In 1993, the band signed to [[Nothing Records]] after correspondance with [[Trent Reznor]], who was impressed by their music. Reznor had a heavy hand in producing the 1994 record ''Portrait of an American Family'' and many members of [[Nine Inch Nails]] performed and co-wrote songs featured on 1996's ''Antichrist Superstar.'' Reznor also produced EPs, single tracks, and remixes in between these records.

Reznor and Manson are rumored to have fought over control and musical differences prior to the recording of ''Mechanical Animals,'' causing a rift in their friendship and a series of media feuds, but resolved it prior to the "[[Starfuckers, Inc. (song)#Music Video|Starfuckers, Inc." video]], in which Manson appeared in and directed. The two performed the song live in New York City at Madison Square Garden in 2000. However, recent interviews have indicated that the two are up to old tricks again.

This is a jab at Manson, who did a straight-forward cover of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus." "Personal Jesus" has been covered by numerous other artists including [[Johnny Cash]].

==Fallout with Marilyn Manson==

In 1997, [[Marilyn Manson]] was tapped to produce the soundtrack to the film ''Lost Highway.'' Reznor would end up getting the job, a move that Manson found hard to forgive. Over the next two years, Reznor and Manson exchanged harsh words but in 2000 they seemed to reconcile their differences, citing what they perceived as a threat to modern music: the resurgence of boy bands and the rise of "nü-metal."

The first sign of this reconciliation was Manson's presence and co-directing credit for Nine Inch Nails' "Starfuckers, Inc." music video. Later that year, Manson made a surprise appearance at Nine Inch Nails' concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City, joining the band at the end of "Starfuckers, Inc." before performing "[[The Beautiful People (song)|The Beautiful People]]." The reconciliation did not last long, however, as soon after, they were once again exchanging barbs at each other through the press and their websites.

Reznor and Manson continue their feud. Reznor has called Manson "unhealthy to be around" while Manson doesn't understand why they're fighting but adds that he's more "dangerous" than Reznor despite Reznor's muscle gain in recent years. It is widely believed that Manson's drug and alcohol consumption are a major factor in Reznor's unwillingness to reconcile.

Recently in early 2009, Trent was quoted calling Manson a "dopey clown" and that his skills and wits of writing have been dulled due to substance abuse, though firmly believes he has a good talent. Manson responded by making a passing mention and a joke about the nickname later on in the summer in an interview.
