Trent Reznor

The only known performance of any Tapeworm material was of Keenan's other band, A Perfect Circle performing the song "Vacant" on tour in 2001. "Vacant" appears on A Perfect Circle's third album eMOTIVe, reworked and retitled "Passive". His wife thought his death might have been related to his recent use of the prescription drug Prozac. A collaboration with Danny Lohner, Maynard James Keenan of Tool, and Atticus Ross of 12 Rounds known as Tapeworm was in production for almost ten years, but an update on the official Nine Inch Nails website has declared that the project has been terminated. On February 8, 1990, while working on a comeback album with Jeff Lynne, Shannon fatally shot himself in the head with a .22 calibre rifle. He has also worked with David Bowie, Pigface, Marilyn Manson, The Neptunes, 1000 Homo DJs, and Peter Gabriel. He finally put the bottle down in 1978, and he was able to return to mainstream audiences with "Sea of Love" in the early 1980s (from an album produced by Tom Petty). Trent has collaborated with such artists as Tori Amos, adding backing vocals to "Past the Mission" from Under the Pink. In the 1970s, Shannon's career slowed down greatly; the hates and fears he had turned into art in his earlier songs were turning into full-blown mental illness, and he was self-medicating with alcohol.

Or get your shit together.'". Shannon returned to the charts in 1964 with "Keep Searching", followed by "Stranger in Town," both songs about flight from pursuit in a dangerous world. I had to slap myself in the face: 'If you want to kill yourself, do it, save everybody the fucking hassle. In 1963, he became the first American artist to record a cover of a Beatles song with "From Me to You". In a 1999 interview for Rolling Stone magazine, he said that "It just took me time to sit down and change my head and my life around. After these hits, Shannon was unable to keep his momentum in the US, but became a sensation in England. It was reported that Reznor had considered committing suicide during this period. Del Shannon (December 30, 1934–February 8, 1990) (born Charles Weedon Westover) was an American rock and roller who launched into fame with the huge hit "Runaway" (1961), which he followed up with "Hats Off to Larry", another big hit, and the less popular "So Long, Baby", another song of breakup bitterness.

He has been reported to be suffering from bipolar disorder. During the five years between his albums The Downward Spiral (1994) and The Fragile (1999), Trent Reznor struggled with depression, writer's block, and the death of his grandmother. Chris Vrenna, former drummer for Nine Inch Nails, produced the music for Doom 3 with his partner Clint Walsh. The original audio files can be found on the internet, although they are not officially endorsed by Reznor or id software.

However, due to "time, money, and bad management" he had to abandon this project, and his audio work did not make it into the game's release. Trent returned to work with id Software in 2003 as the sound engineer for video game Doom 3. (As a side-note, the NIN logo also appears on the nailgun ammo boxes in Quake). He also created the soundtrack for id Software's hit Quake.

Reznor likes video games, most notably Doom by id Software, which he has said he played in the Nine Inch Nails tour bus after doing shows. Reznor was the credited producer for Marilyn Manson's albums Portrait of an American Family (1994), Smells Like Children (1995), and Antichrist Superstar (1996), as well as the soundtrack for the film Natural Born Killers. His latest album, "With Teeth", is expected to be released on 3 May 2005. Subsequent works include 1992's eight song EP "Broken", 1994's "The Downward Spiral" and 1999's "The Fragile".

TVT Records signed Trent Reznor, and in 1989 he released "Pretty Hate Machine", Nine Inch Nails' first album. Until recently, he had lived in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 2004, he stated he will have nothing more to do with the label. He released most of his work under his former record label, Nothing Records.
