Evanescence covered thir song "Thoughtless". This is what the singer Jonathan Davis said about the cover:
| Yeah, we did a couple of shows with [Evanescence] in Europe and [they] played it," he told The Blitz 99.7 FM. "It's a huge, huge thing when an artist thinks of doing a cover of one of our songs, it just blows us away, and she [Evanescence singer Amy Lee] does it so beautifully. She's told me time and time again that she's a huge KORN fan. What was really cool was that in Europe, they were supposed to headline over us and she refused to do it and made us headline over them. There's a just a lot of respect there. I think she's a great girl and I love that cover — it came out beautifully. The way I hear things in my head sometimes, the more [time I spend] in a heavy band, I'm more about melody and shit like that, so… when I heard [Evanescence's version of 'Thoughtless'], it was really cool. The melodies really pop out. |
