'''Michael Trent Reznor''' (born [[May 17]], [[1965]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[musician]], [[singer]], [[record producer|producer]], and [[multi-instrumentalist]]. Trent Reznor is the founder and primary creative force behind the band [[Nine Inch Nails]].
There are a number of areas to work on, at this point; keep in mind, though, that this is a very high-profile article, so you should be careful to move slowly and carefully to avoid getting entangled in any editorial conflicts here.
==Biography==
* <s>The article is, in my opinion, simply too long; we're looking at 72K (~12,000 words) of prose. The "Legacy" section, in particular, is ripe for splitting out into a separate [[Legacy of the Korean War]] article, with a much shorter summary left in the main one.</s>
Michael Trent Reznor was born in [[Mercer, Pennsylvania|Mercer]], [[Pennsylvania]] halfway between [[Pittsburgh]] and [[Cleveland]] to Michael J. Reznor and Nancy Clark. Reznor was called by his middle name to avoid confusion with his father. After his parents divorced, Trent lived with his grandparents, and his sister Tera lived with their mother.[http://nothing.nin.net/int2.html].
* <s>"Korean War (1950 – 1953)" should really be something like "Course of the war"; you probably don't want to repeat the article title as a section heading.</s>
* The citations need cleanup; at a minimum, all of the embedded external links should be converted to footnotes. There are also a number of "citation needed" tags floating around. Beyond that, more thorough citation would be appropriate throughout the article; see [[WP:MILHIST#CITE]] for some guidelines.
* <s>The "Depictions" section should be turned into prose, rather than a laundry list of films; see also [[WP:MILHIST#POP]].</s>
* <s>The "Names" section, as it's presently constituted, would work much better as a narrow sidebar; it's of some interest, but I doubt there's enough material to sustain a separate section.</s>
* <s>The "See also" section should be eliminated. If something isn't worth linking from the text, it's generally not worth linking at all. </s>
* <s>The rump "Bibliography" section should be removed as well.</s>
* The "External links" section could use trimming.
Hope that helps! [[User:Kirill Lokshin|Kirill]] 04:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)<s>cool</s>

Reznor began playing the [[piano]] at the age of five and showed an early aptitude for music. In a 1995 interview, his grandfather Bill Clark remarked, "Music was his life, from the time he was a wee boy. He was so gifted." [http://nothing.nin.net/int12.html] His former piano teacher Rita Beglin said "Reznor always reminded me of [[Harry Connick, Jr.]]" when he played.
Reznor has repeatedly acknowledged that his sheltered life in Pennsylvania left him feeling somewhat isolated from the outside world. In a 1994 interview with ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', he makes reference to his choices in the music industry, "I don't know why I want to do these things," Reznor says, "other than my desire to escape from Small Town, U.S.A., to dismiss the boundaries, to explore. It isn't a bad place where I grew up, but there was nothing going on but the cornfields. My life experience came from watching movies, watching TV and reading books and looking at magazines. And when your fucking culture comes from watching TV every day, you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool, places that seem interesting, people who have jobs and careers and opportunities. None of that happened where I was. You're almost taught to realize it's not for you." [http://www.9inchnails.com/articles/articles.php?id=8] However, Reznor later confesses, "I don't want to give the impression it was a miserable childhood." [http://www.9inchnails.com/articles/articles.php?id=13]
At the Mercer Area Junior and Senior [[High School]]s, Reznor learned to play the [[saxophone]] and [[tuba]]. He was a member of both the [[jazz band|jazz]] and [[marching band]]s. Former Mercer High School band director Dr. Hendley Hoge remembered Reznor as "very upbeat and friendly." [http://nothing.nin.net/int12.html] Reznor also became involved in theater while in high school. He was voted Best in Drama by classmates for his roles as [[Judas]] in ''[[Jesus Christ Superstar]]'' and Professor Harold Hill in ''[[The Music Man]]''.
Reznor graduated from high school in 1983 and enrolled at [[Allegheny College]], where he studied [[computer engineering]], joined a local band named [[Option 30]] and played three shows per week with them. After a year in college, Reznor decided to drop out to pursue a full-time career in music.
Reznor moved to [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]], [[Ohio]]. In 1985, he joined a band named [[The Innocent (band)|The Innocent]] as a [[keyboardist]]. They released one album, ''Livin' in the Street'', but Reznor quit after just three months. In 1986, Reznor appeared as a member of the fictional band The Problems in the film ''[[Light of Day]]''.[http://imdb.com/title/tt0093415/soundtrack] He also joined a local Cleveland band called the [[Exotic Birds]].
He got a job at [[Midtown Recording|Right Track Studio]] (now known as Midtown Recording) as a handyman. Studio owner Bart Koster commented how Reznor "is so focused in everything he does. When that guy waxed the floor, it looked great." [http://nothing.nin.net/int12.html] Koster allowed Reznor 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]]''. These demos were later released as a bootleg under the name ''[[Purest Feeling]]''.
