I saw NIN live in 2006'ish at Red Rocks and it was a surreal experience for a few reasons. It was during Trent's "now clean and ripped" period so he was an absolute beast on stage for 2 and a half hours. It was like he summoned Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins and Maynard into his body to create something of pure talent and raw energy. They played the entire The Downward Spiral along with a bunch of The Fragile. Reptile is especially good live. And to top it off the entire crowd just chilled out and sat in awe at what was happening on stage. It was SO awesome to see and to see Trent doing well. It tops my list of concerts I've been to and I've been to a lot. Trent is a musical genius.

Man, you’re not digging enough. The thing that made NIN mainstream was the amount of footwork and research we did in weird used record shops in the cities because all radio played was Jethro Tull and Aerosmith. We created the demand for bands like NIN with the money we made as dishwashers and waiters. YOU have to go out & be that one person in the audience out of only seven or eight people there to see a new band in the back room of a bar in the worst part of downtown. If you can’t be bothered to show up for new bands because you’re too busy writing comments on KZfaq about why there are ‘no good bands out there,’ then you need to turn your phone off and go to your nearest club. If there are no clubs, then get a tent & live on the street in a town with decent clubs until you can scrape up enough cash to rent a shitty apartment with 10 roommates. Grohl did it & look where it got him. To find great music out there now, you’ve got to get out & live a life that puts you where the new sounds are.

In my opinion, and probably the opinion of most people who are music enthusiasts. That song is probably one of the saddest and most heartfelt songs ever made by man, it's not complicated, but it communicates the idea so clearly and so vividly that it connects to those who feel the way the song sounds. Nine Inch Nails is probably one of the best made music projects in history, and almost every song that Trent and his other partners that have worked with him have made have been timeless and inspirational. NIN is really the type of music any crowd can get into, which is very rare, I think that happens because the songs are really about reality, and it's made into a way that is both theatrical and realistic, its not corny, but its also not too real to the point to were its not entertaining, NIN has the perfect balance. Just my opinion, I could be full of it. But so far, to date, I haven't heard anybody that can get into the nooks and crannies of human emotion in that way, at least a handful of musicians have really done that, so far as I can see. Anyways.

I have seen many interviews with Trent where he hints that he uses this approach often to craft his songs and as a musician myself, I get it... He is a master at making you feel a certain way in seemingly nuance tones. the slight buzz of sounds that swell like insects during summer, the delayed notes on a quiet piano that feel like sunlight gently piercing through fog, the off putting industrial clangs for drums that disorientate and feels metallic. The music is so visceral as if I could touch it like slogging through mud barefoot and the squish squish of it burrows between my toes.

I was a young teenager when I first heard this song (13 or 14) and it stuck with me. It conveyed into words how I felt at that time. Lost, sad, alone, depressed, angry. I would sob as I sang along to those lyrics, sometimes almost screaming them out because I was so angry at the world for allowing me to feel this way. I get teary just thinking about it now. This song will always hold a place in my heart. A place no other song will take. It's beautiful, it's haunting, its tragic. Thank you Trent for sharing your talent with the world. Thank you for opening up mine.

Im impressed that he has the capacity to share such intimate things about his emotional and mental state so candidly and with such humility. Very classy.

Trent I completely understand & it is rational. I feel that way often & it scares the shit outta me. You are so unique, so talented. So eloquent when you speak & when you take what your feeling, put it into words, then add incredible sounds to make music that maybe not everyone understands, just those that see the world & feel similarly to you. You are a true gift that makes me feel less alone.

I love watching Trent Reznor talk about how he created his music like from a technical standpoint. Its so intriguing. Also the interviews where he reflects about past albums and his expirences. Very well spoken person

This song hits me in so many different ways, makes me think of everyone I've lost for many years, kind of like Ozzy and see you on the other side.

The work is the explanation. It’s such a great song and as great as Cash did it, you can’t beat coming back to this song with headphones on.

I love nine inch nails in hindsight they represent the various phases of life. At the time the fragile came out I still was "spiralling" and I find most of the later works can be the tides of water circling the spiral on the outer reaches of the body or pool of work. Spiral will always be the apex for me

Never really liked NiN but Trent was an absolute poet. He wrote amazing lyrics I can appreciate that. Hurt obviously being one of the greatest songs ever written. When Johnny Cash covers your song, you know you got a winner.

It never ceases to amaze me of the power that music has over us. But, what's more mysterious is how the lyrics and melody come together, to make a song that just blows you away and stays with you forever. I wonder what it would feel like to be that talented and creative.🎵

This song just traps me in my thoughts, and like Trent said I’ve always felt like the outsider and music like his and songs like this are a perfect encapsulation of that

@strangewayfaringstranger 3 жыл бұрын

It's pretty surprising Trent is still alive, he seems like the kind of person that would've self destructed by now (like a lot of the music he wrote about sings about like Mr Self Destruct). But he has this real gift for recognizing notes and interesting sounds, electronically and sonically. I think him and Danny Elfman would do some great music together, and they are both legends to me.

Goose bumps. That's when you know it is art. Watching Trent grow as an artist and individual over the past, uh, 26 years, has been one of my most favorite things about NIN. It's been a fun trip.

He's such an amazing philosopher of music. So many artists write songs and can't even explain what the lyrics mean but Trent can tell you what the individual tones mean. A true genius.

Fun fact: 1995, my just freshly broken hearted girlfriend knocks on my door, saying... "Wheres my hurt?!" ..meaning this epitome of an album I had just borrowed a few nights prior, was requested returned, alas, the only song I lived for, at the dying sunset of our youthful love, the synthesizer, light bass thump and Trent's eye's wide shut declaration, ...was all I needed, safely secured in my percolated heart-
