Nine Inch Nails

"The idea was to put together a rock concert that was a one night affair," Farrell remembers. "We were something brand new — we were called alternative rock. Jane's Addiction by themselves probably couldn't have brought in 20,000 kids, but we had strength in numbers. If we invited a bunch of our friends like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Nine Inch Nails and Butthole Surfers ... people like that, all of a sudden you're going to get the attention of the underground. And it worked out. So we started to draw kids, 10,000-20,000 per city."
