this thing in the first place.  They all did a thoroughly excellent job
on it.

1.  BAND INFORMATION (both current and previous)
============================================================================

Note: additional information regarding the members of Nine Inch Nails
can be obtained from the nin FAQ:
        http://www.prairienet.org/~konkers/ninfaq.html

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.a)  Before Nine Inch Nails
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trent was in the following bands, previous to the creation of Nine Inch
Nails (in probable order):

        Option 30 (a band back in Mercer, PA)

        The Urge (called a cover band, which implies they covered other
        artists)

        The Innocents (One record called Living On The St. was released.
        This was his first Cleveland band)

        Slam Bam Boo (Trent did Keyboards, Programming and, backing vocals)

        Hanson: The Movie (Trent did Keyboards, Programming, and
        engineering)

        Lucky Pierre (this was Kevin McMahon's band, the guy behind Prick.
        Trent played keyboards, live only, during the 84-85 period.
        He also appeared on the 1988 Communique EP, (see listing below)

        The Exotic Birds (see known release below).

        "The Problems" from the movie "The Light of Day" was Michael J.
        Fox and Joan Jett's backup band and was composed of Trent Reznor
        (on keyboards), Frank Vale (from the Exotic Birds), and Mark
        Addison (from the Nation Of One)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.b)  During NIN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Probable Order:

        Trent recorded with Pigface as a rotating member.
        Trent played with Revolting Cocks during a tour.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.c)  And now NINE INCH NAILS IS TRENT REZNOR!  W00 H00!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently, the live band, and hopefully the band which will appear on the
next album, is composed of:

        Chris Vrenna (drums, official 2nd member of the band - he is on a
              temporary leave of absence, and is working with the Smashing
              Pumpkins in a 'technical advisory capacity')
        Robin Finck (guitars, on a temporary leave of absence)
        Danny Lohner (guitars, bass, keyboard)
        James Woolley (keyboardist through most of the 94-95 tour)
        Charlie Clouser (keyboardist for conclusion of 95)
        Sean Beavan(sound man, who I have been told could be considered
                the sixth live band member)

Past members include:

        Richard Patrick (guitars for 89-91 tours. now in Filter, with
                Brian 'Moonking' Liesegang, who also has done production
                work with NIN)
        Jeff Ward (drums, rest in peace.  Also in Ministry, Lard,
                Low Pop Suicide)
        Martin Atkins (played drums in a few shows.)

       The Australian CD5 has a copyright blurb about a sample
       from Prince's "tambourine" and "release it" by Prince, Levi
       Seacer Jr., and Morris Day on the cardboard sleeve and CD.

       The 10" was a limited edition containing a poster (the sleeve),
       with a cross and several heads in fishtanks... it is in full
       color.

       The CD's 'slate' mix is actually the 'clay' mix.

        The liner notes on the Japanese release indicate that the

Notes on the German Release:
  This release came in a tin about 25cm in diameter, and 2-4 cm thick.
  It is black metal, with a circular picture of a bloody rope in the middle.
  It has a "made in germany" sticker on the side.  The tin contains a
  circular sheet of acetate with the nin logo at the top, "nine inch nails"
  below, and a track listing below that.  The track listing is the same as the
  UK version.  Below that is the cd, packed in grey foam, and three pins.


Note: Also known as HALO TEN.

5.  PHANTOM NIN SONGS
============================================================================

Phantom songs and remixes are those that were never released, legally
or at all. A number of these can be found on bootlegs, and i suggest
that you go to Demands Devotion, an RoIO discography, if you would like to
figure out where to get them...
   
Twist ~ This is available on the Purest Feeling, Demos and Remixes and
   Welcome to the Hatemachine RoIOs, as well as bootlegs of the live at
   Irving Plaza show (NYC, 10-31-88) (for example, Shut Up Or Throw Up,
   and Irving Plaza).
   
Maybe Just Once ~ This is available on the Purest Feeling, and Welcome
   to the Hatemachine RoIOs. It was also performed live at the Irving
   Plaza show (NYC, 10-31-88). (for example, Shut Up Or Throw Up, and
   Irving Plaza).
   
Purest Feeling ~ This is available on the Purest Feeling and Welcome
   To The Hatemachine RoIOs.
   
