KORN: 'MTV Unplugged' Air Dates Announced

December 14, 2006

"MTV Unplugged: Korn" — which was taped this past Saturday (Dec. 9) at MTV's Times Square studios — will air online February 10 and on TV February 17, according to MTV.com. The "MTV Unplugged: Korn" CD will be released on February 20.

For this particular performance, KORN called upon musical director Richard Gibbs to guide them through their 15-song set. The dreadlocked former OINGO BOINGO keyboardist had collaborated previously with KORN frontman Jonathan Davis on the songs and score for the 2002 film "Queen of the Damned".

Like most "Unplugged" performances, KORN's featured a diverse array of instrumentalists and instrumentation. A dozen classically trained musicians — all dressed in black and wearing black masks — shared the stage with these hard rockers, playing instruments common (cellos, trombones),uncommon (saws, cimbassos) and rare (the Benjamin Franklin-invented glass harmonica). Toward the end of the taping, six Japanese taiko drummers were summoned to strengthen the band's rendition of "Throw Me Away".
