MTV Unplugged: Korn is an acoustic live album by the band Korn released worldwide on March 5, 2007 and on the following day in the United States.

Album information

The performance, part of the MTV Unplugged series, took place in MTV studios in Times Square, New York City on December 9, 2006 in front of a crowd of approximately fifty people.

It marks Korn's second ever televised acoustic performance, with the first being on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! on July 18, 2006.

The show was broadcast online on MTV.com on February 23, 2007 and was broadcast on television in America, Europe and Asia from March 2, 2007.

The exclusive acoustic set had the participation of other big-name artists including Robert Smith and Simon Gallup of The Cure and Amy Lee, the lead singer of Evanescence.

The album debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at #9, with about 51,000 copies sold in its first week,[7] and experienced 55% decline in sales in the following week.[8]

Richard Gibbs comments on the album

On December 24, 2006 Richard Gibbs has made following statement on his message board:

About a month or so ago my pal Jonathan (Davis) asked me to music direct/arrange Korn's appearance on MTV Unplugged. We videotaped at MTV's studios in Times Square two weeks ago and we are currently mixing that CD as well here at the Woodshed, yours truly at the producing helm again. For this project I added four celli, two basses, two cimbassos, two bass/contrabass trombonists, a saw player, a glass harmonica player, choir bells, and a six person taiko ensemble to Korn. Plus The Cure sat in for a mashup and Amy Lee (from Evanescence) sang along on Freak on a Leash. Fairly awesome.[9]
