Worst quote. Everyone who thinks that are mostly the same, haha. I dressed in all black in school (goth if you'd like) and like a third of my friends had a black tshirt saying the same thing. How is that different? Also, I'm sure Jonathan Davis wasn't the first person to think of that.
You would enjoy Twisted Transistor by Korn as well, especially the music video being a hip hop head LOL someone who knows what I'm talking about will get this.
My favorite movie of all time is Queen of the Damned and I love the music, plus I had a huge crush on JD as a teen, God that kilt did so much to my teenage hormones!
Twisted Transistor isnt really rock Korn tho, its like more late evolved, as he says hes a hip hop head, show him the dirty OG band then show the transition to what they evolved too, shame this was listened to before others
Some of the coolest Korn songs you wouldn't ever regret listening and reacting to are' CLOWN, SOMEBODY SOMEONE, THOUGHTLESS, DID MY TIME, INSANE and (my new favorite) BLACK IS THE SOUL. Actually, listen to their whole latest album as son as you got the chance. It'll blow your mind.
@@anomalous9771 Absolutely, I understand some find it ultra disturbing, which is sort of is, especially when you know the context, but honestly I find it therapeutic to listen to. It hits home and strikes me with more power and emotion then any song ever has, and ever will. I will never forget the first time I listened to that🤘
This was probably one of their "poppiest" releases late into their discography. Try listening to where they started and check out their first big "hit" Shoots and Ladders . You can definitely see how they progressed towards this sound today.
Love how your not afraid to talk about mental health Alex, I've gone/going thru my shit like everyone does and to hear people talking about it is awesome
This was one of the main songs that got me into metal. I feel like it is the perfect song to get people into the genre as it still gives you that feeling of the heavy riffs but without the screams that non metal heads hate
Bad Santa's a good movie. Korn was good; idk if they still are, but they were back in the early 2000s. Pretty nostalgic band for me~ Some songs from them that I like are Falling Away From Me, Make Me Bad, Freak On A Leash, Y'all Want A Single, and I can't think of any others off the top of my head. I liked them, but not as much as I liked Slipknot back in the day; Slipknot from like 12-17 was my favorite, hands down. XD Kittie also had some good shit sometimes.
Holy fuck the intro to this music video just gave me some mad nostalgia. I remember getting ready for middle school in the morning and this song being on MTVs wake up call.
As for Korn, Tool, and Slipknot, which one is better. Don't even try. I love all 3, but they're such different styles. Slipknot is probably the one I would listen to the most at the drop of a hat because of Corey's vocals and the aggressive music. Maynard is so different too, but overall, I'll go through a phase where I just have to listen to Tool, non-stop, and then I'll go one second too much, and can't listen to them for months. Tool is a very different style of band, very trippy, where Slipknot is more organized chaos. Korn is bass and drums driven, at least, a lot of what they did initially was. They embrace experimenting, and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. White Zombie (not Rob solo) would be another good one for you to check out. Their first album was an awesome groove metal, and their second album was an awesome industrial metal. Pantera would be good to get into awesome shredding with Dimebag. I'm partial to Anthrax out of the Big 4 in thrash. They were the more fun group out of the big 4 and an option from the obvious other 3 that you've heard of. Mushroomhead on the surface would be a close group to Slipknot, having a dj and extra drummers, but they have more of an piano driven sound from Schmotz. Rammstein and Fear Factory would be good if want to hear some industrial metal. Some suggestions for ya there for different styles.
This looks like a great crash course for metal in the mainstream consciousness. I approve. I would probably sprinkle in some stuff that doesn’t get as much notice in America, like Blind Guardian (to represent power metal) and King Diamond (for more of the storytelling operatic metal), just to further round things out.
Alex, John Davis, the lead singer for Korn, always felt that he was writing Hip Hop songs but when you add the gritty and grungy guitar it comes out as hard rock/metal. I actually thought when you first started this series that you would like Korn.
I am an amateur singer. 5 minutes ago while watching this was the first time I was able to sing-along with full vocal-fry through any metal song without a need to cough.
Thank you for posting this video Alex... Forsaken it is on the sound track for Queen of the Dambed... But on the sound track it was preformed by Disturbed. .. Take care and have a great day everyone...
