You should follow this video up with the song Find My Way by NIN as well, which was made roughly 25 years after Terrible Lie. It would make for a great companion piece to this video because both songs are tangentially related, with Find My Way being a reflection on who he used to be. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e5qHt86Co7C6itY.html

In 1994, I was 13 and I gave my friend "The Downward Spiral" for his birthday. His family was very religious and his mother immediately read the lyrics. They were very upset with me and confronted me with anger and dismay. They didn't understand how I could think this was an okay, and how my parents would buy this for me to give as a gift. To me the lyrics meant nothing and I never thought twice about them. When I got older, told this story to some friends, and we all I realized how bad the lyrics would come across to a deeply religious person. They were so angry. Still, it is one of the best albums ever made.

I respect the passion and your wants to teach and analyze one of mankind's most influential forms of expression, music. Also NIN is my favorite band of all time, so thank you especially for that too!

Yes I love how they both don't belittle others beliefs and feelings that may be different than theirs! I myself was raised Catholic and even went through school till hs. My feelings and beliefs have changed drastically mainly because of how hipocritical alot of christians are. Especially the ones that act and let people think they are so religious and pious. Money amongst many different religions is also another! I feel in a way I'm mjk in reverse as far as beliefs go very religious first and then angrily not almost! Not sure how to really explain what I mean? I think I'm agnostic really? Especially when you look at how most religions really have the same major outline as if was created to control the masses by fear in a way. I just really enjoy how they compare and then explain what and why they may believe differently without acting as if they are better and they are terrible people. Early tool and even APC had MJK expressing his anger directly at God for how his mother was made to live incompacitated for most of her life and no matter how bad she had it she didn't waiver on her beliefs.

Seconding The Reflecting God.

I just showed someone this reaction based on the fact that we both share a love of Nine Inch Nails. She and I also differ fundamentally in our faith, where she could be considered a pagan or agnostic and I'm as a spiritual christian (catholic-born). Although knowing the reaction I would get is less-than-loving, I would like to share what she said just to give some context, coming from someone that doesn't share the same thought pattern as me: in so many words, she thinks you may have missed the point. In her view, the Terrible Lie isn't generally the quid-pro-quo relationship that "if I am good then I must be given something", the Terrible Lie is putting 'too much' faith in an institution that doesn't give anything back-- that it's a crisis-of-faith that arises when someone has doubts that their best-laid foundation has been shaken and has nothing else to fall back on than to come crawling back to their church and surround themselves with people that support their victim complex. The "Lie" isn't in the fundamental teachings of the church or the bible, it's in the institution. She commended your willingness to believe that it was a metaphor for something, but did not think you applied the metaphorical lens in the correct way. It was a metaphor, not for love and not for drugs, but the nothingness that someone feels when they're left without any answers and are FORCED to come back to something that they don't believe in because they weren't given the chance to develop their own moral compass or coping mechanisms for the world being as fear-inspiring as it is. They've lost all their life's meaning because the only thing they've put any effort into is their faith, kind of like if you bet all of your money on one horse in a race. It's the culture of "believe in Him and nothing else, not even yourself" that is the Lie. The supposed character in the song (Trent or someone nameless) eventually doesn't have a choice but to throw up their hands and say "I'm afraid, and I'm afraid of the hopeless alternative if this is how the world really is, and I don't know how to express that in a healthy way, so all I can do is just go back to church". An example she gave was women who save themselves for marriage, who are told by everyone that they should and it is the Godly thing to do, and during their wedding night they start to panic because nobody has actually taught them or told them how to behave during their honeymoon and still think they're disappointing their savior because they're simply unprepared for what sex calls for, then are traumatized by the whole ordeal for years to come afterwards. This is probably pretty late in the game because this is like seven months later, but I figure that you're one of those folks that likes to read comments, so I'll leave this one here.

I've been hoping for a NIN reaction! So pumped for this, definitely do another one! See a lot of people recommending "Heresey" I agree 100% that it would be a solid song. The lyric content from Trent Reznor is something to dive into. BUT as a recommendation for another band I would love to see somehing from Norma Jean.

He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see He tries to tell me what I put inside of me He got the answers to ease my curiosity He dreamed up a god and called it Christianity. First verse, the rest gets very deep. Please review "Heresy". Also keep in mind Trent was very honest about his feeling and issues at the time. He is a different man now, however nothing can take away his musical genius writing, producing and not being afraid to speak his mind about religion, or his questions about religion. Also, be prepared, as the remark that you were expecting a more heavy sound will be fulfilled, in a deep and dark way. You will hear his voice a bit muffled as he was at the time shy of the words he was saying, but sang them anyway. Off topic, when he wrote "hurt" he was one step away of suicide, and writing that song helped him through it. And to answer your question if he was on drugs during that time, yes and heavily. You can read some David bowy interviews when he collaborated with Trent back in the day. Trent is probably the most interesting and inspiring artist I've ever known, even if today he regrets his past. That song writing was the best I've ever come across from any artist. Another side note, Trent played every instrument on the pretty hate machine album, apart from drums, which was a drum box. Wrote, produced and played every instrument, all while being torn inside, and this was his first album. My all time best album. By far. Oh, and and 31 years later, the lyrics are still VERY relevant to what is going on in this world. Thank you very much for this video.

