Korn unplugs for Kimmel
Korn will play two songs acoustically tonight (Tuesday, July 18th) on ABC-TV's Jimmy Kimmel Live. The performance will mark only the second national television appearance ever by Korn, following last year's spot as the musical guests on Saturday Night Live. It's also just the second unplugged performance of the band's career after a four-song stint on AOL's Acoustic Sessions this past April. The group will perform singles "Twisted Transistor" and "Coming Undone," both from its latest studio album, See You On The Other Side.
As for whether Korn plans to incorporate acoustic sets into its headlining run on the upcoming Family Values tour, singer Jonathan Davis recently told us he hasn't ruled it out: "Everyone's asking that and I don't know. We'll see once we get into rehearsals. It would be cool 'cause we've been doing it a lot lately and everybody's really been responding to it and liking it a lot, so we'll see. I don't know. It's just, it's weird -- I think it would have to be acoustic, all acoustic, or all heavy. I don't know. We'll have to see."
Davis has been home in Los Angeles recovering from a rare and potentially fatal blood disorder that forced Korn to cancel most of a European tour last month.
The band will begin its headlining stint on the Family Values tour on July 27th in Virginia Beach, Virginia, with Deftones, Stone Sour, 10 Years, Flyleaf and others.
Korn has added a handful of solo headlining dates around Family Values stops, including August 1st in Orlando, Florida, August 8th in Corpus Christi, Texas, and August 9th in Oklahoma City.
