Story of that is: Don't work for somebody else's glory.
Well. That and let a man with glory help grow you
@@jiggerinokobalis609
Only Jesus Christ can do that, my man. And Trent ain't that.@@jiggerinokobalis609
Unfortunately most of us spend our lives making other people rich
That is the very sad truth.
And John Malm turned out to be a real class act too
Filter was and still is one of my favorite bands of that time. I even got to see them live at the Hollywood Palladium. Remember reading he wrote his album in a home Mac and studio. Hey man!!! Nice shot!!!
I like this guy
You know Trent and John Malm were laughing their asses off after he called Rich
And then John Malm went on to rob Trent blind.
Well, without which, we wouldn't have the band that I know and love, so silver lining there. but sucks ass when you're the one there and wading through the shit. You kicked ass though bud!
one of those rare beefs where it feels like everyone won in their own way
sure, filter may not have had the mainstream success has nin aside from a few hits… but rich’s catalogue is deep and packed! go check it out in full if you haven’t!
Richard still has that T-1000 blood running through his veins. So glad he went his own way.
Lol, you mean Robert Patrick?
@@Truedoogie I guess I mean Richard and Robert. I know who's who.
@@joemcallister275 Ok so what’s with the T-1000 blood thing…what do you mean?
@@Egoblivion just that Richard Patrick and his brother Robert Patrick both are resilient badasses. One is the T-1000, and the other is Richard Fucking Patrick!
@@joemcallister275 Dude I had no idea they were bros til now. Absolutely badass.
The Amalgamut is a masterpiece. I am so glad this dude found his own way in music.
Also army of anyone,best 00s rock album or one of
I got to see the NIN iteration with Rich when they played on the first Lollapalooza tour. They weren't big enough yet to get a night time slot so they were out there in the blazing Carolina sunlight with their smoke machines and their lights going off and you could barely see the stage. I already loved NIN because of Pretty hate Machine, but it definitely wasn't the best format for their live show.
That sounds amazing though and it's always nice to see them live
I got to see them back during the fragile tour (not one of my favorite albums though) at Madison square garden in New York and then a couple of days later again in Baltimore Maryland. Amazing show each time and Marilyn Manson came out during the end in New York to sting "Star Fuckers."
(Which was written about manson lol) One of the coolest moments in my life❤
@@kristinamercado5737 Yeah, it was still great but I've seen them at Lolla and at Coachella and if I were ranking their shows those would be the bottom two. I saw them at an arena in Greenville SC when they toured after the Coachella show and they were incredible! Easily ten times better. Also sa wthem when they toured with Bowie! But no signs of Mr. Manson any of those times. They do put on an amazing live show.
How could he not rent an apartment doing 700$ a week in 1994 money?
In LA it's probably not much even in 94
@@duffyiii It's 1400$! A week! Was LA that expensive?
He WAS making that while touring with nine inch nails. Once touring stopped, he stopped getting paid until their next tour. That was the job.
Richard wanted to have some creative role in the new music Trent was working on, but Trent would not allow it because he did not want to share any royalties or record sales. Nine inch nails has always been Trent with a group of hired musicians.
Exactly. Minimum wage back then was definitely less than $7.50. Now he wants to scam his own hired guns... Wtf? 😂
I went to high school with him. He's 6'. He's not 5'7".
I think they recognized he needed to leave to do his own work cuz of his talent so they made it to where he quit instead of playing it safe in NIN. He'd already made the connections and had the know how and experience. The only thing stopping him was himself. Maybe it wasn't that way, idk.
No.... Trent is actually a greedy narcissistic prick.
NIN didn't want him
Tbh, yeah. Like I'm sure they were like... bro you can do this- nobody's forcing you to stay latched to the nipple.
Which yeah, bit snarky but- if he's whining but he has all of the necessary connections and even ability -he should be just making his own shit if he wants more money.
He was not using all of those edges to his benefit...
I can relate a bit so I get it but even so- I think you're right. I think they pushed him out of the nest.
So..thats how he came Up with the Song "so i quit" which in my opinion is His heavist ever 👍💥🎶
Wouldn’t it have been funny if he took the job, and had to deliver a pizza to Trent’s house.
Did they ever play a show together NIN and Filter?
emotional: ruclips.net/video/Qu7Qh7QvREM/видео.html
They did, actually. Performed "Hey Man, Nice Shot" together
@@genesi544
That's good to hear!
