What was supposed to be an exciting night for NIN and company turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, David Grohl of the Foo Fighters and Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac were set to close out the 56th Annual Grammy's show. The broadcast ran over from it's ending time at 11:30 EST, meaning that the closing performance was cut short and at the beginning of QOTSA's song "My God Is The Sun" is cut by advertisements and we don't actually get to see the full performance. Trent came out and wrote on twitter, "Music's biggest night... to be disrespected. A heartfelt FUCK YOU guys." Which I don't blame him. Rob Sheridan had sent a tweet out later that the full performance/rehearsal footage will make its way onto YouTube shortly. Let's hope so. The audio mix at the Grammy's was pretty poor for being a big award show. Would love to see/hear it from rehearsal. Some time after Rob sent the tweet, it was deleted.

This was taken from the rehearsal of the Grammy Awards. This is uncut and has the full performance of both songs with no ads! The sound is much better than the live broadcast, in my opinion. They add crowd noise into this mix, as this was done in an empty arena. Amazing quality and I know that the fans of both music groups are happy to see the full, uncut performance.

This is ripped straight from the video of the rehearsal that is also available on the archive. It was in Dolby 5.1 initially, but I converted it to stereo and 44.1 so it can be burned to CD. I also cut out the introduction from LL Cool J so that it's just the song. For the Dolby 5.1 version, I left it "as is." So there is the introduction.
