Some people refuse to accept that others escape the spiral and keep growing, changing, becoming. All I know is I'm proud of who you are and will always be listening, waiting for more. Love and respect

those fans that travel to see you, and then talk shit on-line. You can't understand them, they are mentally ill. Or really really really obsessed and delusional. No use in listening. Tune-em out ha. Have a great rest of the tour. Still wish I could have seen Only Time live, oh well, can't win them all...

Trent,
I never got into all the online shit, like facebook or myspace. I joined twitter after seeing it on your web site. I thought it would be cool maybe seeing more of the real you. That part was cool. The part I couldn't believe was all the bullshit from all the fucked up people that I was kind of shocked even existed. I'm not a baby, and I know the world is not always pretty. I also know now that an unbelievable number of humans live without actual humanity. Thanks for putting yourself out there. Sorry for the cocksuckers that burned you for it. Please try and remember the cool people you have got to hear from during this experiment. I know the bad always seem to be more memorable, but it's undo attention that they wanted and forced from you. Your real fans should be the ones worth remembering. I am very happy for you and Mariqueen, congratulations! We will miss you. Don't go too far.

trent,

thanks for being so honest all the time.

i am an emt and suicide is the most difficult thing to deal with that i have seen. before i got clean, i made a pretty direct attempt to off myself. i cut my wrist in a jail cell in northampton, ma. i couldn't see a way through.

i listened to the fragile over and over at the same time i was in rehab over and over. i remember writing "the way out is through" on a piece of paper and taping it to my wall there in the hospital. (before i read a servant to servants, but the message is just as profound from either source). those days were a darkness that didn't seem like it could end.

and here we both are. completely different people.

"Even winter- the hardest season, the most implacable- dreams, as February creeps on, of the flame that will presently melt it away. Everything tires with time, and starts to seek some opposition, to save it from itself."

my point is that although i'm sure you are frustrated, i feel like i should point out that everything changes. "this too shall pass."

bitchery can be cured or eroded by the experience and wisdom that comes naturally with age. suicide is not the answer for young people who are for one reason or another infatuated with you and already most likely feel crushed by the same desperate loneliness that we miraculously now find ourselves on the other side of.

respectfully,
@ryan_shea

There're some reasons make TR is so stubbornness.
Only one thing we could is waiting what will change TR to relax with us.

Now TR is in Final-Tour.
Let TR focusing on his performances.

After big recently tragedy ,
Personally, I just want TR doing great LIVE for people supporting TR.

the nine inch nails experience has become more and more open source as time goes by. more so than not, it's been a privilege to be able to have a peek further and further into it all. i'll say this though: I have always respected the anonymity factor in TR's career. Being able to infer from the music alone and extrapolate your own interpretations is what makes great music so special. though i have a serious distaste for social networking websites and the irreversible damage they and most forms of mobile technology have done to the REAL social behaviors of people and how we responsibly and appropriately communicate with each other, it has been pretty cool to see the positive implications in them put to use in a medium that is going through a huge identity crisis. also, having the privilege to differentiate reality from fantasy, it's been very cool to see tr/nin open up a bit and see a behind the scenes side to it all, not to mention the chance to be involved with the EDLC/VIP package experience. This is the most interesting time for nine inch nails.. a great big mix bag rollercoaster ride of nostalgia, extreme positive experience, and as mentioned, severe negativity. Trent, if you read this, thanks for everything. I applaud your choice to re-shut the digital/social window that's done the good that it's done to exclude the bullshit. Read an issue or two of Adbusters, while you're at it. AND THANKS FOR SASQUATCH!

