In one of 2017's weirdest music stories, nü-metal OGs Korn recruited Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo's 12-year-old son Tye to fill in on bass during a run of South American shows. We've already posted video of young Tye in action, and now you can watch a whole 15-minute documentary about it. The elder Trujillo narrates Korn And The Prodigy Son, which he created with Korn's official videographer Sébastien Paquet. The mini-doc is viewable below via Rolling Stone.
