Nine Inch Nails

In the summer of 1994, Nine Inch Nails was riding high on the success of their album 'The Downward Spiral,' which had been released just a few months earlier. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, featuring hits like 'Closer' and 'Hurt,' propelling them into mainstream fame. Their performance at Woodstock '94 was both electrifying and controversial, with Trent Reznor famously expressing his dislike for the chaos and mud associated with the festival, reflecting the raw and intense nature of their music. During the interview, he made an interesting remark about not wanting to be performing on stage 25 years from that point—an irony that unfolds as Trent remains active in the music scene today, proving he’s as passionate as ever about live performance. The 'Woodstock Mud' report is also a wild reminder of the festival's infamous atmosphere and the challenges artists faced during that memorable event.
