KORN - FREAK ON A LEASH | REACTION

[@HBC423]

The band is the freak on a leash.. this song is about the music industry or record companies

[@jamelakajamal]

😅THANKS😅

[@oWarlock360o]

Which then also goes into "yall want a single", since they were bound by some restricting contracts

[@Z_TPI]

Ya about them being whored out by the labels. Hence the line "a cheap fuck for me to lay"

[@sf-ur5641]

Rob Esposito I’ll be honest and admit I never understood the lyrics to that part, and I finally get it now after 20 years. Cheers, my dude.✌️

[@Copperkaiju]

I thought the song was about Brian Welch's sexual/romantic experiences, but the record label thing makes alot of sense.

[@thra-x1855]

Dude, you wouldn't believe how big of a deal these guys were when this album first dropped - the whole musical landscape warped around them!

[@jam2190]

He is not wrong, they changed Rock music!

[@DEV3N87]

Wasnt even a big Korn fan AT ALL during the late 90s, but as i got older i started to appreciate what they gave us.

[@AClark-jx9zp]

They are the Rabbit Hole till this day. Last time I saw Head he was on Huckabee and Johnathan was on Alex Jones.

[@jam2190]

@@AClark-jx9zp when was this? Davis on Jones show?

[@Justin-nq6kf]

They started a whole new genre and sound.

[@Dweebix]

Lead singer Jon Davis wrote the lyrics to this song about the music industry, which he compares to an owner walking a dog. While he's this freak being paraded around, corporate America is making all the money... and it's taking a part of him.

[@jamelakajamal]

👍🏾

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

This may just be *the* most crushing breakdown in music. Tremendous song. I don't understand people who don't appreciate how epic this is. Entertaining video too. :)

[@Korradoar]

"FALLING AWAY FROM ME" is the 2nd half to this!

[@Magumba_State]

+1 it continues the music video and is an amazing song!!!

[@justincoleman7856]

I would recommend this video as well as Here to Stay.

[@TheRealAb216]

Korn started to blow up right as i was about to enter high school. They came out of what seamed like no where with a sound unlike anything at the time and lyrics that really spoke to the outcast kids who didnt fit in.

[@thecountess]

Fun fact: Todd McFarlane did the animation/drawings for this video. He is the creator of Spawn (comics, along with other titles under his artistry). Korn was on the Spawn movie soundtrack, a collab song with the Dust Brothers called "Kick The P.A." - KoRn is one of my fave bands, for sure. Each album is a gem. Life Is Peachy, Follow The Leader and Issues are the top 3 albums by KoRn. They are amazing live.

[@sebastiandececchis5102]

“They got these kids out here lookin like children of the corn” kinda the point, they literally have a song called ‘Children of the Korn’ lol

[@LeaFarNas802]

I'm Filipino, back when I was in H.S '95-99 my peers never understood me why I listened and rocked to their songs at school, a Christian school. Hehe. I'm 37 now with 2 children & I still rock to them on my spotify playlist. Felt nostalgic watching the video once again. Try reacting to their video GOT THE LIFE.

[@Rob_Infinity3]

The next Korn song to react to has to be "coming undone"! The meaning of "freak on a leash" that I've heard is that it's about the music business/fame and not being allowed to do everything you want and having to do things you don't want to do.

[@AClark-jx9zp]

Everything on issues

[@rabbidrobrc9123]

There's so many layers to metal you've only scratched the surface.

[@tuchesuavae]

Deftones "digital bath" "rosemary" "knifeparty" "my own summer" "change in the house of flies" "passenger" "diamond eyes" "shut up and drive"

The lead singer curated and cowrote the "Queen of the Damned" soundtrack. Some of the artist you've been listening to are on the soundtrack. You could tell it's designed after his style once you've heard it. It'll remind you of this song.

Korn ft ice cube.. "children of the corn" Check it

And All in the Family.

[@Blizzard0fHope]

check it twice

Ice Cube ft. Korn, “fuck dying”

This video being played on MTV in the late 90's had a big impact on a 13-14 year old me. It started me down the rabbit hole of Heavy metal 🤘🏽

[@JRWind-yx5kg]

Like to see ya review Gorillaz’s “Clint Eastwood” and “Feel Good Inc”.

[@tiffknee1821]

"stylo" a personal favorite of mine

[@joehynes5452]

[@mc2120]

Korn has been my number 1 fav band for over 20 years followed by Slipknot. Definitely check out here to stay, coming undone and their new album just released is great! Their song "Blind" woodstock show is another dope video to check out.

[@BaldingClamydia]

"Thoughtless" is my favorite Korn song! Jesse Pinkman is the main character of the video, way before Breaking Bad came out 😁💜 loving the channel as always

[@pugshorty9852]

The bullet is NOT the freak. Jonathan Davis is the freak.

[@juanduran8156]

Funny that you said “Children of the Corn” because there’s a track called Children of the Korn that features Ice Cube on this same album. You should listen to it.

[@andywright7241]

This takes me back to my high school days, I guess I was 17 years old when this came out. Damn I'm old, I'm 39 now.

[@ashweee404]

You should try Blind, Here to Stay, Throw me Away.

[@alylisab]

Yes! blind.

[@caladbolg777]

I've been asking forever

[@coltonw8686]

Absolutely love watching people react to this song lol The metal beat boxing part is gold. Classic. Always will be one of my favorite songs.

