You CAN'T do meth while touring...because you need to Sleep for 3 days at a time, there's just Not that much downtime.......it's just a matter of physics how the drugs work, you can't escape the massive Sleep binge periods that come after.
Man I did speed once during university. And never again. Took away the things I love the most - sleeping and eating. Fuck that. The satisfaction from a good nights sleep and from eating something when you’re hungry - can’t beat that with any drugs. I still enjoy some pot now and again - but nothing else for me thank you. Sober state of mind is important
I like how Steve-O and Jonathan are open and honest about their past with drugs. Ive always been too ashamed to open up about my history with meth because people are very judgmental unfortunately. Meth is one hell of a drug to quit. I was addicted for many many years (along with cocaine and opiates) but I can proudly say that I am sober now and people who can quit drugs are very strong because if you can do that, then you can do anything.
secret random pick to bringing great life opportunities to my loyal fans. You highly deserve a complete recognition as one of my favorite. I'm not making this official, till I'm finally done with the random pick... Hope to read from you soon... Your friend 🌹
The high of Meth was amazing. The low of it was death. I was high for over 4 days once on my 15 month addiction and it was the worst of the best. I used a bottle a day of Wild Turkey to bring me down. I hated psychosis and it was scary as hell. I had a regular job and tried to the best of my abilities to function during my addiction. That's what made it that much scarier. I felt guilty and knew I had to stop. I went to rehab on my own, and I've been sober for 15 months.
I did that shit for about 6 years and the only thing that stopped me was going to Europe for 8 years. Out there it's mostly cocaine they generally don't sell meth out there. So I took cocaine out there. Long story.
The fact that Jonathan can speak about his addiction so openly and even chuckle about it is heartwarming. I know it's a demon he'll deal with for life, but it's good to see him handling it so well.
@@johnnymnemonic6671 Right, you get the fun of the story but no chasing drugs, no OD' s. Not alot of the BS in just a story. As long as the story don't sound too fun!! Lol.
@@awsomesauce03 big truth there brother. Had some good times tripping and being confused as shit. That was untill I had a seizure that threw me in a coma 😅
@@openingupanicefreshcanofab2853 yea all fun and games till you realise what's making all those thoughts funny is your brain short circuiting left right and center. Hope you're recovered.
@@awsomesauce03 I use to slip into psychosis and take some opiates and it would perfectly even me out and it would be more euphoric than normal too and it would be a comfortable trip almost. Crazy shit. I didnt know many people that knew that opiates are perfect for that and also perfect for the comedown although dangerous and destructive. But I did have some very weird strange experiences.
Korn is my all time favorite band. Jackass was my all time favorite show to just throw on and enjoy. seeing these two dudes talk about their past issues with drugs really makes me feel glad for them, and its proof that anyone could kick a habit with enough determination and support from friends and family. these two seem to be in a really good place and i hope they continue to provide a excellent example for those struggling
I can finally say I like some korn again. Only in the past few months have I started to genuinely appreciate their work. I was actually given their first CD when I was six years old, so it was some of the earliest music I had ever heard. Glad I’ve come back around to enjoy them again.
Jonathan Davis and Korn pretty much saved my life. All throughout middle and highschool I dealt with really bad bullying and such which were some of the subjects of his songs- I went from Metallica to Korn and I'd never heard music so intense and full of emotion before. The first few albums really helped me get through some serious issues in my school life and beyond that, even. I come back to Korn every now and again just because it's good venting music. Always dreamed about meeting Jonathan Davis when I was a kid and just giving him a hug; him and Slipknot's music totally helped me recognize and vent off a lot of anger I had when I was younger.
Hearing this level of realness combined with seeing how okay they are talking about and reminiscing makes me feel like forgiving myself for my choices is possible and it really filled me up with something good. Thank you, sincerely. It'll be 28 months in 2 days and I'm still uncomfortable talking about it.
