The look of total disbelief on Lex's face for the first minute of the song was priceless. Utterly priceless. I think this is what happens when someone who's never felt it runs into actual rage for the first time.

NIN is one Trent Reznor - he's a one man recording artist that was very influencial at the time. He was ahead of the game. The downward Spiral and the Wish EP were awesome. His first album was a lot more electronic and softer. NIN - Pretty Hate Machine was one of the first CD's i ever bought back in '89 when cassettes were declining haha.

I wish there was something real and something true and that they had used the official video for this reaction, it's among their best ones, this song has some of Tren'ts best lyrics so the lyric video is fine, but the official video is badass for an Scorpion's Rock You Like A Hurricane ripoff video (kind of joking, but it really is a ripoff, lol). This is also one of their best live songs, the live video on Closure is also great, but any live version of Wish is usually amazing. If they react to We're In This Together or to Into The Void or to The Perfect Drug, I hope they watch the official videos, which are really good too. And they need to react to Happiness in Slavery's official video, please, I guess it's not on youtube but it must still be available on Vimeo, they can just "censor" it like they do with many videos to avoid the copyright problems, but they have to react to that one, lol. Or they could also react to the Woodstock live version, which is great, but if they go the Woodstock route they could use Reptile instead, they need to do a react video for Reptile, album version or Woodstock live version, that's one of NIN's best songs. @bradandlex

Wish is from a mini album he did that was about his anger at the way his record company was treating him. Just some of the most aggressive, purposefully abrasive music ever. I love it.

Only song I know of that includes skull F and fist F in the lyrics. Unless I've been hearing it wrong for 30 years.? One of my NIN all time favorites.

No one ever suggests Ringfinger, probably one of my favorites from Pretty Hate Machine. Definitely a very experimental early song for Trent and worth a listen.

Trent Reznor's music comes on like an explosion of flavor: the first time you're shocked and numb, but after a bit you find yourself humming his riffs, and then you go back for a second dip. This time you can pick out some lyrics, and you start unraveling that his songs are all musical masterpieces; even his remixes, he is experimenting for later songs.

There *is* some sense and beauty in the chaos.

I recommend a Nine Inch Nails “Somewhat Damaged” live from Roskilde Music Festival in Denmark 2009. It’s a dominating performance of one of their biggest songs. Highly recommend that you review it. It shows how well they play live and how well they command a crowd. It’s pure intensity. It should be the top result if you search it on KZread. Keep up with the great content!

I’ve seen them 6 times live and want so much more. Love NIN so much. Oh by the way this song won a Grammy.

Trent wrote this E.P at a time when he was very pissed off. He was fighting with his crappy record label amongst other thing and needed an outlet which was broken. TVT Records were the label.

This song absolutely DESTROYS in concert. Saw medley of this and Mr Self Destruct in the 90's that blew my lil mind.

This video made my night. LEX watching as the song builds to the end....the BEST.

Besides being a monster in terms of song writing, what I love more is Trent HASN'T mellowed with age. I'm the same age as him and really respect that. I can't imagine having this much intensity for 30 years. NUTS!! One of the best ever!

I’ve never considered myself a huge NIN fan,I remember when they started getting big after the 1st Lollapalooza & I wasn’t too crazy about “Pretty Hate Machine” but this shit was right up my alley especially in 1992 (I turned 21 that year) I have never gotten tired of hearing this song....just the unfiltered anger,rage & disgust this track brings across that makes it timeless.....check out the hidden track from this ep it’s called “Physical” heavy shit man

This song takes me back. Havent listened to NIN in years. Still awesome.

More NIN please!! Last - off the same album is amazing.

You have to see them perform this live. I’ve seen them a few times (one being Woodstock 94) and it is insane.

I saw Linkin Park cover this in 2004 and it was fantastic. The rest of the concert had Korn, Snoop, and the used. Good show.

FINALLY! I have been waiting for Lex to hear this song. You have to see the live performance, possibly a Woodstock '94 stream, Cranberries to NIN. I am in the Woodstock video during "Wish". Nine Inch Nails is Trent Reznor and playing every instrument at this point but the live shows were great for my teenage angst and a little light S&M. 🤘🏽

One of my fav NIN songs, esp live. Trent is GENIUS LEVEL when it comes to production. So many layers!! The early stuff is super aggressive(mostly) but NIN evolves from album to album and still to this day, they're one of my favorite live acts hands down. This rabbit hole won't disappoint should you choose to go further down the downward spiral

"Nine Inch Nail of the Chalk Board." Touché!!

