Nine Inch Nails "Everything" sounds just like "Black Bomb" by Josh Wink

[Promethean]

Everything and Satellite were written for the contractually-obligated greatest hits records Trent owes Universal. While he owes them this greatest hits album, they have zero sway over what kind of music he writes. .

Wouldn't a contract to write new songs for a Greatest Hits record essentially constitute 'pressure to write a poppy hit'?

Also, someone posted a link to a song called 'Black Bomb (Jerry In The Bag) Feat.Trent Reznor' by Josh Wink. I fucking love this song! It's obviously a precursor to Year Zero. Frankly the song should be a Nine Inch Nails song featuring Josh Wink as all Wink did apparently is add some DJ noodling at the beginning and end. How this song got past me I'll never know.....I had no idea as to it's existence. Talk about hit.....this would have been one. Would have been big in the clubs too. It' pisses me off sometimes that Trent does some of his best work outside of NIN records What I wouldn't give for a record of Black Bombs and Tetsuos.

Well, certainly not for Columbia Records. What I got from what you were implying was that it would have been a requirement of Columbia Records that NIN include a 'poppy hit' on the album, when in fact it was Trent who approached Columbia with a finished record, among the songs on it was a song that began its life as "the new song for the greatest hits album" ...and then Columbia licensed the whole album for distribution, taking it at face value for what it was. Not pressuring anyone for a poppy hit.


Also, someone posted a link to a song called 'Black Bomb (Jerry In The Bag) Feat.Trent Reznor' by Josh Wink. I fucking love this song! It's obviously a precursor to Year Zero.

Something else that got past you: Trent Reznor didn't do any of the music in Black Bomb. That's Josh's cat making all those weird noises. If you want more Black Bombs, maybe check out the rest of that album. Maybe you like it so much, you'd even buy it and send some money Josh's way. Josh did the music, sent a tape to Trent, who basically rearranged it and added vocals. It's funny how you say you didn't know anything about Black Bomb until yesterday, and yet somehow you're proclaiming "all Wink did was add some noodling at the beginning and end" as if you're some kind of expert. You're coming off like a blowhard.

Here's a quote from a live-wire review about that album, circa 1998:

Other accidents include "Sixth Sense," which features horrid spoken word by that crazy Ursula Rucker, and the god-awful "Black Bomb," in which Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor takes on vocal duties.

Here's Alternative Press:

What's the point of bringing in Trent Reznor to sing on the cheesy hate anthem "Black Bomb (Jerry In The Bag)" other than to prove to small-minded NIN fans that Wink can also, like, get down and dirty in the same formulaic way that Trent can?

Yes, that's right, in 1998, Alternative Press was calling Nine Inch Nails formulaic. All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EternalRecurrence).

Here's Spin:

One track that might prick up the ears of the wallet-chain masses (& potentially tick off techno purists) is the unnerving "black bomb (jerry in the bag)," an industrial-tinged panic-attack featuring vocals by trent reznor. Wink says it's not a blatant commercial move, that he always envisioned the song with lyrics, & reznor is simply someone he respects. The collaboration is a real coup, but wink has rebuffed any suggestions to release "black bomb" as a single. "i don't want to," he says tersely. "i just don't."

Even in 1998, including Trent Reznor on your obscure electronic music DJ release was seen as a commercial move. I guess Nine Inch Nails was just too pop!

Leviathant.....do you mind if I call you asshole instead? I doubt you're a sea monster, but I'm pretty sure you are an asshole. Asshole, there is nothing in Alex Wink's catalog that even sounds remotely like Black Bomb, not even on the record 'herehear', which like everything Wink records sounds like ambient house music. Funny then that this one song of Wink's sounds just like a NIN song huh? Here's what NIN Wiki sez:

Black Bomb (Jerry In The Bag) is a song by Wink, written by and featuring the vocals of Trent Reznor (http://www.ninwiki.com/Trent_Reznor).

