Trent has aged so well. He looks exactly how I pictured him older and seems really happy. I know he's married and settled so that helps. We are all grateful Trent didn't end up a Staley or a Cobain. He very easily could have except I think he's too thoughtful and smart to self destruct completely. He's great.
Yep
He did always come across as thoughtful, smart and kind - however, I don't think he was those things _towards himself_ back then. I'm really happy he made it through that swamp alive. I hope we get to keep him around for a long long time.
I was just saying this the other day. I'm so happy for him as someone who has admired him and his work for a very long time.
I guess the other guys just weren’t thoughtful enough or smart enough 🙄
Reznor aged like wine. Manson aged like milk.
Getting sober helps.
Good to see he's a happy man now.
yep. very glad for him. good to see that he is still doing what he loves, which is music.
He's so talented and intelligent. Trent is so handsome even in his 50s... omg!
Agree he is a hot man and love his mind
He is big on his health
IKR! I was like hot damm...he looks fantastic. A Reznor Vedder sandwich, YES pleeease 🥰😛
@@Ms.GreenJeans u gae ??
Just something missing with him : sense of humor. MJK is much more funny. Both are excellent musicians and have achieved their goals. Calm down people ! They both respect each other. And so do I
@@lydia5649 Machine Jun Kelly? Did you really have to bring that guy up?!
Art versus commerce? How do you find things that are true to you, interesting to you, challenging to you -- with the baggage of success. Art versus comfort. For a guy who cleaned toilets so he could get night access to an empty studio to record PHM, to becoming a millionaire at a young age, Reznor certainly has not lost that artistic focus. No complacency, no nostalgia, no comfort, I feel Reznor has negotiated these waters in excellent fashion with both NIN and his career recording music for film. "Wildly exciting," Reznor says at 49 -- how many people have that inner drive to continue to relentlessly push this edge? How many friends of yours who started a professional career at 22 or 23 would call their jobs "wildly exciting?" Reznor makes that happen for himself. I started listening to NIN in 1992 when I was 13 (probably not healthiest musical choice) but now at 36, just being a fan, life is good when Reznor puts out new sounds and music -- much respect to this guy.
Damn,...was this your submission to a music or lifestyle magazine of some kind
.perhaps your secretly testing it up publicly, albeit anonymously here...I'd like to read his reapone to this...I could write like this..with the right amount of time, effort and focus,..why not?
He has different quality comparing to other rock stars .
a truly and uncompromising artist...
Honest, humble, and reflective. He’s a true role model; not only to recovering addicts but the rest of us as well.
walter bishop
He's smart, articulate, well read and talented. He gives a shit. That doesn't exist anymore in music.
What a legend
@T. E. Wilmot ive noticed, thats very true!
crazy how trent got so handsome with a little age and some weight gain...
sounds like a smart disciplined dude
Sandy Grungerson he’s always been handsome from his goth think days to his now goth daddy days
Trez is looking handsome as fuck in this video
What he said at 33:30 is exactly what I have too, almost all my favorite records were albums I did not like at first, but was too intrigued by too quit listening.
It's exactly how I feel about Nine Inch Nails records. I have to listen to them 10 times before I don't hate them. And after that I want to listen to them on repeat for the rest of my life (been doing that now for over 20 years so on the right path...) and even after the 1000th listen I still hear new things in each song.
Strange, isn't it? David Bowie's 'Outside' album comes to mind, for me.
I clearly remember my initial reaction to Head Like A Hole at 18 thinking "what's this mess?' Ironically the first two albums went on to become my lone time go-to for a year or so there. Lollapalooza, Bristol's trip- hop, Seattle. The early 90's was a musical golden age.
It felt like the music that drown out the noise around Nick and Amy when they first met in Gone Girl added a depth of strangeness to both of them. It didn't sound romantic or inviting, or hit close to home with what you'd imagine for your stereotypical 'love at first sight' scene. It was more like 'two unusual, somewhat unorthodox, people trying to escape a cliche' and that's exactly what their relationship comprised of. The music translated that really well. There weren't any misunderstandings between Nick and Amy at all, and Trent grabbed the heart of that connection and revealed it in the very beginning. Another thing about the style that Trent used to portray their relationship; it sounded dreamy and (for lack of a better term) artificial, in a way. Here are these two people who want to be different and honestly want to feel that there is love, and yet they realize they were just ordinary people trying to be people they are not. What better way to grasp that feeling than to use some kind of Xylophone?
