It's interesting how an artist like Childish Gambino can release an abrasive video like This is America and people go crazy about the art and message in the video, but when a band like Korn releases a music video with an abrasive message people are just disgusted and ignore the message.
Jordan Cardona This is American is Probably one of Donald's Worst Songs.
Jordan Cardona That's cause people only like it if the music itself sounds polished
That’s because it sounds happy and cool
instead of dark angry and loud
To be fair, that video has great cinematography and the message is clear and easy to understand for most. I look at music videos just like how I look at film so to me, This is America is a better shot film and a better written film than most of Korn's music videos. Most metal music videos are not great from a film and artistic stand point. Specially since most are just bands playing their instruments.
It's the media who pushed this is America to were it is right now.
If only they knew what Jonathan Davis went through as a kid, they'll probably understand better what Korn goes for with their lyrics.
True, Maybe pushing for a few seconds of "Daddy" and how his early life developed his career
Broken music by broken kids for broken kids.
I think his biggest issue is that he is still stuck in high school. He was molested, yes. But maybe he should get over it. You never get anywhere in life living in the past.
@@666gorewhore you don't "get over it" ever , you moving on with life , have good times and bad but it is always there , may not think about it day to day but still there , rape is the ultimate violation , the helplessness is so real , I suggest you STFU because you know nothing about it , understand !
True
I'm not the biggest korn fan but I fully get why they have such a solid fan base. Is because they confronted what was ignored by society as a whole. You'll have artist who have mentioned things. But korn just beats you down consistently with it. Once I got into heavier metal korn is just the surface of the Mariana trench of metal lyrics.
megaman exe Was the pun intended?
Zacchaeus yes
But rare is a song that has the emotional gut punch that Daddy has (in any genre)!
@@mrconfusion87 because it is absolutely REAL
I dont think Id ever gotten into Grindcore and Noisecore if it wasnt for the darkness and nastybess in Korn's music
Imagine if they showed them the song daddy.
I was surprised they didn't
Sebastián Marelli same.
That's one of those you need to be prepared for.
fuck.
@@grifballa yeah. I was not not expecting that when I first heard it.
In my experience, baby boomers are a lot easier to offend than millennials.
pergproductions they both get offended by almost totally opposite things. Be a Gen x’er, nothing offends us
pergproductions In my opinion, they both can be offended fairly easily, but it can be said for most generations under the rigth context.
Pickaxe III nahh gen Z is better
God satan gen z? Nah shit music and take offence to everything. Dreadful generation
Pickaxe III The oldest of use are 18 dude . They have no moral compass so there is nothing to get offended at .
Though i’ll agree the music they listen too is shit
Reactions to Reactions seem like a moronic idea, but you make it work congrats
It is moronic, because reaction videos in general take 0 creative skill and talent. Here, Mike gives us a bit of his music expertise, which makes it worthwhile.
That's why I discovered this channel so late.
I always saw Mike suggested but I was like "who's this moron reacting to reaction videos?"
One day I clicked; probably because I was bored and damn I'm happy I did
@Designated Hessian doing better than your channel asshole lol
Designated Shitposter yeah fr no one cares about Spyro 2
That's precisely why I thumbs down all of this punk's garbage uploads. Cancer.
I see your 27 minutes like Kirk see a Wah Pedal
you mean, with your eyes?
Stathis WITH MY SOUL
So you see it clearly but don't know what it is good for..
xd
D. Draber i never realized how weird xd looks when it isn’t capitalized
React to Daddy (Korn song) dude if you haven’t heard the song your in for a hell of a ride!!
I sat on the couch staring at the wall thinking how fucked up that song is
Geeky Metalhead what's it about???
Paras Chopra listen to the song then look up the meaning
^ THIS!
Paras Chopra There is no way to answer this.. Its one of those songs that you just have to experience and i can guarantee that you will never forget where you were and how you felt after you heard that song for the first time
Musically I'm also not a huge Korn fan, but I find Jonathan Davis' emotion to be very genuine. Which is why he won't perform "Daddy" live (aside from very specific times), because he wouldn't be able to genuinely recreate the emotion in that song. So I respect the artistic value of that.
