Korn reminisce about strange gigs and Korn TV on 'Would You Rather'

Way back in 1998, prior to the release of their gargantuan LP Follow The Leader, #Korn developed their own TV show - or at least something close to it. Korn TV was an online series mostly devoted to the making of the album, though it had a public access element to it, with fans calling in to ask their heroes some questions and special guests like Ron Jeremy, Limp Bizkit, and 311 showing up for conversations.
They clearly have fond memories of the experience. When we asked lead singer Jonathan Davis, guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, and drummer Ray Luzier if they'd rather reboot Korn TV or start their own religion, they immediately said that they'd reboot the old show. "We would do a cool run with a bunch of cool guests," head said. "One week we'd have Billie Eilish, the next week Bradley Cooper... the singer from Cannibal Corpse."

When u see Davis in interviews he so soft spoken an chilled out... He really does get all his angst out in the music, because the amount of shit he has been through it’s amazing he not in the end of a vodka bottle sleeping in a lane way somewhere. Says a lot about him he is a tough fucker.

[@SixxQueen91]

That’s how it should be done. Take your anger out listening to music. Just don’t be violent with anyone Or animals. Or hurt yourself.

[@tamathajones5673]

@@cherrybomb5551 because not only is she one of the hugest stars at the moment, she has a great voice and meaningful lyrics, some sick ass art. I'm not a fan but know people who are and respect the fuck outta her.

@@Konosuballs I personally dont like her to be honest. Shes kinda overrated in my opinion.

I'm not sure if when he reacted that way it was either because he didn't know her or wasn't a fan. And I actually think Korn would love Billie Eilish. I could be wrong tho??

What's UR favorite KoRn song? I like " Need To " from the 1st CD .

[@xMORBATRONx]

Savage Nectar Fieldy’s bass solo on “Need to” song short but so good. For my favorite song... it’s a hard one because their whole first album is my favorite. I’d say “Divine”. It’s funny because that song’s ending makes me think Mudvayne heard that and was like “yep, that’s the sound we want” lol.

[@adamturner1563]

[@ripley8aliensmom72]

[@bennett138]

They were my favorite from like 95 to 98... the music and style got way less dark and they lost that greatness that made them amazing in the first place. Adidas tracksuit, dreads, 7 strings, all of it in a whole didn't make any sense but that's what made them get so huge. Once the paychecks started flowing, they all seem to lose that dark/scary weirdness but it's good to see them trying to regain that style back, I dig a few things about the new album but sound wise, the recording is way too clean. They need to go back and figure out what amps they were using back then, what kind of board they recorded on cuz all that matters. If you have a CD or vinyl of the first 2 albums, go back and listen to them and compare it to their new stuff... it's like night and day.

Point is bro dont let religion keep you from God He loves you bro. Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Galatians 5:4For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ!
