Why is Reznor a "Musical Genius"?
Trauma
Reznor is creative and can write while but I am wondering what reasons
people give for calling him a musical genius?
My list of people who I think are musical geniuses would include the
following but not Reznor:
David Bowie
Prince
Peter Gabriel
Cevin Key
Asiteapart
Trent Reznor (who else in this era of shitty rock?! 1989-)
David Bowie (1970s-)
Prince (1980s-)
Peter Gabriel (1980s-)
Cevin Key ?
i mean c'mon. Trent is one of a kind.

that regardless of what your music sounds like, composing songs on the scale
that Trent does is difficult. We're talking serious studio time here. He's
just as conceptual as those others you listed.
The only thing that Trent lacks for the most part is the ability to create
truly unique melodies. Just about every song on the fragile is a variant of
some pentatonic or blues scale. I can sit there with my guitar and play
along very easily to a lot of trent's tune, even jam out new melodic
harmonies that sound just as "genius" as trent's.
That being said, however, he *does* lay out exquisite harmonic and rhythmic
frameworks within which to work, truly unique and inspired bases of music
that very few of us could ever conceive of originally.

not many. i'd have to say billy corgan (1988-). but that's it.
> David Bowie (1970s-)
ok; just switch 1970-s to 1967-
> Peter Gabriel (1980s-)
his best work was between 69 and 75. i'd ammend that to 69-

1982-

musically, the guy is unparalleled nowadays. very few musicians have the
schooling nowadays needed to do stuff like he does.
my list would be:
gabriel, corgan, reznor, crompton, fripp, philip glass, john lennon, john
paul jones, roger waters, peter christopherson, jimi hendrix and brian eno.
of course this is only considering stuff since about 1960.

unless you're talking about "musical geniuses" that can be seen on mtv,
the above is a rather naïve statement.

I am a lurker here, but I must interject.....
I think that Reznor is a 'musical genious' because he is testing
unchartered waters......Also, one can tell how respected his music is as
evidenced by the number of bands that imitate his style......
My list of Musical geniouses:
Trent Reznor
Kurt Cobain (more lyrical than musical)
Brian Wilson
Geoff Barrow (Portishead) - as atmospheric as the Fragile is, nothing
comes close to his work....
David Bowie
Beck
Lennon / McCartney
Jim Morrison (like Cobain, more lyrically inclined)

Pretty damn good list. I agree with your assessment about his training ,but you
forgot to add that doing what Trent does takes an incredible amount of work.
The fact that everyone doesn't put out albums as well produced and sound like
his is because of the time/work it involves. Here's a guy who spent 6 months
learning hnow to use his studio before even beginning to write songs. (TDS)
I'm continually amazed how much better his songs sound on the radio. I drive an
Escort with the standard shitty Ford stereo in it,most of the music sound a tad
muddy or tinny when its playing,then a NIN song comes on and the speakers in my
car come totally alive for the first time. The difference between NIN songs and
everyone else's songs on my stereo is amazing.

all, and still express himself well. Artistically sound and interesting,
yet catchy and listenable (with the exception of some of cEvin's work...
Brilliant in its harshness.... but I digress). I think Trent fits into
that list quite well.

You forgot to add Richard D. James, aka Aphex Twin. He's basically the Czar of
Electronic...some of his stuff is off-beat, but when its on its really on. He's
worked with NiN by the way, but of course I bet a lot of you people know that.
Most of his music doesn't sound exactly like At the Heart of It All, but its
got that same kind of gritty industrial feel. But of course this is only on his
industrial songs(Ventolin, for example). He tends to do a variety of songs,
usually "drill and bass" or ambient, but he does really good pieces with
strings. Well, that's my two cents anyways...if you want to start off with a
good Aphex CD, I'd suggest picking up the Richard D. James album. Its probably
the easiest to find at your local record store. Also, the Come to Daddy single
may be to your likeing, as the title track is very harsh-metal-ish. Good stuff.

Mr. Poopybutt
just me. Richard D. James is good, but he's no genius.... not yet anyway. Doesn't
expand outside of electroica enough, and it's really the same drumloop/funny noise
music as everyone else, just well done. Think of all the ground the people in the
list of 'commonly accepted' genii have covered. Of course I only have 8 of his CDs
(I think there are like 40) what I have heard is remarkably the same thing redone.

Artistically, Kristin Hersh is worth about fifty of Reznor. It says
something hideous about popular musical "tastes" that Reznor could
probably buy Kristin Hersh, her family, and her hometown fifty times
over.

Yeah,but he's not a genius. A genius implies doing things outside the box to a
certain degree. I like him too and he is very very talented ,but he's built
directly on top of the house that Eno built. BTW ,who are the genuine techno
pioneers?? Anybody??
tintin23x
I am going to make you a tape/cd/whatever from the Philip Glass/Eno/Bowie remake of "Low"
that totally rules.
The thing to realize is that the group that Glass has playing with him never includes pre-programmed
sequences, all the "loops" are live. At least when they play live.
Now that you mention it, I think that Left (or is it RIGHT) sounds like Philip Glass' "1000 Airplanes on
the Roof"
At least the instrumental sections. I play some for you and you'll see or your head will explode.
Michael Nyman is maybe a little easier to listen to the first time out.
He does alot of soundtrack work, The Cook, The Thief, the Wife & Her Lover, The Draftman's Contract.

NIN was the first band I ever heard use a drum machine in an
acceptable way. NIN was the first to use cool samples of tribal
dance shit in a way that didn't offend the ear.

As I like them both very much, to the point of being near-obsessive
completist, I'd rather have the ability to buy both of them a drink
and to sit down over some good Vietnamese food. Far more entertaining.

To each their own, I guess. I've got just about everything Kristin
Hersh ever released, even the stuff I don't particularly care for,
because I feel called upon to support her work. I particularly
respect the fact that she is enough of a musician to sit up there
on stage - just one woman and just one guitar - and make a crowd
eat out of her hand. Let's see Reznor pull off something like that.

songs suck you in and he expresses his fells through his song like most

feelings got straight to my core. Other dont! Thats why!

He has recorded with all of the following: Laurie Anderson, David
Bowie, King Crimson, Nine Inch Nails, Talking Heads, and Frank Zappa,
as well as releasing seven or more solo albums, the best of which were
only on vinyl.
My personal favorite for CD is "THRaKaTTaK" (King Crimson, 1996) and
for DVD is "deja VROOOM" (King Crimson, 1999).
"deja VROOOM" is an incredibly technologically advanced interactive
video disc that pushes its medium to new heights in addition to
containing just about the best and most adventuresome musicianship
available anywhere.

All Trent has to do is go on stage somewhere, and surely there'll
be enough fans willing to eat out of any part of his body... but I
need not go into further detail.
