Option 30 - Show Me What It's Like

[eswyatt]

Thanks!

[ipayj]

This makes me respect him so much more, he went from silly corny band, that does silly-cutesy covers, to making hard, fascinating, beautiful and most definitely heart wrenching music that actually means something to A LOT of people. I look at it as you can't be who you are meant to be without experimenting along the way.

[SouthernSky]

he looks like MacGyver's younger brother

[MrShmetel]

My opinion of him is altered forever.

[THEMISSING76]

@MrShmetel why because he was in a corny band before he found his niche? like ummm...just about every other artist on earth? get over yourself.

[MrShmetel]

@THEMISSING76 You really gotta jump up and defend him like that? Yes because he was in a corny band I now disregard his entire catalog. Even songs I liked are forever tainted by his dalliance with weak-ass, Rick Springfield, techno pop. All the things I loved about NIN mean nothing now. Option 30 took that from me.

[Zorsha]

@MrShmetel what?? are you nuts? why would you let his early stuff ruin NIN for you? all artists go through growing pains and awkward moments -this was Trents. You should be GLAD he evolved into NIN and no longer does this kind of music. grow up a little, man.

[MrShmetel]

@Zorsha It's just a joke.

[Zorsha]

@MrShmetel ohhh...lol well it seemed so serious. sorry man! haha

[MrShmetel]

@Zorsha It's this damn text removing all the body language and non verbal cues. Disastrous for humor.

[MrShmetel]

@THEMISSING76 And I don't care for his hair style either.

[TheChirpingAssholes]

He's always had great energy and stage presence.

[Blondfoxy83]

1:33 - 1:48 you've killed me,Trent(YABADABADOO!!!)

[gangurobitch]

Awwwww! Baby Twent!

[kutcharaninfan]

wow... this is kind of odd but trent back then looks more like his fourty some self even though hes barely twenty here

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

@kutcharaninfan Well in the 90s.....cocaine is a hell of a drug

[kutcharaninfan]

@StickyInADarkBlueCut hahaha

[DawnReiFaun]

@StickyInADarkBlueCut This was in the 80s, though.

[leavinghope1970]

...then one day Trent made his deal with the Devil and we got Nine Inch Nails.

[Svperstarr]

He looks like hes 16 haha

[Ghaiyst]

@Svperstarr he was probably only 19

[JohnnyLovely2]

cool

[ninstarnin]

lol wow



[SnotRockets55]

This is better than Slam Bamboo. *snickering*

[Wortoncho]

amazing video

[Staphylin]

He's my idol. A perfect man.

Fucking incredible to see my idol so fucking young !

[sarah9ism]

Wow hes was really made to be a musician, Now I can't not listen:)

[mikegollihue]

I really love this!

[chipaway]

this song is actually really really good!!

[MrGDSTFU]

bad ass mullet

[PunkMartyr]

Trent Reznor for President 2012

[Staphylin]

Young Trent, u ROCKS !

[sonya11Izumi]

did you all see it when he looked at the camera?

that was kinda funny, i love u trent!

[obscureface]

he is beasti'n this song!!!

>:D

[lizzykiss441]

omg its hard 2 believe he was like this, he still rocks though

[jtwiztidbagz]

You can DL option 30 on torrent sites if you want better quality

[PKemmerich]

oh my gosh Trent you're so young ;__;

[JustJust2D]

Wish that sound quality could be better :I it sounds very good othervice!!

[tararep]

HA HA Is that a mullet he's sporting? LMAO

[ShewalksNbeauty]

And while we didn't hear too much from that lead singer, isn't it crazy to see Sammy McRimshot back in the day? Its obvious, even this early in his legendary career that he would become not only an edgy artist, but the "Brad Pitt of drumming" we all know him as today.

[cainslove0]

XDD omg trent your hair! good song

[fecvid]

is there any available download for this songs?

[churchy99]

I actually quite like this - most of the stuff with exotic birds etc are quite bad because I really don't like the music being played but I quite enjoy this. He gives a really good performance here.

[dogster129]

the drum intro sounds like the ending part of "Memorabilia" from NIN

[laberdude]

the drummer rocks hard!

[pinkbloodkiss]

there's some more option 30 songs with trent on the former singers option 30 myspace, since it's a broken band he's the only one who could have the unreleased songs, with trent on them (only sings in one song but...damn it's good song) if someone could get from myspace to youtube i'd love it

[KuzumonoStory]

This is pretty fucking awesome.

[revilo314]

Dude, NINs video production values have plummeted...

[Staphylin]

I want download this !

[DollfieEyes]

see, if you just look behind the little bubble of pretention that most *stars* live in, they're really just weird dorks ;D

[Zacho99]

Mr. Reznor was/is way to creepy to do that kinda music

[RetartedWaffles]

@Zacho99 how is he creepy? Creepy is a child molester or a 30 year old man with an 70 year old woman. He shows emotion and true thoughts I don't think her should be labeled creepy because of that >_>

[Zacho99]

@RetartedWaffles Dude, take a chill pill. Just trying to make a joke, nothing more ;)

[tmf1977]

Damn! This sounds like the wedding band my cousin hired when he and his wife married 20 years ago!

