KORN
- See You On The Other Side
When a band brings out a Best Of
or Greatest Hits collection, you wonder if that's it, or think it may be
a while before they come up with something new. Often it is a matter of contractual
obligation when an artist moves on to another label. In this case Korn's
relationship with their previous label was signed off with their Greatest Hits
Vol. 1, as they slipped over to EMI. They didn't waste much time to give their
fans the latest taste, and it's nothing less than what their supporters would
expect. It's Korn from start to finish, guitars tuned so low you hear the strings
dangling and vocalist Jonathan Davis working his trademark bagpipes into the thumping
mix. These days a music video can easily make or break a song, whether it's a
good tune or not. But here the video to the first plug-track, Twisted Transistor
is a minor stroke of genius with the entire band substituted by rap big hitters
like Snoop Dogg and Xibit, the actual band members playing asshole
record execs, taking a punch at their old label.
