Hard to believe, but last night’s appearance by Nine Inch Nails on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” was billed as the band’s first-ever network television performance. Trent Reznor and Co., in Los Angeles to play the Staples Center tonight, performed a mini concert on Kimmel’s outdoor stage, with Hesitation Marks slow-burner “All Time Low” getting aired on the show.
Below, check out the clip.

Yeah. This is not exactly the sort of stuff I had hoped to hear from Trent upon his return. One of the many disappointments from the new album. I didn’t sign up as a NIN fan for the funk quotient, lol. I understand artists evolve… that doesn’t mean I have to enjoy everything they do.
If you’ve been following Nine Inch Nails, Trent and Atticus, or HTDA – You’d not be surprised by the sound of this new album. Exactly what I hoped it would be and quite possible my favorite NIN album.
Great performances last night too!
Totally disagree. I love this song. Sounds fantastic live also.
He went to a lot of trouble just to rewrite Bowie’s “Fame.”
You nailed it!
TrentR is perfect. His art form leaves everyone catching up. :( A decade long gap is unfortunate but necessary. Get informed thx~
This “buff as a cloud” Trent sucks!
And YES, the riff is clearly a Fame-Carlos Alomar rip-off
Hmmm, first-ever network television appearance? If you count the USA network, that would have to be in 1989 on Dance Party USA:

‘im oooooollld… and i haaaavvvee a lot of monnneeey!! THIS FUCKING SUCKS! i hate this new material.
This is one of my favorites from the new album. I think we should give him the room to try new things.
This was pretty boring for me. NIN with backup singers? Trent is showing his age and losing his edge. I listened to this album many times trying to like it, but for me it just sounds like he’s trying to rekindle a sound that he done when he first started. What I can say that I liked about it is that I am glad that he brought electronics back into his music
It is clear that the new Nine Inch Nails will divide fans’ opinions, but I am one of the listeners who are truly surprised how good “Hesitation Marks” is.
As a true Cabaret Voltaire fan I am delighted to hear Trent Reznor using the electro-funk pattern of the Sheffield legends to create probably his best album.
And I just prefer Nine Inch Nails to sound more like Prince/David Bowie rather than like some tired “metal-post-hardcorish” band.
I actually like the new album, I think it’s pretty good.
Yes…it is pretty good. I didn’t really even listen to Year Zero or The Slip, but I like this one.
The second half of the song is good.
