Hier einige Zitate von Leuten,
die am Projekt beteiligt waren. oben
Ich habe das mal von der inzwischen irgendwie verschwundenen
Seite "Charlie Clouser - The Remix Files"
übernommen... Ich würd ja um Erlaubnis fragen, aber
die Seite war so plötzlich weg und ich weiß nicht, wen
ich fragen soll.
Jerome
Dillon (Nine Inch Nails) = "As for Tapeworm...
We are all basically tired of talking about it -with nothing to back it up.
Trent [Reznor] and Danny [Lohner] decided to start working again a few months
back and Atticus [Ross] from 12 Rounds is helping to flesh out new ideas... I
did work on several of the tracks -but they were the basic ideas with Trent
playing bass and programming and me playing drums..." ("Jeromedillon.net
Forum" June '02)
Charlie
Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = I'm getting back into the
swing of generating beats and basslines and stuff for new Tapeworm/nin/whatever projects, which
Trent is also doing down in studio A as we speak. So the pile of half-finished
song ideas gets bigger and bigger! But there has been a few bits and pieces of
press announcing that Tapeworm
will have a fall release date, so I guess we had better get on the stick
fast... " ("The Remix Files" March '01)
Phil
Anselmo (Pantera) = "Believe it or not, all I
did was sing to f**king songs for them. It was just me and [NIN multi-instrumentalist]
Danny Lohner f**king around. I really didn't know if anything was going to come
of it. I guess since the Nine Inch Nails record flopped or something like that
I guess they've been trying to figure themselves out." ("Kerrang!"
February '01)
Trent
Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) = "The track everyone is
talking about [played by A Perfect Circle during their Portland, Oregon
show] is entitled 'Vacant' and was musically initially written by Danny,
re-arranged by Charlie, lyrics and melody by Maynard, the chorus by me, and
sung by Maynard with backing vocals by myself. This happened to be the first
properly 'demoed' Tapeworm song
of a collection of many. I have to admit I find it mildly irritating for it to
debut in this fashion (APC's live set) before feeling it has been properly
realized." (Official Nin Forum February '01)
Charlie
Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "I spent most of
Nov./Dec. [2000] working here in New
Orleans with Page Hamilton,
writing more songs for his project and for my 'Tapeworm'
songpile. We got a lot done and we're both pleased. (...) Trent
has been talking lots about Tapeworm
in the press, and the two of us made some new music beds to turn into songs for
the future, so perhaps 2001 will actually be the year it happens!"
("The Remix Files" January '01)
Trent
Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) = "I'm hesitant to say too
much about Tapeworm right now,
other than it's a priority. Right now I¹m starting a new NIN record, working on
Tapeworm and starting a new side
project that is healthy for me as an artist. Tapeworm
is getting its identity right now for their participation. People who have
participated include Maynard from Tool and Page, ex-Helmet. Right now, I'm
making sure that when Tapeworm
does come out, it sounds like a band and not a collection of different singers
over different sounding songs. There are people involved who I don¹t want to
confirm until I know it can happen. The people you mentioned [Chris Vrenna,
Richard Patrick and Marilyn Manson] are not out of the question."
("Yahoo!/Spin Chat" November '00)
Charlie
Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "I also finally finished
a good mix of the Tapeworm song
with Maynard and Trent, and I'm hoping to use this time to move that project
forward with some other singers, since we may not tour again until after
Christmas; but we may go out before then if we can get it together in time."
("The Remix Files" September '00)
Page
Hamilton
= "The Tapeworm
stuff is still hanging out, waiting for a break in the Nine Inch Nails action.
I guess I left them with maybe three songs worth of material." ("BowieNet
Live Chat w/ Page Hamilton"
September '00)
Charlie
Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "It looks like we may be
in New Orleans
for August and September or parts thereof. Also Maynard is writing vocals for
another track that Danny and I did. I almost finished the first Maynard song,
but not quite. That will have to wait until New
Orleans also."
("The Remix Files" June '00)
Maynard
James Keenan (A Perfect
Circle / Tool) = "That's
another thing that's buried on a computer somewhere. It's like the sasquatch or
something, it's rumoured to exist. Every now and then a farmer in Nebraska
will spot a riff or a melody....." ("Kerrang!"
