[NIN]

Michael Trent Reznor was born May 17th, 1965 (a Taurus) in Mercer, Pennsylvania to Michael Reznor and Nancy Clark. Reznor was called by his middle name to avoid confusion with his father. When Reznor was five, his parents divorced, and he was sent to live with his maternal grandparents in Mercer. He began playing the piano at the age of five and showed an early aptitude for music. At the Mercer Area Junior and Senior High Schools, Reznor learned to also play the saxophone and tuba. He was a member of both the jazz and marching bands.Reznor also became involved in theater while in high school.****** Reznor graduated from high school in 1983 and enrolled at Allegheny College. He studied computer engineering and music, and he joined a local band named Option 30 which played three shows per week. After a year in college, Reznor decided to drop out to pursue his career in music fulltime. With his high school friend Chris Vrenna, Reznor moved to Cleveland, Ohio. In 1985, he joined a band named The Innocent as a keyboardist. They released one album, Livin' in the Street, but Reznor quit after just three months.

In 1986, it all started when Koster, an owner of a studio, allowed Reznor (who was the handyman there) to use the studio during off hours, which he used to record demos for songs that ended up on Nine Inch Nails' first album, Pretty Hate Machine (1989). These demos were later released as a bootleg under the name Purest Feeling.

From 1994 - 1996 he worked on various soundtracks, music for the video game DOOM, and several albums Marylin Manson released. During the five years between his albums The Downward Spiral (1994) and The Fragile (1999), Trent Reznor struggled with depression, social anxiety disorder, writer's block, and the death of his grandmother. It has also been revealed by Reznor that he had been suffering from alcohol/heroin addiction during the Fragile era. It was reported that Reznor had considered committing suicide during this period. In a 1999 interview for Rolling Stone magazine, he said that "It just took me time to sit down and change my head and my life around. I had to slap myself in the face: 'If you want to kill yourself, do it, save everybody the fucking hassle. Or get your shit together.'" Which brought the release of the 2005 album "With Teeth".
Nine Inch Nails discography Although Nine Inch Nails has existed for over 18 years, it has only produced four proper full-length albums: Pretty Hate Machine, The Downward Spiral, The Fragile, and With Teeth, with an average of five years between each album.The seeming sparseness of this discography belies the extent of NIN's work, as each main release serves as a center to numerous satellite releases, including remix albums, singles with extensive collections of b-sides, and tour documentaries. Indeed, each primary release is seen as the center of an associated era, in which the secondary releases are viewed as vitally important to understanding of the artistic whole. This feeling is enhanced by Nine Inch Nails' adoption of halo numbers to number each release, regardless of format. This sequential system carries the implicit message that every NIN release, from albums to singles, is an equally-important part of NIN's catalog.In addition to official releases, NIN has performed work on numerous soundtracks and remixes.
Nothing Records was a vanity label founded by Trent Reznor and John Malm, Jr. in 1992 .

Reznor's own band Nine Inch Nails were the first to be signed to the label, shortly followed by Marilyn Manson and Pig . Today the label is home to a number of additional artists, including Pop Will Eat Itself , Prick , and The The . In September 2004, Trent Reznor left New Orleans for the west coast , which entailed also leaving Nothing Studios. The Nine Inch Nails website read "nothing studios: 1994-2004", suggesting that Nothing Studios are no more. What this means for the record label is unclear.

In a May 5, 2005 on a post on the official NIN website , Trent says, "To be clear: my involvement with Nothing Records is over. Is Nothing Records alive or an entity? You'd have to ask John Malm (we're not really speaking that much these days)... Nothing studios is still in New Orleans and I'm not sure what I'll do with it. I'll figure that out when I finish touring."

The studios, located on Magazine St., were apparently not seriously damaged by Hurricane Katrina . [1]

On radio station in Los Angeles called KROQ 106.7, Reznor did a radio show (called Breakfast with Kevin and Bean) and said that the studio in New Orleans was not a studio anymore.

The Nothing Records logo appears on the back of the album " With Teeth ", and all CD singles afterwards. Nothing Records has also appeared on all Nine Inch Nails albums since the Broken EP. (Except earlier prints, and the re-released ' Pretty Hate Machine ')

Nothing records is also the label for the Marilyn Manson albums from Portrait of an American Family to Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) , Manson Best of was released via Interscope records.. Reznor produced the Marilyn Manson albums Portrait of an American Family and Antichrist Superstar and has not produced any since.

