Korn - Blind | Singer Reacts & Musician Analysis

[@deeduffjr]

The genre is called Nu Metal, and Korn are definitely the ambassadors.

[@Dr.Spatula]

I wouldn't call them the ambassadors over LP or Slipknot but I would call them the fathers of nu metal

[@aaryamannambiar6677]

The pioneers, creators of nu metal. And the ones who brought it to the mainstream for sure.

[@JakNasty69]

@@Dr.Spatula Mushroomhead came before Slipknot but Slipknot is still my favorite

[@Dr.Spatula]

@jaknasty6464 yes but mushroom head was never nearly as big as slipknot or LP. That's my point. Those 2, especially LP, hit mainstream hard

[@wetotheetotheztotheo]

Slipknot wouldnt exist without korn bro @@Dr.Spatula

[@robtater5543]

I have been a Korn fan my whole life and at 43, THIS SONG is still my favorite song all time! I love the energy of this 1st album STILL and I listen to it often! Nothing like it anymore.

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

Same. Even down to the age ❤❤

[@-DRIP]

In my 20’s, first album is still my favorite

[@matthoag88]

Mid 30s and this is my favorite tune to karaoke.. always one of the best

[@danielleet3294]

Same I'm 42 and there touring again can't wait to see them

[@undone14]

This song is from their iconic first album! If you want to keep the sound from this album going, I'd recommend Ball Tongue, Lies and Need to for the extra bass/slap bass sound!

[@whitewidower13]

Helmet in the Bush!

[@krylesangerbeaver]

Clown, Faget, Twist are musts

[@coreozurn4950]

I always love how experimental KoRn is with the sounds their instruments can make.

[@MillieMochiTunes]

Agreed 😊

[@victorgomez592]

Shoots & Ladders for Bagpipe. Falling Away From Me it´s another top song.

[@user-lv4ob3jz7z]

This is KoRn, KoRn is its own Genre. You sould listen to Somebody Someone if you like.

[@608sks]

Yeah, one of their best song

[@robertnewton5343]

I think she is ready ... either somebody someone for heaviness. Or Its On for heaviness and groove

[@Dr.Spatula]

It's it's own genre in that it was one of the first nu metal bands...

[@AkaTonyendwards]

koЯn😊

[@natecloe8535]

Perfect description.

[@dillonsronce2583]

Korn created what is called nu metal.

[@theOGnokk]

Popularized but you can thank bands like faith no more and stuck mojo for creating nu metal in my opinion

[@lennarthagen3638]

@@theOGnokk Faith no more isnt nu metal at all.

[@theOGnokk]

@@lennarthagen3638 nope but they definetly pioneered the sound with their earlier tracks

[@mrsmedulla]

how about deftones? the earlier nu metal bands

[@daveb1274]

No that was deftones

[@xtldc]

I first saw KoЯn live in 1995 or so. They opened for Sick of It All in a tiny little club in Berkeley and that 808 sounded so incredible - the entire place lost their minds - it was epic.

[@Fish-nt5wb]

I've heard that was their first show.

[@masedonioalejandrocarminat2370]

👏👏👏

[@ShastaBean]

My 1st was in '95 @ Red Rocks opening for Megadeth. In top-5 concerts I've seen. Hard to rate & compare some things, though - when comparing to Metallica in '88 @ Alpine Valley, and Tool @ Red Rocks a few times and KoRn in some small theaters after that. And deftones in same small theaters. Once, together w/KoRn. phew. Those were the days...

[@oscarmike7980]

I saw Korn in San Diego. I missed the Sick Of It All show, but caught the next one at the old Soma location in SD. Killed it.

[@josephbond8280]

Need to watch the Woodstock version of this. Will blow your mind.

[@familyheissinger5833]

YES!!

[@lsu1992]

Some chick I knew gave me a sample tape back in '94 with Blind and Clown on it. She said, "I heard this and knew you would love it." Years later, I married her.

[@0_Ka-Bar_0]

My first Korn tune. I'll never forget how my mate just came up to me with walkman and put earphones on my head and said sssush. On a bus coming back home from a high school. I freaking melted.

[@tomfoolery342]

One of my favorite albums of all time. I wasn't into the newer Korn, but this whole album/era was awesome!!

[@HohnerCornell]

Well, I highly recommend you The Serenity of suffering, man, is in my top 5 albums by Korn and it's in the "newer" Korn.

[@fabiokaraguatatuba]

I'm from Brazil and aways love the song and stiles of KORN .

[@davidward9737]

Shoots and Ladders for bagpipe playing. Might wanna check out "Clown" "Adidas" "No where to hide" "Somebody Someone" just to name a little few off the top on my head. Also for good bass as well. "Tool" 46&2 or The Pot if you havent heard them yet.

