Korn wasn't just a band for kids with long hair, it was a band for kids everywhere who needed a place to channel anger. This band literally kept me sane and saved my life.
Just finished a documentary on HBO about this music festival. They had Jonathan Davis on and he said that he went as hard as he possibly could for the entire set and when he walked off stage he laid down on the ground and people had to put ice bags over him to cool him down. Legendary musician. Legendary band.
I wish younger people could have experienced just how fucking unique Korn was compared to everything else at the time, even in a decade where a ton of interesting unique shit was coming out.
Yeah it's really hard for kids who didn't grow up listening to them or were born after their heyday to really grasp but just how revolutionary they were. At the time that they really hit big, you still had some holdouts from '80s hair metal, grunge was really big, hardcore punk was somewhat a thing although more underground. I was born in 86 and grew up listening to hair metal and grunge. I wanted something heavier so while hardcore punk with artists like Earth Crisis kind of scratched that itch, everything in the genre sounded the same. When I first heard Korn I was blown away. It was heavy. It was dark. It was angsty. It was angry. Most importantly it was unique and fresh. A decent comparison would be looking at the original Star wars back in 1977. Nowadays the special effects and cinematography still hold up decently well but obviously can't hold a candle to what we have now but if you look at it in the context of the day, it was 10 years ahead of everything else and partly the reason why it became such a cultural phenomenon, because of the context surrounding when it came up.
@@FIDEL_CASHFLOW_ I was born in 96 and have been listening to them since about 2000 when my dad showed them to me so I kinda remember the old days but wasn't fully there. I am forever jealous of people a decade older than me lol
@@deadroses19 There isn't a lot of note clarity in the music. It's a term that guitarists use a lot to describe a guitar tone when the distorted guitar doesn't hold a lot of note definition and sounds...muddy. It was because of the times, the downtuned guitar and copious amounts of gain. We hadn't learned quite yet on how to EQ and mix things for those lower tunings like we do now. You can listen to a song now that is a full octave lower than what Korn tunes to but hear better note definition in the riffs.
@@SavedbyGraceAlone84 That’s interesting, I had already noticed that but I never thought people looked into that. Guitars on korn songs on their early records often sound kinda weak, comparing to slipknot or other nu metal bands. Still I don’t think it affects the album that much
@@johnd3124 even if it is "muddy", it's PERFECT. Goes hand in hand with the raw, balls to the walls intense as shit sound. New recordings are so "perfect" now they're sterile sounding, and in the end, just sucks. I'll take muddy over perfect Any day.
when i was younger this was by far my favorite korn song. I used to mow my lawn for my gramps and i would listen to this on headphones on repeat for hours while i shredded that grass lol
Love munky and heads guitar work. So simple yet spooky. They came at a time when you thought the guitar didnt have any new directions left in it. Along came these weird ass dimented 7 string sounds. Underrated.
I barely even know who Korn was back in 1999. There were so many people at Woodstock, and yes there was chaos, especially at the last day they had a mini riot. But now I know who Korn is, I've probably seen them more than any other band.
It just amazes me at how they sound good live. They are jumping all around and it looks like they're going crazy but the notes and all of it... it's perfect
2:46 I saw this clip of the performance before I really even knew about korn, and I swear I thought he was saying “Why’d you get the book out of my barn, now” 😂
i was at both the 94 and 99, you will think im lying to but idk.. I know i was tere and i will remeber it for the rest of my life , and will think about tho's 2 fucking insane days of some of the greatest music .. On my death bed..
+Rickey Ryan I was there but in so much acid shrooms and others stuff it was a big blend I remember those flags draped on side of stage fucking with me so bad!lol
This band....man this band has gotten me through it all like this is more than a band this band is so special to me and it always will be thank you guys for all the help
Funny how back then when I felt like a misfit I felt like KoRn knew how to ease the pain and today I’m back here listening to this and feeling the same way!

Those pinch harmonics Head is doing throughout the verse riff is hard to hit every time with that clarity. He's playing it like it's nothing. It's not hard to hit a pinch harmonic and make it sound like a pinch harmic. It is hard to hit them over and over again without making one sound muted. It's hovering your finger over the actual fret on the guitar and putting on a tiny bit of pressure. Van Halen did these a lot. Just thought I'd comment for all the people who think Brian and James aren't genuinely talented guitarists. I play guitar so I know.
