First Time Reaction | Korn - "Shoots and Ladders"

There was nothing like korns first album. I hadn’t heard anything like it. And haven’t since.

This album will help anybody through tough times younger or older. This album will help with depression, bullying, drugs or any other big issues people go through. Korn will reach into your chest, mess with your brain, give you motivation and hug and put their hand on your shoulder. Great band and deserve all the respect.

[@cptchaotic]

“Ring around the Rosies” refers to the red rings that started to develop on plague victim's skin. These red rashes, that were circular, would later develop into large, and very painful black boils on the skin. “Pockets Full of Posies” stems from the lack of knowledge at the time about how diseases spread. It was believed that disease was spread through bad smells, which means that people held bunches of flowers to their faces when going out in public, to protect themselves from bad smells. "Ashes, Ashes” it’s actually about the burning of the dead bodies from the victims of the plague. “We all fall down” is about the many people who died from the plague. The falling down is said to represent death, and everyone “falls down” or dies, because the majority of the European population was wiped out during the time of the plague.

[@vladv8534]

The genre started with two bands: Korn and Deftones. Deftones will bring you the sensual side of Nu-Metal and they have a different heaviness compared to Korn. You'll like it. Great reaction.

[@megatryn]

Deftones is one of the band that has stayed with me through 24 years since I first found them. They have released on a regular basis and not released a single album I haven't liked and definitely have a distinct sound. Well worth checking out.

[@vladv8534]

[@8301TheJMan]

Deftones also had more of a progressive rock influence as well. Similar to Mudvayne though they were way heavier than Deftones and rather than 60% Nu Metal, 20% Hard Rocker, and 20% Progressive Rock - like the Deftones were, Mudvayne was more 60% Progressive Metal, 30% Alternative Metal, 10% Nu Metal. Those two and Korn were really the three cornerstones of that scene in the late 90's to mid 2000's.

Your Facial Reaction at 8:57 is AMAZING. You did what EVERYONE DID, Myself included when FIRST hearing this song (which for me was in 1994 or 5 or whenever this first came out) Shock, awe, reverence.... Jonathans presence is so visceral and raw in this album. It is Amazing.

[@zecrillon4258]

Can confirm. I was 15 or 16 when this hit the air and that switch to Mary Had a Little Lamb blew our minds! There's a lot of vocals on that album where Jon is just being some kinda wild crazy man (a little like Mike Patton). So much amazing alternative stuff came out in '94, but these guys had something really unique. IIRC the guitarists, Munky and Head, did some unusual tuning on 7-string guitars which had them really stand out from everything else.

[@Theomite]

Lucky. For me, "Blind" was the one we couldn't get over so only the guy we knew who had the cassette got to listen to the whole thing. We didn't think you could get harder than "Blind" but we were in high school and the album was new so...

As a proud SCOTSMAN, I really appreciate the bagpipes. Also love that Jonathan loves his Scottish ancestory and wears a kilt, even not a usual kilt, doesnt matter, its different and cool. I wish when I was 18 I appreciated the music more, as I was young when they were massive like Woodstock 99, shame I didn't travel over from Scotland for this. Love your channel keeping this music alive.

[@Ercarret]

One fun thing about this song is that it makes absolutely NO SENSE if you didn't grow up with those particular nursery rhymes. Being Swedish, I grew up with a completely different set of nursery rhymes, so this song was always just...so odd. Hahahaha. As for the next song by Korn, I can recommend Blind. Especially the live performance at Rock Am Ring 2007. I think you've only reacted to studio album versions of Korn songs, right? It's high time to introduce you to their live performances. They are crazy. Blind was the first song on their debut album, and it *really* set the tone for them. Can't be a better song to introduce yourself to the world with. Bonus: that performance features Joey Jordison on drums.