Great reaction! I love your responses to the stereotypical commentary haha.
he did play it live once, broke down into tears.
That and he, understandably, has a mental breakdown every time he sings the song.
Iv seen him perform this song once, he broke down towards the end of the song and threw the microphone on the ground and walked off.
@@fernandosepulveda4962 Yeah! I notice the band takes breaks after Daddy is played (to allow Jon to regain composure first before he returns to stage)!
KoRn is definitely one of my favorite bands... and it’s not because of their music videos or visuals for me it is their passion about their music and their message
I agree
100%
You can tell when Mike is getting passionate when the cam show him entirely at the begining, and then you cant see his right shoulder at the end. #tablephysicalharrasment
Music is subjective for everyone. I'm a big Korn fan for my own reasons. I think it's cool that even though they're not really your taste you still take time to understand/respect it for others.
Also, the original video continues to show that not a lot of folks (especially our older generation) can stay objective with true meaning behind music, lyrics and visuals.
Anyways, rock on Mike. 🤘🏻
Couple more things... They used to be drug addicts, but all of them have been in recovery for quite a few years.
Also, even though I'm a Korn fan, and the music does get me moving, I take the time to get deeper with it. For them, it's obviously more lyrical. I do that with all the bands I listen to though, and it's one of the reasons why I like watching your channel and other reaction channels.
Sums my father up.. 100% agreed. I love korn as well
"Get them into S&M" - Mike The Music Snob, 2018 XD
I guess not a lot of people in the comments know what that means xD
I completely lost my shit when he said that! I had to stop the video for a good 5 minutes until I could regain my composure LMAO!
Lisa M. Altemose i was like "wait what?" and then went 5 seconds back and I was like "fuck yeah hahaha"
MetalikaPozni I got it right away lol when he paused after saying that just made it better (or is it worse? Lol) I love this channel!
Someone has to make that into a GIF too
Jonathan Davis on KoRn being classified as Metal (from Blabbermouth)
"I've always had a problem with the term 'metal.' We never were that. I mean, just go back to the beginning when KORN started out. We came out of Huntington Beach, California, and they didn't know what to do with us. The first tour we went out was with BIOHAZARD and HOUSE OF PAIN. Second one was, I think, SICK OF IT ALL, ORANGE 9MM and us, and then we went out with, like, KMFDM. And we played shows with NO DOUBT, CADILLAC TRAMPS and PENNYWISE, and just stuck us all over the place. So I think that we went out and did all that stuff, and it seems like the metal community took us in. We were like the black sheep - we had no place to really go - and I really appreciate and I love the metal community. But as far as us being a metal band, a metal band, to me, is, like, JUDAS PRIEST or IRON MAIDEN - that's a metal band. I don't think KORN does that. I know it's something we do that's different. But I love the scene and there's some passionate people in it- really diehard fans. They don't care. If they don't like what you're doing, they'll let you know it, and I respect that about them and that scene."
"I think we're just heavy rock. I mean, I don't like categories, period, but we're more of a heavy rock band than just straight metal. I'm coming from when metal was, like I said, PRIEST and that era… DIO and those [bands]… singing about swords and dragons, and I love that. You know what I mean? To me, that was real metal music, and I love it. Don't get me wrong. But when it comes all down to it, it's music, and who cares what the hell it is? If you like it, you like it; if you don't, you don't. At the end of the day, that's all that matters."
I don’t remember what interview this next quote was from, but he also stated “I always thought we were more of a Funk band”
Matt Cantu #darkfunk
Bahahahahahaha! Well they aren't a fucking funk band. Listen to funk and then listen to Korn. Funk is "Play that Funky Music White Boy"...It sounds HAPPY. I have never heard a depressing funk song in my life.
They're funk metal.
