[@redplague]

"Go out, take a shit, come back" lol!

[@jennnn000]

Oh my god I laughed so hard at the end when he said "you don't go see a new movie and come in at the middle and then go out and take a shit and watch the end" or whatever. Haha! I love him so much. He's so awesome. Smart guy too.

[@Angelfire42]

i love hearing trent's voice. he makes so much sense out of things he is so effin awesome and is going to die awesome. hell, his bones with be priceless! you rock trent!! >_

[@Alexandra_Todorova]

3:23 He's wearing an all-inclusive bracelet.I've watched it so many times and didn't see it until now.Amazing!

[@thekatbatny]

such a smart man if 1/4 of the world thought like him it would be a much better place

[@marysunshines]

Great interview.Thanks for sharing

[@tirarickettshaslem7359]

This is a great interview! Agree so much with what he's saying throughout the interview. I don't know how I haven't seen this one until now..

[@cthulhu124]

I want to make a band called four inch squares.

[@cannedbread3829]

can i join

[@pionalu2]

down in it is my fav rap song

[@recoatx]

Very cool interview thanks for the up

[@ephemeralarrogance]

I currently have EVERY single piece of music Trent has developed on my MP3 to date. His music gets me through my day, without it I'd be all sorts of angry. Trent thank you, your music is a gift to us all, much appreciated.

[@stacy3634]

I Love him so much!

[@ny5280]

you are dead on great comment, nin are on of my fav bands, been a fan since i was 14

[@VAR1UM]

that has gotta be my favorite interview. its been awhile that i noticed the feeling of side a and side b of a record.

[@nunyabusiness8000]

I think it's hilarious how at first he was against piracy, but now his website has instructions on how torrent correctly

[@insaneCHILD00]

haha, Trent is amazing

[@RyBread564]

you can see he puts effort that alot of other dont. he actually puts time and thought into what he puts out

[@44eelz]

i agree in that i hope future bands record albums like an audio journey where as it wouldnt be the same just playing a couple songs from the album every now and then Only, but like the whole album should flow together like a little movie..then albums would be exciting again!

[@KedViper]

Hurt was the year I was born!

[@snaapz]

Ahh - The 1st time I listened to With_Teeth I put the CD in - dimmed the lights, laid back and put on my headphones. 1st listen beginning to end and I had the FU@#*(@# random setting ON FAIL

[@areskratos]

yes^^

[@baramartin]

No worries! Any interesting conversation is always welcome! :) I might be wrong about the most played videos though... it could be that I just watched Head more times than the rest, or just happened to catch it more times, lol! I don't know where to find the statistics for this either... could've been interesting! :) But I guess Head was kind of a new thing back then, and a kind of "instant hit", easily accessible to most people.

[@gmodesike]

trent reznor who is nin is indescribably awesome, besides me that is :) the fav of all time 4 me -d

[@livefortheday]

Wow...I completely agree with you on everything you've typed.

[@Skimmary]

Lol. Maybe the best interview i've seen lol.

[@gmodesike]

the best musician ever..trent rez

[@professorpixeldust]

You're a musical genius, Trent.

[@sickolinokio]

trent is fucking awesome

[@minaroar]

In the 80's , musically, hip hop was progressive, but then again rock used to be good too.

[@baramartin]

Yes, you're right! Maybe they put the ep:s name there instead by mistake? (Wish is on Broken) Or maybe they meant the Broken Movie, where the Wish video can be seen? Either way, it 'should' have been the song's title here, not the ep or video! :)

[@J242]

yarijohn: Good reply my friend. Don't let the crude, ignorant ones calling out for attention ever get to you. You're very well spoken and have valid points that are as sound as they are well written.

[@woahXgirl94]

ahaha im 14 now n i looove nin

[@neosamurai1]

I agree if you are talking about the mainstream scene, ala 50cent, which I think Reznor seems to be referring to mainly here. But there are some fascinating underground hip hop artists, the likes of MF Doom, Dalek, Kool Keith, Saul Williams etc. And I think Reznor knows this, probably why he just produced Saul Williams new record.