The song featured on Wink's 1998 album "Herehear", and gave credits to Reznor under "vocals and additional stuff".

I'll have to go in and fix that entry, because whoever wrote it didn't have their facts straight. It's all good though, because I'm an admin on NIN Wiki. I by no means run it, but I talk to the guy who does. Every. Day. You know who might know more than a casual editor of a fan-run wiki? An asshole who has been reporting on NIN news since 1997 (http://theninhotline.net/news/archives/), who's copied a thousand articles (http://theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/list_articles.php) into his own database, read thousands more, and who has the contents of Interscope's Nine Inch Nails press archive from 1994-1996 sitting in a box in his closet. (A donation, not something I sought out.) Maybe someone who first heard The Fragile when Trent sent him a signed copy (http://www.nincatalog.com/item.asp?key=01-01441) before it was out. I mean, we're scratching the surface here. When USA Today and KROQ LA wanted to talk to someone about the Year Zero ARG, they called me.

Maybe I'm not being an asshole, maybe you're upset that I publicly corrected some misconceptions you publicly had, and you're butthurt.

Or maybe you're right about this Wink song, and I'm an asshole that doesn't know what I'm talking about.

I mean, if you'd called me a loser who knows way entirely too much about Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor, you'd be spot on. But you're trying to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about on matters relating to Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor. And now you're doing it with bravado.

This isn't a contest, man. All I'm saying is you're wrong. You can take my word for it, or you can keep Googling and hoping you're not wrong. But you'll find out you're wrong.

[chroipahtz]

I don't know anything about Josh Wink or Black Bomb, but ninwiki isn't exactly a reliable, irrefutable resource. Especially on an article as obscure as that where it would rarely be seen or challenged.

Edit: Not disparaging ninwiki here, but it's a wiki for crying out loud.

[sheepdean]

Leviathant - it DOES say "additional stuff" in the liner notes, but Promethean that DOESN'T refer to music. ( http://www.discogs.com/Wink-Herehear/release/794933 )

Black Bomb (Jerry In The Bag) is a song by Wink, written by and featuring the vocals of Trent Reznor (http://www.ninwiki.com/Trent_Reznor).

Now please link me to the music of Josh Wink that sounds anything like Black Bomb. Thanx in advance.

Sorry dude, i havent listened to Josh Wink since like 95. But im pretty sure TR hasnt used cheesy preset drum machine turntable sounds since the 80's. But im sure someone will post a link to prove me wrong.....let the games begin.

[Promethean]

Maybe I'm not being an asshole, maybe you're upset that I publicly corrected some misconceptions you publicly had, and you're butthurt..

Are you talking about me Asshole? Or you? I seem to remember you responding to my query by calling me a blowhard. So who was it that was wrong? You. You were wrong. Who was it who got butthurt? You. You got butthurt. I'm still waiting for links to alllllllll that music by Josh Wink that sounds like Black Bomb and not ambient house music. I guess Wink must have been working on that ONE SONG THAT SOUNDS LIKE NIN for years, just waiting for the possibility of working with Trent Reznor. Right asshole? You been researching and reading NIN for decades but you're too stupid to recognize a NIN song when you hear it. Also Asshole, Trent wrote 'Hurt', not Johnny Cash.

What does it refer to broken? Please provide links to music made my Josh Wink that sounds like Black Bomb and not ambient house. Thanx in advance.

We're just supposed to believe that an artist who never once made music that sounded like NIN, not even close, suddenly makes a song that sounds like NIN, coincidentally just when he collaborates w/ TR. Yeah right.

It's acid house, not ambient house, get your genres right man.

And from what I know, Wink wrote a track, couldn't get a decent singer and his manager said "this Trent guy is good". Apparently Wink wasn't even really into NIN. Trent rolled up, laid down the vocals and collected his $5 and milkshake.

