Dopo il controverso, ma aggressivo e innovativo al punto giusto, "See You On The Other Side" la band nu-metal per eccellenza, i Korn, ci danno in pasto una raccolta di live e rarità che si pone come un seguito al "Greatest Hits" del 2003, infatti l'artwork è molto simile.

Il disco è stato molto criticato, soprattutto dai metallari più puri, perchè inutile e falso, hanno ragione a metà, infatti se dal punto di vista live, la raccolta non si discute affatto e testimonia la potenza dei Korn dal vivo, dal punto di vista della rarità è molto carente, infatti sono state proposte "Earache My Eye" e "Proud", un pò poco visto che poi queste canzoni sono facilmente rintracciabili (la prima è una ghost-track di "Follow The leader" e la seconda è un b-sides di "Life is Peachy"). Se non fosse per questa pecca "Live & Rare" avrebbe meritato un voto pieno perchè le prime sette tracce registrate nel 2003 presentano un vero e proprio muro sonoro di potenza elevata, dopotutto si parla dei Korn, una delle ultime band metal che spacca davvero dal vivo, e poi i titoli sono ormai storia del metal moderno : "Did My Time", "Blind", "Falling Away From Me", "Right Now", "Got The Life", "Here To Stay", "Freak On A Lesh".

Si prosegue con le due cover preferite dal gruppo ovvero "Another Brick in The Wall", molto più d'impatto dal vivo rispetto alla versione in studio presente sul "Greatest Hits" e "One", il classico dei Metallica eseguito all'Mtv Icon, anche questa una cosa un pò ridicola, la traccia si può benissimo sentire come ghost-track in "Take A Look In The Mirror", ma non lamentiamoci sempre, è un ottima rivisitazione, eseguita perfettamente. Si pesca nel passato con "My Gift You" e "A.D.I.D.A.S." tratte dalla storica esibizione al Woodstock 1999, e si conclude con le "rarità" già citate. Tutto sommato è un buon antipasto per chi attende il seguito di "See You On The Other Side" (che sembra uscirà nel 2007), ma allo stesso tempo sembra assumere la stessa funzione che ebbe "Take A Look in The mirror" dopo l'azzardo di "Untauchables", ovvero quella di recuperare i vecchi fan, infatti non vi è presente neanche un'esibizione dal vivo dei brani del nuovo album e le traccie sono incentrate su quanto fatto fino a "Take A Look In The Mirror", insomma ci ripresenta ancora una volta i Korn classici (con Head).

Per chi non conosce i Korn, "Live & Rare" non solo permette di avere una buona visuale della loro discografia, ma permette all'ascoltatore di capire quanta esperienza e capacità abbia il gruppo di Bakersfield in sede live.

Elenco tracce testi e video

01   Did My Time (04:12)

Realized I can never win
Sometimes feel like I have failed
Inside where do I begin?
My mind is laughing at me

Tell me, why am I to blame?
Aren't we supposed to be the same?
That's why I will never tame
This thing thats burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Sometimes I can never tell
If I got something after me
That's why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me

Tell me, why am I to blame?
Aren't we supposed to be the same?
That's why I will never tame
This thing thats burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Betrayed
I feel so
Enslaved
I really tried
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my time
I did my TIME

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Oh god the anger's changing me
Oh god the anger's changing me

02   Blind (04:12)

Are you ready?!

This place inside my mind, a place I like to hide
You don't know the chances. What if I should die?!
A place inside my brain, another kind of pain
You don't know the chances. I'm so blind!

Another place I find to escape the pain inside
You don't know the chances. What if I should die?!
A place inside my brain, another kind of pain
You don't know the chances. I'm so blind!

Deeper and deeper and deeper as I journey to
live a life that seems to be a lost reality
that I can never find a way to reach.
My inner selfesteem is low.
How deep can I go in the ground that I lay?
If I don't find a way to see through the gray that clouds my mind.
This time I look to see what's between the lines!

I can see, I can see, I'm going blind... [x12]
I'm blind [x4]

03   Falling Away From Me (04:15)

Hey, I'm feeling tired
My time is gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes that's OK
Do what others say
I'm here standing hollow
Falling away from me, falling away from me

Day, is here fading
That's when I'm insane
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain
I can't always say
'It's gonna be better tomorrow'
Falling away from me, falling away from me

Beating me down, beating me, beating me down
Down, into the ground, screaming so sound
Beating me, beating me, down, down
Into the ground

(Falling away from me)
It's spinning round and round
(Falling away from me)
It's lost and can't be found
(Falling away from me)
It's spinning round and round
(Falling away from me)
Slow it down

Beating me down, beating me, beating me
Down, down, into the ground, screaming so sound
Beating me, beating me, down, down
Into the ground

Twisting me, they won't go away
So I pray, go away

Life's falling away from me
It's falling away from me
Life's falling away from me, FUCK!

