LOWKEY BANGER 🎵 Korn Blind Reaction 

Korn has gotten lots of kids through the darkest times in their lives. This song sounds really good turned up in my car. I’m a big Korn fan!

They pulled it off because they created this sound. They pioneered the whole Nu Metal genre really. All the bands back in the 90s and going into the 2000’s where just following their lead. Korn are the true OG’s of Nu Metal.

One of the best intros to an album ever, debut album no less That "are you ready" at the start always goes off in a pit

The hype and intro on this song is INTENSE live. Watch their Woodstock performance to see 200,000 people mosh to this song. Other bangers by Korn are Children of the Korn featuring Ice Cube, Somebody Someone and Freak on a Leash.

Y’all should go through this whole album. The intro to Clown is still one of the funniest song intros ever. Someone in my band quotes that beginning just about every time we are working on writing songs.

Korn's sound centers around using dissonance, meaning harsh and unsettling tones and note combinations to achieve that dark and intense sound. They created this sound entirely.

You shouldn't feel bad about liking a song that opens your mind to other aspects of life even if it's a dark topic it is still enlightening

"It's just this monster riff, and lyrically it's about me feeling that I'm blind to people taking advantage of me, blind to my depression, just blind to everything." - Jonathan Davis

Brad's been digging everything lately, the walls are coming down.

No cap this is one of the best metal intro's ever, that is an intro to announce an entire genre...and it did

I just love Lex's facial expressions. She is so genuine

Loved seeing Brad "boppin" to this one. Note to Brad, it's perfectly fine to jam out to a song, even if the subject matter may be serious.

I think what makes this song so memorable is the atmosphere, like how the very first lyric is *"ARE YOU READY?!"* this is the very first song of Korn's very first album, it's telling you right away that shit's bouta go down. And then going from super quiet in it to super loud, like Korn does, makes it punchier.

Thought I'd share my Korn experience. Back in 94, my two guitarists said we're going to see this new band, you have to come. I had never heard of them. In the car on the way, we listened to the CD and their sound (and ultra low tuning....you could actually hear the bass strings flopping around) is what grabbed my attention. We got to the club (the Limelight in NYC) and you enter and go up to the second floor to pay before being let into the second floor bar. We get there and hear the ride cymbal for the beginning of this song and run for the main room. There's a cat walk that surrounds this club as it's an old church and we take the stairs down to the floor. It's packed so we're stacked up the stairs with my two guitarists in front of me on the first two steps and our singer behind me. It gets to the part and Jonathan Davis growls out "Are you ready?" and we get shoved down the stairs. The guitarist in front had no where to go so he grabs the two shoulders of the guys in front of him and hoists himself into the pit. Needless to say, I went out and bought the CD and listened to it for most of my college days. (in the 90's on the NYC subway so Lex ain't wrong there....except I wasn't a goth...) Nice reaction guys, keep em comin!

Korn, a great band with a harsh story. They invented something new when they came out, huge fan.

MORE EARLY KORN GUYS!! They have such a unique sound and a lot of bangers off their first 3 -4 albums

I always thought it was, "I CAN see, I CAN see I'm going blind." I love this song! 💗

Guys you can't just do this one without watching blind live in woodstock 1999 Its a *must* !

Blind should have been your introduction to Korn not Daddy. Give Shoots and Ladders, Got the life, Twisted transitor, Coming undone, Freak on a leash, and more. Even their covers of the Wall and Cameo's Word up

they pulled it off because they created this sound. they started a whole genre. droptune pioneers

Lex: I’m thinking 90’s, NY subway, gothic vibe Brad: I dont know about all that 😭😭😭

Honestly I think this song and the intro in particular is possibly the greatest "first track" on a debut album. Absolutely immense.

My very first concert was the Family Values ‘98 tour. I was such a math genius think that the shortest point between two point was a straight line, so I went THROUGH Baltimore instead of around it to get to Pittsburgh. We missed Orgy, caught most of Limp Bizcuit, saw all of Rammstein, and banged hard to Korn. I’ve seen em about twice more times since. They are phenomenal live, and I have sprained my back a couple times from head banging through there set. 😂 Too old to do that shot now, though.

JD is a vocal Beast in his own way. What I like the most about him is you really can feel the emotions. Even if Not understanding the lyrics, you still feel despair, anger, etc through his voice

This song, album, and band were so inspirational and relatable to teenage musicians and garage bands in the late 90’s/2000’s. I’m thankful for it and what we got from it. And the JNCO jeans.

Many of my favorite bands I cant remember my first listen. KORN is one of the few where its still clear in my mind, the first time I heard them, who I hang out with and where I was

When I came to America in 97, the metal kids were all wearing braids and large jeans and shirts, I was like what is going on? I later learned this was Korn's style. They entered my life before their music did.

Bakersfield, oil pump, meth shanty, wild dogs, 120 degrees on the worst summer months sound.

Nothing like seeing them in concert and the whole audience screams, "ARE YOU READY!!?"

This girl right here is special and he should thank is lucky stars lol, he is very lucky to have her by his side, love you guys.

