What she is realizing from this video, is why we were the way we were in the first place. People didn't understand us, and for some of us still don't feel understood. Music like this made us feel not so alone, and Korn was one of the first bands to really vocalize and say what we all felt. These are one of those bands that have forever affected music, and will probably be forever relevent. Regardless, thanks for appreciating the musicians in rock and metal, we are way passionate in what we do, and love doing what is challenging. Glad you liked it!
I never thought yall were freaks, I felt like yall all had your own story to tell, even tho it looked weird, but the things yall did and how you all dressed or acted was alot deeper and most people didn't try to understand the reasons.
@@Anna_M96 Haha same here, in Texas. I had the clothes and everything. Had a huge wallet chain and the principal tried to take it away. Being a little asshole I put it in my pocket and told her I'd charge her for sexual harassment if she dug in my pocket. Was a dick move but got to keep my chain
This WAS the world's intro at least music video wise to intro nu metal back in that summer in late 90s..this was the intro to your house. Korn also kicked off live nu metal in wood stock 1999 starting out with "Are youuuuu reeeadddddy?!?!" Blind basically saying we kicking this shit off for nu metal The are essentially the god father of numetal
Start from the beginning: Korn - Blind Their entire first album is amazing. The song Clown has one of the greatest studio outtakes ever. Go through the whole album, but be forewarned that Daddy is a screwed up song as well as an inside as to why Jonathan Davis writes the way he does.
Daddy is def a screwed up song. People on the internet SUCK so bad they voted on Daddy to be the first KoRn song Brad & Lex (another reaction channel I watch) listen/React to. IMO I don't believe those people to be true KoRn fans or just terrible people. I think so have to have a sense of the band before you can really get that song and not be like "WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST LISTEN TO?" lol. I do agree it's a great album and Daddy is a must listen but you did the right thing and gave them a warning.
He's talking about how the industry treat their artists like property, like dogs (freaks) on a leash. Like their lives are no longer their own once they sign on the dotted line.
I was one of those kids in all black drawing in the back of the class not giving two f's about what the teacher was saying..ive felt and seen the judgment in kids faces. Thank you for recognizing that
Ice Cube did a lot of music with Korn. This song you did has a lot of Ice Cube on the album but Ice Cube did a song on one of his own albums with Korn called Fuck Dying.
That switch up is so sick, good heavy rock has this ability to make you feel completely pumped up from a moment like that in a song. Foo fighters pretender gives you that powerful feeling too.
Back when Korn ruled the world!!! Good reaction, loved the breakdown and even if the meaning is not really what you first thougth, I can see how you would think that and it´s a very interesting interpretation of the lyrics. And that´s what a first reaction is all about! Because everybody who listens to songs for the first time (this one or other songs) has their own interpretation. Back in the day I thougth it was about being crazy or something, and only years later I read about the meaning. It´s all good, and yes Asia, we have all been kids and did and think in a way that we now know it´swrong :) Peace!
Wow! I love how you guys took the time to interpret this song. GREAT job!!!! Thank you!! Asia, when you said “shots fired” it really helped me to more fully understand the song. 👍😊
After a few years / tours Their lead guitarist went to Christianity, not sure of the whole story but after years an years of drugs an bad choices He’s a man of god now
I like you guys for listening and understanding Korn and people like us. To me, Korn is a type a song that will help me out when I'm low and something to enjoy. I use to be hip-hop head and r&b, but as soon as I aged on my early 20s I was open to other music genre's. Korn fan for life!
I know you put this video out quite some time ago but I wanted to share a couple things. KoЯn really became the voice for so many people suffering from PTSD, childhood trauma and I've never heard another artist so perfectly describe Dissociative Disorders in their music. There's a clip of Obama making a funny joke about being mistaken for Jonathan Davis (lead singer of KoЯn). It was about a mix up when JD was visiting veterans in the hospital when they came back from overseas. Their official video Falling Away From Me picks up exactly where this one left off. I think that video gives a good understanding of where they are coming from. I don't know if you can truly understand KoЯn until you've listened to the song Daddy and what happens at