Trent Reznor Says “Fuck You” to the Grammys

by | Jan 27, 2014

We don’t pay too much attention to the Grammys around here, but last night’s award show has Trent Reznor giving “a heartfelt fuck you” to music’s biggest night.

The Grammys closed with a set featuring Nine Inch Nails, Queens Of The Stone Age, Dave Grohl, and Fleetwood Mac’s Lyndsey Buckingham. They teamed up for a collaborative performance of NIN’s “Copy Of A” and Queens Of The Stone Age’s “My God Is The Sun.”

Sounds good, right? But get this — the finale went a little too long, so the Grammys pulled the plug. They cut the set short by promoting their sponsors and rolling credits over the performance. And Trent Reznor isn’t one to be disrespected.

He took his frustration out on Twitter, “Music’s biggest night… to be disrespected.  A heartfelt FUCK YOU guys.”

We tried to find footage, but  apparently all videos of the performance have been blocked on YouTube by the Grammys on copyright grounds.
