Just as the Edge told Rolling Stone a few weeks back, the song starts out with some fuzzy guitar and drums, but Edge’s trademark clean sea of delayed layering is missing. Instead the pair kicks off the single with some industrial sine wave riffing that would fit perfectly on Trent Reznor’s Year Zero concept album.

Bono’s vocals are also reminiscent of Reznor’s clean, too-close-for-comfort vocals of late.

Nine Inch Nails is mentioned in the "From Stage to Screen" featurette on the Repo! The Genetic Opera dvd, when the producers were talking about combining musical influences.

Take some Sweeney Todd in the form of a lead character whose work is slashing people to death. Throw in rocking, camp visuals ala Rocky Horror. Add a set that’s part-Moulin Rouge, part-Rent.

Notice there are nothing but musicals? Put together a killer backing band that includes members of Bauhaus/Love & Rockets, Joan Jett, Nine Inch Nails/Skinny Puppy and some Jane’s Addiction. Season said cinematic epic with frames from a comic book.

Call this unholy train wreck Repo: The Genetic Opera. Yet once it starts playing, go ahead and try to take your eyes off of it. You won’t.

Really no idea is too stupid, unless somehow you manage to lose the camera in the process like Nine Inch Nails did in an early video shoot where someone had the idea to tie the camera to a balloon and let it film the activity- only to have the inflatable tripod escape from the band to eventually be found by the public and grilled for its questionable content.
