Music Quotes:
When an instrument fails on stage it mocks you and must be destroyed. - Trent Reznor Submitted by: LucidLupin

Band Name Origins:
- Wintermute is thinking of the song "Precious Things" off of Tori Amos' first record. But the band had already formed by that time. Trent took the name from a note with potential band names. He stated in an interview that "Nine Inch Nails" stood the 2-week test, that it looked great in print, and could be easily abbreviated. He stated that there was no meaning behind it. Just that it sounded, to use his own words, "tough and manly". Submitted by: me
- "Caught A Light Sneeze" by Tori Amos does not contain the words "Nine Inch Nails" and was released in 1996. Pretty Hate Machine was released in 1989. It does mention the words Pretty Hate Machine, but was written seven years after the album was released and was more than likely some reference or joke between Tori and Trent as they are good friends.

Why the Name is Stupid:

- One of the most makes-you-wanna-throw-up names in history! Think about it, a guy walking around with Nine Inch Nails! Maybe they saw the movie Edward Scissorhands while deciding name... Submitted by: Rob

Song Parody Fragments:
"Only"
Better Lyrics:
Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye
It was just about too small to see
And then I noticed it was a pimple
At least it was to me
Anyway I popped it
Though it was too small to see
It was just about too small to see
And then I noticed it was a pimple
At least it was to me
Anyway I popped it
Though it was too small to see
Original Lyrics:
Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye
And it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone
I kept picking at that scab
And it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone
I kept picking at that scab

Dated Lyrics:
"Wish"
The Dated Lyrics: 26 years on my way to hell
Why They're Dated: This song came out in 1992, but it was written in 1991, when Trent Reznor was really 26 years old (he was born May 17, 1965). However, now that Trent is 40, I do wonder sometimes how he can sing this song in concert keeping a straight face....