Also, people are claiming that Everything doesn't sound like NIN. Does that mean someone else had a hand in it or does it mean musicians can sometimes step out of their comfort zones? Maybe Trent AND Josh are both able to make music that doesn't always sound the same?

The clasically trained musician, who can play piano, clarinet, guitar and drums, who uses complex samples and intentional mistakes to create music through chaos within his music? Yes, Josh Wink is incapable of anything but house because that's the genre he's chosen. Clearly.

I like to think he's an evil twin, a sort of Shadow-Wink whom Josh Wink must defeat so he can continue his DJ noodling in peace.

I don't know about how hard it is to make an imitation of Nine Inch Nails. I mean, Weird Al did a pretty good job with that Germs song.

Also, I heard if you take Josh Wink's new song "Balls," slow it down 15 bpm, run it through a bitcrusher, and sing something like "I fade away, in the day, so stay away, from the fray" on top of it, it suddenly "sounds like NIN."

[Promethean]

JOSH WROTE THE FUCKING SONG BEFORE TRENT GOT INVOLVED.

He is not capable of writing a song like Black Bomb. He is a house artist. Trent wrote the music, Wink added the DJ noodling.

Promethean - tell you what. Next time I talk to Trent, maybe when he's in Philadelphia (Hell, maybe Alex Josh will be at the show, it's his home turf), I'll ask him about Black Bomb. He's going to say "Josh sent me this track, I edited it some, and added singing to it. He thought the vocals were too high, and mixed them back down."

It's okay if you don't like "Everything."

Agreed. The everything thread smells alot better now (which isnt very good to begin with). Fuck i hate that i am TR video. It reduces NIN to a simple formula which isnt the case. If it were, we would have a new album every two years. I know its a joke, but fuck man. The only song that sounds like is my violent heart, for like a minute and a half.

I do like Everything, just not all of it. I'm still waiting for someone, anyone, to show me ANYTHING from Josh Wink's catalog that sounds remotely like Nine Inch Nails so I might believe he actually wrote Black Bomb. Not all NIN music sounds alike, neither do all Bruce Springsteen songs, but you damn well know it's Bruce Springsteen when you hear it. Black Bomb was clearly written by Reznor. For those lacking common sense: two artists worked on a song. The song sounds like something from one artists catalog, but sounds nothing like the other artists catalog. Logic and reason would demand that the song was mostly a result of the artist who's catalog of music it most closely resembles. The lack of reading comprehension and reasoning capacity on this thread is mind numbing. Leviathant or Asshole, whichever you prefer......YOU ARE KING OF THE NIN FANS, mmmmmmkaaaaaaaay? No one's trying to take that away from you little buddy.

[Promethean]

It wasn't really Black Bomb, it was the attitude of the guy pushing it.

I believe the phrase is 'butthurt'. You were butthurt!

[Mark Fraser]

95% of Black Bomb sounds nothing like NIN has ever produced.

There are some unique sounds within the song that sound very Trent like, but the song as a whole is nothing like anything Trent has ever done - especially at that time.

To me, it sounds like a song that Wink wrote and shipped over to Trent to do the vocals and a bit of polishing - which is exactly what our dear leader is telling us.

[Promethean]

Oh Asshole, you had start a new thread with a misleading header to make yourself not look like a butthurt, pissy bitch who knows a lot less about Nine Inch Nails than you claim. How utterly charming!

Does it sound like anything Josh Wink has recorded? Please include links if so.

I heard Obama's birth certificate isn't legit because it was signed by Trent Reznor while he was at a One Direction concert.

[KarenLeslie]

For those lacking common sense: two artists worked on a song. The song sounds like something from one artists catalog, but sounds nothing like the other artists catalog. Logic and reason would demand that the song was mostly a result of the artist who's catalog of music it most closely resembles.

