Got The Life - The Korn Story ┃ Documentary

- Опубликовано: 24 фев 2022
- On October 11, 1994, 5 outcasts from Bakersfield, California released one of the most important albums of the 20th century. Their self-titled debut record which was released via independent Los Angeles label Immortal, would come to be seen by many as the birth of Nu-Metal.
Korn would be considered as the pioneers of a genre that dominated tv screens and radio waves for over a decade. A genre that would also give birth to bands such as Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and Deftones.
From high school drop-outs to born-again Christians, Korn have become an iconic influence in the world of Heavy Metal and this is their story.
Jonathan Davis was born January 18, 1971, in Bakersfield, California. And his childhood would be that of any typically neglected one. His father, Rick Davis, a keyboard player for Frank Zappa, and his mother, Holly Marie, who was an aspiring actress & dancer, both seemed to be more interested in chasing their own dreams of becoming stars on the big stage as opposed to providing a stable environment to raise Jonathan, who also had sister and two other step siblings.

The first time I heard “ARE YOU READY!!!” come through my buddy’s speakers is a moment that is burned into my mind and soul forever. Awesome memory 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Exactly same for me 🎸🤘Legendary
first time I heard it was at the end of the Street Fighter 2 Anime.
Yeah, I still get chills when that comes across my speakers. Now a middle aged dad, I get a laugh about it but it still hits hard.
Same...80s Cutlass..senior year...subs in the back, and he hits play. He went on to get huge with steroids and ended up running a nutrition store for years in a mall.
@@adamfrbs9259 sounds like a time when the American dream was real!
The first words people heard from Korn were, “ARE YOU READY!!”
I don’t think people were but the world adjusted accordingly...
I don't think you all are ready for that yet.
But your kids are gonna love it.
first time I heard that song I was watching Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie and it had a surprisingly great metal soundtrack
For real 🤯i know my little fifteen year old head exploded
We weren’t ready. But we became ready.
I am probably going to reference this comment in conversations for the rest of my life. Prob best comment I have seen in 2024.
Korn is such a unique band in that every member is equally important which is rare.
Yep, that's the whole nu metal genre as a whole though, right? That's one of the best parts about nu metal, all the members are equally important and all play their own crucial role in the band. The music nu metal bands create is simple yet very effective, much like Nirvana's music in my opinion.
I hate that David isn't still with them...but I've heard he's kind of a prick
@@allencarey7336 he filed a lawsuit.....
David wanted to quit playing music and open up a restaurant and so he did. But yeah agreed, he was a vital part of their upbringing...
I got to meet them after their one of their shows and have pics as well, Jon is probably the most humble person you'd ever meet. Ray is also a cool guy.
How ignorant! Everyone in a band is a vital member!
@@SyNKevN and Brian? Did he share Christ with you?
I was a teen in Cuba, didn't understand a dam word in english but the power and anger and the noise, i fell in love with Korn since day one. One of my all time favourites bands. 🤘🤘🤘
I was in primary school in cuba when I first listened to untouchables, en 5to grado. I instantly felt at home listening to korn on repeat for years cuz nama tenia un cassette. Volao saber que habian mas chamacos descubriendo korn en cuba.
@@n1lknarf Friky hasta el día de hoy mi hermano y ya son 40 los años en mis costillas. Saludos.
Vaya frikiiii Te acuerdas el parke de g y las rockoteca del vedado y de playa Ami me gustaba el gotico
As a Bakersfield resident, I agree with Jonathan’s sentiments on the city lol. Still see him and HEAD around town every now and then, though.
I grew up in Oildale for most of my life. I still live in Bakersfield, but I live more in the Rosedale area nowadays. I moved several times to Florida, and Texas, but I always ended up coming back to Oildale. I remember when there was nothing but old houses, and oil fields for miles. Now it has gotten a lot better, but certain parts of Oildale are still pretty ran down, and the people are still the same.
Black Mountain do a very spacey song called Space To Bakersfield 😐
Woow
Omg I would LOVE to run into those guys!
Bakersfield
One of my main rules for my kids was never bully others and defend those being bullied. I never knew it, but all through high school my son routinely defended and included a boy named David. David has asbergers. David’s Dad came up to me at graduation and told me that he appreciated my son’s kindness and inclusion of David in HS. I was proud of my son. Kids are very cruel. I was cruel to others in HS and feel horrible about it to this day.
That's awesome man! I hope to instill that mindset in my daughter. I was bullied mercilessly all throughout k-12 to a point I've blakced it all out. After watching a few of these nu metal documentaries on this channel it finally dawned on me (as in, i finally have the words to express) why, even tho I'm an inner city black girl, my the words of these bands spoke to me so much. Reflecting on this as an adult is wild!