I'd like to see Trent work on a score for a psychological thriller/horror. After listening to NIN album "The Downward Spiral" I can't help but notice how much it reminded me of Akira Yamaoka's work in Silent Hill. I think Trent would really capture the spectrum of anxiety. Something buggy and repetitive that feels uncoordinated, fades in or out, or gets louder. A mixture between noise and piano, all of which Trent incorporates into his material. It would truly be masterful. Perhaps when or if Jeff Buhler finally pushes a remake for Jacob's Ladder, they should definitely consider Trent work on a score for it. (My wishes)
Down to learn, modest and ethical. Nice guy to his fans. Genius. Animal Advocate. I learn a lot about art from your interviews. Thank you for posting this..and thank you Trent.
Trent reznor, the most real musician out there, maybe the others can learn from this guy, nice to see such a warm gentleman, somebody without a big fake head, this is the type of person I would like to meet, brilliant guy, love you trent
I listen the OST of Social Network everyday. For the Dragon tattoo, i wasn't so much enthusiastic but Gone Girl is perfect, catch the atmosphere of the movie !
I pretty much listen to some tracks by them every fucking day.
My hat goes off to Reznor and Ross! It's one thing to have success as a band in the music world, but also to make transition to film scoring and continue to be muscially relevant and intersting. I love the soundscapes in Gone Girl.
"I wonder if we could score flms" --- BAM become the best film composers in the world.
Amazing talent, I hope he keeps writing scores.
So nice to see a rather mellow and happy Trend Reznor.
The most interesting part to me (as a long-time fan of NIN) is hearing Reznor talk about his musical tastes, pressure, having an allegiance to previous sounds, etc.. Does he just make what he wants, does he try and also please his audience who knows him sonically from NIN? These artists with rabid audiences must constantly feel subtle pressure about the current road they are walking on...
In this regard, I find Reznor to be a fascinating talent. I mean, sonically, he is our genius of today.
the interviewer did an amazing intelligent job
love the backdrop in this. nice alley
Absolutely amazing interview bro. One of the best I've seen Trent Reznor ever gave.
Man, poor Trent has to answer these same old questions until the end of time.
He signed up for it
He definately has THAT in common with BOWIE. Answering the same bullshit questions time after time.
Well, better... waaay better than the avarage 8 to 8 job FO'SURE & you get to speak your voice.
I thought it was decent(?)
"Between Two Ferns: Trent Reznor"
Can't wait for the next NIN tour! Coming summer 2067!
***** The tool album comes out 3098 -- a year before the new NIN album.
...And then it turns out NIN comes out with an EP in December 2016, and Tool are still "taking time, but we promise it'll be good. We're not like other bands. This is a very meticulous process. We could put out mediocre music, but we want it to really sound good." Hahahahaha
This past few years blew all of these comments out of the water.
Currently obsessed with the watching Trent movie score Interviews before watching actual movie.
I can't describe fully in words how much I admire Trent Reznor and Atricus Ross. They are some kind of the ideal form of film music for me (which is in the same time music that lives COMPLETELY outside of the movie as a perfect album to just listen to over and over and over and...). They are also a great inspiration for me when I'm creating music.
I hope they won't change their style too much ( I know tht since that interview was posted they maybe did somethings that were a little different here and there on their newer scores - but it's all Reznor and Ross, the feeling, the synths, the dark piano, the drones). I expect a certain quality and feel from their scores and so far I've gotten it from each and every one of them. I'm sure that every album they'll put out next will be just as perfect - I buy them blindly without listening because I know they will all be perfect 10 for me.
So great that Fincher keeps on working with Trent Reznor, also this soundtrack fitted perfect..
Another one of my favourite singers
One good looking old man 💓
Awesome interviewer. Very knowledgeable. You can tell Trent actually liked him lol. He usually seems bored.
Great Interview. I cant say that NIN music really speaks to me, But hearing Trent discuss his thoughts about his composing process in the three movies is absolutely fascinating. I like when musicians/artists can explain their thinking on a project, it gives an added dimension to the art.
Especially liked how his concept for Ghosts was an Impressionistic set of sketches using music as a medium.
He was originally going to do the score to the Robin Williams/Mark Romanek film 'One Hour Photo'. The unused music from that fermented and ended up on the Still EP
How could anyone dislike this? Great interview
He's smiling! That's rare!