[[Image:Reznormanson.jpg|right|thumb|Trent Reznor (right) and Marilyn Manson at a 2000 concert]]
Reznor was the credited producer for [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s albums ''[[Portrait of an American Family]]'' (1994), ''[[Smells Like Children]]'' (1995), and ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]'' (1996), as well as the soundtrack for the films ''[[Natural Born Killers]]'' and ''[[Lost Highway]]''. Reznor is credited for "Driver Down" and "Videodrones; Questions" on the soundtrack for ''[[Lost Highway]]''. One other track, "[[The Perfect Drug]]" is credited to Nine Inch Nails instead. Also featured in the soundtrack for the [[Gregg Araki]] film ''[[The Doom Generation]]'' ("Heresy"), as well as Zack Snyder's ''[[300]]'' ("Complication").
Reznor likes [[video game]]s, most notably ''[[Doom]]'' by [[id Software]], which he has said he played on the Nine Inch Nails tour bus after doing shows. He also created the soundtrack for [[ID Software]]'s hit ''[[Quake computer game|Quake]]''. The NIN logo also appears on the [[nail gun]] ammo boxes in ''Quake'' and prior to this, embedded in both the floor and ceiling of a [[secret passage|secret room]] in ''Ultimate Doom''.
Trent returned to work with id Software in 2003 as the sound engineer for [[video game]] ''[[Doom 3]]''. However, due to "time, money and bad management" [http://www.nin.com/access/7_21_04/index.php], he had to abandon this project, and his audio work did not make it into the game's release. The original audio files can be found on the Internet, although they are not officially endorsed by Reznor nor id Software. Chris Vrenna, former drummer for Nine Inch Nails, produced the music for ''Doom 3'' with his partner Clint Walsh.
[[Image:Reznorwilliams.jpg|left|thumb|Trent Reznor produces music with [[Saul Williams]] in March of 2006]]
During the five years between his albums ''[[The Downward Spiral]]'' (1994) and ''[[The Fragile]]'' (1999), Trent Reznor struggled with [[clinical depression|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 and drug addiction during the ''Fragile'' era.
In a 2005 interview with ''[[Kerrang!]]'', Reznor makes a note of his self-destructive past, "There was a persona that had run its course. I needed to get my priorities straight, my head screwed on. Instead of always working, I took a couple of years off, just to figure out who I was and working out if I wanted to keep doing this or not. I had become a terrible addict; I needed to get my shit together, figure out what had happened." [http://theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=21] In contrast with his former suicidal tendencies [http://www.9inchnails.com/articles/articles.php?id=41], the song artist admitted in a 2005 interview with ''[[Revolver (magazine)|Revolver]]'' that "I’m pretty happy right now," adding "Wait! Don’t print that! You’ll ruin my reputation. At least lie and say that I’ve got a dead body in my closet or something." [http://theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=51]
Reznor was involved in a feud with the band [[Limp Bizkit]] (specifically their frontman [[Fred Durst]]) in the late 1990s, around the height of their popularity, calling Durst a "moron" and saying in a 1999 interview in [[Rolling Stone]] magazine, "Let Fred Durst surf a piece of plywood up my ass." [http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/12026296] It is noted, however, that Reznor is credited as a writer of the song "Hot Dog" on Bizkit's album, <i>Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water</i>. This is due to this song's use of lyrics from the NIN song "[[Closer to God|Closer]]," in particular the phrase "I want to fuck you like an animal." Reznor was put in the difficult position of having to give permission for his own lyrics to be used in a song mocking him but interviews at the time suggested that he thought it was best to allow permission rather than drag the issue out." [http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=380496384&search_in=i&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=20&start=1]
[[Tapeworm (band)|Tapeworm]], a collaboration with [[Danny Lohner]], [[Maynard James Keenan]] of [[Tool (band)|Tool]], and Atticus Ross of [[12 Rounds (band)|12 Rounds]], was in production for almost ten years, but an update on the official Nine Inch Nails website declared that the project had been terminated. The only known performance of any Tapeworm material was when Keenan's other band [[A Perfect Circle]] performed the song "Vacant" on tour in 2001. "Vacant" appears on A Perfect Circle's third album ''[[eMOTIVe]]'', reworked and retitled "Passive".
Reznor will make a guest appearance on rapper [[El-Producto|El-P]]'s next album, ''I'll Sleep When You're Dead'' [http://www.cmj.com/articles/display_article.php?id=10547222], on the track "Flyentology" [http://www.theninhotline.net/news/index.php?fromrss=1#1150060484]. El-P remixed the NIN track "[[Only (Nine Inch Nails song)|Only]]", released with the single "[[Every Day Is Exactly the Same]]". Reznor has also been confirmed as the co-producer of the next album by [[Saul Williams]], who toured with NIN in 2005 and 2006 [http://www.theninhotline.net/news/index.php?fromrss=1#1142284426].
Reznor recently finished working on a new Nine Inch Nails album, entitled ''[[Year Zero (album)|Year Zero]]'', which is due for release on April 17, 2007. A DVD taken from two "Live: With Teeth" tour dates on [[March 28]] in [[Oklahoma City, Oklahoma]], and [[March 30]] in [[El Paso, Texas]] entitled ''[[Beside You In Time]]'' was released in the US on February 27, 2007 on [[DVD]], [[HD DVD]], and [[Blu-Ray]] formats. A teaser trailer was released via his official website on September 23rd, 2006. [http://www.nin.com/current/]
In 2006, Trent played his first "solo" show(s) at Neil Young's annual [[Bridge School Benefit]]. Backed by a four piece string section, Trent performed stripped down versions of many Nine Inch Nails classics.