Kids pay for the sins of their parents
Bullying makes people stronger. It's up to the parents to teach children how to process bullying. My mother always said just agree with them for everything no matter what they say and I did and it worked. The bullies had no fuel anymore because "I was everything they said I was". It's reverse psychology and it works. Plus if no bullying, no korn lol
Your son is a David. Deal with it
Ok this is awesome but what does this have to do with korn
I tell y'all what I am a 52 year old black woman and love Korn their music is like no other I almost wrecked my 1985 Rivera. with huge wheels when got to life song came on radio I was rocking to this song korn is just like no other great band
Life Is Peachy was and is still such a phenomenal record.
My fav record
@@alcaiola8037 me too
Definitely the best representation of their sound and the first Korn record I heard. I was so young, but had a cool brother lol. My favorite too.
Favorite by barely a fraction
My favorite one fore sure always has been
I can remember discovering Korn. I was watching the music video for Freak on a Leash on MTV, being hypnotized with the bullet. Then came Jonathan's vocal moment ending with Go! Followed by the most heavy chords after that. Giving goosebumps and thinking "wow, what is this sensation!?"
this made me go watch the part
yeah, if it wasnt for MTV i wouldnt have known KoRn.. after listening to follow the leader, i went to listen their first and 2nd.. Clown is my favourite, and i even play in a KoRn cover band.. theres something Cool about playing KoRn music at that time..
The first time I heard about Korn was on a bumper sticker while sitting in the McDonald's drive-thru as a 14-year-old.
Yup same bro every since I've been a fan I love them perfect band for me
@Christoffer Högman speaking of which the song Wake Up is quite underrated! Definitely one of my favorite songs by Korn.
David silvera’s sound on drums is truly a different sound and I love it
Have you heard Breaking In A Sequence?
Ray is just basic compared to David.
@@ga8rielsMsg indeed. It's rather unfortunate.
my colleague dated David's ex.
His groovy playstyle was my main influence for starting to play drums.
KoRn, Manson, Zombie, Nirvana and NIN all helped me get through my f**ked up teenage years. Between school and home life. Their music and video games gave me an escape. I still listen to all of these guys and more today.
not Alice in Chains 😟
@@ivandaniel2596 I like then to. As well as MANY others like Stabbing Westward and Ministry. The fore mentioned was just my main go to music
@@jimbobb3509 yeah because you were right there, a part of my life. Stfu dude. You know nothing of what I went through.
im just picturing you in a corner crying with a disheveled dunce cap and your mouth zippered shut with a straitjacket on and theres a shadow of a step-father towering over you and a torn up teddy bear at your feet, why are the eyes ripped out of the teddy bear? WHY ARE YOU TAKING IT FROM MEEEEEEEEEEEE. MYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
@@Domingo95x do you often fantasize about guys you've never met on RUclips?
The first song I heard by Korn was " Shoots and Ladders" and I thought they were brilliant!!! I was not wrong....saw them in 1996 when they opened for Ozzy....amazing show!
Same here. Cleveland, Ohio 96 with Deftones and Ozzy
Adidas was the first song I heard in 5th grade even though “Follow the Leader” had just came out. It’s still my favorite Korn song to this day.
They were definitely an explosive live band. I hadn't gotten into them too much, but they opened with Flotsam and Jetsam for Megadeth in 95 (I think), and once I saw them, I was hooked.
It is brilliant!! The first time I heard it I got chills from the first note... and cried at the end but at the time didn't know why. Pure emotion . That's what making music's about. Ripping out your heart and soul for all to see. For me anyway 🤘🏻
Me to in Madison so. Believe it or not they were getting booed🤦♂️ def times were on there to
Korn caught my attention right away when I heard them as a pissed off teenager
Korn is one of those bands that you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing the first time you were introduced to their music!
I should've listened to Dr Drew bettet
I'm still a pissed off teenager
@@TheBridgesYouBurn the Street Fighter II movie was where I first heard them. Late night by myself and I’d never heard anything like it at that time
Jonathan is so underrated its ridiculous! His vocals are something out of this world! So beautiful, powerful & full of raw real emotion I love it!
I love you JDevil!!! First heard Korn at age 7 & still at 32 going strong with one of my fave bands of all times! So blessed to have been born in the late 80s raised in the 90s early 00s!! Such an amazing time to have been alive & will never have another time like it
I was born in 89 and that’s my exact experience with music. I’m grateful my dad raised me in old punk cassettes and I got into heavier music on my own
Many you guys make me feel old. I was born in 1976, loved Korn and still do. All I listen to with my 12 year old son is tge 80' 90's metal. Great eea of music that I don't think will ever be replicated.
