Nu metal legends Korn and alt rock icons Evanescence kicked off the first date of their huge co-headline US tour at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado last night. Both bands packed a career-spanning setlist that included all-time classics (Blind! Bring Me To Life! Here To Stay! Going Under! Got The Life! Lithium!) and cuts from the two rock heavyweights' most recent material (this year's Requiem in the case of Korn, and 2021's The Bitter Truth for Evanescence).

By far the highlight of the show, though, was when Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee recreated a classic moment in nu metal history when she join Korn on stage for a rambunctious collab version of Freak On A Leash.

Amy famously joined Korn for a dialled-back version of the hallmark Korn anthem back in 2006 when she joined the boys from Bakersfield for their classic MTV Unplugged session. Seeing the moment recreated for a proper, all-guns-blazing take on the song was a major highlight in an evening packing plenty of them.

Check out video footage of Amy and Korn doing Freak On A Leash together below, and find out what else both bands played on the night just below that. Evanescence team up with another heavyweight band later this year, Dutch symphonic metallers Within Temptation, for a European co-headline tour.
