LOVED THE MASQUERADE when I lived in Atlanta. That is where I saw SP. A new Filter album... whoa.
Never thought I'd see the day where Trent Reznor is wearing the most colourful outfit in the room
Trent, you cool❤️thank you for all your amazing music, this helps me a lot in hard, good & shitty times
The extraordinary path that this band - these musicians - has taken is remarkable. For those of us who have lived our paths and had those journeys informed by their work, this was simply breathtaking to have the opportunity to see/listen to the thoughts that have, in part, been the drivers of that ethos. Trent mentioned Frank Zappa early on in relation to finding and nurturing talent. Another aspect of Frank's work was how disparate it was - from doo wop to jazz fusion to the Synclavier to orchestral and all points within - and whether there were/are many fans who loved ALL of it. Trent's work has been similar in the sense that we move from Pretty Hate Machine to Ghosts to The Social Network to Empire of Light and, if we have been lucky, as we have aged and changed and been informed by the paths/journeys we have all been on, collectively we discover new musical terrain that still has a sense of ... perhaps not the familiar ... but most assuredly the feeling of trust. Trust that we are where we need to be and, if not, then we can find a way to get there. It's become passé to describe a band, or musician or composition, as having "saved one's life." I'd go to Vegas on a bet, though, that for those of use whose lives have been led through cataclysm as well as euphoria, the heart of the music that has interwoven through our DNA allowed many of us to take another step into the next day. For that, I am eternally grateful.
Just So Great to See Soooo Much Talent Together in One Room!!!!
😘👌😎👍🎵🪕💿
Danny rocking that IAMX hoodie is amazing.
This is one of the greatest interviews ever!!
During the post show interview for Woodstock 94, Trent said something to the effect of thinking he'd be dead in 25 years, didn't want to do the whole "legacy" thing, "it's a crash and burn lifestyle".... so glad he got healthy and is now, with NIN - a legacy. To hear him say now, "this journey is far from over" is absolutely beautiful. Thanks guys!
It was just missing Josh Freese, great interview
This is so cool, each member fits so well in this band!
The only thing that sucks about this interview is that it's not an hour longer!
welp, I know I'm going to spend the next week solid listening to NIN now
Fascinating about La Mer, and this relates to the song exploder episode, on how it can mean whatever the listener perceives and what emotions they are made to feel. I don’t think anyone would agree that La Mer sounds like what Trent described…and that’s the beauty and complexity in all of it. I immediately thought “The Great Below” but keep in mind The Fragile had an arc, so Trent’s them then makes perfect sense. Just makes me appreciate that album even more as an experience into an expanse that my own mind is left to create. Also, I don’t think these interviews are even necessary…let great things remain and sail ahead! Thanks for all you do NIN.
Glad that someone else thinks this. To me, La Mer is one of the most uplifting songs on that album. But it does share the bassline with Into The Void, so it makes sense in that respect (as well as the album arc that you mentioned). I always thought that Into The Void and La Mer were yin-yang songs though: Into the Void is the yang/dark and La Mer was the yin/light. I guess that's totally not what Trent intended!
@@djn48 indeed. An arc (in this case) would have been to pick a specific scale and motif for the notes and keep re-implying them and reintroducing them in different songs to create a sense of continuity. It was absolute genius and this is why’s he’s taken on (and now mastered) scoring. Total brilliance. How lucky are we to have witnessed these things!
