Видеоклипы
It is so difficult for me as a long time fan of Trent's music to see him 3 months before one of his worst overdoses. He was really masterful in hiding his addiction and self destruction to the public, but if you pay attention, you can tell that he was suffering. I can genuinely say that I'm extremely happy that he turned his life around and lives peacefully now. He is an inspiration to me as a musician.
👍👍👍
It's crazy how he used to be so awkward in interviews in the past, and now he seems so calm, very thoughtful, and wise in his contemporary interviews.
Good point. I don't think everyone who's deep in that stuff acts like that though.
***** He was not completely clean at that time according to him and his interview in 2005.
His "interviews" all state ALCOHOL. He does NOT look drunk.
Nowadays it seems he can't stop talking!
Bowie was exactly the same when he first started. Very awkward but later very comfortable in interiews.
I like the way his voice cracks sometimes.
@@Ketannabis? more like Gonad.
@@mangi1337 Yes, I am a testicle.
much music.
so Reznor.
very interview.
wow
I just want to hug Trent... :(
Recién he escrito sobre eso y ahora minutos después veo esto ...Adoro a ese tipo , es un fπ¢€✓✓ talentoso dios de la música
IM SO PROUD OF TRENT AND WHERE HE IS NOW!
IMHO, The Fragile is so much deeper than The Downward Spiral. It took me MONTHS to fully digest all the layers of that album - So full of subtle nuances. And when you finally 'appreciate' something, its very rewarding. For me, that album represents the height of his career. That 'vulnerability' he speaks of is palpable.
Steve Paul - one of my favorite aspects of this album is that he uses th same composition on multiple songs and he uses different instruments on each composition. He mentioned he wrote th record like that so that each song can flow in and out of each song. And he wanted to revisit certain beautiful melodies into different environments and I think it turned out beautifully.
my favorite album. n just like he says, its a story meant to be listened to from start to finish. wonder how many hours i have on that
LOL no. There's a reason artists like Johnny Cash, David Bowie, Adrian Belew, Coil and many others connected to The Downward Spiral. There's a reason it sold double of any of his other releases. A reason it earned him soundtrack work with Oliver Stone and David Lynch. TDS is a timeless masterpiece. An influential album. The Fragile on the other hand is little more than watered down pop music....nothing special. Most people identify with that because most of the population live boring lives and seek comfort above all else. They want comforting, watered down music. They can't handle intensity or anything that's strange, or dark and distorted.....a true reflection of existence. The Fragile reflects where Trent was at 5 years after the success of TDS. Has everything he can ever want, no longer hungry. Happens to the best of them. Nine Inch Nails best releases are the TDS....and then Fixed at 2nd.
Fragile is musically beautiful...but lyrically cringy. Tds all the way
@@Abruzzo333 dude, you’re being “that guy” with this comment. I don’t want to start a typical RUclips ugly argument that turns into nothing but insults etc, I just wanna stand up for my personal favorite album of all time. It struck a chord, it’s personal, saved my life, probably more than once. I definitely agree that TDS is THE SHIT, it’s right there by it’s side, and for the record, everything I’ve ever read about that time in his life was nothing like you’re saying. He almost died of an overdose, had to pour all of his own money into the tour because interscope wasn’t properly supporting it. I could go on, but I won’t for everyone’s sake. Just put some respect on it man, it’s a great album that still sounds brilliant today.
Im 37, been a fan of trent for a long time, come a long way in my own life. Never saw this interview, but have to say coming out of isolation and having social anxiety, this took huge fucking balls to do this interview. He handled it extremely well
;;~;; he did and everyone's vibe was rancid, he prob felt that so hard. i can tell how exhausted he becomes every few questions, unless hes saying something meaningful and believed people were understanding that
I love that at 2:12 you can hear a Windows 95 computer starting up in the background..
that fresh good old sound from the 90s... they don't make them like this anymore
I asked my parents to tape this when it played on TV back in 2000 - I was just 13. Now I'm 33, just one year younger than he is here. Only now do I see, understand and empathize with his clear unease in this interview.
Same, same.
I just started listening to NIN about 4 weeks ago, got all their albums, saw them twice in Sydney. I feel like i've a made a new best friend in Trent. He seems so genuine in his thoughts. Amazing artist.
I saw that first sydney show a couple weeks ago. Flew all the way from the US. Amazing show! Loved listening to aussies sing along with their accent haha
Everyone feels that way. He has an amazing power.
It's amazing when you discover NIN and just dig through their catalogue, it's insanely consistent. I think he's the most consistent and one of the most creative artists in music today by far.
Trent has always been so smart. You get the sence every time he talk that he knows what he's talking about
so adorable
I love how awkward he is in all of his interviews
WOW, he's so shaken up.
+Scott Christina Not sure I would be comfortable being surrounded by 30 some people just staring at me while I answered questions.
It's the drugs.
