Big fan of Richards interviews
“Well, Nine Inch Nails is Trent’s band. Trent’s trying to make his music the best way he can think of. What am I doing in it? I’m not that great of a guitar player, I’m a great performer. Piggy was a great character, he was this crazy skinny guy on stage, I made him laugh. Trent, I used to make that fucker laugh 24 hours a day and just be his sidekick, his piggy, his goofy “come here piggy, what do you think about this? Ehh fuck it” you know? And I would go out of my way to be his, the extension of his chaos. I would be his right hand man and he wouldn’t wanna get himself in trouble but I would do it and he would go “Piggy, what do you think about that?” Like there was this day, Chris Vrenna had his… his laundry was all being put together and we were all in a hotel room and my bags had like shit all in it and everything is stinky and Chris Vrenna’s bag is packed immaculately and he’s like “Piggy, look at that man, doesn’t that just make you sick, look at how perfect he is, socks are in the sock thing and he’s got his underwear over there, he’s got his little dopp kit all set up, what do you think of that?” and I’m like “Piggy not like”. I would just go over and just attack it. Chris and I ended up getting into a huge fight and I threw him into a coffee table and he bled all over the place”

This is such an interesting look into The downward spiral era. Despite the journalists strange digs at them it's cool to have a little window into another time
Hey guys I'm looking for the interview where Trent described the making of the into the void music vid and how boring it was lol no particular reason I'm just completely unable to find it and it's making me a little crazy if you have any ideas I'd be really grateful. I thought it was when he hosted rage but I can't seem to find it
This outfit is everything I love the grungieness of the photo with the soft vulnerable pose and the outfit that plays with gender presentation it really sums Trent up at that time of his life. Something beautiful in a dark dingy landscape
It's so cool to see his fashion sense develop he looks so young in these!
❗ This is a re-upload of my old post. I discovered that it was accidentally deleted by me during the cleaning of posts on my page ❗ Okay, it's time for my another (useless) Trent Reznor compilation. Let's discover all his hairstyles of his synth-pop/pre-NIN era (1982 - 1988). That was an amazing era that impresses with its variety of hairstyles and colors. I use not only photos from gigs but also basically all photos that show the details of all periods well. Let's go!
Option 30. Trent became a member of this band in 1982.
Here are better photos of his hairstyle from that period. Some kind of cute short mullet. Up to a certain point he had his natural hair color.
The quality of the photo is poor, but he probably dyed his hair a bright red. He left Option 30 in 1984.
The Urge. Trent joined the band in 1984, I guess? There he had a bright red short haircut with a lot of hairspray on his head.
The closer look from 1984.
The Innocent. Nothing's changed in 1985, except maybe much more volume and hairspray, I guess.
Oh, hi Chris! The Exotic Birds. In 1986, Trent had a lot more experiments with his appearance. There is still a lot of hairspray but there are haircuts of different lengths and colors: blonde, brown-haired...
And, I believe, during this period he dyed his hair his favorite signature black for the first time.
Another example of Trent's early brunette.
Slam Bamboo. In 1987 he had a shorter black haircaut but later in 1988, he started growing his hair out.
Another example of his longer hair is from 1988, when Trent was working at Right Tracks Studios.
Lucky Pierre, 1988. The last band Trent was involved in before founding Nine Inch Nails. Back then, he was closest to his classic long black hair. If you have something to add to the post please let me know. Enjoy!
The bts for this video are crazy so much effort and talent put into a 3 minute masterpiece
Trent Reznor behind the scenes of Closer
Nobody ever talks about how fucking boring being chronically ill and disabled is. I'm so grateful to the nin community for giving me space to share stuff with and fill the time (hence the relentless posting). Here's Trent doing something I don't understand but can't stop watching x
I'm sold!
Trent Reznor Introducing the Music Video for “Into The Void” on MTV 2
TW suicide and depression please let me know if these posts are annoying or anything like that I'm just hoping to share some stuff so other people know they are not alone in this
Anybody who has been depressed or suicidal probably understands the feeling of being completely alone in a room full of "friends" that cannot possibly understand what is happening to you. In my case it was because I was so young when I started feeling this way. The growing up too fast, the adults that don't believe you are struggling or in pain because you are so small. I had my 1st asthmatic brush with death as a child and had nobody who could relate, no Internet to look for like minded individuals and a shitty dad who did understand but was too mentally absent to care. I was the weird undiagnosed autistic kid with joint pain. Sorry to get weird and personal but now as an adult I have been able to find solace in music especially Nine Inch Nails. My pain is very different to Trents but I think every one that has stared into the void has something in common. I know now because of people like him that it is possible to become better and I'm so grateful to every artist that have shared their pain with us and formed communities of 'others'
Eventually I discovered that pushing down these emotions will only lead to one place. I will not go.
I wonder if he ever sits on their shoulders to see concerts better
If drag queen Trent is there I'm reposting. He is statuesque
