Hear Trent Reznor React to His Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction
“It’s the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll,” Reznor says. “That doesn’t mean it has to be guitar-bass-drums. It can be a turntable, a computer, a synthesizer, sequencer. They are all tools. It’s the spirit of expression and, to me, freedom, and no limits to expression. That’s my version of what rock means.”
The episode also includes a discussion about the inevitable post-rock, post-guitars future of the Hall of Fame, a guide to the rest of the class of 2020, and a history lesson from founding member Patrick Simmons — he explains the band’s switch from biker-friendly boogie-rock to yacht rock when Michael McDonald took over as lead singer.