April '00)
Charlie
Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "I'll let you be the
first to have a tidbit of info: I just finished a week of working here at my
studio in New Orleans with Page Hamilton (Helmet) on a few new songs, three or
four of which will probably be on his next album, and four or five of which
will be Tapeworm songs. This is
the second time we've done this; we were writing new material as well as
polishing things from our first writing session last year. There are a few very
heavy songs with Helmet-style guitar married to hype programmed beats, as well
as some ambient-ish dark songs with no drums, and even a fast four-on-the-floor
track with lots of dark tones." ("The Remix Files"
March '00)
Charlie
Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "Well, I think that
Trent's original idea for the Tapeworm
project was that we all made some stuff together which doesn't fall into NIN
criteria. We also added a few things that do not immediately sound like Nine
Inch Nails, but they expand boundaries without destroying the very strong
identity that he's (Trent)
created over the years. As we were trying to create some ideas for the last
record Danny and I created rhythm, bass and drum patterns, that were good and
we wanted to work on them though they didn't seem right for a NIN record right
away, so we tried to find a framework, that would allow us to work with different
people like Maynard from TOOL, and Phil Anselmo from Pantera. We already got a
few demos recorded that are somewhat different from "The Fragile",
but they also don't detract the image that Trent
had created for NIN over the years."
("Makakofonia" '99)
Charlie
Clouser (Nine Inch Nails) = "One song complete and
recorded. (Maynard from Tool, and Trent singing) Three others demo'd and
partially recorded (with Phil Anselmo and Page Hamilton, among others). Nine or
ten promising tracks in the pile. But quite busy with band rehearsals right
now. Hopefully finish more songs winter spring. (?)" (Official Nin
Forum, '99)
Trent
Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) = "The idea behind it was -
a couple of members of my band, Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser - it started
as kind of a dumping ground for ideas they might have that weren't right for
Nine Inch Nails, and it's kind of evolved into having its own identity where
tentatively I'm more the singer/producer and they're wiring the music. It's
more of a collaborative thing. (...) I want those guys to contribute things and
once in a while I'll come up with something that I think is cool, but it's not
the giant leap. Like, if I think the Nine Inch Nails record has to be all dobro
and Jew's harp, then it has to be that. But maybe I'll write a cool fuckin'
riff that isn't right for whatever new artistic plateau I'm hoping for Nine
Inch Nails, and if I establish this other ground as a place to relax and have
fun and maybe make even better music, that's what Tapeworm initially was." ("Raygun" '97).
Trent
Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) = "Tapeworm is something we had
talked about for the longest time, but it got lost when I was doing "The
Fragile". Today, it regains shape; there are some loan certificates. The
starting point of Tapeworm, it
is a democracy between the members of NIN, Danny Lohner and Charlie Clouser in
particular. We want to do something of rather obvious, fun, without pressure,
of the good aggressive music, which would not tally with Nine Inch Nails, less
considered, more spontaneous. It is a project really for the fun. We want to
work with various singers for this disc: Maynard of Tool and Phil of Pantera -
I am fan of Pantera! It is a good mean of escaping the constant pressure that
there is with Nine Inch Nails. (Tapeworm
will be) more "in your face" than Nine Inch Nails, something you can
listen very loud in your car ! (...) In terms of recording, it is currently our
priority. But there is the NIN tour; therefore I do not know too much when one
will start to it. I think nevertheless that that should be available to spring
2000." ("Hard Rock" '99)
Danny
Lohner (Nine Inch Nails) = "We did some really heavy
NIN-meets-Pantera stuff with Phil Anselmo. We also did some mellow Pink Floyd
'The Wall'-type songs with him where he actually sings. The stuff we did
with Maynard [James Keenan from Tool] has very psychedelic, groove-oriented
verses and anthemic choruses. Tapeworm's
music is electronic with big guitars, beats and melodic yet aggressive vocals.
It's something that Trent
will bring up every couple of weeks - and every couple of months we'll do some
work on it." ("Kerrang!", '99)
Tommy Victor (Prong) = "I don't know
how far that's going to go. They had a whole bunch of loops and drum program
stuff for me to jam on top of. I think (Charlie Clouser)'s going to pile it all
into the computer, and he'll see if he's going to use any Tommy Victor stuff on
it. I'm pretty confident that a lot of the shit I came up with in the week I
was down there working on it - some of it's pretty keepable." ("Rocknet"
'97)
