Fun fact about them: Trent Reznor does all of the music. He plays every instrument as well as singing the songs. He hires people to play instruments when he tours.
BUSTAcap unless something changed in the last few years, it's facts. NiN was my first favorite band and I was really into them. I've seen interviews and read articles about him in rock magazines back in the day. They all said exactly what I just said.
BUSTAcap www.iheart.com/alternate/amp/2018-05-17-trent-reznor-19-things-you-need-to-know/ read number 12. I was mainly referring to this song he reacted to, which is off the Pretty Hate Machine. Around this time is when I saw interviews and read about him. I had only the two albums at that time, PHM, and Broken.
And no, I didn't pay attention or read the CD jackets. I was a huge fan of NiN until the album with Hand That Feeds. They started getting softer, and I was getting into heavier music like Slipknot and KoRn. So maybe I was wrong the way I worded it, looking like I meant every single CD they have, but I was correct that he can play every single instrument.
I really like his reaction. It seems genuine and straight to the point, not so many freaking pauses and feel the obligation to say something about every freaking line like others’.
Sad part is, that this is more relevant today than it was in 1989.. God money's not looking for the cure. God money's not concerned with the sick among the pure. God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised. God money's not one to choose Bow down before the one you serve. You're going to get what you deserve.
The thing I love about this song is that everytime you listen to it a little closer, you will hear something you did'nt hear before. So kewl, great reaction to a great song, much love&respect-!-
NIN/Trent Reznor is probably the most interesting thing that happened in contemporary music. I discovered him/them with Pretty hate machine and Trent since became a composer, in my opinion, on par with Philip Glass, able to blend his NIN persona with the minimalist music he puts out on soundtracks, notably with David Fincher but also on HBO's Watchmen or Patriot's Day for instance. I'd love to see him conduct an orchestra and mosh for an encore!
I have every album Nine Inch Nails has made. Along with Trent Reznor's other group that he formed with his wife, How To Destroy Angels, which is also amazing [check them out a.s.a.p.]. I personally have a deep affection for NIN's albums The Fragile and Ghosts [but I LOVE them all]. AND you can find the track in a video on TH-cam, it is an ULTRA rare track called Complications of The Flesh. Soooo hypnotic.
little tidbit to tell you how *hype* this song was back in the day. during the first lollapalooza, this song would be a set closer for nin. band members from the other bands often just came onto stage during other bands' sets and joined in, but when nin played this song, there would be members from all the other bands plugging in and joining or just wildin out in general. henry rollins band, jane's addiction, ice-t and body count, the butthole surfers, and siouxie sioux's band all had members on stage. nin would end the song by smashing their equipment (a thing that happened out of frustration during the first show) and it became a thing; nin is the band that smashes all their shit onstage at the end of this song, let's go do it!
Pretty Hate Machine is a classic, an amazing debut album and truly groundbreaking for its time; I'd say continue with songs from that album, then (in chronological order) to "Broken", which is explosive, visceral and even violent, the core of all their live shows revolve around those two albums.
There are HD live versions of this song that sound way better and updated. Great reaction! As a NIN fan, I appreciated the call outs on the music and mix.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Might I recommend, NIN's '"2013 Tension Tour VEVO" March of Pigs into Piggy. The band is meant to be consumed as a multi-media experience, and this gives you and updated version of their songs and a really awesome live presence. The drums and bass here are awesome.
Damn... I forgot this song was released then. I thought early/mid 90s and I was in high school then! This song and this group were game changers. For better or worse, welcome to goth/emo/etc...
First video I've seen of yours and honestly enjoyed it. Keep it up! But always like the album version than the videos cause they tend to shorten it or alter it you know?
Along with NIN, Skinny Puppy & Ministry about the only two other bands around at the time that were carving out what would become known as "industrial rock."
Nine Inch Nails was the first band I really heavily got into when I was a teenager. They were my favorite band for a very long time until I got into Linkin Park, KoRn, and Slipknot. You should react to the band Device. It's David Draiman from Disturbed second band. He takes a lot of influence from NiN. Check out these songs: Device - Vilify Device - Penance Device - You Think You Know Device - Wish (cover of Nine Inch Nails song Wish)
