When your favorite band covers your favorite band

[wyattjackson]

I love how Alice doesn’t really have beef with any other bands.. Everybody just seems to love them.

[jipster]

No-one can get close to competing with Layne's vocals, but seriously, this is one of the best Would covers I've ever heard. Fantastic job.

[Seethyr]

I loved how respectful they were to the original for 99% of the song and then give it a little Korn flair for only the last verse.

[TheSentinel]

Wow. Who knew Fieldy could tune his bass that high.

[nightmaredriver]

I think this is probably the best cover I've seen of would cause Jonathan isn't trying to sing like Layne Staley, he's singing like a korn song which is great.

[timeB]

Mike Starr never gets the credit he deserves for making one of the best bass riff ever.

[ProductofNZ]

Nothing can beat the original but this is a wicked tribute.

[statstick]

Can we just appreciate how amazing Ray Luzier is? Incredible drummer.

[WaybackTECH]

Man they brought out the old school Korn sound from the 90's for this too.

[spreaddeezhazelnutz]

If Korn became a band that only did covers, I would not be mad. All of the covers they have made are incredible. Word Up is still my favorite by them.

[SudsRegal]

Not a “die hard” Korn fan but they have well and truly earned their keep... and this is hands down the best cover of ‘Would’ I have ever heard! They truly honor the song and AIC. Massive respect!

[forwardslashbeats]

I'm not much of a Korn fan but they pretty much nailed this perfectly.

[dropkickmolotov]

I appreciate the fact that this was completed in one room

[christbane]

this cover is so good! they way they gave it that signature Korn sound but still stayed true to the song.

[ems]

In all the covers of I’ve heard of would, no one can scream/moan/growl “In to the flood again…” anything like Layne could

[thewedge]

Love the detuned low sound of this with Korn's 7 strings... this sounds exactly as I would imagine it in my head, if Korn covered it.

[jjmadoublen]

It's gross how AIC and Soundgarden don't even have a section honoring them in Museum of Pop. They are the best two bands that ever came out of Seattle.

[tbkiller]

Where is the "Love" button? "Like" isn't enough....

[bryanlawson]

I was 15 when Dirt was released and 17 when Korn’s first album was released. I’m 44 now and I still listen to both. This cover is a brilliantly done tribute.