[@deeduffjr]

Adidas brings back so many Junior High memories, I love watching this new generation discover KoRn and RATM!

[@chupitolepame5357]

Glad you discovered this amazing band. I've been listening to them since 1996 and it's my favorite! They have a very extensive catalogue so far... some suggestions to check out next: Falling Away From Me Got the Life Somebody Someone (bass stands out a lot on this one) Coming Undone Here to Stay

[@texTB303]

I love your reaction, which echoes my reaction as a teenager discovering the sounds of korn in the 90s, it's refreshing. J'adore ta réaction qui fait écho à ma réaction d'adolescent découvrant le sons de korn dans les années 90, c'est rafraîchissant

[@PastaDon_]

Woodstock '99 live performance reaction please.. was lucky enough to attend but was like a mile away from Korns set.. lol.. and what you see from the crowd at the front of the stage was literally happening all the way in the back.. I remember saying to the dude next to me, wonder if we could start our own earthquake.. lol..

[@williamsummerson1204]

Loved the reaction. Korn has been my favorite band ever since they came out in 1994. They are one of the most talented, important and influential bands of my generation. Jonathan Davis is a vocal unicorn. 🤘

[@gardj456]

Knew you were gonna flip at the scream at 5:00 😂 The 2012 live cover of Another Brick in the Wall with next drummer Ray Luzier is just sick. They and he's KILLED IT! So awesome, he's a monster

[@tigbitties_nz3479]

Honestly, I love your reaction. It's wholesome seeing someone who appreciates a insane artist. Mad respect to you ❤

[@blahblahsen1142]

Grown ass man sitting here drinking and i air-bass'd this whole song while singing. My whole family loves KoRN.

[@Supabasic13]

you're gonna love them,.. I wish I could discover them for the first time all over again but your reactions brought me back

[@chrthm27]

"I did my time" is a Korn song that has some heavy bass slapping and nice base line

[@wickedPrints3256]

This is the best opening song for a band to start with at a concert. This is Nu-metal in all of it's glory.

[@runsett]

listening to this song every time still feels good...

[@TheHoustonsonlyleroy]

I group up listening to heavy metal. It was frowned up and now it’s starting to really get it’s recognition. Now a days I love alternative sad rap. But sadly the main three artist died. Lil peep, X, and Juice wrld. I love heavy thoughts and emotions, so people can put it in a art form, I 100% support them.

[@TheBeast-LPTV]

Funfact about this song : one of the song that Start riot in Woodstock 99 USA

[@MrMason29]

Gotta be one of the best reactions on youtube lol Love your hair too btw!

[@ericautaubo8543]

One of my favorite live videos from "Korn- Another Brick in the Wall 2012 Sziget" because of the outro/ jam session

[@nickscott478]

Never been a big Korn fan but the opening of this song is badass

[@muddafudda525]

I saw Korn live when Life Is Peachy released in an indoor arena with seats surrounding an open area in front of the stage in Charlotte, North Carolina. There wasn't many people in front of the stage and the seats were loaded. When Korn came on all the people in the seats bum rushed the open area. I being 15 years old was forced in the sea of people to go with or be trampled. It was the craziest, scariest and coolest thing that happened to me up to that point in life. Oh and the the show was AWESOME!

[@aaryamannambiar6677]

I love seeing people like you react to Korn for the first time!!

[@sumonjamal1653]

