Talk:Trent Reznor

Content

This article needs to remain non-stalker-ish. Here's some guidelines. Note from leo: Due to some new articles posted at some message boards, some modifications to the guidelines have been made.

Okay

Place of birth and childhood
Date of birth
Instruments he plays and has played in the past
Most anything Trent has discussed in interviews

Not Okay

Phone number
Home address (past and present)
Favorite candy (It's Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.)
Names of relatives, living or dead (or undead)
Names of girlfriends/spouses, past and present
Sex life and sexual history
Anything that is considered too personal or too much information

So, in other words, try not to be a stalker, and try not to insert useless info. --Tony 17:10, 11 March 2007 (PDT)

But how else will people know what kind of candy to throw on stage??

Just a reminder: This article is to focus primarily on Trent's career and music. Anything that is irrelevant or deemed too personal WILL be removed, and you will receive a warning.--leo3375 15:12, 22 December 2007 (PST)

East Coast Taurus.

Huh, that's pretty cool. Trent has a birthday twelve days after mine, and he's from a place that's about an hour from my house. Interesting. --Electric 17:58, 27 March 2007 (PDT)

Beware! You just provided stalkerish info on yourself. Pomte 00:45, 30 March 2007 (PDT)

Drug Use

Where did that info about Trent ODing on heroin come from? I've always just read about his being addicted to "drugs" but no specifics. Broken sounds like it is on cocaine, TDS on heroin, etc. Depravitor 11:30, 6 May 2007 (PDT)

It was mentioned in an interview in NME in April 2005. Trent recalled in the interview waking up in a hospital and being told what had happened.--Leo3375 15:47, 6 May 2007 (PDT)

Early timeline - The Innocent

The article states that he was in The Innocent after Exotic Birds. I thought he was in Option 30, then The Innocent, and finally the Exotic Birds?--arclight 16:01, 26 November 2007 (EDT)

I'll have to do a little more research. I know Option 30 was first, then the Urge.--Leo3375 13:42, 26 November 2007 (PST)

2009/05/02 HUGE NEWS!!!

By now everyone's heard the big news. At this point in time I don't see the need to mention it in the article. When it has happened, we can go ahead and change the last sentence in the article to "… with his wife and two Greyhounds."--leo3375 21:40, 2 May 2009 (PDT)

Just an addendum: I have no problem with anyone making a page for the band West Indian Girl and categorizing them as a Related Band.--leo3375 10:13, 30 May 2009 (PDT)

Well, then surely we'd have to mention her in this article? Because related artists thus far are only ones that have collaborated or been on tour with NIN, and so there would have to be a reason why the band was there. Shouldn't we just leave it unless some colab work does happen, or she in some way gets involved with nin? sheepdean ^{is in your base}_{killing your d00ds} 16:22, 30 May 2009 (PDT)

Religion

I've been going through various old articles, and back then he mentioned religion a lot more - is that fit for mention, or too personal? I'm asking because its a close call, religion features in so many songs, but someone's religion IS their personal business. sheepdean ^{is in your base}_{killing your d00ds} 15:41, 28 May 2009 (PDT)

He was raised Lutheran but hasn't been a practicing Christian for a long time. I'm not sure if it can fit anywhere in this article.--leo3375 21:17, 28 May 2009 (PDT)

I know the info (he's a non-specific theist nowadays), I just wanted to check if it was acceptable for the article. I'll try and see if I can put it in the early years, but I'll double check my references first. sheepdean ^{is in your base}_{killing your d00ds} 04:57, 29 May 2009 (PDT)

Body of work

Should this be made into a table format, or is it better as it is, so each year can be accessed by the contents box?

Sobriety

This should be entered I feel, but is relatively personal, so just checking first sheepdean Try to speak as clearly as you can 04:41, 6 June 2009 (PDT)
