I dislike trent razner

Pretty cool guy. Doesn't afraid of anything.

Among my fav musicians, but I have to admit the older, angrier, drugger Reznor was better. Still happy he cleaned himself up though.

>>718486484
you mean younger, not older

unless you mean his older form, which isn't even his final form

He woudln't be alive today if he stayed on that path.

I've heard that he actually went to a house by the sea to kill himself and actually ended up writing the song "la mer" at that house instead.

la mer means "the sea" in french.

I'm in this pic of them playing at lollapalooza 2008.

>>718485663
He's a four-headed, firebreathing ferris wheel. I think.

>>718485663

He's a good man, awkward as fuck when he was younger.
Watch some videos, its great. (Exotic Birds era)
Fragile is a masterpiece and I've loved nin for year but I was getting annoyed at his wife hogging him for her shitty Angels project.
Hyped for the new stuff, good to see him change up constantly but somehow keep the NiN sound.

the most sane of the alt-industrial holy trinity

Billy and Trent both evolved beyond the music industry as it died. Marilyn and Billy are both weird though.

i'm a huge Corgan fan but even I know Reznor is the best composer of the three. Billy is the best rock star, and manson is too theatrical to be graded on his music alone. And all his shit sounds the same. Reznor never failed the way billy did with acts like zwan or his solo act.

>>718486782
Negan looks like My Name is Earl
>>718487128
Compare Perfect Drug Trent to Frank Zappa tho

>>718487350
also, Johnny Cash covered a NIN song. does anyone ever cover anything by the other two?

>>718487350
I like how NIN has continually evolved into new sounds. People get upset that he doesn't sound like the old NIN but it would be boring and unoriginal if he kept making the same shit.

>>718487590
The same people would be upset by that, too. I guess my point is, fuck everyone.

>>718487590
Billy corgan did the same thing but he failed a lot more frequently than Reznor did at recapturing his core fans

>>718487472
Shitty neo-shoegaze local bands cover "Today" all the time. Does that count?

>>718487331
Man that annoyingly catchy, Trent looks so unsure about it all

>>718485663
washed up as fuck. he didnt evolve with techonology well at all. was a musical genius in the 80s and 90s. even his 2000s stuff was pretty good. but then he tried too hard to conform to the scene kid movement and doesnt know how to produce on modern day tech at all. his new tracks sound like absolute shit. hes either run out of ideas (most likely the case) or hes lost when it comes to producing a more modern day industrial sound

>>718487853
it kind of proves my point. and I'm the billy fan shitting up this thread. Johnny Cash covered reznor. Reznor wrote a song that could be adapted by a man with demons.

Billy Corgan captured the emotions of depressed kids. So depressed kids cover his songs. Now that billy found happiness he can still rock but he's not at the top of his game like he was when he was spilling out his demons.

I love how they are all wearing colorful shit and acting energetic and he is looking like trent reznor in black leather and looking pissed off.

He was probably thinking in his head as he was playing that song that he needs to finish up the "Broken" EP and get his NIN project going. Because this Slam Bamboo shit is lame.

I absolutely love going to youtube videos of both the Cash and NIN versions of Hurt and leaving a comment saying that NIN's cover isn't nearly as good as Cash's original. The butthurt is hilarious.

And I'm a huge NIN fan. But the reactions are too funny. I have to do it every few months.

One of my favorites. If you haven't seen the Beside You in Time blu ray you really need to. Most of it is on youtube but sometimes the quality is lame.

It's amazing on my nice 7.1 Home Theater and HD TV.

Been a fan since 92'. My first concert was nin touring the downward spiral in 1994. Marilyn Manson was the opener. It was his first tour. These are the shirts I've collected over he years.
-continue?

>>718489164
Nice, I've owned several of those same shirts.

My brother beat me up one time because I stole the Downward Spiral cassette tape from his room. He heard me playing it in my room and stole it back and punched me a few times for going in his room.

It was worth it.

Have you heard the Ghosts album? Double CD that is 100% instrumentals. No words.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eg3C1vNxOA

>>718490124
I've been a fan because he never caved to fit in. He went his own way and had enough commercial success to pay for the rest of his career. This is proven. Y the fact that there's no "best of nin" CD. He doesn't believe in rehashing old shit to make a buck.

Back in 2009 when NIN was clearing out one of ther storage units and auctioning a lot of things off on Ebay I almost won the speakers in this picture. Those were the speakers used when he produced the Fragile album.

How cool would it be to hear the album on the exact speakers it was originally composed on. That would be exactly how it was meant to be heard.

I couldn't afford it when they went over $600 though. That was my final bid.

Like poison to my 10 year old mind

I like a few of his songs, but Hand That Feeds pissed me off and turned me away.

All due fairness, Hurt gets me right in the feels. Won't switch radio stations if NIN comes on.

Rage Against The Machine, on the other hand can DIF.

Hand that feeds and perfect drug are somg of my least favorite songs from him.

Hand that feeds has pretty weak lyrics. The rhyming is too obvious. It's like he wrote the lyrics in 10 minutes.

But for the amount of songs he has published he has very few weak songs.

I love how he has gone back and remixed some old content from Pretty Hate Machine such as sanctified.

33:15 in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBC3NXnN8y4

Notice how it even is mashed up with Sunspots from With Teeth at the end of Sanctified.

>>718490634
Nice. ALOT of so called fans dropped off at the fragile because they were expecting "fuck you like an animal"-part two. It's been a progressive journey of sound and if you don't absorb the last album you won't understand the next. When I hear a new album it takes a minute to adjust but then you "get it"

>>718490634
I also wanted to buy something but everything went skyrocketing a few hours before closing
Why don't you buy the same speaker model?
It wouldn't change that much right?

>>718491306
There is an official recording of a similar version of sunspots on the live 2013 seed. No sunspots ending however :c

>>718491808
Check out the Aphrodite remix of Perfect drug. One of my favorites

I meant a version of sanctified obviously. But yeah I heard the remix. Unfortunately remix.nin.com was taken down so we don't have access to that sweet rare and unreleased playlist..

Reznor is a surprisingly easy boss if you're quick and aggressive about it. This should be pretty obvious since the floor you're on crumbles as you fight them. Once you're on one of the platforms the fight might as well be over.

That's his studio. He doesn't use software for much, he is really into real analogue synths. That's in addition to playing guitar and piano among other instruments.

>>718499235
So many possibilities with that equipment. How does one even decide to start from something and stop at a certain point.. I can see how he got stuck while writing the fragile. Think of all those soundscapes he could keep exploring and refining over and over

>>718498890

I like the industrial / raw sounds on the new instrumentals from Deviations

>>718499546
I own a few older 1990's synths as a hobby. Even my collection of like 4 is overwhelming. I struggle to even get a track started.

I usually just start with a 4-4 beat and end up producing some generic house or trance sounding song then shut it all down becuase it sounds like disposable EDM garbage.

I suck. But it's fun to play with.
