Some Nine Inch Nails fans were upset at how polite Trent Reznor was when he answered their question in a video interview for Digg last month. I'd imagine those same fans were upset when they learned that he recently got engaged and might not actually be the tortured soul they always hoped. But Reznor can still fire off an insult when the need arises.
Speaking to fans again, this time via the Nine Inch Nails website, Reznor told off Prince and Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo for bragging about how many great songs they've written, after he was asked if he is sitting on a stockpile of unreleased material. Although, he was a little self-deprecating at the end. I don't know if that spoilt it or not. He said: "I'm not Prince or Rivers Cuomo, who brags about having hundreds of great songs. And to that I would say: Prince, if you have a hundred great songs or a thousand, how about picking a few and putting them on your record that you've put out? Because your last several have sucked. Same for you, Rivers. I say that constructively, you know. I may be happy and engaged, but I can still be a prick!"
