Can anyone identify the origin of the claim that Jourgensen distorted Reznor's vocals? I've searched through a lot of interviews (particularly here), but haven't come across any first-person accounts of the distortion story. This, along with Jourgensen's quote, has lead me to believe it's probably an urban legend. If anyone has a citation that can confirm or deny its origin, it'd help improve the quality of the article.

For the record, I personally agree that it is Al singing, but since not everyone shares that opinion, the article should try to stay as NPOV as possible unless it's resolved. I'll list the reasons that I think it's the EP is not simply a distorted version of Trent's performance, and we can get a discussion going from there. (I'll refer to the Trent Reznor Vocal version as the "TRV vocals" and the EP version as the "EP vocals".)
So, that's what I see as the case against the Trent's-distorted-vocals story. I appologise that I don't have the software to make A/B comparisons like Twiin's above. I'd appreciate if anyone could be kind enough to put them together. I welcome any discussion and counter-examples that could help resolve this question. Rynne 02:38, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
Has NO-ONE heard bothered to listen to the re-recorded 100% sure it's Al's voice ministry version? (On the 2001 Ministry's Greatest Fits CD?) Compare THAT with the "distorted trent lyrics" version, and it's impossible not to hear that they are the SAME voice. Even the most cloth-eared Trent worshippers will realize it.

With all due respect, referring to other people as idiots is not constructive.
while i see that we have a primary source, i have another story for the name (and need to find a source as well).
Back in the late 80s, there was a dj only record company called Razormaid. they remixed/resequenced songs for djs, so that it was easier to play them in clubs. each issue was limited to a 1000 record pressing.
anyway, they were always pretty good about getting permission to tinker with a track -- usually from european sources. in the middle of one of their early vinyl series, they remixed a revco track (We Shall Cleanse the World), after getting permission from a european label.
alan heard it and freaked -- and then called waxtrax to hear what was what.
according to my story, his reply was: "chill out, alan. only 1000 homo djs will ever hear it, anyway." that, then, became the name of the band.
here's a quick source, though certainly not primary: [1] There are two different stories as to how this side-project came about... one is said that it was created through Al's distate of a poor mix of a Revolting Cocks song. Another was through his worry that the final mixes from THE LAND OF RAPE & HONEY would never see the light of day. Whichever story, thus was born that Jim Nash, co-founder of WaxTrax!, confided to him that "a thousand homo DJs would hear it!"

Has no one been able to procure this? Presumably, it is not Patty as someone would have sent an email or something. I have been in contact with Julia @ Wax Trax! over another matter, perhaps she might be able to enlighten me. She seems to know much of the story despite not founding the label. One consideration may be a possible anagram. 72.208.101.200 ( talk) 21:20, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