Intro To Sanctified (aka Slate) ~ This is available on the Purest
   Feeling and Welcome To The Hatemachine RoIOs.
   
Intro To Terrible Lie ~ This was performed on the 1990 Pretty Hate
   Machine tour, and available on bootlegs such as Chicago Metro
   (7-27-90).
   
Now I'm Nothing ~ This was Performed on the 1991 Lollapalooza/Now I'm
   Nothing tours, available on RoIOs such as Solid Gold Hell.
   
Last (butch vig remix) ~ This track was originally remixed for Fixed
   but removed from the final track listing. The ending of it ended up
   being used in 'Throw This Away' and credited to Butch Vig. The
   complete mix originally popped up on the internet as a file,
   NIN_LAST.AIFF, available by ftp from CYBERDEN.COM. It disappeared from
   the site quite some time ago. It appeared as a hidden bonus track on
   the Erase Me: The Tainted Touch of Trent's Caress cassette compilation
   organized by a few alt.music.ninnies: David D. Yuhnke, Michael Roston,
   Mr. Orange, Squirtis, and csy.
   
Gave Up (Coil remix) ~ This was used in movie Young Americans; it is
   faster than the Fixed version and it uses the same sound template,
   according to John Balance of Coil. The Fixed version appears on
   soundtrack, but the version in the movie is not available anywhere.
   
Reptile (3rd Dave Ogilvie Mix) ~ This was rumoured to be a hidden
   track (11 - Reptilian) on the Japanese release of Halo 10, but that
   track is the same as the version on Halo 7.

Lovegun ~ This Kiss remake is believed to exist, but is currently not
   available in any format. It was intended for the Kiss My Ass tribute
   CD.

Eraser (a version with worms)
The Downward Spiral (a gilded sickness)
The Downward Spiral (full blown) ~ These three tracks were rumoured to
   be remixes by Coil, but it is speculated that these mixes (or elements
   thereof) are the ones that are actually on Further Down The Spiral
   with different mix names.

Live In Me
Something Blue ~ These two tracks first appears on the Rusty Nails ][
   RoIO. The first was labelled as (Old Unreleased) and the second as (New
   Unreleased). The first is simply a simple keyboard bridge and the 
   second is a "mix" of The Downward Spiral that consists of muting the
   music so that the lyrics are more audible and then playing a simple
   keyboard melody overtop. It is speculated that both of these tracks
   were actually created by The Hitman (the person who is credited with
   the CD).

Metal (a gary numan cover) ~ never released in any format. In an
   interview in the April 1995 issue of details magazine, the recording
   of this track is mentioned. Nothing has been heard or seen of this
   track since. This was supposed to have been recorded for a Gary Numan
   Tribute album, but is not included on the track listing.

6. Trent Reznor's Work With Other Artists
============================================================================


Artist        Work                 Notes
------        ----                 -----



1000          Supernaut CDS        Rumours abound concerning this release.
Homo                               The original version of this song
DJ'S                               contains intact Trent Reznor vocals.
                                   However, at the time of the recording
                                   TVT kicked up a fuss about one of its
                                   most profitable acts being involved
                                   in a side project.  So, the track was
                                   redone, and released as a single (this
                                   version can also be found on the Black
                                   Sabbath tribute album "Nativity in Black).
                                   Official, the vocals on this track were
                                   listed as being Al Jorgensen; however,
                                   it is widely speculated that the vocals
                                   are the original Reznor vocals, distorted
                                   from the original recording.  The
                                   original recording itself can be found on
                                   the Wax Trax Black box release.
                                   (First Track on the First CD of that set)
                                   Trent is credited with guitar on all
                                   releases of this track.

Tori          Under                Trent did the backing vocals on
Amos          The Pink             "Past the Mission".

Butthole      Who Was in My Room   Trent did a remix of this.
Surfers       Last Night Promo     It is also on the Wooden Song EP;
                                   it is also available on the Volume 8
                                   compilation referred to as the Tate or
                                   Tot remix.

David         The Heart's Filthy   Trent and David Ogilvie remixed the
Bowie         Lesson               "alt." version of this song, which
                                   appears on both the US and UK releases
                                   of this single.  The track is 5:20
                                   in length.  It was released domestically
                                   on Virgin Records, 1995, serial number
                                   7243 8 38518 2 9  V25F-38518.  It was
                                   created at South Beach Stuidos,
                                   Miami Beach.  There is also a promo for
                                   "The Heart's Filthy Lesson" whose serial
                                   number is PRCDO-11005.

