Got The Life - The Korn Story ┃ Documentary

On October 11, 1994, 5 outcasts from Bakersfield, California released one of the most important albums of the 20th century. Their self-titled debut record which was released via independent Los Angeles label Immortal, would come to be seen by many as the birth of Nu-Metal.
Korn would be considered as the pioneers of a genre that dominated tv screens and radio waves for over a decade. A genre that would also give birth to bands such as Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and Deftones.
From high school drop-outs to born-again Christians, Korn have become an iconic influence in the world of Heavy Metal and this is their story.
Jonathan Davis was born January 18, 1971, in Bakersfield, California. And his childhood would be that of any typically neglected one. His father, Rick Davis, a keyboard player for Frank Zappa, and his mother, Holly Marie, who was an aspiring actress & dancer, both seemed to be more interested in chasing their own dreams of becoming stars on the big stage as opposed to providing a stable environment to raise Jonathan, who also had sister and two other step siblings.

Yep, that's the whole nu metal genre as a whole though, right? That's one of the best parts about nu metal, all the members are equally important and all play their own crucial role in the band. The music nu metal bands create is simple yet very effective, much like Nirvana's music in my opinion.

For the "DEFTONES CAME BEFORE KORN" comments: Yes, Deftones FORMED before Korn, but Korn were successful on a globally commercial level way before Deftones, hence why Korn are seen as the pioneers of the Nu-Metal genre. Also, L.A.P.D. formed in 1989 that featured members of Korn. Deftones started in 88 and had their first "solid" line-up around 1994. If it wasn't for Korn, Deftones wouldn't have had a huge alternative and commercial audience to be exposed to. ⚡OFFICIAL KORN MERCHANDISE⚡ www.amazon.com/shop/rawmusictv ⚡OFFICIAL RAWMUSICTV MERCHANDISE⚡ www.rawmusictvstore.com/

That was part of a problem we had with the jocks who were seniors when we were juniors. They didn’t like we owned the school since seniors are supposed to top ppl on campus. Plus they were bullies cuz they were all rich. Like their families. Don’t worry about it my guy. I know it’s hard now but trust me, in the grand scheme of life none of this shit matters.

One of my favorite Korn memories. Korn was doing a big promo for Follow the leader and did a record store signing. I heard about this on the radio and drove like 2 hours to this record store outside of the Detroit area. They showed up in the back of a monster truck (big foot/grave digger style). The line was immense, but they were so cool and took time to talk to everyone that came thru that line. It was my first time meeting BIG rock stars and my eyes must have looked like hub caps because when i moved down the table to Munky , he looked up at me and smiled...said..."hey man, you ok?" I just shook my head and barely got out a "yeah" because i was tongue tied. Fast forward to just a a few years ago when they did short anniversary run of that album and played a few select cities in smaller venues, i saw them at the Masonic theater in SF. They played just about the entire album and did a few of their most popular tracks. The show was off the (wallet) chain!!! :)

Which was probably their lowest point, simply in terms of the amount of hate they were getting from the "old guard" fans.

I went out and bought the album - the 1st ‘ metal ‘ I’d payed for since Faith No Mores’ The Real Thing in 1990. Thanks for your work 👍

[@waynefontaine5533]

That Faith No More album is fantastic as well, I was 16yrs old and in 11th grade when I saw em live in San Francisco right after that album dropped...

[@kevinobrien3888]

I was a radio, television and film major in college from 1993-1996. Your work is well crafted, wonderful to watch, inspirational and I’m thankful for your channel. I appreciate what you’ve documented and I’m a subscriber now. Thank you!!!

Man I was 9 years old in '98, got my first drum set for Christmas. Played the same four count to literally every song for like a year before I started developing skills. Had started to get into heavy metal by fourth grade and heard SlipKnoT's "Self-Titled" album, completely changed my life. Korn become one of those bands that just blew me away. When they dropped "Take a look in the Mirror", with that amped up base, I learned to play every song off that album, that was the first time I had played an entire album and learned every song. Man I miss the early 2000's some of the best music came out!!!

[@ericjones2659]

I saw Korn, Coal Chamber, Cradle of Thorns in 95' at the Hollywood Palladium! Best show ever!!

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

Wow, awesome man! I saw CC a few times live back in the day but didn't see Korn live until 2021 and Staind opened up for them, it was awesome! Coal Chambers live shows back in the day were incredible, they were the only nu metal band back then that could really rival with Korn as a live band IMO.

[@ericjones2659]

@@LeadMe2TheBliss yeah it was something pretty special watching that show. I never even heard of CC until that show in 95'.

Never became a huge fan. But always appreciated their musicianship and unique style and performances. Watching this makes me want to buy their masters album.

