I don't play bass but hearing korn is what made a big metal head and want to try and learn it, but now I have severe epilepsy so it would be hard to learn to play bass I think.
@@dillonsronce2583 Will it make it impossible or will you just not be super good at it? Because if it is the latter that is of course a pity, but you might get some joy out of itml. I play the guitar a bit, I have no medical conditions making it harder, but just don't have the time to put in and at some point almost dropped it because I wouldn't ever be what I'd consider 'good'. But I still enjoy just picking up the guitar from time to time and play badly for myself. And it's fine enough for a few easy songs for a drunk audience around a campfire. All I'm trying to say is: Maybe you can still play the bass for your own enjoyment. But I have no clue about your condition, so if it's just plain impossible please ignore the toxic positivity from this particular dumbass on the internet.
or when you finally understand that the main percussion sound of the chorus was never the drums lol. I still remember the day that it clicked.... probably because i became an actual bass player and could understand music better. but i digress lol. it blew my mind.
Well, the first time one of their records didnt debut on the charts was last year, and every video they release still has millions of views instantly. Frankly with all the cardboard cut-out Linkin Park clone shit thats popular in rock right now I wouldnt trust mainstream tastes at all anyway.
Back in 99 I was skating around my local blok and one of my friends played this track from his boombox. I was sold and have been a proud KoRn fan for 24 years now 🤘🔥
Fieldy's bass slapping is legendary now. It's truly iconic. He's a beast on the bass. I believe it's also the only MTV Music Award they have won and it was for Best Music Video. KoRn are amazing, true legends in the industry and looked up to by a LOT of metal bands. They're often referred to as the "Godfather's of Nu-Metal".
When KoRn first broke out, a lot of the members used nicknames instead of their actual names. Their bassist goes by the name Fieldy, and his stuff is very funky. And the bass figures heavily in their music, which has a lot of groove and some hip-hop touches.
I love watching reaction videos to this song, because it's always the same astonished look on their face when the "something takes a part of me" hits. My all time favourite song
Я удивляюсь и даже не верю в это видео. Дело в том что этот клип и эту песню знают даже мои дети 10 лет и 3 года. Как человек которому с виду лет 19-23 не может знать Korn????? Это же пласт истории как можно пройти мимо этого в её возрасти?????
He plays a 5 string bass (Ibanez) down-tuned with the treble and bass pumped all the way up and the mid at 0. You'll get the deep hip-hop bass while still getting the clicks of the strings being hit.
It makes me soooooo damn happy seeing these new generations discovering the music I grew up with & being able to appreciate it the way it's supposed to! And if I'm remembering this correctly, that's bass had more strings, like 5 or so. It was a beast!
Its great seeing the sheer joy you experienced hearing this! They really defined a genre and a whole generation! Albums Korn, Life is Peachy and Issues are required listening 🤘😁
Oh my god, quickly suscribed when I watch you react to the most important song in my life by mi favourite band. I discovered Korn with this back in 1999 (short before their next album, Issues) when this video dropped and I feel in love instantly. They have A LOT of great songs. From Blind to Worst is on its way. Happy 25th anniversary to Follow the leader. PS: this song still sounds fresh, so great, and great McFarlane's video too. PS": other songs: Shoots and ladders, Faget, Got the life, Falling away from me, Make me bad, Somebody someone, Here to stay, Thoughtless, Right now, Did my time, Y'all want a single, Coming undone, Insane, Rotting in vain, Black is the soul, Cold,...
Forgot, 'Twisted Transistor' by Korn. Easy to forget since they muted their music video. So you need to find either fan made vids or listen to the song without a vid.
Korn is amazing. Still putting out good music today! To add to the good, but more common recommendations already suggested you should check out "Play Me" which features NAS. In my opinion it was one of the best rap-metal tracks ever done... Don't know why it doesn't get more attention. Also the bassist "Fieldy" has his own side project called StillWell where he does all kinds of funky bass stuff. You'd definitely enjoy it. He also has one called Fieldy's Dreams, more on the rap side.
I slapped the bassist once when he popped up from below the stage into the crowd next to me and my buddies at Ozzefest. I thought he was gonna kill me lol awesome experience. It was only on his shoulder, but I got the look of doom.
I'm so happy that young people are open minded enough and love music enough to explore it all. I love music and your channel is really exploring some great stuff and I love to see you react. I live about half an hour away from them here in California.
Bassists nickname is "Fieldy", he plays his bass upright most of the time and he kinda slaps the strings to get that sound, almost like the strings are on the brink of being too loose to where they'd be outta tune...they're savages in concert, I've seen em multiple times in Mt. View, Calif at Shoreline Amphitheatre..🤘🏻🇺🇸 #ProudUSArmyCmbtVet
Fieldy’s signature 5 string base is awesome and no can play it like him, slaps the hall out of it, sometimes picks, sometimes just fingers, nobody does it like him!
