After Reznor got sober, he decided to treat his Maternal Grandfather Bill Clark to the VIP lifestyle after the death of his Grandmother, Clara. He took him to all sort of concerts, introduced him to David Bowie even took him to The Price is Right (Reznor even has a cameo on a televised episode)
His grandparents owned Reznor heating and cooling, a large factory which was one of the biggest employers in the area, even before his fame. I don't think they suffered from a lack of "VIP" lifestyle. He would have been one of the richest people in the area.

It was the 90's... and most Gen X alternative acts were pretty much required to claim to hate being famous but in reality still enjoying the trappings of fame and money
This is far from a GenX phenomena… ‘tolerating’ and ‘enjoying” fame are always messy combinations, and most non-pop musicians have a complex relationship with ‘Fame’, hell, the Beatles didn’t play live for years as they hated everything with that kind of public adulation. Sadly, the 70’s and 90’s is full of amazing musicians that died far too young due to drug addictions that helped them with the anxiety of ‘fame’.
He still lives in the Butler area, his brother runs his father's heating and air conditioning business, you might have seen their commercial heating units, Reznor is the name. Popular in the pittsburgh area
Nortek Global HVAC acquired Reznor in 2014 when it bought Thomas & Betts' HVAC business. The acquisition was worth around $260 million. Not sure if his brother owns Nortek. The last I heard, another company was also set to purchase Nortek.
I remember Peter Murphey playing a 500 capacity club with NIN opening. A few months later, NIN was headlining the same club. This was one of the best shows I’d ever seen and the first time I’d heard them do the Queen song, “Get Down…”. The entire band laid it on thick since it was a hometown gig.
I agree with the escape from theory. The more I started learning scales, the more disconnected I became from the joy of just playing. There is a balance there, and some fundamentals. You still gotta know how to play, but you want to be creative. NiN is a good example of that. Great video
My best guitar melodies happened right after I started playing before I even learned the minimal basics and especially before I started using a pick. I also discovered you can be far more creative on drums if you use the least amount possible...like just a hi-hat, bass drum and 3 roto-toms but lots of reverb and proper microphone placement for live improv jams. Also, I removed half the strings once on a guitar to add the main tracks and got takes I couldn`t have gotten any other way. Being creative and different by breaking the rules can really make a big difference.
Musicians with integrity have a lot to complain about when it comes to some (most?) record labels. TR is one of the most influential, and I believe best, musicians of the 20th/21st centuries.
For years I thought TR is one guy making music alone, then a live album. He made it work. The Fragile is awesome. Quake soundtrack too. Good stuff throughout his career
Nice to hear credit given to Skinny Puppy, Ministry, etc. NIN kix butt though you scotta do a video on Skinny Puppy, that's what this channel is missing.
NiN is my all time favorite musical act of all time and Reznor is a genius. I thought I knew we everything about him and I learned a lot from this bud. Great video - superb.
on the broken album under the music at the beginning of “physical” you can here trent whisper, “eat your heart out steve”. so, not surprising he would write “fuck you steve” on the re-release of PHM.
I remember seeing Econoline Crush open around 1998 in Edmonton Canada and they covered Head Like A Hole. They absolutely killed it and added some of their own sound to it which was so cool.
He met Richard Patrick, whoms brother would go on to be the T1000 in T2. (Which on the DVD I have! The making of...

