Korn - Freak On a Leash I Singer Reacts I

One of the best "GO!"'s in all of music.

[@jeanpaulchumpitazgarcia3169]

5:16 GO!!!

[@0rnery0verwatch]

Perhaps the only one that was ever cool. Great band, great memories.

He did it in Limp Bizkit song collab on Significant Other record

[@WolfFireheart]

I can't read the word "go" without it sounding like that in my head xD And it always comes to mind when something fun is about to start.

[@dadsbedtimestories2940]

This song was an anthem for a generation

[@DramaNinja0]

Fuck yea it was!!

[@sentis07]

Hell yeah!!!My generation...(hint a Limp Bizkit ref)

[@920WASHBURN]

I thought this album was terrible. Way too produced and mainstream

[@meeeeeej8]

I loved korn and still do

[@СергейСоколов-ь7н]

this song is not for this generation

[@nefilimlean9087]

You have to watch the continuation of the video then "Falling Away from Me". This song is very strong and touches on delicate things that many of us also identify with.

[@EvanAgee]

I was 18 when this came out, this was truly the music of our generation. Now I'm 43, fighting diabetes and trying to figure out how to prepare for retirement. Life is so damn short and quick.

[@riusu8672]

that is my life story lol even the diabetes part :-P but i am 39.

[@VroomBroomZoom]

I feel you. 😱

[@otepdotnet]

damnnn.. felt like it was yesterday

[@zeltygg4042]

scatting is the word your looking for, and he fucking killed it

[@zackkullis5555]

From one “weird embracer” to another, loved the reaction. For me the bullet represents all of the criticism and personal attacks, whether they originate externally or from our inner demons. These bullets don’t necessarily have to be intentional attacks (the guard didn’t intend to shoot, but shit still happens), but their impact doesn’t care if it was intentional or not. I was labeled as a freak when I was a kid. The bullets seemed to come from everywhere, and came often. Hearing someone else sing with such visceral expressions about this was a refuge for me. As always, much love and thank you.

[@ErdTirdMans]

You nailed it

[@Jalbesbe]

The whole can't feel your face is often used to refer to many drug users as they often describe a very numb feeling in the face, especially coke addicts, which is what The Weekend song is all about

[@stanleyhyde8529]

Korn is one of those bands that you really need to dive into their early stuff to get the internal message going on. Jonathan Davis had a very broken childhood to say the absolute least. He wasn't allowed to be himself and he was terribly abused. Their first couple of albums they put out dove into that pretty hard. While I highly recommend giving them a listen, strap in for a real emotional journey. These albums hold a fair number of songs that people listen to so they don't feel alone with their torment.

[@bluegobbie]

Absolutely. Their music got me through some dark times when I was a kid.

[@juliozaelsantillanruiz8997]

hahaha loved your reaction 4:50 , usually the ppl reacts like that in that part of the song. It's something you don't expect to be there and it's amazing. Jonathan Davis is one of a kind. Greetings from México!

[@strangemachines_]

I love seeing younger people react to Korn now, because it’s exactly how dudes like me reacted back in 1998 hearing them for the first time. You’re kinda speechless, because there ain’t nothing else that sound like them. 🌞

[@Backwoods_Jake]

Her face when it gets to my fav part 😂😂

[@ErdTirdMans]

The song is about KoRn putting their pain on display and how monetizing that - especially for the benefit of record companies - makes you feel like a freak on their leash at times. That necessarily begs the question: "Why do it, then?" This video is the answer The bullet is trauma, unwittingly fired at kids by even well-meaning adults and ricocheting chaos and destruction through the world. It finds its way to a KoRn poster, entering their world, which has clearly received a lot of these bits of trauma. He defuses it with his music and turns it back on the world, destroying symbols of work, media, and government pressure. By the time it gets back to the girl, it's been rendered inert enough for her to simply pick it out of the air and go back to enjoying her life

[@sjbetzler]

Saw your wondering about lyrics... Jon has been through hell and back, and comes out in his vocals/lyrics exceptionally well. Notable examples: Daddy, Shoots and Ladders, Did My Time (BE AWARE- Daddy is about as heavy/disturbing of a song as you will EVER find... tragic, raw, and pure emotion. Other standouts - Twist, Blind.

[@GameTesterDev]

I seriously don't understand why people request reactors to react to Twist... It's awesome af, yes.. but it's only 40-50 seconds...

[@BlackShipa]

May be disturbing but heavy... I didnt think so. If she wanna react something heavy, she should react to disengage or you only live once by suicide silence.

[@lefatpogger]

goodness me Daddy is just scary

[@miscellanea_of_genera]

​@@GameTesterDev There is a version of twist that is about three minutes long.