Looks like the Metal Sludge contingency has discover Twitter! Finally! For those of you that don't know what this is, please let me explain. Metal Sludge is the home of the absolutely worst people I've ever come across. It's populated mainly by unattractive plump females who publicly fantasize about having sex with guys in bands. Kind of like a role-playing game where people NOBODY will fuck make up stories about their incredible sexual encounters with people they WISH they could fuck. It would be kind of funny in a sad and pathetic way except the fun doesn't stop there - hate and good old-fashioned outright blatant racism are also encouraged to spice things up and remind you how truly ugly these scourges are. TRULY ugly on the inside (the outside is obvious).
Cutter's tip for my friends there: remember to cut along the length of vein, not across. Bigger payoff.
So when you see the new accounts that pop up daily on Twitter spewing exactly the kind of thing I just discussed, usually from picture-less creatively named profiles, spewing hate at Mariqueen and I, take a moment to visualize the sad couple people behind them.

thank you

I'm not much of a blogger (in fact this is the first time I've posted anything anywhere on the internet)but over the past year or so I have become shamlessly addicted to TR's twitter page and the NIN posts. I thought I would break my non-posting rule because I just wanted to say a few things.

First of all thanks TR for a s**t load of great sounds over the years. I hope you don't stop making noise anytime soon.

Second, I've been sitting back with great satisfaction over the past few years as seemingly dim-witted record companies have s**t themselves as the internet and new music production technologies have allowed ARTISTS to take control of their own work. Thanks TR for leading the charge, or at least participating in the demise of the old-way - it has been great fun to watch.

As part of this process, when the viel started to lift on the mythical Mr Reznor (through blogging, connecting with fans etc) I was intrigued to see how it would pan out. I figured that he was likely to destroy my idolised perception of him (which he did - for the better) and that he was being very generous/fearless in making himself publicy available for praise/ridicule (I don't think I would have the balls to do it). So once again, thanks TR for taking the time/risk of letting your fans see a bit more about what NIN is about.

In the last few weeks as I've followed the increasingly frenetic blog-traffic about whether TR is a d**khead or not, I've been wondering how TR deals with it. It p**ses me off and it is not even about me! (Oh, and Fred whatever-your-name-is you really do appear to be a worthless sack of shit...)

So now it appears TR has decided to shield himself from those dissatisfied/bitter people who can find nothing better to do than bitch and whinge - fair enough. I fuckin loved NIN before TR started tweeting and I'll continue to love NIN now.

So TR - thanks for making NIN more real for all of us, enjoy life with Mariqueen and the greyhounds, and best of luck with future projects (I might even shell out a couple of bucks to hear/watch them!).

I dunno man. I can totally understand where you're coming from, and mostly agree with you.

However.

I am not plump, but my sister is. And she's been totally bummed out all day since she read your post.

She and I have both been staunch fans since the beginning. And as thankful as I am to you for providing a soundtrack for our lives, I think at least *I* am ready to peace out. I'm sure you can understand, considering how pissed off *you* are that people are insulting someone that you love.

Racism isn't the only form of rude, insensitive and ignorant behavior, yo.

I'm just sayin.

P.S. There has consistently been a lot of love for you in this forum to which you have said very little. Wish it was easier for you to respond to some of the positive feedback rather than concentrate on all of the noise.

I will admit I was a little disappointed when I read that the first time. But, if you read it closely, it is not used as a generalization. Its mearly a decriptor to point out the particular people he is referring to. Is it a poor choice of words, probably. But I don't believe the intent to generalize was there.

Granted he would really screwed if he were running for office. lol

Yeah, it may be a poor choice of words. I'll tell ya what though...if he would have said "unattractive Hispanic women" it really would not be open for this kind of interpretation, and everyone would be going "Holy shit". You can't call an asshole an unattractive plump woman without making a nice plump woman feel unattractive, and I do believe there is more to bigotry than just racism. So poor choice of words or not...maybe he should just think a little next time. Or not. Whatev.

Yep anyone would want to retreat with the amount of abuse that has been levelled. Sad but unfortunately a fact of the modern world.

To all the people who have taken the time to show their support and love on this forum it is a beautiful thing to see, how wonderful that so many of you will take the time to show that not only to TR but also to Q and to all of the band.

It really does show the beautiful side of the human spirit.

Q remember they are only jealous because you got him and they want him. Enjoy the good stuff and ignore the bad, never let anyone else affect the joy you have found with one another.

May NIN rock for many more years to come.