Thank you for your service. Good job teaching this next generation about good music. That seems to be a GenX thing, teaching kids our music and I like it!
NIN has been the soundtrack of my life. This is one of those bands I am grateful for and for the fact its been there from my mid teens on up. Trent Reznor is definetly one of the most talented people to come out of the late 80s and 90s!!! Just amazing.
Yes the FBI did get involved and was almost a 2 year ongoing investigation until one of the officers assigned to the case saw the music video and a recreation of the footage they originally had lol then Reznor made fun of them for being stupid and wasting tax payer money. Also the case was featured on an unsolved mysteries type show lol @@rmcdudmk212
It’s important to recognize the importance of 120 Minutes on MTV, the show that made alternative what it is today as well as breaking NIN. Also, most industrial critics hated NIN back then because they were popular and had danceable songs while edge-lord bands like Skinny Puppy were not.
Pretty hate Machine?! Came out when hair metal? Was on autoPilot and? Around the time Of my first 'BIG',real relationship w a beautiful girl (first high school love) awe.. It was intense? We eneded up having a child!(I was 15,she? Was 17.. kinda feel.. 'used' now .looking back .) Ecspecially?? During the inevitable BIG break up! Where she replaced me w a Older dude and..basicslly?! Made it very VERY difficult to my son . (But .i managed.. thanks to? Pretty Hate Machine !) Which?! Became the soundtrack to my darker halfs existence (i was 16-17-18 when i went thru that 'experience') Today? Ive followed Trents career ever since. And..Have every Cd..tape..etc. Great video here!😊
Trent is a math nerd? I'm a middle-aged line cook and I often geek out on Numberphile, 3blue1brown, and Mind Your Decisions; I wonder if Trent enjoys any recreational math?
People say that all the time. I was born on a completely different side of the tracks than people who look like me. Grew up in a rural community and got into rock when I was really young
Cleveland is one of the most influential music cities that I don't see anyone talk about. Memphis, NYC, LA, Seattle, Nashville, and many more get videos and articles about them. Cleveland was right there but gets no love/coverage. Video idea?!?
He managed to pull off a touring riot. Show up 6 hours late, play two songs, complain that the audience isn't into it, leave, watch the riot from the top of the stadium, and then do the same thing at the next show.
I never got the hype. They also get a lot of undeserved credit for pioneeriung the "industrial" sound when Ministry were already doing it before Pretty Hate Machine came out and KMFDM were well on their way in the mid '80s too.
Ministry was a dance band until they heard Skinny Puppy. I did like Land of Rape and Honey when it came out though. There were lots of underground industrial bands before Ministry, and way before NIN. Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten, Front 242, Front Line Assembly, even Meat Beat Manifesto were all bands my friends and I were listening to before NIN came out. Reznor definitely wasn't a pioneer, but he did bring industrial into the mainstream, for better or worse. His music is certainly significant to a lot of people, though I'm not one of them.
At the risk of sounding pedantic, it’s pronounced "moag" like a boat, not "moog" like toon. I only mention it since this is a music channel that should know better.
I've been an industrial fan for most of life. Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine was the beginning. After NIN I was like okay lets see what Skinny Puppy (later ohGr), Ministry, Nibtzer Ebb, Front 242, and KMFDM are about. Then to see Trent get an Oscar for scoring Social Network, that was a win for all of us NIN fans. 😎
Definitely a gen xer first concert he went to he was 11 years old, nowadays kids aren't allowed to play outside at 11 years old without supervision and an armed escort
None of them hated their success. They pretended to because it was trendy to do so. Last I checked he wasn’t living in the ghetto and driving a Pinto. He can’t hate it that much.
He was never poor to begin with. His family owned a multi billion dollar company, and they would have been one of the richest, if not the richest, families in the small town he grew up in. It wasn't some rags to riches story.
@@in.der.welt.sein. Wait If his family had billions why the fuck did he go to Allegheny College for Engineering? It's a liberal arts college. Sorry, I was thinking out loud. 😃
@@TeGustaElRockers Allegheny college is a nice school. My guess: he got scholarships and it was close to home. (Meadville is a half hour away from Mercer). And I didn't claim he was one of the richest people in the world, just in the shenango valley. I also didn't claim they were billionaires-- but that the company was worth that much. His family isn't Bill Gates, but he didn't grow up in squalor.
Sorry, I didn't mean to put you on the spot or ask you to explain everything. Allegheny is a nice private college but not known for engineering. His Bio doesn't make sense. Again I apologize for my outburst. And Pintos did explode,
Played real cheesy music in his first couple bands, wanted to write songs like the Clash “because it was fashionable” vs something he believed in etc…kinda reminds me of how all these hip hop artists rap about things they’ve never lived…just posers of sorts. Not going to deny that Trent didn’t write some good, dark songs but I believe he wanted to be “different” vs actually being “different”. The whole “I hate fame” falls into that same facade. It’s part of the act/show biz
Lucky Pierre wasn't cheesy though. They were quirky, but not cheesy and definitely different. I think Kevin McMahon influenced him heavily because he copied his look to some extent and eventually signed him to Nothing.
i highly doubt he truly hated his success when he told his guitarist to go deliver pizzas upon being asked about disproportionate payment. dude was in love with himself and his fame, he also enjoyed playing the victim.
That’s a childish view, like when you’re a kid and you think your parents have got it all figured out. Then you grow up, have some kids of your own and realize that they were just two people doing their best, and learning as they go. We’re all learning as we go, no one has got it “all figured out”. Stay in school, little buddy
Dunno man, never got into them, or Jane's addiction, 90's was alot of bands I dint understand though...was a strange time for mainstream music..fact I quit listening to radio bout then cause the repeat songs all sucked to me lol...still don't bother with radio...
Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral are both incredible albums. Ignore the haters and give them a listen. Some say they sound dated, but the grest songwriting makes them timeless
I like to believe theres an album for everyone. If you don't like the aggressive sound, Hesitation Marks and Ghosts are albums that contain some really good pop and ambience. NIN is really versatile and they deserve to be recognized for more than TDS
@@thirdlegstalliano Let's be honest, the most iconic NIN out there is the most edgelord thing you can find in the mainstream. And no, they are not being haters, they are normal people 😅
I always thought industrial music was kinda gay. Not in an insulting way, it just sounds like to me like weird drugs bisexual stuff and nobody just says it. It's totally fine if Reznor likes tallywhackers. Do what you want.
Correction: meant Steve Gottlieb not Scott. Throw your requests for which other albums you want me to cover.
*The Downward Spiral,* please.
The Fragile
I second Downward Spiral.
Downward Spiral please

