madison Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 DATE: July 2009 IssueSOURCE: Mojo magazineNIN's Trent Reznor gave an extensive interview to Mojo Magazine, where he talked about his life, music and thoughts about the changing music industry. Here is the excerpt that mentions Axl:Reznor explains that he wants to be a leader for peers through example and believes the most interesting way to do that right now is on-line, not on-stage. Then he laughs at the pretentious sound of this statement. "I'm not an idiot, I swear. I'm not some fucking Axl Rose!" he smiles. Clearly the man who wrote Hurt is feeling pretty good."I've always been drawn to some sort of hook. And theatrical things, a sense of art direction: Gene Simmons was a big influence. I am truly embarrassed to say that now, with what he's become. He's a corny, jive, ridiculous person who embodies everything that I despise in the music industry. It's not about art or even quality, it's about the product for sale."http://cover.mojo4music.com/Item.aspx?page...1&year=2009 Related forum discussion:http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=149752 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
