"afraid of my lack of talent." Trent, you did all of the instruments by yourself and learned them because bands weren't getting the sound you wanted, except drums. That is insanely talented.

"afraid of lack of talent" -- says the most talented musician ever IMO.

Most people agree that the downward spiral was his masterpiece. I totally get that but for me, I think the Fragile was his true masterpiece.

Just one great haircut after another.

He is the motzart of our time, I'm just happy he made it through the angry time and is in a happy place

I like how vulnerable and open he is in his interviews

nine inch nails kept me alive for 38 years so far,thanks for the music trent

I remember maybe around 1995....I went to Media Play to buy a new CD, and I saw Further Down The Spiral. The CD cost $3.99 and I thought it was a single or a sampling (CDs generally cost between $12 and $15 back then). I bought the CD, found out it was a full length album, and it literally blew my mind. I frickin loved it! and $3.99!!?....Trent was a true pioneer. I respect the shit out of NIN since that day forward. Also, once you've seen him live....forget about it. Spectacular performer!

Trent's work is timeless

Trent has sailed so close to the edge he's frightened by the concept of going over into the unknown....over intellectualizing things is a component of it all.....

You have no idea how many people I've come across that thinks NIN is an actual band. It's one guy until he tours. I've known this since I was a teenager. Recognize the talent.

Trent and NIN changed my life when it was going from really bad to worse. It's still the most incredible synchronicity I've ever experienced, 11 years later. Thank you.

I completely agree with Trent when he says that "With Teeth" was his most honest record. I noticed that the first time I listened to the thing the whole way through. He was self-reflective on a lot of things when it came to his past & was growing as a person in the songs, and I remember getting so excited as the record went on & on. Trent has such a great way of telling his stories and making you feel a part of it somehow. He's not on a pedestal on the record, it's almost like he's sitting down and telling you something so very personal. The fact that he ever thought of suicide makes me really sad, because he's such a good person.

Ironically, "Fragile" has always been my favorite.

I miss the music industry in the 90's... I never thought I'd say that but there was music stores, more concerts, better exposure in terms of culture...Say what you will I liked digging and taking chances on bands. I didn't mind paying for physical copies (still don't). MTV played music videos from more then just 10 pop bullshit R and B "market-rap" ...good times

Since 1989 you have kept me alive. Mr. Reznor, I have only seen you live once, but listened a lifetime, a lifetime that could've ceased. Thank you

I first saw NIN open for Jesus and Mary Chain 1990. After NIN's set I left. Went to Tower Records and bought PHM. Never did see Jesus and Mary Chain.

Trent was a master at many things but one for sure is the way he puts together live shows. I went to many shows on the Fragile tour and the With Teeth tour. Great light show.

one of the few musicians that has a catalog that i can listen to in its entirety front to back in one sitting. and love it

Intelligent, humble, down to earth and extremely creative. Everything a human being should be. I do hope Tapeworm will be revisited in the future because that project has immense potential.

Nice mix of stuff where you can see some of what he's gone through. No matter what you think of Trent, it's hard to deny that surviving this long in the music industry, doing both performance and soundtrack work, is an admirable feat. It's obvious age has tempered him somewhat, and he comes across as pretty level in this.

There's an honesty and an integrity to it, that I think can only come from meaning something, instead of pretending you're a character doing something.

The sexiest man in the world

7:14 - Tropic Thunder - Robert Downey Jr. ---- "I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude"

Trent is literally me, man. Ego aside, hearing that he was the only one producing those compositions, writing the lyrics, doing the vocals, most likely engineering them as well. No way am I his equal, but this is my rule of thumb 95% of the time. This man is the epitome of what it means to be musically independent, and to create an entirely new genre.

I'm such a fanboy and I need more nine inch nails

I like how at one point he mentions an upcoming album is more like a collection of songs that can stand on their own as opposed to previous albums that are epic as a whole. Then a few years later he mentions his new album will be like a whole piece instead of just a collection of songs. Both are great ways to look at it. Myself personally I always try to do the next thing differently than the last one to try and keep things fresh. This was an informative and inspirational video.

Interesting thoughts from Trent here. I'm not a musician, but I am creative in other ways and listening to him outlining his creative process was very insightful.

This guy is so smart..Love him

PHM is still my favorite album he's done. Live he is fantastic I was lucky enough a while back he toured twice in a small venue my brother and I went to both . He was insecure and stated he was afraid of his lack of talent WTF,. He's one of the most innovative and extremely talented people I've heard in a long time even plus his work with Atticus Ross. He took on Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids I still refer to them. His wife has a beautiful voice as well. I can honestly say I like every single album this man has created. I loved his induction speech for The Cure at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He should be inducted as well. The Cure's best album Pornography.(1982)

Trent seems like a really shy guy.

Very well done, sir! I'm impressed of how you managed to get a narrative deep story out of seemingly regular work-related interviews. While watching this I felt how the inner world of a person revolves around his personality, deeds and occupation in life. How that inner world has a life of it's own and, if uncontrolled, can distort your reality, can influence personality in unpredictable ways, somewhat damaging or flatout destructible, can force one's deeds against his values or judgement or will. Here we see a story of a human being, flawed like everyone else in many relatable ways. And the best part is when we can clearly see that one can always take responsibility for his fate, for his actions, for who he/she is in the end, fighting off the desires and gaining control over that inner world and, as a result, things outside of it that we call life. This film also made me like NIN's song "everything" and gain deep respect for it, now that I've understood the story of a life struggle that inspired it.

