Trent Reznor angrily tweets after Grammys producers cut his performance short: 'Music's biggest night... to be disrespected'

Beyoncé and Jay Z started the Grammys off with a performance a highly sexualized performance of Bey's new single "Drunk In Love," but it's not like the first minute of her performance was cut off on the telecast. Unfortunately, the night's powerhouse closers Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age and Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham performance wasn't given the same respect and was cut short at the end of the show.

And the Nine Inch Nails frontman is not happy about it. Shortly after the program (and likely right after he found out his gig had the plug pulled), Reznor lashed out against the Grammys and CBS on Twitter.

"Music's biggest night... to be disrespected. A heartfelt F*** YOU guys," he wrote shortly after the show.

Reznor was onstage with the previously mentioned rock gods to perform a medley of songs, including his Hesitation Marks cut "Copy of A" and Queens of the Stone Age's "My God is the Sun."

In defense of the Grammys' producers, the show was running nearly half an hour longer than its schedules three and a half hours, as award shows are apt to do. Moreover, the final performance of the night getting cut off from the broadcast is a common occurrence. It happened to Arcade Fire in 2011, for instance, when they performed "Ready To Start."

Reznor was nominated for one Grammy last night, for Best Alternative Rock Album, but he lost out to Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City.
