Musical Interlude
Just lazing around, flicking through the TV channels when I happened upon MTV Icons - Metallica on MTV2. It seems to be a big gig / event where loads of musicians / celebrities come to pay their respects to one of the greatest metal bands ever. Some of the musicians / bands get up on stage and do covers of Metallica songs as well. Snoop did a pretty good version of a tune which I can't remember the name of, but then Korn were introduced to do a tune.
They did "One," which is one of my favourite Metallica tracks, and they were so good. Jon Davis sounded just like James Hetfield in the chorus parts, but did his own thing during the verses. The band did the instrumental parts justice too, but giving it a Korn flavour whilst retaining the hardness of the original. The end part was the best, with the Korn guitarists (Head, Munky and Fieldy, fucking stupid names the lot of them) showing that they can do speed-metal as well as they can do nu-metal.
Right, I'm off to go hunt on Kazaa for that song, just thought I'd share that little thing with you.
Oh, and kiwi, what I meant about VIP is that it's so over-acted and crap that it's good. You know, like The Avengers film and other random stuff. I'm sure the rumours will still spread.