the end of that song. I'm grateful they kept the recording going because (along with many other people) it was the first time I stopped feeling alone in what I was going through. Daddy has a quite number of reactions and I would say if you choose to listen to it, just be prepared. But it's an important song, a necessary song. You talked about why they had a letter backwards in their name. If you look at that and many of their album covers (Untouchables, Serenity of Suffering, Issues, etc) you'll see themes of a skewed childhood. It's nothing anyone should have to live through, but for those of us that did and also suffered other events that caused PTSD, this band has been a life saver. You can go on any video of theirs and someone in the comments will say, "This band saved my life, literally!" And that's true for me too. Thanks Asia and BJ for giving this band some love and thank you JD and KoЯn.
It really is dope how open-minded you both are to everything in music, this is my high-school years to a T, but never in my life did I think I'd see you two reacting to it. Killing it with the uploads, much love ya'll. Funny thing is I didn't appreciate rap until I was like 30 because I didn't grow up with it, now it's my favorite genre. But just like ya'll the older I get the more I appreciate musicality in any genre. The lead-up to the "go!" then the riff gives me goosebumps every time on this song. Just so good. Cheers.
Here is a few popular ones that you guys should react to...Down with the sickness by Disturbed, Toxicity by System of a Down, Bodies by Drowning Pool, Happy by Mudvayne, Duality by Slipknot. Seriously though, I rarely see anyone reacting to Mudvayne so it would be awesome to see you guys check em out. Love you guys!
This video was THE SHIT back in ‘99. It was on MTV at least once an hour, back when they actually played videos. I was 21 & in my first apartment back then. Man this brought back memories.
Your honesty and genuine reaction open minded approach to different musical genre and styles. You're a great team keeping it real From Toronto Canada peace to all one love
It's not kids. Adults have the closed minds, we project that onto our kids. Congrats on opening your "eye" to another level. I'm trying to keep an open minds eye too.
Korn - Clown Korn - Ball Tongue Korn - Cameltosis Korn - Kick the P.A. Korn - Reclaim My Place Korn - Wake Up Korn - Make Me Bad Korn - Got the Life Korn - Thoughtless Korn - Wicked ft. Chino of Deftones
I listen to all genres and I love watching reactions and hearing that light bulb moment of “now I see why people love this. It’s good music”. Awesome. You should react to Oasis - Champagne Supernova
I've seen Korn play with Snoop on stage back in the late 90's. It was either in Milwaukee or Alpine Valley, I can't remember anymore. lol I've seen them several time.
I really enjoyed this reaction, so much so that I just subscribed! I was one of those kids in high school. When I tried to fit in, I was bullied, until I found my group of friends & outcasts, & embraced my weirdness, finally found where I fit in, but life has never been easy... I really appreciated what you said about being unfairly judged for being different, and that we're all just people at the end of the day, & you never know what someone is going through in their life. I discovered Korn in the 7th grade, when I was going through a really hard time in my life, & they've been my favorite band ever since, their music got me through it. Jonathan Davis (lead singer) writes all the lyrics, & he draws from his own life experiences, it's like a release for him, kind of therapeutic. I've been through a lot of the same experiences in life as Johnathan, so I can really relate to Korn's music, it's so emotionally compelling. And their music is so heavy, but groovy, but angry, but creepy...so many different sounds, they're so unique. Anyway, loved the reaction, I can't wait for more Korn reactions, that's why I subscribed, keep 'em coming! Thanks you guys!
A lot of what you‘ll find is that KoRn very much taps into the underbelly of society, and they bring attention to the subjugated and downtrodden. They can connect to fans who feel like they have issues, and to many the music is therapeutic. The growls and screaming are more than just ear candy, a lot of it is using music to release your frustration and pain. I’m not going to suggest that you don’t have that in hip hop, but when you consider even the band playing, like how do you make a guitar sound sad? How do you express anger or suffering through a guitar? These guys have had years to master their instruments, and their music is popular because it resonates within all of us. The “Nu Metal” sound blends hip hop and metal elements, and reminds us that wherever you’re from, we have something in common. Everyone struggles with mental health in some form or another, KoRn lets us know that it’s ok. I’d suggest “Make me bad” or “Falling away from me” from the older catalogue. The newer KoRn music is great too, and they come back with new energy. You’ll notice the difference if you continue down this hole (I hope you do).
