Pictures from the current studio sessions with Bozzio can be found at. He also worked with KORN vocalist Jonathan Davis on music for the soundtrack of the film "Queen of the Damned". Bozzio, long considered one of the greatest drummers in rock, is best known for his work with MISSING PERSONS and FRANK ZAPPA. The 56-year-old Bozzio is sitting in for KORN drummer David Silveria, who announced in December that he was taking a "temporary hiatus" from the group for at least one studio album and tour. KORN is currently working with veteran rock drummer Terry Bozzio on its eighth studio album. KORN's video for the "unplugged" version of "Freak on a Leash", featuring a guest appearance by Amy Lee of EVANESCENCE, has been posted online at. An album version of the performance will be available March 6.
The online premiere is scheduled for Friday, February 23 at MTV.com while the on-air feature will premiere Friday, March 2. Amy Lee of EVANESCENCE and Robert Smith of THE CURE talk about being fans of KORN themselves and having the opportunity to perform with the band. For MTV Unplugged, we were mourning.A video trailer for KORN's "MTV Unplugged" performance has been posted online at this location. One of just three Unplugged performances in 2015 came from Placebo, who had peaked in 1998 with a song that rhymed “weed” with “need” and “dawning” with “morning”. With Unplugged’s credibility now in tatters, anyone could appear on it. Is he being ironic? Trying to conceal his embarrassment? Why is he involved in this debacle? Has he been taken hostage? In 200 years’ time, when the mystifying Mona Lisa has perished beyond restoration and the public can no longer countenance tediously two-dimensional portraits, La Gioconda’s place in the Louvre will be taken up by a holographic ad infinitum loop of Smith repeating the words “I … I’m actually a big fan of Korn … they’re a phenomenal live band”. More fascinating is the interview snippet where Smith extols Korn’s virtues. At one point, Robert Smith mooches onstage resembling The Last Days of Elizabeth Taylor for a medley in which the Cure’s In Between Days segues into nu-metal turkey Make Me Bad. With Jonathan Davis’s whiny, whispered singing and his band’s lack of refinement starkly exposed, Korn: MTV Unplugged almost transgresses the boundaries of unintentional hilarity to become a masterpiece of a misstep. Instead, they chose Incubus, Staind and, ropiest of all, Korn. Unplugged even neglected to book the superior nu-metal bands such as Deftones and Kittie. Nu-metal was a genre less suited to acoustic reinterpretation than Michael Bay is to direct Phantom Thread II. Taking the riffs and roars of metal, adding the scratches and raps of hip-hop, and upping the misogyny quota of both, a scene was born wherein shorts were acceptable stagewear. Poorer still were the next generation of angst-ridden white boys. Then horn-voiced Katy Perry arrived after one album to perform lounge-jazz versions of her clumsily problematic songs I Kissed A Girl and Ur So Gay.
Unplugged had once semaphored an act rising to significance. Unfortunately, MTV’s curatorial nous went awry. The show allowed older statesmen such as Neil Young to reach a younger audience, too, but let’s not be rockist because it wasn’t only white guitar dudes who shone: Mariah Carey stormed it thanks to her invincible vocal range Jay-Z’s appearance marked the latest chapter in hip-hop’s infiltration of the mainstream. Alice in Chains had their own Woody Guthrie moment via a bass guitar emblazoned with a slogan denouncing Metallica’s short hair.
Pearl Jam made a feminist statement when their singer scrawled “pro-choice” on his arm in magic marker. It was where Nirvana offered up obscure cover versions and the adorable sight of Dave Grohl trying his damnedest to drum quietly. This includes the acoustic performance show MTV Unplugged, which, for a while, showcased stripped-back and often surprising performances from a range of worthy musicians. From Toys R Us to the state of Gary Lineker’s upper lip and chin, many things fared better in the 90s.
