Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil claims Trent Reznor ‘basically spat his dummy out’ after the Nine Inch Nails leader had a pop at his band during last month’s Reading Festival.
Taking to Twitter after Nine Inch Nails played second on the bill to the band at Reading, Reznor politely asked ‘who the fuck Biffy Clyro are’, and claimed he had been ‘fucked on production’.
“He basically spat his dummy out,” Neil responds, in conversation with Faster Louder. “Nine Inch Nails are a huge band and they’ve been headlining loads of festivals everywhere and I think their manager or someone told him they weren’t headlining Reading and Leeds, God forbid, and he decided to take it out on us.”
“He played with us on the Friday night and there was no problem. He didn’t care about the Leeds bands obviously and he knew damn fine who we were, so I think he was just being obnoxious.”