Thanks, it's been a hell of a ride but I'm still going 🤘 I actually just passed my 3 year mark this month. To anybody reading this, if I can do it, it's possible for anyone. I was drug down by losing a parent and a child among other things and gave up my sobriety when I felt my lowest, which in turn gave me a glimpse of true rock bottom. It's not worth it, I can promise you. Please talk to someone if anybody gets that low and don't try to patch your pain with drugs.
Kudos to a man who can admit that he loves the drugs so much, but still have the wherewithal to know he can't do them. I couldn't imagine the mental struggle he actually goes through every day. That's a hell of a man right there, nothing but respect.
Relapses are never forgone. There are many who relapse after years and years of sobriety - I’m even talking about people who haven’t partook since being in their 20’s and then relapse in their 40’s, it oftentimes killing them.
What a wild ride .This video had me sweating lol . I love the psychosis . Steve o " loved watching people in my apartment that weren't there "... Jonathan Davis oh God 😂😭😂. Steveo yea dude . That ending was hilarious 😂😂😂 to know that feeling only a true mether has gone through
Steve O really is an inspiration. Im at the "I cant keep doing this" stage of my substance abuse. But I've still got king kong on my back that keeps me under. I kind of avoided sober Steve O videos but I'm not anymore. I feel that if there's any dude on this earth who I could learn some truths from and to learn how to make it stick its Steve-O
It's pretty awesome that we can openly talk about stories like this. It makes me realize I'm not alone and some of my idols have been through worse experiences. You guys are superheroes.
I started to listen Korn in '98 when I was 13 years old. Still love those guys, still love metal, still love Steve-O. This interview was like a dream come true, all of my favorite people in one place. Thanks.
I’ve never done meth because it’s destroyed several of my friends lives. I did cocaine in college and I loved it so much it was scary. I was always a huge fan of mushrooms. I’m proud of Steve-O, Jonathan, and anyone who can beat severe addiction. I’m 39 now and my drug days are long gone besides the occasional Mary Jane.
Drugs. Evil yet fun. Man, I miss those wild times. Likely did every drug on the planet to excess..and while it was awesome feeling, it destroyed my life, my body, my family and my friendships. It took nearly dying of complete liver failure before I woke the fuck up. Without a last minute miracle full liver transplant, I would have bit the dust at 41 years old. Now, I'm clean and sober and celebrate my 44th birthday tomorrow!😊❤
@Swords Chant if you are supposed to sleep roughly 8 hours a week a night, then that is 56 hours a week. There are 168 hours in a week. That means a normal adult should be awake 112 hours a week. THAT BEING SAID, I totally understand what you meant. I take Adderall (prescribed) most of my waking hours, and I know it is cutting my lifespan down. I hope you continue to live a life without speed. You got this :)
Much love to Jonathan Davis 🙏🏼 it sucks knowing he went through a dark addiction but I’m glad he’s sober now. He gives all of us here in Bakersfield hope that we’ll make it out one day too🤘🏼
"cool psychosis", "I love psychosis, man!" Man, I think those statements are about the scariest things I have ever heard out of another human's mouth! For someone to actually enjoy going insane is crazy! That's some damn scary territory in my book! When you reach that razor-thin line of sanity or insanity, or that certain peak of "consciousness" or lack thereof, not everyone is fortunate enough to make it back! Steve-O is damn lucky to have made it out of that Hell as he did!
@The Energizer Mommy Haha, I hear ya! Nah, ingesting copious amounts of drugs known to cause psychosis and/or death in many cases, such as Phencyclidine and NOS, are quite literally mind killers! When Steve-O busted through the ol' neighbor's wall whacked out on the crap, he's damn lucky the neighbor didn't dispatch him, that neighbor deserves the good neighbor award of the century, haha!
One of the worst ones was when I was lying down with my eyes closed and this distant baritone voice went from "ahhh" to "ARGHHH!!!" right in my ear. This was during a relapsr period bc I got clean soon after
The funny thing is a lot of people who suffer from psychosis take drugs to try to ESCAPE the psychosis. It is not fun at all, and people who have it are usually the most prone to have drug addictions.