[@teugene5850]

Korn might be the most influential band of the 90s... combined so many different genres... Grunge, Metal, Funk, Hip Hop,

[@Zapafaz]

I'm here to recommend two of Korn's biggest influences again, as per the Wikipedia article on Korn: Mr. Bungle and Faith No More. Both have the same singer - Mike Patton - though Faith No More had a different singer for their 1985 and 1987 albums. For Mr. Bungle, their self-titled album (1991) is the most relevant for influence, though fair warning: it is weird. Check out 'Carousel', 'Egg' (stop at ~7min 30s if you want, the rest is a recording of them talking on a train...) and 'Quote Unquote' - formerly known as 'Travolta'. With Faith No More, it depends: The Real Thing (1989) is the album that got popular, with 'Epic' getting loads of play to the point that some people call the band a one hit wonder; 'Falling To Pieces' and 'Surprise! You're Dead' are also fantastic. I'd argue Angel Dust (1992), their subsequent release, is more influential and just all around a better album. My favorite tracks from that one are probably 'A Small Victory', 'Midlife Crisis', and... I'm gonna censor the title: 'J***lobber', but it's really hard to single out tracks since the entire thing is absolutely killer. Finally, if you want more Mr. Bungle, California (1999) is consistently incredible; start with 'Retrovertigo', then maybe 'Goodbye Sober Day' and 'The Air-conditioned Nightmare', then... the rest of the album.

Music is art, and it’s interpretation is up to the listener. And the Ring around the rosey song dates back to the Bubonic plague.

This is one of the greatest and darkest debut metal albums of all time. It's my personal favorite, when I bought it in 1994 it blew my mind and it still does til this day.

Some great Jonathan Davis bagpipes here too.

[@Logan-ed4pu]

I'm from small town western Kansas. I remember when I was 16 in 1999. Two buddies of mine and I were cruising around town in the summer time, blaring rock and metal music from the car with the windows down. We were sitting at a stop light when this song came on. The poor person next to us wasn't ready. Little ole lady from a much more conservative time. First, there was confusion as she heard bagpipes coming from the car next to her. Then, even more confusion to see these bagpipes were being enjoyed by 3 teenage boys dressed all in black, baseball caps sporting different band logos, and deeply black wrap around sunglasses like the little edge lords we thought we were. That confusion turned into abject terror when the guitars and drums kicked in, and we started nodding our in head unison to the beat all while looking right at her. I've never watched a little old lady drive so fast in my life when the light turned green. We were just jamming and meant no harm.

[@Argrouk]

Scotland loves Korn, and JD loves us and the pipes and kilt. I was in the crowd of a Glasgow gig on his birthday. The band brought out a cake, and the crowd sang happy birthday, it was awesome.

This song is new to me and I didn't know he 's a piper, but very impressed. Bearing in mind many nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and children's stories are really dark . And so was his childhood so I get it. Knick knack Paddy Whack is very disturbing given what he went through. (I'd say think about it but really you can't unthink it so don't) The power of Korn I'd that they convey so much raw emotion, so much of it ugly.

Then you just hear the bagpipes, and finally a spotlight hits Jonathan walking in front of the stage by security.

I was looking through your Rammstein reactions I realized you haven't done it yet, which surprised me. Love the channel so much, keep it up and enjoy the music.

One of the greatest smacks in the face when this came out,Legendary Korn

[@peterbell3199]

Seeing Korn live, and the moment the bagpipes start. What a rush!

[@coryd5225]

The beauty of this song is the innocents of the nursery rhymes..but talking about the dark meanings of each of them..🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@kourtjestr552]

Their Self Title was the very best one. So much raw undeveloped but talented sound. I love this whole album and hope you do a rection for every song. That way we could see your reaction in chronological order of each song

“Ring around a rosie” was the red circular rash that developed on those with the plaque. “Pocket full of posies” many people carried posies around in their pockets as it was thought to ward of catching the plaque “Achoo - achoo, we all fall down” sneezing, coughing, collapse and die. Pretty damn grim

A lot of childhood nursery rhymes were to help children deal death in the Middle Ages. Ring Around The Rosey specific was about the symptoms of The Black Death

[@puppybreath2818]

ring around the roses bc of the rash that formed on people infected by the plague, a pocket full of posies was how they marked people that died from the plague and it was "achu achu we all fall dead" in the original song sang by the children in Europe at the time.

Spot on, if you can read the lyrics. Actually you don’t have to because you got it!

The thing about hiding monsters from your kids is, they don't see the monsters, but the monsters can still see your kids. Too much innocents can be harmful also.