I mean, yeah, he did the right thing, but $700 a week is like $1400 a week now, so something like $72-73k a year adjusted for inflation. I didn't make that until I had been a chemist for like 10 years lmao.
He wasn’t making that much money per year, he wasn’t on a pay roll like you are. That was his pay when working as a hired gun touring with NIN, and maybe working in studio as needed. Otherwise it sounds like he didn’t have a steady source of income.
I'm glad you are doing great! ❤
Maybe this guy was always having bigger dreams & aspirations so maybe he knew he was meant for more, which is good because he got it! Although I love love love NIN.
Title of Record is a great record
I would have turned up in a pizza delivery uniform.
I mean... Rage is a rolling ventil that leads to creative songwriting ideas. Maybe this offer made kind of his power to do his own stuff?
Trent had a point though
"Hey dad, what do you think about your son, now?"
$700 a week? In 1995 money? He could have handled the situation a lot better because even if he wasn't needed every week that still gives enough time to quietly find work with another band as well. I don't know, maybe Trent's response was reasonable.
For years Patrick said in interviews that the pizza delivery driver line was said to him by Trent reznor, now it’s the manager said it to him.
Love me some 9 inch nails and I didn't know who this guy was but I do like that "nice shot" song. I'm pretty sure it was about Kurt Cobain.
I'm glad he made it and he has really cool hair! Lol sounds like a four-year-old wrote this comment 😂❤
Love that song too! It was actually written about Budd Dwyer, the treasurer who shot himself on live tv. The Kurt Cobain thing is such a huge misconception that even Dave Grohl asked him about it lol
It’s called a job. Hey man nice shot filter was bad ass. Take my picture filter…not so much. But…well done👍
Richard Patrick = the alternative Dave Mustaine
I do like Filter, they had some awesome songs. But NIN wins for me every time
Sounds to me like Trent reznors cold advice made this guys career. Maybe not a fuck you but a thank you
he wasnt saying fuck you to trents advice of writing a record, he was saying fuck you to the the managers advice of delivering pizzas
Trent is not wrong lol
Trent makes good music but it's well known that he's a giant douche.
No way man , he should get a little more.
why were they treating him like that? that’s bad.
Such a joke how Reznor now complains about record companies exploiting him when he exploits musicians for his own gains in the same way lol
Everything was always Trents. His band, his songs, his lyrics. Everyone else was always hired staff.
$700 a week is good in today's money. No wonder he wanted you to stop bitchin.
Homeboy shoulda taken The Pizza Job.
Let's talk about 25 years ago forever.
He's the Dave Mustaine of the industrial scene.Can't enjoy his own success,because he's still dwelling on the past.
To be fair, the interviewer brought it up.
Cause people keep asking him about it.
salty
Nin manager and trent were assholes towards richard.no wonder he split away from nin.i wouldve too.filter came a long way since then,good choice.
So now we’re gonna denigrate pizza drivers.? Eh Richard.? Funny how you and Trent had a falling out, one CRIED over Musks acquisition of Twitter and the other WHINES about Trump, you two were made for each other…
What an entitled baby. 700 a week is more than most people make. Still wasn’t good enough.
well... most people don't have the same job. Only an idiot (or a dumb fanboy) would play for such a big band for only $700 a week. Not to mention being in the studio and recording stuff. I sure as hell wouldn't be happy seeing my boss thrive for years and me getting the same paycheck. He did the right thing by quitting, especially after that pizza delivery insult. The only entitled baby in this story is Trent. the music industry is a hell hole.
@@Tkivo Why is it only music where people hate artists for succeeding? Why don’t you say the same thing about CEOs, business owners, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. Its the same concept. The owner or ceo makes millions while everyone else makes thousands. Its called capitalism. Being a live performer for Trent’s live act is just that and no more. He didn’t create any music, he is playing what trent tells him to play.
Moronic take. To think 36k a year does anything for anyone in Los Angeles is completely braindead. Also insane to say that people don't say the same thing about CEOs these days, are you living in thailand in one of trent's sex dungeons for underaged girls?
