Nine Inch Nails have cancelled their performance at the MTV Movie Awards because of a disagreement with the network over the bands use of a George W. Bush picture.
Apparently the image of our president is as offensive to MTV as it is to me, frontman Trent Reznor posted on NINs Web site Thursday.
The band was planning to perform its politically charged single The Hand That Feeds with the Bush image as a backdrop. The song features the lyrics, Inside your heart it is black and its hollow and its cold . . . Theres a price to be paid for the blood on which we dine/Justified in the name of the holy and the divine.
While we respect Nine Inch Nails point of view, we were uncomfortable with their performance being built around a partisan political statement, said an MTV spokesperson. When we discussed our discomfort with the band, their choice was to unfortunately pull out of the Movie Awards.
