Under the Covers: Slipknot + Korn / Beastie Boys

Your weekly dose of genre-bending with your favorite WBRU artists/songs! From the genuinely good to the what-the-hell weird, we got you covered.

Last week at Wembley Arena, Korn and Slipknot joined forces to put their own metal twist on the classic Beastie Boys track “Sabotage.” The unusual, albeit awesome, song choice was a success at their show, with fans responding wildly to the collaborative cover. In an interview with Blabbermouth.net, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor explained, “Well, me and [Korn frontman] Jonathan did not come up with that idea, actually. That was [Korn bassist] Fieldy’s idea. We had been kinda joking about doing something together at one of the shows, and Fieldy was, like, ‘Why don’t we just do ‘Sabotage’?’ We all kinda dug it, we got together, we jammed it out, and the rest is history. So, good on you, Field.”
