Music (as it were) To My Ears
By Mitch Berg
Steve Gigl on Korn’s “unplugged” appearance:
So let’s get this straight: appearing on South Park like the guest stars in a bad Scooby Doo (but I repeat myself) episode? Good career move. Showing off your lead singer’s inability to actually sing, particularly in contrast with Amy Lee? Maybe not so much.
In my list of “dreams I’d love to some come true”, the one about “Watching Korn being chased from the stage by truncheon-wielding former fans” is right behind “be the human cheese in a Rachel Weisz/Marisa Tomei sandwich”.
Just saying.
Where were we?
Oh, yeah. I hate Korn.

Did you catch Son Volt on Conan?
Horns, when did Son Volt get horns?

Was he playing them or wearing them?

I haven’t watched Conan in forever – which is a shame, because I actually like the show, unlike Leno or (for the past few years) Letterman.
As to the horns – it’s a phase every “roots”-oriented band goes through. It’ll pass.

The horns, and the lousy sound set up really washed out Jay Farrar’s vocals. And Jay’s voice is what makes the band.