Trent , You really reached into your heart and soul to share with all of Us who you really are , your beautiful Man !

Props on this video, you did a great job narrowing Reznor’s life through interviews. He’s quite transparent and enjoyed the parts and snippets you created here. Centers the art in music from creation peeling pieces of the human spirit for fans to enjoy. Thank You

Kudos to the author for putting these clips together! Having the access to see the human side of Trent with his challenges is very insightful.

I have loved watching Trent mature over the years.

Very awesome. Especially the end. Trent looks genuinely happy. Thanks for making this. There are a lot of interview snippets that I've never seen.

Wonderful mix of various interviews-thanks for making this!

Now add some stuff of Hesitation Marks and its a nice biography. Love it.

Great job with this. These are some of the very best TR interviews. Thanks for posting.

Great watch / listen. Thank you very much for posting.

If Trent did audio books I would buy them all. That might sound weird, but I really like his speaking voice.

Nice job, Tomas! As someone who has loved NIN since... I think 1994, it's a treat actually SEEING interviews with Trent (I've read lots over the ages, but, for whatever reason, actually not SEEN many). SUPER inspiring stuff. Thanks for assembling these, in the way you did.

Thank you, Trent for inspiring me to move on. Every day.

I have to thank the producers of this Channel. You are Awesome Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

and Trent, if you ever read this,I'd like to say that you are one of the most capable people that I've ever heard of in articulating the complex emotions of..being a...human (I lack your talents, clearly)

Hands covered Bruce - The best music for an opening scene I'v ever heard. Brilliant .

Tomas, thank you for putting this together. It's so interesting to see someone who is so talented, be so insecure. Nine Inch Nails is by far one of the best bands that has ever existed.

Good job, as an old school NIN fan I really enjoyed it!!!

Great video man, thanks a lot.

i really enjoyed these insights, thanks for making this

Excellent vid! Trent Reznor has been one of my favorite musicians since about 1994 😁

He is an excellent producer and songwriter performer I hope he keeps doing it

Great video. Thanks for the composition.

Thanks Tomas Guitar for posting, and thank you to Trent Reznor for creating so much music that expresses real emotion: please keep doing so for many years to come!

thanks TG! great doco!

That opening line gave me chills. I feel the exact same way about my music career. Id be doing it anyway even if I never made a dime from it.

Very cool mix of interviews :) nice job

really enjoyed this..inspiring. thank you. x

One of the true greats

And he's still kicking fucking ass almost 20 years later. I just saw him end a tour in Cleveland for a one night only reunion with the 90s lineup. It was perfect, as always. Nine Inch Nails has provided the soundtrack to my life for most of my 40 years.

Trent Reznor is a musical genius!!!

That concert clip of Piggy from the Fragility tour is quite disturbing... you can bet your ass he wasn't sober then.

Best musician of my time. His music makes me feel things that no other music ever has come close 2

Thank you! This is really great :D

Trent Reznor, You are bursting at the seems with raw and refined talent!!!

You are a true Artist and a real person.

adding to "watch later" ..might not even remove it after viewing. one of my heavy influences right here. I love the way he goes about almost everything that he does.

Nice job. My favorite artist. THE BEST

Trent's doing great. I think he's awesome!

I have so much respect for Trent ! It’s nice to see this side of him .

Crazy to hear him say Rick Rubin helped him. Seems like that guy has his hands in everything.

David Bowie was his idol and he was also very good for Trent when he worked with him he told him what he had to do to stay for the rest of his life/career.

Great documentary!

really inspirational. thx

#Trent Reznor is a genius , im so happy he is still here and I just want him to keep going his music is timeless endless nameless and Nine Inch Nails are by far the best band in the world as of right now 19 October 2022 and I haven't seen a better band live than what he created and is truly a gift in this lifetime we are in , im so glad I am alive to see Nine Inch nails play im my life and it wouldn't be as good if they were not here , thankyou #Nine Inch Nails ^1^

Great!!! Thanx 4 sharing

Great documentary

Amazing. Saw him once live right up front about 2 years ago.....Didn't get to meet him however maybe someday...Either way I will be following him. I really loved "The Fragile" more than the other albums but every album has it's place.

So very very inspiring im grateful to him

1:03 the way they cut from one scene to another made it look like he played that gig then went to the interview\ like Yeah me Trent Reznor when i'm not on tour i play gigs in a retro 80s pop band in the town i grew up in just for giggles.

"with teeth" is by far the best NIN album. i put Reznor up there with the greats. lyrically he can't really be touched.

Thank you.

This is very helpful

That was the best art on YT!

Extremely talented

thanx man

17:38 He's like " wtf dudes I'm just a guy stop screaming"

trent is a genius!!!!!he inspired me to become a producer.i can't play the guitar ,or play a piano,but I can play a drum machine and use a computer!!!!Thank you trent!!!!!!

Thank you so much for this!! Where did the barbed wire footage during Leaving Hope come from?

I cannot believe he is that humble and yet so talented. He is my introverted emo-hair dream guy.

good work

Well done man...

good job sir

Brilliant piece! I find myself a bit envious. I've always wanted to work with him too and this is probably as close as I will ever get. I had no idea he and I had so much in common, being so opposite. I love it. I really love it! Thank you so much for this.

God I miss when artists had something to say

this is diamond !

Still here Trent!

So true that tweaking sounds after sound after sound without a 'song' structure can lead one to become busily engaged in not doing much. (but it is as fun as fk).

What a cool guy.
