thefly Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Don't know if any of you remember this, but in the past it was announced numerous times that Korn plans to release a cover album, and among the songs they intended to cover was "Head Like A Hole" by NIN. It was rumoured/reported (can't remember) that Chester was supposed to be featured on that song. Now, has there been any news regarding this project and Chester's involvement in the recent past? Wasn't Chester also set to appear at Korn's Unplugged show? Any idea what happened with that? Quote
Astat Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Chester appearing at Unplugged was nothing more than a rumor. I believe he was in the audience though. Korn's "Korn Kovers" compilation has been delayed indefinitely and will probably never come out, due to them recording it prior to their split from Sony. Sony probably owns the rights to it. Chester's vocals have also been long-rumored to have been removed from the final mix anyway. Quote
leftshoe18 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 jonathan said that they still intended to finish it in an interview about a week before untitled came out and that was after the sony split. i don't think sony would've had the rights unless it was released, right? i still have hope that it'll be released someday.

hahninator Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I'm not sure really because I know the situation Holly Brook is in now - she can't RECORD anything new or else it's Machine Shop/Warner's material. Maybe Sony does own the Korn stuff.... Quote
Astat Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Record labels typically automatically own ANYTHING that was recorded by an artist while under contract with them. i.e. Warner owns all of LP's demos from all 3 albums, any unreleased Reanimation remixes, etc. Quote
thefly Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 Sure, everything recorded belongs to the studio, at least if its part of the contract. I mean, the label doesn't really "own" you, does it? If you go to a studio by yourself, pay for the sessions and stuff by yourself ... it's all yours, isn't it? As long as you don't release it under the band name ...? But has this cover album indeed already been recorded? Quote
leftshoe18 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 i heard that parts of it have been recorded, but jonathan (the only one who ever seemed to talk about it) has said anything about it since a july 2007 interview Quote
