For the people that nag about 'the keyboardplayer', you have no idea what you're talking about. This man is responsible for just about every form of electronic music you hear nowadays, and apparently still relevant as he's still able to shock the billboard-following sheep.

The "piano player" is Martin Rev from the band Suicide. He was one of the innovators of the drum machine and what we now call programming. The music is actually a version of a song they wrote called "Ghost Rider" which was probably made most famous by Henry Rollins on the soundtrack for "The Crow".

This performance was and is still the most ballsy and craziest performance I’ve seen on this show in this whole decade. The whole album is amazing but the American public wearnt ready for a Tamil refugee to speak real shit but now it’s trendy for America’s politicians to talk about information politics and Facebook and stuff when she was touching on these exact subjects on the album this song is from YEARS ago and she was called unrealistic and crazy. She’s paved the way and I love her!
