Nine Inch Nails debuted a cover of Joy Division’s “Digital” during the final show of their three-night stand at The Joint in Las Vegas. Later in the show, the band invited new wave pioneer Gary Numan to help them cover his 1979 track “Metal” (NIN covered the tune on their remix album Things Falling Apart in 2000).
Other highlights included a “cover” of David Bowie’s “I’m Afraid Of Americans”—a tune that Reznor co-wrote and recorded with the late legend—and the live debut of the new Bad Witch track, “Ahead Of Ourselves”. The show also featured plenty of NIN favorites, including classic songs like “March of the Pigs,” “Wish” and “Hurt”.
As previously NIN just added a number of dates to their upcoming fall tour, which will consist of a multi-night runs at theaters across the country.
