@@michaelhaydenbell Pretty sure they intended to say that they feel Trent Reznor is the definition of sexuality. At least in their mind. They’re essentially saying that he is synonymous with the term ‘sexuality’. Don’t know why I’m wasting me time pointing this out/attempting to clarify this/commenting on a random, trivial comment on a random old video. Bye.
Yeah, I think Trent was the one who said that when you boo at the opening act or throw stuff at them, you also critize the taste of the main artist, since they're usually the ones who chose to have them as an opening act.
@@PDXdjn Yeah, it was from a skit on one of their comedy records, about a band who kept changing their name every five minutes, the skit was called "Rock Notes".

To my fellow Skinny Puppy fans that have made a hobby of hating Trent. This is it. The man here accepts existence outside the genre of industrial while showing a sense of respect for it. Few people outside the scene know about Throbbing Gristle and the coining of the phrase 'Industrial music for industrial people'. He even later acknoledged ripping off Dig It. Let it go. Ogre and cEvin did.
@p h So, so true. It's the people who get emotional while the artists mutually respect each other. I guess fanatisms are always detrimental to the brain and the soul. Love NIN like nothing else, but also love SP for their amazing music. So what?
Thanx for posting this. I remember seeing this interview when originally aired. 20 years ago! Request Video was the best video show and opened me up to so much great music.
Sadly Trent was one of the musicians that pushed the internet age for music, and now it’s something he kind of regrets doing, seeing that people would rather use computers to make “music” with little to no effort, than to have someone like Trent use the ever advancing technology to expand the complexities of his music. It’s really sad to see a lot artist take for granted the tech that they have at their disposal, rather than broaden their horizons
@@gigachad192 He's the guy behind Coil & Throbbing Gristle. Trent's comment about TG being recognized as core Industrial while NIN never claimed to be may sound as if he's drawing a line between the two bands, though that's not what he meant. He didn't say he had anything against them, nor did he reject the idea of collaborating with industrial artists. OP was trying to hear a contradiction that wasn't made. Trent's point was about people like OP.
I've always been a big fan of both NIN and GnR, I would have been 14 or 15 at that time and I would have lost my shit if I got to see both at the same show.
interviews like this must be exhausting for musicians... real musicians, i mean. as for singer/performers, like brittany spears, beiber, various generic R&B puppets, etc. etc. seem to love doing them- but people like trent who actually create things must get bored to death with this bullshit. being asked silly questions about their band logo, and such...
well, they didn't have to sign a major record deal, they could have just been happy performing in bars and what not. sometimes these gigs come with the name of the game, it's a downside but kind of nice for fans to communicate, as it's the buying public who give these people their multi millionaire dollar lifestyles by purchasing their music and going to see them live.
Here's what Trent said about Front Line Assemby for anyone wondering: “Front Line Assembly is a textbook case of a band that - I can’t listen to a fucking song, let alone an album. Just monotonous, boring, uninspired bullshit. And they’re far more traditional and far more exemplary of ‘industrial’ than NIN is.” (from SPIN March 1992 )
Jeez, Trrent is a musical genius, who can play any instrument ,& is an amazing lycricist, if youjust take the tiime to listen to N.I. N., then,if your are intelligent, you will get it, but if you are not,then you wont.
Yes. Imagine 1994. Hundreds of millions of teenagers walking around, wearing NIN shirts, listening to NIN records, all the while not even understanding anything he was saying. Must have been difficult for him.
I was and am a huge feminist. I picked up Pretty Hate Machine as a kid, never once thought this was anti women. Never seen anything that was anti women. Broken, nope not anti women, etc. I didn't understand that part either. The only thing I can think is the band members were men? But that is just wanting to nitpick to be angry about nothing.
@hundhun17 "their slightly Gay sounding synthetic sounds." HAAAAHAHA what do you even mean. That's fine if the 1991 GnR fans didn't like that kind of music, but how does it sound "gay" ? it's like saying "that candle smells yellow."
I love NIN but I get what he is saying. A lot of the songs on Pretty Hate Machine have a sort of erotic feel and sound to them, with Trent sounding a bit like a sissy, moaning, etc. I wouldn't call it gay, but I get what that dude is referring to.
Anything that wasn't Country in the late 80's and early 90's was "gay"... Depeche Mode was gay too according to a lot of dudes in the midwest... Of course both NIN and Depeche Mode banged more girls than those country boys could ever dream of, so boy, were they wrong... And very stupid as well...
i could be wrong, but i heard somewhere that the band name (and the title for head like a hole) came from a ministry concert that trent taped where al jourgensen says “listening to ministry is like having a nine inch nail hammered through your head like a hole” or something like that.
you’re exactly right, that’s where he got the name from. why he continues to lie about the origin of the name to this day is confounding lol. especially since he was ministry’s roadie before forming NIN.
@thehornypuppy not sure if you just couldn't make it out, but I heard the following bands mentioned: Front Line Assembly, Throbbing Gristle, and Test Dept. Was that what you wanted to know?
@@isabellaswan2526 0:48 - maybe? that's when he reaches into bis jacket, you hear a crinkle sound but the continuation of his movement suggests that he's scratching his chest, then he takes the cup with the same hand to take a sip, and then you see him chewing in the close-up shot at 1:03. He (as well as the others) could just be chewing gum, though there are drugs that make people grind their teeth or engage their jaw in a way that reads as 'chewing'.

Does anyone else find it absurdly cute how he's seemingly always wondering where to put his hands?
He's not allowed to wear his wedding ring apparently, so he keeps hiding his left hand so his Wife won't glare at him.
Yesss!

Yup for sure I was born in 78 so this was right at my teenage years

Mainly 80s but okay....

please stop
The 90's. The last decade of rock stardom and quality music; the internet destroyed the mystery of the artist.
yep.
Trent never really lost that mystique, but ya I get your point. We can now binge watch anything and gossip columns ruin it all these days. ..
It's a good thing it did too because artists are not mysterious.
You're just not an artist.
Sadly Trent was one of the musicians that pushed the internet age for music, and now it’s something he kind of regrets doing, seeing that people would rather use computers to make “music” with little to no effort, than to have someone like Trent use the ever advancing technology to expand the complexities of his music.

Clearly...Trent doesn't give a damn about this interview...
This is literally just how he was in interviews back then lol
What a treasure, thanks for posting this!
Wow. This interview happened before I was even born. How could I have gone my whole life without NIN until now?
i feel the same but 11years later xd

Lmao "aaaaannnd we're gonna skip the next caller"
Love Trent, he was COOL then and he's COOL NOW!
which is funny, since Axl Rose LOVED industrial music
Good lord smacking away on that gum
Trent in the 90's was the posterboy of Goth
That's a fkn cool set. Looks like a section of Matrix hovercraft interior.
The show is Request Video. The host is Gia DeSantis. This is all shown in the opening credits of the video.
Trent backpedaling his comments about FLA and Bill Leeb just makes me chuckle.
GNR is hardly a faded memory they're now known as having been one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.
i just wanna shave off his stupid flavor saver
Is Trent chewing Bubblegum or something other? Love them.
Even in the early 90s they couldn't let go of the glass brick.

XXthekingofyouXX im sure people thought they were anti women due to the use of "whore" and "bowing down" etc etc