Crunch-0-     Caution Do           From the credits: "data supplied by
Matic         Not Play             Trent Reznor".

Curve         BlackerThree-        Trent did a remix of "Missing Link" (5.00)
              TrackerTwo           called "Screaming Bird Mix" (6.25 ),
                                   credited to Flood and T.Reznor.  The
                                   remixes appear on the Missing Link EP
                                   (Promo CD5, 1993, Anxious Records Ltd /
                                   Charisma Records America, PRO-14116).

Garbage       Garbage              In the liner notes for the Garbage album,
                                   Trent Reznor is mentioned in the special
                                   thanks between "Puff" and "Queen Helen".
                                   This probably has to do with the story
                                   about how the band was named. Specifically,
                                   Butch Vig does a remix for Fixed, and
                                   Reznor likes it not, but uses the end.
                                   Someone describes the remix as "Garbage"
                                   and Vig says "So be it." Some fans see
                                   this as the first Garbage track.

KMFDM         Light (CDS)          Trent did a remix "Light" called
                                   "Fat Back Dub".  The track is 7:29
                                   It was created at Pig studios, and
                                   released in 1994 on Wax Trax records.
                                   The serial number is TVT-8712-2.

                                   mentioned that (to paraphrase him)
                                   "most of the backing vocals on the

7.b)  Natural Born Killers
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the story goes, Oliver Stone heard Nine Inch Nail's "Something I Can
Never Have", and decied that someday, somehow, he would get Trent Reznor
to work on the soundtracks for one of his movies. When it came time to
do Natural Born Killers, Oliver Stone contacted Trent to see if he was
Trent was. Trent wrote the song "Burn" for the movie, as well as producing
the soundtrack itself. In the course of producing the soundtrack, he watched
the movie fifty times to get the full effect. The end result is an intricate
and mesmerizing collage of music and dialogue from the movie.

8.  Video Clips and Other Stuff
============================================================================

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.a)  The Videos
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order of release date:

        DOWN IN IT (There are two versions of this... a short one, and a
        long one that just basically has the same shots, for lack of a
        better word, stuttering...)

        HEAD LIKE A HOLE (It has been rumoured that there are 3 versions
        of this...)

        SIN (unreleased)

        PINION (the version in Broken movie is slightly different from the
        released version)

        WISH (there are edited and unedited MTV versions of this: the
        edited is sans the obscenity and little outro of the cage being
        stormed.  The Broken movie version has parts of the "snuff" film
        mixed in)

        LAST (Rumours abound... please see the note regarding the Broken
        movie)

        HELP ME I AM IN HELL (Again, please see the note on the Broken movie)

        HAPPINESS IN SLAVERY (i know this must have been released
        commercially at one point because it has shown up in the vaults of
        Much Music... please see the note on the Broken movie)

        GAVE UP (Unreleased... please refer to the note on the Broken movie)

        MARCH OF THE PIGS - Original (Not released...) this was directed
        by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson of Coil. It was supposed to be
        the first of Christopherson's series of four TDS videos, but that
        idea was terminated when this video was trashed.  Supposedly it
        contained images of rooms filled with meat breathing, there have
        also been rumours of Midgets[??].  Christopherson and John said in
        an interview [Boing Boing I think], that Trent trashed it because
        it would not have been releasable... and Trent is typically caught
        between what he and record company wants...

        MARCH OF THE PIGS (MTV version, shot by Christopherson after the
        original was abandoned)

        CLOSER (Both edited and un-edited versions are known to exist)

        BURN (Unedited and edited)

        HAPPINESS IN SLAVERY (a live from the Woodstock performance, good
        sound if I do say so myself, better than was available on PPV.
        This is available on the Woodstock video that was legally
        released)

        HURT (according to a person was involved in the filming of the
        tour: "'hurt' was indeed filmed in Omaha (February 13, 1995) with
        a smaller, 'controlled' crowd...merely for the ambience. it seems
        there could be a few visuals taken from the Dallas (February 11,
        1995) show......so....? the sound is definitely from Omaha, but
        the visuals could be a combination of both, meaning that some of
        what we shot in Omaha wasn't usable for some reason or another."
        
