Johnny Cash did NOT write Hurt, Trent did, if you’re going to correct someone, get your damn facts straight." Fixed. LOL “First Of all, DrHtR.

Trent did NOT write Hurt, Johnny Cash did, if you're going to bash someone, get your damn facts straight. I would also like to comment on your indie hang up, do you really think Reznor would've gone Indie straight out of the shoot, been poor and stolen zucchinis from a farmers garden like you wanted him to be? Hell no, because he has a brain, appareantly unlike you. You, see what he's doing is brilliant. He is taking all that money from the record companies and using it against them, ( which you did comment on, but you can't see the forest through the trees). He's being loyal to his fans, giving us free albums, encouraging us to "steal" his music. He's a business man. Have you ever hear of the term music BUSINESS, yeah...it's right there in the title. I know your so green with envy you can't see straight, but maybe instead of bashing Trent, you should take a few hints since no body really knows who the hell you are except for being some whore who bashes people with actual talent for a publicity stunt (bad business move). Oh, and by the way I listened to your song "the other shoe", exactly how many times did you listen to "jessie's girl" by Rick Springfield before wrting that piece of shit. You make musicians like Yoko Ono sound as good as her late husband (he was a beatle by the way, you don't seem to research these things much so I thought I'd help out) and shove those "two ships" up your ass while you're at it.

There is truth in that he is now independent but has had the backing of labels for a long period of time, and as such will have the exposure created by said support. However, the way you spin your point is fairly ridiculous. I have not read or heard a single interview where he has embraced the 'indie' culture you are mentioning. This doesn't make him any less independent, just not a member of what you, and likely many others, misconstrue as 'indie'. There are many independent artists out there and many of them with differing histories, income, and monetary investment. Fortunately for TR, and the NIN stakeholders, support has been plenty previous to his decision to be independent. Secondly, you seem to proliferate some kind of idea that TR's music is somewhat prepackaged for the masses. Having listened to some of your tracks, which is clearly a goal of your post, makes me think do not have a clue about what you speak of. Have another listen to your own music before you make terrible accusations. Firstly, your remarks about TR are not entrely unfounded.

Year Zero (which you've clearly never listened to) had an extensive marketing campaign that was headed up by Mr. Reznor. He also started the remix.nin.com on his own accord and when the record company at the last minute decide not to back it, he did it himself. if that's not indie, i don't know what is. Its also very manipulative to claim you respect Trent's work when the entire post is completely disrespectful. oh and i'm so sure you didn't delete the comments. someone else must've deleted those nasty comments about how your music is subpar. since those are gone, i'll go ahead and restate: trent's never claimed to be indie, just independent of a record label. yeah, nin fans are the ones making NIN look bad…

Funny that Killing Joke would later try to jump on the very bandwagon they had inspired. Of course, these days, I prefer new KJ to new Ministry, by far.

That said, Trent Reznor acolytes sure are childish whiners, aren't they? Most folks outgrow the "you're just jealous" line by high school. As for "just don't listen": If you have so little self-confidence that it makes you cry to see a little criticism of your preentious, humorless, eminently mockable idol, do yourself a favor and stop reading anything about him that isn't a fanboy blowjob.

So I no longer come here to listen, I simply come to read....damn shame that, but I did like the editorial content change that began to include political references and other things alongside the music - it IS all of a pice in the long run anyway :) SD I have to agree about NINs ‘industrial’ being more like industrial done by mr rodgers - and I canunderstand the cynicism of his current move towards nonLabel association…when I 1st read about it I thought , hmmmm, he isn’t selling like he was and the label is pushing him to be more commercial or something…hehehe
