Jonathan Davis is a ridiculously versatile and unique singer. Also, he is not only a brilliant singer but a brilliant producer as well! His layered vocals in almost all Korn song and his solo material is so, so well done and you really can't find any other singer in any other Metal band that layers their voice like that.
Huge KoRn fan, but JD isn't versatile, lol. He's good with the growling, but not versatile. There's about 40 singers above him. I'm not saying he sucks, because he doesn't. He happens to have a distinctive and unique voice in music, he stands out, and that's what I love about JD & KoRn. They're within my top 10 bands.
Jonathan Davis does not get the fucking credit he deserves as a vocalist. He has both a lovely and raw, powerful voice. Idc what anyone says. Criminally underrated and honestly, so is Korn as a band.
Y'all just do yourselves a huge favor and listen to 'In Dark December' on RU-vid. JD is obviously one of his inspirations. Thank me later. Tyler Moffitt is so underrated and NEEDs to be heard, he could surly help a lot of people. Chris Nitta on that channel is also him. He does the drums with his own drums ALL guitar, bass, singing and etc. He mixes and masters and produces. Always supplies fresh new work. Go ahead and show him some love.

I can get on board with this. I always felt like their music was powerful or profound in a way that their contemporaries just weren't. Even if I couldn't necessarily relate to all of JDs lyrics (I've never been raped while my mother watched), they might've been the first group where the instruments alone gave me a release and an avenue to vent my adolescent aggression. I feel they are very underrated and not taken as seriously as some inferior groups in large part due to their fan base and imagery and a relatively common perception amongst people like myself (listened to them religiously through Issues, then forgot they existed) that they peaked in the early 2000s. I didn't even know they were still active until recently so I can't speak on anything after that period. To me though, in an era where every other band was using gimmicks and shocking imagery to stand out, they stood out with their music. They also had some pretty groundbreaking music videos as well.
@@MultiUnreal that might be true if you've listened to like 4 bands. He isn't the greatest but he sure as hell isn't the worst. You don't know anything about the history of rock.
How does he sound so good??...Cause he isn't a Studio Singer..he is the Real deal..even after all these Decades he still sounds the same!!! That shows you how great his voice is.. Like Korn or Not..you have to respect someone who sings and sounds the same as a recording!!..that's Talent!!!

Even today they continue to have unique voices that no one can replicate. Jonathan still has a lot of vocal power while Chino has power in whisper. Neither of them scream like they did in the 90s, though, which is where the "unhinged" comes from, I assume.
@@graymoons14 I am glad Jonathan doesn't scream like in the first 2 albums; fortunately he developed much healthier vocal techniques. His death grows are beautiful!
“I have never heard anything like that” exactly what I said almost 10 years ago when they became my favorite band of all time and they still are. And I STILL have never heard anything like that. Jonathan is so incredible and his voice ages like wine. I know it’s not exactly on topic but I also want to mention what a beautiful person he is too. He is SO sweet. He’s been through so much shit and yet he’s always remained such a beautiful soul… I was fortunate enough to meet Korn a couple times and they are seriously some of the kindest, most genuine and sweet human beings in this world. Actually I think it is on topic because that sensitivity he has is what I believe sets him apart. It’s rare to find a singer that pours that much heart and soul into every single note… but he does. That emotion and the way it comes out of him and what he creates in his music is so powerful and touching beyond words… life altering for me lol. Rare breed in every aspect. I’ll love that dude forever. Amazing video, thank you for shining light on his voice, he really deserves it.
@@Jen-X333 I met Head, Munky, Ray & Fieldy twice, JD only once! He wasn’t there the first time. They’re so sweet and everything I had dreamed they’d be like and way beyond. JD is such an angel. I didn’t have a lot of time to talk to him but I think we sort of communicated non-verbally lol. I had similar experiences to him growing up and Korn was always there for me so it was overwhelming emotionally when I did finally meet him because this guy that has been there for me all these years is in front of me lol. They were standing up on a platform thing and I didn’t realize I was supposed to stand in front of it not also get on it, so I jumped up there and hugged him and told him I loved him 🤣 and he gave me the biggest hug and said he loved me too! He is SO sweet. Most “rockstars” would not do that. I saw him again a little later and he gave me such a huge smile and said “take care darling”. I’ll never forget that. I can tell he really loves the Korn fans a lot. I have to also mention Head though. I wrote him a letter as well and he actually took the time to answer me 😭 And then remembered me two years later. I was 13 (then 15) and he was so loving towards me in a fatherly kind of way. He is an angel as well. And he has such peaceful loving energy about him. I watched his documentary and think I reminded him of his daughter in a few ways based on what I shared in my letter and we’re almost the same age (I think she’s 2 years older). They are amazing people. Ray is also very sweet and super funny. I didn’t get to talk to him or Munky or Fieldy as much otherwise I’d share more. I hope you get to meet them too. I must say their meet & greet prices are extremely affordable especially compared to other bands. That first time I met them it was only like $40 for this after party thing and they just hung around with everyone talking and signing stuff and taking pictures. I’ve also seen them just hanging around after shows a few times. So your chances are high! Sorry I went on for quite a bit there. 🤣 They’re so special to me. I also know it’s nice to hear that your favorite musicians are amazing people so I thought I’d share. Blessings ❤️
Search up iggy pop - open up and bleed (live whiskey a go go) dude was doing this decades before. Especially around the 3:20 mark. Only it obviously isn’t metal since it was 1973. Iggy and the stooges are truly underrated Edit: 3:40 in the iggy track* first time I heard it, my stomach was hurting from imagining how painful that must’ve been for his throat Also - 2:43
Jonathan Davis is amazing, that is why Korn has so many dedicated fans. I have seen them live many times, even when he had covid and he is awesome every time. I can never get tired of their music.
I feel like he is so underrated. His range is incredible and the way he uses his breath, esp in his scatting, is breath taking (buh dum tssss). So glad you're covering him! 💜 The hidden track on LIP... Goosebumps every time, 25 years and counting.

