Pinkpop organizers recently published a previous performance by the multi-platinum nu metal pioneers at the festival. This pro-shot of the June 12th, 2000 Korn show was provided by the aforementioned event late last month. They have now released the official video of Korn‘s May 28, 2007 “Pinkpop” performance below, ahead of the band’s comeback. Before Ray Luzier finally got the job, the Bakersfield, California natives had an enhanced lineup at the time, with late Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison filling in on drums. During that time, the band’s touring lineup also included the late guitarist Shane Gibson, drummer Michael Jochum, keyboardist/vocalist Zac Baird, and percussionist/vocalist Kalen Chase.
Setlist:
Korn is going back to basics for their next album, currently in the works. During Download Festival in the UK, guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer revealed that the band is recording the entire album on tape — live in the studio, all together in one room. The goal is to capture the raw energy and chemistry that defined their early records, embracing a more hands-on, analog process.
