This journey’s far from over, if I have any say in it, so let’s stop fucking around, patting ourselves on the back, and get to it. Hope to see you all in the flesh soon. Thank you."</blockquote>
==Comments Documentary segment comments==A documentary segment in between the induction speech and the acceptance speech featured comments from various music industry figures, chopped up and interspersed with interview bits and other artists==clips of Reznor. '''Rick Rubin''': "Nine Inch Nails was always outsider music. The rest of the culture is moving and changing in a certain way. And they were always outside of it." '''Miley Cyrus''': "They're a testament that you can make infectious music that you can't get enough of." '''Jimmy Iovine''': "Trent has a enormous impact culturally. His psyche is the lead instrument of that band." '''St. Vincent''': "'[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]' has two fucking choruses. If you're trying to think of that song, that's the song that's like 'bow down before ..' oh, wait, no! Then it's uh 'head like a ..' oh, wait! Both of those are great choruses and they're in the same song." '''Saul Williams''': "There's that similarity with an artist like Prince where you know that a lot of those songs came from late night solo ventures into the self." '''Rick Rubin''': "Trent brings in collaborators and other players but it is a singular vision and that vision is his." '''Jimmy Iovine''': "Nine Inch Nails is a pure, raw-nerve emotion. It appeals to you and freaks you out at the same time." '''David Fincher''': "There are a lot of people who can write a good lick or produce something that's eminently hum-able. But it's when somebody drops something in your lap...that has to be dealt with, that's the difference." '''St. Vincent''': "Nine Inch Nails came out of the industrial scene of the '80s, and made heavy, corrosive industrial goth music massively popular and made it something that suburban kids were wearing t-shirts of." '''Saul Williams''': "It's a huge influence on a generation of kids that needed direction. I mean, I could be funny about it and say, 'Yeah, he helped a lotta suburban white kids make sense of their lives,' you know? And, um..But in a great way though. In a great fuckin' '''Mark Ronson''': "I was at that age, 14, I was angsty as fuck and I wanted rebellion music too. It was really like one of those records that you just hear you go, 'Oh, that's what I like now." '''Miley Cyrus''': "You feel a sense of, "I'm not alone 'cause someone else has felt this way." Their music kind of erases loneliness in a way." '''Jimmy Iovine''': "To me, 'Closer' was a next jump for him." '''St. Vincent''': "The performance at Woodstock in the mud, that's gonna be in my brain forever. They just created this world that was tumbling towards hell in the best possible way." '''Miley Cyrus''': "You really start to have this deep appreciation for the melodies. And when you have a great melody it can lend itself to any genre. I think that's how a song becomes classic." '''David Fincher''': "''[[Ghosts I-IV|Ghosts]]'' was a collection that I returned to often. And on ''[[The Social Network Soundtrack|Social Network]]'' we just kept temping it with stuff from ''Ghosts''." '''Jimmy Iovine''': "I've now seen all their movies. And the music that they do for those movies is as interesting and as powerful as Nine Inch Nails." '''Jimmy Iovine''': "A good way to look at music is to look on the past. NWA. The Clash. Patti Smith. We've had those moments where complete anarchy of music and the culture collide and you get people that are ahead of their time. That's where Nine Inch Nails to me, fits." TBA'''David Fincher''': "There are best hits, you know, and then there's a body of work. It's a sense of a progression through the not knowing and the finding the vulnerability of that and the triumph of it. And it's rare."
