Part II: The Downward Spiral, Woodstock ‘94, & the Rise of Chaos (1993-1997) Following the success of 1989's Pretty Hate Machine and 1992's Broken EP, Nine Inch Nails and its mastermind Trent Reznor entered 1993 ready to go to work on a full-length follow for Pretty Hate Machine. During the Lollapalooza tour and working on Broken through various studios around the U.S., Reznor was coming up with ideas for a different album that would be a departure everything he had done. Though he initially set to create a permanent home for NIN in New Orleans. Plans fell through as Reznor relocated to Los Angeles where in the summer of 1992, he found a home in the Bel Air area. What Reznor didn't know was that the home he would setup a recording studio and home for the next year-and-a-half was 10050 Cielo Drive. The house where in August of 1969, actress Sharon Tate and four friends were murdered by members of Charles Manson's family cult. Seeing the bloodstains of the home including the word "Pig", Reznor called the place Le Pig as his new recording studio where he finished tracks for Broken along with a video shoot for Gave Up that featured a new protégé of Reznor's from his newly-created Nothing Records label in a young vocalist named Brian Warner aka Marilyn Manson. In early 1993, Reznor began work on the new album with Flood serving as co-producer. Along with a team of engineers and programmers that included NIN associates like Chris Vrenna, Sean Beaven, Brian Pollock, and Charlie Clouser, the last of which would become a key collaborator of Reznor's for the next several years. Another engineer who was brought in to help mix the album is Alan Moulder. Moulder was a producer/engineer who in the early 90s was one of the prominent figures in the shoegaze music scene. He was also one of the individuals who had been involved in the 1991 masterpiece Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. Moulder's reputation for creating textures in electronic arrangements would make him a key collaborator in NIN for many years. With Reznor, Flood, and Moulder working on the new album, plans to get the project started was becoming troubling. Faced with a severe case of writer's block and depression, Reznor found himself dealing with the bosses at Interscope wanting a new album right away. Instead, Reznor wanted to take the time to work on the new record which was to be more ambitious than his previous work. During the early sessions for the record, some key departures from the NIN camp occurred when live guitarist Richard Patrick left NIN in order to work on his own projects with NIN programmer Brian Lisegang joining Patrick to form the post-industrial band Filter. Filling Patrick's void for guitar contributions was a Dallas-based musician from the industrial rock band Skrew in multi-instrumentalist Danny Lohner. Lohner's talent in playing guitars, bass, keyboards, and programming would make another key collaborator for Reznor in the coming years. Other people invited to the record was Andy Kubiszewski, a former bandmate of Reznor and Vrenna from the Exotic Birds who would later be in the industrial band Stabbing Westward that Vrenna helped developed. Also added were Jane's Addiction/Porno for Pyros drummer Stephen Perkins playing drums and loops on a track, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee providing moans on another, and on a few tracks, guitarist Adrian Belew. Belew was famous for his work with David Bowie in the late 70s along with Frank Zappa and King Crimson as he would later become a frequent collaborator of Reznor in the coming years. While Reznor struggled to work on the new album, he took on other projects to keep himself busy. Among these projects was the debut album for Marilyn Manson called Portrait of an American Family. Doing the record in studios in Los Angeles and Manson's home in Miami, the record featured a humorous take on industrial with elements of shock rock that would make Manson famous. The record managed to help Reznor deal with his writer's block while he got help from Chris Vrenna, Charlie Clouser, Sean Beaven, and an unknown musician from Marietta, Georgia named Robin Finck. Reznor would work on both Manson's album and his own during that time while he also took time off to contribute backing vocals for the song Past The Mission by Tori Amos for her sophomore album Under the Pink. Reznor and Amos befriended each other but the relationship was later tarnished due to Reznor's rumored involvement with Hole vocalist Courtney Love in late 1994. With the sessions for the new album getting more fruitful, it was clear that the new album was a departure from everything else Reznor had done. Even as his influences were becoming more evident than in previous albums. While Reznor had appreciated the influence of industrial music, Reznor also loved art rock. Notably the sprawling work of bands like Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Lou Reed, and Iggy Pop. He also loved the pop craftsmanship