Logic fails when it's based on a bunch of questionable assumptions. Your questionable assumptions include:

1)There is some kind of definable "I know it when I hear it" NIN sound (many people don't think so, especially when the catalog includes stuff as diverse as Happiness in Slavery and Leaving Hope.)
2) Black Bomb sounds a lot like a NIN song (many people don't think so)
3) Josh Wink is physically, genetically incapable of writing a song that sounds anything like this alleged NIN-brand sound (many people don't think so, plus, ILLOGICAL; how can you know what he is and isn't capable of writing?)
4) Trent would let Wink take primary writing credit for a song that he himself wrote all of for (checks watch) 15 years- doesn't sound like a very T-Rez thing to do.

I'm not overly concerned about Black Bomb or whatever else is being argued over, I'm just pointing this out because you seem to like to think of yourself as a man of logic; you won't get credit for producing supposed logical arguments when these arguments depend entirely on priori conditions that are either tenuous or illogical in and of themselves. It's a good thing to learn, whatever the provocation.

That artwork was obviously created by Trent Reznor, and Wink just did some doodling at the beginning and end.

Promethean you never actually addressed this whilst claiming Wink can't do anything but House, you just asked for links whilst ignoring the actual context
The clasically trained musician, who can play piano, clarinet, guitar and drums, who uses complex samples and intentional mistakes to create music through chaos within his music? Yes, Josh Wink is incapable of anything but house because that's the genre he's chosen. Clearly.

[Promethean]

No one has provided a link to music by Wink that sounds anything other than ambient house. Since no one can provide proof, it must accepted that no proof exists. I'm arguing with people who know nothing about music, and for the most part don't even like NIN, but I'm bored.

[sheepdean]

...I think I know a little about music, and I think I like NIN.

Josh Wink. Classically trained musician. Can play many instruments including clarinet (which is a sign he's not just pressing buttons). Uses complex musical techniques in his chosen genre. What makes you think he can only do one genre? If Bruce Springsteen put out a rap record, would you say it was impossible as he'd never tried that before, rather than accepting some musicians elect to play in one genre most of the time? Trent, for example, has chosen pop-metal, and that has worked wonders for him.

The first fucking song on the album, "Back in tha Day" sounds nothing "like his usual acid house" style. There's more to "acid house" than using a 303 for the bassline, but since you probably have no idea what that is, just take my word for it. Also, check out the last song on the album, "Simple Man."

But just so we're clear, you're 100% sure of trent writing most of the music on a hunch?

i just can't believe you don't understand that it's not possible that wink decided to write a song and hoped trent reznor would guest on it. with that in mind, it's possible wink created music that deliberately lived in that world or was suited towards it DESPITE the fact that he hadn't experimented with that sound before. you don't know what the original track sounded like, or how the collaboration came to be, or what assistance was lended by reznor(well now we know more, thanks to @untoldlb (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=827).), so don't come off like an expert on the situation and get aggressive with the ONE person that might have an idea.

regardless of how it all went down, just because wink has stuck to his guns and made a certain type of sound for the majority of his career doesn't mean he's incapable of working in another medium. people don't just fit so neatly into the little boxes you want them to, especially when it comes to art. it's fucking insulting and ignorant to assume that because someone operates in genre doesn't mean they can't step outside of it if they wish to.

long story short, you weren't there, you aren't either party or affiliated with anyone who had a hand in this song, so please stop making broad, sweeping, ignorant generalizations that imply that you know anything about this song outside of having a vivid imagination and a pair of ears. speculate all you like, but you're just going to have to take the official word about the subject until someone with the authority to do so can support your claims. otherwise, your continued rantings about this subject are frustrating for everyone.

