Oh fuck no. I respect what the emmure guys are doing, but KoRn has a shitload of really emotional, non breakdown etc riff songs. Also... I can't stand Frankie as a singer. But hey, different taste.
@@BigMetalDaddy1301 Dude you know every Emmure album has at least 1 really emotional song? Aswell as 1 song with riffs and cleans. They follow pretty distinct themes where every album always has at least 1 emotional song lol literally every album has 1 depressing song thats really dissonant
Big Bloke it’s a terrible crime against the gods of nu metal picking the bass while playing korn is like playing for a death metal band but only owning a 12 string acoustic
Most of these riffs we're the first 7 string riffs I ever learned. Thank you Andrew, you are a true 7 string user, and same goes to the 8, 9 and 10 string. Love you man!
@@Stormfire1777 I totally like using a pick with bass for recording most of the time. Don’t get me wrong, they have their place. But, when you’re doing a Korn bass video.... you got to have those fingers going Fieldy style. Haha.
Other person commented about Daddy. That song is an absolute raw catharsis and nothing else. It has some crazy bass playing by Fieldy and it's incredibly unsettling, especially if you delve into what went through his (JD's) mind when doing the vocals. If you need explanation hit me up. But yeah they are very hated by people and I honestly expected to see more hate comments here. Either way I would probably have been in a much darker place in my life had I not listened to them so I'm thankful to them. That and they introduced me to seven strings as well as experimentation with guitar noises.
Most of these riffs are not played correctly on some way or another. In tone terms, you're not too far off, except for the fact they started using an octaver effect from untouchables onward. This is why Here to stay sounds so thin in comparison here. Still, credit where credit is due, cool tribute nonetheless
@@ryuhadouken1404 There's a video of Head denying that in their rig rundown. It was the Digitech XP-100 Whammy Wah. It sounds like a big muff could sound tho. It just misses the octave.
What If Cannibal Corpse Tuned Down?Please Use the same tunings and what I mean by that is if the song was originally in Eb play it on a 7 string tuned to Bb or a 8 string tuned to F
The intro part to Blind sounds off, and it also would've been cool if you did the second guitar for twist as well not just the one riff on both guitars, but other than that another solid video my dude! Love your content
I really like the idea Korn III closes the loop on Korn and Life is Peachy, I like to think the girl on the cover of Korn III is the girl on Korn I, so as to say "our roots are still there, but we grow up as musicians". Also I can't enough of Let the Guilt Go.
James Freeman ah yes. Same for me. Had a buddy that loved them and I was like “what kinda stupid band is called korn?” Then I listened and my life was also changed.
Same. Heard Falling Away From Me as a kid, and it stuck. They were still too much for me for a while, but when the time came, I dove head first and haven't looked back since.
@@coldguto haha. I feel it. I usually do too, but the tone shouldn't be this close to the mid range. It feels more like it was placed on top of the mix instead of integrated, if you get what I'm saying. (I'm also basing this in KoRn's style)
@@k.mroczek59 that was the one that I was confused over. I couldn't work out what was going on as it didn't sound right at all. I wasn't sure about the tuning in places either, but I'm a drummer so what do I know!
Issues is still my favourite album so many good songs on there. Even got Head's Red Splatter 7-string as a birthday presenr since my previous one had a floyd rose which kept fucking up
Love how everyone plays "Insane" With power chords on the opening riff, even though that riff revolves around one string and a digitech xp100. I was lucky to grab a fully working one from ebay and man it adds so much beef and balls to that riff.
The best riffs in no particular order would be clown-predictable-helmet in the bush-ball tongue-need to-chi-shoots and ladders-let’s get this party started-did my time. Damn this is harder than I thought it would be lol
Really can't understand why everyone's jumping down your throat about the whole using pick on bass, I think you're being pretty truthful to the how he actually sounds tone wise (clicky yet monstrous sound) and regardless I appreciate the effort you put in to do this. I think Fieldy would really like dingwalls of he gave them a chance
Imagine if Korn had access to the guitars we have access to now. They recorded most of the old stuff using an Ibanez Universe 25.5 scale guitar and not until recently, at least head, started using longer scale guitars, dont know about Munkey.
Good job on the video. If you will allow me one weak complaint, I know this is “riff” evolution, but their chord progressions are probably the most interesting thing about their music. I would have liked hearing more if those parts.
Thumb jokes aside. I didn't notice at first, but now hearing only the instrumentals I realise that Korn and modern Metal guitarists use mostly the same techniques
LIL COREY I wanna say something about clown from Slipknot, because of your profile pic and username... but I can’t think of anything funny so take this as a nod;)
First four albums have very cool bass and drums groove . Guitars are always very chaotic but simple . They will be rocking in their 60s . Everyone grabs his first 7-string to play these songs .
For me, the sound of Korn is not limited to the guitar riff ... but also the drums ... A mix of ethnic, disco and groove ... And this bass ... No technique. Just rhythmic .... With the "clicclicclac" ... The strength of korn's sound is this collective work. That's why we feel the lack of head on some albums and David Silveria .... (I throw oil on the fire: D)
Doing this video made me realize that Emmure is just deathcore Korn...
Emmure is Deathkorn
So is Korn a cult?
They were the OGs of a certain brand of heavy. All the ERG nerds def have to respect the fact they made 7 string more mainstream.
Oh fuck no. I respect what the emmure guys are doing, but KoRn has a shitload of really emotional, non breakdown etc riff songs. Also... I can't stand Frankie as a singer. But hey, different taste.

