Trent Reznor - eyes without a face

[@MedalionDS9]

Imagine during a NIN convert, he busts out this cover in this exact style

[@runningonemptyofficial]

No he just comes out in the same clothing and plays it with the same band

[@redplague]

He'd have to have a sense of humour to do that. In reality he would probably consider why he wants to do this and what are the pros and cons.

Awww. Who's my pretty little hate machine?

[@as-hamadheisc2081]

The guy singing the Les yeux sans visage part has a hell of a voice.

[@honus64]

I used to go to a club called RJ's in Youngstown to hear Trent and Mike and can't remember the other guy's name... the Urge. They even played at our prom! I remember them doing Def Leppard Covers.. so funny!

[@failedfilmmaker]

honus64 Trent Reznor played your prom? Amazing

[@Subscriber-gt7mz]

WOW, we had a high school student DJ at our prom

[@thegrandexchange]

I never knew this!!! I've lived in Youngstown my whole life, knew he was raised down the road in Mercer/New Castle. Do you remember the road that RJ's is on? Would love to know if they're still in business

[@MikoPeru]

​@failedfilmmaker I want to hate you out of jealousy but I just can't because that's too awesome!

Whoever the person is doing the background vocals are doing a hell of a job. Especially considering he's a man hitting notes like that. WOw.

[@dougbutler8650]

Mike Baranski

[@Takac1979]

As a Billy Idol fan I can say this is a very decent cover!

[@scottlamoureux9224]

Janko Takac very much so it matches well with billy

[@everennui1]

I think the arpeggiated synth around the 4:10 part could have been expanded on a little bit to make it more unique, but they were really true to the original. even the guitar tone was spot on.

[@luxmundiofficial]

Dang, Trent. This cover is dead on and he even used the same drum machine and some very similar sounds. Shows how talented he was even then and how good his ear is.

[@jimkovac915]

You nailed it Trent, well done.

[@LochNessHamster]

I see what you did there...

[@MrJorgebotello1]

Jim Kovac with a nail

[@justin410x]

He nine inch nailed it...

[@mikemcdaniel7328]

These guys are tight. Solid cover. The talent is obvious.

[@Trepidity]

Totally agree.

[@justin410x]

Yeah they’re good. Wonder if they ever amounted to anything.

Priceless!! Very pretty love machine.

[@raymondfiammetta72]

A very young little Trent Reznor.

[@JDsgreatz28]

Sure it's dated, but damn that sounds pretty great for being live. Trent is right in tune and it almost sounds to good to be live, but I've seen NIN live and still can't compare anything to it sounded so good. That's the louded clearest anything I've ever heard in my life. He must be a perfectionist which pays off for us 👍

[@happyhappyjoyjoy9795]

Well, he is a Taurus #May17

[@pollypickpocket2540]

this is fucking adorable!!

[@softbatch1]

I actually love this. So cute.

[@maalbe987]

Never realized until now that Trent & Billy actually have fairly similar voices.

[@jvig7353]

Seriously, no jokes, this is a damn good cover.

[@davecrowley3387]

Best comment : "Disturbingly Faithful"

[@Abarataba]

Awwwww, teenage Reznor. So fucking adorable. I wish he would do a cover of this now...

[@iseespotspa]

This was a band called "The Urge" Mike Baranski on guitar, Steve Jaworski on Bass. They were a great live band back in the 80's

[@spoiled_sushi2031]

I could cry that i found this.

[@rocznik83]

Trent Reznor playing a cover that would not be out of place on a wedding with a bunch of Polish dudes is something I did not expect to see in my life.

[@easycure1000]

I LOVE THIS MAN:(

[@erinwalker6185]

You could tell right away that Trent Reznor had it in him. Big things would come to him, eventually. They would come to him on 10/20/89 when Nine Inch Nails released "Pretty Hate Machine".

[@yosemitetony]

Damn good for a teenager.

[@YeahManMillionaire]

Absolutely adorable. Never thought I'd say that about Trent Reznor. This is kawaii level cute.

[@annastatsea]

I had no idea he created this version so happy Love this!!!! I am such a fan of NIN and Billy Idol this cover is a dream both sensual powerful artist!!!!!

[@JoshYates]

after his dark night of the soul, trent's creative genius reached beyond human (while remaining human). amazing!

[@elliottcovert8079]

Wow, that's a pitch perfect cover!

[@saintjabroni]

[@skylab20]

The bridge into the guitar and synths half way through and is one of the best EVER! Love Idol, Love Trent!

[@kutcharaninfan]

I wish I could have Trents love for music about ANYTHING

[@ExitDomina]

It's all about the hair tug and the 'look' at the end of the song. What a ham! God I love this guy...

[@paulstaker8861]

Nice to see Reznor doing different stuff time to time.

This is actually a good ass song. Trent should cover it in an updated version

[@derekbrainard]

Trent Reznor faithfully recreated this song. Almost sounds like the studio instrumental. Vocals are perfect!

[@ainsofar]

awesome song. trent rules. and yes he sang happiness in slavery. Everyone is free to do and create as their will lets them and once done they move on only a fool would think they stood in the same river twice.