I don't understand why I keep reading this. He smiles relatively often.
He's so fine!!
This was so inspiring, it sparks a drive to want to pursue excellence and discipline in my own life. I've been a NIN fan since my teenage years and I remember always loving the intensity of his music and his lyrical writing style. I see now that it resonates with me because he brings that thoughtful approach to his lyrics, something that I very much admire and respect in people. I think I carry myself to a similar degree, though I need to find more excellence within me.
It's great that the best film directors are working with great musicians to score their films. Fincher + Reznor, Paul Thomas Anderson + Johnny Greenwood.
great interview, as always. Keep doing your thing, DP
It's interesting hearing Nine Inch Nails' Ghost material be the closer tracks to the credits in Raid 2 and CITIZENFOUR, and worked perfectly in those movies.
His Ghosts material could be used effectively in every movie. I think it's probably better than any of his amazing scores he's done for Fincher. There's such a wide variety of songs on that album that are extremely well made. It has the same curse as his Dragon Tattoo score of having too many songs though. It's so hard to listen to all at once that its genius gets overlooked.
travz21 I've heard some of it pop up here and there in TV and even a couple films
I honestly just clicked this link from the Still video of "The Becoming" because of Trent's wide grin in the thumbnail.
So much emotional response to his music!
Great interview.
A mostly thoughtful, in-depth discussion of process with a thoughtful, serious artist through which glimpses of the man appear.
Great interview
That last question, at the end, made me spit juice on my keyboard. Unexpected hilarity can be dangerous.
Watching "The Social Network" for the first time was so interesting for me. There was this feeling--it came on slowly, of "This sounds familiar, I know this...how?" As soon as I heard "Trent Reznor" I was "That!!! Yes!" In retrospect, it was obvious
great interview!!!
This is a really good interview. Both sides brought their "A" game.
He looks great and sounds semi complacent and happy. Good stuff.
this man is like fine wine :)
I’ve always loved david fincher too. Trent is my soulmate
@2:06 it would have been incredibly appropriate as chuck palahniuk has stated he was listening to broken and fixed while writing fight club .
Wow, incredible story.
Trent is amazing
Great! Saludos desde Asunción Paraguay 🇵🇾
Down to earth..
if sellout means get paid to make really great art? ill take it. the trick is to be outrageously talented and have integrity. very happy trents doing so well. the downward spiral was my first cd purchase and i believe i was 14,15. it took me a while to learn how to hear it but it opened up so many possibilities once i did. i love a wide range of music just because of what this man introduced me to.thank you mr reznor,friend of mine for 22 years.thank you
His art made me think of art more to step back and look at my art from a far he's very talented.
Yeah it’s nice to see a grown-up Trent. Back when I used to go to concerts are used to get disheartened as he bash synthesizers that I would be begging for. But now he’s all grown up looks like he’s got a good head on his shoulders, can’t wait to see more stuff of his music in it
Trent is one last famous musical artists that you can actually understand what the fuck hes saying. Super well spoken dude.
I restarted the video like 4 times thinking there was a problem with my soundcard.... appart from that, great videos! I'd love to see one of Gustavo Santaolalla or John Williams
lol I restarted my computer xD
Oliver Stone gave him carte blanche on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack/score and that was a huge hit.
are there just so many ideas floating around in his head? is there THE perfect piece floating around? either way im glad he's putting out these tunes
How have I not seen these interviews before, where are they all emerging from?!
I like him.
its somthing else to see someone so accomplished still feel that they havent fully evolved (/interested to see their own "final form")
to have a style or a definitive PLACE in the music arena and still be nervous about what the "client" wants. I wonder if younger him would inspire older him (or vice versa) in some way
I'd love love love to hear how Trent would compose if he actually learned how to score organically, like in an orchestra. That'll be the another level.
That would most likely be boring and uninteresting like 95% of the same old tired Hollywood movie orchestral scores. He's been employed to do soundtrack work precisely because he's not doing that sort of score. Trent Reznor was classically trained on piano, and encouraged to drop out of high school to pursue a career as a concert pianist...yet as soon as he discovered rock & roll, he quickly dropped his piano playing and would set out to unlearn all of his traditional training in music in order to achieve a much more original vision.. based on pure, raw expression and not virtuoso playing. This is one of the indication of Trent's amazing musical understanding.....that there's nothing particular interesting or expressive about that kind of music. One of my favorite quotes of his is something to the effect of ''I don't use synthesizers, samplers and drum machines because I'm not able to produce those sounds organically...I use them because I like and prefer the sound of them".