Great choices but points taken off for no slap bass
Someone was gonna comment this eventually :p
Well that's because you know what you did
I thought the bass sounded good. Never really cared for Fieldy's style.
That Dingwall sounds so sick. Is that the NG3?
@@michaellorenz7177 you know nothing, jon snow...
Did you just pick korn bass
😫
😫
Haha!
Big Bloke it’s a terrible crime against the gods of nu metal picking the bass while playing korn is like playing for a death metal band but only owning a 12 string acoustic
Hate the pick bass sound, not only on korn but in general
Fieldy doesn't use a pick, and I know you have Thumbs, Baena.
Kind of normal honestly, he's not a bass player, let alone Fieldy.
the “i know you have thumbs” was the most mom thing i’ve ever heard
@@aidencantrell8534 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sir, we’ve got a bruh moment.
This man is playing bass with a pick on a Korn song
Its less of a bruh moment, more of a this isnt even a bruh moment what the fuck is wrong with you
He can do what he wants
😂😂😂😂😂💀
Its wild how korns riffs are so simple but its not easy to play like them.
This video is going on repeat for the rest of the day. And I'm digging out by goddamn guitar
Surprised no one brought up the dub step album lol
We don't speak of that album... 😂
crb6852 I DO. Y’ALL CAN HATE ALL YOU WANT, BUT IT ISNT AS BAD AS YOU SAY
Narcissistic cannibal was a good song as well as get up
That was a pretty good album I was hooked on the song tension for a while
that album is badass! people just ungrateful
Most of these riffs we're the first 7 string riffs I ever learned. Thank you Andrew, you are a true 7 string user, and same goes to the 8, 9 and 10 string. Love you man!
I find the lack of slap bass and Path of Totality disturbing
Well that album wasn’t really korn, it was more Jonathan Davis singing over dubstep
That album blows tho
@@TheseBitchesWantNikes I agree that album was by far their worst
Path of totality is slept on
@@ryanbubba1000 fact.
I'm voting Baena for the sexiest gahtdamn equipment used by any RUclips guitarist/musician!
Like the hodge twins pic lol
Not trying to be the 100th guy to bring up the whole “Why are you using a pick for the bass?” thing, but....
Because he wanted to and he's amazing!
Paul Gray would want to know your location, but unfortunately he died 10 years ago

Not anybody can do slap bass. It’s a skill. You need rhythm. Fieldy is mexican so he’s got that rhythm going.
Korn is my favorite band and now I got mad respect for you because of this video.
I've never listened to Korn and man they have some weird/cool riffs.
Binge them. The weirdest most unusual songs are all buried in their albums. I love em. Only warning: nobody forgets when they first hear Daddy
Other person commented about Daddy. That song is an absolute raw catharsis and nothing else. It has some crazy bass playing by Fieldy and it's incredibly unsettling, especially if you delve into what went through his (JD's) mind when doing the vocals. If you need explanation hit me up.

