"The Crow" (1994) | Nine Inch Nails, Joy Division, James O' Barr

A History of Rock n' Roll in Film and Rock n' Roll

Here we go! The beginning of The Crow saga I've been working toward for a couple of years. I had big plans to cover more bands from the soundtrack, but after learning what I learned about O'Barr and Reznor's mutual love for Joy Division, I decided to take this route. Please enjoy hearing about:

• Trent Reznor's Cleveland cover band years, becoming a roadie for The Revolting Cocks and making Pretty Hate Machine for TVT Records
• James O'Barr's early life, tragic loss of his fiancee, joining up with the Marines, creating and publishing The Crow
• Joy Division's origin story in Manchester, starting with the early Sex Pistols gigs they all went to and how they snagged Ian Curtis, and developed their early sound