All The Love In The World - Nine Inch Nails Watching all the insects march along Seem to know right where they belong Smears of face reflecting in the chrome Hiding in the crowd i'm all aloneNoone's heard a single word I've said They don't sound as good outside my head It looks as if the past is here to stay I've become a million miles a--Why do you get all the love in the world? [x2]All the jagged edges dissapear Colors all look brighter when you're near The stars are all a fire in the sky Sometimes I get soo lonely I could--Why do you get all the love in the world You Know What You Are? - Nine Inch Nails I tried to stick myself through try to get to the other side I had to patch up the cracks and the holes that i had to hide For a little bit of time even made it work (ok) Just long enough to really make it hurt When you figured me out and it all just rotted away[Chorus] Don't you fucking know what you are? [x3] Com'on get back to where you belong!You better take a good look 'cause I'm full of shit With every bit of my heart I've tried to believe in it You can dress it up, you can try to pretend But you can't change anything in the end[Chorus]Remember where you came from, remember what you are[Chorus] The Collector - Nine Inch Nails I pick things up I am a collector And things-well-things which tend to work your mind I have this net It drags behind me It picks up things For me to feed uponThere are times - plenty of times I wish I could let it go They start to breed, and they start to grow inside of me There are times - plenty of times I wish I could let it go But they start to make me think things I don't wanna know[Chorus] I'm trying to fit it all inside I'm trying to open my mouth wide I'm trying not to choke And swallow it all, swallow it all, swallow it allI am the plaque I am the swarm All your heart sticks on me And I keep it warm They won't let me stay they won't let me leave They are soo many of them it gets hard to breath[Chorus]Every last one every last one every last on every last one [repeat to fade out] The Hand That Feeds - Nine Inch Nails You're keeping in step In the line Got your chin held high and you feel just fine Because you do What you're told But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's coldJust how deep do you believe? Will you bite the hand that feeds? Will you chew until it bleeds? Can you get up off your knees? Are you brave enough to see? Do you want to change it?What if this whole crusade's A charade And behind it all there's a price to be paid For the blood On which we dine Justified in the name of the holy and the divineJust how deep do you believe? Will you bite the hand that feeds? Will you chew until it bleeds? Can you get up off your knees? Are you brave enough to see? Do you want to change it?So naive I keep holding on to what I want to believe I can see But I keep holding on and on and on and onWill you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees? Love Is Not Enough - Nine Inch Nails The more that we take The paler we get I can't remember what it is We try to forget The towel on the floor Soo cold it could sting In your eyes there's a place Warm with rememberingFor you to go and take this and smash it apart I've gone all this fucking way To wind up back at-I'm back at the start[Chorus] The closer we think we are Well it only got us soo far Have you got anything left to show? No no I didn't think so The sooner we realize We cover ourselfs with lies But underneath we're not soo tough Love is not enoughWell it hides in the dark Like the withered vien We didn't give it a mouth So it cannot complain We never really had a chance We'd never really make it through I never think'd I'd believed I believed I could get better with you![Chorus] Every Day Is Exactly The Same - Nine Inch Nails I believe I can see the future Cuz I repeat the same routine. I think I used to have a purpose then again, that might have been a dream.I think I used to have a voice, now I never make a sound. I just do what I've been told. I really don't want them to come around, oh no.Every day is exactly the same. Every day is exactly the same. There is no love here, and there is no pain. Every day is exactly the same.I can feel their eyes are watching, in case I lose myself again. Sometimes I think I'm happy here. (Sometimes) Sometimes, yeah I still pretend.I can't remember how this got started, oh. But I can tell you exactly how it will end.Every day is exactly the same. Every day is exactly the same. There is no love here, and there is no pain. Every day is exactly the same.I'm writing on a little piece of paper I'm hoping some day you might find. Well I'll hide it behind something they won't look behind.I am still inside her, a little bit comes bleeding through. I wish this could have been any other way, but I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do!Every day is exactly the same. Every day is exactly the same. There is no love here, and there is no pain. (Every day) Every day is exactly the same. (Exactly the same!) Every day Every day (Every day) is exactly the same. (Every day) Every day is exactly the same. There is no love here, and there is no pain. (Every day) Every day is exactly the same With Teeth - Nine Inch Nails She comes along She gets inside She makes you better than anything you've tried It's in her kiss As black as sea And it runs deeper than you Ever dared dream it could be[Chorus] With the teeth [x4]A wave goodbye To what you were The rules have changed The lines begin to blur She makes you hard It comes on strong You've find the place where you belong[Chorus]I cannot go through this again [x4][Chorus]She will not let you go Keeps holding on She will not let you go Keeps holding on This time, I'm not coming