TRENT REZNOR DISCUSSES LOLLAPALOOZA & WORKING WITH LINDSAY BUCKINGHAM

Published On August 2, 2013 | By Nicole Malczan | Featured, Nine Inch Nails

Alternative radio station Q877 recently sat down with Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor on the eve of the band’s stint on the Lollapalooza bill. The following points came up during the interview:
-He states that Nine Inch Nails and touring got stale, and the repetition inspired him to stop touring with the group and work on other projects.
-The tracks on Hesitation Marks are more “minimal”.
-It was easier to write the songs than record them, as it took about six months to mix the album.
-Reznor says that he had a “fanboy moment” over working with Lindsay Buckingham.
-Reznor also says that he wrote Hesitation Marks from a more retrospective angle, looking at the good and the bad in his life.
-Russell Mills actually suggested the album title name.
-Reznor says he couldn’t pick just one cover, so that’s why there are multiple versions available.
-Trent stated that the light show is “super complicated” as is right now and will be re-worked for the full-length tour in the fall.
-Fans can expect at least 90 minutes of material with new and old songs played for the band’s Lolla set.

transcript of the part where TR talks about working with LB (from http://www.alternativenation.net/?p=30387):

"i also brought in Lindsey Buckingham, for a day. that was incredible. he is someone i always admired, not only as a songwriter but as an amazing guitarist."

"i agree and... that was a total fanboy day of sitting in a room with him
a) that he knew who i was, and
b) that he's actually playing on my record...
but ... the second he picks up his guitar it... Lindsey Buckingham comes out! and you know he was... doing some things and i'm thinking "how did... how are you... what pedals are you using?" and the answer is: no pedals. it's just his technique. you know, he actually knows how to play his instrument."

If you turn it way up, you can clearly hear the interviewer say "Lindsey is SOOOO underrated"

That's where Trent answers, "I agree"
