An Interview with Trent Reznor
Stephen Dalton, NME, 1999
THE PRINCE of pain has a severe case of the sniffles. Imprisoned in a swanky London hotel, Trent Reznor has been laid low by a rather spiteful flu bug. The tormented mastermind behind Wagnerian hate-pop gothcore titans Nine Inch Nails has cancelled two days of interviews, loaded up on Lemsip and retired to his chambers.
