yeah I didn't realize that his experience went so far back into New Wave. none of his own music seems to hold onto those roots. I guess that's true for other notables at the time as well, for example cEvin Key of skinny puppy was drummer for a New Wave band and that's where he got his experience with synth, learning how to trigger sequences with his kit. I think it's kind of strange the direction they went when they went on their own when you consider that the starting point was New Wave. I also think it's funny that he just rolls with the idea that Nine Inch Nails is a band, using the word "we" a lot when it's only him. The only time that it was anything but a solo act was on tour and then it was always different musicians to fill the roles until after Woodstock '94. I'd honestly like to see a graph of the record sales of Pretty Hate Machine pre and post Woodstock 94, to see how much of a difference that exposure contributed to his big break, as well as how much bleed over of non-industrial music fans that caused the other bands such as Skinny Puppy and My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult. one thing you don't really talk about here is where the singles Happiness In Slavery & Get Down Make Love fits in. they're included with singles from other songs that eventually went on pretty hate machine, however happiness in slavery and get down make love are the only NIN singles that I heard on the radio prior to The Downward Spiral, and they were the only ones that were in rotation, I never heard anything from the Pretty Hate Machine until Woodstock 94, and neither of those songs are included on it, I think it's so weird that they were so popular but they didn't make it on the album.

You want a little more Trent inspiration? Here's one of many stories I personally had with Trent back in the day I'll share with you if you've got a minute my friends. As a young punk kid wannabe rocker & budding musician growing up in Cleveland wanting to rock. Music was a calling & in my blood at an early age from the jump, no doubt. At the top of my street there was a music store called "Pi Keyboard & Audio." It wasn't your average music store, it was completely cutting edge that dealt exclusively in top of the line pro gear that we had back then. So, my daily routine walking home from school was dropping by the store to chop it up with the dude's who worked there. Seeing I had to pass by the store everyday it was an easy choice to make obviously, right? 😂😜 The thing about it is being the curious George I was intrigued to soak up as much knowledge as I could from those dudes. They were all cool AF to me even though I constantly bugged them all the time. Which I'm still very grateful for them being so cool to me instead of being a bunch of dlckheads they could of easily been for me being a pain in the azz all the time. Back then those dudes were my cat's & all that & as cool as they come who taught me a lot of knowledge in music & what the new digital age in music worked & had to offer. Yet one guy who worked there never had a problem to help me out whenever I had a question knowing he was once me not to long ago. His name was "Trent Reznor" but AKA "T" to me. I was 12 going on 13 & T was already a rockstar to me. Not to mention "T" is also one of the coolest MFer's I've ever met & the pleasure to break bread with still to this day for sure. Shout out to all of them though they taught this young punk a lot in music. However I think most of the time me & "T" spent fiddling around on different equipment back then was also a way for him to learn something new himself trying to maximize everything the gear had to offer. Either way that's my story & I'm sticking to it on why I know Rez is an awesome dude who didn't really have to give me the time of day but knew I was serious & wasn't playing around. (pun intended) 😜 Mic drop, I'm outta here! +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Souls My Friends+ 🤘😉🤘

I recently got into the self-titled Prick album while exploring some more obscure 90s industrial rock - like three of those songs originated with the Lucky Pierre album that has Trent on it, and it makes sense because there's this quirky, self aware new wave feel to the whole album underneath the noisy industrial metal aesthetic.

Now that I think about it, I have "Cleanse Fold and Manipulate" in my car CD player _right now._ If you "no true Scotsmen" snobs had your way, it would only be your favorite six bands in any one genre and everything else would be "pop" music to be sneered down on. Well, tough shit. NIN is _well established_ as industrial rock by virtually any source you check. If you want to keep NIN out of the cool kids club, you're at least 30 years too late to make that stand. Is the typical NIN fan going to enjoy Throbbing Gristle? LOL, no, fucking of course not.

That TOP SECRET main vocal line sounds A LOT like "Don't Stand So Close To Me" kzitem.info/news/bejne/rIR_wKOciXRpjYI Which appears to go hand in hand with THE POLICE influence. One can't help but remember Trent's reimagining of Bowie's song "Crystal Japan", which he called "A Warm Place". Trent thought the tune was familiar in the back of his head as he was writing it out on piano, but couldn't figure out why. Turns out he heard it before from his idol Bowie, just couldn't place where he heard it at time of release (otherwise he probably wouldn't have released it at all, which'd be a shame because "A Warm Place" is really good, it's own song in a sense, in it's own right at least as a re-adaptation)

While he was really smart, funny and beautiful he was hard a f to live with and turns out was really bad at math. People, math is really important. IYKYK

What the f***** f*** man? Your research skills are lacking is an understatement. The first time I saw Trent was with PIGFACE in CHICAGO doing his PIGFACE song SUCK. It was in Pigface that he developed his industrial style that he would take to form Nine Inch Nails, working at Waxtrax (now Invisible Records). I'm trying to remember who else was in Pigface for that tour. Martin Atkins, of course. Most of Killing Joke including Geordie and Big Paul. I remember Raven coming out with a teddy bear with a pig mask and setting it on one of the amps. Ogre from Skinny Puppy had a song. The rest is kind of a blur. There were at least a dozen people on stage at the end. It was probably at Cabaret Metro, but don't quote me on that. Anyone remember this?
