KORN - Freak On A Leash (FIRST TIME REACTION!!!) 

Lmao bro it’s ok that face is what everyone makes when it drops

The drop when Jonathan Davies shouts *GO* is one of the most undeniable moments you're likely to come across in music. It's absolutely worth a stankface!! :)

Korn was hugely known to add 808 bass drops in their sound and hip hop influence mixing it with metal, it’s a really cool and unique sound and back then was revolutionary, if you really enjoyed that you’re gonna love my top 5 korn songs with 808s Korn: blind korn: falling away from me Korn: children of the korn ft ice cube Korn: Justin Korn: adidas

When he said “GO!” That shit was hilarious 😂 crazy to see ppl just now hearing all this metal and rock when I was raised on it 😂😂

"Here To Stay" is mad crunchy

They use alternative tunings for their guitars, and for the bass. Jonathan Davis, the lead vocalist, is HEAVILY influenced by Rap music, and considers Korn to be something of a fusion of Rap and Metal and other styles. I would strongly suggest taking a listen to "Got the Life" as the disco beat is a completely unique addition to any form of metal. I saw Korn in El Paso, and they sound just as chaotically polished and intense live as they do in studio recordings. Jonathan Davis was personally influenced a lot by Electronic Dance Music and New Wave Music from the 1980s. He was a huge fan of the band "The Cure." There is also a really cool interview with co-lead guitarist Brian Welch (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QMdEG1-jY3Q.html) where he discusses the origins of the band's sound. Glad you're flowing natural again! Peace out!

You should react to korn blind Live Woodstock 99. The crowd goes crazy!!!!

2:43 It's a phaser with a really fast rate setting combined with a Whammy effect for the pitch.

You HAVE to listen to Shoots and Ladders. It’s the first Korn song I remember hearing in high school in the mid 90’s.

Okay, whoever told you to check out KoRn did a good job. NOW you gotta see Woodstock 99 Blind...best korn moment ever bro.

So the song is about the bands feeling of being in the music industry. They’re freaks but have to be managed, marketable, and obligated to their contacts. So they are essentially on the Leash of the music industry

I love "Coming Undone" and "Twisted Transistor".

❤ korn....all their music is very cool

I loved your reaction. You seem to acknowledge and respect everything with a very intelligent and bright mind. Peace from Florida brother and may God Bless You. Keep up the good work.

He said interesting voice!! He has no idea whats about to happen. Love the korn skat❤️

They used 7 string guitars with a special tune for those extra juicy low notes. That's why the heavy parts sound so sexy.

I met Johnathan Davis in Las Vegas. Nicest guy you can ever meet. Took pics with us and shot the shit for 15 minutes. His management guy with him and kept tapping his watch. Telling Jonathan he had to go. Jonathan told him to chill, he's talking to some fans. This guy is a true Gentleman/Rockstar. Not many like this one... Goes without saying the whole band are amazing. Freak on a Leash Epic !!!

You are such a genuine reactor. Analytical and authentic, you are!

Thanks for the reaction like seeing how young people react to a song of my 20's, released in 1999 this video was very unique for the cinematic style for a hard rock and heavy mental band as no other added that hip hop beatbox style before a very uncharted territory for that style of music, Korn is one of the most artistic and great rock bands still touring just not during Covid, their lyrics have meaning and can be extremely deep and personal like the song "Daddy" brutal honesty and pain the lead singer Jonathan endured as a child the song is brutal and raw and none of it at the end is fake actual studio recording left in by them where he has an emotional breakdown while recording the song. They are the most unappreciated rock band of this generation but hopefully through the younger generation discovering them and listening to their music they will get the respect the deserve for this genre there is also another video that is a continuation from this song if you haven't listened to it yet called "Falling Away From Me" you will see the animee live action again.

this man just pulls out the word "acuity" like it's no big deal tho.

Yeeeeah, Korn is Korn, a hug from Buenos Aires, Argentina, KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!!!

You earned my respect 1000% by calling it “scatting” and not just jumping straight to beat boxing or some shit. 💪🏼💪🏼

I Love your channel! You have some great reactions. And you gotta do MORE MORE Korn. I must say, they are one of my favorite bands so I'm biased :0) But they make great music in my opinion so I suggest you give them boys another listen. Lastly, DAVID RULES RAY DROOLS ( my Korn fans know what I'm talkin bout).

Korn is considered Nu-metal. Such a unique style & band. Love the lead vocalist Johnathan and their whole vibe ✌❤🔥

That face at 4:23. Haha, I 100% can relate. They tune down a whole step to get that deep guitar sound and the bass player uses a quasi slap technique so the strings hit the fretboard to get that clicking sound. I think he boosts the highs and the lows and drops the mids too. Good ear, dude.

Dude you have no idea how huge these guys were when this album dropped, they blew a hole in the ozone!

