Then he discovered Marilyn Manson, who ruined goth.  Way to kill two once-vibrant musical subcultures!<br><br>Trent\'s been crying about record labels since back in his TVT days, when he cried about them not promoting his record even though you couldn\'t open a magazine or turn on 120 Minutes without seeing NIN.  That said, I actually don\'t mind his current business model--it\'s going to be established artists like Trent and Radiohead who define the record industry post-Napster--and I don\'t think he\'s claiming to be "indie" per se--he\'s just finally liberated from those record labels that were oh-so oppressive and never, ever beckoned to any of his ridiculous tantrums, and certainly never released truckloads of pointless remix CDs on his behalf.  The worst part was when Interscope dropped him because he became a fat drunk who couldn\'t deliver a new record on time...oh wait they didn\'t do that, never mind...<br><br>Which is to say, it\'s OK if he gives his music away, but he\'s lost the right to complain about ANYTHING.</div>\

Hmmmm. If you have a wealthy patron, then you can afford to take that tack. If you have serious dreams of making it in the business, then perhaps you could learn something from the ones who made it. Or not. Your choice. <br><br>Let me guess. As a little boy, you enjoyed hitting beehives with a baseball bat. Yeah, those NINers will be all  over you now. I hope you have plenty of hydrocortisone salve. <br><br>I am not a NIN fan. I listened to his last major label album. Once, out of curiosity. I found it mildly interesting, but nothing I\'d listen to twice. I don\'t have any beef with those who love or hate Trent. But if Trent is satisfying people, and they are forking out money for downloads or CDs or concert tickets, then I don\'t begrudge him a mansion. I won\'t contribute to the mansion renovation fund, personally. But he\'s giving people something they value enough to pay their hard earned money for. <br><br>If you are able to do the same, success may be yours. Or maybe you can build a niche of rabid fans sufficient to sustain your existence. I can\'t tell you how to do that. Maybe spend more time learning and writing great music, and less time poking beehives with sticks? It\'s a start.</div>\

Not saying VU was just another Cutting Crew, but Robbins\' point remains intact: Ministry and a fistful of other industrial bands blazed the trail and Reznor suburbi-fied the genre and raked up the trail of cash they left behind because they were too experimental.

One more: the whole CD "Never LEt Me Down."

Now you are whining because someone else made decisions that brought them success. At least when Reznor whines WE get something out of it like free music or encouragement to steal it.<br>I also find it funny that of all the artists who are leaving their major label contracts you pick an artist who is easy to take shoots at.

That\'s not a bad thing, per se, but the comments -- and man, did this post generate some funny comments -- about image obsession make perfect sense. <br><br>I wish you had gone at Trent from a different angle, namely the one about the well-adjusted, phenomenally successful 40-something guy who still makes records about how messed up his life is and how angry he is about the way people treat him. What nonsense. Time to let the adolescent angst go, Trent. Life is not that bad, and your life in particular is definitely not that bad. <br><br>(opens umbrella, prepares for shit storm)</div>\

I\'m not saying it\'s bad, it\'s just not my cup of tea.

I don\'t give a crap about NIN, but presumably Trent Reznor has made enough money that he doesn\'t have to work anymore.  But he\'s continuing to record because he LIKES to.  People want to hear it because they LIKE it.  So what if he gives it away?  Does his free music cut into the indie album sales?  Is the listener not buying indie albums because they are getting too full on free Reznor?  Who knows, maybe that is the case.  But even still, the indie artist has no right to complain.  <br><br>You can\'t make a living on music?  Welcome to the club.  I play in a band, too (and all-instrumental band) and we have a CD and a website and we play tons crappy gigs where no one shows up...and we all work full time.  We\'re in the band because we LOVE TO PLAY MUSIC.  There\'s no glory in suffering for your art.  If you want to go for it, by all means, go for it.  But do it because you LOVE to do it, and don\'t complain about Trent Reznor or anybody else doing what they want, too.</div>\

Funny that Killing Joke would later try to jump on the very bandwagon they had inspired.  Of course, these days, I prefer new KJ to new Ministry, by far.</div>\

