PanARMENIAN.Net - Nine Inch Nails played their first gig of the year on July 19, debuting new songs well as covering David Bowie, NME said.

Bowie and Reznor were close friends and collaborators – touring with each other in the ’90s as well as well working together on ‘I’m Afraid Of Americans’. Reznor also turned to Bowie for help overcoming drug addiction.

Then at the first show of their current tour at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, California, NIN delivered a sombre cover of ‘I Can’t Give Everything Away’ – the closing track on Bowie’s final album ‘Blackstar‘.

“We didn’t release it,” Reznor told the crowd, “but we will play it for you tonight.”

As well as a huge set loaded with classics including ‘March Of The Pigs’, ‘Closer’, ‘The Hand That Feeds’, ‘Head Like A Hole’ and ‘Hurt’, Nine Inch Nails also gave the live debut to new songs ‘Branches / Bones’, ‘Burning Bright (Field On Fire)’, ‘Less Than’, and ‘The Lovers’.

While David Bowie’s estate this week announced the release of ‘A New Career In A New Town‘, Nine Inch Nails release their new EP ‘ADD VIOLENCE’ on July 21 – the second in a trilogy of new material.