How you figure he’s underrated? I fuckin hate when people say that especially for one of the biggest bands in the world. That was a really dumb thing to say. Underrated according to who?
@@Deenaderka99 He isn't underrated. My 70 plus year old parents know who KoЯn are. A lot of fans don't understand how popular they were back in the 90s. A lot of fans in the comment section weren't even born during the 80s so they have no clue!
Totally Hands Down Band of the 90's.
Many came many copied but Korn will always be so original.
Yup. Follow the leader
My friend asked me if I like the band Chaoseum. I said yeah. He said they are trying to imitate Korn. I said that is probably why I liked them 😅
Korn is great but they can't hold a bloody candle to Pantera for the 90s! Pantera stayed true to the roots of metal, kept it alive and made it more brutally honest than ever b4! When at the same time the metal fad was spandex, make up, hair, ballads and an all around pussification! I reveal in the fact that that crap is dead age gone! Metal is king, long live the king!
@@moshfreak900 Pantera started out as a hair band. Lol which I don't have anything against. Just brought it up because you mentioned hair bands. Pantera and Korn are in separate sub-genres of metal. Both are iconic and have forever left imprints in the Metal world.
@junior leave that unnecessary hate out, Pantera is touring again and doing well! Everybody has struggles, I know for a fact you do too and you are not perfect.
I got into heavy music thanks to korn, I was like 7 years old, I would listen to their music non stop on my old knockoff walkman.
I first heard of Korn when I saw them live in October 1994. I went to a Danzig show at the then Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio. There were two opening bands, first Korn, then Marilyn Manson. I had just turned 14 a month before the show. I’ll never forget it. It was an amazing experience and a pretty surreal lineup to think about these days.
I saw Korn again not long after that at The Alrosa Villa in Columbus. They opened up for Monster Magnet.
Amazing right?!? I saw Korn and the Deftones at Lupos in Providence in '95. I don't care what anyone said then, and I care less now. We were there for something very special.
I saw them at Polaris .....o.h.i.o.baby
That tour was the first I'd heard of and seen both Korn and Marilyn Manson. I went to see Danzig.
However, I was far more impressed with the two opening acts than with Danzig. 😂😂. Been listening to them ever since.
Is it not the Newport anymore ??
I was born in 94, my dad plays guitar and drums and loved Korn... so I was raised on them. Used to fall asleep in front of my dads amp while he practiced their music. Still my favorite band to this day!
So cool, your parents must have been fairly young when they had you? I was born in 93, had to discover korn on my own, the heaviest thing my parents liked was sabbath, not even 80s rock n roll or metal (they were already adults then).
@@kcmman9323 yeah they were 20 when they had me. I still go to shows with my dad, just saw Megadeth with him not too long ago!
@@bree1104 be grateful for that relationship! Youre lucky
If you were my kid, you'd have the same exact experiences lol Sounds like you've got a good dad.
Born in 94 as well and my dad loved showing me bands like this.... nowadays I come across all this gold and I share it with him like he didn't hear it first
My Mom was born and raised in Bakersfield California. When I learned that Korn were from there I had to hear them! Been a fan ever since.
I was introduced to Korn in high school 2 days after the issues cd came out. Korn and Kittie we're the first two rock groups I ever heard and Korn is permanently apart of my soul. Grew up with them, still loving them, still listing to them, still grateful for them. Korn kept me alive for a fact. I owe them everything.
Oh damn i didnt know JD's dad played keys for Zappa !? Thats dope as hell.
it is isn’t it. If you played for Zappa you were most likely at the top of your game and super proficient at your chosen instrument
Me being a freshmen in highschool and also gets bullied almost everyday. Hearing Jonathans story really helps
Pretty much everyone in the alt scene, including myself, was bullied in high school. Fuck them, you're welcome here.
Yep! Hang in there, it gets better.
I mean I love this music/scene and I was never bullied in high school. I loved high school. We pretty much owned our school as Juniors but we would stick up for the kids being bullied by jocks. That was part of a problem we had with the jocks who were seniors when we were juniors. They didn’t like we owned the school since seniors are supposed to top ppl on campus. Plus they were bullies cuz they were all rich. Like their families. Don’t worry about it my guy. I know it’s hard now but trust me, in the grand scheme of life none of this shit matters. Just keep up getting good grades and when you get to being a junior it’ll be a distant memory. I wish I could go back and care more about my schoolwork than getting fucked up with my friends.
