Trent Reznor FIRED his Nine Inch Nails bandmate for messing up.
Adrian Belew told Greg Prato on Ultimate-Guitar's On The Record, "After 17 days [of rehearsals], he said that some of the guys in the band weren't comfortable with me. They didn't feel like I was doing my parts right and that I knew the songs as good as I should.
And I said, 'Listen, I can tell you for sure – this is 17 days in. I'm still working out ideas of sounds and things. I'm not even worried about the songs.' But those were 'LA kind of players,' you know? And in my mind, they have very little imagination, I'll put it that way. So he said, 'It's time for you to go.'"
"He was very upset about it himself. He said, 'You're my favorite player in the world, but if my guys in the band don't want you in the band… then there's nothing I can do.' It was terrible, really."
