I'm unsure but I don't think he was married at that time & Anyway Trent Reznor dies not seen the type who would 'hide his wedding band or give it to stupid media exploitation & lies..... Even back in the day Jim Morrison sang his song 'Light My Fire under threat of arrest if he said his lyrics 'Get Much Higher He did anyway I would find it very hard to believe all those years later that Trent would care about the petty things & obviously didn't care when he made 'Closer video knowing it wouldn't get played- Sings what he wants- When he wants-How he wants-Rarely seems to give interviews unlike others & Is Obviously a Very Intelligent Talented Man who CARES ABOUT HIS FANS- says what's on his mind & even through his struggles- Look at him today- Touring- Excellent-Inspirational I love that He doesn't follow the masses-He is unique & we can Learn A LOT by listening to his lyrics-emotions & think about what he was saying decades ago- How relevant is more than ever this very day now in Fall 2022 I only discovered them last year due to them not being played mainstream on radio & just not knowing...... What a loss bit I Respect him very much & am so odorous by him & his EXCELLENT LIVE SHOWS when I am fortunate enough to get to see them online & play through a decent speaker or earbud Although I still hold out hope & prayers & Positive Energy & Good Vibes that somehow- someday I WILL GET TO SEE THEM PERFORM LIVE IN CONCERT AT MUSIC FESTIVAL about 900 miles away- Even though I don't have a car & license needs to be simply renewed & no CC for plane or car rental anyway & I hope they add some days & come closer to Long Island NY tri- state area but I have not GIVEN UP YET & even put NECESSARY DENTAL WORK on hold to put my efforts into this..... At this point using had several don't teeth pulled out in order to have a partial thing made-Trained myself not to while which is NO GOOD as I always had a beautiful smile..... Yet it's come to the point where I don't care-I want to be up front seeing them perform live & teeth or no teeth- That's 1 issue that has been trying to hold me back but I won't let it as I HAVE TAKEN BACK MY POWER

Yeah, I think Trent was the one who said that when you boo at the opening act or throw stuff at them, you also critize the taste of the main artist, since they're usually the ones who chose to have them as an opening act.

To my fellow Skinny Puppy fans that have made a hobby of hating Trent. This is it. The man here accepts existence outside the genre of industrial while showing a sense of respect for it. Few people outside the scene know about Throbbing Gristle and the coining of the phrase 'Industrial music for industrial people'. He even later acknoledged ripping off Dig It. Let it go. Ogre and cEvin did.

He didn't say he had anything against them, nor did he reject the idea of collaborating with industrial artists. OP was trying to hear a contradiction that wasn't made.

interviews like this must be exhausting for musicians... real musicians, i mean. as for singer/performers, like brittany spears, beiber, various generic R&B puppets, etc. etc. seem to love doing them- but people like trent who actually create things must get bored to death with this bullshit. being asked silly questions about their band logo, and such...

[@psychmakiio5925]

In my opinion, they were themselves. They were more concentrated on their music, instead of popularity and fame.

[@missesrobot8182]

well, they didn't have to sign a major record deal, they could have just been happy performing in bars and what not. sometimes these gigs come with the name of the game, it's a downside but kind of nice for fans to communicate, as it's the buying public who give these people their multi millionaire dollar lifestyles by purchasing their music and going to see them live.

Here's what Trent said about Front Line Assemby for anyone wondering: “Front Line Assembly is a textbook case of a band that - I can’t listen to a fucking song, let alone an album. Just monotonous, boring, uninspired bullshit. And they’re far more traditional and far more exemplary of ‘industrial’ than NIN is.” (from SPIN March 1992 )
