He also didn't give a shit about Lenny fucking Kravitz, like HE is an original pioneer when she was speaking to 2 of the greatest pioneers in music history, although Trent hadn't even come close to peaking yet, but still... you going to bring up Lenny Kravitz in the 90's to David Bowie and expect him to be impressed? Bitch please was the look Bowie gives her throughout the interview. He exposed her for being a big ol phony alternative fraud in this.

"your like vanilla ice, stealing from queen" Thats like insult to injury for Bowie, he bloody cowrote that song!

1994? Bowie was 47 at the time of this interview? (Born 1947). Darn! He was so darn hot for a middle aged man. (Ps. Miss him a lot. I cried for 2 days after the news.)

LOL I had totally noticed the comparison to Crystal Japan when Downward Spiral came out, it's great to hear how that came about. Story was better than I expected. So often I recorded stuff that I was really satisfied with, only to discover later that I was unintentionally ripping off Gary Numan or Sisters of Mercy or someone...

She's SO lucky, she's talking to two greats, on a cozy couch, relaxing with her shoes off ... what's next ... I wonder if she's bunking up for the night?!!! Lucky Thing!!! I like the charisma with them all!!!

Bowie and Reznor...please excuse me while I fangirl all over myself

I LOVE THESE GUYS! Thank you!!

At least Trent openly admits that he felt the song sounded like something else and when he heard Bowie's song the light-bulb turned on, unlike scumbag Ice who fully believes in his mind that he didn't rip anything off.

He does have a sense of humour, it's just dense. That's how he is and he's just a nice genuine guy who has gone on to be very versatile and creative with his music like a more modern day David Bowie. Bowie appreciates his talent, don't be a snob.

Bowie as cool as an ice cube. What an awesome looking dude.

You must be so young, she´s kennedy, is a funny and good interviewer in the best and only good times of mtv.

Happy to be of service!

Twenty plus years later Bowie is an absolute legend (RIP Mr. Bowie.), Trent has achieved great success and acclaim (including an Oscar), and Kennedy says idiotic nonsense on the Fox Business Channel as a "serious" journalist.

this is epic!!

Bowie, always the man, ever the cool professional, clearly acting in a protective way here, shielding the much more shy and sensitive Trent Reznor from that unscrupulous harpy Kennedy. Of course she is on the Fox Business Channel now, pretending to be "hip" yet "serious" about finance.

two of the greatest artists of all time..

I remember watching this- I'm getting old 8(

"its blatantly obvious he wanted to be NIN" No. Just no. In the 90s Bowie was very much into "Industrial Rock". But he cooperated with NIN not because he wanted to "be them", but because Trent Reznor was the most accomplished and proficient artist in that particular genre. "Outside" was made before that involvement, and "Earthling" (on which Reznor had a role) was, stylistically, *very* different to anything NIN had ever done (except maybe "The Perfect Drug).

They had a great respect for one another, each influencing and evolving the other's music during this era, as well as occasionally creating it together. It resulted in some of Bowie's best, most under-appreciated music in my opinion. And, well, Trent's spoken plenty about Bowie's influence on him, including in this clip - A Warm Place is sublime and it's basically a Bowie song.

I think I love her.

I can totally hear a warm place influenced by crystal japan. I also like anything Trent makes musically from pretty hate machine to the slip, he is an amazing artist.

This is so awkard it's painful. But Bowie demonstrating how every star should treat interviewers when they start getting ridiculous and trivial is always worth a watch. I wish there'd be more of that attitude in the business. It's not being disrespectful for no reason or teasing her, more like "oh please do your homework so I CAN respect you". But today, it's all standard questions about girlfriends and crazed fans, and no one talks about music any more, and they are all kissing each other's butt.

If we talk about music an musical influences, Bowie has always been like that - he's taken things from other musicians and other art forms that he liked, and made something of his own out of it all. In this case the music that Bowie liked at that moment was what NIN was playing, so there was an influence of that in his music.

@Cherryplanter

But the influence was terribly handled, as the guitars on Little Wonder show.

That would be Lisa Kennedy Montgomery - "Kennedy" for short. She hosted the MTV series Alternative Nation during the 1990s. Kennedy was a very controversial host who did not hesitate to say or do things that were... I suppose, "out of bounds" might be the correct term? She was known for being Christian and a virgin, but that didn't help to distance herself from an overall raunchy image. She's since looked back on her time at MTV thinking, "WTF was I thinking back then?"