Same here. Introduced to them in high school in 96/97. Hands down favorite band of all time. I've seen them about 6 times. I just took my 9yo son to see them. It was his first concert. You are definitely in for a good time. Prepare to have your world rocked

[@metalcatmom5891]

I was introduced to Korn after the release of Follow the Leader. I have been a fan ever since. They are as good today as they ever were. Their shows are soooo good. I try to see them anytime they come near me.#stillafreak

[@r.aubrey3481]

I’ve been a fan of KORN since I was kid…. Music changed me when I was able to relate TO THIS BAND. It was their first album, “Helmet in the bush”. Granted I was only 5 when they released this… but it wasn’t until I grew into my own fucked up self to relate from this album at the age of 12. (born in 89) No one else at that time for me was singing the fucking anthem of my realistic nightmare... Not to mention the lyrics of Jonathon Davis gave us…. Made me feel Fucking normal, after for so long not feeling “normal”. To know my favorite artist fucking gets me dude. I could go on my rant over KORN for HOURS…. If there was any band who truly saved me, it was them man. I’ll die with the lyrics of their songs on my casket. I fucking love you guys! 🖤

[@crackerjack7960]

You literally took alot of the words right outta my mouth! I was born in 86 and Korn was literally the soundtrack to my life from the beginning of my middle school days all the way through my high school days! I don't know how I would've made it without there music tbh... And it's awesome to know that there are females like you out there that know and have good taste in music, especially in a world that now considers the trash on the radio nowadays, "real music" Thanks for giving me some hope when I almost thought girls like you didn't exist anymore!🤘🏼🖤

Always loved these documentaries! I’ve watched your Slipknot one a ton (probably over 15 times) and it didn’t get old once. The layout is immaculate on your documentaries. Great work!

[@RAWMUSICTV]

Really appreciate that thanks!

[@cornchamber3]

I know I'm late to the party but I have to say that your videos are great. I was an obsessive fan of Korn in my early teens and yet still in a half hour video you've mentioned a few things that I never knew about. I know that these documentaries don't focus on the music itself, but even so they just have so much excellent, fascinating information about the important years of all these artists. Thanks!

[@Desiredbalance]

My mom took me to see Ozzy in 1996 in Dallas at the reunion arena and the back drop for the opening band was pained with the title KoRn. We’d never heard of them at the time but I remember asking her why she didn’t play my this version of lullabies after hearing shoots and ladders. After that we both fell in love and saw them many more times. I have the greatest mom for giving me the most amazing concert memories.

[@perseusOKC]

Korn meant the world to me as a teen. Loved everything thing they did. I play in Perseus. Id watch their videos for inspiration.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

I was always kind of an outcast in H.S, girls didn't go for me (some things don't change) and most of my close friends were out partying and hooking up with girls and I'd just stay home and watch my KoRn Who?ThenNow VHS tape, and my Marilyn Manson, Pantera, and Rage Against The Machine VHS tapes! So, music was truly my salvation, it's all I really had back then so it means a lot to me because of that, and of course what is most important...it's just good music!

Faith no more is one of the greatest bands to ever grace our ears.

[@ToneTraveler]

This video is great promotion for Patton’s projects. They mention Bungle right away. I saw Bungle on their first tour and I don’t hear ANY Bungle in Korn. Two seven string players that sound like Kurt Cobain with a better amp. Maybe it was the sparse record scratching on the first Bungle album? There’s horns, changing genres and time signatures, complex arrangements, NOT top 40 at all. Faith no More I can see though.

[@redzgirl2476]

I became an instant fan back in 95, when I was 14 years old. My friend brought the CD back from North Carolina when he went for the summer to visit family, and when he played it for us, we were immediately down with it and listened to it every day after that. Been rockin with Korn for almost 28 years. Sounds crazy saying that shit but time flies...

[@aliciabryanna6725]

Similar story! Also 14 in 95 and listened to Korn in class while I was supposed to be listening to my instructors. It honestly helped me make it through the days being a sensitive and overwhelmed kid.

[@g-dcomplex1609]

these guys flattened out all of their contemporaries of the time, korn was the best music drug out there for quite a while, seen them around 2000 tampa stadium, no opening bands, just korn, the played for an hour and a half straight, after a decent rest, they played for another hour and a half, by far one of my top five favorite concerts to date

[@Life_of_Matthew]

Korn's music has definitely helped me a lot with my negative emotions

[@queendutch8644]

The first cd I bought as a teenager was Follow the leader in 99, I was 13. My dad was an old school heavy metalhead, he heard Korn coming from my room and thought I went crazy 😂. Saw them in 2006 on a festival in the Netherlands, and taking my 14 year old son next week to see them in Amsterdam. Can't wait, childhood memories!

I arrived to the US on July 1998. No English, a loner, angry bc I am now away from my father and have to deal with an asshole stepfather who never respected me. I was bullied in elementary for being Mexican and not knowing English. But then I hear Korn on MTV March 1999. I watch Freak on a Leash…I was mesmerized. I asked my mom to please take me to a CD store to purchase my very first album. I was immediately addicted to the sound, keep in mind I had no idea what he was saying but my soul related. It wasn’t until much later into my late teens when I became fluent in English that the reason I felt so drawn to their music was bc it precisely spoke about how I was feeling, just so out of place, alone, casted out and disturbed. The language barrier meant nothing. It was all a source of exchanged energy, fed up and looking for somewhere to belong. I’m 33 years old now and I will forever Love Korn. No matter where I go or end up, their albums will always follow me bc they were there to help me cope in an age and time I was so lost. ❤

[@crashweekly7925]

You would never know that Johnathan Davis is such a soft spoken guy the way he sings, I have been listening to Korn since the beginning. Everyone was listening to the top 40 hits when I was a teen and I listened to Iron maiden, Korn, megadeath, Pantera and other metal bands. I was always the outcast, never wore the trends or had any popularity but it never bothered me. Bullying was a part of my daily life but I didn't care, I did me and ignored the bully's.
