Option 30 - Gotta look sharp

Trent Reznor before Nine Inch Nails.
Wow, watch Trent dance!!

[@mightyPants]

I'd die a happy person if during a NIN show Trent suddenly breaks out this dance and song.

[@ThatBrothaBill]

Didn't know Trent could boogie haha :)

[@britneydeville]

I always had a feeling he had moves. This is everything I ever wanted to see LMAO

[@preciousmousse]

Lol I can totally relate

[@metalgrinch]

Damn Trent was in so many musical projects before he started nin. Just goes to show his devotion to music.

[@Nosferata138]

Too cute. I admit I'm giggling a tad.

[@hellfeather2011]

When he did that hip wiggle with his hands up i nearly choked on my drink

[@jaysterjay]

He's more frighting then than he ever was with Nine Inch Nails! lol

[@stepthrough6169]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 the pelvic gyrations are haunting

[@zeitok8]

He got just 19 here, amazing!!!

[@acidpolly]

I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of here. Nice song, nice attitude. Even here he looks like a real leader :)

[@RussX5Z]

Wow this was before Trent became depressed and pissed off. I like his confident dance moves. Great video!

[@Kyle_The_Mighty]

Oh I’m sure he still was. Hiding it is a skill all depressed people have.

[@mrkirios]

pretty dance machine

[@pkitty2219]

This is priceless! hahaha Trent is the best.

[@joshwilbur4980]

My uncle Todd is the drummer.

[@foamystwinsister]

Just the way he pronounces the last word of every verse is funny enough, but THE MOVES? Comedy gold :D And that tailed coat is pretty stylin', too.

[@CesMan83]

Wow, Trent kinda looked like the lead singer of Men At Work in this classic clip!

[@mikeblanchard2476]

I'm thinking his change in musical direction came after he watched this video and realized the best part of the song was at 0:36.

[@WWVND]

I want to see a NIN version of this played live out of nowhere.

[@Corvus303]

omg baby Trent

[@MrAzazel666]

Man, Trent is a fucking legend.

[@indefinitecure]

oh my god those moves are like Dave Gahan's moves in the days

[@hellfeather2011]

Awww baby trent with his 80s wiggle-dance

[@rainbowrotcod]

it looks like hes having so much fun!!!!! This video makes me so happy. Awesome music.

[@rainbowrotcod]

Sooo true bestie

[@downtempoguy]

This is so awesome' Trent was a showman even then.

[@ninfan2793]

damn, who knew he could dance like that!!! too bad he never did that on tour :(

[@hellfire718]

Pure awesome. I always knew the man could dance. :D

[@britneydeville]

SAME

[@jhdrummer4815]

For being his first steps in music business is not bad at all. Interesting to see how some traits of what would later have been NIN are already present.

[@jolikaaa]

hey, love you trent. He is so young and he is full of life.

[@preciousmousse]

Trent definitely practicing what he's preaching here!

[@Philip_Taylor]

Just found them. Very tight and tasteful grooves.

[@JohnnyLovely2]

THIS IS SO COOL! Trent was so cool, and he still is. Wish he would have kept this new wave sound rather than adapting a more metal-influenced sound. I wish the same exact thing for Ministry, too, lol.

[@DreamerM]

We all gotta start somewhere.

[@chadbrochill00]

This may be the most uncharacteristic thing I've ever seen anyone do. But that just makes it even more awesome

[@trista4congress827]

AWESOME!! COOL DANCE MOVES, MAN !!! KINDA PUNK TUNE, LOVE IT !!

[@SharonTaint666]

even back then, he had such presence!

[@bigguy1164]

Explains his dancing on the Tension Tour.

[@BMadden225]

That jacket looks sharp.

[@StoneColdSergio]

Dude, THE LEAD SINGER?! THAT'S FUCKING TRENT REZNOR!!!!!!

[@pacvsantos]

He sure looks sharp!!! eheh

[@deldzl]

Sweet ass mullet.