        THE PERFECT DRUG  This video was directed by Mark Romanek (who
        also did the video for "Closer"). It involves shots of Trent doing
        his best to look like the Devil: in hot tubs, standing
        dramatically in the wind, on top of a bear rug. It also has the
        same sort of imagery as the Closer video: women with hair
        apparently braided together, and a young looking victorian person
        all come into play. It is a very well done video.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.b)  The Broken Movie:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trent produced this short film with Peter 'Sleazy' Christoherson of COIL.
It was not released due to the gratutitous violence which it contains, but
it has somehow made its way into the hands of fans everywhere.  It was
distributed by a certain unmentionable Los Angeles record store for
awhile, and has since recieved wide distribution as a bootleg. It
contained a synthesized snuff film, which was likely created by
Christopherson.  Interspersed through out this film are the legally
released videos for the songs from Broken.  Also present are the videos
for Help Me I Am In Hell (which appears as a blank black screen), and a
video for Gave Up.  The latter depicts the killing coming to a climax, and
it containts shots of a television screen, on which Trent's face can be
seen, alternatively singing and hidding behind his hands.  A certain
individual posted to alt.music.nin, claiming he had a letterboxed version
which included videos for Last, and an actual video for help me i am in
hell. .  ..  However, the folks on amn angered this person, who then went
on to send all of the orders back.  So shall never know if he was truthful
or not. For an excellent essay regarding broken, that will dispel many of
the misconceptions, link to Broken Is Not Snuff, written by C-Ko Linde:

      http://democracy.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Nin/Discog/brokesay.html

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.c)  Additional Video Factoids
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reznor can be seen performing Suck
with Pigface members in the PIGFACE video Glitch

In the movie "The Light of Day," Trent can be seen performing a
synthesized version of Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways" with a fictional
group known as the Problems. He plays the synth and does backup vocals.

Trent can be seen in Lead Into Gold's video of "Faster Than Light" (Lead
to Gold is a side project of Ministry's Paul Barker). He is playing guitar
(although, apparently, not really on audio), and is wearing a plaid shirt
(gasp!). My source, WatersJH@aol.com, beleives that this video was filmed
the day after the HLAH video, which included Martin Atkins on drums.
Martin apparently invited Trent to tag along at the next shoot . The video
is on one of the "Black Box" compilations.

It was rumoured that a live video may be released documenting the TDS
tours.  Much of the footage comes from the shows in Dallas, Omaha, and New
Orleans near the end of the second tour.  (Corrections appreciated). I
have also heard that the secret club dates that occurred after the Outside
tour were taped... this leads to a suspicion that this footage will be
used in a live video.  It was originally intended that the film would be
finished 3 months after the TDS tour was completed... All i know is that
the video has been put on hold indefinitely, and right now it looks as
though its never going to com out, because Trent et al did not like how
the original live footage turned out.  Anyways, the director is Simon
Maxwell, who apparently has had previous dealings with NIN.

9.  Other Official NIN stuff
============================================================================

Digizine CD ROM
        The fall 1995 premier issue of Digizine came with a CD ROM
        containing a feature on Trent, including a bio, a discography,
        video .avi of hurt and closer, and sound clips from the albums.

Manufacturing Insanity

Deconstucting Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor

Open up and say ahhh...
    Pinion Video

Nine Inch Tales
    Tap Trent's head to hear his thoughts
        sound bites with text of interview
     Happiness In Slavery video

Aural fixations
    US discography with sound bits from selected songs

Storming the studio
    Interactive stuff (not active on the demo)

The end?
    Clip of the "Broken" video only about 10 seconds
    shows a guy stepping on a trap door with noose around his
    neck, he falls through and falls for a long time, then you
    see the rope snap and dust flies off it.  While he is dropping
    he has an evil grin on his face.

Goldmine Magazine
        The discography was used as a source of information for an article
        about NIN that appeared in the August 4, 1995 issue of this
        magazine.  I beleive that they virtually reprinted the whole
        thing.

Quake by ID Software
      Trent did the sound effects and created the music for this video game.
      The music is very mellow and ambient. One track starts out a lot like
      Pinion and then goes into windlike sounds with a slow bass keyboard
      melody. One track sounds like the TDS sound, quite harsh and fast.

