First Time Hearing "FREAK ON A LEASH" by Korn

I think you'll dig the Nu Metal genre in general, its a fusion of Metal and Hip Hop. Korn is peak Nu-Metal.

[@ricardosaenz569]

I was thinking the same thing. Some of my favorite bands i grew up with were Nu Metal, Korn in particular. Maybe Rob would like the transitions in Make Me Bad, if you want even more of a rap element Children of the Korn with Ice Cube is a sleeper on Follow the Leader in my opinion.

[@metalmike6668]

I hate it, and mostly everything Korn has put out. I dislike Jonathan Davis's voice and the way the production on their songs are done. I hate the tone of the bass as well on most of their stuff.

[@davidcarter7880]

I feel like Korn must be one of the most misunderstood bands in modern genres. Much of their lyrics invoke a sense of disgust and can turn off most listeners, but, at least to me, Korn has always been about innocence lost and internal suffering that has no proper outlet. Tragedy in life with no end in sight buried by drugs and degeneracy, only to feel greater guilt when you can't find a way out of the cycle. I've never felt like I related to any of Korn's songs, but I still feel the depth. Just my take on them, and I enjoy seeing others enjoy what I like.

[@CaponeCraps]

I just saw them do this song live in Las Vegas in front of 65,000 people last weekend, it was AMAZING!!! First time seeing them live...

I am old and so NuMetal was my kids music, I kind of just ignored it. A few years back they were at Aftershock and I was headed out and they came on stage, and opened with this song. No studio, no fancy shit, just Korn on a stage and they NAILED IT. Every word, every beatbox, the whole damn thing live. I have tix this year and they are back, and you know I am not walking out until they are done this time!

[@primoguerrero7928]

You vibing to the beat and breaking out a freesty is perfect cause thee band's frontman and singer, Jonathan Davis, once described their sound as "heavy-hop"! Cheers my dude!!

25 YEAR AGO THIS WHOLE ALBUM WAS GROUND BREAKING !! I remember seeing them in on tour when this album came out. they also get a lot of there influence from 90's west coast gangster rap. that same album they did a song with Ice Cube called Children of The Corn. that whole record was a massive game charger also the album that followed that up was just just as big if not bigger of a game changer. fun fact about this band. They are the band mostly responsible for the craze of the 7 string guitar and made it the go to guitar for a ton of metal bands and guitar players today !

[@benebluesman]

Can confirm.. I own a 7 string because of these guys.

[@theblackrook1277]

Korn is solidly Nu-Metal, its part of the metal genre but there is sooooooooo much more. Every sub-genre has it's own sound, style and what is tries to really pull from, Nu-Metal places a heavy hand on elements from hip-hop and leans heavier into grunge elements that were big in the late 80s to early 90s.

[@sum1zdad292]

I love the part of these rock reactions where you say it needs to transform or that you're not really getting pumped yet, because after you say that, it does and you do. And it's fantastic to watch.

[@thepersonwithaface45]

'twisted transistor' is a must listen to if you enjoy korn imo, my favorite korn song ATM is 'the game is over' off of their album 'the paradigm shift', super slept on song, might make a good video!

Relatively new subscriber, but I've been watching your backlog of stuff, and you're really killing it. Defs looking forward to whatever you toss out there. In the realm of recommendations, I think Rammstein's song Mein Herz Brennt would be right up your alley, what with Till's (lead singer) expert vocal inflections, and the dynamic nature of the group's talented instrumentation.

100! Completely agree, I think w/ bands in the early 00s, the music industry rule was like "WE NEED TO REPEAT A - B - A - B" for probable radio / popularity / recognizable / idk for some stupid bullshit reason instead of just letting the artists make the music themselves from the first note to the last

[@DustyTravellers]

This song is actually really deep, I primarily mean the lyrics. It is very complex and takes a certain kind of thinking. It is about pain, about having to hold back a part of you, believing you would not be accepted for you full self. It is in a way about fear of being canceled, but instead of KZbin censor going to a mental asylum, jail or similar.
