რას მოვესწარით, კორონა ვირუსის გამო 2020 წლის Rock and Roll Hall of fame დაჯილდოების ცერემონიალი ინტერნეტით ჩატარდა.
წარდგენის ვიდეოები იგი პოპისგან და შარლიზ ტერონისგან ინტერნეტში არ დევს, HBO-ს საავტორო უფლებების გამო.
მაგრამ გვაქვს ტექსტური ვერსიები.
“When I first heard about Nine Inch Nails and I heard a little of their music, I thought, ‘Well, who is this guy?’,” Iggy said during his induction speech. “So I took a look and I saw a face straight out of 15th century Spain. I think Trent could have played Zorro.
“If he’d been alive at the right time, I think he could have been painted by Velasquez or El Greco, and his portrait would probably hang in the Prado today.
“Listening to Nine Inch Nails’ music — which is so often called ‘industrial’ — I actually hear a lot of funk,” Pop said in his induction speech. “Just listen to ‘Closer,’ and the foundation could be Stevie Wonder or George Clinton, but on top of that is a focused and relentless process of emotional destruction which paints a portrait of pain, pressure, and dissatisfaction.”
Pop continued, “It’s the soundtrack to the dark and lonely party that was beginning to play out in America at that period.” Pop, a magnetic frontman in his own right, also compared Reznor to Marc Bolan, Kurt Cobain, and Bob Dylan, each of whom had the ability “simply to connect” with their audience.
Speaking of his experience going to see a Nine Inch Nails show at the Forum in Los Angeles, where they played with David Bowie, Iggy said: “Trent held the centre of that room just by being a kind of dark spot, hunched behind the mic. I’ve seen the same thing accomplished in different ways by T. Rex at Wembley, Nirvana at the Pyramid Club, and Bob Dylan in ’65. This is the mark of the master artist, simply to connect.
“The controversial and brilliant French novelist Michel Houellebecq, when asked the secret of his success, said, “It’s easy: Just tell the truth.” Listening to Nine Inch Nails feels like hearing the truth, so it get you a little bit closer to God. It is my honor to assist in inducting Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”
“Depeche Mode is the soundtrack of my Life” Theron said during her induction speech. “I’m not kidding — there was literally a song for every occasion of my life: my first date, my first time leaving South Africa, and of course the first time I got my heart broken.
“And so when I finally got to see them live a couple of years ago, it was like this epic slap in the face of nostalgia. But more than that, when I was at the show I realized what else I loved about their music: They celebrate the outsider. Their music brings people together from all different walks of life and makes them feel like it’s OK to be different.
“That really hit me watching the videos at the concert. I was moved to tears. I came home, I told my daughters about it, and I was also really fucking pissed because I don’t usually go to rock concerts to bawl my eyes out.”
