DP/30: Watchmen, Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross 

Trent’s voice, singing or not is just so distinctly Trent Reznor. Nobody really sounds like that.

Trent will forever be one of my heroes and main influences. a class act

Trent has reached peak form. He has become an absolute master with Atticus' help. True artists.

Apparently Reznor lives inside the opening sequence of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Trent Reznor is the John Wick of music

I've been a Reznor fan since.... shit, since 91'. I've seen him live with Bowie back in 95' in NJ, this was my first time seeing him perform. That performance left me stunned for 2 days, mildly deafened and was the best concert experience I've had yet. I've seen him perform live now 4 times, the last was with Soundgarden (my second time seeing Cornell perform, Rest in Peace Chris) in summer of 2013. I've never really seen interviews he's done, don't like interviews asking dumb personal questions. This, this was awesome. Hearing how these two create, the struggle of business and the vast difference from being a "musician" and being a music writer/producer for a TV show "this is actual work". Great stuff, Trent thanks for all the years of awesome music! I would NEVER have thought back in the 90's Reznor would be doing movie soundtracks like the Facebook movie _Social Network_ . I'm not bashing or teasing, I find it awesome. Just like when he worked on *Quake* the video game by id software. We should've guessed back then we'd see Reznor working in other areas of musical creativity. Going from a powerhouse record like _The Downward Spiral_ to making music and sound fx for Quake, which still holds the title for one of the best atmospheric soundtracks in a game I've played. Keep up the great work guys!

Reznor is another level.

I love to see trent smiling!

I'm so happy Trent is growing his hair again

Trent and Atticus are an amazing duo.

Hard to surpass what these two did with social network but I think the watchman soundtrack does that. Being 42, nails were the soundtrack to my rebellious youth and to see them grow wiser along a parallel path has been amazing. I would of never thought that the angst and heaviness of that band I loved in the early and mid 90's would end up constantly evolving into the soundtrack of my life. Thank you trent.

Trent is looking good. So 'smiley'.

It's just so nice to hear his voice. cozy atmosphere.

Thank You Keanu Reeves, for making Trent grow his hair back out...

This was the most energetic atticus ive ever seen

Super sad that the RRHOF Induction Ceremony was canceled. They are rock gods who deserve their own special celebration and public adoration!

Trent and Atticus are genius at making one note sound ethereal and haunting. Before the Flood, Vietnam by Ken Burns, Watchmen, NIN, or How to Destroy Angels. Unmistakable and signature sound. Its a trademark so to speak. I remember years ago, when his new NIN material was more trippy, like Massive Attack, and old fans were upset. But not me, i embrace when an artist evolves, and takes chances. Why would anyone want 10 Pretty Hate Machines, when they can listen to so many great, unique sounds. Would love to hear Trent & Atticus score Doctor Strange 2.

Man i love trent and Robert smith my favorite artists in music of all time

Trent looks like Keanu

Quarantine Daddy Trent does it for me.

atticus & trent are such awesome & intelligent dudes. their scores are what keeps me coming back for more and more music from them. im anticipating what they will bring to their fans in the future.

Trent will always be my idol. His work gets better and better. By the way the longer hair looks good.

Trent and Atticus look like they could be blood brothers. great interview.

We forget that we had (two) new NIN releases in March this year!!

entire score was amazing, but Lincoln tunnel was spot on! that scene, with THAT music was something that moves blood and spirit....perfect.. bravo Atticus and Trent.. Bravo!!!

that wall is really cool

Always gonna love Trent

It’s so wonderful to see them again!! 💜 Looking forward to the next album/tour gentlemen! 🎸🎹

The creativity of these two gentlemen is mind blowing. Thanks to both for all the fantastic music, keep it coming please.

Love the score to Watchmen! All their scores are just incredible

ITS COOL TO SEE TRENT WITH LONG HAIR AGAIN!!! WOODSTOCK94 ROCK ON!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻NIN

Very true artist with the feeling of Purpose is a great key to overcoming much hardships.

Really enjoyed this. Looking forward to some new NIN.

I am very happy to see some new news. I will definitely keep my eyes and ears open.

I need to see the show I have only heard the sound track love it !

God, I loved 12 Rounds and of course NIN The two of them are such a great team! And Trent looks great!

Been hoping to hear the full 12 Rounds album for ages... glad to hear might not be in vain.

That room really suits Trent

Grandfather of Industrial & ambiance, Modern day Hitchcock. The One the Only Legend Trent Reznor. So Glad he's Still Jamming his very distinct version of Biodigital Jazz in these Dark times. Live Long & Shine on you Crazy Diamond

I'm digging Trent's look, it's like a fusion of his young and old styles.

Just wanna say I've been listening since the early 90s and I love all of the soundtracks that they are doing... Can't think of a better way to progress as a musician

amazing interview as always. Thank you !!!

