Nina Inch Nails dropped a cover of David Bowie's hit song "I'm Afraid of Americans" during their performance in the Sin City.
The band's performance took place during their first show in Las Vegas on June 13. The band's set at that time consisted of 19 different songs. Nine Inch Nails frontman, Trent Reznor, contributed to Bowie's 1997 classic "I'm Afraid of Americans." This could be the reason why the band decided to play the track during their performance.
Nine Inch Nails Las Vegas Performance
An over five-minute clip of Nine Inch Nails' performance was also uploaded on YouTube. It opens with Reznor holding his microphone and singing lines to Bowie's single. He has a somber look on his face during the first few lines of "I'm Afraid of Americans."
Few seconds into his performance, Reznor gives the track all he has got. He rocks out on stage and plays with the microphone. He also approached his fans and sand in front of them.
In related news, Nine Inch Nails also covered Gary Numan's song, "Metal," in Las Vegas this week. According to one publication, Wednesday's show was not the first time that Nine Inch Nails performed "Metal." However, it was the band's first in nine years.