As if Skool doesn't sux enough already. Here's a life lesson I learned back in the day, "It's not what we go through in life but how we go through life" keep your head up and stay cool, don't mind the bullies like you don't have a care in the world bro
GET help, talk to teachers and social workers! Don't let those bullies continue!
Jonathan Davis, what a legend. My absolute hero. Thank you, this was awesome.
He's a satanists. N did some unspeakable things I rather not say
@@briancannon3987 well hail satan then. Idgaf
@@briancannon3987 Yeah, but most people do unspeakable things throughout their lives, the only difference with J.D is he is ballsy and doesn't care what people think so he will document his life for everyone to see! I've got a lot of love for JD and he is a wonderful man and an amazing dad most importantly!
I cant even begin to tell you how wrong you are on your supposed accusations calling him a satanist.
@@mikesimon7634 do u know him personally?
Been a fan since 93 my friend was in a band and we would go to Bakersfield almost every weekend this went on 92-93 and because of my friend we met Korn and had beers with all the time! Good times 🤘 Korn 4Life 🤘🤘🤘 o
Awesome!
Your lucky bro. I've always wanted to meet and chill with these guys! I've too been a fan since the release of there 1st self titled!!! Ive never felt the way way I do about Korn for another band! Lol I literally love this band! My loves go Korn, my wife and kids, and lastly my family. But everyone knows Korn is 1st! Lol
Wow, you are beyond lucky Drew!
Which band was your friend in?
I feel ya! I spent the weekend with them in 97 lollapalooza Raleigh Charlotte NC. BEST WEEKEND OF MY LIFE! We watched Holyfield/Tyson fight with tool and Snoop and Snoop smoked MY weed! 🤣
Going to see korn this weekend, I am fucking excited! "Issues" changed my life when I was a kid, can't believe it's been over 20yrs.
Yea I can feel that. I grew up on 70s and 80s rock so rock was like my parent music. Nothing wrong with that but I was a predominantly rap listener but Korn gave me my own rock they didn't share in and new appreciation it! The heavy basslines and the bit of rap/rock of "numetal" appealed to kids like me. Too many bands tried to do it and ruined the sound but Korn man nothing sounds like Korn man that band is still my shit
It all went by so fast.
I feel you brother, I just saw KoRn for the first time live in 2021 and Staind opened up for them, it was awesome! I'm going to try to see them 2 more times before 2023 hits!!
They're great live...my homies since 93...Jah bless w blessings all around 1♥️
I’m 34. Listened to Korn a ton in high school with my black and blue hair, along with Tool and NIN. Good times. That music got me through a lot. Soothed my soul. Still does.
Korn saved me. i love their shows. i’m young so i didn’t get to experience their growth. but their music helps express my pain. i love watching these documentary’s.
How young man,can't believe kids can find them,I will say to be careful we become the kind of music we listen too
You got to love urself when noone else does...Don't live in that pain. I know it.
@@joecrowe7062 bruh shut up
Ok nightpain.
When I was 13, freak on a leash hit, as a skinny white boy from near branson missouri, I grew up surrounded by hicks listening to country music. Needless to say korn was a formative part of my youth. They have always been one of my favorites. I was lucky enough to see them live about 2 weeks ago in Springfield mo. And for a band going on 30 years on the road, they have one of the tightest, well planned live shows I have ever seen. Every single band member 100% on point and giving it their all. Thank you korn....
Saw the same show in Springfield
Silver dollar city 😂
@@kyleprzepierski5230 more like “Steal Your Dollar City” am I right? 😂
Korn were the first and best nu metal band of all time! Bands like LimpBizkit, SlipKnot, Coal Chamber, and Papa Roach really have KoRn to thank for their music careers!
They do thank KORN
Many times
Slipknot have nothing in common with Korn.
@@dekapitatorr I'm not saying they don't stand on their own, but they surely were inspired by KoRn! Corey has admitted on video to that, look up the video on RUclips "Corey Taylor "I was blown away by Korn"
@@TheBridgesYouBurn Corey was blown away by everyone and he wasnt even in Slipknot when majority of the first album was written.
@@dekapitatorr Well, I've heard rumors that the K in SlipKnot, how they capitalize the K, I've heard multiple rumors that they did that as a tribute to KoRn! So, they were definitely inspired by them and they were obviously huge fans!
KORN is a National Treasure.
Korn are their own genre of music, and of course you can thank Ross Robinson for that too!
Your documentaries are incredibly good man !
