Trent Reznor Disses 'Kiss' Bassist Gene Simmons

[Brian Damage]

Another reason why Reznor is ditching the live circuit? He doesn’t want to wind up like another decade-spanning rock act. “I’d never want to be Gene Simmons, an old man who puts on makeup to entertain kids, like a clown going to work,” Reznor said of the Kiss bassist and the self-proclaimed God of Thunder. “In my paranoia, I fear that if I don’t stop this, it could become that.” Like the live incarnation of Nine Inch Nails, Reznor also sees the end of the road for the record companies in general. “They’re in their last moments of death and I’m happy to see them go ’cause they’re all thieves and liars,” Reznor told the Daily Inquirer. “In the States, there aren’t any record stores left. The only place is like a Best Buy where you go to buy a washing machine and there’s a tiny rack of DVDs and CDs. I think we’re in between business models right now.”

Famous last words.

Guess what Trent will be doing when he is middle aged?
