TRENT REZNOR PLAYS A BILLY IDOL SONG IN HIS EARLY 80S ‘NEW WAVE’ COVER BAND
Who’s this fresh-faced New Waver with the asymmetric poodle hairdo? (Hint: It’s not one of the Thompson Twins).
Nope, it’s future Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor back in the early 1980s playing and singing a cover of Billy Idol’s “Eyes Without a Face” with his Cleveland, OH bandmates in “The Urge.”
Both astonishing and completely ridiculous.
And there is more where that came from…
Option 30 (what a shit name for a band) doing a cover of Joe Jackson’s “Look Sharp.”