      The Track Lengths are:

            1.   3:43  CD-ROM track (the game itself)
            2.   5:08  Music
            3.   2:26    "
            4.   8:20    "
            5.   6:06    "
            6.   7:24    "
            7.   8:39    "
            8.   5:36    "
            9.   6:29    "
            10.  3:32    "
            11.  5:16    "

10.  Remakes and Covers of Nine Inch Nails songs
============================================================================

*Gasp*  you mean somebody has dared to cover a nin song?

Artist       Release            Notes
======       =======            =====

Trixter      Terrible Lie       This two song single contains the remake of
                                the NIN song of the same title. (5:28) in
                                length, track 1.

Trixter      Undercovers        This album holds the same song as the above.
                                Track 3.
                                
Nine Inch    Closer to Hogs     This is a parody cover of "Closer to God"
Richards                        It is a 4 track single, consisting of the
                                3 mixes of the parody song CtH, as well as
                                one unrelated track.
                                This was released on Hi-Art/Shock Records.

Wierd Al     Bad Hair Day       Wierd Al included "Closer" in the
Yankovic                        "Alternative Polka".  An excerpt of
                                "Closer" appears in the song.  The music
                                is different than Trent's version (it is a
                                polka!), and the sound of a horn replaces
                                the word 'fuck'.

Devo         Supercop           Devo covered "Head Like a Hole" for
             Soundtrack         this 1996 movie.

Devo         Head Like A        This is the promo for Devo's cover of
             Hole (Promo)       this song, released to radio stations.

============================================================================
11.  Rumours and Needed Information
============================================================================

If you have any rumours or new information to add to this list, let me know.
   
Well, the promo for The Perfect Drug has been released, what about a single?
The Perfect Drug Versions is Halo 11. Promos for this have circulated
(including a 12" DJ only promo). It has 5 tracks, and is about 35 minutes
long. It looks the same as the radio promo release except that it is
titled 'NINE INCH NAILS "THE PERFECT DRUG" VERSIONS'. It is rumoured that
the UK Import version will feature the mix by Aphrodite (which was not on
the North American release). This rumour appears to be incorrect as the
import versions found thus far are exactly the same as the North American
version with the exception that they contain the original version of the
song as well.
          
Apparently, in the UK, Levis advertisements are running with music very
much like nine inch nails's running in the background. At the start of the
advertisement, a voice whispers "I am the voice inside your head", and the
advertisement features two chained men fleeing from an unknown persuer.
According to Ulf Lagercrantz (ulf@alex-trafikskola.se), the song used is
The Art of Self Destruction (Part One)".

As always, any information you have on upcoming releases would be
appreciated. Just to dispel the rumours, Halo 12 will not be entitled
Impossible Pain". This album name, and all other information surrounding
it, is part of a parody web page created by Blackrose. At this time, the
name of Halo 12 is not known, nor is there any real information available
on it, save that it is in the works.

For your information, the Fisted Boxed Set is not an official release.
That is why it is not listed in this discography. It contains the UK March
of the Pigs single, the UK Closer to God single the UK Fixed single. As
well, it contains three low quality buttons and a low quality t-shirt.
Definitely not worth your money.

Chris Vrenna has taken a leave of absence from Nine Inch Nails. Currently,
he is on the road with the Smashing Pumpkins in a 'technical advisory
capacity'. My personal line of thought is that since the Pumpkins have
recently lost their drummer, and are moving towards a more electronic
sound... why not hire Chris to work for them?

Trent Reznor, along with Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser, are starting
a band called tapeworm. the idea behind it is that Reznor will be more of
the singer/producer only, while Clouser and Lohner will write the music.
at the same time Reznor will still write songs for nin. see the february
1997 article in raygun mag.

And, if you're still waiting, it looks as though the long awaited live
video from the TDS tours is never going to surface. It is probably buried
in the basement of that funeral home that Trent bought.

Also, information regarding the various formats (ie, Vinyl) that the Halos
may have been released in would be appreciated.

Information on any non-nin work by Trent is always a good inclusion in his
document.

I would love to hear of anything else that you think should be included in
his discography. This document is only made valid by your input.

Please email your info to Alex, and you too will have your name added to
the following list.