I saw on a forum that his complete vocal range is an A1 - F5 (3 octaves and 8 semi notes, almost close to 4 octaves by 4 semi notes) which seems like a typical vocal range for alt metal singer of his class, but what makes him stand out by most is what he can do with his voice. Jonathan is a master of changing his texture. One part he's sounding raspy, another time clean, some times aggressive and sometimes melancholic. His many voices include the following: The atmospheric melancholic sounding falsettos The breathless yet hostile screams/shrieks The clean high head voice The demented scat/beatbox The fryish creepy/sexy toasting (the act of talking or chanting, usually in a monotone melody, over a rhythm or beat usually famous with DJs) The monstrous death growls The raspy yet melodious flow in his singing The thrash grunts usually when he's trying to make a point
Have you heard his songs that he made in high school? His voice is majestic in his song "Come With Me". And ask me if that sounds like a 14 to 15 year old. Because even back then... His voice was kinda matured. Unless you listen to "What Have I've Done".
I've always loved it when a band delivers on what you hear in their album and they live up to their own standards. When I saw Korn last year it was amazing.
I also love the way Jonathan writes the lyrics. he said that usually when given a melody or jamming with the boys, he makes sounds and syllables that fit in the rythm and then makes lyrics out of it
Honorable Mention: The screaming vocals during the bridge on Falling Away From Me buried in harmonies from the opposite channel and bass cut/mid-treble boost.
He really is one of the best vocalists of all time. I have never heard him do a live show where he didn't sound like he does on the albums. Even with Twist, which most people think he can't do the same every time live, he does sound exactly the same as what the album sounded like. I also love his lyrics, as they are so relatable to me.

I've always been floored by JD's performance of Slept So Long, a song he wrote for the Queen of the Damned soundtrack. he sustains a particularly long note flawlessly towards the end of the song and does it in live performances seemingly effortlessly. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-76okYqKDITo.html
I saw him recently in concert and he was recovering from COVID AND HE WAS FLIPPING AMAZING!!! He had to tell us before we realized he was recovering. HE'S A MASTER VOCALIST!!!
Jonathan Davis is absolutely amazing and has been my favorite vocalist since I discovered that band. KoЯn is, and will always be, my favorite band. The raw emotions in their songs can be so comforting when you need it. Jonathan's vocals are constantly impressive and i appreciate how they sound exactly like their albums live.
Jonathan always manage to pour so many emotions on his singing, thing a lot of singers lack today. You can feel Every bit of Pain, Sadness, grief, hate, and more on his songs. Is truly amazing.
What I like about JD is the fact that he's sounds exactly the same live as in studio. Also, as suggestions, I'd say David Draiman, Ivan Moody and Till Lindemann. These three are on my top five singers

One of the most unique and recognisable voices around, I saw him with korn a couple of weeks ago and what surprised me was the longevity of his voice, it’s still in very good condition

Jonathan to me is the best, how powerful could he be and so melodic at the same time, that´s incredible. check the Cold song to you can hear what he takes to get those growls and screams.