Year Zero (which you\'ve clearly never listened to) had an extensive marketing campaign that was headed up by Mr. Reznor. He also started the <a href="http://remix.nin.com" rel="nofollow">remix.nin.com</a> on his own accord and when the record company at the last minute decide not to back it, he did it himself. if that\'s not indie, i don\'t know what is. <br><br>Its also very manipulative to claim you respect Trent\'s work when the entire post is completely disrespectful. <br><br>oh and i\'m so sure you didn\'t delete the comments. someone else must\'ve deleted those nasty comments about how your music is subpar. since those are gone, i\'ll go ahead and restate: trent\'s never claimed to be indie, just independent of a record label.</div>\

There is truth in that he is now independent but has had the backing of labels for a long period of time, and as such will have the exposure created by said support. <br><br>However, the way you spin your point is fairly ridiculous. I have not read or heard a single interview where he has embraced the \'indie\' culture you are mentioning. This doesn\'t make him any less independent, just not a member of what you, and likely many others, misconstrue as \'indie\'. There are many independent artists out there and many of them with differing histories, income, and monetary investment. Fortunately for TR, and the NIN stakeholders, support has been plenty previous to his decision to be independent.<br><br>Secondly, you seem to proliferate some kind of idea that TR\'s music is somewhat prepackaged for the masses. Having listened to some of your tracks, which is clearly a goal of your post, makes me think do not have a clue about what you speak of. Have another listen to your own music before you make terrible accusations.</div>\

I would also like to comment on your indie hang up, do you really think Reznor would\'ve gone Indie straight out of the shoot, been poor and stolen zucchinis from a farmers garden like you wanted him to be?  Hell no, because he has a brain, appareantly unlike you.  You, see what he\'s doing is brilliant.  He is taking all that money from the record companies and using it against them, ( which you did comment on, but you can\'t see the forest through the trees).  He\'s being loyal to his fans, giving us free albums, encouraging us to "steal" his music.  He\'s a business man.  Have you ever  hear of the term music BUSINESS, yeah...it\'s right there in the title.  I know your so green with envy you can\'t see straight, but maybe instead of bashing Trent, you should take a few hints since no body really knows who the hell you are except for being some whore who bashes people with actual talent for a publicity stunt (bad business move).  Oh, and by the way I listened to  your song "the other shoe", exactly how many times did you listen to "jessie\'s girl" by Rick Springfield before wrting that piece of shit.  You make musicians like Yoko Ono sound as good as her late husband (he was a beatle by the way, you don\'t seem to research these things much so I thought I\'d help out) and shove those "two ships" up your ass while you\'re at it.</div>\

Or his car not flashy enough? Had he complained about those things instead of his personal issues then maybe you could sit there and say he is a whiny little brat, but seriously, all you did was make yourself sound like a little bitch complaining because someone who creates music you dislike, made it and you didn\'t and probably never will (yes, I listened to your tracks and now my ears bleed).<br><br>Had your argument been more constructive and less of a whine then maybe I\'d have agreed on a few points.</div>\

So yeah, you\'re the stereotypical Indie kid.<br><br>Reznor lived in Pennsylvania with his grandma when he was a kid, he wasn\'t some trust-fund asshole fated to a life of financial success. He made his own success. So I find it a contradiction that you whine about money like a little bitch, and meanwhile say the true artist is required to be poor. It really shows where your heart is. <br><br>I agree, I\'m not really a fan of his earlier stuff either, it\'s too poppy and repetitive for my taste.

That is what is so great about computer technology and recording, it\'s made it affordable for anybody to record professional sounding music. It\'s not just about the money though and that is why you are missing the point. Most people who are into the indie scene do it for the love of music and to fight against The Man.( record labels).

What irks me is you, this self proclaimed indie guy, are trying to ride the coattails of hating on big rock stars to make it big yourself.  You bitch that TR has millions of dollars and has things and people only one could dream of.  But isn\'t that, ultimately, what you\'re trying to attain?  My suggestion to you, my friend, is to watch the man and take some damn notes.  TR went from recording \'Pretty Hate Machine\' after working as a janitor in a recording studio to living the American dream.  But, if you\'re going to sit there and tell me that making shitty music and bashing important people is your American dream then keep it up.  Great Job!</div>\
