Music Is My Weapon

My Love for Nine Inch Nails started at the ripe age of eleven. I can remember how every cell in my body stood on end in anticipation as Pinion built up and progressed. This song, by Nine Inch Nails, started my appreciation for music. Any music I have listened to and enjoyed, is because Nine Inch Nails awoke me to the beauty of music.

Nine Inch Nails is a "One man Band." Trent Reznor, the man behind the music, records and compiles his records himself by overlaying tracks. This makes him one of the most talented, unique musicians out there. His driving beats and empowering lyrics always capture my attention as if I were a first time listener. Additionally, anyone can relate to his music: Life, Love, Heart Break -- and more recently -- politics are his messages. His music varies from pop-rock to instrumental to hard rock. He covers all basis and has grown with the industry; I feel like I've accompanied Trent through this journey. Trent Reznor is one of the very few musicians that can really capture a moment and share it with a large number of people and convey exactly where he has been, and how he feels. I saw Nine Inch Nails along with Queens of the Stone Age and Death From 1979, At Phillips Arena in Atlanta. I was impressed with the NIN's use of powerful visuals and stage presence. He really made me feel like I was the only person in the Room. I walked walked away from that concert a changed person.

Trent Reznor started off writing, playing and recording all of his music him self in 1988.Trent Reznor made his break in the music world in 1989 with "pretty Hate Machine", with his Industrial electronic beats,and enchanting lyrics as a focal point,Trent Reznor made his mark on the world. In 1992 Trent Reznor released "Broken" on Nothing records label, this record is considerably Darker and one of My Favorites. In 1994 "the Downward Spiral" was recorded in the Sharon Tate House and released to the world. In my experience with speaking to people this is his most widely known album due to the single "Closer". "The Fragile" was released in 1999, Which people eagerly anticipated. In 2002 Trent released a Live Album "all that could have been", which is an excellent collection of great songs he has done over his years of writing and producing music. Trent Reznors latest album "With Teeth", was released in 2005 and definantly has a style of its own.
