Reznor vented his frustration on Twitter earlier this week after the final jam of the Grammys — featuring Nine Inch Nails, Queens Of The Stone Age, Dave Grohl, and Fleetwood Mac’s Lyndsey Buckingham — was cut off for promoting their sponsors and rolling credits.

Ehrlich spoke to Hollywood Reporter about the situation.