[@PunkMartyr]

Uncontrollable smiling imminent

[@Mrsteisag2]

2:56 Trent even sings the backing vocal

[@regretsquirrel]

...party in the back

[@makenadyer28]

I love how early Trent Reznor is like early Al Jourgenson (minus the fake British accent)

[@ChesterField17]

We've all made mistakes.....

[@wearenotsnobs]

Did he really say "Go ahead and look me over, you chode!" ?

[@galerandyaddict]

how? i will never understand strangely i like this song

[@julz415]

omg i love trent good new wave song too ol

[@basselle304]

pelvic thrust! woo. yeh this is awesome. hohoho. trent is the best.

[@DonCacomixtle]

So this is how The Fixx would've sound with Trent Reznor.

[@cnn24seven]

You got that right. Except most people here have no idea who Joe Jackson is.

[@erinwalker6185]

Trent Reznor at his 18-year-old best.

[@NoveltySocks]

Oh woah, those moves are pretty sharp.

[@allmightantdawgs]

I guess after a couple years doing something like this, you've gotta go the complete opposite way and just smash everything in sight when you're on stage for the next several years, just to get this out of your system.

[@OneNationUnderMe]

Oh Trent, you beast!

[@ladulcegirl]

aww...he's so young.

[@erinwalker6185]

I'm assuming this was flimed in 1983-1984.

[@madame__madness]

.....HAHAHAHAHAHA! Omg, this is soo awesome and soo funny xDD Funniest thing, i've ever seen, can't stop laughing xD But the song is really catchy, i like it, tho^_^

[@treslineas2826]

That classical yeah at the end.

[@trickflip1]

not to mention Anthrax covered "Time"....awesome song.

[@brycestempka5505]

His dad videotaped this. This was in Erie pa pretty sure

[@PeedroPaula]

Shake that money maker, Trent!

[@LoserNO13]

Oh my god fucking awesome.

[@NIN1995]

ROFL i want to see trent now days do that song just like in this video LMAO that would be histerical

[@msselfdestruct84]

looking sharp like johnny rotten i'd say. so so funny!

[@FriedEggSarnie]

Seriously tho, this is a really good song. Paul Weller/The Jam vibes.

[@sadchild70]

i thought trent couldn't make a more disgusting and disturbing video than 'broken' until i saw this. hey, wanna make bets on whether or not this drummer could take a mic stand to the head and keep playing?

[@erk91025]

haha. love it.

[@SacrificialNewt]

Holy shitbags, Batman! He just oozes naivety in the weirdest way.

[@SalandFindles]

I can't stand NIN, but I enjoy this song, in an odd way.

[@dautzen]

ieeeeeeeeehihihihihihihihihihihihihii, this is great.

[@SetiRabt]

I dont get it I see the vid and Im just like ok Trent used to be a new wave band thats how he started nothing wrong with that he changed and he keeps on changing so goes the nature of the unverse change

[@SOFIAAAA]

hahaha, sweet.

[@fishblades]

Haha Wow, you can sure tell its him. It's weird how you can hear traces of NIN

[@twiggysrabies]

OH mY God!! Where did you get this?!?!?!!

[@ronnydeluxeman]

Who made eyes without a face and is it available?

[@anyroxtar]

Yeaaah! ... lol

[@1galactus1]

BUA-HAHAHA!

[@TheGreatIndoors1979]

I see very little to be ashamed of, covering a song of Joe Jackson. One could cover a whole lot of songs that are worse. Still glad he end up going his own way, though.

[@stupendousman1979]

How would that be ironic?

[@rinnkydinkthesilly]

so much gyrating /pos

[@funkshiat]

@kingkraken best.comment.ever

[@AnnaDraconida]

Hahaha

[@diablecita]

hhahahahhahahahah (rofl)

[@youknowwhoyouare8]

i feel raped

[@ruinerfixxxer]

ugh. I'll stick to NIN

[@mcmSEA]

Joe Jackson's original is of course waay better, but yeah, funny.

[@VanityInPerson]

Trent looks even hot while making erm, not so cool music. :D

[@drchipohpoh]

oh dear christ....this is horrible