If you get a chance check out how they tune the guitar and bass! Unbelievable that the instrument can make a sound like that tuned so low! Great song and reaction!
I knew these guys. They are from Bakersfield Calif and my nephew hung out with them, Got to meet them once when they came out to my sisters resort. "Fieldy" was the Bass player
This is why I watch reaction videos. I've heard the bass line in this, quite a number of times, but when you watch someone who is learning bass and loves bass react like this, it makes me really hear that bass, for the first time, and I will never not hear it or take it for granted again, never ever again. Your giddiness when you hear it, your heartbreak when you learn it might be a 5 string bass, I feel your feels. You are so right, without this bass this song would not be as sick, not nearly.
Millieeeee, ya reaccionas en ingles, por fin te volvi a encontrar, ufff korn buenisima banda de los 90's y 00's, los fui a ver en vivo aquí en ciudad de méxico en el foro sol, cuando tenía 14 años, le abrio Linkin Park y Static X😎👌😬fue en 2002 o 2003. Bueno saludos desde Ciudad de México y un abrazote🇲🇽😎
It was 1994 in Australia and I was 15 years old. My mate brought a cd over and says "Listen 2 this, you've never heard anything like it before". So I put in my cd player and Blind comes on, I was blown away!, I went and bought the cd the next day at the music shop a few kays away. Been a fan since that day, I'm now 44 years old and still a massive fan and listen too them all the time. Only seen them once in 2007 in Brisbane with Disturbed and 10 years. Glad you're a fan, Keep rocking!!.
First heard of Korn in a Warehouse Music store when music stores were a thing, and Follow the Leader was the album I was checking out at the time. I remember the guy said there was nothing wrong with the CD because the first 12 tracks were nothing but silence. Lol! I miss those days! I have been a Korn fan ever since. 🤘
Love the hair! 👍 It is one of my favorite songs of Korn, but they have made a lot of very good, even great songs. It opened the door to whole new universe for you, it seems.😀
I am 38 years old and korn was my youth song. I learned how to play the bass because of Feildy. He uses a five string that is tuned down so low that the strings are loose. That is what that wonderful rattling noise you hear is. Thanks for checking them out.
Hasta el dia de hoy ese SONIDO SIGUE SIENDO NUEVO el bateria era con sonido propio las 2 guitarras eran 2 torres el BASS era una locura y la voz de jhonatan
the 90's were the transition from analogic to technological for the masses... i find interesting stuff like music or games or tech or magazines from the 90's all the time, super cool, total unparallel era in that regard
Getting to meet them at Blockbuster Music, prior to The Family Values Tour, was awesome. "Sounds Kind of Random." Hah, thats just because you havent heard Twist yet by Korn.
I remember hearing the Blind intro live and thought I'd been thumped in the chest when it kicked in at the start. listen to the first 3 albums Buy a 5 and tune to A
@mochiteikoku Bass is a 5 string using DR Strings Hi-Def NEON Green 5-String Bass 45 - 125 gauge. Tuning for this song: D standard with drop note. Guitars use 7 string with D standard drop note. Usually their songs are in A standard drop note but there are exceptions. Fieldy does give some online lessons. I think for this song here on RU-vid. Just Google it. Hope this helps and Good luck.
1994 I saw Marilyn Manson, Korn and Danzig in one show in Colorado Springs, CO. I had never heard of MM or Korn before. MM was good for shock rock, but Korn was good for everything. From the first note, they came out and hit everyone hard. When their set was done, no one wanted them to leave. So, I found out everything I could about them.
If you love bass as much as I do, then listen to these tracks- Korn - Goog God, Korn - Alive, Static-X - All These Years, Static-X - Black and White(Cannibal killers-live).
Reginald (Fieldy) Arvizzu is useing a 5 strings Ibanez K5 Bassguitar, And i think is the most epick bassline from him is Korn Got The Life the Shoots And Leaders and the Falling away from me.
So... I'm also a bass player and I can tell you that fieldy as he's known from Korn does what is called slap bass technique and it's not hard to learn but you have to see the greatest Bass player who has ever lived , les claypool watch Primus performing tommy the cat live . This man is the master of slap bass. And this song can be played on a 4 string. I play a b.c. rich warlock platinum series bass and I can play it just fine
If you want to hear some bass check out Metallica Anesthesia Pulling Teeth. You will experience an absolute God on bass in Cliff Burton!! R.I.P.!! The live version is incredible.
Follow The Leader was the first album I ever bought. I was in the seventh grade and preferred rap at the time when a friend showed me their song "Children Of The Korn" which had Ice Cube in it.
