Jonathan Davis Vocal BREAKDOWN. Freak On A Leash. KORN w/ ISOLATED Studio Tracks (Sing Like, Reacts) 

Jonathan's voice has also aged so well. A lot of people onlly talk about his old songs, which is amazing, but barely anyone talks about his vocals in Korn's newer stuff, like on The Nothing. Such emotional, wide range vocals by him on that album... BTW, Thank you for doing this one, Chris! Been requesting it for a while!

BOOM-na-naHmm-Na-naEEnom DA-BOOM-na-naHmm-Na-naEEnom DA-BOOM-na-naHmm-Na-naEEnom GOOO!!!!

This was the first result for "How to speak Korn". Very helpful, thank you

Damn you’re so good at your job dude

Always LOVED Korn and JD's vocals...his 'Tasmanian-Devil-Beat-Boxing', though....friggin' amazing! Thanks for breaking this down, Chris!

His vocals on Queen of the Damned were amazing.

Hey man you should try to recreate the song form KoRn called twist

JD doesn't get enough credit for his voice! U get the feeling yhat he can sing anything

Your voice is gold dude. Holy shit. You can literally do whatever you want and you choose to teach. You are 100% someone people should look up to for many reasons. You have my respect:)

I’m so much better after this. Thank you!

That's pretty impressive the diving in on how JD sings! Never would have thought about that! So cool Man!

17:31: Me when someone asks me for the wifi password

Legendary voice !

Jeez, i was going to say that "ooh, another 99th video about the "Freak on a Leash", good but not great" but i believe that this one is the most detailed breakdown and i found a lots of stuff that makes vocal in this song so great (and i'm really impressed that JD did that almost at the start of his vocal career). Really really great work, Chris! And the scat-part was really interesting. Nevertheless i'd like to know something about newer albums ("The Nothing" especially) cause i have a feeling that whole RU-vid is stuck in these 2000-2005 so there's nothing new for 10-15 years. Annd. So many people think that he's moaning all the time like a sheep 'cause he's doing it in this very famous song. But he isn't doing it all the time and there's a bunch of another cool techniques he uses. Songs like "Let The Guilt Go" or "Holding All These Lies" are great as well and quite various in vocal aspects but kinda underestimated Thanks again anyway for this video, been waiting so long for JD'd style

This is legit a great analysis. Not many people brave or talented enough to take on JD

7:56 I imagined Jonathan Davis actually doing that in the studio. That cracked me up.

Well... That was definitely worth the wait! I thought I knew everything he does in this song , but a few elements caught me by surprise in this video. Like how Jonathan actually uses grit in the first verse of the song. Mind blown there LOL If possible in the future could you do a vocal breakdown on Are You Ready to Live? Jonathan has some excellent variety in that song and it should be broken down at some point.

I first want to say I just came across this and thank you so much for doing this song!! You did absolutely amazing!!! I have been a huge fan since day one!!!! Blind and self titled I fell in love with!!! They definitely came with a sound like no other!! They are still my absolute favorite band and always will be!! Have the KoRn logo tatted on my lower back, JD’s signature tatted on my calf and met them many times!!! I just came across this!!

This is by far the wildest and most interesting thing I´ve seen since years! I LOVE this song and was always impressed by its dynamic and vocal energy. I wondered what it is, that makes Freak on a Leash so awesome and full of energy. Now I know. Thank you so much for this vocal breakdown, it was entertaining and I learned a lot! :-)

that impression 11:01 tho SUPER accurate, it can really trick someone into think that it was actually jhonathan

Thanks Again Chris! Made my Friday!

Very very impressive, you are super talented!

This makes me appreciate the song AND your channel that much more! Excellent video!! 👊🏽

YEEESSSSSS JD is my favorite frontman, this one's gonna be great! 🖤🤘

LOVE that scat type singing in the break. Never thought of it as percussive tho. Man, you nailed this one! 😁👍🏼💯👌🏼 Have you ever heard of the Korn song called Twist? It's off Life is peachy, 1st song. That's the first time i heard Jonathan do that scat type singing. Give that song a listen man! 😁👍🏼

Chris, love your insights and been following you for a while now. These vids are compelling me to sign up for your course. Your technique is interesting and accessible. One quick request if I may: Can you break down Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson (Sigur Ros). You’re probably the only one who can do it well. Keep this channel alive brother! You’re awesome!

I’ve really been enjoying these newer videos you’ve been doing in this style! Been really looking forward to a Johnathan Davis video for awhile now too!I’d love to hear Big Time, Red Rain or Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. I love his use of compression to get his grit, and breathiness, his head voice or falsetto and how he throws his voice, or belts in a way that’s like yodelling

Definitley making some of those sounds after mexican night

Love your videos man! I would really like to see a video about Shaun Morgan of Seether.

