He was a really sweet guy. I knew a lot of friends were playing it. I started watching it, and three hours later I’m still watching.
And I’ve got tears in my fucking eyes.”Reznor continued: “It got me thinking. If you haven’t seen it, it’s worth checking out, ’cause it’s really well done.
It’s very touching and sincere.” Watch Reznor’s full remarks below:Pre-Even Deeper Thoughts #nineinchnails #nin #trentreznor #atticusross #robinfinck #alessandrocortini #ilanrubin #redrocks #redrocksampitheater #ninontour ♬ original sound – nineinchnailsofficial Reznor went on to reflect on the sincerity of the tribute, and how it got him thinking about being “mindful of what’s happening right now, and appreciating what’s happening right now, instead of worrying about tomorrow.” Reznor added that he “was grateful to be sharing this moment”, and thanked the audience before beginning the band’s next song, ‘Even Deeper’.Nine Inch Nails’ show took place as part of the band’s ongoing tour across the US.
