Jonathan Davis What Have I Done High School Pre-KoRn Demo

[@AltFreak25]

There is no denying he had talent even without a band. Holy shit!!!!! This is good.

[@korncows1]

dude is legion status

Queen of the damned soundtrack was a testament of how talented he is.

[@ms.gamerladyharlow6871]

His voice when he was in high school... So cute. The start of his musical career was building up slowly but surely. Damn good bop!

He went from this to koRn and its unbelievable

Some ppl like to think that metalheads hate Elektronik music but that is not always the case, in my case i was always a fan of Depeche Mode, Ladytron Aphex Twin, etc etc and even Euronymous was a fan of techno

[@ZombieThirteen]

You can clearly hear The Cure influence in this, very awesome JD.

[@ashmaybe9634]

And Soft Cell, tons of great 80s stuff.

[@sofiamoreno1020]

Faith no more vibes too

[@mills9402]

New wave is the genre this type of music is called i think it encompasses stuff like goth and cold wave as well

[@brinhas420]

Tell me not... They should make a movie on JDs life before korn and begin it in high school and end it after korns self titled was a success.... So it'd probably be a long movie because that's covering his sexart times high school times, recording things in high school and what he did outside of school. That'd be fucking great but I don't know who would play him. Please share this to at least try and get it out there to be made because I know all of you think about what he went through in life

[@GloomRaiderOfficial]

Aaron Saber also include the rest of korns members. Giving a back story to each member, try not to focus too much on just one. David, Munky and Fieldy were all in L.A.P.D. together so you're just focusing on 3 bands. Korn, Sexart and L.A.P.D. Start the movie with them in their high school setting to show what they were doing at the time, their home life, how they were treated in school, hobbies other than music, how they met. Even go into Jonathan's dark past if he is comfortable with that, Show his jobs at pizza hut and as a coroner's assistant. Try to fit that into a 1 hour window, then really take off with the music. Fitting it into a 3-4 hour movie which I'd be fine with. It would be a fantastic movie Id definitely pay to see, I'd pay double the ticket costs to see this film.

I think they called this stuff new wave back in the day. Jonathan Davis is insanely talented making music. its takes all five guy in korn to really make korn what it is even without David I think Ray is the better drummer and korn has evolved bigger then what it would have with David. But there is no questions that Jon Davis is the driving force of Korn

Well it is said on Wiki that our boy's fav band were Flock of Seagulls. Also there are videos with him covering Duran Duran, u can check it out. So its very evident even now how sensitive and st shy JD is. So for me its not a big surprise. New Wave was so popular all throughout 80s: Soft Cell, New Order, DM, Roxy Music, Visage, Talk Talk etc. And even now there are new bands. For example this song sounds very similar to early Lust for Youth demos

I wish he would re-record this song today. This rules! I like how you can hear his singing style from some Korn songs here seems like the influences were building from the beginning. I never really thought of new wave being sort of an influence to nu metal but it makes some amount of sense now that I hear this. The rhythm and melodies are there, the intensity and distortion (and funk) are missing of course, but I can hear the influence.