Its really a shame that people have to ruin something that could have been a long lasting way of communicating with your fans, though I will say I definitely saw it coming. I'm glad your getting married and your happy and so in love wouldn't wanna see one of my heroes any other way. Also though its somewhat depressing glad your taking time for yourself and not touring anymore you have to do what makes you happy. Don't ever let those obsessively crazy jealous assholes ever get you down they have no life and need to get back to earth and realize your never going to ever sleep with them or marry them. THEY ARE DELUSIONAL FUCKS. I'm kinda bitter (with them) cause I really loved hearing from you everyday and seeing what kind of person your really are and not to my suprise you seem totally awesome. I understand everything your doing and hope to see you one day again. =]

I'm french, and my level in english is so poOOOOor... but I think I understand what Trent try to say...

When your in Love, the simple fact of being fare away from the loved person is an abyss... you're feeling empty and cold. And it doesn't really matter who they're think about this relationship... for you it's the most important thing in the universe.

In France, we're know for our 'french lovers' and romantism... but it's not really true (lol). People are most preoccupated by their jobs, their lack of money to buy their useless stuffs... and only look their own ass.

Do you know about french "Hadopi" law ? Our gouvernment are truying to create a law which can put "web pirates" in jail really easily (without any jugement). When you are just suspected of 'piratie', they should cut your internet connection... even if it's another person who are using it, you can't reply or defend yourself... you're guilty.

What a shame for us... all the rest of the world think 'frenchies' are dump people, and french gouvernment full of embittered old men... and they're true.

Wow... reading this, and how I got here I, I don't remember. It is nice to see you are happy now, I am glad you was who you was when you was, if that makes sense. I went through a bad time in life, and your music helped my soul scream it outloud, and feel that other ppl in the world felt as I did at times, and I wasn't just a messed up freak all alone. But, we all need to evolve, and not really keeping up with you in the last few years, other than listening to music to take me back, it is good to see you have found happiness, I do mean that. I am now actually interested in checking out your new stuff, I mean the old stuff, some of it took me back to being carefree, but some of it also took me back to dark places in life I would rather not visit. Don't let the haters get to you, that's what they want, I mean to just sit and hate on someone behind a screen and keyboard is pathetic. They are enjoying they are getting a rise out of Trent Renzor, ya know? I was a die hard NIN fan in the day, and would be willing to fight anyone who trashed anything to do with, yes now I know it was a bit crazy, but all I had somedays was my NIN to get me through. The happier you are in your life, the more ppl sneak up behind you and throw stones. True fans, future, past and present will never judge you for being happy, sad, etc. I will end on the note of, Glad to read you are in love, it is beautiful, and a scry place to be. Proclaim it, but don't try to share too much, or ppl will try and destroy it. Love is a beautiful place, a private party, but you have so many always trying to crash your party. Just remember keep it a private party. Thanks for the memories, the therapy in your music, and good luck on all roads ahead!

it is horrible that you have had all that to put up with, but i have to say, to stereotype every 'plump unattractive' female fan in that vein, is a low blow.

i'm plump, unattractive, and it may come as a shock i do not fantasise about fucking any member of nin.

some of those loonies are thin attractive women too. i know.

Ther is not alot of people like you giving back what was so freely given to you. You are the opposite of greed and you get to keep what you have by giving it away. I watched you work your ass off in Toronto. I am SO GLAD yu arent the same TR from 94.. Im not the same chad k from 94 thank fk.. those burds that talk smack are alot like some graffiti writers... just doing it so you notice them. Not doing it because their sincere.

even tho trent may not read this, id like to say it anyways. people are dicks, but dont let those few people out there who have pouted because their little "love game" in their head with you isnt as fun when youre actually with a real person. the true fans, the ones that pay money to see you in concert and dont harass you on the internet are still here. we appreciate that you are a real person because, guess what, it makes your music more real too. in the end, it doesnt matter what anybody thinks of you or mariqueen together except you and mariqueen. it makes me sad to know that several douche bags have ruined it for the rest of us in terms of a more public trent reznor. i can only speak for myself, but i do hope that what you are looking to fill gets filled, and you have a happy lovely life with mariqueen...and you pay us TRUE fans a visit (in terms of not completely ending your career, not actually visiting us...that would be excessive) thank you for your contribution to society, and to my life individually...your music has meant more to me than letter could describe.