==Trivia==
{{toomuchtrivia}}
*In the interview after their [[Woodstock '94]] performance, despite Nine Inch Nails having the largest crowd density at the event (overshadowing [[Metallica]]) Reznor claimed he thought it was a horrible performance.
*Reznor enjoyed [[science fiction]] as a child, particularly the television show ''[[The Six Million Dollar Man]]''. Later in life, he used the Six Million Dollar Man's name, "[[Steve Austin (fictional character)|Steve Austin]]," as an assumed name when traveling [http://www.9inchnails.com/articles/articles.php?id=13].
*Reznor has been linked to [[singer-songwriter]] [[Tori Amos]], especially by their online fan communities. Reznor stated that her album [[Little Earthquakes]], which included the lyric "demigods with their nine inch nails," was a fixture in his car CD player. He later provided guest vocals on the song "Past the Mission" for Amos's ''[[Under the Pink]]''. She gave interviews expressing their shared experience of wanting to jump out of a hotel window, and stated that ''[[The Downward Spiral]]'' was one of her favorite albums. Reznor said in a [[1996 in music|1996]] interview, "We're not that close now. Some malicious meddling on the part of Courtney Love."<ref>{{cite web

}}</ref> She was one of many artists parodied in the video for [[Starfuckers, Inc.]] The word "Starfucker" may have been taken from the song "Professional Widow", also rumoured to be about Love, by Tori Amos.
*Reznor is an admitted addict to the [[id Software]] first-person shooter [[Doom]], and cites his addiction as being the cause of some delays between albums. Similar to Doom, the FPS [[Quake]], features a 'Nail Gun', with ammunition boxes displaying the Nine Inch Nails "NIN" logo, in tribute to Reznor's support of the game.
*Reznor is in possession of [[John Lennon]]'s [[Mellotron]], which he has used on ''Broken'', ''The Fragile'', and [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson's]] 2nd full-length studio album, ''Antichrist Superstar''. This specific [[mellotron]] is best known for its use in the intro of [[The Beatles]] classic song [[Strawberry Fields Forever]] - as explained by [[Paul McCartney]] in [[The Beatles Anthology]].
*Trent is 5 ft 6 in (1.70 m) tall.
*While writing ''[[The Downward Spiral]]'', Reznor lived in the Tate mansion where the [[Charles Manson|Manson family]] murders took place. After he moved out, and it was demolished, he went back and took the door as a souvenir. It became the front door to Nothing Studios in [[New Orleans]].
*Reznor is a big fan of [[David Bowie]], and one of his favorite David Bowie albums is ''[[Low (album)|Low]]'' from 1977. He has stated in interviews that he played it constantly during the recording of ''The Downward Spiral'', for inspiration. However, he occasionally cites Bowie's ''[[Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)]]'' as his favorite, and has performed the title track live with Bowie during Bowie's ''Outside Tour'' in 1995.
*During the process of making Marilyn Manson's ''Antichrist Superstar'', Manson described Reznor as "the brother I never had," according to his autobiography, ''[[The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell]]''.
*In 1999, Trent was asked by American R&B singer [[Aaliyah]] to produce a song on her next album. However, due to scheduling conflicts it never happened. The album, later titled [[Aaliyah (album)|Aaliyah]] was primarily produced by [[Timbaland]] and released in July 2001. [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1424660/02021999/aaliyah.jhtml]
*In January of 2006, Reznor filmed a [[public service announcement]] for [[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]] [http://www.furisdead.com/feat-trentreznor.asp].
*In April of 2006 on [http://www.nin-thespiral.com/ The Spiral Fanclub] message board, Trent Reznor posted that he officially ended his struggle with drugs and alcohol on June 11th, 2001.
*Trent is a direct descendant of George Reznor, founder of the Reznor Company (founded 1888), a heating and air conditioning company. Although the family sold the business in the 1960s, Reznor equipment is still manufactured in Trent's hometown of Mercer, Pennsylvania. <ref>[http://www.rezspec.com/index.php?pageid=000000000017&mod_faq%5Bfaqid%5D=000000000003&mod_faq%5Bmode%5D=3 Reznor Heating Corporate Website FAQ]</ref>
*In November of 2006, fans and animal lovers voted Trent #1 in [http://www.peta2.com/ peta2's] first-ever Libby Awards as the "Best New Fur Foe."
*The character 'Trevor Reznik' from ''[[The Machinist]]'' was likely a nod to Trent as [[The Machinist]]'s writer, [[Scott Kosar]], loves [[Nine Inch Nails]] and his original script had a quote from their lyrics on the first page.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361862/trivia The Machinist: Trivia from imdb.com]</ref>
*Trent shares a birthday with [[Josh Homme]] of [[Queens of the Stone Age]].