We all judge based on looks. Those same kids looked at you and thought "why do they wear those shoes, those sweaters, etc" - Hands down easiest way to judge someone is on their outwards appearance, we all do it. They dressed that way because that is simply the way they expressed themselves with others like them. For instance I can't understand why someone would dress in an NFL sports shirt, unless they are playing sports currently in the NFL. I think what I wear is "normal" but it's only normal to people who think the same way I do. Not saying it's right - but it's our nature. Peace to all, love your clothes, love your music, love your art - difference is what makes us great, we just gotta stop hating over it!
The lead guitarist for Korn, Brian "Head" Welch, is a born again Christian now and is still with Korn but also has a Christian metal band called Love & Death. Their new album is called Perfectly Preserved and is really good. It has a lot of heavy guitar riffs and Head does all of the harsh vocals for the band.
I can see why you would hear this and think "you could rap to this". This album has that kind of groove to it and JD kinda talk-sings through the verses. You may wanna check "falling away from me", the music video picks up from this one and the song itself is super iconic and cool.
~* I was so seen as being a goodie goodie ... muh friends got in muh car... I blasted me some Korn..24-7...I danced sooo hard..sang and played muh guitar.. well air one ;) hahah *~
Rock- known for meaning in lyrics, good musicians, beat switches, (can go single time, half time, double time). Sooo much to rock music! Metal head since 11yrs old in the ‘80’s. Started in middle school in Germany. Love all genres though but rock metal is my fav. Avenged Sevenfold is a HUgE band that is a good rabbit hole. Their Live in the LBC concert made me a fan
High school in the 90s was rough. I was goth all day. I think the way i dressed stemmed from The Crow and NIN. Its like you're showing your suffering through style. Instead of peacocking in the club you're bummed out hiding in the shadows🤘
I worked late sooo tired... but love your channel...and esp when your listening to muh babiez Korn...Listen to Daddy.. why I love them.. opened up his life to us ... love you2*~
Another Great Reaction 🙏 Their video for 'Falling Away From Me' is a continuation from this, so I'd love to see you react to it. Rock/Metal/Alternative really speaks to the Lost, the Frustrated, the Abused, the Unloved, but there's so much positivity to be found in it as well. It got a lot of us through tough times. Nirvana opened the door for me when I was a teenager.
I was exposed to metal in 2003. A friend of mine gave me the very first Slipknot album in 9th grade. And I loved it! It was crazy and like nothing I had ever heard before! Before that I always listened to hip-hop and r&b. Because I grew up in the inner city. But once My parents moved us to the suburbs . I got exposed to so many different music genres. And I hated living in the suburbs at the time. But now I appreciate it ! Because it made me who I am today. And yes I use to look at the metal and punk kids like they were weird,lol. But once I really started digging into metal a few years ago, it’s really opened my eyes to the amount of talent they have! And now I can’t get enough of it,lol.
As older people, any of us can feel like a freak on a leash at any time really...our jobs, our bosses, our family lives, our spouses, our friends, our society, our position, our race, our situation, our economic status...any of this can make any of this feel this way.
You get a like from me. You nailed the meaning of the song and even had a mature objective retrospective. It is exactly that, 'shot's fired'. When the little girl puts the bullet back in his hand it's just like, hey, kids are kids and even adults sometimes don't grow out of it. Legit, good shit.
I am so glad that you let the song open your eyes up to different perspectives. It was beautiful to see. If you’re into Korn and there style/messages; I highly recommend Disturbed. They have some hard songs with deep meanings and ballads that cut right into the soul. Plus, their singer has a distinct voice with cantor and operatic vocal training.
Nice moment you two were discussing the high school people who might be a bit different than mainstream. Frankly, really recognisable, and very true and honoust, appreciated. This particular song is not fully about this topic, though KoRn still offer T-shirt saying ‘Still a Freak’. Not because people are freaks, no one is, but to remind people are different, and nothing wrong with that. Maybe check out ‘Clown’ by KoRn, fits this theme, the band didn’t have a smooth ride themselves in life, especially Jonathan. Anyhow, I really like your reacties, keep it up!

