Q&A: Trent Reznor

Six years ago, Nine Inch Nails mainman Trent Reznor said in Rolling Stone that rock & roll “has taken a big sh**.” Asked by the same magazine how he feels now, Reznor responded, “Well, we’ve managed to put rap rock — or, sorry, new metal — back where it belongs, as a forgotten footnote.