[@stbreal]

Gotta check out “Got the Life” by Korn.

[@JD.Knight]

That gets my blood pumping every time I hear it. Always on my gym playlist

[@Makins0]

Instant "I like that beat" face, my first reaction 20 years ago too. XD THOSE GOOSEBUMPS THO

[@Kelly30stm]

Korn is one of my favorite bands! Their untouchables album helped me through some depression when it was released.

[@SSGSativa]

Damn dude! You just blew my mind with that bullet symbolizing him being the "freak on a leash". I got this album as soon as it dropped and been and old school Korn fan since they started and I seen this video a billion times and that thought never even crossed my mind. I had another, personal, subjective view on it but yeah my dude. That's awesome.

[@Moonsun9]

Korn - Daddy. It’ll really make u emotional. A terrifying song with a discussing experience for the singer

[@richtigersoan]

This song is a real challenge, I teared up several times

[@myhometechguy]

Maybe their best song ever.

[@jam2190]

I suggest this the other day, and some ass told me, "it would be wrong for the channel"!

[@JokerInk-CustomBuilds]

fun fact: The video was drawn by Todd Mcfarlane, the father of Spawn and also drew spiderman for many years.. My favourite cartoonist.

[@dennisborjonmarquez9216]

I remember how old dudes are always like “damn now this song takes me back” Well... damn this song takes me back. 16 working at McDonald’s summer time of 99. This is when I really started to pay attention to the true beauty of music. How it grabs your effin brain and bleeds straight into your soul. Giving you goosebumps. Like yeah feel this.

[@beanie237]

One of my fav bands of all time, been following them since they started, and the only band I have seen in concert. I nearly got crushed , had no feet on the floor it was crazy.

[@jasonriette7438]

Now you’ve gotta review their song “blind” at Woodstock. I will await your priceless reaction

[@BJMurphy]

React to Smile Empty Soul: - "Bottom of a Bottle" - "Silhouettes" - "This is War" - "Nowhere Kids" I promise you won't regret listening to this band. They'll remain on your playlist for years to come!

[@Justin-nq6kf]

This band got me into being a musician.

[@Purrrple]

Well now you need to watch the second part of this story, video-wise at least, by reacting to Falling Away From Me.

[@voodoomaestro4295]

Hey man! You gotta watch "Korn- Falling Away From Me" now. The video starts right as this one ENDS. So, they connect. Plus, it's one of the dopest songs ever.

[@skiLLphrAIM]

korn is still my favorite band this was that shit back in the late 90s

[@danielkinn782]

Ok so this video won a bunch awards from MTV for best video etc... If you listen to this song on a good system it bumps hard!!! HUGE fan of Korn. Seen then 7 times live

[@timothysisneros]

Along with Deftones in 95, Korn in 94 set the foundation of what would become nu-metal music. And if you follow both bands careers, Korn won the battle, but I think Deftones will eventually win the war of who is more influential on music for the past 25+ years. I really loved this band back in the mid to late 90s, but this single really broke the camels back in that the popularity of the band was close to Beatles level and the music they came out with after really didn't resonate at the same level.

[@AlkaC9]

1:12 hahahha they actually have a song called Children Of The KoRn! you should definitely check it out (it has some funky rap metal vibes featuring Ice Cube so I'm sure you'll like it) great reaction as always, keep it up!

😳WOW! 🤣

Gotta love that heavy music that has a groove instead of just headbanging. Getting older so I just do light head banging now😂. Badass song

[@BricktowneMedia]

This album was my introduction to metal...though KoRn is known for being one of the front runners of Nu-Metal...but yeah before this i listened to country.....LOL but then I met Korn....and it was all over from there. This album holds a massively special place in my heart...and this song is one of my favorites off of it. Would love to see you check out more Korn...Their first four albums are all friggin gold!

Oh you going off the deep end now.......good luck!!

[@maggot4202]

When Korn first came out in 94.. radio stations were afraid to play them cause they were too real and hardcore.. then they gave in.. Korn are innovaters, they created a whole musical movement and many bands tried to copy their sound and image.. Korn and ice cube have done a few tracks together.. funny you said Children of the Corn.. there is a song of that title featuring ice cube.. And Korn is on an album with ice cube.. song title "Fuck Dying" Dr. Dre, Snoop, and and a few others are in a limpbizkit video with Korn.. I love how all them boys from the West coast were homies

You should react to Falling Away From Me, its technically part 2 of this video

[@TheNitelite10]

Thoroughly enjoy it when reaction channels get to this song! Korn is a treasure trove of hidden potential that shown through a tainted lens; the video suggestion I would like to make is if you have ever had a thing for Angelina Jolie, I would recommend *DID MY TIME* Korn had a song on the 2nd Tomb Raider movie.

If you study the lyrics, he says "you'll never see me far from grace. Something takes a part of me, you and I were meant to be, a cheap fuck for me to lay, something takes a part of me." The background voice over the song says "you want to see the light, so do I" in the chorus, the word grace has 2 different meanings. You will never see me far from grace means you will never see me far from the light (the truth) explained by the background voice. The second meaning of far from grace can be interpretated as a female described by the lyrics "a cheap fuck for me to lay" but there is so much more to this song.
