As might be expected, Reznor took it all in stride. In a series of tweets on Wednesday, he wrote, "Many years ago, a young and naive Nine Inch Nails were asked what TV shows they'd be interested in appearing on. As a joke (and likely drunk), they thought of the most absurd choice they could come up with at the time. They were then informed their bluff had been called and were actually booked on said show.

"They hopped in their Honda Civic touring vehicle (hatchback) and traveled many miles to (I think) NJ for the big show. They had a laugh making fun of the people, their fashion choices and hairstyles. Life was good. Years later, the internet is discovered . . . there's a moral in there somewhere. Come to think of it, Skrillex may indeed owe me some publishing on that hairdo."

Kudos to Reznor for having a laugh. And really, compared to other celebrity video that’s surfaced over the years (David Hasselhoff’s drunken cheeseburger rant, Ashlee Simpson’s SNL jig, Madonna loathing hydrangeas, anything Paula Abdul) this is positively quaint, though Skrillex does have some 'splaining to do.
