Reznor’s Not a Chris Cornell Fan
If you didn’t know already, Chris Cornell recently released a solo album entitled “Scream”. The music for this new project is a vast departure from Cornell’s work with Soundgarden and Audioslave, as the album features dance beats and sampling, which is a leap away from his roots in the grunge rock movement.
As the album was produced by Timbaland, it is gaining Cornell a slew of new fans as the material boarders on the line between rock and pop. Yet, not everyone is a fan of his new material and some are shocked by his crossover to the pop world, including Nine Inch Nails front man, Trent Reznor.
Reznor took to his Twitter account yesterday to express his feelings about Cornell’s new material. He wrote: “You know that feeling you get when somebody embarrasses themselves so badly YOU feel uncomfortable? Heard Chris Cornell’s record? Jesus.”
Chartattack.com reports that while Reznor might be disheartened by Cornell, he will be performing with Cornell’s former band mate, Tom Morello, when touring this summer. NIN, Jane’s Addiction and Morello’s side project, Street Sweeper, will share a stage when they tour across North America in the upcoming months. “We are aiming to make this much more than just three acts sharing a bill…,” Reznor wrote on the NIN website.