Samuel Jacobson Daddy is the most tortured, trauma-inducing song possibly ever.
Daddy still breaks me and I've been a fan since that album
You’re missing out on a lot then lol
Thank you, Papa Baena, for this blessed offering of Korn.

Wrong effect. Big muff was the pedal that dominated the Untouchables album.
Ok mister specialist

Yes!
I see this as an absolute win
I was just listening to Life is Peachy and short after it ended I got a notification from Andrew's channel.
Nice.
Awer Tyuiop And Korn release a new song today. Noice.
@@yearnpill I was right about to add that, too. There's just been too many coincidences this week!
Awer Tyuiop Yup, not complaining tho 😁😂
Perfect pick of all their best songs but you missed Ball Tongue 😛
here to stay riff still the heaviest in existence
The intro part to Blind sounds off, and it also would've been cool if you did the second guitar for twist as well not just the one riff on both guitars, but other than that another solid video my dude! Love your content
I really think Korn III is a severely under-rated album.
It really is
It's honestly got some of their best riffing.
@micah boy blue same!
their best album!

Love and Meth is beyond fire I don’t care what anyone tells me
That Oreo the guitar of Hater is good
The band that got me into the metal!
blackened872 same. 1997 changed my life when I got a copy of follow the leader from another 4th grader lol
James Freeman ah yes. Same for me. Had a buddy that loved them and I was like “what kinda stupid band is called korn?” Then I listened and my life was also changed.
@@jimfree66 follow the leader wasn't out til august 1998
Same. Heard Falling Away From Me as a kid, and it stuck. They were still too much for me for a while, but when the time came, I dove head first and haven't looked back since.
Loved the bass tone, hated you playing it with a pick, so I'm back to neutral
I actually thought the bass tone was too discernible and upfront in the mix.
@@neurosin well, so it might be my biased opinion
As a bass player, I love when the bass is clearly audible in the mix hahahah
@@coldguto haha. I feel it. I usually do too, but the tone shouldn't be this close to the mid range. It feels more like it was placed on top of the mix instead of integrated, if you get what I'm saying. (I'm also basing this in KoRn's style)
@@neurosin i completely agree, sits where vocals would sit
I love how every time people make these kinds of videos. They can never play the song exactly right
Clown didn't even sound like Clown lmao
Agreed
I'm not the only one thinking this then. Not sure about the new songs because I don't know them. But lots of the old stuff is not quite right
Why everyone play clown so fast the bass part is slower than the guitar part😢
@@k.mroczek59 that was the one that I was confused over. I couldn't work out what was going on as it didn't sound right at all. I wasn't sure about the tuning in places either, but I'm a drummer so what do I know!
Killer tone as always dude! Sounds badass!
I’ve been waiting for this!
Specifically clicked for right now riff. Wasn't disappointed...subscribed
Some of the Korn riffs I like are "Fake", "Shoots & Ladders", "Good God", "No Way" & "Ever Be" as well as the ones played in this video!
Awesome Selection I totally forgot about Korn these past few years, that changed now so thanks dude 🤘🏼
Baena back at it with another great video! ❤️ just showing love. Big Korn fan
Killer dude! and the day before korn releases their new song
Donny Bartoo I know so awesome
AMEN!!!!!!
How did this not sound like Korn at all?
Cuz Baena uses tabs instead of playing by ear, plus his tones and playing style are straight up djent.
no slap bass
His tone is just diffrent
Sounds awesome! I got to see them live a couple of times. That bass hits so hard in concert that it feels like you’re getting punched in the chest!
Killer video, my guy! 🤘
cant believe you left the breakdown in Freak on a leash out
Is it just me or is this the most MIDI sounding guitar and bass tone I've ever heard.
Agree, it's an ok video, but i don't like the way he mixed instruments