@@666gorewhore Then you’ve never listened to funk.
They are pretty funky but they are metal too whatever they were trying to be...they made it metal. Dude, Korn are awesome. The most posers hate them, more i like em
27 minutes??!?!?! i need a snack!
Mike is a snack
Sorry Korn is metal dude. And not just an important metal band but an important band in music in general
Kyle Strange he dident say they werent metal
Christoffer Olsen he did somewhere 3 minutes in.
i dont he meant it that way, hes not an elitists
Nu-metal*
@@splaygum8554 no he didn't.
“I listen to good music” that is unfair to say mike...
He really is a music snob
5:55 maybe it's because KoRn isn't trying to be death metal
True, I like Mike but I think it's just stupid to compare Korn to death metal bands
I usually don't get why people get obsessed over certain bands, but KoRn has been the first metal band I fell in love with. Still love them to this day
I do NOT underestand the whole Emo wave of the mid-to-late 2000s! I actually blame them for hard rock/metal losing their mainstream street cred tbh! 🤦♂️🤦♀️
@@mrconfusion87 but emo's still had girls in their crowds. Lots of them. Modern metal and Djent are all sausagefests.
14:59 You bring up a pretty interesting thought. I think that in their generation, the outlet for angst was possibly classical music/opera. Obviously these elders weren't around in the 18th century but classical music was still pretty prominant in their time and was the outlet for a lot of angst back in the day. Mostly using harsh, loud vocal chops and word painting with eerie sounding chords. Gerald Barry, an irish composer was known for his absolute insanity in his compositions. And even more mainstream composers such as bach would use dark imagery in their music. Not to mention that classical music gets very commonly compared to metal in a lot of ways. And if you want to take a little more modern approach, Elvis was known as the BIG rebel who didn't conform and parents in the 50's - 60's said it was "the devil's music." Now we repeat the cycle in 2018 with modern metal and rap. Idk, it's my thoughts. Would love to hear your response - Red Wolf.
dang.... classical and opera ? How old are these people ? (I didn't watch) Are you forgetting jazz and post-modern composers? There was a lot of crazy 'rebellious' 'forbidden' music long before rock came along. Dirty blues, ragtime, vaudeville, burlesque.
"I listen to good music" **makes videos of pop punk**
Peep didn't deserve Xanax
He was making fun of the genre...
Because pop punk is trash
@@brodieondasidewalk Nah son, Pop-punk is a great genre.
Phantom Thief after 9 months, I can now agree with you, father.
KoRn was groundbreaking in the late 90s. It was nothing but grunge and pop rock and they crushed those boundaries and brought us something between that and guitar heavy metal riffs(which I wasn't into at the time and helped bridge the gap to other bands)They were in your face and gritty and dark. It was exactly what I needed.
I think you don't like Korn, because you have such a "mathematical" approach of music. It hit me when you started talking about the lyrics as to how their sound was pleasing or not. I'll make a comparison to painting to try to explain better. As I understand, you are more of a Prog metalhead and from what I've seen, you put a lot of thought into the "aesthetics" and the technicality of the songs you listen to, like, the more technical the better (Correct me if I'm wrong!). This makes me think of classical painters who used Mathematics formula to determine what was the most "pleasing" proportions for a body and architecture etc. If let's say, Dream Theater would be compared to Michelangelo because of how technically good they are, Korn would be more of a Francis Bacon. The forms are grotesques, tortured, and are not beautiful at all but express a deep suffering. Likewise, Korn puts (or at least used to put) emphasis on ambiance and the expression of a deep suffering (a big recurring theme of nu metal bands I like). They do not aim for technicality but more on raw emotion!
Damn man, that's a great way of putting it.
Agreed! I like things music theory but I do agree that KoRn should be seen from a 'raw emotion' perspective instead of a logical, pseudo-mathematical one.
Besides, KoRn's music, if you listen to all the little parts, is way more complex than people think - there is a lot of intricate rhythms and nice dissonant chords and intervals going on.