I’ve been a huge fan of Korn and Jonathan’s singing since their first album release. Super powerful songs and he always delivers on vocals, just one of the most raw emotional singers ever. Honestly i can’t believe they’ve lasted so long and keep delivering, thanks guys!
It’s called emotion and learning to use it to channel things that initially seem humanly impossible. Korn is my go to for karaoke and I often sing here to stay, thoughtless, alone I break, I did my time, trash, black is the soul, insane, blind, somebody, and a few more but that’s all I can think of atm
Just saw them a month ago in concert again. I’ve been 21 years. Back in the day I have seen how many of times. Korn is my favorite. I still have their first album that I got when I was about 15 years old only about a year after release and no one really knew who they were. My cousins actually used to hang out with them back then. 🙌🙌

I have been a fan of korn since i was a kid, and i finally got to see them live when i was like 30. It was so amazing. One of the best nights of my life lol.
a lot of us metal singers really sound like our recordings is cause we don't use autotuned we actually put power in our voices to make it sound good especially live and when JD does it, it is flawless
Jon is and always was such an amazing entity in himself, just incredible. He is #1 in all things for me. KoRn is my #1 band and musical heroes hands down.
I've spent the past 25ish years, ever since I saw 'Somebody Someone' on MTV, singing along to them and trying to match his voice as closely as possible. I know I'll never be that good, but it's still my favorite thing to try when singing along to something
I'm loving this channel. I found it because of the Layne Staley coverage. ♥️ Have you covered Chris Cornell from Soundgarden/Audioslave or Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam? Actually they had an amazing band together called Temple of the Dog. You should listen to them in Hunger Strike they hit some great notes.
He did 1 for Eddie (that’s how I found him and I love this channel too) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5hwjrlO12hI.html I’d love to hear more though! May I suggest if a 6 impossible lines for Eddie is done the PJ cover of Love Reign O’er Me should definitely be on that list… Just sayin… 😁 And he also did 2 for Chris! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-64Oec6k5pUM.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fy-tdH1KP34.html
My fav performance of jonathan is the unplugged version of Freak on a leash. You could really hear how sophisticated his sense of melody is, how good his tone his, and how good of a singer he is
In the last one, I feel like his scream was to showcase that of snapping and yelling at someone. He started out soft and emotional with it and then.... BOOOM. His vocal range is insane and is so underrated. Like honestly his voice is just beautiful and terrifying at the same time. You want another one, go with Tatiana Shmalyuck of Jinjer. She is insane as a singer herself
I Hope you going to make a video about Klaus Meine, Bono or David Coverdale because they are all three very very good singers with incredible high and low notes (and because i love their vocals :) )
KoRn? nice. Ive liked theire music since my early teens, follow the leader was one of the first CD's I bought, ive had a very good upbringing and life , but even back then I could instantly tell this shit was sogood, so genuine. To this day parts of the lyrics and tone reveals new levels of struggles I can just imagine. Mad respect for sharing and turning it into this music
That's because JOHNATHAN DAVIS IS THE F***ING MAN!!!!!!! He inventive the experimental vocalizations in music to this day. The first ever to maneuver a metal beat box into a song! He is that raw and unedited as far as his acapella, no voice auto-tune or any of that garbage that the newer less talented scouts have. Fuckin' love Korn, love John as an artist!
KoRn- Freak on a Leash LIVE at CBGB'S. I'm a big Korn fan been listening to Korn for 25 plus years Jonathan's voice cracks and doesn't get the growl out that he should at 3:10 through 3:14
I've been singing his songs since the early 90s and doing it I just love doing it because he's an incredible singer there's no other words I can describe such an awesome being.
One of my all times fave bands and one of the best vocalist ever!! I was 8 when I first heard Korn I am now 32 and still love them!! I've always been so in love with JDevil!
Hell yeah! That’s why I listened to them growing up. They are just an incredible band! That’s always impressing me. Even now I’m going through hard times with mental health issues, I went all the way back to Take a look in the mirror album an listened to it all a few days in a row! I even have a Family Values tour VHS tape of non-stop Korn, you get to see where they came from Bakersfield, California. All the way down to the beer they drank.
I would say the section in “Proud” where he screams why like six times at the intensity of Good God might take the cake for me but yea he’s an amazing vocalist for sure
One of my favourite singer. Jonathan is incredible. I suggest to you Kyo from the band Dir En Grey. The range that he is capable is really impressive when he sings and even when he screams. He make some sound with his voice that are out of this world. His performance in live was bad for a time but as of today he is really great too and stand has one of my favourite singer too.
Check out "proud" by korn. You can even find a clip of him screaming out the bridge in the booth while recording and it is nuts. Definitely not sustainable long term (as JD has switched to a more career sustainable way of screaming) but man was it amazing what he did in the early years
Generally speaking, rock vocalists have some of the best voices in the world, because to dominate grit, rasp and screaming you first gotta understand the basics of normal singing, so you can tell Jonathan Davis is amazing.
that bridge in good god is seriously an insane vocal milestone I remember hearing it for the first time and I was so blown away it was and still is regarded as extremely raw display even today
You gotta listen to the bridge of "Hating" on Untouchables album; I think that is his best vocal performance ever. I am glad you covered his amazing talent already in two videos. He is definitely one of a kind