It is not the same riff, but can be said to be a product of it.

trent & david bowie...HOW can that woman stay so calm?!

Trent is such a shy guy...

***Suffragette City, thank you And David has been trying some new weird stuff.... it may seem young to you, but thats just because he is trying to attract a younger audience... Well, at that time he was... I am 15 years old and i totally LOVE all his OLD music... People have different tastes, plus don't criticise something you couldn't do yourself!!!

Nine Inch Nails. For those who showed up to Bowie too late

cool post!

I would love to hear Trent re-orchestrate the Cure's song "Why Can't I Be You". Bowie singing. Slow the manic tempo just a bit but not much. I love the cure. YES, it's sad when you are thinking of songs that could have been better. Maybe I should move to LA. I'm closer to Nashville but they seem to keep making the same song over and over.

+Jeff Dinkin Yeah it's a shame. She would have ruined the interview if TR and DB didn't play along with the idiot. Still cringe worthy though.

Do you really think that you have to "side" with just one of those two? Is there some war going on between them or what, if people feel that they have to choose sides? I don't think so. Would it be so impossible to like both Bowie and Reznor, or, at least, to respect both of them as they obviously respect each other?

those sofas look dubious

When Trent starts to talk about Low, Bowie looks like he can't remember much of the period :-)

Gee, I knew this was a MTV "employee" even before I read the description. Back then they at least tried to have some sort of "variety", today they are (insert personal opinion).

Does anyone know what kind of boots Trent is wearing?

Ok, like i said... Everybody has there own oppinions... I'm a BIG fan of DB so i am obviously going to side with him...

Actually it seems quite weird to me that people feel the need to separate "this" music from "that" music, and to "side" either with Bowie, or with Reznor. I personally like both Bowie and Kate Bush, as well as Nine Inch Nails. I don't see any contradictions in it.

Kennedy has her shoes off sniff

@metalgearcolin75 agreed.

Probably there was some exploiting going on, but not quite as much as you think. But I know quite well that Bowie could be like that, although he is my all time favourite musician. Bowie "exploited" NIN by going on tour with them in order to better present his own new project. Reznor invited him, though, not the other way round.

Oh for god's sake. They are both geniuses in the field of music. Even in the same field, it is ridiculous to compare things or people, let alone battle it out over them! This is like watching people bare-knuckle-boxing over whether Oscar Wilde or Mark Twain was a better writer and wit... Leave it be!

Trent appropriated the melody and chord progression of Bowie's "Crystal Japan" into his song "A Warm Place."

I like Reznor's pants. Are they green or gray? xD

+Eric East I dunno that he was such a tough interview subject. Said to say, past tense. :( I spent a lot of time watching interviews of Bowie on youtube, going back to the beginning, and based on what I've now seen, it was extremely rare for him to be anything other than sincere, sweet, patient, and cooperative. He was always willing to explain his music, his career, his approaches. This woman really did lower the bar and he did pretty well not to diss her.

In my opinion, those two don't have to earn your respect anymore, as they've already done enough (in Bowie's case, more than enough) to earn anybody's respect. If you think that anyone of them (I guess, you mean't Bowie) hasn't earned your respect with all that they've done so far, then you'll never have respect for them. But it's just a matter of your personal taste, not a matter of - if they have earned that respect.

This was still back when Side A and Side B was a valid conversation! Not so much anymore. Sad, really.

Rock n roll it's a virgin 🎪 Frost

The interview is a bit obnoxious, she seems to brushing up on Bowie. Both Trent and Bowie are very gracious and polite. Just really nice, cool guys.

So if this is post Jerry it can't be 1994

As I understand it, you think that to be a die-hard fan of Bowie is misguided? Then, in my opinion, it's you who is misguided. And can you substantiate (in a reasonable way) what is so bad about liking Kate Bush? It's a really intelligent and interesting pop music. Or are you one of those narrow-minded people who think that all pop music is bad, and that only heavy industrial or hard rock is good music?

my god, im almost embarrass listening to her talk lol

Predictable dud hausu

I have been ripped to shreads on this page by saying that TR is better than Bowie.

Is it just me, or is she trying to brush up on Bowie?

Think whatever you want. Poor Trent being so stupid and being exploited by his great hero. A good thing he has you to defend him. A good thing you can point out that he is so much more talented than Bowie too, because I really don't think he thinks so himself.