@@bdoom6283 This was decades ago, 700 in today’s money is like $1,200 a week. Then don’t live in LA if you are a part-time contracted touring musician. And peasants have been complaining about that for thousands of years, to put it in an eternal context its the fight to the death between master and servant, as Hegel said. Life will always be that way, only the economic systems change. Also, what most people don’t understand is that it is extremely expensive to tour. Most bands back in the day didn’t make a profit touring, they break even or lose money. Only today with astronomical ticket prices due to music piracy is there more cash available to go around. He was getting a fair cut of the pie. Nine inch nails wasn’t headlining arenas, I think Spiral only sold a few million at the time. If you think 700 is bad, he should think about bands and artists that don’t even sell millions and made perhaps 700 in three weeks. It all goes back to wanting to be paid in money that isn’t even made through the work you are doing hence entitlement. He wants ALSO the royalties that trent gets which had nothing to do with him and represents lifetime of uncompensated creative work, trent toiling for nothng on his own time for years until he’s finally able to realize his full vision.
700 a week is absolutely a living wage. I think he’s also struggling with unrequited rock and roll fantasies. You have to be part of a creative process that sold many times more than trent could at the time. Guns n Roses was like that.
What trent isnt doing is hogging the money profited on tour for himself. I bet it was a roughly even split after expenses. I known this because I know the music industry unlike you.
You don't understand things do you? It's not about how much money you make. It's about how much money everyone else make off you back.
Wow, thats totally fucked. I never understood the concept of NiN. Did the "other members" just play live with Trent. He always wrote/recorded all the music then brought the "others" in, told them what he wanted, then they played it live?
Trent Reznor IS Nine Inch Nails
Trent described NIN as being two entities, the live band which included members like Patrick, Danny Lohner, Robin Finck, Ilan Rubin, etc who are just hired guns
And the studio entity which is Trent and whoever happens to be in the studio with him at the time.
Trent writes all the music and all of the lyrics. He stated in interviews that the whole reason he started NIN was because the previous bands he worked with (Exotic Birds, Slam Bamboo, etc) were difficult to work with in the studio and weren't even on the same page in terms of musical direction. He couldn't find musicians that could properly translate what he was thinking at the time, so he did everything himself. Earlier on Trent thought of studio NIN being only himself, but later in life he's more freely admitted that the bands sound is the result of all the studio musicians that have contributed with Trent's overall guidance.
Trent writes all the music, but a lot of the sounds, synths, samples, and various parts have comes from the likes of Atticus Ross, Chris Vrenna, Charlie Clouser, Alesandro Cortini, and other studio musicians. However he considers Atticus Ross to be the only true other member of NIN other than himself because of the sheer amount of contributions he has made in the past few decades. Atticus is the only person that Trent has worked with in the studio that gels with him perfectly.
The live band however doesn't just play clinical versions of the tracks, they interpret the music live and give them own input. The live versions of songs are arguably better than the studio versions (which is rare for a band) and each member has a degree of influence on the overall sound and gives their input and ideas.
Richard Patrick's only recorded contribution to NIN was a guitar drone between 'Sanctified' and 'Something I can Never Have' on Pretty Hate Machine, but was listed as an influence on Broken because in his own words he was constantly telling Trent to 'keep it dark, keep in heavy'.
Patrick was hired because Trent needed a live guitarist, and in context of NIN that's all he ever was. He proved to be a talented song writer in his own right, but needed to leave the band to accomplish that.
Vrenna however had far more of an influence in the studio being responsible for much of the programming, drum machines, and samples on Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, and The Downward Spiral. There is a notable change in musical style after he left the band, and you can hear this influence on his own albums with Tweaker.
Reznor was always a Ministry wannabe. Is this the Filter guy? Gee, write a song on a sensationalized suicide! Sorry, wrong meeting!
Although Dwyer was the impetus that started him thinking on the topic of sui cide, the song wasn't specifically about Budd Dwyer and his very public act.
Many thought it was about Cobain as well, but neither are specifically true. I forget how he worded it but he said he was fascinated by the idea of someone taking their end into their own hands and how much power and resolve it would take to do that.
Please remember I'm paraphrasing a half remembered interview... The words may not have been "power and resolve" but this was the gyst of it.
If you can’t see how different their artistic trajectories are I do not know what to tell you. NIN sounds just as much like Ministry as Skinny Puppy sounds like Ministry, which is to say the only similarity is the genre stylings.
@@etalex7074 - Understand your point. I heard Ministry and Skinny Puppy at entirety different times back in the 80s.
Also, apart from a few songs, they sound completely different to me.
Richard has written some huge bangers. What are you on about?