[AtlasAtPeace]

Oh my god this suUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!!!!!!!

[grogtgs]

@AtlasAtPeace We all have to start somewhere

[AtlasAtPeace]

@grogtgs You are absolutely right.

[MisatoIto]

lol... I still woulda hit that.

[warlockboyburns]

different but good

[HapPyGabOo182]

Trent myyyyy Idol

[obscureface]

lucky key board...........he was one of few lucky ones that were not smashed.

XD

[pinkbloodkiss]

i'd love to hear the rest of this album...ftw

[arclight2012]

No, you really don't. It's very cringeworthy! Haha...

[pinkbloodkiss]

well i've heard der komisser so ...yeah i do

[tribestros]

even though this is horrible 80s music, it's funny to see trent still rocking it out

[RedXmasLights]

haha... the drums in the beginning sound like the earliest incarnation of Demon Seed

[killtheswitch]

wayyy better than slam bamboo in my opinion.

[mrbusters]

@killtheswitch Ohhhhh yessss

[HapPyGabOo182]

the best the best is Trent

[TheNineinchsnails]

option 30 should have never broke up..the sad thing was none of them had a carrer after they broke up....wtf is dat trent reznor

[janX9]

I love how Trent sings...so distinctive.

[whgwcd]

HOT DAMN.

[eggsammichz]

wow im surprised, this isnt gay like the other option 30 song i listened to....

[FuneralDivine]

I do have to admit that I really like this song

[Sarahllewellyn]

Love it Love it Love it

[uncreativeranter]

Trent couldn't really be angry in the 80s as it was still aidsless & free love so he had to wait till the 90s when aids was really bad & sex was smashed with grim reaper ads then Trent could do his anger thing with the correct context of 90s zeitgeist & get away with his angry man thing in the grunge years of early 90s

[dandadam]

@uncreativeranter yer but industrial started in the 80s like the band ministry

[badluckshadow13]

@dandadam if you want to be technical, industrial started in the 70's with bands like Throbbing Gristle.

[dandadam]

oh realy i'll have to check them out.

[sRod21]

in a weird way, the begining of that drum beat reminded me of Disipline

[Cockoblock]

TR stopped NIN so he can go back to his old band

[mistermajestyck]

lol

[KDJCRH]

err. sorry, the correct answer was that he was getting old (late 40's). and he has just gotten married roughly 3 weeks ago. and his "old band" is practically nothing now. just to inform

[Cockoblock]

no he didn't. he's already planning an option 30 reunion tour and co-headlining with Slam Bamboo and with The Exotic Birds to open. : D

[KDJCRH]

sorry to inform but your still wrong. were close friends of the family and that came straight from teh lips of hsi father

[Cockoblock]

but i have his dad's myspace and i am on his top 8.

[KDJCRH]

ok, ill give you that but i know him in person. and yes option 30 may be coming back and yes the exotic birds may be opening for them, but trent wont be aboard

[Cockoblock]

i just got off the phone with trent. he said you're wrong.

[KDJCRH]

ok now your just being stupid

[Cockoblock]

about time you caught up. i wasn't being serious the whole time.

[KDJCRH]

oops. sorrry bout that. lol. nice to meet you though

[obscureface]

aw he didn't rape the keyboard and smash of all the keys and stuff............

:(

[nekofucker]

trent is fucking amasing!!!! this is inspiring

[azrial4421]

Yeah Hes a brilliant artist, I dont like to crap on em just cause hes past their peak. Everyones a critic

[azrial4421]

Haha what a hypocrite, he use to like bashing bands for sounding to mainstream and cute. Here he sounds like duran duran and riding the coat tails of mainstream

[March3Yahoo]

At 2:10 he talked like Jimi Hendrix.

[fantazmacy]

aww gotta love the 80's

[angelforfreedom]

I miss his synth-pop and make-up days.

[March3Yahoo]

I bet if back then you told Trent that he'd be the greatest artist of an entire genre, he'd have said "Yeah, right". Now look at him, 20 years of the best music to come from his genre, yes that includes amazing remixing work.

[angelforfreedom]

...that's only a matter of perspective and preference, which can be biased due to generational conditioning. For example, in my opinion the best industrial music ever crafted was by Coil! I even like Coil more than I like Einsturzende Neubauten and Throbbing Gristle. Again, a matter of preference. Trent DEFINITELY is the MOST mainstream of his genre through. And I ain't hating on Trent - I have all of the Halo's (including parts 1, 2's and 3's; & international releases in various formats).

[azrial4421]

Are any of his new halos any good? I kinda gave up on him after with teeth, and then i heard that god awful survivalism.

[Qildaare]

Hot then, hot now, always a showman.

[6Ott7]

Trent used to be a fairy

[koshermal]

An awesome fairy.

[Revor8453]

And on drums, Dwight Schrute.

