KORN To Perform Acoustically For 'AOL Sessions'

April 17, 2006

KORN frontman Jonathan Davis has told MTV.com that his band are about to perform acoustically for the first time in their 14-year career.

"We're doing 'AOL Acoustic Sessions', " Davis said. "When that was first brought up to us, I was like, 'Hell no,' but then I got more into it. I thought it would be cool because what we did with the new album, we didn't want to set any kind of boundaries of what KORN should be. KORN doesn't have to be straight heavy metal."

For the acoustic set, KORN will play "Alone I Break", "Thoughtless", "Coming Undone" and "Falling Away From Me".

"It should be interesting," Davis told MTV.com. "I can't wait to hear these songs acoustic, but a couple of them I wrote on acoustic guitar, so I know it'll translate. ... Hopefully fans will appreciate it. Some will hate it, but whatever. Who cares? We're gonna go for it. We haven't practiced, we're just showing up a couple of hours early and going for it."

Davis took part in a studio collaboration last week with Atlanta hip-hop provocateurs DEM FRANCHIZE BOYZ on a mash-up of their "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" and KORN's "Coming Undone". Rather than just have a remix producer combine the two singles, the acts enlisted Scott Spock of the Matrix, who produced "Coming Undone", to mix elements from both tracks with new parts recorded specifically for the mash-up.
