Before They Were Goth Stars

Hey, it's Trent Reznor covering Thompson Twins' "Lies."

OK, 18-year-old Trent Reznor.

It was his first band Option 30. More info and tunes at Passenger 86.

That's one option I think we can all take a pass on.

Styles change and people experiment with many styles. This photo is rather surreal compared to his modern image but just imagine if some of our old photos came up! I was a complate gother with Cleopatra eyeliner and my Docs.In my Sisters of Mercy, Lords of Acid, Dying Swans, Cure and Rosetta Stone days.I can't imagine showing a photo of that to my students. LOL.

funny shit- but even more entertaining is the cover of Der Kommissar- actually they did good covers as stupid as it sounds now.

This is the Trent Reznor I love. This needs to come back. As much as I like NIN, this...this is gold!