of bands like XTC and Prince where the influences of these acts were becoming very clear. Particularly David Bowie whose late 70s work with Brian Eno in Berlin for the trilogy of albums they did that broadened the sound of electronic music. The album that Reznor cited as an influence on the new record was 1977's Low whose record had a first of fragmented songs with no traditional structure and a second half filled with atmospheric instrumentals. The influence of Low had a profound impact on Reznor in making the new album as he also felt it was important to use technology and such against what he felt was a wave of traditional 70s-inspired rock. Especially in acts like Lenny Kravitz and Pearl Jam, the latter of which Reznor had made insults in the past but in later years has grown to praise them. Reznor also made criticism about how bands use the studio for their own recordings though he did praise the work of Steve Albini, the man who had produced albums for Nirvana, PJ Harvey, and the Pixies. Reznor's feelings about studios, notably being influenced by Rick Rubin, in the fact that studios can be used as an instrument in order to broaden a sound. In early 1994, the new album entitled The Downward Spiral was officially complete as Reznor left Le Pig studios for good after a meeting with Sharon Tate's sister who had been unhappy about the idea that Reznor might exploiting the house for his own fame. Though Reznor gained notoriety for using the Tate house as a studio, he had the house demolished after he left though he took the doors of the house for himself. Interscope was relieved that the album was finished, they weren't sure about its commercial potential. In February of 1994, they released the single March Of The Pigs to radio in which the song became a modern rock hit. Thanks in part to a hard-hitting, trash can-like beat, thrashing guitars, angry lyrics, and a melodic piano break in a quiet section of the song. Reznor and Peter Christopherson worked on two music videos that featured the newly-assembled NIN live band. The first video featured the band playing on top of a shallow pool of water that was later scrapped. The second featured the band playing in a rehearsal studio in one continuous shot that became the final video. For this new live line-up of NIN, Reznor brought in longtime collaborator Chris Vrenna to play drums again along with James Wooley on keyboards who had played with NIN during the Lollapalooza festival in 1991. Joining the live band are Danny Lohner and Robin Finck. Lohner, who had been contributing guitars for the new album was chosen as a guitarist/keyboardist/bassist while Finck who had contributed to the Marilyn Manson album was chosen to be the lead guitarist and an occasional keyboardist. Also joining the tour were Sean Beaven on live mixing boards and backing vocals on the side of the stage. Opening for NIN for the first leg of the tour was Reznor's protégé Marilyn Manson and his own live band along with the shock troupe known as the Jim Rose Circus. On March 8, 1994, The Downward Spiral was officially released. The album was a departure from the previous recordings as it was hailed by critics as one of the best albums of the year. Filled with haunting, chaotic electronic textures, raging guitars, and hammering beats along with lyrics of nihilism, self-destruction, sexual perversion, and depression. The album reflected Reznor's troubled state of mind at the time while the record was dedicated to Jeff Ward, the NIN live drummer during the Lollapalooza tour who had committed suicide in 1993. The dark tone of the album resonated with fans and audiences who had never heard of NIN as it debuted at #2 in the Billboard 200 album charts in the U.S. behind another new album that week in Soundgarden's Superunknown. The band went on a promotional tour in March of 1994 for some shows in the U.S. before starting a brief tour in Australia which the band had never played before. Unlike the smaller, intimate but chaotic tour presentation for Pretty Hate Machine. The tour known as Self-Destruct had a stage presentation filled with sheer curtains, decayed stands for drums and keyboards, the band in black and dark clothes whether it was in torn leather or other types of clothing. Sometimes, they would be in cornstarch and makeup while the destruction, on-stage fighting, and such would become more dangerous than in previous tours. When the band finally started the tour in late April for the North American/European leg of the tour that lasted through the summer. It was becoming one of the hottest shows in town along with its moments of violence and chaos. At one show, Reznor accidentally threw his mic stand at drummer Chris Vrenna. With a cut on his head and bleeding quite heavily, Vrenna somehow managed to keep on playing throughout the entire show. Injuries would occur throughout the tour when guitarist Robin Finck slammed his guitar down on the floor where he nearly got the end of his finger cut off forcing a show to be cancelled. During the tour, Reznor was working on a soundtrack project for film director Oliver Stone called Natural Born Killers. Having just contributed a cover of Joy Division's Dead Souls to the film soundtrack for Alex Proyas' film The Crow. With help from Chris Vrenna and Charlie Clouser, Reznor created a soundtrack mixed different types of music and songs as if the listener was hearing the film in its mind.   