Beating me down, beating me, beating me
Down, down, into the ground, screaming so sound
Beating me, beating me, down, down
Into the ground

(Falling away from me)
Beating me down
(Falling away from me)
Beating me, beating me
(Falling away from me)
Down, down
(Falling away from me)
Into the ground
Screaming so sound
(Falling away from me)
Beating me, beating me
Down, down
(Falling away from me)
Into the ground

04   Right Now (03:05)

I'm feeling mean today
Not lost, not blown away
Just irritated and quite hated
Self control breaks down
Why's everything so tame
I like my life insane
I'm fabricating and debating
Who I'm gonna kick around

Right now
Can't find a way
To get across the hate
When I see you

Right Now
I feel it scratch inside
I want to slash and beat you

Right Now
I rip apart the things inside
That excite you

Right Now
I can't control myself
I fucking hate you!

I'm feeling cold today
Not hurt just fucked away
I'm devastated and frustrated
God I feel so bound
So when I feel the need
I think it's time to bleed
I'm gonna cut myself and
Watch the blood hit the ground

Right now
Can't find a way
To get across the hate
When I see you

Right Now
I feel it scratch inside
I want to slash and beat you

Right Now
I rip apart the things inside
That excite you

Right Now
I can't control myself
I fucking hate you!

You open your mouth again
I swear I'm gonna break it
You open your mouth again
My God I cannot take it

Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up
Shut up, shut up, shut up, I'll fuck you up

Right now
Can't find a way
To get across the hate
When I see you

Right Now
I feel it scratch inside
I want to slash and beat you

Right Now
I rip apart the things inside
That excite you

Right Now
I can't control myself
I fucking hate you!

I fuckin' hate you
I fuckin' hate you
I fuckin' hate you
I fuckin' hate you (shut up)
I fuckin' hate you (shut up)
I fuckin' hate you (shut up)
I fuckin' hate you (shut up)

05   Got the Life (04:06)

Hate, something, sometime, someway
Something kick off the floor for mine
Something, inside
I'll never ever follow
So give me something that is for real
I'll never ever follow

Get your boogie on
Get your boogie on

Hate, something, someway, each day
Dealing with no forgiveness
Why?
This shit inside
Now everyone will follow
So give me nothing just feel
And now this shit will follow

God paged me
You'll never see the lie, who wants to see?
God told me, I've already got the life, oh I say
God paged me
You'll never see the lie, who wants to see?
God told me, I've already got the life, oh I say

Each day I can feel it swallow
Inside something they took from me
I don't feel your deathly ways
Each day I feel so hollow, inside I was beating me
You will never see, so come dance with me

Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Dance with me
Rumbiddieboo
(Dance with me)
Rum bum dee dum dee bum diddie doo
(Dance with me, dance with me)
ME!

God paged me
You'll never see the lie, who wants to see?
God told me, I've already got the life, oh I say
God paged me
You'll never see the lie, who wants to see?
God told me, I've already got the life, oh I say

Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life
Got the life

Got the life

06   Here to Stay (04:19)

This time, taking it away
I've got a problem, with me getting in the way,
Not by design (Could be 'My violent side')
So I take my face and bash it into a mirror.
I won't have to see the pain (Bleed, Bleed)
This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating.
Anticipating, all the fucked up feelings again.

The hurt inside is fading
This shit gone way too far.
All this time I've been waiting
No I can not grieve anymore.
For what's inside awaking.
*I'm done*, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything and oh I can not give anymore.

My mind is done with this
Okay, I've got a question.
Can I throw it all away
Take back what's mine
So I take my time, guiding the blade down the line
Each cut closer to the vein (Bleed, Bleed)

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating.
Anticipating, all the fucked up feelings again.

The hurt inside is fading
This shit gone way too far.
All this time I've been waiting
No I can not grieve anymore.
For what's inside awaking.
I'm not, I’m not a whore
You've taken everything and oh I can not give anymore.

I'm here to stay (bring it down) [x4]
Bring it down [x4]
Gonna break it down [x7]
GONNA BREAK IT!

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating.
Anticipating, all the fucked up feelings again.

The hurt inside is fading
This shit gone way too far.
All this time I've been waiting
No I can not grieve anymore.
For what's inside awaking.
I'm not, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything and oh I can not give anymore.

Live anymore
Give anymore
Live anymore
Give anymore.

07   Freak on a Leash (04:25)

Something takes a part of me
Something lost and never seen
Everytime I start to believe
Something's raped and taken from me, from me
Life's gotta always be messing with me
(You wanna see the light?)
Can't they chill and let me be free?
(So do I)
Can't I take away all this pain
(You wanna see the light?)
I try to every night
All in vain, in vain

Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace
Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

Feeling like a freak on a leash
(You wanna see the light?)
Feeling like I have no release
(So do I)
How many times have I felt diseased?
(You wanna see the light?)
Nothing in my life is free, is free

Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace
Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

13   Proud (03:26)

From the I Know What You Did Last Summer soundtrack


Must you keep looking at me
before you looked the other way.
Must you keep glaring at me
I know you look inside, and see what you made.

You took no pride in me
but now I'm your everything
it's finding out ya own(owe?) me
not all of your gloating.

Must you keep looking at me.
Now you see what I am.
Trust, I knew what it was.
I don't forget things, thinking I'm nothing.

You took no pride in me
but now I'm your everything
it's finding out ya own(owe?) me
not all of your gloating.

Pride of me
No Pride
Why (x7)

Must you keep looking at me
Before you looked the other way
Trust, I knew what it was
I don't forget things, look what you've made.

You took no pride in me
but now I'm your everything
it's finding out ya own(owe?) me
not all of your gloating.
