Trent as roadie, what year? I think it must be [https://www.prongs.org/ministry/tour-revco88 RevCo 1988 tour]: [https://www.metaledgemag.com/interviews/al-jourgensen-talks-ministry-motley-crue-madonna-and-his-upcoming-arena-rock-album]
[https://books.google.com/books?id=_RZpCQAAQBAJ&lpg=PA117&dq=%22That%E2%80%99s%20how%20Trent%20Reznor%20became%20a%20Revolting%20Cocks%20roadie%22&pg=PA117#v=onepage&q&f=false]<blockquote>When the RevCo tour got to Cleveland, Ohio, everything and everyone was wrecked. We were in Cincinnati the night before, and I spilled a beer into the four-track recorder we used for the backing track when we were onstage; I wrecked the thing, It was toast, and that was a big problem because pretty much the whole show was on the tapes that we played over the PA. At the time we basically lip synched the whole show like Milli Vanilli. I said to the promoter of the venue: “I don’t think we can do the show because our four-track is gone.”
Someone said, “I know someone with a four-track, and he’s a big Ministry
fan. Just get him into the show, and he'll let you use his machine.” So this kid
named Trent came in with his four-track, and he looked kind of skeptical. [t
was exactly the same four-track we were using, so it was perfect, but he said,
“You're not taking my four-track. You already wrecked yours, and I need
mine for my music.” So | said, “Okay, I'll pay you for it. How much do you
want?” But he refused because it had some sentimental value for him. So | said,
“Okay, look, you like the band. We need the four-track. Why don’t you come
on the road with us and travel in our bus in exchange?” So he agreed. And
that’s how Trent Reznor became a Revolting Cocks roadie before he started
Nine Inch Nails.
He probably regretted it because we tortured that poor kid. Maybe it hard-
ened him to the road. I don’t know. But it was his first time on tour, and we
called him “Mama’s Boy” and whipped Black Cat firecrackers at him all the
time. We used to throw these things in his bunk to wake him up, and he'd
jump around like there were poisonous snakes in his bed. He'd try to keep up
with our drinking. We wouldn't let him stop, so he'd puke and pass out, and
then we'd draw dicks and pussies and the word “fag” on him in permanent
Sharpie marker. Eventually he got sick of the abuse and said, “Oh, my grand-
mother is sick. I have to go,” and he left the tour. But we kept the four-track.
Looking back I really think going out with RevCo was good for Trent. It was
a trial by fire—no frying pan, directly into the fire. He earned his stripes. If
you can survive a Revolting Cocks tour, you can survive the music business.
I didn’t see him again for a number of years, then out of the blue he called
me up and asked me to produce a cover of Queen’s “Get Down Make Love”
for a Pretty Hate Machine B-side. | don’t know why he came back to me after
we put him through so much crap, but | was happy to hear from him again, so
I invited him to Chicago Trax, where we put him through another few days of
hell—and I really like the guy. We were just fucking with him, which is what
we did back then with people we liked. We had a pact during the session that
we would work all hours of the night and that no one could fall asleep. Any-
one who fell asleep would get their head shaved. And then, of course, I put
Rohypnols in Trent’s and drummer Chris Vrenna’s drinks so they passed out.
It was kind of like a Vegas game there, man. I was tilling the odds—doing lots
of coke to stay awake and giving them drugs to make sure they passed out.
As soon as they fell asleep I broke out the clippers. I shaved their heads and
their eyebrows. I got through Vrenna really fast. And then I stared on Trent.
Shaving his head was no problem. And I did one of his eyebrows completely
but only got halfway through the other before he woke up. He asked, “What
the fuck are you doing?!” And I said, “I told you, man. No one's allowed to pass
out.” He didn’t know what I did exactly, so he ran to the mirror, saw what I
did to him, and started screaming like an eight-year-old girl. The next month
I saw a photo of him in some music magazine, and the caption read, “Trent
sets a new style.” Ha! It neglected to mention the part about him passing out
from Rohypnol and me butchering his hair. That’s the new style! But seriously, I think Trent is really talented, and I have no problems with his success. I’m happy for the guy.</blockquote>