I appreciate that you get that looking a little silly every once in a while so you can actually get your point (and the information) across in a way where people have examples to use as a reference for the different stages of actually GETTING to the sound they're trying to achieve. Most people worry about looking cool and tough while giving people like.. 5 bullet points of "no shit" generalities with no examples. Seriously, GREAT stuff you're doing here.

Great video, thanks Chris!

Hey, Chris, you should try breaking down TAKA’s voice from One Ok Rock specially on their song One by One! I just can’t figure out how he does those high pitched screams so effortlessly! There’s also a live version of that song where you can clearly hear his amazing voice!

I can already tell this will tie in nicely with your video on Chester. They both use that whiny, compressed whisper as a way to preface the heavy chorus. Jonathan always seemed to have a lot more instability in his voice, though. Edit: nice British accent at 5:21

Hey Chris, I am deeply impressed by your reproducing the percussive middle part with your own voice - I have never heard anoyne get so close to the original before. Actually, you're sounding just like it while you experiment with that part. Thank you for demonstrating how to pick this technique apart and recreate it piece by piece. Amazing work!

Wow, Another great lesson ! I'm blown away by the effort you put in your videos, man. Thank you !

I'm the worst cuz I have a set of professional studio headphones and yet every single time I watch one of these, it's on my phone speaker 😂

hey, chris! made a youtube account specifically to make this comment: you should do a video on either dara kiely from girl band (irish noise rock group), or alexis marshall from daughters. thanks so much for the awesome videos-they’re extremely helpful for a somewhat shy (and also very broke) novice like myself!

I wonder if the percussive breathing style is from playing bagpipes

KoRn has been my favorite band since a kid. It's great to have this analysis, I have always idolized his voice. Thank you so much!

I cant believe you spent so much time on his scatting i love the breakdown thank you that was awesome

You are the only one who I think will be able to answer this Chris. Since of your understanding of the vocals, I'm asking you these questions. 1) What type of scale does KORN run with typically? Minor? Major? Augmented? Diminished? 2) Can u show us how to get the Skrillex/Korn sound? Any free software out there for dubstep metal djent???? Am I asking for too much? Ra5

"I've been exthra percuthive abouth ith!" I'm sorry, normally I don't laugh at this stuff but this one got me crying.

Hmmm, id like to see something of this for Travis Ryan on a song called Time's Cruel Curtain

Dude, your videos are amazing! It's incredible how techniques are present in musics that are so natural to the original singer. I use to believe that the style and voice was just the "gift" of each singer, their natural and unique sound. Watching your videos opened my eyes to the huge variety of skills and resources a singer must train and develop. Thanks for sharing!

That wobbly sort of falling off sound that he uses reminds me of grunge a lot. At times he also reminds me of Manson the way he uses the fry to start or end some lines. Although I suppose those kind of tie together. Awesome as always!

If by any chance you want to have a look into melodic rap. Please do SHEFF G. He’s got an amazing singing voice but he can also be very raw and raspy and hard. Would be sick to see

That's funny asf but also very informative. How JD goes all the way across the spectrum from head voice to really low lows like in that FOOOIGHT. I'm practicing Tearjerker (really great song, check it out). This video helped me to understand more about his nasal whiny tone and his voice overall.

Awesome! You should do a video on how to sing like Cody Carson from the band Set It Off.

Man, talk about a truly one of a kind voice. Great job, dude!

I always loved JD's voice. After watching this, i love it even more. Great job. Thank you!

"Don't be afraid to sound dumb, I'm not." -Had my like right there.

Neither my favorite band nor singer Still, theres so much to learn

Daaaaaamn, you are so fucking awesome dude, keep it going ❤️ love your videos

Using the voice as fx - compression, EQ; using breath percussively, so many other concepts I had no idea of ... 23.30 and beyond so cool. Wow Chris you're an Olympic gymnast. Gold medal for you.

Thanks for doing these videos and the free course Chris, you helped me a lot!