@@bradydavis5791 ya exaclty. He was in his biggest heroin and alcohol hole 1999-2001
Trent Reznor....what a great musician. Been a fan of NIN forever, Trents's music speaks on so many levels to me. Nothing remains the same.........
Also Somewhat Damaged is my favorite song of all time
I love how absolutely open he is. What an absolutely beautiful human being ❤️ I have always loved him and his work since I was just 12 when I discovered him. I'm 37 and I am still amazed with everything he has done.
I'm surprised at how well he handles interviews, despite his social anxiety. I have social anxiety and a similar personality and am certain I'd completely embarrass myself
love trent with every fiber
wow he's so down-to-earth. he even admits he's not happy with his own video! so real it's scary.
If I'm not careful, my whole favourites folder is going to be overtaken by NIN. I keep clicking and thinking, oh, just one more, but every single fucking one is so interesting and inspiring.
His interviews always make me feel anxious. His presence is certainly strong, even through video 21 years later.
That's a horrible way of interviewing someone, being surrounded by lots of people, especially if they have social anxiety like Trent. Who organized this interview? I feel awful for Trent, he looks terribly uncomfortable.
This is the first time I seen this video but this is another reason I respect him so much because I can relate to this. I would be very uncomfortable with this type of interview like he seems to be
Who cares
I can see a puffiness to his face, and recognize hes probably new doing H. He loves it and he's trying to feel and act "normal". That haircut...lol, still sexy tho.
He dosent seem like he has social anxiety lol.
Late 90's early 2000's this is how music channels operated. You can go back and watch MTV, VH1, BET, they all did it the same.
Love this interview. So candid, honest and down to earth.
Rock on Trent.
One of the best interviews ive ever seen.
Wow he is sharing all his secrets, loved every second! you hardly ever see an interview with no bullshit involved
I, as a nurse, do not believe he is suffering from withdraw in this interview. His pupils are not dilated nor constricted indicating no narcotics or stimulants. Notice that he is inconstant motion while he sits in the chair, for example crossing his arms. This indicates he is very uncomfortable. I would say he has agoraphobia or a fear of open spaces. I love Trent no mater what he has.... we all have something wrong whether physical or mental.
lilu3063 Luckily, you're a nurse and not a psychologist or an English teacher.
anx1300c Jesus man, don't have to bite her head off!
I think it's quite a bit simpler. He wasn't happy with what he put out and now, because of his record contract, must sit in front of crowds like this and attempt to sell something that he's ultimately not proud of. So instead of faking it he straight up apologizes.
He said the same thing about Broken after it was released too.
Trent has NOT EVER done drugs. He is US Air Force, and they don't let you fly if you have EVER taken drugs. The reason he is uncomfortable is that he is doing the interview without any other band members, they have made him sit in the center of a circle of approx. 25 people, like "piggy in the middle". And someone asked him about a professional disagreement he had with a band member, and THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT IT.
Oh Man ...se me llenaron los ojos de lágrimas ...el tuvo q cortar su trabajo por su recuperación ...gran obra de arte THE FRAGILE ...se veía cansado , consumido y con poca voz ...el es mí dios...y lo será siempre ...
Trent! Ages like a good wine! Musical genius🖤
👍👍👍
Great interview, thanks for sharing
My favourite NIN album.
The fragile is my ❤favorite album
Trent bae asf
DAMN YOU REZNOR DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol!!!! super nice and sincere explanation and then the interviewer says "cool" in the most dismissive way imaginable.
im glad i wasn't the only one who noticed she had a very deliberately controlled 'tude for some reason
actually a good question from the audience
u better not be talking about the geek who brought up manson
You could say he was... somewhat damaged.
[Puts on sunglasses]
Don't BS, I'm miserable too.
he made that joke... first ;^0
@@shelbyeatskidss every day
I remember watching this on air.. a few days after the concert,.. My buddy's g/f / my mutual friend commented on how calm Trent looked during this interview at the time.. As opposed to the chaos that ensued during the show a few days before..
Very substantial reflections on the creative process, excellent. This guy is really in touch with his musicality.
I dont think he is high here, just socially awkward and a bit uncomfortable. I could be wrong though, who knows.
hes not high, hes getting used to being not high around people after so long
grew up on these albums... had no idea this was the writing process... but at the same time... i feel like i kind of did
Love NIN.
same here!!
Only today,more than 12 years later,am I able to recognise some sort of dark significance of this event.I had been living in Japan for more than two years (with a woman,from Yokohama,whom I'd met in England) and was,by this time,feeling a mounting despair, after a long period of looking for a stable vocation.) Not being the ardent NIN fan as "N" was, and being seated far from the stage,I wasn't able to clearly see T.R's downward spiral.My descent began about nineteen months later.
I fucking miss Much Music when they actually used to care about music. Now all they show is stupid reality television shows
Trent Reznor And The Exorcist Poltergeist Are The Best Two Artists Of All Time
Dude he is saying the names of like three songs in his describing the album (if you pay attention) :D TRENT IS DA BAMPH
2:12 My final message... goodbye
haha you can see the crowds outside the window grow as the interview goes on as people start realising "hey its goddamn trent reznor in there!"
