A good thing about it is that it still features the complete line-up on all tracks. The live tracks consist of seven track recorded in New York in 2003, two covers from Pink Floyd and Metallica, two songs from Woodstock 1999 and two rare tracks of which one is the hidden track on Follow The Leader and the other appeared on the soundtrack for I Know What You Did Last Summer. I actually saw that movie in a theatre. Pffff.

 

Well the live tracks all sound very well mixed, although the bass has a bit too much treble with the quieter parts, but that’s what happens when you use that setting live. It features tracks from all albums, except for of course the last one; See You On The Other Side. It gives a good impression on how they sound live and that’s what it’s meant for. But there is a but. And that but is the fact that some songs are censored. Not by bleeps, but by altered lyrics. Like the end of ‘Right Now’ used to be ‘shut up I’ll fuck you up’, it has now become ‘shut up I’ll bust you up’. And that is very lame if you ask me.

Another thing I really want to criticise is the fact that they covered a Pink Floyd track. How good they may be, you do not desecrate a track like ‘Another Brick In The Wall’. I don’t even like Korn’s version anyway, Jonathan’s voice isn’t suitable for it in my opinion. I do like the cover of Metallica’s ‘One’, although it was already a hidden track on the digipack release of Take A Look In The Mirror. And the thing I like the most is the fact that they stop when the solo is supposed to come. They have never played a metal solo, and I don’t think they ever will. But if you listen closely, you will find that they cover something else. Something that will piss the fans of that band off like hell. Yes, they’ve touched the works of Slayer, although very minimal. The intro for the track ‘My Gift To You’ (what a great track to put on their live album by the way, who would’ve expected that!?!) is alternated into the intro for Slayer’s ‘Seasons In The Abyss’ (the track that is). I like it, Slayer fans will hate it. Ain’t that funny?

 

That’s about it. A lot of tracks were already available, so it ain’t all that rare. And I did expect more studio tracks, like for instance ‘Jingle Balls’ is one I really want to have. But it is this that they present us, and to be honest I don’t think I would have bought it, I neither bought their greatest hits. But the hardcore fans will be pleased again I suspect.
