There weren\u2019t many bright spots for fans of hard rock and heavy metal in the 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class, since Judas Priest, Mot\u00f6rhead, and Soundgarden were all shut out. A big exception was the inclusion of Nine Inch Nails<\/a>. Trent Reznor was more surprised by this than just about anyone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m quite in shock,\u201d he told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> shortly after learning the news. \u201cWhen I look back at how Nine Inch Nails are received, it always seems like we fall between the cracks or we\u2019re not in this category or \u2018that thing.\u2019 I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a defense mechanism, but I just assumed we\u2019d stay in that category, so I\u2019m pleasantly surprised to see us acknowledged. It feels pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nine Inch Nails have an enormous cult audience and continue to headline festivals and pack arenas whenever they tour, but the mainstream culture hasn\u2019t paid them much attention since the mid-Nineties when The Downward Spiral<\/em> introduced teens all over America to industrial music and Trent Reznor became an unlikely MTV star.<\/p>\n

Weeks after the release of the \u201cMarch of the Pigs\u201d single in February 1994, the video even showed up on Beavis and Butt-Head<\/a>\u2019s TV screen. They spent much of the video banging their heads, commenting on Reznor\u2019s \u201cshiny pants,\u201d and complaining that the \u201cdoesn\u2019t it make you feel better\u201d part was too soft. \u201cThis part of the song sucks,\u201d said Butt-Head. \u201cThese guys need to just concentrate on rocking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reznor has come a long way since those days. He\u2019s now the father to five children, an elder statesmen of rock and the creator of the some of the most acclaimed film scores in the past decade of cinema, even winning an Academy Award for his work on The Social Network<\/em>. But at May\u2019s Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the old Trent will come out when it\u2019s time to play some of the classics. And Beavis and Butt-Head, wherever they are these days, will surely be delighted.<\/p>\n