So what you’re saying is, he should apologize for having a different opinion to you. Noted.
@@jamesedleymusic Oh geez yeah! How dare this guy have a different opinion? You know, I just had to get out of my way to point out his wrongness, just can't help it. Not to perhaps give him the keys to listen to a band in a different way so that he might enjoy them, but to show how I'm such an Alpha Male chad who can say what is right and what is wrong! Now bugger off before I tell you to listen to Animals as leaders because they are so good!
Arktos Nah, I’m sure he’s just going to listen to music his way rather than the way some random RUclips commenter told him to.
Best thing i like about koяn is that Roberts Trujillo kiddo, whos about 14 years old was playing bass in at least some part of their last tour.
That's actually super cool. Didn't know that.
Become The Knight someone knows something about metal more than Mike the music snob. Feeling kinda special.
he was actually 12 at the time he toured with them.
I talked to his cousin...also named Robert. He was arranging to have his John Deere tractor delivered. He wanted to make sure he meet them at the end of the driveway as the ranch is hard to find. He was hilarious to talk to.
Korn created a completely different genre of metal. Jonathan's way of singing, all the emotions he put into the songs and the lyrics were the things that made a huge statement. They were original and people could relate to their experiences. That's what makea them great artists.
Well not obsessive, I’ll admit that I really enjoy Korn (when it includes Brian Welch, self-titled to Take A Look In The Mirror and then Serenity of Suffering) their sound always intrigued me and have to admit simple, yes, but does it make it bad? No, they clearly have a passion for music and it reached many, I mainly just listen for the instrumentals, they’re lyrically interesting and I admittedly love Fieldy on the bass, not the best but i love his tone and way of playing, he’s simple but fits in so well and managed to stick out which not many bassists In nu-metal do, also was one my early inspirations for picking up bass alongside Tim Commerford.
Not for everyone, but certainly should be recognised for making something unique a lot of people were drawn to.
I went on for too long for no reason and I apologise
mike: I don't like korn but I don't hate korn
Me: why am I glad that he hates korn and I like korn
"the tone is almost annoying"
yeah. Thats the point. I understand that you only understand things that can be broken down to a formula but the reason people like korn is that they have a specific approach at unsettling music.
Phobos Maelstrom if you want to listen to unsettling music wouldn’t you go to Noise rock or industrial rock like Daughters, Neurosis or some other band like that? Nu Metal never seemed very unsettling to me.
I mean dude,there are no fucking mids in fieldy's tone,the only reason that works is cuz the guitars are mostly mids.
@@jakeybball early korn is pretty dark and unsettling, their first 2 albums are good examples
20:25 alright take notes everybody. The test is on next friday
I love the "im kind of a singer too, so i know what im talking about. More so than the guy from Korn who has sold millions of albums." Its fine to have an opinion, but that shit always made me laugh.
"Untouchables" is by far their best album. Best mix of heavy and melodic. And catchiest
Hollow Life on that album is very underrated song!
We need elders & teens reacting to Opeth, Meshuggah, Dream Theater, Slayer, Power Trip, Judas Priest, Pantera, Rob Zombie, Cannibal Corpse, Death, Obituary
Paras Chopra hater
Paras Chopra these elders haven't reacted to any death, black, or thrash metal yet, yea they may not like it but some of the shit they say is funny, if we can get them to like at least 1 of those bands then that'll be an accomplishment
Judas Priest are elders.
Alrighty guys, it’s raid time! To everyone who reads this, please go onto every new FBE video and post the following comments:
KIDS REACT TO DREAM THEATER!!!
ELDERS REACT TO OPETH!!!
yessssss
*Sees the video is 27 minutes long*
Oh I think I'm in for a ride
When you look at certain Korn songs like Daddy, they showed how deep they really could be. It's really disturbing and hearing the emotional breakdown at the end just rips your heart out.
Hahaha that has to be the most honest reason for putting in ad before your video XD love your stuff Mike!