With the tour winding down in the summer of 1994, a new NIN single was released in May of that year. Closer, which featured a drum loop inspired by Iggy Pop's Nightclubbing from his 1977 seminal solo debut The Idiot, was a dark song with a famous line in the chorus, "I want to f*ck you like an animal". The video directed by Mark Romanek featured images of Reznor levitating on the air with images of S&M, a naked woman, a crucified monkey, and all other disturbing images shot in grainy camera footage was considered to be one of the most groundbreaking videos of its time. Though MTV played an edited version of the video, it was a hit with the channel as Closer was becoming a huge hit for the summer of 1994. Though the song did help album sales for The Downward Spiral, sales were still slow while costs for the tour were being very high due to the broken instruments that the band had destroyed throughout. Then came a financial opportunity that would help NIN for the tour costs in what would be one of the biggest festivals of the summer. August of 1969 had the seminal Woodstock Music & Arts festival that was a huge moment for the 1969. The organizers of the original festival wanted a 25th Anniversary celebration of the festival in a different part of town in Saugerties, New York. Returning from the 1969 festival were veterans such as Crosby, Stills, & Nash, Santana, Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, Country Joe McDonald, the Band, John Sebastian, and Joe Cocker. Along with veterans from the original Woodstock were some of the hottest acts of the day from rock veterans like Aerosmith, Peter Gabriel, Traffic, Paul Rodgers, the Neville Brothers, and Bob Dylan to some of the hottest acts of the 1990s like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Salt N' Pepa, the Cranberries, Primus, and Green Day. Despite a corporate sponsorship, high ticket prices, and things that would become a bigger issue five years later in Woodstock ‘99. The Woodstock ‘94 festival was a success with two acts breaking through in that festival. The punk-pop band Green Day where on the third and final day of the festival on August 14, they played to a crowd with mud thrown at them. Yet, on the night before that on August 13, 1994. Playing between before Metallica and later, Aerosmith. NIN took to the stage drenched in mud from head to toe. On that night, NIN would steal the show. Whereas the original Woodstock celebrated peace and love, NIN did the opposite in providing anger and darkness to a crowd of more than 300,000 people with millions more watching at home. Though Reznor didn't feel the show wasn't one of NIN's best performances. It was the moment that not only catapulted NIN into the mainstream but also put them on the covers of magazines and videos being played on constant rotation on MTV. That night didn't just change things for NIN but put industrial music into the mainstream. A compilation for the event featured the NIN song Happiness In Slavery that would win NIN another Grammy. After Woodstock ‘94, album sales for The Downward Spiral soared where eventually, the album sold four million copies in the U.S. with NIN also getting big sales around the world. Later that August, the soundtrack to Natural Born Killers was released featuring a new NIN song called Burn as the soundtrack was a hit both critically and commercially. Shortly after Woodstock ‘94, NIN began their next leg of the Self-Destruct Tour called Further Down the Spiral as NIN was playing to bigger venues as their stage show became more ambitious. Featuring several opening acts like Marilyn Manson, Jim Rose Circus, and Hole. The tour was a massive success where backstage antics got wilder. One of those encounters that to this day, no one knows the truth about related to Hole vocalist Courtney Love. Rumors of an affair between the two reached gossip pages with Love, the widow of Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain who had committed suicided in April of 1994, as she claimed about the affair. Though Reznor denied it through the years, it did put Reznor at unease over the attention which he liked and disliked. During the tour, he met one of his idols in Lou Reed, the alternative rock legend who was one of the co-founders of the seminal alt-rock band the Velvet Underground. Though things were going great for the tour and Reznor being on the cover of several magazines including Rolling Stone, Details, and SPIN. He also ventured into the world of rock n' roll excess dabbling in alcohol and drugs which he didn't reveal publicly