This isn't even my final form.
34:18
Now I get it.
you are so beautiful!!!! In all your darkness and light!!~~~~
What do you enjoy more? Enjoying music or doing the music, you don't miss them?
You don't miss them? And endless supply,
neat conversation. the interviewer is good.
Art vs. Commerce... and "I'd rather not clean the toilet if I don't have to." Around 27:00
Oh good, I haven't seen this "Between Two Ferns" episode yet....
Why am I realizing that I think so much like him.
He's all grown up
The sitar, is a meditative mind space,
It's alright to let people play,
Even the fern is attracted to him. Hey! Keep your hands to yourself!
He got better looking with age.
5:39 - DAT ZOOM .... "creeping fear"
From the thumbnail It could've been 'Between Two Ferns' THAT would've been great! Lol.
Actually doing a Between Two Ferns interview next week.
Oh, I need the best sitar I can find, for radio music, tuh, radio music and retro like they were things from a thrift store that was the trend, I needed a basic human body to just play a bit of sitar,
Places where people spill their drinks, all these things have other meanings besides being the best,
So no, Camden town we have an endless supply of sitar players,
Available to everyone,
cool
Caves hide treasures...
God
Oh, there were some traditional music lines coming up, I'm not sure where, do they go into hiding,
Do we worry who grabs the instruments, well no, it's eternal,
ay tan guapo que es que me costaba ponerle atencion a lo que hablaba ´(._.)
Halo
I tried i gave up I tried I gave up
Is trent a director?
Trent looks like DeJesus.
Se7en used a Coil remix for the opening
Love is you....... hmmmmm. One step closer to god
KURT” NO THIS IS THE SAME TRENT YOU MET IN THE 1990s he kinda sold out in my opinion” oh I see
Maybe he should grow his hair long so we can recognize him please
I wanted to watch the whole thing but I couldn't focus on trent with the interviewer constantly going "mmm hmm , mmm hmmm" . It would be the same thing as listening to someone chew ice cubes and mashed potatoes right in your face at the same time... I'll always want to hear what Trent has to say but not if it makes me want to implant my head into a wall.
I didn't notice it until I read your comment LMAO now I can't unhear it
@@krspykreame1 mmm , hmm . mmm. Im sorry lol .
PERHAPS BEING A LITTLE HUMBLE HERE ... AND TO BE FAIR. WITH HIS GENIUS ? THATS COMPLETELY REFRESHING. HE HAD COMPOSED GHOSTS I - IV AND AT THE TIME OFFERED THE MUSIC UP TO STUDENT FILM MAKERS, UNPAID PROJECTS ... THAT KINDA THING AND ASKED NO ROYALTIES IN RETURN EXCEPT ... A "MUSIC BY NIN" WHO DOES THAT ? COMPLETELY UNHEARD OF AND HUGELY GENEROUS AND THEN A FEW OF THE TRACKS FORM THE BASIS OF THE SOCIAL NETWORK SOUNDTRACK. THEY WERE COMPLETELY FILMIC IN ORIGIN
God money is Jamie diamond on Hanuman 420
green screen
tl;dr Trent recycles Ghosts and adds some more ambient sound for a third time, gets another grammy/golden globe nomination.
Well he could play ELVIS WTF
Why does he need Atticus Ross are we certain the real Trent didn’t die in the late 1990s and get replaced? He real Trent I knew didn’t need a composer. But I touch on this topic in the 2005 interview oddd mannerisms things he’d never say or do suddenly not at all shy but egotistical, yet then says” I’ll just hide that song” in a very telltale Trent way. It’s so confusing. I got sober too but I didn’t change much I look the same dress the same do the same things minus drugs. Idk it’s just weird. his ears look bigger his moth is too crooked although it was slightly when he was young. Do women just age better? I’m so confused here . And this whole LA THING ITS THE ANTIETHIS TO PRETTY HATE MACHINE I’m confused oh God is he alive?
gosh

Never heard the soundtrack. Couldn't get into the movie at all. I find the subject matter... as well as the actor who played Mark Zuckerberg to be pretty intolerable. Can't understand why anyone would be interested in watching a movie about a antagonistic, backstabbing, idea stealing weasel.