Most of my childhood involved all of these songs youre just now finding...its sad so many people missed this beautiful music lol. I dont care for their newer stuff but the first like 4 albums, i can probably sing along to every song to this day...i also listened to Limp bizkit. Three days grace. Arch enemy (older stuff with angela as their singer). Breaking Benjamin. Seether. Metallica of course. Zz top. Kid rock. Queen...one that doesnt fit this kind of music but was something i loved because of the talent, hootie and the blowfish.. five finger death punch. Staind. P.O.D. acdc. Mushroomhead. Rob zombie. Alice in chains. Pink floyd. Motorhead. Nine inch nails(NIN). Kitty(i bought their first album in 4th grade 🤣)... there was sooo many, most came from my dad. But back then mtv actually played whole music videos, so some came from watching too much tv lol.. im thankful though because "music" today isnt anything like it used to be. I refuse to listen to most new music thats not rock or metal because i know 90% of pop singers dont write their own stuff(that to me isnt super important), the problem is that they cant sing live and sound the same most of the time. I dont call that being musically gifted..i call thay cheating with autotune. I appreciate talent when its there. I find it offensive how people attempt making music these days.. if ur always having to use autotune and cant sing it the same live, i want nothing to do with that persons "music"..
I really want him to react to Alice in Chains! My all time favorite band ever! Getting Layne tattooed on my arm one of these days and Love Hate Love tattooed on my inner arm. I know he would really like this band! Alex, react to Alice in Chains!
Im sorry bro... Im sorry that THIS SONG had to be your FIRST Korn song... It is one of their weakest songs in their catalog. If you really want to experience the core foundations of Korn, you should really check out some of their earlier stuff. These songs are also good to check out by them: Blind Children of the Korn (Feat. Ice Cube) Freak on a Leash Got the Life BBK Falling Away From Me Somebody Someone Here to Stay Thoughtless
So I'm on a massive binge cos i only found you like a week ago, and I love the fact you're saying 'it will be cool to have like a third option' Bless you. Full metal head now. Welcome to the dark side, past Alex. It's fun down here.
Hater, Freak On A Leash, Somebody Someone, Lullaby For A Sadist, great songs for next videos!! And there is one but is really disturbing (the singee composed it due to his sexual abuse when he was young) the song is called daddy, Btw great content! New subscriber here!
I love Korn. I grew up around people listening to hip-hop so naturally that was what I listened to and then one day I saw the Freak On A Leash video and my whole world changed. I don't know if I could have made it through my teens and early twenties without their music.
I don't think that is a good Primus song to start on with, when listening to Primus for the first time you need to start in the shallow-end of their weirdness rather than diving into the deep-end. I would personally recommend Jerry was a Racecar Driver as a good first Primus song.
I think he should continue working up to that, not that he'll ever be ready for it. There's nothing you can do to prepare yourself for what that song is going to make you feel. Literally nothing.
The drummer from Korn plays in another band called KXM. They're a 3-man "supergroup" with Doug Pinnick (King's X) on vocals and bass and George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob) on guitars. Good songs are Breakout and Scatterbrain. Totally different style of music than Korn, but quite groovy. I think you will like it.
Always love Korn and especially this song!! I just started watching the last two days and have had so much fun watching someone love songs I have listened to for years!! Have many more to go and many to suggest. I call me Melody Metal, the queen of metal!!! One of my first suggestions is Holy Wars by Megadeth. Mega kick ass and talent. Never get tired of this song. Mustaine rules!!
awesome man i have been into metal / rock since i was a kid glad to see u are checking this music out watch korn shoots and ladders and lets get this party started think you will like them
Lori Parker Wade Wow kick-ass concert that must have been!!! Your right AF tho, they are epic AF to watch live, saw them at Ozzfest 03, Disturbed, MM, Chevelle and of course OZZY who played for over 2 and a half hours dude!!! They started the set off paying the bagpipes!!! \m/\m/
Korn teamed up with Dem Franchise Boys and did a remix of this song. It became a big single and used to be played all over the place. As a rap fan you should check that out
i know this is an old video, but I'm seeing it for the first time, hip hop head listens to "Coming undone" i love this song, but i also love the "Coming undone" and Lean wit it, rock wit it" mash up with dem franchise boyz. and i think you will appreciate it liking hip hop and also liking this song. you should totally check it out.
I feel tremendous sadness for the youth of today, they never heard korn , tool, Metallica , Soad , disturbed or slipknot. When I was 14 I took music appreciation in highschool it covered Bach , Wanger , Mozart , Jimi Hendrix , Led Zeppelin ,Rolling Stones , Patsy Klein to name a few, now kids listen sugar pop and mumble rap , my guitar gently weeps.
You should really see Jonathon Davis by himself. He is totally different with his Orchestra concert. I love how artists play different types of music and instruments.
Lacuna Coil-Swamped, Lacuna Coil-Our Truth, Lacuna Coil-Heaven's a lie, Lacuna Coil-Delirium, Lacuna Coil-Last Goodbye. Also Trip the Darkness from same band!!!