[@Omegadude541]

at least its not dance with the devil

[@praetorianalien]

The video continuation to this one would be "Falling away from me". Another great song and video :D

[@zeromandy]

Dude there is a music video with both of them together in one music video it is very awesome I could tell you the thumbnail if you want to see the combination of the videos in one big music video it really put a smile on my face I was just about to say hey listen to falling away from me but you got to it first so never mind on that but korn is my favorite band this was my childhood when I was growing up

[@terrencejones9817]

Fred Durst Directed the video for Falling Away from me.

[@zeromandy]

@@terrencejones9817 really?

[@terrencejones9817]

@zeromandy Yep. Not only directed it, he came up with the overall idea.

[@smars1161]

This is the song that got me into metal, changed my life 🤟

[@AaronShaw051]

good afternoon miss! i love this group. to me (as i dont speak for everyone) they are immediatly recognizable from the first note. their sound is so incredibly them. ty for another good one! have a great day!

[@haplostarember1767]

Yeah, Jonathon's growling, gutteral scatting vocalization was something NOBODY was ready for when they first heard this song. I still remember having my mind blown by how heavy this was along with how unique those vocalizations with his scatting were. Great song.

[@franciscoborjaescobarsuare5802]

"Originating in vocal jazz, scat singing or scatting is vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all. In scat singing, the singer improvises melodies and rhythms using the voice solely as an instrument rather than a speaking medium. This is different from vocalese, which uses recognizable lyrics that are sung to pre-existing instrumental solos. " Source : Wikipedia (I know) It's basically what Lou Prima does for King Lou in "I Wan'na Be like You" in the old The Jungle Book film

[@blackcountryme]

1920's beat box

[@christophersteel1424]

There's a smidgen of comedy in the video too. They don't take themselves too seriously, and that's nice.

[@Undrrated]

Korn is one of my favorite bands, I loved this reaction. I will continue to wait for your reaction to Korn - Daddy, everything that song entails for me is very meaningful, it's brutal and heartbreaking.

[@ivanbraidi]

OMFG that iconic drop, the drop of an entire generation. So many memories. Korn are absolute Masters.

[@MichaelGalok]

hHs style is a cross between Scat in Jazz and Beat Boxing in Hip Hop. He brilliantly uses any sound his mouth can make to convey his emotional state.

[@Andrus6262]

Cuando era niño y esta canción estaba de moda, hablábamos en la escuela de todos los videos musicales, sin embargo, yo no tenia acceso a todos los videos, pero este en particular lo vi en un centro comercial, y recuerdo que entre mis 5 amigos llegamos a la conclusión que la bala representaba la incomprensión adulta a lo que sentíamos por la música en aquel entonces, y como niños, pensamos que cuando Jonathan dice ¡Go! la bala se devuelve pero va directo al guardia, pero la niña se interpuso... es verdad, los videos antes nos ponían a pensar!! saludos, aun qué llegué tarde, fino!! bonita reacción♥

[@kmftalonmobile]

When he says "Go" and that breakdown after is one of the greatest things in nu metal ever, I also read a comment that made me crack up once talking about when Jonathan Davis does the weird beatbox/scat thing as going full Cookie Monster

[@BlackShipa]

I remember this video coming out when I was in high school and I was so amazed by it. So ahead of it’s time

[@kaceylinne344]

time for a korn rabbit hole. falling away from me, here to stay, alone i break, right now, did my time, make me bad, twisted transistor, coming undone, narcissistic cannibal, get up, never never, rotting in vain, black is the soul, take me, cold, you'll never find me, the darkness is revealing, idiosyncrasy, finally free, can you hear me, gravity of discomfort, h@rder (harder), this loss, let the dark do the rest, start the healing, worst is on it way.

[@christineghere2461]

YES! Down the rabbit hole we go! Yes to all of those songs! KORN! 🤘🏻

[@DonkeyKick77]

This was the shit back in the day. I'll never forget the Family Values tour circa 01' with Bizkit and them. So many good bands during that time. Changed the music video scene, for sure.

[@jocadamotoca916]

The breakdown part is like a beatbox, a vocal percussion, the inspiration comes from reggae, Brian head, the guitar player talks about it in a guitar lesson/interview

[@sumonjamal1653]

This was Jonathan Davis portraying his teen years growing up... He was not the popular guy in school and was often bullied and called 'gay'... He had also survived trauma and sexual abuse as a child... His parents divorced and his mom remarried a catholic and had to sign a document to get married in that church that basically declared Jonathan an 'illegitimate child' (Catholics don't recognize divorce). He hated his stepmom who would apparently have cruel means to handle him (Thankfully, his dad divorced her too!) Despite being a very creative individual, he was big into goth culture and became a fan of The Cure... then came the drugs and alcohol abuse. That was basically what 'Freak on a leash' was about - that was what he felt like he was growing up. He was not in a good place working as an assistant in a mortuary where he worked w/ dead bodies, but he was introduced to the band L.A.P.D. in Bakersfield, California and he joined forces w/ them to form KoRn in 1993... The band's early success likely saved his life, but his struggles w/ drug abuse carried on well over decades in KoRn's career. In fact, all 5 original members of KoRn came from similar backgrounds - broken homes... neglect... abuse... They all struggled w/ drug and alcohol addictions over the years.

