Trent wrote and composed the whole soundtrack to the 1996 video game Quake. In the game, on the side of the ammo crates for the nail-gun, the "NIN" Nine Inch Nails logo can be seen. |
|
The Nine Inch Nails logo was inspired by the album cover for "Remain in Light", by Talking Heads. The 'A's in TALKING HEADS were inverted, which inspired the reversed N for NIN. |
|
The NIN song Starfuckers, Inc. is a parody of Trent's friend and protégé, Marilyn Manson. |
|
NIN released the source files for The Hand That Feeds, in Garageband format, to allow fans to remix it. |
|
Trent lent his vocal talents to a Tori Amos song called 'Past The Mission' off of her album Under The Pink. He provides the background vocals for the track. |
|
There are NIN tracks heard in the movie "The Fan" starring Wesley Snipes and Whitney Houston, that are not listed on the soundtrack. They include a remix of 'Closer', and The Art Of Self Destruction I & II. |
|
David Bowie appears on "The Art of Self Destruction" at 4:31, repeating the line "Falls wanking to the floor". |
|
Trent has John Lennon's mellotron, which he used on 'Broken', 'The Fragile', and Marilyn Manson's third full-length album 'Antichrist Superstar'. |
|
After Trent abandoned the Exotic Birds, he found a job at Bart Koster's 'Right Track' recording studio, where he began to work out demos for a solo project, adopting the name Nine Inch Nails. |
|
Trent's nickname is Stimpy. |
|
Trent has two dogs, a Labrador that he calls Ethyl, and a Weirmaraner named Daisy May. |