until years later. Not everything during the tour went well where in late 1994, Reznor's pet golden retrieve Maise fell off a balcony and died where Reznor cancelled the next date of the show on tour to mourn. In mid-December 1994, James Wooley officially left the NIN live band to venture into his own projects as he was later replaced by Charlie Clouser, who had been on the road with the band helping Reznor work on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack. Clouser fit in with the band immediately as he took part in some of the chaos onstage in the performances. In two early January 1995 shows in Worchester and New York City, NIN brought in a special guest in Adam Ant to sing a few songs. With Ant's guitarist Marco Pirroni, it was big deal exemplifying NIN's fame with Ant getting some renewed attention as months later. He got a surprise modern-rock hit with the song Wonderful. Despite all of the success and acclaim that Reznor and NIN was encountering, the band also courted controversy. Conservative critics in the music industry had issues with Reznor's nihilistic lyrics along with his opening act Marilyn Manson who had been courting controversy as well. For NIN's label Interscope, the label was becoming successful due to controversial acts like NIN plus gangsta-rap acts like Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, and Snoop Doggy Dogg. Despite all that success, Interscope got its superiors at Time Warner in trouble with the government that would later force Time Warner to drop Interscope from their roster of labels as Interscope then moved to MCA and its roster of labels. After the Further Down the Spiral tour ended in late February, the band took a break until doing a three-day stint playing in the Alternative Nation Festival tour in Australia with other bands. During these breaks, Reznor worked on various projects including working on remix albums for Marilyn Manson and a NIN remix album of his own in Further Down the Spiral. Released in May of 1995, Further Down the Spiral was a remix collection that featured original tracks by Aphex Twin along with remixes by Coil, J.G. Thirlwell, Rick Rubin with Jane's Addiction/Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro and Kim Bullard, and NIN themselves with Charlie Clouser providing a couple of remixes for the U.K. version of the record. Around the same time the record was released, a promo single for the song Hurt was becoming a hit on radio and MTV in a live video version directed by Simon Maxwell. The poignant ballad was a surprise hit as it dealt with death and despair making it an unlikely hit. While NIN took a break and was reaping some rewards, things were going well for Reznor's Nothing label as Marilyn Manson became a breakout star for a creepy cover of the Eurhythmics song Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) that gave Manson and his band their own tour. Nothing also signed the U.K. electro-punk act Pop Will Eat Itself, who opened for NIN in the second half of the Further Down the Spiral Tour. Also signed to the label were Coil, Meat Beat Manifesto, Pig from KMFDM's Raymond Watts, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Reznor's old friend from Cleveland in Kevin McMahon with his new band Prick. Though the label helped expose a lot of bands, it wasn't a total success as John Bergin under his Trust Obey moniker made an album for the label that wasn't well-received by Reznor due to lack of commercial potential which he released under a different label. Coil and Einsturzende Neubauten, both of whom were pioneers of the industrial genre, hadn't released any records for the label to commitments with other labels in the U.K. and Europe. While Reznor achieved success for bringing exposure to the industrial genre. Not everyone was happy with NIN's success aside from conservative critics. Industrial purists charged that Reznor had sold out from the aesthetics of the industrial genre by making it more commercial. At the same time, industrial music was becoming a hot thing with the industry as the Richard Patrick Brian Lisegang post-industrial project Filter scored a commercial hit with the song Hey Man, Nice Shot. Though Lisegang left in 1997, Filter would continue to embark on major success though Patrick would say unkind things to Reznor including a song called Captain Bligh for 1999's Title of Record about Reznor's anti-social behavior. At the same time, labels were starting to gain success with industrial acts like Stabbing Westward, God Lives Underwater, and Gravity Kills some of which were criticized for being NIN imitators. 