This was the FIRST KoRn music video and single from their 1994 debut album... it was a unique record w/ a new sound- a mix of 90's hip hop grooves and heavy grunge rock that would be termed 'nu-metal' by the late 90's. It was also a dark record that was lyrically filled w/ depiction of childhood abuse, adolescent rage and loss of innocence. It took a year or so for the album to finally sell gold (half million copies) in the US after 3 MTV singles - 'Blind'... 'Clown'... and 'Shoots & ladders'... Lead singer Jonathan Davis ended the album w/ the disturbing track 'Daddy' which he wrote about a family friend who sexually abused him as a child, and his parents refused to believe him. When recording the vocals, Davis broke down in anguish and started screaming hysterically at his abuser - that was left in the final recording that made the album. KoRn came together in Bakersfield, California in the early 90's when Nirvana and Pearl Jam had become huge... Guitarists Brian 'Head' Welch and James 'Munky' Shaffer, drummer David Silveria, and bassist Reggie 'Fieldy' Arvizu got together w/ vocalist Jonathan Davis and took the name KoRn referring to a Stephen King novel 'Children of the Corn' about a town's children killing all the adults... They were discovered by producer Ross Robinson who produced their first 2 albums after they were signed in '94 by Immortal Records. 2nd album 'Life is Peachy' (1996) sold gold faster than the debut album, but it was a darker... more hardcore album w/ only 1 major single - 'A.D.I.D.A.S.' ... but KoRn were a huge draw on tour. It was the 3rd album 'Follow the Leader' in 1998 that went to #1 on the US charts and exploded in commercial popularity w/ more energetic songs - 'Got the life' ... 'Freak on a leash'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥were the big singles and sold 5x platinum and pushed the first 2 records to 2x platinum in sales... KoRn was headlining tours and were a triumph at the Woodstock '99 festival where they shared the stage that night w/ Bush and The Offspring... 4th album 'Issues' in 1999 was also a #1 hit, released w/ 4 different album covers and sold 3x platinum. Unfortunately, drug and alcohol abuse was affecting the members of KoRn, but they kept going... their album 'Untouchables' charted at #2 in 2002 and sold platinum, followed by the heavy & dark 'Take a look in the mirror' in 2003 that also went platinum. The band marked the end of the original line-up in 2004 w/ a 'Greatest hits' album w/ covers of Cameo's 'Word up' and Pink Floyd's 'Another brick in the wall'... Guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch quit the band that year, but KoRn refused to replace him. They opted to use session guitarists for shows. Signing w/ a new label, KoRn released 'See you on the other side' in 2005 w/ outside songwriters being used without Head's songwriting talent... Drummer David Silveria quit in 2007 just before KoRn performed on MTV 'Unplugged' and completed the 'Untitled' album as a trio w/ session drummers, the album being their most pop-oriented record... Ray Luzier (drums) did the tour and joined KoRn full time by 2009. KoRn released 'Remember who you are' in '09 w/ a return to heavy rock... Then, they collaborated w/ 'dubstep' artists on the 2011 album 'The path of totality'... On the tour, KoRn performed w/ Head on guitar one night and talked about him rejoining the band... Head had embraced Christianity and was raising his daughter as a single father; he decided that KoRn had become a better situation for him to return to. KoRn released 'The Paradigm shift' in 2013, which marked the return of guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch and the band's declining popularity began to reverse and the next album 'The Serenity of suffering' in 2016 went to #4 on the US charts and #9 in the UK. In 2018, tragedy struck Jonathan Davis when his estranged wife Deven, mother of his 2 kids, died from an OD after years of addiction... Jonathan Davis wrote KoRn's 2019 album 'The Nothing' from his grief... KoRn's latest album 'Requiem' was released in 2022 after the covid-19 pandemic and charted #14 in the US, #8 in the UK.

So happy people are rediscovering music from my era, welcome

[@marvelcaptain3504]

Clown and Balltongue are great songs from their first album

[@scottclark3761]

This was out first intro to Korn. First Album, right here. "Are you ready?" No. We weren't. We weren't even close. This blew us away. As for Genre, people say Nu Metal.

[@pavanbiliyar]

Korn's Blind is one of those songs that invite, "Welcome to the mid 90s".

[@brownwestmoreland1077]

If you like this song, you should check out "Chutes and Ladders" by Korn as well. "Falling Away from Me" and definitely "Make Me Bad" if you're really into the bass!

[@cowsdotricks]

My absolute favorite band for nearly 30 years.

[@scottmayo7545]

I remember Korn live in 99 and it was awesome. TOOL is another bass forward band you'd like.

[@Shakino]

this and freak on a leash are such a bangers, but you should react also to "daddy" which is so incredibly touching i've cried so many times listening to that song

[@joseluisdusoleil]

your reaction represents my truly reaction every time i listen this song

[@templolatino]

[@androidmichaelremy3904]

the song "Make Me Bad" is the one where i started to love Korn. pretty pop-addictive!

[@ritchkurpeski3965]

Millie, so glad you discovered and enjoy Korn. In order to add variety but also because you like Korns base. You should try listening to "Godsmack - Whatever". II really think you'll like it also.

[@DeusExMachina0000000]

Glad u enjoyed this song. I highly recommend either of the following songs because of the bass: Got the Life, Dead bodies everywhere, BBK. In Fact there is a tutorial of the basset teaching you how to to play one of the songs. His name is Feildy.

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

Jonathan Davis plays the Bagpipes in the song SHOOTS AND LADDERS 😊

Bassist’s name is Fieldy.. I was in HS in the 90s, I saw this cassette tape of Korn in the music store and I bought it without knowing what they sound like cause the album cover looked cool.. but I kinda expected they would be heavy.. I have been a fan ever since

[@deckofcards87]

The guys in Korn.. like almost every metal band in the 90s.. loved Pantera. Definitely check them out if you haven't yet. Legendary group from Arlington Texas.