No real Christian would be able to listen through that crap. There are limits.

I would like to start by saying how happy I am you guys are back and covering material I not only love/have loved for years, but also so openly. Having grown up throughout NIN start and run, I've always admired how it's all actually just Trent Reznor and his musical brilliance and all his inner battles thru the decades with random band members he hires for live shows. Pretty Hate Machine is one of my personal favorite albums of theirs/his. I had to sneak listen to them growing up as my parents caught wind of Trents utter/open resentment of God/Christianity and his firm atheist/nihilist words/beliefs thru the years. But I've always love his music and was very excited to see you guys cover this one as well. I thoroughly enjoy your open dialogue on the wide array of genre/bands you guys do. Would love to see some of the darker or alleged to be darker titles from some bands and to get your take on some of the newer Christian rock bands like Demon Hunters 'God Forsaken'. Even titles from Manson, Danzig, Avenged Sevenfold etc. I was surprised to see you cover Ghost's Square Hammer the other day too. Being that they/their gimmick anyway is openly 'satanic'. I liked how you stayed relative and open about the context at hand instead of judging them based on that alone.

Love you channel Rob. Best wishes for u and your family.

Should of been "Heresy" by NIN so we could of watched your jaw hit the ground when you heard the lyrics

Another "Industrial" group from the 1980s that was "heavy" in their own certain way is/was Front 242. Check 'em out!

@@archer60x43 Hey, sorry for the much belated acknowledgement of your comment and my reply. All right! Awesome! Another Front 242 fan! Glad to meet you!

I'm a Christian, a 55-yr-old grandma, and I love metal. I love a wide variety of genre, but metal has a special place in my heart. I love your videos, and how you break down the lyrics. God bless, and keep em' coming!

I lived this song. What's important to note is that Trent Reznor wrote this song coming out of his teens and early twenties. The sense of betrayal is the realization, especially if you grew up in a religious household, that your parents and other authority figures were not honest with you. Maybe they were misled, too. But the version of religion we're taught is rarely as potent or authentic as the one we end up finding for ourselves.

"great keyboard solo" lol This is one of my favorite songs. You can feel the emotion in it.

Okay yeah since you mentioned the “prosperity gospel” You really need to analyze the lyrics for head like a hole. I have known several people that left the church and turned away because the bought into that and were left empty handed.

Yeah, that’s why I couldn’t understand why the good pastor kept going back to the wealth thing. Gage (forgive the spelling if I’m off) was spot-on in picking up on that biting sarcasm. “Head like a hole” is a patently anti-capitalist critique and would confirm that “terrible lie” is not about wealth or any other temporal desire. I think this song is more about an interior struggle than a material one; trying to make sense out of the senseless (can this world really be as sad as it seems?), etc.

I would still posit HLAH is not about religion. It's about human greed.

Rod Jonse oh yes, undoubtedly! I was just saying that HLAH (its themes: a god/money or money *as* god, as the object of adoration) makes it less likely that Trent’s singing about lost wealth or opportunity in “terrible lie”. I think the latter song is much more about internal struggle and coming to terms with the world as it is, age old concept.

s staners ooo, great song! You should suggest that one to Robert. Would make for interesting discussion. Definitely touches on that prosperity gospel notion. RIP Chris Cornell.

React to “The Sinner” by Memphis May Fire. MMF is a Christian band from U.S.

This is the 2nd song of an album. The first song, Head Like A Hole, sets it up. He repeats "God Money" over and over again. Pretty Hate Machine can be interpreted many ways but overall it's a break-up/loss of faith story. NIN didn't really establish the sound they are famous for until The Downward Spiral in '94. If you want to go really deep with it, The Becoming or Underneath It All. If you want to hear how far Trent has continued to explore themes of faith, The Good Solider or Find My Way.

Great conversation guys!👍

You guys should check out NIN- God Break Down the Door it's off their newest release

I'll be real I've been hoping you would do a NIN song for a long time aaand i was very scared to watch this video lol. This is one of my favorite nine inch nails songs and it is very emotionally connected to me. Their genre is more industrial rock than metal, but the song Last from the EP broken is has more metal elements in my opinion but there isnt much to debate on that song in the way of religion.

"That's a good truth... instead of a terrible lie." Legit laughed out loud. 👍

It’s extremely good to see you again!