This album! EVERY TIME I hear the beginning of this album I get chills. I remember exactly where I was when I heard this. The whole album is bad ass. Yep. Love this. You need to watch Korn Live at Woodstock.

Do A** Itch from Korn next! It is not one most people would request for reaction but is definitely their most frenetic one. Love you guys!

This is the song that made me a KoRn fan, I heard it in Austin, Texas at a record store and asked the owner WTF was that?? That opening riff that teased you is what grabbed my attention. Then when Jonathan came in with the vocal this was the changing of the guard for me in rock music...

clown next! korn is amazing

Lmao!!! Brad, you’re the best. “I don’t know about all that… “ Hahaha!! Me and my best friends saw these guys back in ‘93 at the Fillmore West in San Francisco. They weren’t even on the map yet. They opened the show for Biohazard & House of Pain!! It was pretty awesome. We’d never heard anyone sing like that before. About a year later they became huge!!!

Keep the Korn reactions coming!! They are amazing musicians and their music hits heavy and has zero bullshit lyrics every time.

Timeless masterpiece! Heared it on MTVs Headbangersball around 94 and been a fan instantly and followed them since then!!

Korn is all about the switch ups in their songs! It’s part of why I love them so much!!

God I wish I could go back to when this came out. Such a fantastic time for music. Tool, Pantera, Korn, Type O, Deftones, Rage, Helmet, White Zombie, Alice in Chains, the death of hair bands… it was fantastic

that bass tone is so heavy and funky such a good sound from huntington beach california for 1993

When I caught Korn live the first time, I kept waiting for them to play this song. The whole set was finished, then the encore started and still no Blind. They played it as their very final song and omfg the crowd when absolutely ape-shit at the ARE YOU REAAAADYYYY breakdown!! I moshed so goddamn hard that when all was said and done my body crumpled to the floor and I couldn't get myself back up. Korn brings out the most primal of instincts with its music. It's ugly and beautiful at the same time.

You guys are the best thing on RU-vid. I see songs I grew up with in a new and refreshing light. Thank you sincerely

Korn, in the AM love it!

I love to see Brads growth into getting into rock and metal. Lex has always been there but it makes me happy to see Brad fuck with it more now. Good stuff

I got shot in a drive-by, and that is what made me blind. This song came out around the same time. This used to be my anthem. LMFAO!

The lyrics at the end are actually " I CAN see I'm going blind". Not "I can't see". Meaning that he is aware of the problem he has. "I can see I'm going blind" is intentionally worded that way to make you think, How can you see if you're going blind?

It may have been two years since you did this reaction, but it was wonderful. Brilliant to see others discover songs which were part of my life over 20 years ago. Subbed! Keep it going guys.

This blared out of every car speaker on base for a year when I was a young army grunt..😂 Love this jam. Y'all can't go wrong with this whole album.

Watching ya'll react to one of my all time fav songs just made my day. THANK YOU!

This album changed a Lot when it came out. I knew someone close to the band and heard the album before it was popular and then it was playing between bands at Lollapalooza '94 and more people got into them but when they dropped "Blind" it was over. Listen to "Daddy". They tune down the bass and it adds to the punch of the slap on the low end. Jonathan used to cover 'Black Sheep' and 'Slick Rick' live so he definitely has an old school hip-hop background.

90s...Bakersfield California...me and my friends at their concert at the Fox Theater before they made it big (they're from my hometown). It was great, and this is one of my favorite songs from them. Super-glad that you guys liked it. It's one of my favorite intros to a song...great outro, too.

one of their BEST songs! Check out "Here to Stay" too!

Memories. This was a song my sister started up the pit to when we played our first club show back in 97. Was one of the best shows we ever did.

to this day if I hear "are you ready..." this immediately pops in my head...this band and others like it got me through high school/home life

KORN!!!!!!! One of my favorite bands ever! This band got me through some truly hard times. They are still putting out music that is fantastic.

I’m SO glad you liked this Korn song. I’m a big fan and it’s still my favorite Korn song after all these years 🤘

Korn got the funk for those that need a groove and goes hard for those who need that energy. They are a mount Rushmore metal band. They inspired so many bands.

Brad nails it with the "it's such a tease". After sufficient teasing: "Are you ready?!" ... Jonathan Davis knows what he's doing.

Y'all are my kind of people. Really enjoy what you do.

I absolutely love their song Evolution, I'm obsessed with his vocals in that song

got to see these guys open for ozzy i didn't normally check out opening bands back then i usually just hung out with my friends outside we were at the show never heard of korn before they started their set i looked at my friend and said dude these guys kick ass lets go in. what a show.

KoRn's debut album is one of my all time favorite albums ever from start to finish out of every band I've ever listened to. I first bought it in '94. Every track on this album is outstanding.

I think they have started every concert I have been to with this song. Not sure if its all but I have seen them like 5 times now. ALWAYS sets the show off right

I think I could go as far as to say this single song probably shaped the majority of my musical taste for my life. This one was the game changer that shifted everything. The gateway drug to sincerely amazing hard rock/metal.

