To the people that say their last two albums suck, go check out the Hinder article and take a look into them. For everybody with a brain get those two albums, and all these rest of their shit, because QOTSA is one of the best bands going in the last 10 years, beyond any doubt. They are sex, drugs and rock n roll for the new generation, and they are just now starting to make it to the levels they should have been at in 2002. I also liked the Radiohead questions. Linking up my two favorite bands in this article was great. Thanks Johnny Firecloud. Love this interview, Josh always honest and never afraid to say it the way it is.

NIN became popular not because of some parasitic label but because of a variety of factors: a live show that is destructive and aggressive, as seen on Lollapalooza 1991 and Woodstock 1994; a slew of great albums, including a masterpiece called “The Downward Spiral” in 1994; the Year Zero ARG that was TR’s enterprise and not UMG’s; TR’s willingness to create an “official” remix presence on nin.com, which was initially blocked by UMG, even after NIN left UMG and a general willingness by TR to stand up for the “little fan” against UMG’s “ripping off the converted” price policy for Year Zero in Australia.
