Last nights
Grammy Awards ceremony was meant to
end with a bang, especially considering that the final performance for the evening included some of rocks greatest talent including Trent Reznor (
Nine Inch Nails), Lindsey Buckingham (
Fleetwood Mac), Dave Grohl (
Foo Fighters), and Josh Homme (
Queens of the Stone Age).
Instead of being treated to an absolute musical extravaganza, viewers at home got to watch a reasonably good live performance of the Nine Inch Nails' track 'Copy of a,' followed by a much better performance of the Queens of the Stone Age track 'My god is the sun.' Well, that was what everyone was anticipating, but because the ceremony was running late, the guys in charge decided it was time cut off Homme and the boys and let every one at home know where the Grammy Awards got there money from before rolling the final credits.
As a result Reznor had the following tweet for the people behind the Grammy Awards:
Subsequently all videos of the performance have been removed with the organisers claiming copyright infringements. This prompted Spencer Kaufman across at
Loudwire to write an
open letter to the producers of
Grammy Awards. It's an interesting read and points out a lot more of underlying issues within the 'music industry.'
