Trent Reznor and Tony Hawk Unite to Share Their Mutual Love of Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode are doing this thing where they’re letting fans run their Facebook page for a year. Today, the fan in charge of their social media presence is skateboarding legend Tony Hawk. “I’ve been a fan of Depeche Mode since hearing ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ and ‘New Life’ on KROQ in 1981,” Hawk wrote in his introductory post. This morning, Trent Reznor emailed Hawk a note about his love of Depeche Mode, which was then shared in the Facebook post below. Reznor wrote about how seeing Depeche Mode in 1986 influenced the writing behind Nine Inch Nails’ Pretty Hate Machine. “Many times, particularly when we’re playing an amphitheater, I’ll think of that show while I’m onstage and hope someone in the audience is in the midst of a perfect summer night feeling how DM made me feel so many years ago.” Read the post below.