I think the thing with Steve-o IS pushing IT to that limit every damn time. IT being everything. Drugs, alcohol, paper cuts in painful places and/or all of the physical trauma he has put himself through. Hell he was on Hot Ones for a second time and hot sauced his eye. Aggressively hot sauced his eye I might add. My point is that he may have cut out certain substances but IMHO Steve-o's real addiction=Riding that razor thin apex and sometimes (intentionally) cresting over it. Maximum everything. Not judging by any means. FWIW he is also one of the most interesting people and a great interview
Smoked weed and did drugs for 20+ years. Sober now 15+ years. When I was using I felt depressed and had low self esteem. Loving life now being sober. 😍
I love how happy and excited steve o is to listen. He sits there with a big smile on his face the whole time he’s listening and is never looking to interject
1 year 3 months and 12 days sober from iv heroin and meth, I wouldn't wish the evil of addiction on my worse enemy. Drugs can turn this best person with the best heart and intentions into a person they never imagined was possible and will do anything to score, thank God I'm not still in that hopeless cycle of addiction.
I found KoRns self titled album in someone's yard one day walking down the street in Flint, like you just know some Karen started her car and her teen's cd was in the player and she just whipped that shit out the window. It made it so much more precious to me.🤣
I found System Of A Down's "Toxicity" album in an abandoned cd player inside the unused attic of a tiny creepy church we were exploring when I was 11 years old in 2001. Still have no idea what it was doing there, but the album blew my young mind.
Love you jon david, Youve been my hero since elementary. Im 26 now. Long story short, youve helped me through alot with your music. And you help keep me sober. I will always call korn my soul music.
I rarely watch full podcasts of anything but I might give this a try. I feel like I owe it to Jonathan Davis. I was such a huge fan of Korn back in middle school. Glad to see he’s still around.
John Davis used to visit us at the USO when I was in the Army. He's the coolest dude ever! He'd come and hang with us for hours! He definitely showed up, and helped me when I was at a dark period in life after deployment to Iraq.✌🏾❤️
I got addicted to meth/crack at 14 I'm 16 now being on the streets had affected me so much I turned back to it after a year being sober I relapsed at the start of January I'm disappointed but I can try to help myself n others stay strong guys
I can relate to Steve-O saying, "I love the psychosis." Keep in mind my tolerance was super high, so don't ever try this. One time I took 15 Vyvanse and 6 Ambien. As a result, the Devil, himself, appeared behind this huge, self-made latch on the front of my door. It was about a 3ft long 2×4 that swung up and down to latch over the door. The Devil said, "Let me out." I lifted the latch, then he said, "Yes... Now everything is yours." After that he just floated up into the ceiling and out of the room. There was this other time I had an outer body experience after being up for 3 days on an abundance of drugs and taking a handful of Tramadol. After about 30 minutes of taking them, I took a hit of weed from a pipe and instantly watched my body get farther and farther away, until "my soul" shot out of existence and in to what seemed like my own dimension. At the time, in my mind, it was a space that was between Heaven and Hell. To me it seemed like I "beat the system." I've been clean for 8 years now, but will never forget the psychosis.
The first time I took adderall I took a lot more than I should have but.... hallucinations to that degree? I don’t know man, even shrooms don’t produce hallucinations to that affect. Not calling you a liar or anything but just saying.
Also explains why the last few albums have sucked... because all the band member are clean from meth and two of them have become religious. So that's what happened, they got cured of their evil and now their song doesn't have that nice evil heavy sound it did in the 1st two albums :(
@@getnorgetout9425 Yeah it's like everyone is just obsessed with the downfall of others in certain things like music genre's. Also kinda like how people are fascinated with serial killers. We're just really fucked as a species tbh.
