===Collaboration with other artists===
[[File:Trent Reznor Self-Destruct.jpg|thumb|Reznor performing during the Self-Destruct tour, 1994–1995]]
One of Reznor's earliest collaborations was a [[Ministry (band)|Ministry]] side project in 1990 under the name of [[1000 Homo DJs]]. Reznor sang vocals on a cover of [[Black Sabbath]]'s "[[Supernaut (EP)|Supernaut]]". Due to legal issues with his label, Reznor's vocals had to be distorted to make his voice unrecognizable. The band also recorded additional versions with [[Al Jourgensen]] doing vocals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/1000+Homo+DJs|title=1000 Homo DJs Discography at Discogs|publisher=Discogs.com|access-date=2012-02-13|archive-date=February 8, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208034426/http://www.discogs.com/artist/1000+Homo+DJs|url-status=live}}</ref> While there is still debate as to which version is Reznor and which is Jourgensen, it has been definitively stated that Reznor's vocals were used in the [[TVT Records]]' ''Black Box'' box set.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://allmusic.com/album/black-box-waxtrax-records--the-first-13-years-r209175|title=Black Box: WaxTrax!

He said: "I saw a whole side of humanity that I didn't know existed. It was decadence on a new level, but with a sense of humor."<ref>''[[Select (magazine)|Select]]'', March 1991.</ref>

Reznor sang the vocals on the 1991 Pigface track "Suck" from their first album ''[[Gub]]'', which also featured production work from [[Steve Albini]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.popmatters.com/189190-caught-in-the-machine-nine-inch-nails-suck-2495576689.html |title=Caught in the Machine: Nine Inch Nails – "Suck" |work=[[PopMatters]] |date=December 15, 2014 |access-date=March 28, 2020 |first=AJ |last=Ramirez |archive-date=March 11, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200311115355/https://www.popmatters.com/189190-caught-in-the-machine-nine-inch-nails-suck-2495576689.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Reznor sang backing vocals on "Past the Mission" on [[Tori Amos]]' 1994 album ''[[Under the Pink]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=1994: The 40 Best Records From Mainstream Alternative's Greatest Year|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/1994-the-40-best-records-from-mainstream-alternatives-greatest-year-20140417/tori-amos-under-the-pink-19691231|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=December 6, 2014|date=April 17, 2014|archive-date=November 25, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141125142144/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/1994-the-40-best-records-from-mainstream-alternatives-greatest-year-20140417/tori-amos-under-the-pink-19691231|url-status=live}}</ref> He produced [[Marilyn Manson]]'s first album, ''[[Portrait of an American Family]]'' (1994), and several tracks on Manson's ''[[Smells Like Children]]'' (1995) and ''[[Antichrist Superstar]]'' (1996). "I went right into doing a Manson record," Reznor recalled of the latter, "which was a way of staying on tour, mentally. Every night was some ridiculous scenario. When that finished, I was really in a low emotional place, disillusioned."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Paul|last=Elliott|title=Going Down…|magazine=[[Kerrang!]]|date=25 September 1999|page=14}}</ref>

Relations between Reznor and Manson subsequently soured. Manson later said: "I had to make a choice between being friends and having a mediocre career, or breaking things off and continuing to succeed. It got too competitive. And he can't expect me not to want to be more successful than him."<ref>{{cite magazine |last= Collins |first= Andrew |author-link=Andrew Collins (broadcaster)|date= November 1998 |title= And The Freak Shall Inherit The Earth |magazine=[[Q (magazine)|Q]] |issue=146}}</ref>

In the video for David Bowie's "[[I'm Afraid of Americans]]" (1997), Reznor plays a stalker who shows up wherever Bowie goes. In a 2016 ''Rolling Stone'' article after Bowie's death, Reznor recalled how touring with Bowie in 1995–96 inspired Reznor to stay sober.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/trent-reznor-recalls-how-david-bowie-helped-him-get-sober-229659/|title=Trent Reznor Recalls How David Bowie Helped Him Get Sober|first1=Trent|last1=Reznor|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=January 26, 2016|access-date=March 28, 2020|archive-date=January 1, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200101144355/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/trent-reznor-recalls-how-david-bowie-helped-him-get-sober-229659/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Reznor appeared in a live performance with [[Fleetwood Mac]]'s [[Lindsey Buckingham]], Dave Grohl, and Queens of the Stone Age at the [[56th Annual Grammy Awards|2014 Grammy Award ceremony]]. In an interview with a [[New Zealand]] media outlet, Reznor explained his thought process at the time that he was considering his participation in the performance:

{{cquote|I spent a long time talking about the pros and cons. You know, "Do we want to be on a shit show on TV?" No, not really. "Do we want to be affiliated with the Grammys?" No, not really. "Would we like to reach a large audience and actually do something with integrity on our terms?" Well, yeah.