[@homeopt]

Never listened to this guy's music, but he's very interesting.

[@Passion4Rock88]

Exactly, thank god theres still some people with musical culture left.

[@MarkyMark2177]

3 people have nine inch nails stuck through each one of their eyelids

[@sexybony92]

me gusta..me gusta..pero me gustaria mas si le entendiera...

[@The90sGamingGuy]

I just laughed at the comment on "You don't watch a movie go out and take a shit and come back." The comment on CDs and mp3s is very true. I usually prefur to download 320 kbps or FLAC.Also to you uploaders that are uploading albums. Upload them in full and in good quality!

[@baramartin]

Well, they couldn't include all the videos there, right? ;) No, it wasn't banned in Sweden. We still had MTV Europe back then (1995) (before getting MTV Nordic most of the time), and the only thing 'banned' in the video was the F-word (I think). No beep, just silence instead ("I wanna ---- you like an animal"), just like on the radio edits of the song. Not sure about our other channels though, silence or not, but no ban that I can recall.

[@Valeriazane]

" you dont go to a movie half way though, leave to go take a shit and come back" buahahahaha! Trent rules.

[@Passion4Rock88]

i realize that.

[@mickatron1911]

i love "buff" rez, shit hes a tank

[@Pyrofries]

I VERY MUCH DOUBT that the ipod thing was a plug.

[@baramartin]

Hm, yes, I have no idea why they picked the videos they did. I think Head Like A Hole must be NIN's most played video here, then maybe Closer, so they should have shown it. But the clips in this interview were quite short anyway, probably because of lack of time.

[@joel94543]

yeah he writes stuff that has meaning unlike all the other bands do

[@th3soulreaper]

I sometimes download things just to check them out, then i buy them. I don't have much money to throw around on cds if they suck. Also DRM is also why i don't use itoons, too much restriction, not enough freedom.

[@badluckshadow13]

nope he's on unbridled awesomeness.

[@Depechexb]

the song that's showed from 1992 is not called broken, isn't it wish?

[@Usethebanana]

@jw8945 It's a pretty bad example. Will smith was never about pretending to be a gangster, he and Jeff were always about party type of hip-hop, rhyming about girls, parties, school, parents, everyday stuff. They never claimed they were dangerous. A better example would have been 50 Cent, Lil whine, Souljah boy, Chamillionaire and all those other buttplugged wannabe gangstah's, Sellout rappers that went pop.

[@nedim_guitar]

You gotta love the Swedish public TV. "There is no fucking you, there is only me" is not censored as "there is no fffffffffffffff you"

[@Dhakadice]

He actually says that he's already been bitching about it enough but it's just the way he likes to enjoy music. Also, he only asks for you to listen through the entire thing once. :P

[@chromosomedivide]

This poses the question, what music does he listen to?

[@homeopt]

Yes,after listening to the question again, it does appear that the interviewer was being a bit condescending towards those bands.

[@LeonelaMirallesSanz]

U gain some weight and looks so much better whn u r sane and clean, and of course: sober! he looks better than never, he is sexy

[@jw8945]

@937emotion Thanks mom

[@dmartinp]

He should just not split his albums in tracks. Just have it as one track, if it is meant to be heard all together.

[@itsmarkwtf]

Trent is absolutely right.. According to what he said about ' listening to the entire record'' Thats pRETTy hate machine right there buddy! all the way thru! Each and every song!

[@ObamaGoesPostal]

sweden is great in that sense, no censorship. there are probably more countries than sweden that don't censor swearing on tv, but still! :)

[@stana72]

*Applauses*

[@capitalg07]

"Scary and dangerous" *Will Smith appears on-screen* LOL

[@gregpasq]

No, it's a perfectly good question. Major labels are ruining music.