Back when I was prescribed vivanse(a type of amphetamine) for my ADD, I would occasionally have those moments of psychosis if I didn't sleep. It was bizarre seeing people or thinking something was going to happen but didn't. I thought cops were coming to kill me and were hiding in my alley or behind fences. I thought my ex gf and her best friend were throwing stuff at my bedroom window and followed them down the street. I was convinced they were playing hide and seek but no one was there. After that I have a whole new appreciation for people who deal with mental illnesses that causes delusions and hallucinations. And needless to say, I stopped taking ADD medications altogether. Wish there was a better alternative.
5 years clean off Meth! It led me homeless and on the brink of death. I still hear voices but I’m pretty discerning. Life is so much better when your living in it! I’m proud of you Jonathan and Steve!!
Im dealing with alcohol right now and it's ruining my fucking life I'm 38 years old and it has costed me a marriage that I thought would be forever and I became an alcoholic. I hope that anyone who has an addiction can find a way to get rid of all of it. It's terrible. It started off as fun but there's no fun in drinking and while you are drunk hating every moment of what you're done cuz you are aware of what you are doing
It was easy for me, I just started doing uber and saw how dumb people acted on the weekends and thought "is that what I look and sound like?" then quit.
Dude, having been a heroin addict and meth addict simultaneously, I totally understand feeling so sick to your stomach at just the thought. Just had blood work done and yeah, when they have to dig all around in your arms for veins? Blachhhh!
Next time have them go straight for your hands. It's easier to draw blood from your hand. I have to do this all the time because they can't find my veins, but I don't do meth, so it might not be the meth that caused your small veins.
As a 13 kid in Middle School rocking Korn’s first album, Helmet in the Bush was one of my favorite songs. Still reminds me of childhood bumping that song in my Sony discman on my way to school. Had no idea it was actually about meth lol. I agree with a lot of the comments here…as a recovering addict hearing these stories help ease my pain and guilt. I’ve done a lot wrong and hurt a lot of people, but over 3 years clean now and just try to be the best version of myself each day going forward. That is the only way I can pay retribution for the mistakes I’ve made.
@@ViktorLucca I've seen stuff like heroin ruin people's lives, I lost one of my best high school friends to the shit. Watching what cigarettes and alcohol did to my dad was so much worse though. About three years after my dad quit smoking, he was diagnosed with COPD and became chained to an oxygen concentrator. He rode motorcycles his whole life but once he was no longer able to ride, he gave up. I tell people that he got into a fight with a Jack Daniels bottle because he started hitting it hard. I would get up at 8am and find him with the bottle in his hand, then in early 2019 his liver began to fail and he was told that he wasn't eligible for a transplant. I watched him slowly fade away until the bottle hit back in July of that year
Meth PSA. I'm from Vancouver, Canada. I have worked in and around harm-reduction. If you or someone you know is wanting to come off meth, do the following: A) Liquids. Skim milk, hot maybe with honey. 1 day for light meth use, 3 days for heavy or long term use. After that switch to teas: Jasmine, Ginseng, Oolong, Green. Be near bathroom facilities. 2) Soup and Salads. Spicy soups can work wonders, get a nice cleansing sweat going. Have a lot of different salads. Fruit & nuts. 3) Now take Niacin, Omega 3, and Zinc supplements for a month. After all this, look into counseling.
I was only sober for 5 months and some guy I bought a bike from looked like he smoked meth so I had to ask. I did it once again last week. I was tempted today to pick up. I didn’t.
Dude, think about everything you'll be losing by staying on drugs. The good vs the bad just doesn't make it worth it. It is possible to stay clean and for your sake I hope you do
I actually also liked the psychosis. You are awake for days on drugs and eventually they stop working cuz your brain ran out of neurotransmitters. So you get to have a crazy psychosis where you see things and people, you hear sounds and music. It's very scary for the uninitiated. But I had done a lot of psychedelics before ever using stimulants for days on end so it was a nice bonus to finish off the journey.
First time I heard someone else say that you literally feel it coming out of every pore on your body. Such a nasty drug and after the 20th time the taste would be so bad I almost puke every time. Definitely not my favorite. Been clean for 4 years though.
