Covers of songs that are better than the original/best known version...

...Life around the board has not been the same since I unleashed the Pickle Surprise fury... To this day one of the most disturbing and unexplainable pieces of "culture" to hit the board...

Most of the good covers have been well.. covered... Here's a good one though...

"Word Up" by KoRn, original Cameo

Always thought this one was good.... "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm, original by One who touches boys...no, not AWK...the other one.

(You'll have to click and go to the YouTube page for this one... douche's disabled the "embed" feature on this one...)

Did you just forget about Z and the Party Factory?

Z and the Party Faktory never covered anyone. I'm pretty sure the beast is well over 1000 years old and wrote every song that you've ever heard.

Quote fail! haha...

KoRn put out an album a few years ago. I think it was called "Twisted Transistor".... I know that's a song on there (which is great by the way)... Other than that, not sure....

Korn hasn't been the same since they lost one of their lead guitarists -Brian "Head" Welch. Then their bad ass drummer David Silveria left. Now it's just the three of them (Jonathan, Munky, and Fieldy) and instead of kicking ass like they used to, they rely on computerized bullshit beats and sounds to accompany a lot of their music.

I was a huge fan and always loved how their guitars sounded (a couple of octaves lower than any other band could produce) but they lost me after 1999's Issues. I still have bought every album up through See you on the other side hoping they would kick ass again, but they haven't. I haven't heard anything off of their newer "Untitled" album. I will say that I saw them in concert in 1998 and they absolutely brought the house down. Jonathan Davis even brought out the bagpipes and kilt and fucking got crazy on it (you could only know how it goes down if you heard it before) and to this day it's the best metal concert I've attended.

Studio Albums

Year Album
1994 Korn
1996 Life Is Peachy
1998 Follow the Leader
1999 Issues
2002 Untouchables
2003 Take a Look in the Mirror
2005 See You on the Other Side (Chop-this one has Twisted Transistor)
2007 Untitled
TBA 9th Studio Album

I'm thinking (now that I've researched this) of buying their last live DVD with the entire band together:

It should kick ass since all the original band members are still playing and there's lots of good old school songs they played.

While we're on the topic of metal, I thought of this cover that I've enjoyed-

"Land of Confusion" by Disturbed

Originally by Genesis...and the original is still my favorite MTV video of all time, with the puppets and all.

Issues was the last KoRn album I bought. I lost it. Didn't care.

I have a couple Mp3's from all their albums since that release, but they're not great.

Although, if you've never heard the studio-recorded mash up of Coming Undone with Lean Wit It Rock Wit It by Dem Franchise Boys, it's pretty kickass.

Have ~~stolen~~ purchased it yet. I've heard it on Project 9-6-1 quite a few times, however. It kicks some ass.