React to Heresy by NIN...you will have a lot to talk about that song in a "biblical perspective"

Honestly Robert, I've realty REALLY been struggling spiritually. When you said "Jesus saves" and explained that it is from the wrath of God, a MASSIVE amount of weight lifted off of me. An insane sense of relief and I'm really glad I got to hear that. Thank you so much. God bless. 🙏 Edit: I honestly cannot remember the last time I opened my Bible. I did tonight and guess what I stumbled across? Isaiah 1:18 Once again, thank you so much. I'm going to ignore any hate comments I might get, because I commented this, because I hope you get to see it and know how thankful I am. Keep doing what you're doing.

Also, can't say I'm religious guy myself but I agree with that other dude. The videos rob and Guage do are exactly what people need now. For the simple fact of creating dialogue outside your affirmation bubble, which is apparently impossible for the majority of youtube. Just because something doesn't agree with you 100% doesn't mean it needs to just not exist. People are limiting themselves so much and it's really inspiring to see these 2 guys acknowledge these things exist, give it the fair chance of an objective listen, and add their own perspective. So for that same reason it's cool of you to put yourself out there and say what you mean

I agree with Anthony the reason these vids are so valuable is because they get the gospel out to those that wouldn't normally be exposed to it. And because people often get their worldview from the musicians and artists they love. Pastor Rob corrects the false views we get from our influences

Thanks for posting listening to the song I've felt a good chunk of the lyrics in feeling into some stuff I've been dealing with, and it was good to hear the analysis

I love your channel. I've been a born again Christian most of my life, strayed for a few years but came back to the faith a few years ago. Im a guitarist and metal head of twenty some years, so your channel really speaks to me. I love the demon hunter videos as Im a huge fan of the band. I used to love System Of A down and would LOVE it if you guys did one of there videos. Aerials or Spiders would be awesome. God bless your ministry. Jesus is Lord!!!

Definitely explore the rest of the immense NIN discography. Prolific and amazing evolution of their music. Trent did this entire album by himself essentially locked in an apartment with a few people sending him samples and helping with mixing later... He's a badass.

Listen to Heresy by NIN. That will be a wild discussion!!!! Great video as always Gentlemen! Love the channel! Keep it up!

You guys need to dissect the NIN song Heresy.

"we'll get to that a little bit more" *great, can't wait.*

I'm loving Guage's input, you're a solid wingman Guage. A good 'everyman' character. The guy who clarifies for the folks at home. Keep the vids coming and God bless

Perhaps 'Heresy' would be a great song for discussion

I would recommend Pornography by The Cure. Either that or Faith.

Finally got to watch. Good as usual. Jesus loves us. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

I’ve loved NIN since I fist heard them/ him in 1991. Huge fan of Trent, his music and talent. This song was written in the very late 80’s.

That is what great great songwriters do: make the lyrics that way that you can apply it to your situation. In thiscase whether it is directed at god, an ex, a friend, parents... Trent and Maynard are masters in this and that is why they havean overlapping fanbase according to my humble opinion

Hey! I found this because of the NIN song, love what you're doing. Would love to see you guys do Heresy. Just fyi some of the stuff you said scares me too, the idea that this earth is a waystation (and therefore somewhat disposable) and that our citizenship isn't here feels misplaced. But that's me. Anyways! Thanks for putting your stuff out there! You guys seem cool.

First I'd like to say I loved that you were into the Music and grooving. You came across as a fun open guy which is pretty cool. NIN was always more Industrial than Industrial Metal. It's all down to one guy Trent Reznor. He did everything himself and usually does but has a band for live shows. Trent/NIN like myself has struggled with depression and been through many issues in his life, has battled drug addiction. Some of us go through such dark times that we continue to fight through and feel we are fighting alone. We can often love but hate someone or something. You spoke well, you weren't dismissive of the feelings behind the song which is great. I am more an agnostic myself and was hesitant to click when this came up in recommendations but honestly I really enjoyed your reaction as well as your perspective.

Well....Nine Inch Nails "Heresy" if we wanna stay in the topic of faith.

I really want to see you react to Muse - Exogenesis part 1,2 and 3.

Thank you so much for addressing this. The church has failed the people by telling them that getting saved will fix everything in your life. I ran from God for years because that was the theology instilled in me. I watched my dad be miserable and angry 6 days a week, but act like life was perfect on Sunday mornings because it was expected of him. A relationship with God isn’t an immediate fix-all. It’s more like farming. It takes time, effort and patience to see the harvest.

I’ve always thought of this song in a general was about a loss of innocence. A loss that could apply on many levels. That loss could be anything, from losing the myth of the tooth fairy to losing religious faith. For me this song has been a comfort in knowing I wasn’t the only one who felt the loss of belief so very hard. But that belief could be anything someone clings to. It could be religion, family, a lover, career. It’s more about mourning the loss of that “thing”. Being in the moment of grief. Knowing someone else has felt your pain can be very comforting.

React to Behemoth - Bartzabel

NIN & AIC were the soundtrack to my 20s & spoke to me like few other bands...a very dark time in my life but they made me feel not so alone in my struggles...I was a senior in high school when this song came out....great reactions guys
