Munky and Head were never the most technical players but they had a great sound and made the most of the skills they had. Underrated guitarists.

"This is my signature Bass....(points to the headstock)...right there's my signature!" You're awesome Fieldy.

In the late 90s during high school Brian Welch was a personal hero of mine and inspired me to play guitar. It broke my heart when he left KoRn, but the fact that he did it to clean himself up and now he’s just so energetic and full of life again makes me so happy. So many great musicians pass on early because of overdose or suicide. The fact KoRn is still going strong, I’m very proud of these guys. I never got to superstar status but I at least got good enough where I’ve been in some great bands and got to play some large shows. Times I will never forget, now I’m just an average working stiff but I still write and play music as a hobby.

I can't believe they do all those crazy sounds with such simple pedalboards, they sound like nobody else, using the same things that anyone else has. That's awesome creativity.

Head and Munkey are underrated in terms of their contributions to metal, IMO. Like he said, they were searching for 7 strings and playing detuned, low ass riffs when many players were wearing flannel and trying to sound like Nirvana.

These guys seem like the nicest dudes.

Big kudos to all 3 of them for actually doing their own Rig Rundown, rather than passing it off to their tech.

Munky is a cool dude, met him at Disneyland a long time ago. Me and Brian/Fieldy have the same Shepherd 😉

Hey Ibanez, that was money well spend.

Man, everybody should thank Korn for making 7 strings popular :D Great music too :)

"The guitar straps would come loose and we would kick them you know" no I don't know lmao

i love korn. ive been listening to them since i was a kid, 20 years ago. now im only beginning to understand the genius behind the effects and the way they handled their instruments. respect

You and Munky were rated as some of the top 100 guitarists in the world. _We paid them for that_

Fieldy truly is a sick dude. All the guys in Korn are unicorn goats in terms of what they invented for their style an sounds.

I can’t help but laugh while Munky has to hold the mic while he talks and tries to handle the guitars with his other hand while Bolinger just stands there

He's got some of the coolest Ibanez guitars. Every single tour over the last 25 years he'd get a whole new lineup of custom guitars. Like the blue and white one with the paw on fret 12. Many others

I like how Head describes John 5's playing style

You look at the pedalboard of this guys and I saw the pedal board of Tom Morello in this channel as well. You hear the sounds they make and you imagine this U2 Edge kind of complicated rag and then realize is mainly a few very old, simple, cheap pedals and a lot of fun and creativity with them. This guys of Korn may not be the best players out there but they definitely set up a very define style and sound that inspire thoundsends over the year. Yet another example of "is not what you have but what you do with it" Good for them.

Korn are one of those bands that instead of being embarrassed you were proud to have been in to them.

I love watching these when they actually talk to the guitarist instead of the tech. The tech probably knows more about the gear, but it's always interesting to hear the guitarist talk about their own stuff.

First time I saw a metal zone on a platinum selling professional pedal board

If I ever watched a Korn video like this when I was a teenager in the mid-90's I'd go completely nuts lol

I'm glad they came to Anchorage Alaska. The best concert . Thanks guys!

I’ve never been into these guys- I was a dickhead elitist death and black metal guy when they first can around (still am lol)- but they seem like awesome people and extremely knowledgeable and devoted to their music. Big ups to Korn.

Such a RIDICULOUS tone!!! I never appreciated their sound until I got a 7 string with their "A" tuning.....so fun to play to backing tracks.

Do a rig rundown with WES BORLAND

not a Korn fan but this was interesting to watch

These guys are the reason I play guitar for almost 10 years now, started when I was in high school.

No one Every guitar god ever: *Wears glasses at night*

I love Korn! What a great band! Nobody on the planet sounds like them. Another band I first saw on Beavis and Butt-Head. I've seen them twice live.

i can't believe you didn't film the fight to get the mic back

Another awesome rig rundown! Great work, John!

just so down to earth dudes! great job!

Man I miss the K7's.

need to do new rigrundown for korn

welcome to rig rundown featuring the brightest light in the world

Kick drum sound check starts at 11:39

Took my son to see Korn and AIC a couple years ago in NY. They kick so much ass live.

GENIUS! I never thought of doing the tape on on the pickup. My jag's string always gets caught under the pickup!

These guys were my idols back when I was a teenager, and after all these years of success you can see how down to earth they are. I mean, they are rockstars but act like simple guys.

I’m weak he uses a metal zone but to get a shitty AM radio sound I hope you are happy boss

I had taken a break from playing when Korn came out. They brought me back.

'thickening this bit here' is called a volute, and it's been around a lot longer than Korn has...

Phenolic fretboards! Looks incredible

The whole setup is so nice and simple generally speaking it's quite refreshing.

Head's thick string is a heavier gauge than Meshuggah use on their 8 strings!

John Bohlinger is not even holding the mic now....For goodness' sake get Charles Sauffley on it guys

All Munky’s guitars looks frickin badass

these guys have such a signature super sonic sound. can´t believe they keep it so simple. very creative

i love how each guitar has it's own personality so to speak.