1995 also saw the King of Pop Michael Jackson and his sister Janet score a hit with their song Scream that featured a distorted industrial beat as it was later revealed around Michael Jackson's death in June 2009 that he was a fan of The Downward Spiral. During that summer of 1995 in which Reznor was taking a break and working on small projects including soundtrack music for the video game Quake. Reznor received a phone call from one of the most unlikely individuals he would encounter. Rock music legend David Bowie. Like Bob Dylan before him, David Bowie was a master of reinvention as he started out as a folk singer of sorts going into proto-punk and then glam rock with his Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane personas. Then moving towards American soul music in the late 70s in his Thin White Duke persona, he went into a more experimental, electronic approach with former Roxy Music keyboardist Brian Eno. In 1983, Bowie was in his most successful period with Let's Dance but found himself creatively stifled by making records in the mid and late 80s that squandered his reputation. The 1990s saw Bowie try to reclaim some credibility but his albums, despite some acclaim, came and went with the public who now see him as a lounge lizard from the 1980s. Even young music fans in the world of grunge, alternative rock, and gangsta rap see him as a relic from the 1980s not aware of his music in the 1970s. By 1995, Bowie was ready to embark on his first tour in five years to promote his new album 1. Outside that he made with Brian Eno. The record was an art-rock filled with industrial and electronic textures based on the concept on a non-linear mystery about the murder of a young girl with a detective investigating the murder. The NIN-Bowie tour called Dissonance among NIN fans as well as Outside for Bowie fans featured the band Prick from Reznor's Nothing label as the opening act. It was met with high anticipation but Bowie and NIN's approach to the stage presentation was a shock. On the opening date on September 14, 1995 in Hartford, Connecticut at the Meadow Music Theater. Just as NIN was nearing the end of their set, David Bowie arrives to do five songs with the band and later his own band with Reznor and Bowie doing a duet of Hurt that would close NIN's full set and then segue into Bowie's own set. While the presentation did receive some excellent reviews with critics. The idea of NIN opening for Bowie didn't sit well with some audiences, notably those who came to see Bowie. At the same time, younger fans who came to see NIN didn't stick around for Bowie's set as critics were aware that NIN was blowing Bowie off the stage. Bowie however, knew that NIN were going to upstage him but didn't seem to mind. Even as he was playing material from his new album plus obscurities with the exception of a couple of hit songs in Under Pressure and The Man Who Sold The World with some thought the latter was a Nirvana cover when really, Bowie wrote the song back in 1970. In a rare 2002 appearance for A&E's Biography on Bowie, Reznor recalled Bowie's feelings about that tour as he was amazed by his fearlessness of playing every show that night. The tour eventually received mixed reviews and disappointing ticket sales though it did put Bowie back in the mainstream with some calling his new album 1. Outside one of finer albums in the 1990s. For NIN, touring with Bowie was an experience like no other as Reznor even remixed the song Heart's Filthy Lesson for its single release. After the tour, NIN embarked on a small, 11 date club tour with the alternative-metal band Helmet. Playing shows in Florida, Texas, and New Orleans, the tour was better received for its intimate, raw presentation. Around that same time, Trent Reznor was named Artist of the Year by SPIN magazine. After the tour ended, it seemed everything was great for Trent Reznor and NIN. Instead, Reznor was unraveling due to his troubled state of mind that was increased by his consumption of drugs and alcohol. Reznor took a break to go to rehab as he was also dealing with the pressure from Interscope Records on a follow-up album for The Downward Spiral. The problem was that Trent Reznor wasn't ready to make a follow-up. After his stint in rehab, Reznor worked on several small projects to keep himself busy in his new home in New Orleans where he also remodeled an old funeral home as a recording studio called Nothing Studios. Among the small projects Reznor worked on was music for the video game Quake and a side project he stumbled into with NIN live members Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser. The material Reznor made with Lohner and Clouser was meant to be a democratic version of NIN that would eventually become Tapeworm. With Reznor giving Lohner and Clouser freedom to do whatever they wanted while allowing guests artists to contribute. Among those guest artists who worked on early incarnations of Tapeworm were Tommy Victor from Prong, Curve vocalist Toni Halliday, Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo, and Helmet leader/guitarist Page Hamilton. Another contributor to the side project who would become one of the key members of the group is Maynard James Keenan, the vocalist for the art-metal band Tool. Keenan struck a friendship with Reznor and members of the NIN camp as he used Tapeworm as a side project away from