Thanks man!!
Growing up in Bulgaria in a disfunctional abusive family, today I know they really saved my life. I still work on the trauma and their music still helps me process my feelings and the memories. I will forever be grateful for Korn and their music.
One of my favorite Korn memories.
Korn was doing a big promo for Follow the leader and did a record store signing. I heard about this on the radio and drove like 2 hours to this record store outside of the Detroit area. They showed up in the back of a monster truck (big foot/grave digger style). The line was immense, but they were so cool and took time to talk to everyone that came thru that line. It was my first time meeting BIG rock stars and my eyes must have looked like hub caps because when i moved down the table to Munky , he looked up at me and smiled...said..."hey man, you ok?" I just shook my head and barely got out a "yeah" because i was tongue tied.
Fast forward to just a a few years ago when they did short anniversary run of that album and played a few select cities in smaller venues, i saw them at the Masonic theater in SF. They played just about the entire album and did a few of their most popular tracks.
The show was off the (wallet) chain!!! :)
Being 16 in 1996, Korn helped me get through a lot and I'm so thankful I was alive when they were at their prime.
you’re so lucky to have been alive during then- it kinda sucks to discover a band after their time 🥲 (although requiem is amazing)
1980 was a good year to be born!!
@@sherlockbonez i am incredibly jealous of you 😭
Same same. Born in 80. Korn helped me a lot. I’ve jammed to them for decades.
My parents saw Korn right before they got big and no one in the crowd knew who they were but my dad says everyone walked out of that venue being a korn fan
Can imagine that. My dad always liked them
Their first album was released on my birthday.Hell of a present guy s. Thank you.
Their evolution has been and still is incredible. I'd probably be either dead or in prison were it not for their music as a depressed teen.
Really? Music only goes so far to enlighten and heal. Gotta deal w/the issues underlying the symptoms. I speak from experience...
It was so awesome to be a teen in the 90s dude. The music was so sick. Pantera, Korn, sepultura, Fukking Tool! And my personal favorite, the bass God les, motherfukking PRIMUS!
@@justjeph6927 Are you sure? I know it's hard for some to read between the lines but when someone shares something personal, You give them the Benefit of the Doubt ! ! !
Humans find "enlightenment" from all sorts of things. Music, art even the Stars inspire us to be who we are.
@@emesar5233 yes, I'm sure. I'm talking about the place deep inside your heart where the God of love wants to do an everlasting work in your heart. The things you mention are only temporal. Btw, there's no benefit in doubt. Faith in Jesus the Christ is the key to eternal life.
@@iamtheangiechrist1090 PRIMUS SUCKS!
I was a teenager in highschool when i heard about Korn. I loved them instantly. They become my No.1 band, and they still are even today.
Funny how quickly time goes by. ✨
Saw them in 2000 during their Issues tour. One hell of a concert and one i'll never forget. I loved when the show started off with Davis playing the bagpipes. Definitely a band you must see live!
That's a great band for you! The great bands are the ones you see in concert and you never forget that experience, I can relate when I saw Pantera live it was amazing and it still feels like it happened recently because I will never forget that experience of seeing Pantera live! Coal Chamber is another one I'll never forget.
Sick and Twisted Tour!!!!
I still go see Korn yearly for the past decade. They get better every year. Aging like fine wine!
Just saw them for the first time tonight. Holy shit man. I was screaming.
WHAT IF I SHOULD DIEEEEE
Can you tell them to come to Australia 🥺🙏🏻😫😍
They rock so hard. Saw them in 1998 then again 2 years ago. So f'n good to this day
For years, I couldn’t figure out why I loved KORN so much. Now I do. I am one of the forgotten, even today as an adult. So a major Thank You to KORN for everything! love just a loner n Utah ❤
I remember buying Sepultura's Roots back then. I was surprised but stoked when I heard JD on Lookaway. The golden age was when the likes of Korn, Deftones, Sepultura/Soulfly, Fear Factory and others were all over one another's records.
Hed P.E. ?
I’m 41 now but when freak on the leash video came up I was 17-18 , remember I couldn’t stop waiting to see the video again again And the part that sound like rapping was and still mind blowing .
They were more than a band. They took such a dark and angry path that no other band threw out. I'm 35 years old and korn was my favorite band them and Alice in chains. I can't believe how fast the years have gone by. Drugs alcohol almost took me out most of my life. The words korn sang was like razors blads cuting into my soul and heart. I
One of my first concerts as a teen was Pantera with Korn opening up for them in like 1994 or 95 at Red Rocks amphitheater in Colorado. Was one of the best shows I've ever seen right below Tool that same summer at Red Rocks also. Great documentary thanks
Awesome, I didn't know Korn ever played with Pantera? The first concert I ever went to was Metallica, Kid Rock, And Sevendust!
