But among everything I like, NIN stands out as my most respected band. I consider Trent Reznor my hero, but not in the usual sense of a rockstar to a fan, and not that I want to be like him one day. Trent is my hero because, in his music, he perfectly expresses a lot of emotions that I've always felt but couldn't express. Just the same old meaningless crap. Trent's music becuase it makes me think.
Every song has a meaning.
Every word means something. Every sound is full of emotion. I listen to them again and again, and find out new thoughts every time. Trent is cool because he is not afraid to express himself. While I was working on Downward Spiral, I was living in the house where Sharon Tate was killed.