I DID! x3
Trent for prez
👍👍👍
over the years inside this wonderful double album I have hidden sheets of paper with passwords and documents
im interested please go on
i just slapped everyone in the comments cuz i was so mad at them diminishing my spirit son who is 30 years older than me and im proud of him
all for u trent, much respects. i will swing my sword at those phony posers who claim to understand your music and go aroun n say dookie. ur not here to do it so i must. everybody give him his space >:0
no one cares
I think the reason why he seems uncomfortable was because he was surrounded by a bunch of snotty Hot topic kids. I'd be uncomfortable too.
He stated in interviews in 2005 that he had isolated himself a lot during this era, and he was still not clean. Probably explains him looking a bit uncomfortable.
@ericbombardier wow!!
I would be proud too if i created the Fragile
👍👍👍
He's sober in this interview but If I remember correctly it was sometime after the tour that he went into rehab.
honestly i can fucking tell why just from this interview and how people see him
Easily their best album. Best phase despite how dark it is
Its darkness is part of why it’s so special
David Bowe wrires alot of his lyrics and Trent does his thing with the music. The duo is something that can never be copied. People have tried and failed (manson).
Jason Cropper what are you talking about!?
Ticket. Two ticket big tickets today 2021 $500 in Oakland ca
I'm the weirdo who showed up in angel wings 😂
1st ever NIN album i heard and loved was [WITH_TEETH] then The Fragile and then others.....sigh...pop fucked me up big time.
anyone knows the name of this interviewer? I can't seem to be able to find it anywhere!
God, somebody tell a joke...too quiet and serious. Had to be very uncomfortable. For everyone.
trent was tellin lil jokes. maybe they wouldnt all be uncomfortable if they didnt make this boy feel so overwhelmed while hes obviously vulnerable
... dude literally all the drugs they had in the 90s they had in the 80s, and the 70s... and the 60s... and 50s... you get the point. It just gets stronger. and guess what, drugs are stronger now than they were in the 90s. and guess what, all teenagers are baked all the time still. It's not a 90s thing its a teenage thing...
Uh Qualuudes were in abundance in the 60’s-80’s and are all but extinct now. Acid in the 60 and 70’s was better and more pure than anything after it and some even claim that it’s absolutely nothing like it now and that the acid now a days isn’t even acid, so is also an extinct drug. Cocaine was as pure as it would ever be in the 80’s and now you can’t find coke that hasn’t been cut with everything under the sun, even cut with fentanyl which a speck will kill you.
What a dumb comment.

@TranshumanCyborg cheers we all wanted to hear that
Wasnt this also the year where he accidently overdosed on heroin? I remember that after that experience he became sober.
Who does he mention at the 3:05 mark as being a big influence ? I can't make out the name he says.
This is literally what I sound like when I'm on the verge of a panic attack. Dry mouth and I cant make words LMFAO poor Trent.
Debussy, the French composer
@@tryste_mx Thank you I thought that's who he might of mentioned but wasn't completely sure.
Is that a Reboot shirt?
1996 Crash Movie by David Cronemberg
pretty sure this was right at the beginning of his sobriety. if he seems awkward and uncomfortable it's probably because he wasn't used to doing this kind of thing sober, not because he was high......

02:45 He is still "young" today, tho...
Honestly my own generation probably had it worse because we were all teens, then. But actually there was a lot of other music going on at the time besides just that stuff and I pretty much stuck my head in the sand and ignored grunge and that entire movement, and it wasn't hard to do, either.
$5.0000000
It's so funny that he never likes a majority of music videos he's made (Into the Void, The Perfect Drug, Deep) or has had major back and forths with directors on visions (Every Day Is Exactly the Same, original Hurt & March of the Pigs videos)
He seems so uncomfortable here xd
whose DAY-BOOSIE? Oh yeah Debussy
anyone know who that cute asian interviewers name is?
She is hot, but probably looks like Mr. Miyagi now, from Karate Kid 2. ..
Sook Yin Lee
Kenny Killed you.
Rc02 - Dead Banana.
@ninmachine109 Ha yeah he kinda shits all over the rest of the show by saying that at the end xD
I LIVE in Big Sur, and Reznor doesn't fit 3:41
Is it just me or does he remind you of Owen Wilson?
You must mean that other Trent Reznor IMPERSONATOR, "Nathan". The a$$hat probably dyes his hair blond and pretends to be Owen, also. :/
h-...how dare you

@@EasyPeasy_Japanesey lol
Trent looks really white on this interview.
It's Canada - not much tanning.
Gay
That's because he's white
He’s coked up in this interview
i think he might be having withdrawals during this interview..
Chad Marshall sure looks like it. or he stopped drinking hours earlier but kept doing coke.
