KORN TAKE GUESTS TO ‘SEE THE OTHER SIDE’ AT THE HOLLYWOOD FOREVER CEMETERY WITH OVER-THE-TOP “HALLOWEEN IN WINTER COSTUME BALL”
The ordinarily reclusive Axl Rose, Jessica Alba, Michelle Branch, Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody—along with members of Linkin Park, The Black Eyed Peas, Good Charlotte, The Used, Puddle of Mudd, Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach and 10 Years—all joined KORN this past Friday the 13th. That’s when JONATHAN, MUNKY, FIELDY and DAVID marked the announcement of their "See You On The Other Side" world tour with an-over-the-top "Halloween in Winter Costume Ball" at the Hollywood Forever cemetery that was co-hosted by Criss Angel.
Over 700 guests parked their cars in the landmark hundred-year-old cemetery on a cloudy, chilly Los Angeles night, walking past the graves of folks like Rudolph Valentino, Cecil B. DeMille, Jayne Mansfield and Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone, before heading to the site’s huge Cathedral Mausoleum and adjacent outdoor area that impressively resembled the set of a horror film with mock gravesites. Against the constantly unnerving roar of chainsaws operated by themed characters dressed as ghouls, guests munched on In-N-Out Burgers and danced to a funky set DJ’d by Samantha Ronson until 2:00 AM.
Earlier that afternoon, KORN arrived in a vintage hearse and met the press graveside at the cemetery to announce a major arena tour for their SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE album. With their special guests Mudvayne and 10 Years, KORN will kick things off February 24 in Bakersfield, CA—the city where they formed—and conclude in Toronto on April 4. At the press conference, KORN were honored with platinum plaques for the album, which features “Twisted Transistor,” the #1 Active Rock hit in the country and also a Top Ten fixture on the Alternative Rock chart.