Tool. While Reznor dabbled into the Tapeworm project, he was also decided to work on the sophomore studio release for Marilyn Manson. Originally, the plan was to produce the album and that was it. Instead, the project became more ambitious during the recording of Antichrist Superstar where moments of excess and decadence occurred. Reznor along with his live band contributed to the Manson album where things unraveled for Reznor and those involved in the making of the album. When the album was complete, relationships within both camps dissolved as Reznor and Manson had a falling out after it was finished in late summer/early fall of 1996 while Reznor unraveled following its completion. NIN live guitarist Robin Finck left the NIN camp to join Circus du Soleil and later becoming Slash's replacement for Guns N' Roses in late 1996. Reznor then got a call from acclaimed film director David Lynch to do some work on the film's soundtrack for his upcoming film Lost Highway. Reznor took part in the project in compiling and editing the project throughout the remainder of 1996. Then in late August of 1996, Reznor and NIN went on a three-date club show in New Orleans, New York City, and Atlanta dubbed the Night of Nothing Tour to promote Nothing Records. Filling in Robin Finck's role in the live band was Prick's Kevin McMahon while Pop Will Eat Itself vocalist Clint Mansell took part of the tour. At a show in New York City filmed for MTV's 120 Minutes with Marilyn Manson and Meat Beat Manifesto. Mansell revealed that Pop Will Eat Itself has disbanded while Filter's Richard Patrick made a surprise appearance playing guitar with NIN for Head Like A Hole. September 8, 1996 was the last show of the tour which would also mark Chris Vrenna's final show with the band and the last show NIN would play for three years. Reznor returned to New Orleans to finish the soundtrack to Lost Highway where he, Danny Lohner, Charlie Clouser, and Chris Vrenna created a new NIN song called The Perfect Drug which featured drum n' bass arrangements to compliment Reznor's interest in the burgeoning electronic music scene. Though the song would later be revealed as not one of Reznor's favorites with an expensive music video that nearly cost a million dollars by Mark Romanek. The video with its Gothic images inspired by the works of Edward Gorey. The song and video was released in the early winter of 1997 to promote Lost Highway while Reznor shared the cover of Rolling Stone with David Lynch. More accolades came for Reznor as SPIN named the most vital artist in music at that time while Time magazine listed him as one of the 25 most influential figures of the year. All of those accolades and interviews didn't help Reznor's troubled state of mind as he faced more departures from the NIN camp. Sean Beaven, who had helped Reznor for the past few years left to work exclusively with Marilyn Manson. Longtime collaborator Chris Vrenna chose to leave the NIN camp for good to embark on his own solo career that would be called Tweaker while eventually becoming a part of the Manson live band in 2004 as a drummer and keyboardist. If Reznor's struggles with his sobriety and the departures of key personnel was bad enough. All of that would be small compared to the most horrifying event in Reznor's life. The death of Clara Clark, Reznor's grandmother who raised him as a child sent Reznor into emotional turmoil where he eventually went into seclusion and counseling to cope with his depression. In May of 1997, NIN released the five-track single for The Perfect Drug filled with remixes by Meat Beat Manifesto, the Orb, Spacetime Continuum, Reznor with new NIN engineer Keith Hillebrandt, and a new artist signed to Nothing Records in electronic artist Luke Vibert under his Plug moniker. Reznor went into hiding during that period as he was struggling to get started on the next NIN album. Then a phone call from David Bowie got Reznor out of hiding as Bowie asked him to remix his new single I'm Afraid Of Americans from his 1997 album Earthling. Reznor along with Charlie Clouser, Danny Lohner, Keith Hillebrandt, and new NIN collaborator in former Skinny Puppy producer Dave "Rave" Ogilvie created several remixes for the single which featured a vocal contribution from rapper Ice Cube and a mix by Photek. Reznor appeared in the video for the song as a deranged man chasing Bowie all across New York City which was inspired by Reznor's troubled state of mind. After the single's release, Reznor returned to New Orleans and Nothing Studios getting ready to work on what would become his most ambitious project to date. A project that would be his most challenging work yet but also a record that would give him a brief moment of celebration only to fall dramatically as his demons would surround him to the point of near-death. In the years to come, Reznor would face challenges that he didn't expect in music climate that is foreign to him as well as himself where he would face more upheaval in the years to come.