PROMOTHEAN:

http://dancemusic.about.com/cs/interviews/a/IntJoshWinkDave_3.htm


DMA: Speaking of "Black Bomb" how did the cameo appearance from Trent Reznor come about?
WINK: Originally, it was a track that I was playing out on DAT in the middle of my set to throw a wrench into things like I like to do. People were always running up to me wondering what the track was seeing that it was slow but it had good dynamics in it. I figured that I wanted to take the song to the next level and that because it was kinda electro-ish hip hoppy, that I would get Kool Keith from the Ultramagnetic MC's on it. We all worked it out and I was going to fly out to San Francisco and do this and in the midst of getting all this information about when I was going to go out, nobody knew where he was. His management didn't know where he was, nobody knew where he was. I didn't have time to screw around so someone suggested a couple of other singers and Trent's name came up. So I sent it to him and our A+R person at Columbia Jason Jordan knew a friend of Trent's, so he got in touch with his friend and found out Trent was interested in doing it and I sent him the ADAT and he did it. I never went down there and he didn't come up here. His crew took care of things down there and we sent tape between each other and he did his thing and I did my thing from there.

Your reading comprehension has failed you yet again. I asked for examples of NIN like songs from Wink. No example has yet to be proffered. Try again.

You can scroll down and look under vocal contributions.

Vocals not in question, primary song writing is in question.

Someone ban @Leviathant (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=1) for not accepting that Trent wrote Dead Souls and Ian Curtis had a time machine

So sez the confused darling who wrote the NIN wiki entry for Black Bomb which backs up my assertion but claims she didn't write it, or can't remember, or did you forget to take your meds, or......

i made both of these songs. i did everything in both of them (except the backing screams in "devils").

you tell me how they sound anything alike. please.

then you're not able to read, or maybe not able to understand what you read.


WINK: Originally, it was a track that I was playing out on DAT in the middle of my set to throw a wrench into things like I like to do. People were always running up to me wondering what the track was seeing that it was slow but it had good dynamics in it. figured that I wanted to take the song to the next level and that because it was kinda electro-ish hip hoppy, that I would get Kool Keith from the Ultramagnetic MC's on it.

[sheepdean]

Because Promethean considers my ninwiki entries to be the only proof needed, I also did this http://www.ninwiki.com/Black_Bomb_(Jerry_In_The_Bag)#Trent.27s_involvemen t

[Promethean]

'His crew took care of things down there and we sent tape between each other and he did his thing and I did my thing from there. '

Which proves my point that TR did more than just sing vocals.

No one has provided a link to music by Wink that sounds anything other than ambient house.


The fact that no one here can find anything other than house music from Josh Wink?

...and, just in case you missed it, go back up and read the post from @untoldlb (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=827)

no, it doesn't prove that he "wrote it" at all. In fact, it proves pretty much THE OPPOSITE of that.

COMPREHENSION CAPS ON EVERYBODY!!!!


Josh Wink didn't have much time to chat. The Philadelphia-based DJ and electronic dance artist (whose fans include U2 and David Bowie) was on a set in New York taping the video for "Simple Man," the new single from his album Herehear (Ovum/Ruffhouse/Columbia), both of which are due June 16.

"I was very happy doing instrumentals," Wink said of his previous work. "But with [Herehear], I wanted to get to the next level."

To get to that level, Wink began writing songs with vocals. And to bring it off, he recruited the likes of Nine Inch Nails singer Trent Reznor, This Mortal Coil's Caroline Crawley and Philly poet Ursula Rucker.

The result is an album that, in fact, works on many levels. Herehear jumps from one extreme to the next, from the rap-like "Sixth Sense" to the pulsing dance-rock of "Simple Man." Reznor is in the middle of it all, providing menacing, Ozzy Osbourne-like vocals to the industrial pounder "Black Bomb (Jerry In The Bag)."

Yet all of these musical twists and moods flow seamlessly into each other. Wink's nip-and-tuck production has created a sonic seesaw that somehow stays balanced.

"I wanted to write songs," Wink said. "[I hadn't written for] vocals before; I just wrote synth lines. But this did work. [The lyricists] interpreted what I produced. They played the tracks over their lyrics."

Wrong again Einstein. Reznor did more than vocals, it's filed under 'additional things'.