KoRn's song 'Wake Up' is great, y'gotta check it out!!!! 🎸🤘🎸

Chorus and tremolo. Phasers. 808s. You got a good ear. This album has some of the coolest pedal effects on guitars and vocals, a couple years before everything in music went digital. 94-98 Korn was all analog recording tape, pedals & 808s. After that there is a lot more of an electronic aspect

Very cool reaction to Korn! You can tell that so many other genres of music besides Metal influence them. Thanks.❤

The bass sound is produced from slapping with the palm and thumb. The heavy crunchy guitar sound is from the 7 strings they use. Great reaction my friend!

Yeah, this song is absolute Devastation! Right Now is an Atom Bomb!

Jay, I've always liked you, but from 4:25 I love ya man, that genuine body language is just brill mate! X

Man I love your comments and reactions!!

First time watching your channel. Dope reaction bruh

They did a song called Children of the corn ft. Ice Cube. You will love it I promise.

I like this reaction. First time here and it earned my sub. Other people give quick general tidbits but you had the ear to singularly pick out what each instrument is doing. And yeah that bass really stood out on this track.

Fieldy slaps the shit out of that bass!

Enjoyed this!!!🤘

Scatting. Exactly!

One of my favourite things about Korn is and always GS been the unique Bass guitar sound

Just in case nobody mentions it, the guitarist tunes the low string to a C which is a whole step below a drop D. Along with the bass that’s how they achieve that thundering sound. One of a kind band. 🎶🎵

He wasn't expecting The Go!!!!! Love the reaction subbed 👍

Best, freshest reaction videos on RU-vid. Head and shoulders above the fray!

Very 1st time my ears hear Korn I was about 13 and was visiting my uncle, he asked if I liked metal music, I said yea kinda, cause I was more into grunge at the time. He threw on their Life is Peachy album and the very first track is called Twist, its pretty much just Jonathan Davis doing the scat kinda sound amd some hard instruments. I was immediately hooked ❤

Love it!

Best stankface ever! Hands down! Besides the fact this guy seems to actually understand music, he is hilarious! Love it

Hey man, I know this reaction been out more than a minute, in fact until last week, I've never watched a reaction to this song at all, not because I don't like it, but it was so huge when it came out in all the circles I ran in, it became one of those bangers you get tired of, but then revisit it 10 or 20yrs later and are like....Damn!! I forgot how friggin' good this song is. So I've consumed probably 50 or more reactions this past week because I absolutely love seeing people react to the break and then the drop. BUT....what I popped into say is, For one, my algorithm hasn't been bringing me your channel lately and I'm glad to see ya still doing your thing, and grindin'. Second, your reaction showed me you're still the best reactor in the game, or at least top 3, no cap! I think we chatted after an RATM song, about a year ago, about some effects or something, that I was amazed how accurately you called the technique in the studio or something like that, I'm the dude that used to apprentice and work part time at a sound studio before going into firefighting. So on this song, of all the reactions I saw this past week, you're the only one that questioned if that very first subtle bass tone was an 808 or just a smooth first bass pluck with some effects, maybe compression, on it. I thought the same thing, and still don't know which. You're also the only reactor to describe the weird interlude before the hard drop with the word scat!! I've debated with friends in the past, and said I personally feel like that part and after the drop is all like a fusion of beat box and scat set to crazy backing riffs, then super sweet crunchy chords. Gotta be in the top 10 all time epic drops. Anyway, hopefully watching this will get back in the algorithm, if not I'll seek out more reactions of yours. NOTE: Not usually one of those "do this or that song next" guys, but about 6months ago discovered this dude Tobe Nwigwe (Nigeran, pronounced toe-bee en-wig-way), you might have heard of him, but you don't have any reactions on your channel, he is sooooooo what hip hop needs, he's from H town, represents Alief projects, almost went pro in football, career ending injury senior year, ended up homeless for a while, started a ministry working with troubled youth n stuff, started rappin for fun with the kids, and they told him he was better than half the rappers out there. (paraphrased a lot of that) Anyway, his cousin Nel does his beats and his wife wraps in a lot of his songs, he also does occasional performances of his rap songs, with his crew, full band, keyboard, bass, drums, backing singers, it's like a modern version of MTV unplugged, sounds like completely different song, whit same message and lyrics. and when he was comin up he released a freestyle every Sunday for free on RU-vid, for a couple years straight, called them twisted Sundays, That's how I stumbled on him, he just sits on the floor with Fat, his wife, twists his hair. Song is called Tribute to Rakim and Z-ro, I swear I got 3 stacks vibes from that song, and I've heard others say the same. Anyway, not worried about a reaction on him, be dope if ya did, but man I'm telling you, I can think of a reactor, if you've never checked him out, that this artist was made for more than you, so even if its off screen check him out, he's the real deal. ✌️💚

Love it 😍

Also, see the "Falling Away From Me" music video by Korn. It's a direct sequel to this music video and picks up right after the end of this one. Even starts w/ the same animated footage.

