Our take: Before Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor cleaned up, cut his hair, released four albums a year and pioneered online music distribution, he spent quite a bit of stage-time in a destructive rampage. He didn't stop at guitars, but smashed keyboards and hurled mic stands into drum sets. But lest you think he's mellowed out, these days while you might not leave with a guitar splinters in your eye, the light show could definitely trigger a seizure.
