Live Review: Korn — The Joint, Las Vegas - ARTISTdirect News: Korn kill like no other.
This past Saturday night during a sold out show at The Joint at The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas sponsored by Rogue, the band invaded psyches with a primal urgency a la Nine Inch Nails and an otherworldly elegance reminiscent of Pink Floyd. Korn's performance effectively became a heavy metal rapture of infectiously invasive vocals from Jonathan Davis, Reggie "Fieldy" Arvizu's rumbling, raucous bass, pummeling percussion courtesy of Ray Luzier, and symphonic surreal six-string mastery by James "Munky" Shaffer. Korn are the ultimate orchestra for the damned, and their live show is more akin to a timeless film than another concert.
After a spacey intro of flashing lights and a calculated drum bounce, the band tore right through "Blind". Cacophonous neck-snapping riffs cracked into Davis's dark, classic verses. Instantly, the audience bounced violently in unison as the music itself stirred a tornado of bodies on the packed floor. Fieldy's bass thump could've heralded the apocalypse it was so loud and pronounced as Luzier anchored an airtight rhythmic foundation bordering funk, jazz, metal, and hip hop all at once. Those rhythms could get asses shaking and mosh pits raging, and that's exactly why Korn stand as one of the most incredible live acts in any genre.
