Trent Talkings With the New York Times’ Jon Pareles

After an hour and a half (close to it) interview via live stream between Jon Pareles and Trent Reznor we've been given a glimpse into what 2011 and beyond might hold for Nine Inch Nails and Trent's future. The interview was great, with Trent suited up and giving us just enough details to keep us happy, and speculating.

So, what came out of this interview?

• Trent touched on the subject of The Fragile's deluxe release which may include multi-tracks for all you remix artists.
• The Fragile's re-release will be a 5.1 mix (blu-ray?).
• Trent and Atticus will be score the film "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" set to be released November(ish).
• Trent also hinted at releasing a "greatest hits" album, if it had meaning.
• HTDA apparently wont sound much like the EP
• Trent said he'd be happy to work with Marilyn Manson again, "We've had our differences, but Im an adult now, I wear suits".

[sheepdean]

Goddamn issues with the feed, thankfully someone else grabbed the video. It was a great interview, and awesome to discuss it in nin-army chat as it went along

[ninarmy]

Agreed, it was fun. If we'd been smarter we would have set it as an event for the interview :)

You will have to shit the audio +4seconds, then it's actually synced! Thanks for the vid

[ninhurt]

The video comes courtesy of "TheBang" on ETS...

"I missed about the first 10 min. of the interview. The audio sync drifts at points in this video, because there were several differences in dropouts and rebuffering of the video and audio streams independently while being captured. I had to make 10 painstaking audio edits to keep it somewhat in sync and watchable."

Thank you SO much for posting this. I missed almost all of the live airing (caught the end with the q&a) and kept kicking myself in the ass for doing so. To hear Trent say that it isn't impossible for Nine Inch Nails to tour again.. well, there are no words. Thanks again.

[ninhurt]

Your right, words cannot describe... Glad you got to see the rest of it Brittany!

[Johanna]

Thank you so much for posting both the mp3 and the video. I was there and I am telling everyone he is such a charming man. Everyone there was gushing over him and rightfully so! It was such a great experience being there in the audience. :)

[KayJo]

Does anyone know where I can find the transcript of this interview?

[ninhurt]

Johanna, that must have been amazing to be there... Such a great interview and given the recent events he seemed really relaxed and even made a few jokes here and there.

Not sure about a transcript Kayjo... May post one here if nothing turns up today.

[KayJo]

Thanks!
