Reznor Takes Time From NIN Album To Shoot
Bowie Video
October 8 [7:55
EDT] -- Trent Reznor took time away from his recording compound in New Orleans
on Friday to join his friend David Bowie on the set of Bowie's next video,
"I'm Afraid Of Americans."
Reznor
will turn up in the clip, and (as we previously reported) produced several
remixes of the track for an upcoming EP that should hit stores next week.
When asked about when his next NIN project is coming,
and about reports that it will veer from the typical industrial NIN sound
in favor of more of a hip-hop influence, Reznor told MTV News, "The
record, I guarantee it will piss everybody off. No one will like it, and
it will be ridiculous, and if it wasn't then I wouldn't do it."
"That's the territory we both meet
on," [900k QuickTime] Bowie added. The thin white duke noted that the
two men subscribe to the notion that if you anger the right people, you
must be doing something right. "We seem to have got that art down pretty
finely," Bowie said. "That's the point," Reznor chimed in.
"If it's safe it's ridiculous. It has to be dangerous."
We'll have a complete report on the Bowie/Reznor video shoot this weekend in "The Week In Rock."
