covers Floyd
"Another Brick" to appear on greatest hits album
Rap-rock band
Korn
has recorded Pink Floyd's "Another
Brick in the Wall." The song, recorded in May, will appear
on a greatest hits compilation to be released this fall.
Recently,
the band has included the song in its live European shows. "We
tried it in Hannover, Germany," Korn's Jonathan Davis
told MTV News. "Kids were out there throwing their Xs up, from
the movie. It was surprising to see how many young kids know Pink
Floyd and know all the words to that song.
"Pink
Floyd's an amazing band," he adds. "They always set
a mood. The movie 'The Wall'
is amazing. There were three versions of it on the original album,
so we made it into one long song with 'Goodbye Cruel World' at the
end."
The album
will also include a new recording of Public Enemy's "Fight
the Power." The band will make a video for whichever song is
determined to be the album's first single.
New York City-based
Scissor
Sisters recently covered "Comfortably Numb," also
from "The Wall." The dance
track charted in the U.K. this past winter.
Korn was formed
in Bakersfield, Calif., in 1992. The band has released six albums.
