This Nine Inch Nails Parody Is Dead-On

"This Is a Trent Reznor Song"...or is it?

03.28.2014 | Matt Fox |

If you’re an industrial alt-rocker, here’s a little something fun to launch you into the weekend.

It was just about two months ago that Trent Reznor told The Grammys to “F*** Off” for cutting his group performance with Lindsey Buckingham and Dave Grohl. Now, in honor of all of the awesomeness that is Reznor, check out this NIN-style parody tune by a kid named Frederick “Freddy” Scott. He pretty much nails it, from the audio aesthetic straight on through to the art-house music video.

So, will Reznor’s Twitter temper target Freddy next? Time will tell, but in the meantime, listen to this and tell me it isn’t a dead-ringer for a “Hesitation Marks” single.
