Dans une entrevue avec Playboy (aucun lien vous me direz), Trent Reznor aussi communément appelé Nine Inch Nails (bien que ce soit plutôt le nom de son groupe), échange quelques mots à propos de Doom III. C'est de The NIN Hotline que nous vient cette info, et on y apprend aussi que c'est à la page 34 du magazine du mois d'avril 2003 que vous retrouverez l'enrevue complète. Ceci dit, on tombe un peu hors sujet. ;) Voici ce qu'avait à nous dire Trent Reznor :
Mise à jour : J'ai apporté quelques modifications aux propos tenus sur Trent Reznor. Il n'est en effet pas responsable de l'engin sonore mais plutôt des sons qui y voyagent (la création artistique). ;) Merci à WhileIM pour ses quelques précisions. :)
Playboy: How is work on Doom III doing?J'en profite pour rappeler que c'est à Nine Inch Nails qu'est allée la création artistique des sons et peu être aussi de la musique. Des rumeurs voulaient qu'il soit remplacé, mais il n'y a pas eu de suite à ce qu'il semble.
Reznor: It's difficult. Albums and movies move from point A to point B. Video games are harder because the player changes the pace. We end up spending many hours testing how the music sounds in each of the
environments.
Playboy: What do you think of the game so far?
Reznor: Doom III is complex and different. It has narrative, which has never been much of a consideration or strength for Id. John wanted to slow the pace and increase the immersion. I was enthused that it wasn't all action and explosions like some Schwarzenegger movie. It's creepy and filled with tension and dread.
Playboy: What games have you played lately?
Reznor: I really like Ghost Recon and the other online console stuff. And Metroid Prime stole a week of my life.

Je citerais une FAQ pour illustrer et appuyer :<br />
"<br />
Every nine inch nails album to date has been the work of Trent Reznor and<br />
his assistants. Trent incorporates the help of other artists (see album<br />
credits for listing) but has always had total control over his albums.<br />
<br />
Live NIN is an entirely different matter. For the first Lollapalooza<br />
tour, Trent supported himself with a very real band, including the late<br />
Jeff Ward from Lard on drums, Chris Vrenna on drums, Richard Patrick on<br />
guitar, and James Woolley on keyboard. Woolley also toured with the live<br />
band during the Self Destruct and Further Down the Spiral tours. The live<br />
NIN lineup changes a lot. At one point it included Martin Atkins; at<br />
another point, in the early days of the band in Cleveland, apparently it<br />
was just Trent, Richard Patrick, and Chris Vrenna.<br />
<br />
Recently, Trent has been saying nine inch nails is no longer just him,<br />
but his present band consisting of himself, Chris Vrenna, Robin Finck (see<br />
"Robin Fink's stats" for an update), Danny Lohner, and Charlie Clouser. <br />
James Woolley was with the band until the beginning of 1995, and since <br />
then he has been replaced by Charlie Clouser."