[@Kitti_B]

yes, its so funny , LMAO

[@baramartin]

You didn't hear the rest of what he said? Allow me to quote Mr Reznor once again: "hip hop ... has become so incredibly stale ... some of that music out now is the worst music ever." I.e., hip hop Was dangerous, but copycats turned it into crap. Smith being one of them ;)

[@baramartin]

Haha, ok! Well, Smith could be dangerous to us, who knows what he'd do if he got here?! LOL!

[@futbolusa]

Trent lowkey looks like Robert Rodriguez

[@cozmachina]

5 bucks, is not much to spend on an album you can download on the internet, even if you're checking the album out for the first time.

[@jw8945]

Its so funny that they talk about hiphop being dangerous, with a black man pointing a gun at you, and then they show Will Smith for like half a minute! I love Scandinavians.

[@homeopt]

I think u misinterpreted the question. Listen to Trent's response

[@trentsgirl]

Trent Reznor is the only person that makes sense in the music industry.

[@JoEL2point0]

@baramartin Will Smith scares me.

[@mdhookey]

Completely agree with him about hip hop. Also an early fan of it, loved (and continue to love) Public Enemy and Tribe Called Quest...but the current climate in hip hop is some of the worst music ever.

[@TheAtomic1234321]

All the dangerous in rock left with hip hop. No offense to rap but hes right

[@KnowledgeDude]

I think he said it was the worst music ever too early.

[@jw8945]

Dude, I thought the Scandinavians were saying Will Smith was one of the dangerous black men. That would have been so funny

[@baramartin]

@stakleni00 censorship is an awful thing ;)

[@Dhakadice]

In a lot of european countries (especially the big ones, like germany), people are so bad at english that there's no point in censoring english lyrics. :P (Also, considering the way french, spanish or basically any mediterranean people curse in everyday language, censorship on TV would seem rather strange)

[@sickboyduke]

its not about hip hop or rock in general.... he talks about an developement in music history. you can't say that hip hop sucks....you can only say,that its kinda sad what has become to that music. but look at all the other genres. listen to some chart rock. its gunna suck at least as much. there is still good music on every gerne...but its not much,cuz the companys support good selling shit

[@outlawcountryman]

call me an old soul but i love albums and their artwork just like trent does. but he musta heard those records on shitty record players cause my albums sound better than cds.

[@baramartin]

Age makes you gain weight? :)

[@ClayNeves7]

he has just expressedevery problem i have with this whole online music thing u cant hold the art and the presentation of it all it deminished. not to mention cds sound better than an mp3 lol

[@baramartin]

just listen to Trent: "hip hop ... has become so incredibly stale ... some of that music out now is the worst music *ever*." -that's probably why Will is there! ;)

[@ryan21255]

MP3's do have bad sound quality. A lot of people brag about how many songs they can hold on their mp3 player, but there's a reason for it. Because it sounds like crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sickolinokio]

what a stupid question at 1:23 !!!!!

[@gmodesike]

funny how trent bypassed his own topic of stealing music to his ipod..sheeze..come on trent..bitch! that's what you're best at!! and you are the best !

[@Dhakadice]

What the having sex are you talking about? Yeah, you could translate it into "fan" or the adjective "djävla" (which are both equivalent to "damn" and "damned" respectively), but most swedish people will react to the sexual nature of the word. An american saying "Are you fucking with me?" to a Swede might get "I wish" as a response. ;P

[@J242]

yarijohn, nope. No difference at all.

[@poolboyinla]

I think music right now is the worst it has ever been in America.

[@melgoofo]

yeah hip hop music now is soooo bad......seriously!!! rick music now is awesome!!!!!!!!

[@Dhakadice]

"Fucking" means having sex and in Sweden, "having sex" is something nice rather than a curse word. ;)

[@summertime3160]

Kind of a whiner. Bfd - damn lighten up.
