Nine Inch Nails Inducted Into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame

[bobbie solo]

Josh Homme?

[chuckrh]

No way, he’s incredibly articulate*. He just tends to mumble onstage.

I just have a hard time time understanding him. I am half deaf in 1 ear though (thank you shingles). Usually i can understand 1 or 2 words out of 3.

[Helpmeiaminhell (is now in hell)]

Dave Gahan would be great. And with Depeche being inducted the same day, its convenient. As much as I love Robert Smith, I think it would make him very uncomfortable to have to do a speech like that. Manson would be a disaster. Uncle Al would be an even bigger disaster. No idea where this obsession on ETS with having Gary Numan do the induction came from. They wouldn't even allow him in the front door of the Hall of Fame without an ID. Outside of ETS circles, Numan is regarded as another Adam Ant. An old washed up has been who had a few hit songs in 1979 and 1980 and who has spent the last 20 years ripping Trent off to a modicum of success. 0% chance of Numan happening. When ETS holds their own induction ceremony for Trent, you can have Numan emcee it and have his ETS fan club in the front row. Numan ain't happening. Not in a hundred million years. It would be like having Flock of Seagulls induct Trent. Or might as well have his old band mates from Option 30 induct him....Dave Grohl will be the choice. I am CONVINCED. He is friends with Trent. Hes recorded with NIN. He constantly praises Trents ability. Hes a very confident speaker. Hes done it before and the HOF fuckin adores him. I dont even think its an issue. Its gonna be Dave Grohl which is fine by me. I dont care for the Foo Fighters but Dave is a real personable dude. He'll do a bang up job

I don't think it's the people suggesting him who're obsessed.

Dave Grohl is an interesting choice. I would like to see him or Josh Homme do it, but being a massive Cure fan I'm holding out that Robert will do it (even though I'm sure he won't).

[DVYDRNS]

My votes on Billy Ray Cyrus.

My votes on Billy Ray Cyrus.

i'm currently watching Radical Jack (with rifftrax) and WOW is he a bad actor hahaha

Didn’t Josh Homme kick some photographer woman right in the head at one of his shows not too long ago? No way in hell they’ll ask him to do it..

It’s going to be Dave Grohl. As it should be. He is the only 90s musician still living who comes anywhere close to Trent’s genius. Maybe Trent and Dave and Josh can do another live performance together at the HOF and get more than a minute of airtime before they cut the broadcast off like last time..

[kaydraven]

I'm not sure why but I didn't think about Dave at first, but he makes a lot of sense. I always forget that he and Trent worked together, so it would be cool for him to do the honors.

I had no idea that happened.

Very left field choice, Scarlett Johansson

[paul_is_dead]

Ok, he can talk. I still think Dave Grohl or Gary Numan would be far better.

Gary could also speak for Depeche Mode though. He says that Songs of Faith and Devotion saved his life and musical career.

Edit: And I actually think that it would be cool for Gary to talk about SOFAD, especially if Alan is there.

She understands Trent better than most with these answers about him. Certainly more than the journalist does.

But has the Rock n Roll hall of fame ever used a non-rocker to induct? Thought it was more of a “by us, for us” kind of thing.

copypasta for anyone not clicking on the link:

Scarlett Johansson: Something you don’t know about me I guess would be, I’ll give you my biggest celebrity crush. That would probably be Trent Reznor.

Brendan Francis Newnam: The guy behind the band Nine Inch Nails which made dark, kind of industrial kind of music?

Scarlett Johansson: That would be my, like, meet him and faint, I think.

Brendan Francis Newnam: And why Trent? From Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland to Nine Inch Nails.

Scarlett Johansson: Yes. I think that there’s a, there’s definitely a through-line with Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, and Nine Inch Nails, and I’m going to leave it up to your listeners to find it, because I know it’s there.

Brendan Francis Newnam: Well my mind immediately goes to that Nine Inch Nails song “Head Like Hole” which has that quote “I’d rather die than give you control,” maybe control is the link, you know? Frank Sinatra, controlling. Although Judy Garland I don’t know how in control she was.

Scarlett Johansson: See, I was going to go much more with like a sort of fragility and this kind of broken sadness, so maybe what I would see is a sort of a, like a reluctant star or something like that.

Brendan Francis Newnam: Performing despite some anxiety or insecurity?

Scarlett Johansson: There’s something about the bleeding soul that comes through maybe all of those vocalists, sort of this reluctance to do and then you do because you have to because it’s what you’re good at and what feels good but it hurts at the same time. I don’t know. Maybe all great performers are like that anyway.

Howard Stern inducted Bon Jovi, David Letterman inducted Pearl Jam, Chris Rock inducted the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tom Hanks inducted the Dave Clark Five.

howard stern inducted bon jovi, david letterman inducted pearl jam, chris rock inducted the red hot chili peppers and tom hanks inducted the dave clark five.

til.

[tricil]

I now want Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden to induct NIN.

Will settle for Brad Pitt as Anthony Fauci.

[botley]

Roger Waters.

"My apologies, I'm still not familiar with your work."

[bobbie solo]

If we're talking non-musicians, then I'd venture David Fincher shoots right near the top of the list. Still under Dave Grohl, but def. under consideration by the powers that be.

[onthewall2983]

I wonder what'll happen if this gets postponed into next year. Maybe they can go on with the 2021 class and make a weekend out of the whole thing.

[michaelmilani]

Has there been any update regarding the Rock Hall of Fame induction?

it's been postponed to November, maybe.

Okay she's my new pick

Rob Sheridan spoke of being bummed at not attending this, it made me pleased that he had been invited because I’ve been schooled to think, almost, when someone leaves it’s always in acrimony and drama, so I’m glad that isn’t the case

[Star]

I had tickets and now had to cancel my airfare and hotel for a second time. It is freaking ridiculous to cancel an event that is FOUR months from now. I am beyond angry.

I'd be steamed, also, were I in your situation. But this is not a ridiculous response given the severity of what we're looking at. There were almost a thousand new cases reported just yesterday in Ohio.

Yes , yesterday in July. There was no need to cancel yet. NONE. And streaming is not like being there.

[TheBang]

I mean, not really. It's four months on from when this started, we reopened, and we're in a worse position now than we were then. What could change between now and November that would make this safe? Nothing, except a vaccine, really, and a vaccine won't be ready by then. They're just acknowledging the stark reality now, instead of ostriching until the last moment.

[botley]

There was no need to cancel yet.

Well, there was a good reason to, even if you don't consider it a "need"... they were continuing to plan for a live event that wouldn't happen if the trend line stays the way it has been. Back in March, the hope was that this crisis would peak in April. It still hasn't peaked and cases continue to rise.
