Jetzt hat Trent sich endlich auch über das Drama an den Drums geäussert, gestern im Spiral-Chat:
mkivett: Can you please clarify the situation with Jerome Dillon in regards to the conflicting reports we’ve been hearing?
trent_reznor: Here’s the truth: regardless of what he apparently now wants you to believe, we cancelled several shows due to his heart. He told me „I have a clean bill of health“ and shortly thereafter he spent the night again in the hospital. We auditioned drummers to complete the tour – with full disclosure to Jerome. He reacted poorly to us finding someone and choosing to finish this current leg of the tour with that person. Tempers flared and the decision to permanently replace him was made – by everyone in the band and management. Jerome is a great drummer and I truly wish him well – sometimes he just seems to get his facts a little mixed up.
Und als kleiner Nachschlag in einem Thread über die Inhalte des Chats:
trent_reznor: „Next, I’ve seen a lot of you get all worked up taking sides and whatnot over the Jerome situation. Guess what? It’s none of your fucking business. You don’t know Jerome, you don’t know me and you sure as fuck don’t know what’s been going on. And while I’m at it… it really doesn’t matter what gets done for you people – there’s always someone bitching and bitching about one thing or another.
Flame away, internet whiners.“
Da hat aber einer gute Laune…