Not only was his sound ahead of the times, his visual style was ahead as well. Trent was rocking dredlocks and grungy clothes in the late 80's. Fast forward 10 years, alternative bands did the grunge look to death and nu-metal had adopted the dreadlocks as sacrosanct while Reznor took on a more sleek, professional style.
@@dreamweaver1603 Or early '80s, PHM always reminds me of the European New Wave (bands like Sisters of Mercy, Grauzone, Bauhaus, Tubeway Army, DAF and so on). The US missed that musical era, instead their New Wave was Elvis Costello and Blondie and the likes.
SuddenReal, we listened to that wave too. But NIN is more industrial than new wave, like Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Skinny Puppy, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, etc.
@@dreamweaver1603 NIN took all of those US/Canadian bands, and made it much more accessible, like this sort of thing. Also, yes, Sisters of Mercy and others are related.
Also, Ministry released "The land of Rape and Honey" in 1988 - Check out "Hizbollah" or .. "Stigmata" .. or "You know what you are?" from the album. There were groups with similar (although harder) sound than NIN even back then. Uncle-Al is one of the crazy one's and the fact he's still alive is some kind of miracle. (also he claims to have "accidentally" given the guys from Tool some JackD with LSD which led to the album Lateralus but... Uncle-Al...)
I'm officially making it your job to get people to learn about skinny puppy since New bands like 3teeth are coming out of the woodwork, I crown thee, now I know you're head is as black as your asshole...
Watched NIN open for Peter Murphy in a 1500 person club in Detroit in 1990 - right after this disc came out. Absolutely destroyed their set and made fans for life. Ears rang for 2 days afterwards (Peter Murphy contributed by finding a natural resonance of the building during Seven Veils and it felt like the walls were going to fall in.) Pretty Hate Machine changed the game and opened lots of folks up to Industrial Synth.
If you dig this Pretty Hate Machine (The debut Album from NIN) is truly one of the best complete albums in the last 30yrs the entire album flows perfectly it’s a essential album
Been a nin fan since 92, one of my favorite bands, and I just gotta say that miley cyrus cover of this is honestly the best nin cover I have ever heard. It really made me gain respect for her (even though I hated everything I heard from her before) and I hope she moves more in that direction cause she absolutely nailed it.
Hey this industrial music make me want to suggest a very early example of industrial music from my country (Canada): here it is: Assimilate by Skinny Puppy (live performance version is a must and you will see why). They must have been an inspiration to NIN.
Yes more nin. I love it all so honestly you can do no wrong in my opinion. But if i must pick a song for an easy in... howabout.... We're in this together now.
If you want to know where Reznor came from listen to Me I Disconnect From You by Gary Numan. Reznor cites him as his biggest influence. This goes for any NIN fan, take a look through the wormhole.
It’s a song about callous greed for those that worship (bow down to serve) money (greed). The heartless, soulless. And in the 80’s!? This was an incredible new sound of its kind. This man is a legend. So glad you get it 🤍🖤🤍❤️🔥
Interesting fact that you might not know is that Trent is like Prince in the fact that he's a multi-instrumentalist and plays most of the instruments on his albums!
I first saw them in a small dark club in downtown Cleveland in maybe '88/'89 (??) It was quite a scary place with a sign on the front door that read "NO... WE DO NOT PLAY MADONNA" 🤣😁😂 I knew I was in for quite an evening...and with NIN there - it was! Just a little sweet memory I thought I'd share. And really?? You didn't just mention Miley Cyrus in the same thought as NIN did you?? Ugh!! Haha
Stole this album from my brother in middle school because Too Dark Park was too confusing at the time. The whole album is incredibly put together and my favorite from him. NIN took what Ministry and Skinny Puppy were doing and made musical gold out of it. If you want to deep dive: Ministry - Stigmata, KMFDM - Disgust, and Skinny Puppy - Dig It.
@@TheAdventuresofTNT That's true about the writing, and he did play nearly all of it, but he had a few guests, and would do more of that on his subsequent material.
This is a great first song to listen to them, you should try down in it next, and then maybe Ruiner if you wanna try something a little more industrial
@@TheAdventuresofTNT It's a protest song about greed and whatnot. Reznor has occasionally written that sort of thing over the years, and frankly I prefer it to the relentless self-focused angst and anger and whatnot.
DUUUUDE!! God Bless you for saying that Miley Cyrus had RUINED this song by singing it herself!! BLASPHEMY!!🤣 I'm very happy that you can ENJOY this song again! (Rather like when Avril Lavigne sang Metallica's "Fuel" at the "Metallica Rock Honors" in 2003(!) on vH1; my youngest son & I still CRINGE remembering it whenever we hear "Fuel" on the radio!🤢🤮🤯😖🤬👎☠‼️). Loved watchin' you ROCK OUT listening & singing along, so I'ma have to check out more of your reviews, beginning with "Closer", Hell yeah!