Mike in the beginning :"I don't hate Korn"
What I think after the video :
Mike hates Korn
Yeah
He said no composition mastery came out off Korn even though, Korn invented Nu metal
Ya :(
and Nu-metal was never about compositional mastery
You are the only person on youtube that I'd watch doing a reaction video. Focking love your input
I actually love korn the sound is nice and the rhythm is great and jonothan davis vocals and head’s guitar is amazing but this video is amazing
ARE YOUU REEEADDYY!??!?
* *BLAST THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE THEME SONG* *
Nice Bone Thugs-n' Harmony hat my dude!
Got it at their live show. Only regret, no Wish or Bizzie
216 is the house. I use to by weed a few houses down from them before they hit it big lol. 3 skinny ass 16 year old white boys in a broken down 85 cutlass in the heart of the hood buying weed. how we never got jumped or arrested or killed I have no idea.
Bone Thugs are my favorite rap group ever.
Korn is awesome you should definitely listen to more of them
Korn are a cool band that everyone (almost) likes jamming to. They are nice guys. Like, yeah they aren't amazingly good but it's catchy. Why not supporting them? :D
Yo let’s be real, Don isn’t very open minded and all. He’s very set in his ways in most of the videos he’s in and I don’t see him changing for the better any time soon.
Okay you say that KoRn is garbage because they have weird sounds and a interesting groove but, What about Tool they had weird sounds and cool grooves.
Vengeance_Falls_96 One has guitar solos and non-angst lyrics and not a guilty pleasure, the other still spew edgy lyrics, a somehow more annoying fan base and realease more albums
Mackey Asshole
- Both have very dark lyrics which can be described edgy
- Technically anything can be a guilty pleasure
- Lesser albums doesn’t mean anything
- I agree that nu metal fans can be more annoying but thats irrelevant to this argument
- Tool > Korn but the only valid point you made was the guitar solos
Mason 11 i don’t get how dark lyrics = edgy
TeamAtFort The last guy called them edgy, so I just went with his language. Korn isn’t really edgy imo but many fans can be
He never said it was garbage
16:35...exactly, theyve sold over 35 million records and had 2 #1 albums...after metal was "dead". you have to respect that
MY TEARS DON’T FALL
I eat them for sustenance
Hayden Saul Malina, nice 👍
Rotting In Vain is my favorite from their newer songs
Jan fredrik Svensson same
The scatting part is really catchy.
Korn's a great gateway band. They will always have a special place in my heart
To be fair, Jon Davis himself doesn't think that Korn are a metal band. For what that is worth.
I gotta say even if I don't watch your videos right when they come out, I enjoy your videos because I enjoy listening to your opinions and little rants and it is nice to see and hear someone talking about music and being educated in music, knowing what they are talking about and being open to things but honest. Keep it up we need people like you in the music part of RUclips
I would have supported the lefty snowflake jokes. I shall now brace myself for an onslaught of keyboard warriors
It's the emotion in Korn's music that connects with their fans. I've been a fan ever since I heard them for the first time.
Love the video as always Mike! Great input and super funny and interesting. Keep up the great work my man :)
I just spent 5 hours watching your videos, I love your channel 😁 ❤️
I love Korn! Saw them last year :)
Korn do have some of the best videos, Here to stay was probably their best. Its great they went platinum even if you're not a fan, Jonathan has lived a dark life and you hear it in the lyrics and they know how to perform!
Fuck yea. This video came out on my birthday!!! Thanks Mike🤘 much love ❤️
This is the one of the only "ads" from someone that is usefull for me. Thnx Mike for real tough
I thought his darkest song was Daddy he legitimately has a nervous breakdown at the end of the song talking about how he was sexually abused as a child.
I was shocked when I first heard it. I didn't even know what I had just listen to.
@@kuromyou7969 when he was a child he was sexually abused by a family friend who was a babysitter for him and when he told his parents they didn't believe him. Makes you really understand why a lot of Jonathan Davis's music comes from for him his music is therapy.
