KORN's upcoming greatest hits collection will include two new cover tunes, according to Launch Radio Networks. The group's versions of PINK FLOYD's "Another Brick In The Wall" and NINE INCH NAILS' "Head Like A Hole" will be featured on the album, which is due out this fall. By coincidence, California goth-punk act A.F.I. has also recorded a new version of the latter tune, although they landed a guest appearance from NIN frontman Trent Reznor. A.F.I.'s take on the song is slated to appear on a yet-to-be-named video game. KORN's greatest his package may also include the band's recently recorded collaboration with rapper Lil Jon.

Does anyone care about these sad shit heads anymore?

 

[Optimistic]

I hope not. It still dismays me that people cared in the first place.

 

[sc0la]

I am guessing that videogame is 4 foursmen?

MAybe a tonyhawk but I don't know.

LMFAO

Oh, they're going to fuck up Head Like a Hole. And WTF is KoRn doing covering Pink Floyd?

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

I was just thinking the other day that NIN needs a greatest hits. No cigar.

 

[SKluck]

NIN doesn't need a greatest hits. Just get AATCHB.

 

[Alucard]

Korn covering Pink Floyd? Uhh...what? I can already hear that guy's damn shaky/whiny voice singing "we don't need no education" while some porn-like beat goes in the background, or some heavy guitars chime in. NO.

 

[karasu]

big whoop. Everybody plays Pink Floyd at some point.

 

[Guileless]

On korn's cover of Ice Cube's "Wicked," I think they intentionally scream through some of the lyrics that may be inappropriate for a white person to say. Ice Cube's version goes like this:

We'll get Darryl Gates, but is Willie Williams
Down with the pilgrims?
Just a super slave,
We'll have to break his ass up like Super Dave.

Darryl Gates was the white LAPD chief during the King fiasco, and Willie Williams was the black mayor of LA at that time. The whole song is not about killing public officials, but pretty much every cut on that CD--"The Predator"--has some reference to killing the cops that beat King or LA officials.

I posited this question many years ago on the korn usenet group, but I was targeted for insults and nobody addressed the question.

I got it. The limited edition version with the fancy slipcase and bonus disc, no less. Still not quite as good as some of the album versions. The Pretty Hate Machine recordings are classic.

 

[etiolate]

Ummm..uhh... Goth-Punk?

 

[Desperado]

I might actually download their Pink Floyd cover just to see how bad it is...


wait, maybe not. x_x

 

[Eminem]

OH MY FUCKING GOD. THIS IS WORSE THAN THE HOLOCAUST.

Jesus fucking christ. This is the worst thing I've ever heard. When Jon yells it's just...please, someone kill me.

This sounds even worse than Avril's cover of Chop Suey!


anyone else care to hear this desecration?

 

[BuddyC]

Yea, I'll take a hit. Do you have the head like a hole cover too?

 

[Error Macro]

I want to hear it too. I like Korn. Please don't hate me.

 

[fart]

I want to hear it too. I like Korn. Please don't hate me.

YOU ARE DEAD TO ME

 

[Ronabo]

Ugh this is major suckage.

Why? Trent Why?

 

[Eminem]

no, don't have head like a hole...

another brick in the wall: http://full-of-sorrow.neostrada.pl/korn1.zip



this isn't gonna be the one that's on the greatest hits cd i'm sure, but I'm not sure I wanna hear a cleaned up version of that.

 

[Stele]

I got it. The limited edition version with the fancy slipcase and bonus disc, no less. Still not quite as good as some of the album versions. The Pretty Hate Machine recordings are classic.

Most of the songs on there are better live than recorded. You are simply wrong.

 

[BuddyC]

i'm going to kill jonathon davis

right after i get done crying

 

[Litigation Manuel]

I wish Jonathon Davis would go back to singing about how his daddy raped him, instead of doing rape of his own on a timeless classic.

Seriously, that song just ruined the rest of my day.

 

[Boomer]

I don't get the Korn hate. You don't like their music...so they're sad shitheads? And let's all laugh at the guy for getting raped as a child.

 

[BuddyC]

 

[Eminem]

no one else wants to hear this abomination?

 

[mjq jazz bar]

Fantomas opened for the two shows Korn played in Iceland. You know, I know money and publicity are good things, but art and shit don't mix.

 

[Semjaza Azazel]

I can't say this phases me. KoRn stopped being relevent years ago. Think what you will about them now, but they did push a lot of things along years and years back. I still like their first two releases... seemed like it just got whinier after that.

Worse bands have covered NIN and Pink Floyd.

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

i was in the korn listening to the first korn cd the other. damn that cd is still bad ass