Stop bringing your fucking garbage into this topic. You literally have an entire topic dedicated to your mindless blathering.

[KarenLeslie]

Wrong again Einstein. Reznor did more than vocals, it's filed under 'additional things'.

It proves the song existed before Trent ever got a hold of it, THEREFORE, Trent couldn't have written it. Sang on it yes, maybe threw in some tambourine goodness for all we know, but he DID NOT WRITE IT. That's what I believe Jinsai was pointing out.

[Jinsai]

Wrong again Einstein. Reznor did more than vocals, it's filed under 'additional things'.

You're claiming he wrote it. The primary songwriter is never credited with "additional things" in the liner notes, especially when someone else's name is listed right next to it as "written by."

Give it up. You lost this argument to empirical evidence... in a manner so spectacularly conclusive it's kind of astonishing that you're still talking.

This is the most amazing thread ever. Like, in the history of this website. It's like that time some guy told Kevin Rose that he must be new to Digg, cause he didn't know how it worked. I'm kind of in awe of it.

[frankie teardrop]

'additional things' could boil down to making suggestions, minor tweaks, adding distortion to the drums, and so on and so forth. none of which amount to the giant leaps and bounds you've made to assume reznor wrote the track completely. you're being given concrete PROOF that this a wink creation, recorded with the similar bomb squad-esque production as a means for wink to step outside of his boundaries, as the rest of the record explores other genres outside of his usual style.

really, all you have is some far-fetched speculation that goes against rigid fact, and yet you still rage on about this as if your theory is gospel. for someone who keeps calling people assholes who haven't taken their medication, you sure project a lot.

EDIT: Now that I read this post, that sounds like an alright Wednesday.

[Leviathant]

You guys can't prove the track he was playing during his live sets wasn't just some DJ noodling. He sent the tape to Trent, who then crammed all the music in the middle.

For whatever reason, probably because TR and I were born 24hrs apart, new NIN has always hit me emotionally in the right place at the right time. "Find My Way" is hitting me particularly hard as it perfectly fits where I am in life, moving and starting life over......again. Too old to start over but here I go, and this song is making me want to cry.

"she" is also 48 years old and from the sounds of it, most likely divorced.

SHOCKING.

Considering Black Bomb came out 10 years before the album that sounds like Black Bomb, I feel like Promethean and ALL OF US (he's got brain damage, what's our excuse?) missed the obvious conclusion: Josh Wink wrote Year Zero.

Hey, prometeus is ridiculous and insane, but let's not be sexist or anything.

[ultimatebdp]

I can't believe there's around 200 posts on a thread about an old song that rrrrrrrreally sucks. Jesus. In the history of this song, there have been more discussions about it TODAY than ever before. Even Josh Wink's mom wouldn't give this much of a shit. And it doesn't even sound like "Everything" to begin with.

Josh Wink. Classically trained musician. Can play many instruments including clarinet (which is a sign he's not just pressing buttons).

I played the clarinet for close to 10 years so I think it's time to come clean: I'm the mysterious Alex Wink. I'm a fraternal twin to Josh but we're born from different mothers (don't ask, it's complicated). I wrote Black Bomb with Trent under circumstances I can't clearly recall because my brain is fried from an overlong usage of caffeine, courtesy of a mostly reviled coffee place that I will not name in this thread.

I apologized for all the brouhaha this has caused.

*hugs monitor*

I love you, ETS.

[Promethean]

Pussy whipped bitch.

[mfte]

I can't tell if this thread is a joke or not.

I used to have the Sep 98 issue of Future Music Magazine where Josh Wink was interviewed. I am paraphrasing here since it's been a long time... When asked about Black Bomb he said that it was something he had lying around and used to drop in the middle of his DJ sets. Since the 80something BPM track was significantly different, kids used to run up on him after and ask what the hell that was. He then decided to give it a proper release. He sent it over to Trent who laid down the vocals and added his own production to them.