FINALLY! Now, watch the 99 Woodstock version of this and experience how they were the ABSOLUTE top of the music world at that time

For years Korn would open their show with this song. When you heard "Are You Ready" ? You knew it was time to go crazy.

This was my song back when it came out. Been a fan every since. Saw them live last Sunday at Pine Knob in Michigan and they kicked ass!!!

Just saw Korn perform this live a couple of weeks ago, it was freaking awesome!!

Korn's little touches of 90s hip-hop make their whole sound unique. That's why you like it Brad, you don't even notice sometimes in the song but there is always a groove in the back that makes this more than just metal music You gotta do the videos whenever possible, it just adds to the vibe, especially with these guys. Just blur them if you get copyright. The Woodstock 99 live version of this is just EPIC! Great reaction.

This song and KoRN were pivotal for me getting through my teen years. Growing up in a farming community dressed in goth attire made me feel very cast aside. Korn was a bunch of weird guys like myself and it really just helped me embrace my unique personality. I went from being a quite weird kid to one who was much more open.

First time I ever saw Korn live they opened with this. Can you imagine that? Standing in that crowd, all hyped up, hearing that restrained percussive opening, the occasional interjection of a jagged guitar and that funky ass bass. The whole crowd is electric with anticipation because we know where this is going and we know what's to be asked of us. Then it builds and builds before Jonathan screams "AAAAAREEEE YOOOOUUUU REEEADDYYYY?!" and then the whole crowd loses our shit. Absolutely immense!

I was 14 years old when this came out. Buddy brought over the cd. Listened to track 1 "blind". I remember screaming after " are you ready!" YES I AM!

Excellent again! Thank you Lex and Brad! That seven sting Ibanez that Munky's rocking with that tuning is amazing! Nice reaction.

Just saw them live in Clarkston, Michigan last night....great show as always!

Ok, I’m gonna say it, I’ve just discovered you guys. Got the day off tomorrow so I ate some really good brownies and smoked a fat cone and decided to surf RU-vid. I am now 2 1/2 hours in and you guys are great. Love your take on this kind of music. It got me through some crazy times being able to just go crazy through the music instead of for real

They're first Hit, a straight up Banger, anything but Lowkey. 🔥🔥

A band that's been making hits like this for 25+ yrs! You've only jus scratched the surface with Korn!

It was in 95 we was at a friends house. His older brother came home from a concert that was headlined by Danzig that featuring marylin Manson and Korn. He had bought a cassette tape and was like u guys gotta check this out. He put it in and a Blind came on! It was like the world came down. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing!! And like that Nu-Metal was created!!

One of the best concert/album intro songs of all time!

Hed pe!! They came out in 93 & still cranking out music today, they also opened for Korn on Korn's 1st major tour. Hed pe is metal, punk music infused with hip hop & sometimes reggae. Songs I suggest are Suffa, Renegade, Ground, Killing Time, Here and Now, Bartender or Blackout. Thx & keep the great reactions coming👊🤟

Love the reaction! You guys are IN IT - and I love it!!!

Blind to the strength within because you're unnaturally overwhelmed so you pick apart your own self and perceived weaknesses. Smile, laugh, and mosh it out!💜

Here to stay...KoRn has been my favorite band for 27yrs now. Beat live show you'll ever see! Love y'all!

I've been ready for a long time you're just teasing me!! 😂😂😂 bro, you had me laughing my ass off!!!

I remember hearing this when it came out. I was like HELL YES ! Still probably my favorite Korn song.

We were NOT ready!!! The hip hop vibes in rock started here. They are the first

That album is 1 of the greatest albums of the 90s, imho.

My first concert was Korn before they became famous in a little bar in Melbourne FL. i was in 6th grade and the bar was called the power station. the ticket cost me 6 bucks. i been a Fan ever since!

The intro is like going up a rollercoaster.. and aree you readyyyyyy is going down

Awesome reaction, I actually saw Brad almost bopping his head to the beat 😉 great band Korn, you definitely need to do more, alot of there music is deep 👌👍

~* gurllll love u...when he ripped that 1st gee tar..that smile ...priceless..❣❣

Love your guys’ reactions! Y’all should keep doin Korn reactions. Great band!

My first introduction to nu-metal one of my favorite Korn songs!

just saw them Live , all korns music has a deep meaning, unbelievable live

Korn h as s always been one of my favorite bands and it's not because they are from my home town. I love the down tuned instruments, and rawness of their music especially the early stuff.

KoRn always had good rhythm too their beats. They feel very hiphop. So you can groove and dance to it. But still hard AF at the same time. Very interesting vibe. Love em'

That entire album (Korn 1994) is great! Thanks for reacting to this! 👍

Korn brought forth the birth of New Metal and ran with it for years. Many tried to match them but none ever did.

Always gonna be my favorite Korn album.

OH fuck yes..they came back to korn?! Please do more. Other dope songs by them off the top of my head: "it's on", "reclaim my place", "BBK", "ADIDAS", "Got the life" and "Twisted Transistor".