I never thought yall were freaks, I felt like yall all had your own story to tell, even tho it looked weird, but the things yall did and how you all dressed or acted was alot deeper and most people didn't try to understand the reasons.

A very big one lol

This is from 1998, pure classic. Korn is a one of a kind band that influranced a lot of bands.
This WAS the world's intro at least music video wise to intro nu metal back in that summer in late 90s..this was the intro to your house. Korn also kicked off live nu metal in wood stock 1999 starting out with

Yall those heavy breakdowns is where it's at with this type of music. As a metal head and musician myself those beat drops is what we live for 🤘🤘🤘 🎶🎵
5:36 "somebody could kinda rap over this" You should try: Korn- Children of the KoRn. Keep up the good work, enjoying your content
Ice Cube
The foundation of Nu Metal was indeed the fusion of Hip Hop rhythms with Metal guitars. BJ felt was feeling a familiar beat. : )
Korn had alot of song with Ice Cube too
If I am not mistaken, the video for their song Falling Away From Me starts off exactly where this one ends. Worth checking out.
It's about the music industry... he's the freak on a leash,how the industry tries to control u

One of my favorite Korn songs. It's a deep song when you break down the lyrics.
Korn - “make me bad” and “got the life”
Make Me Bad to
One of the best songs of our generation... Love u guys and what your doing!!.. seeing all angles of life!!
Korn is amazing! Been a huge fan since 94' and was one of those people!! Lol great reaction!!!!
Korn was the first band l took my teenage kids to see in concert, they're in their 30's now🤟😜
Wow! I love how you guys took the time to interpret this song. GREAT job!!!! Thank you!! Asia, when you said “shots fired” it really helped me to more fully understand the song. 👍😊
Our pleasure!
Another good reaction guys. Welcome to Nu Metal.....another good Nu Metal band is Sevendust - Denial
🙌🏻 🙌🏻
Hell yeah man🤘

They absolutely have a hip hop influence. They did a song with NAS too.
You guys go DEEP into music and I'm HERE FOR IT!!!!

The first time yall heard this song was 18 hours ago? The song is almost 20 years old.
it’s 23
They’re probably only in their mid 20s. This song is as old as them.
@@ryanatorryanson9535 Mid 20's? In the video she clearly talks about being in high school when Korn was popular

All great songs
This song is actually 23 years old. This is the song/album (Follow The Leader) that got me into KoRn at 12 years old
Asia and BJ finna be metal heads 😆🤟🏼
I bought this CD when it came out in 98. Damn that was a while ago.
Oh yeah, I had my Korn shirt, and Korn tapestry poster. Seen them in concert. It was AWESOME!
Listening to music is so different, when listening as a music lover vs a musician.
This video was THE SHIT back in ‘99. It was on MTV at least once an hour, back when they actually played videos. I was 21 & in my first apartment back then. Man this brought back memories.

It's not kids. Adults have the closed minds, we project that onto our kids. Congrats on opening your "eye" to another level. I'm trying to keep an open minds eye too.
Thanks for the love. On the "eyes open" part. What is a song/video you would have for your metal viewers to experience?
Don't say, "Leave the Door Open". I instantly fell in love with that "old school" vibe.

Song is actually from the late 90's, so over two decades old which is craaaaazy. Ahead of their time.

You'll enjoy that one
*Korn (Shoots & Ladders) & (Blind)*
The band that ruled the 90s
I really like this interpretation of the song!!
So this song is about the record industry and how Johnathan Davis feels about how hes treated in it.
I really enjoyed this reaction, so much so that I just subscribed! I was one of those kids in high school. When I tried to fit in, I was bullied, until I found my group of friends & outcasts, & embraced my weirdness, finally found where I fit in, but life has never been easy... I really appreciated what you said about being unfairly judged for being different, and that we're all just people at the end of the day, & you never know what someone is going through in their life.
I discovered Korn in the 7th grade, when I was going through a really hard time in my life, & they've been my favorite band ever since, their music got me through it. Jonathan Davis (lead singer) writes all the lyrics, & he draws from his own life experiences, it's like a release for him, kind of therapeutic. I've been through a lot of the same experiences in life as Johnathan, so I can really relate to Korn's music, it's so emotionally compelling. And their music is so heavy, but groovy, but angry, but creepy...so many different sounds, they're so unique. Anyway, loved the reaction, I can't wait for more Korn reactions, that's why I subscribed, keep 'em coming! Thanks you guys!
A lot of what you‘ll find is that KoRn very much taps into the underbelly of society, and they bring attention to the subjugated and downtrodden. They can connect to fans who feel like they have issues, and to many the music is therapeutic. The growls and screaming are more than just ear candy, a lot of it is using music to release your frustration and pain. I’m not going to suggest that you don’t have that in hip hop, but when you consider even the band playing, like how do you make a guitar sound sad? How do you express anger or suffering through a guitar? These guys have had years to master their instruments, and their music is popular because it resonates within all of us. The “Nu Metal” sound blends hip hop and metal elements, and reminds us that wherever you’re from, we have something in common. Everyone struggles with mental health in some form or another, KoRn lets us know that it’s ok.
I’d suggest “Make me bad” or “Falling away from me” from the older catalogue. The newer KoRn music is great too, and they come back with new energy. You’ll notice the difference if you continue down this hole (I hope you do).
As someone who used to do the all-black, dark type of style, I appreciate when people can look at that with more understanding than judgement.
We all judge based on looks. Those same kids looked at you and thought "why do they wear those shoes, those sweaters, etc" - Hands down easiest way to judge someone is on their outwards appearance, we all do it. They dressed that way because that is simply the way they expressed themselves with others like them. For instance I can't understand why someone would dress in an NFL sports shirt, unless they are playing sports currently in the NFL. I think what I wear is "normal" but it's only normal to people who think the same way I do. Not saying it's right - but it's our nature. Peace to all, love your clothes, love your music, love your art - difference is what makes us great, we just gotta stop hating over it!