🤘🤘🤘
We grew up when music was good.i don't like any other music...still listening to the music I grew up to.korn,Pantera,tool,NIN,nirvana. My body feels old but my brain feels 18.
Oh man Pantera AND Tool back in the day. The unholy things I would do to be able to get the chance to see them in the 90’s...
That would have been amazing! The venue alone is amazing!
Korn has been my favorite band since their first release. Seen them live 5 times now I believe. Seeing them in 2019 after so many years was just as good, if not better! They have one of the best live performances hands down!
most def, i tried to goto every show when they came through d.c./maryland/virginia area. somewhere around 16 shows until i moved out to ohio 6 years ago.
KOЯN kicked off the greatest genre ever. Helped pave a way for SLIPKNOT, Linkin Park and many other greats. Will always be my #1
I am a Rush and Genesis fan but "Got the Life" really opened up my eyes to a new type of music.Thank you so much!!
Is this your first time hearing Korn?
@@trevor5071 I laughed so hard too
Awesome the connection different eras and styles of music can create! Its art itself. Musical evolution is ever evolving. But POP music has really become dumbed down and stale. Glad I grew out of POP when GNR Use your Illusion came out and Alternative Nation happened at Eastern Creek back in 95. Expanded my musical tastes to levels I never knew.
Got The Life was the song that inspired me to start playing guitar back in the late 90s!
@@trevor5071 Literally pretty much any human being who lives in the USA over the age of 38 has most likely heard Korn before. They were a household name back in the 90s, even if you hated the band literally every one had friends or family members who was absolutely obsessed with them! You would go to the mall on the weekends and there would be people dressed up like Marilyn Manson with the makeup on their face and everything, looking just like Manson, and you would see Korn shirts everywhere too! The 90s was crazy! It doesn't matter if you're in your 60's or 70's now if you lived through the 90's you most likely know who Korn is, regardless if you're a fan or not.
My mom went to school with Jonathan at highland and told me how he was bullied, my mom was I guess apart of the in crowd. Never really knew this growing up, but took a liking to Korn, kind of odd kid out and went to highland also. I hated Bakersfield, still do. When I had my first son I was gonna buy a house in east Bakersfield because it was all I could afford at the time. Decided to pull out of buying then move my family away. Korn got me threw a lot and felt insanely relatable.
I've loved Korn from the moment I was given the first cassete tape (the self debut album) by one of my friends:) This band became of instant success since their debut album, and I've experienced it while being at the end of the world in Eastern Europe:))) so scratch that about the band struggling to make it big, they were BIG from the very beginning!!!!
Korn the band that started it all and still kicking ass today 20 something years later incredible
The greatest metal band of all time, in my humble opinion. Been one of their biggest fans since 1994. Really enjoyed your video alot.🤘
One of the biggest things that made Korn a 'household name' was them winning the MTV video of the year for Freak on a Leash as well as touring with Metallica back when Metallica was still good
I was watching some young 14 year girl sings Freak on a leash,on RUclips.
Man’s got a voice that could make literally anything sound serious, perfect for this kinda content.
For the "DEFTONES CAME BEFORE KORN" comments: Yes, Deftones FORMED before Korn, but Korn were successful on a globally commercial level way before Deftones, hence why Korn are seen as the pioneers of the Nu-Metal genre.
Also, L.A.P.D. formed in 1989 that featured members of Korn. Deftones started in 88 and had their first "solid" line-up around 1994. If it wasn't for Korn, Deftones wouldn't have had a huge alternative and commercial audience to be exposed to.

Wrong
Educate us all, Mike!
@@RAWMUSICTV Don't bother! The Deftones that people know "formed" in 93 and released their first album in 95 after Korn.
It not so much timing. It's more that you put Deftones in the same category as those bands that came around later.
deftones didnt start playing nu metal till after korn
When people say: “soundtrack of my youth” (I listened to all kinds of music, but was mostly a teenage classic rocker of the 90’s)… but MY youth is this.
I was 16, sitting in my English class… I had a Walkman with a cd and ear phones. I’ll never forget it.
Then I was 17, had an older boyfriend with a black ford single cab truck that “bumped”. He was wild. We drove fast on the freeways of California headed to Newport Beach.
I’ll never forget it.
These types were my people.
Those were the days.
