You have a gaudy tape-hiss. Just gross.

25:44 finally!

4:37 skip the intro

Jesus, why the fuck are you so dumpy??

Good luck with your demons. I got mine as well. We all do. Thank you for the video.

This takes me back to 2016 when I successfully managed to gather all the work that Trent Rezor was involved in somehow and convert it to MP3... this took me a few weeks, maybe one day I'll save it somewhere for other people who are interested

"This is Nine Inch Nails with 'down innit?' "

More people should see this channel

The option 30 song you played is a Falco song cover called der kommissar. either that or they just riped it off, i didnt listen long enough to know.

WHats the song at 0:41?

That top secret information song kicks ass dude lol for real

Tape-hiss you will neva kno' the impact dat NIN had and continues to have in my life. Good video.

'promo sm'

This is blowing my mind. I had no idea Trent was in so many bands before NIN.

I don't remember Trent Reznor talking about any of this in Spin or Rolling Stone. I wonder why.

Severely impressed by this deep dive and research. Especially from someone who admits to not even being that big if a NIN fan. WELL DONE!

You gotta salute tracks like this

This was like the Early Life/Projects of this Wikipedia article come to life with some added bonus information even a long time fan had not known. Thanks!

Every now-and-then KZbin actually recommends something good.

80's was so Gay and Cold decade.

I'm a huge fan of Slam Bamboo's album so I had to check this out. Shocked you don't have more subscribers, super funny editing and really informative. Great content!

this is like Pantera's "Glam Period" but for Trent Reznor.

That unreleased Exotic Birds song sounds like Bizarre Love Triangle

Thx for this

this was kool!!!!!

Before Trent was famous, he worked at a music store near Cleveland, Ohio where I used to shop. He demoed some equipment for me.

I met Trent's mom & dad at Sears where I used to work, I loaded a water heater in his truck for them.

Man this is such a good video! As a NIN fan I'm impressed!

Haha! Thank you, this was funny and fun, fun! Saw NIN twice in Hollywood. I was underage and went to a liquor store on the way and had to let a bum kiss me to get some bart-ells n’ James so we didn’t have to go to the concert sober. Duh. It was the 90’s. It didn’t suck like… now brahhhh! 😅

If you're more interested in this side of Trent, check out his NIN demo Purest Feeling. it made TVT Records see Depeche Mode-shaped dollar signs before Reznor darkened the tunes into what became Pretty Hate Machine. arguably the closest one will get to this more exuberant fun after that is probably the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem soundtrack in 2023 (in which one can clearly hear how so many action films over the last 20 years aped Trent's sound only for him to best them all himself, for a ~Ninja Turtles movie~.)

I love all the archive videos you managed to get for this video. The bands mentioned before NIN, I had never seen them beyond photos. It's interesting to see a young Trent before forming NIN in the late '80s.

Ahh, Down In It, one of the all time Christmas classics 😄Great video!

I am with you. I hate the Eagles, man

Wow he's been in some terrible bands, I've been in loads of bands and none of them were this shit, was in a band with a guy who couldn't really sing but we carried him and he looked cool, the band wasn't shit though, these were all commercial shite

That’s a cover, Joe Jackson’s Look Sharp!

Man, hearing the original version of Prick's "Other People" made me appreciate the Nothing Records version a bit more. It needed that extra touch of aggro that Trent gave it.

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.

"As someone who is high right now and doesn't really want to be".. I feel you bro. Having to wake up after 2 hours because it's time for the next one really sucks. Much strength to you

I had no idea he had any sense of humor!

i saw him in the exotic birds a few times in the 80s

Remember , kids... Every one of your favorites were dorks trying to sound like their favorites... Just like you.

The sax was better in the 80's.

I thought that Trent was part of Ministry when they were a synth pop band in 1983 I Wanted to Tell Her/ Work for Love? Am I wrong?

Dude this is great

He was honing his sound, with the influences of the Police, new wave, post-punk and other pop music, he formed his Industrial sound, Broken pretty much broke him free from it all to his own persona we all came to love.

Rabbit holes brought me here. Some beers and a vodka had me mistake my future late husband for Trent Reznor 821ish weeks ago one night in a well known industrial club. He could have been his stunt double. Anyway, Trent's stunt double was a golden boy who could show up anywhere and climb. He made it well into the petroleum industry. Then the fumes got to him. 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

You didn't mention that he rented and lived in the Mason house for over a year to record an album

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?

"Hi im turnt Reznor of nineninch nails" 😂😂😂

Needs more heroin. Then less heroin. More David Bowie. Less David Bowie. I wish you’d edit it so I can read the memes.