I like the new cameras and mic system you have here. Looks professional and now the mic can be farther away and less awkward, and it sounds great. Nice work PG!

Still running my rv5 and dd3 love em and they last forever

such humble guys....

Always a blast when you can see what they use

That "thickening of the neck" is called a volute, and has been around for over a hundred years. Would have been hard to patent that XD

Didn't realize Head played a baritone electric. I got an RGIB21 over a year ago and I love it. I keep it in the standard B tuning and it sounds awesome. It's got the EMG active pickups in it which sound good. I might switch them out for passive in another year.

Exactly you find a favorite guitar you keep using it

these guys inspired me to play guitar and bass (:

2022 and I still love this

Never, never, never let go you microphone :/ you are unarmed!

I like this new guy doing the Rig Rundowns. At least he seems to know and care about what the guitarist is talking about and doesn't cut them off.

If anyone is listening to the new generation of metalcore/numetal/death core then you know these bands wouldn’t exist without KORN but mainly Head and Munky’s contribution to the scene. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I remember seeing korn years back and they had at least 12 different amps on stage with them

I absolutely adore the incredible low-end they obtain on their albums. Issues and Follow The Leader have incredibly deep and full sounding guitar tones.

"Yeah" and "You know" are Munkys favorite words.

These guys are smart, including the guitar/bass tech. I want this tech working for me!

Interesting hearing Munky talk about those original Ibanez guitars...I'd think if anyone could go out there and purchase a bunch of older ones it would be him! awesome interview even though I've watched this many times...always fun to come back and give it a listen!

I managed to save enough for a K5 about 10 years ago. Best bass I've ever owned.

head is awesome. still funny like in the good ol' "who then now" movies.

That intro reminds me of the solo from Extreme - Rest In Peace there's one for ya... Rig Rundown - Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme) oh and nice work from all of the members and tech Jim Otell

Munky is such a cool guy, passing 30 is no big deal anymore

Munky got me into the ibanez guitars been hooked ever since 😎

I have an original UV-7PWH, because of him. Its something special for sure.

Not a Korn fan but big fan of Ibanez with a fixed bridge, I could jump around years ago and the Ibanez would stay in tune!

Iceberg, lol. Ibanez Iceman! Thanks, Head, now I want some lettuce

I miss Rebecca Dirks.

pretty cool Ibanez commercial......thanks for posting.

it always somewhat surprised me that their guitars never sported active EMG pickups instead of your standard passive pickups. Especially because they tune a whole step down. I think the reason why I've always wondered this mainly because I recall an article where they described how muddy their heavy tones were to record during the first record, and that was essentially attributed to the pickup technology not being where it needed to decrease the mud in the signal.

I went to go see KoRn live in L.A. and I was lucky enough to catch HEADS pick!!. I swear it was meant to be because it was a perfect catch. I couldn’t believe it, I bought a acrylic case and hung it on my wall. It’s a pretty funny pick too, It’s his face photoshopped onto Conan the Barbarians body, lol. 😂😂😂🤘🏻🔥

Amazing Video, thank You!

that black bass is love, god damn i want it

Wow... I miss Rebecca Dirks! She held on to the mic so musicians didn't have to do their own Rig Rundown lol

First time I’ve seen an artist hold their own mic on rig rundown

Mess Boogie should make Fieldy a signature M-2000 head. All with same specs. He has used those heads since 1995 Life is Peachy album. I met him back stage on life is Peachy tour and he told me they are the best heads ever built and he still plays through them to this day. Thats dedication.

Exelente periodista, muy preparado. Es notorio que sabe lo que dice. 👏

colour strings are pretty cool

Head is just the coolest guy ever!

As a long time fan and equally guitar nerdy as them Thing I like most about their guitar sound is that Korn's tone has a certain growl to it that some folks tuning lower don't even get.

I bought a schecter diamond series seven string and the first thing I did was learn "Twist." Also, turns out most of Korn's stuff is in down a whole step in A but "Twist" is in A#. So i learned twist but now I have to retune and adjust my intonation to learn more Korn.

For the genre they play... how long they've played it and with age and life experiences they all seem to dig who they are and playing in what has to be borderline classic rock at this point thats whats up... im 35 right now and if i walked into a concert and saw them playing freak on a leash i would instantly feel like i was elementary school and that would kick ass

I like Head :)

I find it funny that the video is sponsored by 'Reunion Blues', and Korn has just reunited!

I played a gig in Camden in the 90's and all of Korn, except Davis, were in the bar afterwards - it struck me how tiny they all are! I mean I'm short but they are all like 5ft!

Well done Korn for keeping it simple

Give the artist a wireless mic so he can use both hands.

I would like all these in left hand please...:D

Head is hilarious, he’s my fav

if you turn the volume up on the xp100 too high, it causes a lot of clipping

Props to thins guy for interviewing folk artists at the Ryman and then Korn

The bass is so sick
