CHRIS CORNELL TALKS NINE INCH NAILS’ INFLUENCE ON SOUNDGARDEN

Chris Cornell discussed Nine Inch Nails’ influence on Soundgarden in a new interview with Radio.com.
“We chose video directors for ‘Jesus Christ Pose’ and ‘Rusty Cage’ based on the ‘Head Like a Hole’ video. Because we saw that, loved the song, loved the video, and it was this different kind of approach to industrial/punk rock/metal, but maybe none of those things. I was a fan of industrial music, but you sort of had to suffer through the fact that there tended to be no songs. And, suddenly, here’s a song! It’s almost like a song that we could have done or written, but presented in a different way. It had this moment of influence on me.”
“I’d want to do ‘Head Like a Hole’ [if we covered an NIN song]. There’s a lot of them. But that was that first moment when I went, wow, this is special, this is different from anything.”

Trent even put up a website mocking that (admittedly horrendous) album with TimbaBland.

Trent overreacts to what other musicians so with their own music and I agree that sometimes he should probably keep his trap shut.

But that hardly makes him unique in that category.

I didn't listen to it until like late last year when it was on sale on Amazon. I'm not a huge Soundgarden fan, but I thought it was pretty good myself. Though I think I've only listened to it like once. Maybe I'll listen to it again.
