Some people here seem to think that just because Trent Reznor is talking about things like depression, pain and addiction makes him 'more important' then people who dont touch these subjects. The matter is: its how you deal with those subjects. Reznor deals with them in the most blatant ways, coupled with his blatant take on industrial rock, its first of all toecurlingly pathetic. The ironic thing is that people like Kurt Cobain and Trent Razor DID look up to Prince and have definately taken a lot of his ways on board. But it's like it's NOW blown out of proportion and people are expressing their angst just because they think they should. Prince's music was about what you felt in that 'moment', whether you felt happy or sad or whatever.. It didn't just mean expressing yourself because you were angry. Look at songs like Play In The Sunshine or Housequake. They are two examples of really positive, upbeat happy songs that you know he wrote because they would make people (ie us) smileand be happy. Also Prince is able to look at the negative and positive. He may be unhappy but he's still got God in his life. ie Anna Stesia. It goes from being a really depressing song about the loneliness and confusion of life to an uplifting celebration of his connection to God. These people don't know how to express that. They only know how to express the negative. And the sad thing is I do think sometimes Prince copies them. It's all got mixed up and confused. It's like the older brother ie Prince copying the cool younger brother ie Trent, Kurt, other indie boys.. Lol.. and double lol..  [Edited 9/25/09 14:18pm] Shut up already, damn. | |

Trent Reznor is musically a cheap rip off of Ministry, and lyrically an annoying poser not very different from all those 'hip' emo-bands. NIN-fans are as annoying as Tool-fans: they take their artists SO seriously, dwelling in their shared misery, thinking those artists are so wise and 'important', when its about nothing more then banal posures. [Edited 9/25/09 12:43pm] Wow! finally a topic worth following here, you are sooo right, Tool fans, NIN fans and Radiohead fans think that the more complicated, the more esotheric and the more experimental means good music. Don't get me wrong, I love this bands, they have great music but after the mid 90's it became a cliche to try to be deep and weird. A few weeks ago I got into one of those forums were people commented about the greatest masterpieces ever, most of the reviews were done by the people who think that music started with the alternative scene of the late 80's, you know the Pitchfork/stereogum audience, lots of praises to The Pixies, Bjork and ocourse Radiohead, but when it came up to Purple Rain some of them say things like "I don't get the hype, the lyrics are two dimensional for me" like if the only thing to make a good album is been deep and arty. I understand very much the whole philosophical themes of NIN or Radiohead, I use to like Tool and Bjork surrealism expressions too, but it became a sheep mimick really soon, my friends who like Tool just keep on relaying on the alucinatory trips of their music to say they are bad ass (the Pink Floyd syndrome), they don't even care if the band keep doing the same stuff over and over. Trent Reznor (NIN) is stuck on the 90's thniking that anger and bitterness stil rule the music scene, Bjork and Radiohead are turning into a cartoon of themselves: pretentious overelaborated music, with slow motion music videos and with a "look at me I'm in pain" credo. There's a reason why the new rock scene became so warm and fun, if you look at the least comercial or super cool indie acts, you will see revolution trough hapiness and dance (M.I.A.), philosphical lyrics trough fun pop (MGMT), arty and experimental sound trough funk and the spiritual world (TV on the Radio), even great heavy rock trough love and sensibility (Wolf mother). No "I don't want to be a star" nonsense. The few 90's act that really evolve are Beck and Jack White. "I have so much love for Prince. But why don't they look at me that way"- MJ | |

It's not even fair to call Nine Inch Nails a band really, as it's just Trent and the other members are always revolving and just used for live shows (although Trent has just retired NIN as a touring band) He's one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially succesful rock artists of all time, as well as being a pioneer of new music industry business models since splitting with his longtime label Interscope back in 2007.

aarontj said: Trent isn't the genius Prince is on any level. But I think Trent's strength is that he's quite critical of his own work, where I don't think it even dawns on Prince that he might have just written a piece of crap, like New Power Soul. That pretty much nails it right there (no pun intended). | |

I remember some one say in here that Radiohead fans din't dig Prince and Prince fans they do dig Radiohead, suggesting that Radiohead appeal to more people, but what that really means is that most of Prince fans are more cultivated then alternative music fans, we apreciate jazz, funk, soul, disco, dance, r&b, punk, glam, alt etc. because Prince music is a perfect mix of those genres.