[Starhawke]

How the hell did you come across this archaic video?

[neonxkittie]

omg the trent stare ughhh and dont dry hump the keyboard, DRY HUMP ME!!!

[obscureface]

wow..................

your something!

[tom101086]

This is brilliant, better than that slam bamboo bollocks.

[IKCYSDMU]

oh...

well

[Intothevoid26]

funny glare

[clockwork11]

Damn, Trent was always really good on stage. It's nice to see how he cut his teeth before turning to the dark side

[Thermalfiredotcom]

Heeheeheeheeheehee

[RussX5Z]

Holy CRAP!!! I'm speechless!

[isimpson105]

Oh hell yes..

[vycadin]

good song btw.. i like trents version better than the orig.

[riotstick67]

You can see the fury lying beneath the surface.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@riotstick67 Exactly what I was thinking. He was getting more angry as the song went on.

[kappser]

The dance move at 1:40 is the greatest thing he's ever done.

[savagestar711]

I will always, always love this video and song! :D

[vintagetechnologize]

the guitarist looks kind of like Robin Finck, but I know it is not. dude is not bad on the strings though.

[vintagetechnologize]

WOW a damn mullet!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not the worst song in the world as Im sure Trent wants us to think. I actually thought it was a little catchy.

[theINSIDEout001]

Trent! Bring back the suit and feather mullet look! haha. I love this. Great to see the bright roots of NIN.

[VanityInPerson]

Haha, he was so young and pretty.

[Softykins]

He has a lot of sex appeal and he knows it. lol

[Softykins]

I LOVE THIS!!!

[sneauxangel]

Ya gotta love how he stares down the camera at 1:45 :)

[dafunk53]

So charming (obviouvsly referring to Trent!)!

[babymean]

that's pretty cool!

i love the way he grabs the mic...if you noticed he still grabs it the same way nowadays...somethings never change..haha

[deathzeath]

i should cover this

[scarymonster33]

yeah that's deffo Trent right there. some movies are 80s cheese but most of it is instantly recognizable as his NIN persona. I was intense even back then.

[mistermajestyck]

holy shit, I didn't know any video footage of Option 30 existed!

I actually like their version of Der Kommisar better than Falco's.

[GDGspire]

I can laugh at Gotta Look Sharp, but this is actually a really good song! I want it on my iPod.

Oh, and Trent is so adorable here. Never thought I'd say that about him ha.

[WPH15]

Wow, Trent Reznor singing an upbeat song.

[melodiouscanopies]

whoa, he's so intense, even in an upbeat song. Truly Trent!

[violationoftheart]

Nine Inch On The Block...lol

[yahbyj]

ohh so lovely!

[fetalalien1369]

Actually, I kind of like it.

[65692008]

he wants to look like such a serious artist that,instead,he seems pretty funny.

[loyalqueen]

man if there was a guy looking like that in school i would be obsessed with him. like one of those girls who have the biggest crushes in those silly teen movies

[eulogy46a2]

I love these old videos of trent...shows a true artist's progression

[rob5000x1]

thats scary...

[anthonykiedisbegod]

He made some of the same faces he makes now! Love it. He was hot even here ;)

[Trentholic92]

Everything you said is so true ^^

[scaredZero]

I actually really liked this.

[mr5elfde5truct]

lmao

[peziak]

Thank God I am not the only one who had a laugh at this. I especially love the mullet hair style.

[PandaVamp]

Aww! Seems like he has always been very sexy with that cute touch that melts.

Great song, btw!

[AnaTwiggy]

SO CUTE!

[Ludmi83]

This is fucking great!!

God he is toooo cuteee!!! Love him!

I love everything that he do, I mean this was the 80' and the band was pretty good.

[sheywey]

Look at Trent, how damn cute was he!!!!

I <3 him!!!!

[Salvador33HPR]

Even the King of Music has his humble beginnings, but this was still pretty good, admit it.

[arsenicandearlgrey]

Yeah. I'd still have banged him.

[hallenbeck84]

this song is fucking great

[savagestar711]

That's too cute! The song is not bad at all. I wonder if Trent imagined if he would ever be what he is today...

[hallenbeck84]

this is a masterpiece !!!

[hallenbeck84]

this song is fucking great...

[justice8424]

adorable

[TrenteSylphs]

oh geez... how adorable! haha..

n_n

[Broly245]

Truth is im not tryin to be mean but this song need better quality

[mrsmcmullen]

where did you get this video? Too Cool!

[bethmoorahpl]

Holy shit. I'm impressed. You know sometimes you see old videos of people that make you think, "Okay, if I ever meet them, I wont say anything about that so they don't cry." But it's really good, especially when you factor in the crappy sound, the age of the recordng, and the fact that they're in a bar or some place. And it's the 80's. I love him now, but I would have had a mad school-girl crush on him if I had gone to school with him too. He was fuckin cute.

[kat24101]

this is the most adorable thing ever. thank you

[deathzeath]

lol i'm turning into a fan boy
