Hot Group Nine Inch Nails In Concert
rowena on Mar 30th 2009
Nine Inch Nails is considered a hot group, though Trent Reznor has been the only permanent member. The introduction of Reznor to the music world was a turning point for industrial music, making it easier to listen to and understand. Trent is not only a singer - he also plays numerous instruments and has taken on the role of producer. As Nirvana hit the music scene in the 1990s, NIN established a large new fanbase with alternative rockers, and Reznor became a sex symbol.
Trent Reznor was born in Pennsylvania in 1965 and raised mainly by his grandparents, as his parents were divorced when he was only five. At school he was diverse in his talents as he learned to play the piano, tenor sax and tuba, as well as performing in school musicals. He eventually became a die-hard Kiss fan and decided to pursue music and computers at Allegheny College. After a year’s time he wanted to pursue music on a full time basis and moved to Ohio with his friend Chris Vrenna. He became interested in underground as well as industrial music, and at nineteen he joined a band called Innocent, which released Livin’ In the Streets. He then began working at a keyboard store and at the Right Track Studio as a janitor. He later became the studio engineer and worked with different computer applications to work on his own music while he wasn’t on the clock.

Nine Inch Nails (NIN) is an industrial rock, alternative rock, industrial metal act, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Trent Reznor is the main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist. He is the only official member of Nine Inch Nails and remains solely responsible for its direction. NIN’s music straddles a wide range of genres, while retaining a characteristic sound using electronic instruments and processing. After recording a new album, Reznor usually assembles a live band to perform with him; this live component is a separate entity from Nine Inch Nails in the recording studio. On stage, NIN often employs spectacular visual elements to accompany its performances, which frequently culminate with the band destroying their instruments. In 2004, Rolling Stone placed Nine Inch Nails at 94 on their list of the 100 greatest rock artists of all time
