    VIDEO INFO: Trent Reznor is yet another renessanse man of rock music. He’s most famous for running Nine Inch Nails, but over the years he has branched out to doing film scores, starting his own
    label and doing various side-projects. But the man who created one of the darkest and most outstanding industrial albums of all time is far from finished. His new album Bad Witch is just around the corner, and just like with his previous albums,it seems like Trent is leading his
    fans into yet another cryptic and dark soundscape.

      But sometimes he is just that “in your face,” and I love that. Some songs you pull in your own experience, others, your flipping off what’s mainstream. 20 years later and a completely different level in my life, I still love Reznor. It’s weird to love albums you can’t listen to in front of your kids, lol

      ​@@Truthster772 Mr self destruct is the best example of that. One knowing the album is literally called "The Downward Spiral" must think that it starts off nice and goes heavier over time, but no. The first song is the one I consider the most heavy (With Big man with a gun) to scare off all of the people who can't handle the album. Who will receive an incorrect picture of it. And those who are afraid of who they are or aren't and don't want to be

      Lie Likes Music hey great question,,,,, well for example, how many people do you know that speak about NIN, in a casual setting,, ordinary people that just put on a NIN song at a medium volume and quietly listen to a track? in my life absoloutly n one,,, nobody,,,,,, i will play and sing “ “everyday is exactly the same”...... 2nd “terrible lie”......, and usually get nothing as far as corespondence....... yet every single human knows “fuck u like an animal”? for the volume and large vast areas the man has influenced, i.e. excellent 90s pc game “Quake”. ? i havent heard anyone say the name trent reznor for a decade maybe more..... even myself i will go in small runs of NIN once in a great while.....
      my opinion tho,,, thx for the inquiry,,, to be honest im very disatisfied with almost all music after 2005 or so,,, even more so in recent era’s..... downrite disgusted to the point of anger,,,, terrestrial radio, broadcast TV, and cable television i avoid like the pleague... its soo terrible... agree? im a pysco tho,,,,,, -salute. good video

      Really?? Couldn't disagree more lol! Sounds very "stuck in time" to me with the production choices. Trent has also said there's at least two songs where he felt like he didn't capture the essence fo what he thought it was and tried to rewrite them as new songs later. Your entitled to youropinion- its all good- I've just never felt that way. Hes definitely proficient but its a pretty big step away from where he ended up..

How he described listening to music, being mysterious and his discovery was spot on to how I felt when I first heard Björk for example. I had absolutely no idea what she looked like and I didn’t care because her voice and music spoke to my soul and that was it. That’s pretty much how I judge all musicians that I love and when I first heard NIN it was like someone was watching all of the times I’ve been bullied, ostracized and abused by family members. I listen to Trent’s emotions, technicalities, lyrics and then later I went online to see what he looked like but by then it didn’t matter.

    I've been having some thoughts about Trent and how he's evolved over the years and I think it reflects an interesting sort of take on recovery that I don't usually see depicted. He was in that really dark place around the time of The Fragile, struggling with depression and substance abuse and grief. And usually what you see from musicians and celebrities when they've had a really rough time is they make this huge comeback with inspirational uplifting anthems about inner strength and light and whatever. But for Trent, even though he has become more healthy and stable and happy with his work and his life, there are still those feelings of emptiness and alienation and cynicism that haven't gone away. I think he does something unique in that he shows honestly the cyclic nature of depression and that he's made peace with the fact that it's just a part of him. It doesn't mean imminent doom anymore, it just kind of is what it is.

    • @LieLikesMusic

      Yeah that's an interesting idea. If i thought about that myself i would've included it in the video.
      It seems like he's gone for the route in music that seems the most familiar to him. He keeps on
      expressing the feelings that made the biggest impact on him as a person. So i guess his dark sides
      were more evident in him even after the recovery.

    I came across Trent Reznor when I was 12 years old, played Quake 2 and started to listen to all the strange background noises. I used to listen to that background music when I was falling asleep. Still, 12 years old. This was in my pre-internet years, but I remembered his name and soon after started to buy NIN-albums. What can I say, 22 years later, seen NIN live a couple of times and I just have so much respect for this man and everything he is creating. And also.. I can’t help but have a special place in my heart for music/artists/movies that I loved before everything got so easy to find online... I’ll always keep my NIN-cd collection.

    I gotta admit he's my man crush. He's a musical genius and an awesome person in general. If I had to pick the best album of the 90's it would be The Downward Spiral. It's unfathomable to think that it was released on 94 when you listen to it. The overall soundscape is still trail blazing. To add, in my opinion Year Zero is one of the best albums of 2000's and my favourite album of the 2000-2010 NIN era. Last time NIN visited Finland in 2013, a country from where I'm from. At the time I hadn't yet discovered the band so I missed the show. It's been a long time coming, but I have a plan which I'm going to complete. I'm going abroad to see this band. One way or the other. You got yourself a subscriber. Thank you for this video!

    "ide put on a record and ide relate to that song, and it felt like that person knows how i feel, im not alone" that’s funny because nine inch nails's "something i can never have" made me feel exactly that way, i was dealing with a lot of tough shit at the time and when i found that song im like "holy shit yea everywhere i look i would i always think of her, i keep thinking of the short time i had with her and how every time I would think of her it would always be in a situation that would never be,every good thought of her would just be a thought and not something I’ll ever have experience with her” and that fucked me up that song was the perfect way to cope because I know he felt the same.

    Assuming that humanity makes it another three hundred years or so and we haven't totally destroyed our planet and our genetics, I think Trent and Nine Inch Nails will be studied in music college courses everywhere, and Spiral will be up there with the best known classical music. This music is one of the few examples that will hold up with "the stains of time" to quote Trent, being as the music and lyrics have the potential to skirt that most persistant of destroyers. Obviously the pop music of today and the last 30 years will dissolve like sugar in water, but even much of the critically acclaimed and admittedly clever lyrical content of the juggernaut that is hip hop/rap contain too many coloquialism to reach across decades and beyond and speak to our future selves. Say what you like about Trent's lyrics and the often "nobody understands me" annoying kind of fans the music attracts, but this overused line that follows just fits, this stuff is art. It's art in the same way Mary Shelly, Van Gogh and Poe created dark art. After 1981 I'd say there's a short list of music and musicians that deserve the label timeless and/or musical genius, Prince, Maynard, some of what Kanye did, the guys from Meshuggah and maybe a handful of others and Trent certainly deserves a spot. Much of his music is simultaneously accessible and dense, which is no mean feat to pull off.

(children and youth whatever it is,lol) I think she's retired now. Being a musician myself,I approached him one time and asked him what advice he had for me as a fellow musician trying to make it out of a small town like him. His reply was YOU GOTTA KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO AND JUST DO IT, it took me a few years to completely understand that sentence ,it's the best advice I've ever got
    Then if you drive 10 minutes the complete opposite direction from Mercer you come to Girard Ohio where Dave Grohl is from,yet they say there's nothing going on in this area,lol

    The soundtrack of my teenage years. His particular blend of orchestra with electronics heavily influenced how I make music.
