Korn’s new video, Twisted Transistor, attempts to recreate in some way the magic of This is Spinal Tap. Of course, the magic of Spinal Tap is best recreated by doing a spoof. In this case, it’s Spinal Tap itself. Confused?
Korn has invited Snoop Dog and Xzibit to star instead of Korn’s regular line up. The video itself targets several key scenes from This is Spinal Tap: apartment/party, a concert, signing autographs in an empty record store… Maybe I missed a few. There’s also a “documentary” director by the name of Rob Piner and a wierd-looking tour manager.
Although I was a headbanger back in the day, I haven’t seen many Korn’s videos (they’re new metal after all while I’m an old headbanger).
If I like a good laugh however I still play Spinal Tap’s Majesty of Rock. It’s a rare find but worth it. (I got the torrent from an obscure tracker.)