I think Korn’s album “Issues” is a decent album to sit down and listen to and think deeply about.
I think Issues is my favourite album. I find myself keep coming back to it.
Issues is my second favorite KoRn album after the Self-Titled Debut! It was around this time I started getting into KoRn as well!
I love that you actually take the time to talk about what the Elders are saying instead of just watching the video like other people. Love your work!
I love how you formulate your analysis on these bands and reacting to how these people react. It’s fucking awesome how much I agree with pretty much everything you say. From tactics to getting people into metal to your opinions on everything and wanting to make RUclips Poops! God, you’re so fucking awesome. ROCK ON! \m/
Korn actually has a lot of finesse in the drums (in their older Albums). Their former drummer David Silveria was really great !
Korns always been one of my favourite bands and Im not a nu metal fan usually. But I appreciate you having a difference of opinion. I just adore Jon Davis
mike your one of my favorite youtubers thank you for amazing content and ads lol
I found this channel a little while ago and I truly enjoy the whole premise of the channel. I respect his opinions and I also respect that he respects other people’s opinions.
C'mon you broke my heart a bit man, I love the track Blind and I honestly always specifically liked the way Davis performed and sung it
GUITAREEEE....oh wait
sup, what happened to eric bro?
BonEs The Creator Well, he and Donna eventually got married and moved to friggin Europe and have a bunch of kids. They come home 5 times a year cuz Donna makes a whole lotta money aaand he isn t bald yet, surprisingly
back at it again, with the fine brothers.
I genuinely love you man
Thanks Distrokid, now I can add the Pop Punk Died song to my spicy maymay playlist
Imma place it right after “High School Blink-193” by Pink Guy
I actually like korn....(older korn more so than the newer korn)
Isaac Schrum Life is Peachy was my fave
Older Korn was darker which I liked more.
The First Five albums are what I dub "Classic KoRn"! That will be the KoRn future generations will dig if/when they get into them! 😁🤘🍻
Wondered when this would come out. I love these for some reason.
It's good to see u react again to Fine Bros !
Korn is one of those bands that I listen to passively, if it's on in the car I'll listen to it but I don't go out of my way to listen to them. I do have to give Jonathan some respect though for the song Daddy, not on a music level but for putting his own pain and experience from something horrible and letting others know who went through something similar that they're not alone. I went through something similar and when I heard my brother listening to that album for the first time when I was around 14/15 and heard that song I broke down completely. It did hurt hearing something hit so close to home but it was also a release that I didn't know I needed. It also pushed me to actually tell my mom what happened to me years before.
The rule 34 comment made me laugh so hard dude omfg I hadn't picked up on that
Seen Korn 4 times live and they were amongst the best lives I've seen.
I thought you weren't going to do another one of these? Either way, I'm happy to see another lol Thanks!
For those of you who dont know...
Rule 34: if it exists... theres porn for it
MattTravis rule 34 of rule 34
meta ?
Is there anybody that doesn’t know that
Sorry, I was just saying that you don’t really need to tell people about rule 34 and that most people know about it. I wasn’t trying to be a dick or be passive-aggressive or anything
Me.
I've now watched Mike's reactions to elders react to Korn and Slipknot, and Teens react to Linkin Park. While Linkin Park is my personal favorite of the three because they were the bridge into heavier music for me it still blows my mind that of the three the only one that I've seen Mike genuinely like is Linkin Park. Most people in the metal community I've ever met despise Linkin Park but somewhat are okay with Korn and Slipknot..................strange?
Cuz Linkin Park is a bit too poppy for them!
Hello, Mike. Ive been wanting to know. What do you think of Primus?
I saw Korn play live at download 2018 Australia. My mate dragged me right up to the front of the barricade, and I moshed for the first time ever! The lyrics of Falling Away From Me ("beating me down") naturally occurring in the mosh was nuts! I must agree though, it is a whole different experience being tossed around to Korn than putting their CD on in the car, sitting idly in traffic.
