Reznor Criticizes Prince and Rivers Cuomo

Trent Reznor might've fired up his pretty hate machine once again, taking aim this time at both Prince and Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo.

It all started when fans submitted questions to the Nine Inch Nails mastermind, with one asking if Reznor had plans to release any unreleased Nine Inch Nails tunes. Reznor said there weren't any unreleased NIN songs, adding, "I'm not Prince or Rivers Cuomo who brags about having hundreds of great songs. And to that I would say, Prince, if you have a hundred great songs or a thousand, how about picking a few and putting them on your record that you've put out because your last several have sucked."

"Same for you, Rivers," Reznor added. "I say that constructively, you know."

During the interview, Reznor also took the time to publicly acknowledge his recent engagment to West Indian Girl singer Mariqueen Maandig.

"I may be happy and engaged but I can still be a prick," he said.