Pagers were a thing. No social media. Our relationships with others was more genuine. So, it was dark, because it was real life. This music HIT back then.
Got my first KoRn CD back in 95. They're the first band that got me into music, became my obsession growing up.
sadly, as the years went on their sound progressed into something that just didn't appeal to me... Which sucks because deep down they're still me fav band.
Follow the leader blew me away about 100 times. It is a special album , the first contact with drgs for me...I'll love it forever
I was a forensic autopsy technician for 10 years and a crematory operator for 5. I’ve never had any nightmares and I loved what I did. It’s definitely not for everyone.
Wow, that's very impressive! I wonder what kind of affect working as a coroner's assistant had on Jonathan considering he was only a teenager at the time? I bet it really helped motivate him to become the person he is today.
Learning about Jonathan's childhood made Freak on a Leash make so much more sense
You didn't already know? I assume the Daddy song was a hint??
One of the best shows you can ever see. I’ve seen them 5 times never disappoint.
Your narrating voice is truly professional and very pleasant to listen to! Please do more !
Your documentaries are just amazing. I’ve previously watched so many that I’ve loved, but yours teach me so much more.
The best most classic Korn albums and era were when David was the Drummer. They can put out 5 more albums with the new drummer I'll always prefer the first 7 albums
You arnt alone on this. But for me, the music never truly wavered. The first album without David, SYOTOS, is one of my favorites, even the B side tracks are good. Songs like Too Late I'm Dead. So good.
I love the followed untitled album just as much. I even loved JDs experiment with dubstep, TPOT! Which was probably their lowest point, simply in terms of the amount of hate they were getting from the "old guard" fans.
When the were on the tour supporting TPOT, droves of people qere walking out of the show when they played a block of songs from the album. How sad! That album is soooo good. JD has some of his darkest growliest sounding vocals in some of those songs
Love the way the snare sounded and the clicking of the bass were iconic korn sounds
What album is TPOT
Just once I want to watch a documentary about a band that's like "Everyone actually grew up pretty happily. They're just really good at writing good songs." It'd only be like 3 minutes long but that's all I'd need.
Same. The "so-and-so had a hard life" cliché is so boring at this point....
Beautiful art comes from pain.
Still get chills to this day listening to their music. The fact they were able to incorporate bag pipes that flowed with their music makes it just that more at a higher level of uniqueness. ✌️
Korn was the rock band that converted me away from pop music. Like many others, I was constantly bullied, never had the best clothes or nice things in general when I was growing up. Korn made me feel free to be me and finally a part of a family I belonged to. I wish I could thank them for helping me discover myself through their art form. Cheers to all the "outcasts" that share similarities in my story.
I went to Bakersfield High in 1967. Lived there 8 years and I didn't know they were from there. Thought it was cool but of course they weren't born yet. An amazing band. Love ❤️ them
Great documentary. Brought back so many memories. Living in NY it took a little longer for us to catch on. I was in 10th grade listening to Metallica and my skater friend came over said yo check this out and gave me his Walkman to listen. It was Blind. I was hooked. 11th grade was nothing but Korn shirts and ADIDAS shirts writing KORN all over the place. Deftones, Coal Chamber, Slipknot, SOAD, Soulfly. Man graduated high school 2000 and those bands were my soundtrack. I still have the first three CDs somewhere in a box. Listen to them just the other day, still know every word.
Korn is one of those bands that when you hear them for the first time you never forget where you were and what you were doing when you heard them for the first time!
I will never forget the first time I heard KoRn. I was 11 and my brother had just bought the first album. "Ball Tongue" was the first song I heard. Loved it.
These guys have influenced me so much... My locs and love for bass not to mention how their music has always helped me through the hard times. Thank God for Korn
Thank you so much for this. I've been a huge fan since I was 8 years old. I'm 30 now and this video taught me things about Korn that I had never heard before. Very awesome.
I've fan of KoЯn since 2002 at the age of 9 and now I'm 29. I've been listening to KoЯn 19 years now and I'm not going to stop. And I've seen them live 15 times lol.
I saw them in a small club in 1994 in Lawrence, Kansas. And again in 1999 at a huge arena in Olympia, Wa
This was a really good video! Thanks!
Korn is such a favorite band for me so I really enjoyed some more insight about them.
Just last night I came across your Slayer doco. Now I've been watching a bunch of videos. I'm glad you showed who YOU are. Just like me and a lot of your viewers. Thank you for doing the reading, listening and research. Thank you.