THANK YOU CHRIS!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS EVER SENSE YOU SAID YOU'D DO A VIDEO ON HIM!!!

hey man I really like your videos, your free course really helped me re-find my voice, now, as someone who has been a ‘rock’ singer for a decade and now speaks softly for a living as an asmr creator haha, i find it harder and harder to rock the s**t out of my chest voice and really grip a consistent tone, pitch and placement. my head/ falsetto is fine, I just want to enhance my chest for more folk/ Americana style music, that blues, country, folk, rock fusion that lives so heavily in a ‘talk’ singing chest voice. I love the way you teach, if any of your courses or videos are heavily chest/ foundation based (I have no issue in paying for a course haha) please point me towards it. Cheers dude, take it easy, peace

18:20 I needed this

Please do a video on Peter Steele from Type o Negative and/or Rob Zombie. You're so good at these sing like videos and I would love to see some on these guys. Thank you 🙂

Yoo it's finally here.....been waiting for this one!!

2:12 every time he talks through his nose he sounds like the dirty bubble from SpongeBob

Man his stage whisper sounds like imperfect cell, it’s really cool

Just excellent. Wow, so impressed. Way waaay better than what Tamplin is doing. Kudos!!

this is really really good i got a lesson and a good laugh out of it!

Thanks for video Chris! Not big fan of JD’s vocals, but tryn his style was an interesting experience.

JONATHAN DAVIS AND CHRIS LIEPE? LET'S GET IT!!!!

Johnathan has THE COOLEST VOICE EVER! And you sir did an incredible job dissecting it! Excellent job I'm impressed!! You're a great teacher!

i am trying to figure out my fry screams - is harsh vocal made by Johnathan quite close to this sound? Like I just need to get “over” the clean notes and I get there? Or no Help

Hi. I love your videos. Can you do how grlwood sing or something? Im curious and I've never seen video about this before so ya

Your work is Amazing. One of my favorite channel. I would love to see you do the same with Kingdom from Devin Townsend.

I love how when JD is scatting, it feels like he's irritating his throat while it's all the contrary

Dude You did an amazing job demonstrating the vocal imitation attempts on this one One of my New Chris Favorites

YEEESSSSSS THANK YOU CHRISSSSSS

really waiting for this one.....Thanks Chris😆 appreciate it man

Still waiting for an Adam Lambert video breakdown on his song Love dont or Lucy

Hey, Chris, why don’t you teach a bitbox style?) You have a nice inclinations)

Wow! you are amazing! thank you for sharing your awesome video ..Just was wondering if you could do a video of the King! Elvis on his voice singing Suspicious Minds Thank you

first 5 minutes i almost thought it was a 'How to speak like Arnold' tutorial lmao,. jokes asides, great breakdown and content, keep it up...

Linkin Park would have been perfect to cover this one. Chester's voice is kinda similar.

Great study. Thanks very much!! _\,,/

Something tells me he just did some fun drugs and winged it.

this was the first korn's song that I heard

Do a video on Claudio Sanchez’s voice

Funny thing, I came to this video right after your older video on Confidence, and it feels like this song really embodies that mindset. Even the verse is kinda "soft and whisper"-like, but pretty far away from any "correct pitch". And obviously the whole guttural-percussion-segment takes this to an extreme, but very notable even before that :)

Sounds like constipated Squidward XD

Cookiemonster part was incredible :)

This was awesome! I have wondered how this song works for years. How do you sing Twist?

I started watching this video at 21:45 and thought it was a Klingon lesson.

When it comes to the growls like "fight" you should not try 😉 otherwise great

RED - Michael Barnes please...

I just love your work, so enjoyable to wach and learning *a lot* of it. Would you consider analysing *Love, Hate, Love by Alice In Chains?* This band in general is vocal analysis material for a life time... Best regards

Great stuff :) The fact that JD's voice (and doubles) is not "tuned" adds to these dissonances that exactly serve it's purpose .

I love his dynamics, and masterful use of compression. Thanks for for this deep-dive on this brilliant voice style‼️ I’m ramping up to lay vocals on about a dozen tracks, so this is a nugget of gold. Thanks beoheim 🤘🏻

I love you Chris!!!! I was waiting for this since I made the suggestion, definitely there's a lot of interesting stuff here, such a charismatic singer IMO! I think what's most interesting about him is that he knows perfectly how to sound like he's on the edge of freaking out, and I believe this mindset takes you to 80% of the way to sound "like" him, I mean, take this richness into your own singing :) Now I'll wait longer for some content on Roy Khan. Unfortunately, he's way less popular, however, he's denifitely VERY interesting! "One Cold Winter's Night" DVD as reference :D

Wow. I'd absolutely LOVE for you to be my vocal coach.

You rozkminiacz!

What are the Vocal Effects on the "Wanna Feel Like" Parts I think its more then a Flagler?

I grew up on this type of music & to watch you break down the vocals like this was truly special to me. Amazing work!! Just goes to show how far ahead these guys were at the time of the recording 🔥

You should a vocal break down for twist by korn!