God Nostalgia. I bought this album when I was 15 years old. I love it
Amazing music. I loved Industrial Music of the 80’s and 90’s.
Trent Rezner is an absolute musical genius and composer
Agreed.He and Alan Wilder should do something together
Sad part is, that this is more relevant today than it was in 1989..

“It cleansed my soul of what I heard from Miley Cyrus” 😂
I guess you know she sampled it. But he sampled the bass and drums from Ministry's Tonight we murder.
@@MofoNsh She didn’t sample it, she covered it as a character in an episode of Black Mirror. And yes.
"I'd rather die than give you control" more true today than ever before
NIN: Mr. Self-Destruct, Somewhat Damaged, Starfuckers inc, The Line Begins to Blur, Less Than, God Break Down the Door.
The thing I love about this song is that everytime you listen to it a little closer, you will hear something you did'nt hear before. So kewl, great reaction to a great song, much love&respect-!-
Trent Reznor's middle name is probably "Ahead Of His Time."
Hahahaha. .
Seen the Birth certificate
It's hilarious seeing people who think that greed is somehow a new concept LMAO
This is RAW! Love it!

Glad you reviewed NIN! This is one of many awesome songs that just takes you to a crazy musical place. The 90's had an incredible buzz to it.
This song is actually an 80s song, came out in 1989
NiN is going to the rock HOF this year! Innovative.. this could have been released today.

Now, can you imagine Trent and Maynard in a band together...TAPEWORM. They also worked together on a Puscifer tune...Potions.
Also the revision of pet. Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums. Has a cool sound kind of like reptile.

There were other bands around doing similar things and alot worked together. Try 'Thieves' by 'Ministry', same year.
Aww dude he will fuckin LOVE Thieves!! I can feel it!!
I would prefer Stigmata but Thieves would be good
@@jonathankaczmar25 one of my fav songs from them👊🤘
A new fan is born 😆 enjoy the journey
Damn, that musical discoivery journey was blessed to have, with NIN, Sisters, Ministry etc.. Tech Noir at it's finest.
This is the first song I heard by NIN and I fell in love with Trent R., in 1990 or 91 can’t really remember.
Fuck yeah! Gave up or Down in it. Two of my faves.
The day the whole world went away - that’s my all-time favorite from NIN. I was wondering if you could react to this, please!

Also, KMFDM would be a good next band if you want more industrial, try A Drug Against War
NIN is trent, when they go on tour he employs session musicians, but all the music etc is him.
With that said, if you look at the credits, he has other contributors. Plus, Atticus Ross is a full-time member now.

Damn

Trent Reznor is Industrial music
sounded like african children singing, it's from 'samburu warriors initiation - david fanshawe'
I thought that as well.
You should do his song about George W. Bush! Capital G! You like meaningful lyrics and this is chocked full of them!
is that what that song is about? I thought it was about worshiping money. Both Capital and G are capitalized as in Capitalism God.
The theory is that the song can be about either GWB or greed. Fits either way. Great song.