And here I thought KORN could not sound any better, but Andrew, once again, puts that to rest. \,,/
Issues is still my favourite album so many good songs on there.
Even got Head's Red Splatter 7-string as a birthday presenr since my previous one had a floyd rose which kept fucking up
Korn's been djenting and I had no idea!
Love how everyone plays "Insane" With power chords on the opening riff, even though that riff revolves around one string and a digitech xp100. I was lucky to grab a fully working one from ebay and man it adds so much beef and balls to that riff.
Perfect selection of Korn songs!
Here To Stay is still one of my favorites.
i could just hear the AAARE YOOUU REAADYYYY on the first one
Great job man
AB: Releases Korn riff evolution video
Korn: Releases new single from upcoming album same day.
Love it man! \m/
Thanks Andrew!
Riff Evolution, In Flames!!!
Unless you already did that. In which case, link please?
You deserve more subs bro!
Ayeee u finally did it
Great mix and that new bass is kickin.
I never realized here to stay had that extra note at the end of the riff!! i always thought it just looped
Yeah, this doesn’t seem accurate in this performance
@@NVJN looks and andrew agreed lol
Just in time when Korn I releasing a new single tomorrow. Hopefully its as good as what rotting in vain was.
The bass lines make this all feel like one song.
Great riff list Andrew!
Why the bass is played with a pick instead with fingers and slapping how it's made
Why you did not included path of totality?
Its On has to be one of my favorite riffs to play.
Yeah!!! KORN!!! Been listing to them since the beginning. They got me threw some tough times and high school.
Great job🤘🤘🤘
Bass korn with pick?
WHOO ARE YOU!!!!
I was curious if you would have the new song riff in there. I dig it. It just made me realize how hard it is to top RIV and insane as first singles
PFFF that tone is sick.
What about Path of Totality? 🤔
their worst album
@@SabinoDTmusic You've obviously never listened to it. It's actually heavy as fuck.
@@6jizza6whizza6 factual.
Being a old school Korn fan... I forgot how Sick the Prey for Me and the Love & Meth riffs are Super Chucky...
This is fucking awesome
Instead, Riff Evolution there must be "Riff Degradation" in the title
The best riffs in no particular order would be clown-predictable-helmet in the bush-ball tongue-need to-chi-shoots and ladders-let’s get this party started-did my time. Damn this is harder than I thought it would be lol
Vid slaps hard even if the bass is picked.
This guy is really really good keep it up man
Here to Stay has the best Korn riff imo
Hi. Great Videos. Can I ask how you & what you record all this on? What ins for audio(s) & video cameras? Thanks
I didn’t realize the riff for Clown was so brutal :|
Yeah but it’s played incorrectly here
Next vid maybe you can do an all slap vid. Slap bass and slap guitar. I’m sure that’s what you have planned. Bar chords will be a lot of fun to slap.
Love these videos, great job man. Not sure if you've done an After the Burial riff evolution but if you have how about Bury Your Dead. Be well my dude
Really can't understand why everyone's jumping down your throat about the whole using pick on bass, I think you're being pretty truthful to the how he actually sounds tone wise (clicky yet monstrous sound) and regardless I appreciate the effort you put in to do this.

they are sure making music for a long time. Damn I am old...
Korn with a Lil butter is always tasty
Amazing cover man :3

Imagine if Korn had access to the guitars we have access to now. They recorded most of the old stuff using an Ibanez Universe 25.5 scale guitar and not until recently, at least head, started using longer scale guitars, dont know about Munkey.
They both currently use 25.5 scale evertuned guitars
Korn has such primitive and at the same time such genius music
jesus that BASS
You better slap that 5 string! LOL. Great video I love it!
Good job on the video. If you will allow me one weak complaint, I know this is “riff” evolution, but their chord progressions are probably the most interesting thing about their music. I would have liked hearing more if those parts.