Yeah, if you were famous you were a "sell-out"! Had to keep it "underground",or "on the down low (DL)".
It's cool his grandparents encouraged and supported his music dreams.

That’s a childish view, like when you’re a kid and you think your parents have got it all figured out. Then you grow up, have some kids of your own and realize that they were just two people doing their best, and learning as they go. We’re all learning as we go, no one has got it “all figured out”. Stay in school, little buddy
Also, “knew he was doing all along” what does that even mean? Don’t skip English class, young buck 👍
"resonated with fans" more like "Trent Rez-o-nated" eyo!
Trent Reznor is a genius
Sorry to hear about your tragic success there Trent 🙄🤦🏼♂️
Dunno man, never got into them, or Jane's addiction, 90's was alot of bands I dint understand though...was a strange time for mainstream music..fact I quit listening to radio bout then cause the repeat songs all sucked to me lol...still don't bother with radio...

No!!! You pronounced "Moog" wrong!
Throwing sausages ! 😂
Throwing Sausages- sounds like a UK punk band 😆
Sax would have sounded good on pretty hate machine
County fair, not country fair.
Oh god what was Zach Brown singing?? 🥴
pretty hate machine sounds bland compared to all the Wax Trax guys back in the day 🤷♂
Guess who's doing the soundtrack to Tron 3. Yeah, NIn. Sounds ungmhappy with success.
Cool video though I'm not really sure you justified the statement that he hated his success.
I never really understood the sound of nine inch nails. Maybe I should go back and listen again.
I wouldn't,they had one good song.
You must have a sad life. You definitely have terrible taste in music.
Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral are both incredible albums. Ignore the haters and give them a listen. Some say they sound dated, but the grest songwriting makes them timeless
I like to believe theres an album for everyone. If you don't like the aggressive sound, Hesitation Marks and Ghosts are albums that contain some really good pop and ambience. NIN is really versatile and they deserve to be recognized for more than TDS
@@thirdlegstalliano Let's be honest, the most iconic NIN out there is the most edgelord thing you can find in the mainstream. And no, they are not being haters, they are normal people 😅
@rnrtruestories you put out great content. Being I'm a 90s kids. This by far is one of my favorites.
Thanks!
So he daw the EAGLES when he was 10/11 yo?... 🤔🙄Ok...
Origin myths
Why is that strange?
Born in 1965 it would have been 1975-1978 if you really wanna stretch it out
I always thought industrial music was kinda gay. Not in an insulting way, it just sounds like to me like weird drugs bisexual stuff and nobody just says it. It's totally fine if Reznor likes tallywhackers. Do what you want.
Sorry to be that guy, but the correct pronunciation of Moog rhymes with vogue.
