What is the strange history of Korn, the inventors of nu-metal? I look at:
* Pre-Korn bands LAPD and Sexart, getting Jonathan Davis, Ross Robinson, and the Korn demo aka "Neidermayer's Mind"
* Early Korn albums including self-titled ("Blind," "Daddy", etc), "Life Is Peachy," "Issues" and "Follow The Leader"
* How they exploded with videos like "Freak On A Leash," "Got The Life" and "Falling Away From Me"
* The Family Values tour and departure of Brian "Head" Welch and David Silveria

People never give korn the credit they truly deserve. Everyone always says “oh nirvana was the last great band.” And that’s simply not true. Korn carried the torch and literally inspired multiple genres and even sub genres as well. We wouldn’t have trap metal or even dubstep metal or modern metalcore without korn.

Prong and static x launched me into metal even more but without zombie or korn I'd have only been on 90s alternative and shit like bush and pearl jam lol

I first heard Korn in 1994. My babysitter’s boyfriend had this old K5 Blazer with 15 inch subwoofers in the back and he would play the self titled album on that system.

Even members from the band Hed PE would attend their shows when they first started out in the Huntington Beach area, I heard the guys from Hed PE went to their shows and they said it "totally inspired them to start Hed PE" members from Coal Chamber have said the same thing and the bass player from Coal Chamber actually used Fieldys bass rig to record their first album (if You listen to Pig by Coal Chamber you can totally hear it)

He was awesome, but his technique killed his career. He never played double stroke rolls, he just muscled his way through single stroke rolling. So by the time Issues came out he couldn’t physically play a lot of the songs from earlier in his career. But musically, he was such a driving force in the band, especially in their first three albums.

I've always said Ray is an outstanding drummer but lacks whatever creative process David had when approaching the drums. David definitely had a feel to his playing that Ray can't replicate.

For me, I couldnt say he formed the bands sound but for that period of time when they were all still having fun, any member missing would have been noticeable & a loss to the overall sound that wasnt going to punch back up to the weight they were punching with because there was the sound of the sixth member which was the member that is that telepathic synchronicity that you cannot buy when a manager pays 5 competent musicians to make an album with that special something. Thats when they gind that formula only works with boy bands or weak bands & cannot produce iconic bands with legs. I loved Davids sound but I loved each members contribution & would have been dissatisfied with the sound if it had of happened earlier that it did. Love Korn.

As a person who enjoys nu metal-although, reconciling that MOST of it is undoubtedly garbage, save for the biggest names in the genre-it warms my heart greatly to see Korn receive the love and appreciation they have so rightfully always deserved. And even in the advent of the height of their career, people would say that they hated the genre EXCEPT for Korn. Moreover, through a high school crush and my emo phase turned metal phase, Korn will always be a beloved band for me. The angst, the emotions, the raw aggression and energy in their music…Simply cannot be replicated but it’s awesome that it’s inspired so many.

I definitely fell out after Issues as a listening fan. That might sound weird, but what I mean is: just because I didn’t like the sound after, I really appreciate how daring they have been with re-inventing themselves. I have always listened to the albums just to see where they were at.

I can't believe how much time has passed man. Seeing this old footage from the 90s takes me back to another world, a world I miss so dearly. How did we fall so far? I'm eternally grateful for the time I've had growing up in the 90s and getting to appreciate Korn's rise to fame and glory. They certainly had a huge impact on my life.

First time I saw Korn live was on the “Life is peachy” tour with Helmet and Limp Bizkit (right before ‘three dollar’ broke out). It was such amazing show and we had backstage passes. Unforgettable.

The recorded casette tapes of Nirvana that my sister owned in the 90s introduced me to “rock”… Korn , limpbizkit , guns nd roses and slipknot made me love the genre and made me explore their forefathers like metallica, motleycrue, black sabbath, etc, which made me love the genre even more. Even after almost 30yrs, i still love the genre and was looking forward to listening the songs everytime Korn drops an album.

@TheRecklessMetalhead Жыл бұрын
The Path of Totality got me into electronic, techno, and house music for a little until Avicii got me big. I didn't dig Deadmau5 at first after TPoT first came out, and then, there came Avcii who got me into that kind of genre. I know this is a video about metal, not techno/electronic/house, and we shouldn't be talking about that non-metal genre but Avicii's music was on a whole new level, and then I started digging Deadmau5 more. But yes, TPoT left a landmark in the music industry, and that's important.

I will never forget the first time I heard corn on the radio when I was 13 years old listening to my Sony Walkman. It was shoots and ladders. I remember that moment as if it were today. I’ve seen them in concert three times in total, I wish it were more. I love the story of this band and it’s highs and lows because the lyrics of their music helps me to overcome serious guilt that I was always feeling unnecessarily. To me they will always be my favorite band no matter what they produce. Also, they randomly introduced me a dubstep, and because of that I love dubstep now too.

Old school metalheads hate nu metal because they think 80s leather metal was the definitive era of metal but they forget that this is about heavy and dark music and metal is just one of many ways to express heaviness and darkness. For me Korn is 100% metal and the band that got me into heavy shit to this day.

It was right in the middle of their “low point” and it felt as if nobody listened to them. Im so happy to see them getting recognized now. They seem to be generally respected. Still love the band today and they are consistently my #1 most listened to in my Spotify wrapped playlists!

Like others, Korn was my 'gateway band' to metal in all its various subgenres. I was a young teen that listened to techno, then I discovered Korn in 1996. I became obsessed with Korn. A few years later around 1999, I began to branch out. I started listening to Shadows Fall, Megadeth, Metallica, Sepultura, Slayer, Pantera, In Flames, etc. This eventually led to 'traditional' heavy metal like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc. And over the years I've gotten heavily into guitarists like Buckethead, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai. I don't listen to Korn or nu-metal at all anymore, but I'll never stop respecting them. They're the reason I listen to the music I do now. This gradual evolution of musical tastes I've had over the last two decades started with them. Metal is a massive world full of various subgenres and I love most of them. And Korn was the doorway to that world for me.

When I was probably 5 or 6 years old Korn was my favorite band. I used to wake up early and put in MTV to try and catch ‘ the ‘Falling Away From Me’ video and I’d head bang to it straight through. Someone who worked with my mom happened to know one of Korn’s tour managers or something and my mom said if I drew them a picture or wrote them a letter we could maybe send it to them. I had a very cool Korn sticker I got from wanna of those 50 cent machines and I tried my best to re-draw the sticker and wrote a bunch of stuff about how they were my favorite band. A few months went by and we didn’t hear anything. I can’t remember but I think my mom got a new job or something and was no longer in contact with the manager? Anyway my mom basically said it was a lost cause, but one day an envelope with a signed band photo and a very nice note showed up. All the members signed it and wrote a little message. Was so cool to have as a little kindergartner!