Cool ass video great stories! Glad these brutha’s made it thru those crazy times! I have 4yrs clean/sober myself✊🏼Hard work in the beginning but definitely Blessed🙏🏼 Be safe everyone🤟🏽
Yeah bonghits and coupla beers everything in moderation gotta find the sweetspot Everybody knows personally when they go off the rails responsibility of your own actions suck it up be a man
Yea all that out of control insanity is only fun until you realize you want a strong family and you want to be worthy of being called a man, then that nonsense evaporates as quickly as it appeared into your life.
Thought I had a p.i. watching me, several of them... taking pictures, notes, etc.. that's when it was time to lay off and get some sleep. fuck that shit
I've never been into drugs anything other than weed, but I was a HEAVY tobacco user for 7 years. Tried to quit like 20 times, failed every time. Then I got into jiu jitsu and the only thing that was holding me back during training was I could hardly breathe. My sensei said "you need to throw those cigarettes away, I can hear you wheezing over everyone in the room" and somehow that flipped a switch in my head, I quit smoking the next day and haven't smoked in 7 years. Sometimes I miss it, but as soon as I think about how nice it would be to take a drag, I am immediately assaulted with memories of wheezing and coughing up brown shit in the morning. No thanks. Never again.
18 Years meth free! Thank you God! I love how these two can be so transparent with their former addiction. Even though addiction is an awful thing, once you have years of sobriety you can have a laugh at your crazy stories.
Try 120 hours, then the hallunications come so real it's ubelieveable. I saw Maradonas goal of the century on this like 2cm by 5cm screen on a scale and walls started just to fall to the ground and then a new wall just appereaded behind the old wall and alot of more weird stuff. You always know in the back of your mind that they're hallucinations, but they seem so unbeleviably real.
Oh my God how real is your statement honestly I would start to hear music through a fan that was on I would turn on a fan and it would make sort of a chugging sound and I would start to hear metal music playing for some reason I could hear the instruments everything and another time I started to hear Opera and it was kind of like I was tuning into like different radio stations somewhere it was really f****** weird it all together is a weird type of process
I used to love meth psychosis too but it's not so fun when the euphoria fades and you're still hearing shit and seeing shit months after you quit. Everything has a price, and some highs just aren't meant to be reached by us.
@@neilmacijczak5058 yes I do, especially if I get stressed and anxious or like if I drink too much caffeine it can happen. And I can't use any more because I slip into psychosis within an hour or two of using. I've met other people as well who have the same shit going on
I had rich friend who lived on a lake...but he did meth. He called himself a functional meth head. But everytime we were on his doc he would flip the fuck out about police boats. It could be some poor bastard on a paddle boat and he would be screaming and hiding yelling "police boat!! Its a fuckin police boat"...so. yeah...after hangin with Nick I just decided I didn't need police boat drama in my life
I'm still fighting my meth addiction but I'm currently in law school for Criminal Justice in Human Services to help addicts praying that it will help me with my addiction in the process. I do make sure I handle my bizness regardless of what I do , so my best advice is DO THE DRUG DONT LET IT DO YOU!!!!
How did he come up with all those awesome asf song lyrics, and sing them so well, high on meth and alcohol? Its mind blowing. I'm glad he got sober tho.
@@whateverwhatever5715 I was wondering because there’s one part from that show (if I remember the song or time mark I’ll post it) but JD starts swaying back and forth with his hands in the air, almost prancing, just like a demon dancing around a dead body or something lol. It was so evil, it looked awesome in a way but I’m glad he’s alright now haha
really impressed with their confidence in talking about this..i cant do that shit openly like that.. only certain friends i can open up with.. to do it where the whole world can hear me.. that takes a whole other level of confidence. hats off
I swear the E we used to get in 2001 was laced with meth/speed because we used to be awake for days feeling like a god and it was actual heaven. I tried E a few years ago again and there’s just no comparison. Man I miss those days.