Just gotta listen to it more than once. Complex songs like this take more than once listen to experience if you're not expecting it.

You nailed it structured chaos

My favourite band, and my sons first live concert. He was 10 and has been a fan before and since.

I love this song. NIN always was and still is one of my favourite bands.

Love this track. One word: Aggressive.

Such a masterpiece of mayhem! Love this song!

God you picked a good one. This song still gets me going. It is one of the first songs that is still as powerful now as when I first heard it. The syncopation is like a revving engine at redline rpms.

Loved this album sooooooo much when it came out!

No matter how I feel, when a NIN song plays, I am in a better mood by the end of the song. Perhaps it is the full immersion you get with Trent's music but it's so very cathartic for me. I think Lex is closer to maybe feeling that vibe than poor Brad. Unrelated note: Brad, you're rocking a luxurious and beautiful beard and Lex you are so darn cute with your reactions. These reactions are always highly entertaining!

I highly suggest y’all watch the Woodstock 94 live recording of Wish, watching Robin shred is a sight to see. On another note…went to a house party mid 90’s, the Broken videos were playing in the background- everybody was transfixed.

Yes Get there one day! Nine Inch Nails is the greatest musical experience!

Broken is always forgotten about in the catalog. It was sandwiched between PHM and TDS. It did spawn Fixed though which is plain awesome.

This songs has one of the greatest breakdowns of all time towards the end.

Wow I can’t believe the songs you guys react to!!! Amazing! I’ll never forget. This was the first nine inch nails I heard on a disc man when I was 13 in 1993. This album is nuts. So is the remix of it that he did fixed

I saw Trent live, tickets from a friend, who knew I loved NIN and he couldn't attend. He gave them to me. MY FAVE artist, was a true musical experience. He is a GOAT.

I love how they’re just sitting there, trying desperately to rationalize what they’re experiencing. God I love NIN.

Treat is the master of layering sounds.. And this song LIVE is even better than the recorded version.. Great selection guys!! Do Happiness In Slavery next..

Wish won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1993 and Trent often joked that it would be the only time someone won a Grammy for singing the lyric “Fist F&CK”

One of my favorites

I feel like a LOT of NIN takes a few listens to fully appreciate it for most people. Trent is on another level when it comes to making music.

Good long-distance driving music, never fall asleep at the wheel.

Love seeing a song that lex finally doesn’t get when it’s so easy I respect you lex

Brad, "9 inch nails on a chalkboard", Lmao. Excellent quote!

And the joys of the moshpit. Absolute pleasure.

🔥🔥🔥 Classic Jam the reaction is hilarious

Pretty sure I blew up a pair of speakers playing this song back in my high school days

This is top tier NIN. Pure rage and chaos. So many layers and textures. I wore this out during my teenage years. Try "Happiness in Slavery" next.

I have some very fond memories of off-roading to this EP. 😁

Lmao I was singing and dancing to one of my favorite songs and you two got freaked out lmao! Write: I will listen to Wish on the chalk board lol!

As far as we're splitting hairs, I don't think many would agree that Manson is the epitome of the sub-genre. I think Nine Inch Nails and Ministry for sure are much closer to the ontological "center" of industrial metal than Manson, and probably Skinny Puppy as well. (Side note: it's weird knowing Skinny Puppy is a major origin of industrial metal, and to then think they might actually not be as near the 'center' as I initially though). If you only listen to the Antichrist Superstar album I could maybe see labeling him industrial metal, but I feel like whatever you want to label him should reflect the goth metal, glam metal, and shock rock roots that are usually just as prevalent or more.

He's one of those celebrities that I would love to buy a beer for....but would not necessarily want to sit and drink it with him... 🤔😁 (Edit: Of course I would drink it with him, but it would still be somehow frightning...LOL) Brad...Dude....I'm sorry you can't pick out the intricacies of NIN. It took me a bit to appreciate Trent's music back in the late 80's and early 90's, but keep with it, it is sooooo totally worth it 👍 Might I suggest "Happiness in Slavery" off of the same album or Sin off of "Pretty Hate Machine"? Also, "Starfuckers INC." with Marilyn Manson as a groupie in the video is an interesting song as well. Anyway, thanks for all the hard work :)