Yes, so well said. I also think that Prince's music goes over their heads. It's too clever for them and they can't relate to it. They can only relate to Radiohead because it is in their comfort zone. They also relate to the 'look' of these Indie bands because they are mainly middle-class white boys. They feel comfortable with this they feel an affinity with it. But also it allows them to wallow in their own misery and it doesn't challenge them at all. I disagree that bands like Radiohead are deep. They are sort of superficially deep, or faux deep as I like to say. When you scratch the surface and analyse what they are singing about it is not much at all. It's like surface level deep. And yep, I know there are going to be a million people saying they 'DO' have deep shit like Creep and No Surprises but sometimes you break apart other parts of their music and it's like 'Hey? What's this about???' So then to say Radiohead or some other Indie Band is better than Prince - well you could analyse Tamborine or Starfish and Coffee and there is more going on in these songs than many of theirs. And they're not even anywhere near Prince's deepest songs.. That's the beauty of Prince - he can give depth to anything because he really thinks about what he's writing about. Well a lot of the time anyway.. But yep I was at Coachella (ahem have I mentioned that before ) and I was stood next to the most miserable people. Then when Prince started playing Creep it was like 'Wow..he's plaaaaaying Creep??!!'
They didn't get it, because they actually 'do' think Prince is a creepy weirdo. Most of them have have never listened to his music.. or they certainly haven't understood him... And I'm probably not making any sense...?? It's late.. lol I'm going to bed.. [Edited 9/25/09 16:33pm] Shut up already, damn. | |

I've heard "Had U" owes a lot to Trent and NIN's influence. I've always heard a Santana/Hendrix touch, personally.
Either way, gorgeous arrangement. | |

It din't bother me but I guess it shows your ignorance and bad manners: "you silly kids still talking about this bullshit??" if you have so many cool topics to talk about why bother to comment? I hope your not a 12 year old kid. let's be real here...my comment was no more ignorant or rude than some of the bloated opinions expressed in other posts in this very thread... reading some of these posts, it's been perfectly fine to dismiss anothers musical taste or opinion of another artist... you expressed that "most of Prince fans are more cultivated then alternative music fans"...I literally laughed out loud when I read that..this forum proves on a daily basis just how uncultivated some Prince fans can be... yet, this discussion comes up numerous times a year, on a Prince fan site, by Prince fans, comparing Prince to (insert artist here)... and there's always a few that believe that Prince is untouchable on any level and that any one with a differing opinion is immature, ignorant, unimformed or just plain stupid...then there are some that can take off the paisley and lace blinders and look beyond all their own pretentious opinions and have a valid discussion without resorting to a full on attack of anothers personal preference.. I'm sorry, I didn't come armed with any cool topics of my own, so I checked this thread out thinking it may have some potential...lesson learned but just as a show of good faith and no hard feelings, c'mere and give me a hug...  | |

I hope your not a 12 year old kid. let's be real here...my comment was no more ignorant or rude than some of the bloated opinions expressed in other posts in this very thread... ***Still doesn't justified it. reading some of these posts, it's been perfectly fine to dismiss anothers musical taste or opinion of another artist... you expressed that "most of Prince fans are more cultivated then alternative music fans"...I literally laughed out loud when I read that..this forum proves on a daily basis just how uncultivated some Prince fans can be... ***Well, I know many Prince fans and they are quite cultivated, most of them love all kinds of music, most of Radiohead fans just listen to Bjork, Muse and Radiohead wanna b's, I mean don't look on the org. go to the alternative forums like Pitchfork and Stereogum, It's a well know facts that those sites suport mainly 90's alt rock. But the Creep cover reaction is enough to see the ignorance of some of the alternative music fans. By the way I think prince.org forums have so many cultivated people. yet, this discussion comes up numerous times a year, on a Prince fan site, by Prince fans, comparing Prince to (insert artist here)... and there's always a few that believe that Prince is untouchable on any level and that any one with a differing opinion is immature, ignorant, unimformed or just plain stupid...then there are some that can take off the paisley and lace blinders and look beyond all their own pretentious opinions and have a valid discussion without resorting to a full on attack of anothers personal preference.. *** You are right, but my comments were based on someone else comment trashing Prince just for the sake of it and praising NIN with no facts. I'm sorry, I didn't come armed with any cool topics of my own, so I checked this thread out thinking it may have some potential...lesson learned ***Well, your "silly kids" and "bullshit" say enough of your intentions, you don't have to explain, no lesson to learn here. but just as a show of good faith and no hard feelings, c'mere and give me a hug... ***Hug to you with love 
By the way I love NIN and most of alt music, my comments got nothing to do with my musical taste. Peace. "I have so much love for Prince. But why don't they look at me that way"- MJ | |
