The other side of korn? Not really!, 4 May 2009
8/10
Author: Aaron Muntean from United States

Despite losing founding member "Head" in 2005 and David Silveria in 2007 korn have prevailed and once again have re-invented themselves, and this 2006 show at the hammerstein Ballroom clearly is evidence of that, playing a lot of the classic korn tunes along with some of there most recent, there's many great moments during this concert,although they should have left out twisted transistor cause its probably there worst song...ever. James Munky Schaffer Steps up on the guitar duties and backup vocals a lot more since Brians departure. Jonathan is sounding better than ever (Not a big surprise) as he is a great singer with an awesome sense of melody, and its interesting cause it also shows fieldys growth into more of a straight ahead rocker with even more passion for his bass playing than before, David silveria also makes one of his last performances on this DVD and he truly seems to still have the hunger for being a drummer, wonder what happened to him? Rob patterson (Ex-Otep) also makes an appearance as a backing touring guitarist, so all in all this was a great show, and proves that this band will just never go away.

A solid set....., 24 January 2007
Author: heddsick305 from United States

This DVD was given to me as a gift, and I received it with mixed feelings. Having been a Korn fan for the better part of 13 years, part of me was excited to see one of my oldest favs in action again. But then there's the part of me that remembers how many times I've written them off (re: Issues, Untouchables) and so I was somewhat reluctant. Plus, this is the first DVD performance I've seen from Korn without founding guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, who parted ways with the band recently due to his "finding Jesus". I must say that such news crushed me as a fan, Head was one of my inspirations to start playing guitar, and at one point I swore off Korn altogether. But this set won me back, mostly. The setlist is equally balanced between all their releases, for the most part. They rip through the standards, and sprinkle a few new songs throughout. They've always been a crowd oriented live act, and even after all these years they still dig in like they always have. The extras are worth checking out, especially the mid flight concert the band does on a private jet. All in all, I'd say it's worth viewing, for Korn fans old and new alike.

Cutting Edge Music, 28 December 2006
Author: jkwatinetz from United States

Musically, I've finally seen other cutting edge varieties to unfold recently. I met with Mark Yaskoweak, of MAG-10 Guitars to learn more about this new combo bass/guitar in one. There's a vast future for this concept, and this man is blazing along the cutting edge with his styles and sound. This would be perfect for a player like Fieldy, or others within the rock/metal genre. This feature should be seen as it's a great capturing of this sound. The music of today has evolved itself into a recyclable pool of style, that is unfortunate. The projects that have ever really been a true innovation, have always pushed the envelope and have a tendency to face rejection more than acceptance within the immediate displays publicly. It would be great to see a trend of trend setting, though that remains an ideal thought, bands like KORN have done a great job of keeping that hope alive.
