Korn covers Pink Floyd

Written by Matt

Wednesday, 30 June 2004

The rap-rock band Korn have recorded, in May this year, Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall to be part of their greatest hits compilation, to be released this autumn/fall. The band have been playing the song, actually all three parts played together, in their recent European shows - and you can hear the June 23rd performance by downloading this compressed file.

It was surprising to see how many young kids know Pink Floyd and know all the words to that song.