4:23 the best reaction have ever seen xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Very good review and pick up on the bass and other unique sounds You got a good ear and curious nature Jay.

Man said "OoOoOoOo" great reacting dude

Should have seen this live when it came out Holy shit that was a show lol

I heard this song live and it's even crazier live. One of the best shows I've seen

Yessir bakersfield, ca.. one of our "local bands" that blew up... also just wanted to say i enjoyed the vid, first vid i've seen from this channel and you seem pretty knowledgeable about music compared to these other reactors, no disrespect to them

One of the Mesa Boogie Rectifier amps, triple rectifier I believe and a mid-boost pedal of some sort is what makes the guitars in the drop, so crunchy and powerful. It is a beautiful thing!

Korn: See You on the other side Album - Open Up , Love Song, the whole freakin album

Check out "Y'all want a single" it's something most won't suggest. But it's a song that probably will have your head bobbing from the gate. And something everyone in the music industry would pick up on and relate to FROM THE START

Wait for it...wait, for, it.... ...hold... THERE IT IS!

4:22 The sound of Nu Metal. That metal sound is a 7 string guitar into a Tube Screamer.

*YEEEESSSS!!! Korn* ❤❤❤

Awesome reaction, that face at 4:24 pure gold, lol. Going to throw out another request for Janes Addiction -- Ocean Size, Coming Down the Mountain, Three Days, Ted Just Admit It, Stop, Nothing Shocking...

I cant help but keep rewinding to the facial expression at 4:24 hahahahaa

Subscribed sir

Other song choices...got the life, falling away from me, coming undone, word up, twisted transistor, can you hear me, shoots and ladders

You need to see Korn live ...

Korn Blind Woodstock ! Nice reaction Peace

Yeah bro .KoRn is no joke 🤘

"is this man spitting voodoo incantations?" LOL

Check out Blind and Clown.

Got The Life

Ahahaha bro I thoroughly enjoyed watching this reaction!🤣 Korn are unreal - listen to children of the Korn it has some serious bass drops - Ice Cube is in it also for some reason 🤣

And this was early 90s , Korn has always been ahead of their time

The DJs in Colorado Springs when I used to delivering Domino's Pizza I've always jammed the radio and the DJ's would say make sure you eat your vegetables hear some Korn.

You should check the follow up video to this called “falling away from me” peace from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Falling away from me next

🤘🏻

I saw them live... tripping on acid... but I'm a huge fan of Korn 😜

Korn Blind is a classic

What a great tune, Korn does some really good stuff! I will WARN YOU, don't get too curious about the origin of the band's name, you may not like what you discover. I saw Korn open for Rob Zombie many years ago in San Diego and it was off the hook! "Spittin' voodoo incantations" LMAO!!!! More stank face too! Great reaction and breakdown, Jonathan Davis is the singer...I would SERIOUSLY suggest doing Got The Life next, thanks!!

That’s the same fabrees I use too. Lol 😂

WELCOME

"voodoo incantations" lmao

Thank face Mang haha.

While I'm glad to see people still discovering Korn, I'm also bummed it's not as popular as it used to be. Some people like to mock Korn nowadays, but they were one of the top bands of the 90s, due to their style of blending Grunge w/ rap style lyrics (at least in some of the later stuff). Their last good song was "Got The Life" from the end of the 90s.

Thank you for koRn, They play 7 string guitars

A.D.I.D.A.S. is classic Korn

Need to listen to the version were he sing freak on a leash with Amy Lee

Plus he's wearing a kilt!

And to think this was like 25 years ago!!!

I think it’s time for another korn reaction sir 😈

Blind LIVE. The anticipation/ build up. Watch the crowd go fkn insane! Great reaction. (pull up the lyrics to the song, if you do a reaction). DADDY is the other one

These guys are very hip hop influenced.

Blind live at woodstock by korn is ultimate insanity. Also try blind guardian - bard song/valhalla live wacken 2016. Best live performance ever

Korn - ADIDAS

I have read all the things that has been said this song is supposed to be about. But music is free to be interpreted to whatever it means to you individually. That being said, I have never seen this song as music...To me it is ART!!! much like Bohemian Rhapsody, Stairway to Heaven, I would do anything for love (but I won't do that), etc .. just my own humble opinion

I want to sound like a broken record Disturbed and Korn 2002 Colorado Springs saw that

#KoRn #Love another amazing KoRn music videos: // Falling Away From Me // Blind // Clown // Somebody Some One // Did My Time // a.d.i.d.a.s // Thougless // You´ll Never Find Me // Y´all Whant a Single // Come Undone // Black Is The Soul // A Diferent World // #KoRn
