Trent Reznor Ensured Other Members of Nine Inch Nails Were Included in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction

When 9 Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor heard he was slated to be inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on his personal, he made positive that the remainder of the band would be part of him. He and Atticus Ross talked to Consequence of Sound about their expertise with turning into profitable movie rating composers and Reznor’s efforts with the induction got here out throughout that dialog.

Ross, for instance, had been a key member of the outfit because the early 2000s doing programming and manufacturing. Ultimately he took on extra accountability as a multi-instrumentalist as properly. Reznor and Ross’ movie scoring profession took off through the 2010s, doing scores for a lot of famend movies akin to The Social Community, The Lady With the Dragon Tattoo, Gone Lady, Mid 90s, Chicken Field and Soul. 

Reznor’s remark was, “From my perspective, I simply felt it was the proper factor to do. I feel, type of lazily, the method was, ‘Okay, we’re simply going to induct you.’ Then I believed I’d push again and say, ‘Effectively, it’s essential on the very least induct Atticus, and you must induct these guys.’ And that was pre-pandemic. And the limitless type of justification of that, which wasn’t essentially fought by me, as a lot as me telling my supervisor: ‘Make this f**king occur… Sufficient.’

“It’s backed up by the precedent the place you possibly can have a look at different bands and say, ‘The Treatment obtained these guys in. That man’s been within the band X period of time.’” he argued. “Once more, I wasn’t the one presenting the case, however I felt strongly that it’s a shared recognition. And it could actually really feel higher to me. It wasn’t rolling a boulder up a hill. They weren’t towards it. I don’t know the place their minds have been at, however I’m glad it turned out the best way it did.”

Ross expressed his gratitude by saying how welcome a shock it was, “I imply, did I ever assume I used to be going to be within the Rock & Roll Corridor of Fame? No, I by no means thought that will be the case. Did I ever assume any of this was gonna occur? I’m simply attempting to get via the day. You understand what I imply? So, it’s all been good.”

The other members inducted embrace programmer Chris Vrenna, guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist Allesandro Cortini and drummer Ilan Rubin. On the induction ceremony, Reznor gave a shifting acceptance speech.