back She will not let you go This time, I'm not coming back She will not let you go Only - Nine Inch Nails I'm becoming less defined as days go by Fading away Well you might say I'm loosing focus Kind adrifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myselfSometimes I think I can see right through myself [x3]Less concerned about fitting into the world Your world that is Because it doesn't really matter (no it doesn't really matter anymore) None of this really matters anymoreYes I'm alone but then again I always was As far back as I can tell I think maybe it's because you never were really real to begin with I just made you up to hurt myself [x6] And it worked. Yes it did![Chorus] There is no you There is only me There is no you There is only me There is no fucking you There is only me There is no fucking you There is only meOnly [x3]The tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be scab and I had this funny feeling Like I just knew it was something bad I just couldn't leave it alone, picking at that scab Was a doorway trying to seal itself shut But I climbed throughNow I am somehwere I am not supposed to be, and I can see things I knew I really Shouldn't see And now I know why (yea now I know why) Things aren't as pretty On the inside[Chorus] Getting Smaller - Nine Inch Nails Getting a little bit irradic here And I don't know who to trust I guess it got away (you're reading my mind) I guess I've got to adjust I've got my arms a-flip-flop-flip-flop-flip I got my head on spring And I thought I got you on my side I havn't got fuckin anything[Chorus] I'm just a face in the clouds Nothing to worry about Not even trying to stand out I'm getting smaller and smaller and smaller and I got nothing to say Its all been taken away I just behave and obey I'm afriad im starting to fade awayI can hardly see through the cracks (when i press up on the wall) I'm not looking to stand up real high (id be happy to crawl) I think I'm loosing my grip (but i can still make a fist) You know I've still got my one good arm and i can beat-i can beat myself up with it![Chorus]And for what it was worth I really used to believe That maybe there was one great thing We could achieve Now I can't tell the difference between what I've been trying soo hard to see, and what appears to Be realFading away [x4] My world is getting smaller everyday (and thats ok) [repeat fade out] Sunspots - Nine Inch Nails Sunspots cast a glare in my eye Sometimes I forget I'm alive I feel it coming and I've gotta get out of its way I hear it calling and I come 'cause I can't disobey I should not listen and I shouldn't listen But I do Yes I do[Chorus] She turns me on She makes me real I have to apologize For the way I feelMy life, it seems has taken a turn Why in the name of god would I ever want to return Peel off our skin we're gonna burn what we were to the ground Fuck in the fire and we'll spread the ashes around I wanna kill away the rest of what's left and I do Yes I do[Chorus] And nothing can stop me now There is nothing to fear And everything I'd ever want Is inside a tearNow I just stare into the sun And I see everything I've done I think I could've been someone But I cannot stop what has begun When everything is said and done And there is nowhere left to run I think I could have been someone Now I just stare into the sun The Line Begins To Blur - Nine Inch Nails There are things I said I would never do There are fears I can not believe have come true For my soul is too sick and it's too little and too late And myself I have grown to weary to hateThe more I stay in here The more it's not so clear The more I stay in here The more I disappearAs far as I have gone I knew what side I'm on But now I'm not so sure The line begins to blurThere's somebody on top of me I don't know I don't know Is anyone stopping me? I don't know I don't know I won't try and hold my breath I don't know I don't know Just how far can I go I don't know I don't knowAs I lay here The fabric starts to tear It's far beyond repair And I don't really careAs far as I have gone I knew what side I'm on But now I'm not so sure The line begins to blur Beside You In Time - Nine Inch Nails i am all alone this time around sometimes on the side i hear a sound places parallel, i know it's you feel the little pieces bleeding throughand on this goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on this goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and onnow that i've decided not to stay i can feel me start to fade away everything is back where it belongs i will be beside you before longand on this goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on this goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and onoooh, we will never die oooh, beside you in time oooh, we will never die oooh, beside you in time Right Where It Belongs - Nine Inch Nails See the animal in it's cage that you built Are you sure what side you're on Better not look him too closely in the eye Are you sure what side of the glass you are on See the safety of the life you have built Everything where it belongs Feel the hollowness inside of your heart And it's all Right where it belongs[Chorus] What if everything around you Isn't quite as it seems What if all the world you think you know Is an elaborate dream And if you look at your reflection Is it all you wanted to be? What if you could look right through the cracks Would you find yourself Find yourself afriad to see?What if all the world's inside of your heart Just creations of your own Your devils and your gods All the living and the dead And you really are alone You can live in this illusion You can choose to believe You keep looking but you can't find the words Are you hiding in the dreams?[Chorus]