Yes please Atticus please release the 12 Rounds material!!! Such an amazing sound. I’m desperate for this.

Been wondering what these guys have been up to. Thanks for this.

Movies like Social Network and Gone Girl, I had no idea before I watched that Reznor and Ross did the score, but minutes into these movies I looked over to my wife and said, that’s these guys. You two have an amazing sound and partnership. You make these movies better.

This video inspired me to watch the tv show. Very cool concept and soundtrack. Great work guys!

Thanks for sharing !

I love you. Trent I am a big fan of yours.

Trent Wick

I feel so lucky to live in the same time as one of the greatest artists of the last 30 years. It all started out when i was 12 and i bought 'The fragile' and here we are 20 years later...

This is a great interview.

Happiest I’ve seen Trent in aaaaages.

welcome back!

Oh man, trent is really on quarentine mood, that beard! Watchmen ost is just amazing 🧡🧡🧡

I swear, every interview ever with trent, could be a paid for course, and you could call it a master class, and it would not only, NOT be a rip off, it would probably be underpriced.

Amazing chat!

Trent went back to his 1997 look lol

Omg i miss them 💜

I am so pleased to exist in the same time that there is trent reznor and nineinchnails, that is, it is not like having met beethoven that it was a long time ago. I've been to many of their concerts and eras.

I love how goofy he looks with the glasses

Woah great Interview! really cool you got them on a zoom call!!

Legends

thats actually the soundproofing on the door of the basement prison where beefcake nowadays chad Trent keeps skinny 90's goth Trent.

Trents orchestration & layering of melody etc..has been clearly evident right outta the gate....his & Atticus scoring just brought it 2 the major normal masses....by far the best live act EVER TOO 👹

damn trent looks so good

We need Trent now more than ever please release something new during this pandemic to get us through

I want to know all about song choice and how it tied into the plot. Also, super cool and humble guys having a chat about this phenomenal body of work just makes me feel great, like emotional ASMR.

Trent I love you!!! ❤💋

trent looks so cuteee

I enjoyed this conversation. The man with the dark hair, his talking voice reminds me of the man with the dark hair from the star wars movie, the actor that played Han Solo's son. Neat type of voice. I will check out The Watchmen.

Thx for the interview and all the insights. The short comment on politics made me kind of emontional. Good to know how the hero of my past sees america of today.

Hey Trent will you bite the hand that feeds you? Pretty hate machine one of my favorite albums, year zero, love it all. So glad you've remained sober my brutha from anotha mutha. Good on you bro, thanks for decades of work

Wow I’m not sure if I even want to know Trent all that well, I love the music too much.

Damn!!! Trent looks great for 55.

41:00 Had no idea Trent and Atticus worked on the new Pixar film Soul and for Trent to feel intimidated or try to be cover band-ish and then throw away months of work to be more themselves. Can't wait to hear their synthetic part in Soul.

watching this the day before Mank comes out on Netflix and had no idea they were scoring it...JACKPOT!

Really interesting, thanks!

The watchmen soundtrack is brilliant!!! I think it’s Trents best music since the Fragile

Acadamy award winner trent Reznor!

Their Gone Girl OST is fantastic as well

Atticus made a great work for dispatches of elsewhere♥️

Hell yeah, potentially new 12 Rounds album? Please do release it!

Trent your wall is alive mate.

The messiah ty @TrentReznor from the bottom of a million broken, fixed and abandoned souls covered in hesitation marks that you save everyday! Mad love and congratulations

I would love to hear the initial Soul score ideas. Trent and Atticus trying to sound like a Pixar film would be unsettling!! :)

The unreleased 12 rounds songs are the best and should see an offical release, shine on, sioux 85 and exocet... 12 rounds should do another album with these songs, definitely the best material they were coming up with right as nothing was done for.

It looks like Atticus have a voice. I like it.

Would love more 12 Rounds and a release of the score from Touching Evil

Trent looks amazing.

"It's we-eird. It's this thing called the internet." It's strange how funny Trent can be, when he's not being super analytical. Love the analytical, but also love the funny.

12 Rounds is the best band ! Saw you open for Manson and was amazed!

Watchmen imo is their best work since The Social Network. But pretty much everything they have done together is great overall and some it is straight masterpiece level shit.

Would love to hear the 12 Rounds album!

Penguin0, Keanu Reeves, and Trent Reznor are the official trinity of God.

We need a new album.

I'm curious if NIN is going to revisit the Year Zero mythos given how jacked 2020 is

The Trent Reznor aging paradox

I wish these guys HAD performed as Tapeworm. Their stage names could has been Rotten Egg and Burnt Toast. That was good enough for Tapeworm.

I had no idea that Ross met Reznor so far back then. Insane how things play out.

Hopefully we get some new tunes soon.