Started in middle school in Germany. Love all genres though but rock metal is my fav. Avenged Sevenfold is a HUgE band that is a good rabbit hole. Their Live in the LBC concert made me a fan
For John Davis(singer) the meaning of most songs is very meaningful/personal.
The R is backwards in KORN for a nod to kids R is that some of them worked at as kids.
BJ so patient lol he like "Babe, can I please start the video back up"?!
High school in the 90s was rough. I was goth all day. I think the way i dressed stemmed from The Crow and NIN. Its like you're showing your suffering through style. Instead of peacocking in the club you're bummed out hiding in the shadows🤘
Notice when you see the band all the bullet holes in the walls around them from their previous experiences
At the end of the song is what I call him going full cookie monster and I love it.
This song is legit the reason I started watching reaction videos. Thanks, you two.
I worked late sooo tired... but love your channel...and esp when your listening to muh babiez Korn...Listen to Daddy.. why I love them.. opened up his life to us ... love you2*~
I really liked your fresh thoughts on the video with the bullet. Never thought about it this way all these years lol
Love the reaction and respect you give to the music… LOVE the Cam jersey!!! Much Love from Charlotte 🤘🏼
Another Great Reaction 🙏 Their video for 'Falling Away From Me' is a continuation from this, so I'd love to see you react to it.
Rock/Metal/Alternative really speaks to the Lost, the Frustrated, the Abused, the Unloved, but there's so much positivity to be found in it as well. It got a lot of us through tough times. Nirvana opened the door for me when I was a teenager.
I was exposed to metal in 2003. A friend of mine gave me the very first Slipknot album in 9th grade. And I loved it! It was crazy and like nothing I had ever heard before! Before that I always listened to hip-hop and r&b. Because I grew up in the inner city. But once My parents moved us to the suburbs . I got exposed to so many different music genres. And I hated living in the suburbs at the time. But now I appreciate it ! Because it made me who I am today. And yes I use to look at the metal and punk kids like they were weird,lol. But once I really started digging into metal a few years ago, it’s really opened my eyes to the amount of talent they have! And now I can’t get enough of it,lol.
the bullet is a metaphore. It actually represents judgement
Yeah this song came out a lot longer ago a lot of people look at RUclips dates this song came out in like 1998
Thank god the culture barriers are breaking down love you guys for this......
The video was done by Todd MacFarlane, Spawn creator. His art is dark and captivating.
this band is a part of the 90s 2000s crossover/ New Metal beginnings
As older people, any of us can feel like a freak on a leash at any time really...our jobs, our bosses, our family lives, our spouses, our friends, our society, our position, our race, our situation, our economic status...any of this can make any of this feel this way.
You get a like from me. You nailed the meaning of the song and even had a mature objective retrospective. It is exactly that, 'shot's fired'. When the little girl puts the bullet back in his hand it's just like, hey, kids are kids and even adults sometimes don't grow out of it. Legit, good shit.
Super underrated reaction channel. You guys are awesome
This song doesn't just feel a little hip-hop, it has a little bit of a jazz feel as well.
I am so glad that you let the song open your eyes up to different perspectives. It was beautiful to see. If you’re into Korn and there style/messages; I highly recommend Disturbed. They have some hard songs with deep meanings and ballads that cut right into the soul. Plus, their singer has a distinct voice with cantor and operatic vocal training.
Korn shirts back in the day...... we must still be back there 😅😅
"this song is like what, 11 years old?", close enough, 1998
Asia, you nailed it. And I really appreciate a d respect your honesty and humility. Growth
Still are huge,and they have a heavy hip hop influence
Nice moment you two were discussing the high school people who might be a bit different than mainstream. Frankly, really recognisable, and very true and honoust, appreciated.
This particular song is not fully about this topic, though KoRn still offer T-shirt saying ‘Still a Freak’. Not because people are freaks, no one is, but to remind people are different, and nothing wrong with that.
Maybe check out ‘Clown’ by KoRn, fits this theme, the band didn’t have a smooth ride themselves in life, especially Jonathan.
Anyhow, I really like your reacties, keep it up!
It's a great example of how many people every day in life "dodge a bullet" in one way or another
Never went to High School. The few days I went to school in Middle School I wore gorilla slippers and 30" pants at the heel
