06 May Trent Reznor Disses Prince And Rivers Cuomo
Trent Reznor File Photo
While Dr. FB is out practicing his golfing skills, I thought I’d post something that is sure to spark up a good conversation.
Just recently Trent sat down with Digg.com founder Kevin Rose to answer some of his user’s top questions. The interview was very interesting but in the end Nine Inch Nails fans felt misrepresented , so they (as any unhappy fans would do), took to the message boards and complained.
Reznor responded by offering NIN.com users their own Digg-Style interview and this time the singer wasn’t holding back.
“I’m not Prince or Rivers Cuomo who brags about having hundreds of great songs. And to that I would say, Prince, if you have a hundred great songs or a thousand, how about picking a few and putting them on your record that you’ve put out because your last several have sucked. Same for you, Rivers. I say that constructively, you know”.
Constructive Criticism, you know……

Posted at 22:13h, 01 Novemberprince hasn’t been innovative since around the world in a day & parade w/ the revolution. And as for weezer, well I’d say it’s pretty easy to tell that they’ve been shit post blue album. I mean have you hear their new single “memories” or whatever? just fucking awful. trent has more talent and originality in the head of his penis than ever member of weezer put together.
Oh and debbie maybe step out from under that rock of yours, trent reznor has been a HUGE name in the music industry for over a decade

Posted at 00:14h, 30 MayI think what Trent was trying to say is this :
“I’m not Prince or Rivers Cuomo who has hundreds of great songs. And to that I would say, Prince, if you have a hundred great songs or a thousand, how about picking a few and putting them on my record because your last several albums have made mine sound like shit . Same for you, Rivers. I say that constructively, you know”.
What do u guys think…. 🙂

Posted at 00:36h, 08 MayWhen did NIN do anything at all relevant? The song “Closer”? and nothing since. He calls his music “industrial”, just what the hell does that mean anyway?

Posted at 09:55h, 07 MayI’m surprised at Trent Reznor’s musical ignorance in saying this.
The ‘Lotusflow3r’ album alone stands up 2 any album Prince has ever recorded, and I go WAYYY back.

Posted at 08:44h, 07 MayThat was not constructive criticism. In fact, I don’t know what that was. Trent is cool for doing his own thing but I must ask, who’s checking for new NIN anyways? When was the last time they came out with a new CD? Prince has debuted in the top 3 with every release for the last 5 years so as the poster up there said, one mans trash is another persons gold. Tell Trent to sit his azz DOWN!

Posted at 00:31h, 07 MayWell you know what they say…OPINIONS ARE LIKE …___________!LOL
Find it disturbing that he could possibly think he is in a position to critique a man’s work who would surpass his own within 2 albums worth!Let’s hope that he looks into himself and tries to create something more other than just “Closer” for us to remember him by!Until then …offer up something positive or that we actually care to hear about!Brings to mind a certain song and I would like to dedicate it to Mr Reznor.God bless!
PRINCE ~ FUNK
Ahhh Yea!
Drop it now
Don’t stop it now
Come and get it now
Here he comes again
He’s gonna try and ruin my day
Never had a reason to dog me
They’ll never make him do what they say
9 times out of 10
I ask him if he did he say no
“I’ll never be a turn coat never be the one to sell your name at the grocery store”
You come around funny stuff be going down ask him how it happened
Yo, he don’t know
But I don’t care what people may say
I ain’t gonna let it ruin my day
The best remedie for a basket full of lies is F.U.N.K
Ain’t nothin like funky music
Start me on my day
Gotta give me some of that music
Here she comes again
She got to tell a story her way
What you call a girl that’s doing something she don’t wanna
Taking money when crime don’t pay
Every now and then
I’ll hear a lil’ something-something that they said
One man’s justice is another man’s fears
Don’t you wish that you could sleep in my bed?
THE ONLY REASON TO SAY MY NAME IS TO GET YOUR 15 SECS OF FAME
NOBODY’S EVEN SURE WHAT YOU DO
But I don’t care what people may say
I ain’t gonna let it ruin my day
The best remedie for a basket full of lies is F.U.N.K
Ain’t nothin like funky music
Let the music play
I’m crazy for cover rock
Well it might not be the Grand Progression but it sho’ is funky
How you gon’ cap and be gone
I hate to let you know but it’s on
You may not like the taste but I’m still gonna stick your face in this F.U.N.K
Stick your face in it
Gossip again, ho hum
Listen to my drum
(Scat Talk)
Digital music disappears in the daytime
Fer’ sure, your face
Listen to my bass
(bass break)
Time will tell who we are
Listen to my guitar
(guitar break)
We don’t care what people may say
It ain’t gonna ruin our day
The best remedy for a big fat punk is
F.U.N.K
Ain’t nothing like funky music
Turn the music up
You talkin’ to me?
Somebody call 9-1-1
Ya’ll trippin’
Come here weave-a-licious
let me talk to you
Bring your boyfriend too
Rght now
Ever run up on me again with words or otherwise…
(words fade)
Now thats funky…
There you have it world that is passing away
We don’t care where you go
But you’ve got to get out of here
ok?
Craps, cronic fatigue, ugly or just plain cold
I love all ya’lls
Don’t you ever mess with me no more
Hoo! What time is it?
Aight then, that’s it ya’ll
I’m out like the Wolves in the first
Oh, but we gonna get it together though
Pookie, the limo warm?
Aight cool, peace ya’ll
Mm, stay funky
Right on, right on

Posted at 17:44h, 06 MayMaybe I’m missing something here…but I don’t recall Prince ever bragging about having hundreds of great songs. Though I’m sure, in that secret “vault” he supposedly has, there are thousands of amazing songs just waiting to be heard and videos waiting to be seen.
Trent is a successful artist in his own right. Just the fact that he calls Prince out and he’s able to form an opinion about him means he HAS listened to Prince’s music…which is never a bad thing. And he’s entitled to his opinion, just like every other person.
When was the last time you played an album and considered EVERY SONG A GREAT SONG?? I’m sure on most Prince albums, there are a few songs we hear and say to ourselves, “Okay, next?” and hit the forward button on the player. The thing is, don’t forget that saying about one man’s trash being another man’s gold. There is probably someone out there that LOVES the songs we FF through.
I can’t say I take what Trent said as an insult to Prince. They’re both great minds…albeit one, more tortured than the other…But their opinions about the music industry and its practices don’t differ too greatly. So I don’t take his statement as a bash…but more as a request to keep on putting out GREAT MUSIC. I think underneath it all there’s great respect there.
“Don’t hate…CELEBRATE!”

Posted at 17:30h, 06 MaySigh…
Planet Earth did suck pretty bad.
But Lotus flow3r has the jams on it.
When was the last time NIN had a hit record????
199?
Trent Reznor is a idiot.

Posted at 17:21h, 06 MayBlow it out ur u-know-what Trent.
So I wonder if Prince considers this “constructive criticism from a smart person” which he says he liked in his Tavis interview…

Posted at 17:11h, 06 MayTrent’s only been right 3 times:
1) Bowie is god.
2) Fred Durst is a moron.
3) Smack made him talented.
Toodles!