Just how can you connect with your fans on a real-world level when your fiance is acting in the opposite direction as you? If the general public in her eyes are mainly FAT obsessive slobs, then where does it put your marketing? If she is as mean as she plays it out to be then I as a fan question your honesty about your concerns on the needs of fans and musicians and leave you on the mantle to be questioned and by no means respected as a business man.



Sorry to real nin fans, but I lost all respect by seeing more than I needed to see!

I remember a story of a man who finds himself able to read minds, everyone's mind. At first he found his new ability magical and exciting in the much same way that I (used to) find a newly discovered intoxicant. The Man (and I) had to have more, but more never satisfied, and more never delivered on the promise it initially appeared to bring.

The Man found that not only could he read minds, he read all minds all of the time. He quickly found that a large part of what he heard was hurtful, disturbing and invariably altered his perception of the person that contained that mind for the worse. His discovery that there are things about every person he encountered-- things that he was better off not knowing, destroyed every chance he had for a relationship with anyone.

Appreciating being "in love" may be gratitude for being relieved of the burden of knowing too much. Wise lovers know the limits of honesty.

Trent, thanks for taking the velvet rope down. It was fun, but it's really better for all that you put it back where it belongs. While knowing more of the truth was what most of us thought we wanted, it turns out that it was really more than most of us needed.

Congrats on finding love--you've surprised us once again! Now (please and thank you) do the entire world a favor and resist the temptation to examine that love publicly with the intensity you bring to self examination. This may be another instance where knowing too much isn't good for us --and especially bad for you.

Thanks Trent,

The twitter experiment was grand. I enjoyed your efforts. It was frequently hilarious and genuinely warm experience to see more than just gig dates on a musicians twitter feed.

But you gotta do, what you gotta do. As ol' Friedrich Nietzsche said "One must be careful when fighting monsters to not become one" (maybe not exact words), and as soon as you pick up the sword you're pretty much lost. Best to step aside and let the self destructive self destruct.

I'm genuinely a little bummed about this. But hola!

All the best

You said it all, Trent. Every single thing I had been thinking about this whole ridiculous thing. I happen to be one the people who was intrigued by your real self being opened up on twitter. It made you seen more like a real person than a voice in my iPod and I always welcome that (made even more evident when I met you in person). So many people forget that celebrities are not that different from anyone else. How else do they think they can relate to your music?

It's shameful and sad that so many people seem to think that you owe them something just because they like your music. I'm happy with what you've given us all regardless of what you do in the future. I do happen to be a "plump female," but I'm a realistic one. I don't expect more than I deserve. And as to those people on the front row spewing hate once they get home, I don't get it either. What exactly do these so-called fans want from you? A key to your house, your number in their contacts list, and their head up your ass? I'll settle for a nice setlist at a great show... and you always deliver that anyway.

I am happy that you're a different person than you were in 1994. We've all grown up...did they expect you to stay the same? Oh, delusion. It's a shame that the nice fans won't get as much interaction because of the shitty, so-called ones, but I think the nice ones will understand.

I hope everything goes well with Mariqueen and that you guys are as happy as I am with the guy I've found. 543 5331775 612327! See you at Bonnaroo!

It's sad to see this happen. A few fucking assholes ruin it for everyone. I think that you were really onto something here with social networking and some of the good deeds that you've done through it. I hope you continue to push the NIN app for the iPhone and not let these lowlife jerkoffs influence what you want to do. Some people don't understand that musicians grow up and they can't be the same person that they were when they were younger. It is all apart of being an artist. As I loved The Downward Spiral, I have also grown up with your music and I'm not the same person I used to be. I wish you all the best for life and love.

I am sad to hear you're dropping off twitter, because I always did enjoy your tweets, but I sure as hell can't blame you!
Some of your fans however, are regular sort of people who like your music and manage to feel happy for you when you find a beautiful woman you want to spend your time with.

Best of luck with everything, you deserve to get back what you've given <3
