Rock-star feuds are being facilitated by Twitter, and the results are kind of hillarious. According to Spinner.com Trent Reznor, the man behind Nine Inch Nails, has publicly voiced his disappointment with Chris Cornell's new musical direction through Twitter. As mentioned in an earlier post, Cornell, ex-singer for both Soundgarden and Audioslave, has released a new R&B-inspired solo album called Scream. Reznor, and a large portion of fans, are none too happy with Cornell's musical experimentation. Reznor's twitter post reads:
"You know that feeling you get when somebody embarrasses themselves so badly YOU feel uncomfortable? Heard Chris Cornell's record? Jesus."
Cornell has responded to Reznor's comment through Twitter as well. His post from two days ago reads "what do you think Jesus would twitter? 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' or 'Has anyone seen Judas? He was here a minute ago.'" Judging by his use of biblical allusions to hypocrisy and betrayal as a response to Reznor's mention of Jesus, Cornell does not seem to be taking the criticism lightly. It will be interesting to see how this dispute plays out, and if it will bear any consequences for these two musical giants.