[@bobbafetty797]

Seeing this song live years ago was great and that breakdown was wonderful

[@HohnerCornell]

Freak on a leash is the most important song of my life and the video is an absolute classic. Greeeeat song from my fav band.

[@bradorem121]

You have no idea how huge metal was back then it ran the world as far as music was concerned. Good music

[@johnsmith-ck4qt]

Nu metal especially. Was basically mainstream.

[@JMulvy]

You know what...? You probably aren't used to drop-D tuning? It was something that a handful of bands used in the early 2000s and KORN was one of the big names that did. Basically what they did was the 6th (lowest) string is tuned down a whole step, moving the note to D2 instead of E2 and resulting in a “DADGBE” pattern, for both bass and guitar. That is what gives the sound so much chunkiness. Jonathan was a big fan of scat vocals and beat-boxing.

[@johnzushin198]

I love Korn!! Used to be my favorite band in high school and people thought I was crazy!! You should react to my favorite song “Shoots and Ladders”. Amazing reaction as always ❤

[@sentis07]

Bet...they took a nursery rhyme and made it wayyyy cooler

[@alexearnshaw1468]

I was born in 94 when there first album came out I discovered this band around 2005 and has been a favourite of mine ever since ✌🏻🔥

[@soulless7245]

Korn best band all time!!! The room they are in are the shots taken from 100s of people against them but they fight back and reverse that shot to say enough is enough.

[@soyburglar77]

Accidentally catching these guys in concert was one of the most terrifying experiences of my young life lol. It was Lolapollooza 1997 and it was my first “real” concert. Korn took the stage and about 200 kids stormed the barrier and jumped into the VIP area. I thought I was going to die.

[@minarick1]

Looks like fun 😂🤣👍

[@bluegobbie]

Still remember listening to Korn - Follow the Leader while playing Quake 2. Man, I have a lot of thoughts about listening to this music again. First and foremost was the dark times it got me through in my teenage years, just not feeling alone. Secondly, was how hated bands like Korn were by the mainstream media, so just being a fan made you rebellious at the time. There was still a degree of "satanic panic" that was going on at the time, and you can even see reference to it at the end of the video when they show the sign and it has "666" in it. A lot of these guys just had fun with it. It's funny, growing up my dad would listen to a lot of music from the 60s, because that's when he was a kid. Now, at 40, I understand why he still listened to 20-30 year old music. There's so much emotional history behind it, so many things you felt, and it's hard to get that same feeling as you get older. Things just hit different when you're a kid, and that music that's tied to it will always hold a special place for you.

[@MrGeneral79]

Excellent reaction. Answering your question at the 10 minute mark, the word you're looking for is "scat." For years, I've been calling that bridge "Metal Scat."

[@daryljaymesada4207]

Fieldy's bass slapping is legendary

[@dilididli2274]

No video ever makes people so anxious then this one. Everybody been afraid of how it might end.

[@joshnorris8970]

fun fact, this album was made by the band while they were completely geeked up on meth :D 90s-early00s Korn was crazy af at shows too

[@GatotWindyatno]

This generation cannot handle this type of music,

[@Handler_One]

Cringe ass comment

[@matthewgoodA1206]

To me this is KoRn’s all-around masterpiece. They kind of threw it all in there: the groove, the hints of hip-hop, the guitar effects, the heavy guitars, and the crazy scatting section. Add it all up and it’s pretty much tops. P.S. I don’t 100% agree with people who think “Falling Away From Me” should be next. Yes, the video itself is a sequel to this one. However, it is also a much, much darker clip and can be hard to watch for some. People need to consider how a reactor might feel.

[@0rnery0verwatch]

Just that whole album in general. I owned their first five albums. Freak on a leash is the only one I still have in my collection.

[@emune1111]

first band i bought my first CD, played thier album non stop to the point i destroyed my drum set for how much i played. Korn helped me thru so much growing up

[@timhmetal3499]

There's a reason they are called nu-metal even though they hate the term. Their sound is Korn. JD's lyrics are deep and an emotional rollercoaster. When I've seen him in concert, you can see him going to that other place where the great ones go, a place where they are living the music and it just pours out of them. Either you get them or you don't. Other folks have explained his style of scat-boxing. He has explained it as emotions coming out in phonetic sounds, which translates to scat-boxing. Rock on and stay heavy. \m/
