Trent Reznor Both Scares Himself
and He's Turning Into His Dad

(Reznor, Rolling Stone, September 8, 1994)

NINE INCH NAILS star TRENT REZNOR has scared himself with new lyrics about the end of the world. Yeah Trent - 'cause the other stuff you've done isn't scary in the least.

Reznor, 41, admits he found writing and recording the tracks for bleak new album YEAR ZERO painless, but it was a different story when he realized his concept about a US government ruled by the far right wasn't too far from the truth.

In January, Reznor told Rolling Stone magazine:
"When I look at the cold heart of big business and our murdering government, I am truly afraid.

"I don't get the sense there is any humanity or compassion behind those suits as I watch their total disregard for human life and the ecology of this planet."
A great quote from the interview:

“Either I’m getting old, which is a fact, or I’m turning into my dad! I wonder about the person that’s in a band, the young kid who just got signed or is trying to get signed - why is he doing it? Is he trying to change the world and do something different and express himself…or is it because they want to f*ck Paris Hilton and be photographed outside trendy restaurants?"