Absolutely love the amount of research you do in these documentaries. This channel is awesome
One of the greatest 90s bands ever, and early 2000s 🤘🤘
Korn helped me hurt less. I loved this band so much back in the day! The first album was so great
The quality of this work is something else! Thanks
Absolutely brilliant documentary! Well done, well produced!
Thanks for this piece of work on this beautiful band.
Going to see them on the 10th.... Its been my favorite band since I was 14, and im 40 now. Ive never had a chance to see them so Im beyond fucking excited.
Just saw them in Indiana, your in for a treat
That's fucking awesome dude!!🤘
Same, Korn is my fav band ever! About 20 years now, since I was 12, but I've never had the opportunity to go to any live concert. But FINALLY, I have tickets to see Korn in Sept! It's finally happenning! My 1st concert, & it's my fav band! Can't wait!
@Iam the plumber and Christine....yous are in for a treat,that's for sure!
Hopefully I get too see them again soon too.
Same here. Introduced to them in high school in 96/97. Hands down favorite band of all time. I've seen them about 6 times. I just took my 9yo son to see them. It was his first concert. You are definitely in for a good time. Prepare to have your world rocked
My friend played bagpipes and we always thought "how cool would it be to incorporate them into metal". Sure enough one Beavis & Butthead episode in `94 there is Korn, and was hooked ever since.
I was introduced to Korn after the release of Follow the Leader. I have been a fan ever since. They are as good today as they ever were. Their shows are soooo good. I try to see them anytime they come near me.#stillafreak
This is a wonderful documentary. I actually learnt some new things I didn't know about KoRn. Thank you for being so respectful and conscientious in your work. Xxxx
Never became a huge fan. But always appreciated their musicianship and unique style and performances. Watching this makes me want to buy their masters album.
What a beastly band! Love these guys so much. Keep up the awesome
Documentary’s man! 🔥
I had just moved to a new town the summer of 99 and my first friend i made at school introduced me to korn / nu metal in general. Korn was my battle cry growing up, they kept me going, thry gave me an outlet and a coping mechanism to know that yeah you can grow up and go through some shit but you arent alone, you can come out the other side and make something of yourself. Thank you korn for saving me on an almoat daily basis. Side fun note: my mom took me to my first concert ever when i was 14 in 2002 and i will never forget it.
Korn is legit the definition of my childhood 🤘🏻🤙🏻
I saw Korn, Coal Chamber, Cradle of Thorns in 95' at the Hollywood Palladium! Best show ever!!
Wow, awesome man! I saw CC a few times live back in the day but didn't see Korn live until 2021 and Staind opened up for them, it was awesome! Coal Chambers live shows back in the day were incredible, they were the only nu metal band back then that could really rival with Korn as a live band IMO.
@@TheBridgesYouBurn yeah it was something pretty special watching that show. I never even heard of CC until that show in 95'.
In one interview Head talks about " the Bungle chord" which influenced his guitar playing. The Korn chord & Bungle chord are just complete chaos. I once showed this guitar chord shape to a guitar teacher & the look on his face🤣 omg ..
Man at 34 years old I’m still OBSESSED with KORN!!! ❤❤❤
🤘🏿Thank you for making this video🤘🏿
Seeing this brought back memories
I was 18 when their debut album was released. The first time i heard ARE YOU READY, i was in a record store and i was instantly hooked. Almost 30 years later im still a huge fan. Korn helped me work through all my childhood trauma.
We need more videos like this ..good job!
Very well done! You talked about things I didn’t know or forgotten. Nicely done!
I was bullied everyday in high school and in middle school Korns music was my saving Grace i came home put on your music and ecsaped from the world your album follow the leader was one of the best i ever heard now that im older and all grown up i still am dedicated Korn kid for life i have been in and out of hospital with seizures and asthma most of my life to
Hell yeah🤟 this was well made man thx much love from Bakersfield California!
Cheers man!!
Awesome documentary!!! I was in Secondary School when I first heard Korn... Heard Freak on a leash and was hooked straight away. Was such an awesome outlet...
Were so lucky to have apps like spotify now and its done so much for music and finding new bands, But the only thing it hasn't been able to do is replicate what a feeling it was waiting to get your hands on a cd for the first time and just listening to it or hearing your favourite songs come on the music channels.
Its only now I think how lucky we were to be growing up there and then and seeing all these awesome bands coming through together. Im sure the same thing is happening now for the younger generation of today
I'm so happy I was a teenager when Nu-Metal kicked off in the 90s. And same, first video I saw from Korn was Freak On A Leash and it BLEW MY MIND!!!
Another amazing documentary as always. Well done my friend.
Love your documentaries mate. Fantastic viewing. Thank you.
