p2pnet.net News:- Y’All Want a Single has Sony rap-metal quintet Korn tearing (and we do mean tearing) through an LA record store hurling racks of CDs to the floor, wrecking display cases, smashing shelves, destroying everything in its path, with a whole crew of eager fans helping them do the trashing.

But it’s not a Hendrix style wreck-it-all music video.

While the band wreaks havoc, banners scroll across the screen reading, One corporation owns the 5 major video channels in the US and 98% of the bands signed to a major don’t make a profit and Two radio conglomerates control 42% of listeners. And more.

But back up.

A Sony band?

“The stuff we said in the video (is the stuff) the music industry doesn’t want kids to know about,” a Reuters story here quotes band leader Jonathan Davis as saying, going on:

“Everyone is in bed with everyone in the industry. One corporation owns all the video channels, one corporation owns all the radio stations, and all the venues we play at are also the promoters. It’s a whole monopoly. They basically deem what kids are going to hear.”

Yeh. OK. But a Sony band?

Davis says getting Sony to approve the video was tough. But it eventually relented and let it go “under artistic freedom,” Reuters has Davis saying.

Smart move, Sony. Very smart.

The Y’All Want a Single video was apparently available on KORN’s site. But not any more.

You won’t have any trouble finding it on one of the networks, though.