Great video!
I knew the second Mike said Fieldy's bass was grinding his gears, I knew there was no hope. Korn's sound is almost entirely tied to the very percussive rhythm between Fieldy and Silveria. It holds everything together. If you can't get into that, then you're not going to like Korn at all.
Jonathan Davis “didn’t say we’re all going to die” he said “what if I should die?”
Also Jonathan Davis also says that KoRn aren’t really Metal he says they’re more on the funk side
this is why i subbed to you and am a patreon. your view on the music industry and what matters in music and what is wrong with music is just so fucking on point and i just can never disagree with you on those topics even though i dont know nearly as much as you about music theory or like production, compositions and arrangements and stuff. you are by far the best music youtuber and general youtuber i know. to bad i live in europe, id love to meet you someday and just talk about music all day.
I know someone said something similar, I love that even though you don’t like a band, you find something nice to say. Have it be what they contributed and things like that.
Korn is one of those bands if you had only just heard their singles you would think they are alright but when you dive into their records especially their first 5 albums you start finding real gems and moments in them that make them go from alright to one of the greatest bands of all time.
True! If/when future generations of kids are gonna dig KoRn, it will most likely be the First Five albums they will talk about! I was talking about this with a woman I went out with recently, and she agreed with me on this one! IF/when I get a vinyl player and start collecting records, KoRn's First Five will be among them! 😁🤘🍻
I tried but I only like Freak On A Leash
Can we please get a discord?
Totally not No One yes
Mike is the best in reaction videos, he's so honest and kind.
Hey It wa long time! Good to see you back
Aaarrre Yooou REEEEEAAAADY!!!!!
Jeremy Hayes to be honest, im not ready
UGSDIT no one gives a shit if your not ready
Jonathan Coria its a joke dude its not that serious
UGSDIT it was a joke too
How do you feel about Rage Against The Machine?
Thank you! Like you, I don't pay attention to lyrics, I listen for the sound of the lyrics to complement and enhance the music. So many have dissed me because I don't know lyrics to songs.
Haly shit i was waiting you to react this.Great video.
I suppose in general, Korn is darker than Pantera, but there are instances where Pantera gets very dark. Songs like The Sleep, Hollow, Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks, Shedding Skin, Throes of Rejection, and the entirety of The Great Southern Trendkill, one up Korn in terms of creating despair and desolation through the tone and lyricism. I mean, how do you not listen to Suicide Note Part 1 & 2 and not gain a thousand yard stare afterward.
Zach Ritchie I don’t know dude… listen to daddy by korn, that’s hands down the hardest song to listen to that I know of
I'm not big on Korn either but I will say that their lyricism is pretty decent and the drumming is the key part to their songs cause it's heavily reliant on the insatiability within the drumming to built up the angst for the release later in their songs so in a way it is good composition and Freak on a Leash is an example of the drumming causing heavy angst.
Hey Mike,
Great content man. This was the first video of yours I saw and then subscribed after checking some of your other videos.
Seems you understand why Korn has a fan base, but as a self admitted prog head it probably won't ever engage you in the same way it has others. Respectable man.
I think much like the Seattle Grunge movement, NuMetal came along at the right time for a lot of youth, and these guys kicked down the door for a lot of other bands. They've been able to stick around without proving themselves to be a bunch of asses like Durst haha. You might have missed the boat on that but for a lot of people (myself included) it started with Korn. Their rudimentary groove section inspired me to pick up a bass guitar to begin with, and entering into the prog world greatly expanded my palette. Also heard your experience with depression and how music helped you, same here man. I owe a lot to this band and although the songs aren't heavy in my playlist these days I will continue to support them.
And if ever you do get a chance to see them live I highly recommend it. The simplistic grooves carry well over huge speakers without turning into a complicated mess and it just taps into something animalistic haha.
Great stuff man, looking forward to more content from you.
